Training camp practice highlights, notes and quotes
By Steve Corkran
Sunday, August 14th, 2011 at 7:37 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders coach Hue Jackson says time and again that, “It’s all about performance.” Rookie wide receiver Denarius Moore is on the verge of putting that idiom to the test.
Every day, Moore not only is the best wide receiver on the field, oftentimes he is the best player, period. It has reached the point where this isn’t some one-week wonder, flash in the pan or fluke. The man can flat out play.
That’s what Jackson says he is looking for, playmakers. No one personifies that more than Moore, a fifth-round draft pick out of Tennessee.
On Sunday, Moore was at it again. Not once, or twice, but three times he had fans and teammates oohing and aahing over his ability to get open, adjust to the ball flight, get position on the defender and make a play on the ball.
The first time, Moore slowed up, outleaped rookie cornerback Sterling Moore and snared the ball at the highest point as people gasped. Moore came down with the ball, but it came out as he hit the ground. The play likely would have been ruled an incompletion, but it’s worth pointing out because few other receivers would have done the things necessary to make it close to a reception.
A bit later, Moore worked the left sideline, positioned himself just inbouns and made an outstretched catch of a dart in front of the defender.
On the third play, Moore beat cornerback Jeremy Ware with a double-move, with Moore continuing toward the end zone as Ware slipped to the ground. Safety Jerome Boyd made a sensational diving play to prevent the wide-open Moore from scoring.
To hear Moore tell it, there’s nothing to see here. What he’s doing is what he always does. Don’t be so surprised.
“I hear it here and there,” Moore said after practice. “Coaches say I’m doing a good job, players say I’m doing a good job – they actually talk to me more. So, I guess I’m fitting in pretty well with the team right now.”
Fitting in? Jackson is going to have some explaining to do if Moore isn’t starting Sept. 12 against the Denver Broncos, or if Moore isn’t on the field a ton. There are 31 coaches and general managers grilling their scouting departments on how they let Moore slip past in the draft.
“It goes without question what he’s doing,” Jackson said. “For me to talk about him, there’s no reason to. … You get to see his plays because he jumps over people and he makes these fantastic catches and he runs with punts and all that.”
*Quite a sight after practice, with second-year left offensive tackle Jared Veldheer and rookie offensive linemen Stefen Wisniewski and Joseph Barksdale getting in some extra work with assistant offensive line coach Steve Wisniewski long after the other players hit the showers.
Perhaps it’s no wonder that Jackson is so high on those guys. As for the two rookies, Jackson said: “Those guys are getting it done.”
And Wisniewski? “We drafted the right guy.”
Wisniewski has been so impressive, Jackson said, that the Raiders have to find a starting spot for him on the line, even if it mean moving him to left guard.
“I’m just trying to, again, just keep finding the right pieces, as you continue to watch the tape each and every night and see what’s gonna’ be our best fit for him,” Jackson said of Wisniewski. “Because he’s a very tremendous player. We drafted the right guy. He has all the qualities that we were looking for. He’s everything that I thought he would be, and he’s gotta’ be up there somewhere. So, if it’s not at center, obviously, he has the capability of playing guard.”
*Barksdale showed his fiery side midway through practice Sunday when he delivered several punches to defensive tackle Tommie Hill at the end of a one-on-one pass-protection drill.
“I’m very all right with it,” Jackson said. “That’s competing. I keep telling you. I’m going to create an environment where our players get better every day. I don’t know any other way to do it. Our players have bought into it.
“We saw iron sharpens iron, and the more you work at it it’s going to get hot, it’s going to get testy, but they all love and respect each other when they go in that locker room. But out there between the lines there’s a job to be done and I think they understand what it takes to get it done.”
Barksdale shrugged off the dustup between he and Hill.
“It happens, man,” Barksdale said. “That was actually self defense. I didn’t start that, if you were watching. But it happens, it’s unfortunate. We are teammates and, at the end of the day, we’re still cool. It gets hot. Things happen.”
*More reason to be giddy over Denarius Moore? Watching him and Nick Miller field punts offers some insight into Moore’s athleticism, grace and versatility.
Moore fields just about every punt with his hands. You wouldn’t hear a sound if you had your eyes closed. Miller tends to field punts against his body, with the sound of the ball hitting his pads quite audible from a distance.
Don’t be surprised to see Moore as one of the primary receivers and the punt returner come Sept. 12.
*Backup defensive tackle Desmond Bryant “has something going on” with his left hand, Jackson admitted.
Something, indeed. Bryant’s left hand had a huge wrap Sunday, though it didn’t seem to affect his ability to play the position. The wrap points to Bryant suffering a fracture of some kind, though that hasn’t been revealed.
*Steve Wisniewski isn’t being shy about his first foray into coaching in the NFL. At one point Sunday, he presided over a drill that featured defensive linemen against offensive linemen as offensive line coach Bob Wylie and defensive line coach Mike Waufle watched and listened in on.
*Rookie receiver Eddie McGee returned to practice after a lenghty absence caused by an undisclosed injury. He has his work cut out for him in terms of doing enough within the next two to three weeks if he is to make the 53-man roster.
*Offensive lineman Stephon Heyer is wearing a protective sleeve on his upper right arm. He said he suffered a strained triceps in practice Saturday and that he won’t be out for too long.
Heyer was signed to compete for a starting spot on the line, and he has made the most of his opportunity so far. He is working at guard and tackle as a means of making himself more versatile.
“I felt good (before the injury),” Heyer said. “Moving around better. Felt like I’m in good shape right now. Definitely was making strides at either position. Just a minor setback. I’ll get some time here to heal up a little bit and get back to work.”
*Turns out, rookie cornerback Chimdi Chekwa has dislocated his left shoulder before. He said he did it three years ago at Ohio State. He played the next game.
Raiders trainers forced Chekwa to sit out several days until they were certain that he is ready for full contact and not at heightened risk of reinjuring his shoulder.
“My approach is to ease back into it, but my mind is telling me to make up for lost time,” Chekwa said. “Every rep I get I try to make the most of it. I’m a little bit harder on myself because I’m just getting to start in practice for real and every time I mess up I get hard on myself, but it’s good to get out there and run around a little bit.”
Missing Oakland’s first exhibition game was the hardest part, Chekwa said.
“It was tough, watching some of the other rookies, (Sterling) Moore and DVD (DeMarcus Van Dyke) out there playing a little bit. I wanted to get out there and compete with them but I couldn’t. I need to be patient. I had an injury, so I had to be patient and kind of ease back into it.”
*Running back Darren McFadden (orbital bone), receivers Chaz Schilens (knee), Murphy (hamstring) and Ford (hand) and defensive end Trevor Scott (knee) missed practice once again. No firm timetable on the return of any of those players, Jackson said.
*Approximately 100 fans attended practice Sunday. This marks the second straight day that the Raiders welcomed a small contingent of fans, when normally their practices are closed to the public.
*Jackson said Sunday that he and managing general partner Al Davis are in constant contact about the state of the Raiders.
“Absolutely! This is his football team, and he lets me drive the engine,” Jackson said. “I talk to him all the time about what we’re doing, where we are, how I feel we are, where we’re getting to. This team has made a lot of strides. … I want them faster. We all do, but it’s been three weeks.
“But I give him my input and, trust me, he listens. And he gives me his input, and on we march. And that’s what this things all about. It’s about working together, and the best way to work together is to be able to communicate. And we do that, and we do that well.”
*The loss of Hiram Eugene to a dislocated hip brings about the need to find a replacement as the gunner on punts. Jackson said that’s not an easy task.
“It’s very important because Shane (Lechler, punter) depends on those guys to go down there and make plays for him,” Jackson said. “And we have some very young talented players and some veteran players that can do it. We’ll see how that unfolds but, obviously, it’s a tough … job. It’s a job that guys are vying for. They want that job. They want that opportunity because we know how important it is to our football team.”

