Raiders training camp practice highlights, notes and quotes
By Steve Corkran
Friday, August 19th, 2011 at 2:29 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Coach Hue Jackson put his troops through a 65-minute practice Friday so that his players could “polish” up some things in prepartion for their exhibition game against the 49ers.
The practice featured the return of center Samson Satele from a left leg injury and running back Taiwan Jones, who has been out for quite awhile with a hamstring injury.
Satele jumped right back into the mix, only two days after he suffered an injury midway through practice. He received a majority of the reps with the first-team offense and showed no lingering effects from his injury.
Jones, meanwhile, was held out of full-team drills, even though he was in full uniform. That portends his not playing against the 49ers.
*Jackson remains mum on the playing time for his front-line players against the 49ers on Saturday night.
The first-team defense received only six snaps in most cases against the Arizona Cardinals in the first game. That almost caused a “mutiny,” according to Jackson.
“Oh, yeah, I was mad at Hue,” free safety Michael Huff said. “I told him at the game I was mad we only played six plays. I wanted to get out there and get my feet wet, to do a little more. So, hopefully, this week we play a lot more. You kind of never know, it depends on how the game goes.”
Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said it’s not the number of plays, it’s the quality of work for veteran players such as him, defensive tackle Richard Seymour and Huff.
“Preseason is to get you in game shape,” Kelly said. “None of these stats count. All you want to do is get your technique back, get back used to running into people and stuff like that. I just want to knock them down, get my technique down and I’ll be ready to go when we go to Denver.”
Jackson promised more playing time for his front-line guys.
“There was a little chuckle as I walked down the sideline because that’s the way you want them to be,” Jackson said of the near mutiny. “It’s the work that’s going on out here that’s starting to pay off. They can see it and they can feel it.
“Then, when you have an opportunity to do it you want to go do it. It’s like we gave them a little candy and took it away. We’ll give them a little more this week and see what they’ll do and just keep getting this thing to where we need to get it too.”
*Given teams weren’t able to conduct any offseason workouts, Jackson said, it’s possible that projected starters will see action in all four exhibition games.
Typically, the fourth and final game is reserved for young, inexperienced players, and those seeking to make the 53-man roster. It’s rare that starters play at all in the final game, with coaches already certain what they can do and fearful of getting any of them injured a little more than a week before the regular-season opener.
*Veteran Chad Jackson had himself quite a day at practice after an inauspicious beginning. He caught several passes on a variety of routes, including one for a touchdown in front of safety Stevie Brown.
Jackson, fellow veteran Derek Hagan, and several other receivers who weren’t on the team last year are making a strong push for inclusion on the opening-day roster.
Regardless who is part of the receiving corps, coach Jackson said he is confident that one of them is going to break out and have a huge season.
Randy Moss was the last wide receiver to compile a 1,000-yard season for a Raiders receiver, and that came in 2005. Louis Murphy led Raiders wide receivers with 609 yards last season. His 521 yards in 2009 led all wide receivers.
“Somebody’s going to jump out of that pack, there’s no question,” Jackson said. “I truly believe that. Somebody will jump out of the pack and have a bang-up season, and I suspect there’s going to be a couple players that will do that. Our offense is multi-faceted. We’re going to do everything we can to create opportunities for guys to make plays. (If a) guy shows me he can make plays, I am going to keep giving him opportunities to make plays. That’s what this is all about.”