This is always my favorite part of a Genital beat down – the poor punching bag gets all flustered and accuses me of stealing his lady’s man blog personality.
I know, I know … too hilarious!
Then he’ll refuse to acknowledge that he’s been ducking my generous invitation for an in-person beatdown for the last 6 months!
C’mon, little Genital … you know you can do it!

Yet another classic – and hilarious – defeat of Brian the Genital, grandson of KrappyKell. Obviously he’s run for the hills yet again to lick his sizeable wounds.
And to answer your question, no – it NEVER gets old!
Alright nerds, I’m off to the after party aboard my boat, where I’ll do special DJ set.

“Jackson is going to have some explaining to do if (D-Wow)Moore isn’t starting Sept. 12 against the Denver Broncos, of if Moore isn’t on the field a ton.”
Agree. That will send the right message to the team. Get rewarded for good performance. Especially since…
“No firm timetable” on the return of Chaz, Murph & Ford V12. DHB missed some camp time too.

I don’t think Chaz Schilens has ever not been on the injury report. I think he first went on it, about three minutes after he hung up the phone with whoever called him and asked him if he wanted to be a Raider, after jumping up and down in his family’s living room.

I did not know that. That is very interesting. It helps me understand KK’s sincere disdain for Al Davis. But as far as MR is concerned, he is just flat out nasty and he don’t like Al period.

If we start DMac with Moore, Ford, and Boss, we should be able to score pretty well.

So glad football season is back and IDIOTIC posts like this are the exception. So glad Denarious Moore is getting it done, now if Barksdale is the same at RT, i can be a little relieved. If Culpepper is a 49er, it may be an interesting match-up this week.
Eugene out for year, so Stevie Brown will have to step up, big-time. Former Raider Renaldo Hill is avail. in FA and so is Darren Sharper (both working out for Pats this week)

I’m going to be so mad if Moore starts in the regular season and all that skill and talent he became renowned for in camp went out the window. I really hope it doesn’t, but I’ll be soooooo depressed if it did. Someone has got to take Chaz’s job so the organization doesn’t feel like they have to wait on him anymore.
August 15th, 2011 at 1:06 am
Everyone including myself want to see their favorite player play more. I would love o see David Ausberry play a lot but I know the nuances of the position are much more difficult than he may be ready for. The C position is hotly contested right now. We drafted a great young player and he’s vying for the starting position at C but what happens is fans tend to wnat to see the new guy unless they like the old guy. But Satele is NOT as bad a C as people in here want to believe in fact I think he’s rather good. But for some reason no one likes the guy.
Playing C is a thinking man’s position it’s just not about girth and size and strength it’a about understanding formations and blocking assignments. Making line calls and getting the Oline set to counter what the defense is trying to do as well as well set the line to execute the play called.
Satele is a good C and IMHO Wiz can really help us if he mans the OG position vacated by Gallery it makes the entire line better.
It seems the young OT Barksdale is legit and that is a HUGE help it gives a great depth at that RT position now we can fil the RG position much easier. I think though Bruce Campbell is going to have a lot to say about who ultimatey gets that spot before the preseason is over.
Now to everyone pet peeve DHB no one is pulling for DHB more tghan me. But as far as him starting I couldn’t care less. What I want from DHB is to continue working and honing his skills because he has a world of potential and can be a huge addition to that rec’s corp. How Hue uses him is up to Hue. I want to win if playing Moore as a starter helps us win no one more in favor of that happening than myself. I told everyone about that kid before you ever had an after thought of him. I’m a HUGE DMoore fan as I am a TJ fan whether they start or not is NOT my affair tha’s up to the coaches. I just want the players to be utilized to the best of THEIR abilities instead of some preconceaved notion. Like some coach wnating to prove HE KNOWS BETTER than MR Davis I hate that element of this entire thing I care about putting the best players on the field and putting them in position to succeed. Just eliminate the entire what does Mr Davis think out of the equation. Mr Davis wwants to win can YOU WIN if you can do that he does care if you play curious Georg. But fans have this idea that he favors one player over another. HE DRAFTED THEM ALL they are all HIS players he wnats the coach to coach them to the best of his ability………….period
But the fans and the media just don’t understand or fathom that. DHB is NOT Mr Davis’ love child, he’s a player and if he can play, play him if he can’t sit him and then cut him. He did it to Russell and he’ll do it to DHB if he cannot cut it……………period
August 15th, 2011 at 1:13 am
The organization isn’t WAITING on Chaz they see a talented player that they feel cna help them and their protecting their interest. If Chaz couldn’t contribute they wouldn’t care he’d get released the truth is he can flat out play. They have drafted 5 WR’s since him, but why cut hm when the guy can play and his cap # is nill?
They’ve brought in at least 10 WR through FA and draft and trade so I’m not sure what you mean wait on him? If they didn’t think he could help them win he’d be out the door in a NY second. Chaz is a luxury at this point they have moved on and he has to catch up because the train is leaving either he gets on it or he gets left…………period

_______________________________________
Chaz’s cap number may be low, but it’s kind of a moot point if he always ends up on IR. Bottom line = he is NOT helping the team, so enough is enough. Receivers with injury problems have been let go by teams around the league — they may catch on with other teams, but (typically) they are never the same. Unfortunately, Chaz’s window of being a good, dependable receiver in the NFL is closing fast. I say that the Raiders should cut their losses now.

Just finished watching the rest of the game on TiVO — not bad! Trent Edwards looked pretty sharp. Mental lapses resulted in some needless penalties and three fumbles (although we got them all back). DVD was a little shaky, but he got a LOT of valuable reps. Khalif and Walter McFadden looked like “deer in the headlights” all night. A throwaway drive at the end of the game was the only difference between winning and losing. Aside from the final score (which means nothing, really), I liked a lot of what I saw. RAIDER ON!

All the calls for more blitzing that you often see on here are mis-guided, IMO. Al Davis is right – you are better off getting pressure from just your front four and having the other guys in coverage. If your front four are completely useless and cannot get in the QBs face then, yeah, you have to look at bringing one or two extra guys from somewhere unexpected.
But Raider Dline is perfectly capable of getting after the QB. That being the case, blitzing should be saved for certain specific situations – for example, if we are going up against a very inexperienced and not very competent Oline/teams with backs that cannot pass block well or a QB that does not read defenses well and/or is a Corky Collins type with a wind-up throwing motion, meaning that he’s not gonna get the “hot read,” throw off in a hurry.
Also, having let Nnamdi walk, we really are going to need to look at providing some safety help for the corners at times — if Bresnahan finds the courage to do that (wrath of Al.)

Improved D-line play and the ability of the linebackers to be able to help out significantly in pass coverage will largely determine the number of blitzes.
August 15th, 2011 at 5:52 am
It will be interesting to see how the defense looks when we have all the starters out on the field at once. I can’t wait to see “Run-DMC” back in action. Boss and Ausberry both look good; I think the Raiders will be alright, even without Zach.

Notes: McFadden is still sidelined because of a fractured orbital bone. … Rookie Joseph Barksdale(notes) took reps at left tackle after spending most of camp at right tackle. Barksdale was also involved in a fracas with teammate Tommie Hill(notes). Barksdale threw three punches during the scrum before the two were separated.

I wish they would leave this guy at RT to have an opprtunity to beat out Barnes. I’m just not comfortable with Barnes at RT, even before his “mistakes”
Must be Satele is your starting center for the monday night opener. Wiz was projected to be the starting center before Samson signed, now they’re trying to find a starting spot for the young man. I don’t have a problem with Samson playing center and Wiz at LG for now.

I said for months leading up to the draft that I think Wiz will play G not Center in the league.
The guy is clearly more comfortable at G, he only played one year of center in college and that was two years ago.
I think he can be an All-Pro, fringe HOF guard like his uncle, and maybe just an average C.