*Still no sign of safety Mike Mitchell, who has been out for two weeks or so with an undisclosed injury. Other injured players have been spotted either working out with trainers or mingling with their teammates during practice.
Murphy declined comment on Friday, when asked for a brief update on his recent surgery.
*Huff said he is looking forward to defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan’s scheme, where Huff will be used in a variety of roles.
At times, Huff will slide over to cornerback, play nickel back, play dime back and even blitz more than he has in the past.
“That’s my Texas days, playing free, strong, nickel, play the dime a little bit,” Huff said. “That way, I get to do it all. That way I get to blitz more without the offense knowing. Anytime in the post, they knew I was coming. So, this will help us disguise more.”
In a perfect world, Huff would play more free safety than he is right now. However, that won’t take place until one of the young cornerbacks steps up and shows that he can be counted upon in pass coverage.
*Rookie tight end Davis Ausberry turned in the catch of the game in the Raiders exhibition contest against the Cardinals, when he snared a Trent Edwards pass and had the presence of mind to get both feet in the end zone before he went out of bounds.
That wasn’t a fluke, Ausberry said. He is a regular among young players who stay after practice for extra work with some of the assistant coaches.
“Well, it’s one of those things I work on every day,” Ausberry said. “You got to make the catch first, secure it, drag your toes and make it count. It was something I was concentrating on, just waiting for my number to be called. I got it and made the opportunity count.”
By most accounts, Ausberry is making a smooth transition from wide receiver to tight end in his first NFL season. There are some things that present a challenge, just the same.
“I have never been in a 3-point stance, so just having to recognize the defensive front and look at linebackers,” Ausberry said. “I have never done it before, and that’s something I am trying to work on everyday, trying to recognize the defense and use certain techniques to block. Things you would never know or learn as a wide receiver. That part of the game is starting to slow down for me a little bit.”
*Kelly and the other defensive linemen love playing for defensive line coach Mike Waufle, who Jackson calls the best at what he does.
At the same time, Kelly and his linemates get a kick out of Waufle’s intensity and unique way of teaching. Last year, Kelly chuckled and said “Waufle, he’s crazy.”
On Friday, Kelly got another chance to describe the coach he adores so much.
“Something wrong with Waufle,” Kelly said. “You can’t pick your coaches.”
On a serious note, Kelly pointed out fortunate he and the other defensive linemen are to work under Waufle.
“He does a great job,” Kelly said. “Waufle’s a veteran, he’s been around the game. He’s been with some of the best D-ends and the best D-tackles in Grady (Jackson) and Darrell Russell, Michael Strahan. So, you know he knows the game. It’s just he’s a little older than we are. You have a hard time relating, but we get the message. We know what he wants us to do.”
*Jackson uses one of former coach Tom Cable’s lines when outlining what the Raiders defense needs to do to become a dominant unit.
He watched Baltimore Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis for a few years when he was with the Ravens, and the kind of intensity Lewis played with it what he wants to see from his players.
“Cut it loose. Cut it loose,” Jackson said. ”I was around one of the greatest warriors in all of pro football in Ray Lewis. I sat with this gentleman many a times and talked about football. There’s no fear in anything.
“Sometimes, players get afraid to make a mistake. I don’t think in this game you can worry about that. You play. As I tell the defense, I got your back. Just like the offense, I got their back. Don’t worry about it. Cut loose and go play and fly around and play football the way football is meant to be played.”
*Bruce Campbell got in some snaps at right guard with the first- and second-team offenses. Cooper Carlisle received the majority of the reps with the starting unit and remains the projected starter.