Hello Raider family, im not a regular but im back from the summer of disgust. Nice to be able to watch the nfl again. I am excited about the youth on offensive line and Im sure quite a few of us had a feeling the raiders stole one in moore when he was drafted. Good job AL only thing I ask is dont let this guy play anything but WR and stay healthy. Also if only we kept Nnamdi its highly upsetting to have to go out and buy another authentic raider jersey again. If the offensive line and corners can play we could have a nice season. Heres to fingers crossed and go raiders forever

What’s the realistic glass half-full projections for DHB?
I’m thinking 50 catches 850 yards and 7 TD’s would be a dream-like scenario from him, and about the peak of his ceiling (at least this year).
I don’t think he will get the run to be able to put up those type of numbers, but we shall see.

TheoC – in the first SD game then, sure, we dialled up some blitzes at the end of the game, when they were not really expecting it. But it certainly wasn’t a staple of the approach earlier in the game.
The second game in San Diego, Raider Dline really dominated that game, from start to finish, IMO.

If our dline can generate the pressure that is needed to make the QB uncomfrtable, hit him in the mouth, and chase his A$$ out of the pocket I am all for it…
I am also for mixing up the D…I liked what I saw in sending huff, and who ever else…
Not sure what you mean by staple, the blitz should be a feature of our D IMO…However, time will tell if our D Line can get to the QB with the base 4….

Hue has “committed to getting the ball to Darrius”. So, let’s see, once the season starts. He had a good catch against the Cardinals — looked good, but it’s early yet. When LIVE action starts and the game is on the line, let’s see if he can run good routes and make solid catches. He will have his opportunities this year – pencil him in as a starter. Hope for the best …
August 15th, 2011 at 6:58 am
I am starting to agree with you Thec07 on DHB. Imo he looked very good in his limited action against the Cards. Looks to me like we will be carrying 6 WRs through the season, and wont be suiting a 3rd qb.

I think Chaz will end up on IR at some point here, and you HAVE TO KEEP 3 QB’s in today’s NFL.
Jerry tweeted that Raiders teams in the past have only kept 3 safeties, so that might be where we thin out.

DHB may have 12 receptions on 50 targets and zero touchdowns. That is his ceiling. Moore will double his career output by mid season and start fewer games because Al will still have a steel rod for DHB. DHB will be great. Get over it, right, brown hole priest!?

Thec07,
Which players do you think we should send in on blitzes?
Besides Huffy, MM34 I don’t think many of the others are any good at it.
Wimbley is, but I don’t consider that a “blitz”. Branch has shown well, especially in run-blitzes.
But McClain, Groves, Routt, CJ37 and the rest flat out stink at blitzing, and we would be better served, IMO, leaving them be.

There is a rule change this year. Last year the 46th suited player for each game day was the 3rd qb, and he was restricted because if the 3rd qb entered the game before the 4th qtr then the other 2 could NOT return. No the 46th player can be anyone and there is no 3rd qb restriction. We dont have a ‘wildcat QB’ on the roster, and I dont see a need for us to suit 3 qbs on game day, when that valuable roster spot can be used by someone contributing to the game.

What I want from DHB is to continue working and honing his skills because he has a world of potential and can be a huge addition to that rec’s corp. How Hue uses him is up to Hue.”
That is comedy. How Hue uses the marginal-UFL talent, DHB is up to Al, not Hue. World of potential? What do you based that on? His speed? DHB is already a bust and he starting last year cost the team games as the offense was playing 10 on 11..

If you’ll look at tape, you’ll see that he telegraphs his move when he’s gonna blitz. He needs to concentrate on what Coach Woodson is teaching him about “pulling the trigger” and work on his tackling technique.

And Huff is pretty good in coverage, so blitzing him frequently could have some consequences on the back end.
I’m not a huge fan of blitzing with our starting team. Obviously you have to do it, even just for the sake of switching things up.
I just want them to be more creative defensively, disguise coverages better, give the opposing QB’s some different pre-snap looks and the like.
Creative doesn’t always mean send more men in on a blitz.

Big Question: Can Heyward-Bey fix hands?
June, 15, 2010
By Bill Williamson
Will Oakland receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey make big strides in his second NFL season after a disappointing rookie campaign?
Heyward-Bey will be one of the most closely watched second-year players in the NFL.
Oakland receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey had just nine catches his rookie season.
He must show improvement after a terrible rookie season. Heyward-Bey had only nine catches for 124 yards in 11 starts. Those are staggering numbers. Heyward-Bey’s college reputation for having unreliable hands continued in his rookie season.
The Raiders were widely criticized for taking the Maryland product with the seventh pick over Michael Crabtree, who was considered the best receiver prospect available. Crabtree, who went at No. 10 to San Francisco, had 48 catches despite holding out for five games.
The Raiders believe in Heyward-Bey. Last weekend, they sent out a rare press release expressing their expectations for Heyward-Bey. Recent reports say he has looked good in OTAs.
The Raiders clearly think Heyward-Bey can provide big things. But after his rookie season, hopes must be tempered. It’s terrific that he has made offseason strides, but the kid must show he can perform and hold onto the ball when it counts.
Heyward-Bey has the ability to make plays in the NFL. He is very fast and a hard worker. But he has a lot of work to do.
If Heyward-Bey can stay in the starting lineup, learn to catch consistently and come up with 40 to 50 catches this season, it would have to be considered a success for him. But the key for Heyward-Bey is to continue to get better catching the ball. Until he shows he can do that on a regular basis, the jury is still out.
Answer last year? NO! This year, again..NO
August 15th, 2011 at 7:33 am
Crabtree stats:2010 Regular Season 55 741 13.5 60 6 40 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0
Career 103 1,366 13.3 60 8 67 0 0 0.0 0 0 1 1
I only wish DHB was this type of bust.
August 15th, 2011 at 7:34 am
I strongly believe that a good, smart QB with a good line would actively want an opponent to blitz – after all, it just leaves holes in coverage and if you are smart enough to read where the man is coming from…
As for DHB, I have not seen a less natural pass-catcher. He’s having to work his tail off to try and get by sweat and tears to a place that a natural wideout would automatically be at. The first big test of the Hue regime is whether he has the clout and authority to have D Moore take a large portion of starting snaps, or whether the Al is going to insist on Bey getting them, even though we also have Ford and Murphy.

Jackson wants to be extra cautious with Schilens because of how vital he is to the offense when healthy.

Schilens and Louis Murphy are the projected starters based on their experience

Jackson doled out high praise for Darrius Heyward-Bey for his three receptions, including one that he turned into a long touchdown.
“He’s gotten better,” Jackson said. “The guy caught the ball in the game. We threw it to him, and he caught it. He went up and made a play on a contested catch. As I told you guys before, there’s no question in my mind that, at some point in time, he’s going to start coming down with those.
“He is working his tail off. He is very determined. He had a great day today. He’s catching the ball when we throw it to him, and that’s what matters. Obviously, his confidence is up, and the quarterback’s confidence is up in him. We just keep on going, and he’s doing a heck of a job.”

“You’re going to laugh, that’s as vanilla as I’ve been in a long time,” Jackson said. “That was vanilla ice cream. I mean, there was no cherry on the top, no sprinkles. There was nothing to that. That was basic, Raider football. You’ll know when I decide to open up this can. We ain’t opened it yet. There’s no need to. We’re still teaching our team.”

In one preseason game this year with DHB having limited practice due to injury he made the only catchable reception thrown his way and burned his man on an underthrown ball on another. With Chaz Murphy and Ford injured he is our 2nd best receiver so why shouldn’t he start? Let’s see what he does during the preseason b4 we throw him off the cliff

Chaz has a sprain, and we’ll be week to week with it.
I think he’ll heal quickly from this and be back out here very soon. – Hue Jackson

August 15th, 2011 at 8:53 am
When the Monday night Denver game kicks off and I see DHB starting instead of the other wide out who have played better during camp and preseason, we will all know that AD is forcing Hue’s hand.
This will be a true tell as to how much power Hue has, or will he be forced to play the Scholarship player and lose the respect of his men.
August 15th, 2011 at 8:55 am
My system is not about a system. My system is about the players that I have, and you put players in position to have success, period.

Hue Jackson saying “period” basically makes it official, right?
He just won over 95 percent of this blog (if he hadn’t already) as Head Coach by finishing his sentence that way!

Moore should take over Chaz’s spot, with Ford in the slot, and Murph on the other side.
Rotating DHB in occasionally in for Moore for certain plays.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t Moore playing Murphy’s Z receiver spot against the Cards?

Are you looking forward to the Battle of the Bay against the 49ers?
Yes, I am. I’m looking forward to the next opponent. I mean, we just lost. So, next team, we’re ready to play. We’re ready to put this team back out there, get better and make the next jump. I think our guys will be ready to perform.

Does anybody else think that Hue Jackson will throw the kitchen sink at the 49ers (as far as play calling goes) since they gave him a token Rooney Rule HC interview with no actual consideration for the job since they had already decided on Jim Harbaugh from Stanford?
Hue Jackson against SF last season was also the WORST I have seen his play calling. I mean PATHETIC. Most fans want to blame Jason Campbell for that, but it just isn’t logical to do so. Another “heroic” blog favorite who whiffed against SF last year was Jacoby Ford. Down by 8 points – JCamp hit him with a perfectly thrown pass on 3rd down just beyond the sticks. one that only he (not the defender) could have snagged. It hit him in the hands & chest and he dropped it. In comes Lechler to punt again with 2 minutes left in the game
August 15th, 2011 at 9:10 am
DHB is our 2nd best receiver with Chaz Murphy and Ford hurt. Why not withold judgement until the end of preseason? And if Murphy starts over Moore is Al still forcing his hand? You don’t think Al likes the guy he drafted in the 5th round?
August 15th, 2011 at 9:15 am
They had a great shot of DHBs catch during the game. He made the catch, but it really showed that he does not run a crisp route.
Wasn’t much of a cut at all, more like a circling lumber.

Big Question: Can Heyward-Bey fix hands?
June, 15, 2010
By Bill Williamson
Will Oakland receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey make big strides in his second NFL season after a disappointing rookie campaign?
Heyward-Bey will be one of the most closely watched second-year players in the NFL.
Oakland receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey had just nine catches his rookie season.
He must show improvement after a terrible rookie season. Heyward-Bey had only nine catches for 124 yards in 11 starts. Those are staggering numbers. Heyward-Bey’s college reputation for having unreliable hands continued in his rookie season.
The Raiders were widely criticized for taking the Maryland product with the seventh pick over Michael Crabtree, who was considered the best receiver prospect available. Crabtree, who went at No. 10 to San Francisco, had 48 catches despite holding out for five games.
The Raiders believe in Heyward-Bey. Last weekend, they sent out a rare press release expressing their expectations for Heyward-Bey. Recent reports say he has looked good in OTAs.
The Raiders clearly think Heyward-Bey can provide big things. But after his rookie season, hopes must be tempered. It’s terrific that he has made offseason strides, but the kid must show he can perform and hold onto the ball when it counts.
Heyward-Bey has the ability to make plays in the NFL. He is very fast and a hard worker. But he has a lot of work to do.
If Heyward-Bey can stay in the starting lineup, learn to catch consistently and come up with 40 to 50 catches this season, it would have to be considered a success for him. But the key for Heyward-Bey is to continue to get better catching the ball. Until he shows he can do that on a regular basis, the jury is still out.
Answer last year? NO! This year, again..NO

I finally watched the game on the NFL network, funny how NFL Ticket doesn’t include preseaon games, Hagan got lucky on that long pass. He dodn’t fight for the ball it just sort of fell into his hands.
Jason Campbell did look a lot smoother in the pocket and behind Center in general, Edwards seems like a really good QB to be 3rd string, God speed Hiram, D.Moore seems like the real deal. Ausberry shows promise, great catch in the endzone, great goal line stance by the second team DL, Seabass looks ready to go, but I’d be happier if he scored less 3 points and our offense scored more td’s. Lots of times down in the red zone and not many TD’s.

Big Ted
I agree with most my edis:
Ausberry in at TE, I aloso think Tonga will not make the cut, but remain on practice squad as back up FB, Hue would much rather have that 3rd TE, and I would not be surprised if Ausberry is 2nd string and Meyers is 3rd or cut/traded (Gordon will be practice squad for more than one position);
Hagan in at WR (for either N. Miller, Murphy traded, or C. Schilens waived if lingering injuries continue);
Lamaak in at Tackle -backup of course- either Loper or Carlisle will be traded, Barnes might still make the squad as I think we will carry 9 OL on the 53 man roster;
Hill makes the 53 man roster on the DLine at the expense of one of the back up LBs- Boyd
Chekwa makes the roster as well- either Ware, McFadden, or Brown get traded other teams are hurting in terms of DBs, we will get a 5th at least for one of them.

you don’t trade Murphy to make room for Hagan. you slice Nick Miller the roster spot killer
you don’t chop Loper or Carlisle when we’re short at guard. BCamp just had his first (limited) practice and Wiz II at LG is a work in progress – he’s a natural RG though
Barnes won’t be needed at 3TE so if his penalties persist – boot him
August 15th, 2011 at 10:12 am
I like Jerome Boyd on the 53 for special teams, Plus he can play OLB or SS.
I’d like to see Ausberry in a couple more games before I trade him for Meyers, or Tonga.

I like Jerome Boyd on the 53 for special teams, Plus he can play OLB or SS.
I’d like to see Ausberry in a couple more games before I trade him for Meyers, or Tonga.
(I like Tonga because he is a true FB, but he may be obsolete in this offence).
I like N.Miller for ‘teams as well.

I thought Boyd was one of the worst players on the field this past weekend. I’m going to have to keep my eye on him against the niners since you think he’s a good player.
I think he’s going to have a hard time making it as a 5th S. Let’s see if they put him at gunner to try and replace Eugene.

The Raiders’ #2 ranked run game didn’t seem to suffer much because of Reece’s blocking skills or lack thereof.
The Raiders aren’t going to carry two fullbacks. Tonga will go on the practice squad.

ROG,
you knows how this works. don’t play dumb. you’re a semi pro for a reason
how many FB’s did the Raiders keep on the roster last year? one. Reece
We finished #2 in rushing with a fat receiver like Marcel lead blocking
why would we waste a spot for Tonga this year when we didn’t last year? Mayonaisse to the practice squad again. If he signs elsewhere? what have we really lost?

Nicky Miller’s roster spot is pretty secure.
He’d have to have a couple of fumbled punts and dropped passes to even move to bubble status.
He’s our 1st team PR right now and will be the backup PR is they give that job to Moore. I think he is also the backup KR guy.

Ausberry, Meyers, Boss Man are your three TEs.
barring what will not be mentioned or a trade this will be the case, Hue will want three TDs, as he uses two TE sets for passing plays as well as running plays.
Taiwan Jones will be the back up PR- Nick & Rankin will play all 4 preseason games in order to protect players and be ready just in case
Raiders would not be trading Murphy for Hagan we would be trading him for a draft pick in 2012, besides I think the Raiders sure 5 WRs are going to be: Ford, DHB, Moore, Murphy, and Hagan with nick, Chaz, and Bodiford battling for the last spot [plus I still think Chad O. is still in play].

No team is going to run for 150 yards every single game. Good defenses were able to focus on the run because the Raiders’ offense was one-dimensional. The passing game simply wasn’t a threat. If that hasn’t changed since last season, the Raiders have more problems than deciding whether or not to carry an extra fullback.

RRS, you almost have me convinced – switching Ausberry for Tonga on my 53.
Tonga is PS eligible, and is less likely to get swooped by another team. He would still be available if Reece goes down – and Cartwright could help there too.
Ausberry had a great TD catch, but I’d like to see more of him in this weekend.

Mr. Goethel looked really good in the preseason game, leading the defense, attacking running plays, worked sideline to sideline;
Raiders are solid at starting LB, deep at MLB, but that WLB and overall depth scares the hell outta me, if Tatupu is willing to play OLB, Raiders need to sign him.

If not, don’t see how you can rationalize a roster spot when you can just stash him on the practice squad.
I think we are going to see more single back sets this year anyway.
2 TEs and 3 WRs.
Probably even see Reece motioned outta there a lot to create single back sets and him as a mismatch against Safeties and LBs.

We’re talking Superbowl now? Green Bay didn’t “mash” the Steelers defense, but still won that game. Your offense needs to be versatile, or you’re not even going to be a wildcard team.

If you can’t pass the ball and can’t protect your QB, good teams will have no problem shutting down the running game too. One-dimensional offenses don’t survive in the playoffs. Can’t just keep running the ball and expect things to happen.

… and they destroyed lesser teams, even team that could “mash” defenses with an established run-blocking fullback.
A marginal (and FAR from certain) upgrade in the running game at the fullback position will do nothing against the best defenses in the NFL.
You have to be versatile. Ausberry and Reece give the Raiders options in the passing game, which is where improvement desperately needs to be made. Tonga can easily be stashed on the practice squad.
Two fullbacks on the roster when the fullback position is used in maybe a third of the offensive snaps? That’s not going to make the Raiders a Superbowl team.
The Raiders showed last season that they desperately needed to carry three TEs on the roster. Ausberry can fill that 3rd TE role.
If Tonga is on the roster, he’ll have to prove his worth on special teams as well. Keeping a player on the roster for one or two snaps a game at most when A) the running game isn’t what needs dramatic improvement and B) when it would take a FB off the field who forces defenses to defend the pass as well as the run? Yeah, not great roster management.

Who do we have that are better? I think we will miss Thomas Howard this year.
Sign Capt. Kirk – for depth if nothing else!
Goethel a good backup MLB but who backs up Wimbley?
August 15th, 2011 at 11:15 am
BigTed, backup LBs are ST players due to their size/sped combo.Williams is a very good ST player and that is why he always makes the team.Too often we as fans overlook the value certain players have as ST players.We look at their value as starters only.
August 15th, 2011 at 11:17 am
DHB will never be a “GREAT” player and be a HOFer!!!
He might be an average player…but that about it!!
Don’t think he’ll ever be a #1 or #2 WR on any other team…that’s just the way it is!!

JFB,
I don’t see how you could possibly say that Carlisle was the best OL on the field this past game.
Satele had several one on one matchups with the DT and handled that task with ease.
Heyer was literally moving folks off the line and finishing to the groung as a LG with the ones.
Barnes’ blocking was outstanding.
Veldheer’s man wasn’t heard from all night.
66 could have arguably been the worst OL that night. And that isn’t a negative on him as I thought he played well too.

I know it’s too early to cut Barnes, but three penalties in a row is not a good way to win a roster spot.
Loper’s contract shows you what the Org thinks of him, and is why I don’t see him being cut. He is listed as the #1 LG on the unofficial depth. – He’d be a backup for sure!
August 15th, 2011 at 11:56 am
I have no idea Lefty.
August 15th, 2011 at 11:56 am
Sad to say, I smell a 7-9 season coming up. And the reasons are not hard to fathom:
– Inexperienced offensive line
– Continued issues with run defense (apparently, Al is hoping this problem just goes away by itself since he never addressed it during the off season).
–Marginal receiver corp
–Spotty play in the secondary
–Janikowski costs us at least one game
I hope I’m wrong but I don’t see a realistic run at even a wild card.
August 15th, 2011 at 11:56 am
And, if you’re right, plataynegro (which you’re not..but just playing along), then yes, I’ll punish all of the owners for them not doing something about Al.

The truest and best fans are the ones who love the team and are sickened by what Davis has done to it. We want to succeed and don’t believe anything changes until the Old Creeper is gone. Some of you dipchits will never get this. That’s your problem.

I really won’t be able to know how good Hue JAx is as a head coach until after the Denver on Monday night.
But he seems to be very clear in his communication and seems to be very energetic about his craft.
Compared to Cable he seems to be more present. Cable appeared lost sometimes and unable to express himself.
At least our offense improved under Hue Jax

Nope, not a Coward, BeAlwaysUrself. And frankly I don’t even know what point you’re trying to make by calling me one. Just why are you inviting me to games, anyway? Do you plan on assaulting me? Do you frequently assault people at Raider games? If so, you’re going to be in prison soon, anyway. But I can tell you this much, I won’t be at a Raider game until Al Davis is out, period. And you won’t be able to find me by looking for the Raider hater. Because as soon as Al’s gone, I’ll be there decked out in Raider gear.

My issue with this is all the Wiz talk coming from Hue. If he is exceeding expectations, is “unbelievable”, “we drafted the right guy, and all this other good commentary, he should start at C.
I don’t understand us moving him to LG, a position he hasn’t played before. He played RG his senior year in college, so that’s the spot he should play if he doesn’t start at C.
But of course we have him practicing at LG, and Heyer coming in at LG, so who knows how this is going to shake out.

i wish hue would do a better job at keeping his love affair with moore a little more quite. as a person who lives in tenn (but not a vol fan) i keep hearing about how good he was after there q.b. situation got better. also that he can run and catch all the jumping,diving,keep your toes in bound type plays but when you need him the most to make a Basic catch he tends to loose his concentration and drops balls. i dont know how true this is. that said i hope hes the steal of the draft at the end of the season. just keep him on the down low till games really matter. then unleash hell on them. GO RAIDERS!!!!!!
August 15th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
I think the reason they may not want Wiz at RG, could be that in the high probability that Barksdale wins the RT position, with Wiz proving he needs to start somewhere, the Raiders may not want two rookies starting side by side.

Like I said earlier, raiderreign, if we have to hurt other owners to get rid of Al, so be it. That will only instill an urgency in them to get rid of him. And they just might be able to do it. God willing. But of course I think you’re confused as to how much teams do profit or lose off of ticket sales. You want us to believe the Raiders have no stake in the outcome of ticket sales when they spend millions in advertising of ticket sales each year? That is laughable.

The problem is, Thec, we have an owner that won’t let us win. We win with Gruden, Al gets rid of him. We finally hit .500 last year, Al dismantles the team! That’s why there’s boycotts of Al Davis, both silent and public.
August 15th, 2011 at 12:34 pm
still need the gunner on punts, which Mr. Eugene did really well, plus he was in the punter’s face a few times on returns
with Mr. Janokowski’s leg, I could see the Raider’s practicing high KOs trying to pin them at the 5-10 yard line
as return men will not be able to just let the ball bounce on the ground, should we recover it is our ball.
August 15th, 2011 at 12:35 pm

August 15th, 2011 at 12:37 pm
The 9er game should tell our team a lot about itself because the 9ers know our team better than any other preseason team. I hope we allow our starter to get to about 3/4 of the way through the first so we can see how it all works out.
August 15th, 2011 at 12:38 pm
You both have great points.
You are correct that with revenue sharing our lack of attendance at games will hurt the entire league not just the Raiders.
The other guy is right in that a lot of people hate Al Davis and stay away from the coliseum because of that.
One more thing to consider is if we were to get a new stadium here in Santa Clara and we did share it with the 9ers I would bet the stadium would be fuller and not as empty as it is now.

August 15th, 2011 at 12:41 pm
One more thing to consider is if we were to get a new stadium here in Santa Clara and we did share it with the 9ers I would bet the stadium would be fuller and not as empty as it is now.

Most of us don’t believe Al would let the Raiders go to the playoffs, raiderreign. That’s the point. Al finds a way to lose. Even if the team looks good early on, Al will find a way to lose when it counts. The Raiders haven’t been to the playoffs in almost a decade. So I don’t think we’re the ones going out on a limb with our logic.

outside of Darnell Dockett, the Cards front seven on Defense is pathetic!
don’t read too much into the Raiders O-Line based upon one Preseason game – especially against the redbirds

I’ve found that the only way to punish Al is through his pocket book. And, I know I’m not alone. Did you see how empty that stadium was? I have to say, and I say this as a Raider fan, it is awesome to see empty seats. Because I am boycotting Al Davis. I don’t root for the Raiders to lose. But empty seats? That’s a pleasure. A pure pleasure. Means the message is getting out there. Job well done, Raider fans. Keep it up. Don’t give your money to this man. Let him walk out of his crypt, into his owners’ box, and see nothing but a seat of empty green seats every sunday like he saw last thurs.

As far as the Raiders getting a new stadium…you have to consider what cities would be willing to build Al one, when Oakland doesn’t even want him. When Oakland doesn’t want you, there aren’t too many places to go. If you want the Raiders to get a stadium, that’s another reason to boycott Al. Because as long as Al’s around, they’re not getting one. Who in their right mind is investing in Al Davis today?

Well, you apparently are far more accustomed/familiar to trailer trash life than I. I’m pretty sheltered on my 3 acres in the redwood forest.

BeAlwaysUrself,
A guy says that black people for the most part aren’t intelligent and don’t speak well. He gets no invite to the game for you to meet up with? Just, “leave, troll!”?

I’ve been invited Fake Ray and he makes every excuse in the book

Fake Ray….still mad black athletes have took your women from ya and slammed them better than u ever could? Not a race issue its YOUR issue cuz you lack certain manhood traits

That was uncalled for. I’m not racist at all. I have black friends. I’m just forming my theory on the factual evidence.
August 15th, 2011 at 1:52 pm
Wow. Raider Ray is laying on the racism. Funny how BeAlwaysUrself hasn’t offered to meet him at a game yet. BeAlwaysUrself, a black man, evidently doesn’t get as angry at blatant racists as he does at people who merely want to discuss a GM change with the Raiders. Interesting.

There is a reason black QBs aren’t franchise QBs. They only get by on athleticism for so long. Look at the evidence. Culpepper, McNabb, Kordell Stewart, and Russell. All of them were supposed to be franchise QBs, they all got dumped.
***********************
Just like white women would dump you to go with the black qb in school?
August 15th, 2011 at 1:52 pm

*Quite a sight after practice, with second-year left offensive tackle Jared Veldheer and rookie offensive linemen Stefen Wisniewski and Joseph Barksdale getting in some extra work with assistant offensive line coach Steve Wisniewski long after the other players hit the showers.

I don’t think you are intelligent enough to back up your empty arguments. I notice you like to talk trash without backing it up.

What, you haven’t offered to meet him yet! It took you no less than 5 seconds to threaten me just for criticizing Al. Yet someone comes right in here and equates black people to animals, and you’re in a friendly little flame war with him. No threats yet. I don’t know who you are or what you are, BeAlwaysUrself. But I know this. Insults to Al Davis are far more offensive to you than racism against you and people of your ethnic background.