577. WOrd Mr Brown.
Article mentioned how jumping way up to get Moss hepled mortage the Broncos, led to Shanny’s flight to Washington and the disasterous McDaniel debacle.
NOW if we canturn Moss into a pro bowler on top of that? LMAO! That’ed be a pretty aweseom up yours to Denver. They tried to make the kid a LB!?!
August 19th, 2011 at 2:33 pm
Kick azz steve!
August 19th, 2011 at 2:38 pm
I think Edwards threw that pass.
“Rookie tight end Davis Ausberry turned in the catch of the game in the Raiders exhibition contest against the Cardinals, when he snared a Kyle Boller pass and had the presence of mind to get both feet in the end zone before he went out of bounds”
August 19th, 2011 at 2:39 pm
we have to carry boss meyers and ausberry, which receiver gets the boot? nick miller? he might be the next wes welker!

Rough day at work today. This high school kid was being a total douche because I forgot his potato wedges. I slapped that b*tch upsides the head. Luckily my manager wasn’t there to see it. Its all good, though. Gonna kick back with some bzies some booze and the Raiders.
August 19th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Hagan & Jackson should replace N Miller & DHB/Murphy <——pick one

Mistic, you’re right. Good little read on Jarvis.
———————–
Q: What is your role, get the quarterback?
A: That’s definitely what I am going to do. That’s how I got in the league and I am fitting to work my craft. I have a huge chip on my shoulder. I definitely didn’t like the way the first part of my career went, and
I am just glad to have a second chance with coaches that believe in me.
I know I won’t fail.
Q: Why did you and Waufle click?
A: He is honest with you, and he don’t have it all. I think that’s what you need as D-line, because we’re all crazy guys. I don’t have it all. Me and Waufle click well, and he is a hell of a coach. He turns you loose and he gets guys in and out on Sundays, and I love that. It’s exciting.
I’m going to play my butt off for him and never quit.
August 19th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
I might have to re-watch this next game maybe 3 or 4 times.
August 19th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
Moss is a natural edge rusher he has what every team in football is looking for. The ability to hunt down the QB, he is explosive off the edge. Long strong arms and great hands. It’s hard to block a kid with arms like his because you cannot get your hands on him before he gets his on you. The player who takes the punch haas the tougher time trying to win. Moss has the ability to punch first almost everytime because of his reach. It’s no different than boxing, reach makes all the difference in the world.

August 19th, 2011 at 3:00 pm
Starting WRs
1.Jacoby Ford
2.Chaz Schilens/Louis Murphy
(whichever is healthy that week)
3.DHB
4.D.Moore
August 19th, 2011 at 3:01 pm
Raiders DLine > strength of the team!
Houston Kelley Seymour Shaughnessy
backups: Henderson (in great shape), Moss, Bryant, Scott, I can see Hill or even Crumbie making it as we just might need to move Scott to LB as we are just not that deep at LB.
August 19th, 2011 at 3:03 pm
Mr. Heyward-Bey will have over 50 catches, 800 yds, and 7 TDs.
I see the same numbers for Mr. Ford & Mr. Moore, NFL’s rookie of the year!
August 19th, 2011 at 3:03 pm
Who would have guessed that Wiz 2.0 would not be able to start over Satele.
August 19th, 2011 at 3:05 pm
I do not see both Chaz & Louis holding down a roster spot injured, when we have Hagan, Jackson, and Nick healthy; and you know Al is working those phones.
August 19th, 2011 at 3:05 pm
Sounds like he is starting over Loper though.
August 19th, 2011 at 3:07 pm
Vehldeer Wiz Satele Carlisle Barksdale
backups: Campbell, Heyer, Barnes, Loper, Schuening, Lamaak, Parsons, Wand
Raiders are deep, they will be trading one of these guys, too many teams need OL help.
August 19th, 2011 at 3:10 pm
Why would anyone trade when they know we have to cut some of these guys.This isn’t baseball or basketball where trades are common place.
August 19th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Barksdale might end up being the superior pick over Wiz 2.0. I’m still sorry we passed on Marcus Cannon in the drft. He might end up being a Pro Bowl quality Guard.
August 19th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
I’m beginning to feel a little better. It’s been a rough day. First I had diarrhea at 3 in the morning. Then I had to deal with b*tch ass customers at KFC. Ready to get my drink on now. Raiders gonna dominate the whiners.
August 19th, 2011 at 3:12 pm
I said it when we drafted him that Satele would be hard to beat out. Because he’s a savvy vet playing C is about understanding nuances of line play and making your unit as functional as possible. Last year Wiz played OG not C coming in fresh would be hard without a OTA’s and minicamps. Satele is NOT at all a bad C in fact he’s pretty damn good.
August 19th, 2011 at 3:15 pm
Would really like to know if BCampbell is for real and if so, where will he be playing – RG or RT? Is he starter material yet? All questions for Steve Corkran. Please get us some real answers.

Anybody have a guess on the Mike Mitchell injury? Maybe neck? I wonder if it is a career ending type situation. However, his play was going to end his career soon enough.

i really hope we don’t have veldheer, wiz, and barksdale on the line at once. 2 rookies and and a 2nd year guy? they need to be worked in slowly, maybe take a year to learn. and as for b.campbell, he didn’t even play last year. he wasn’t dominant in college. let’s just hope he gets some playing time and takes steps toward being a quality player. i would rather see loper, carlisle, and barnes until the younger guys are really ready and knocking down the door. i’m ok w/ satele losing his spot b/c he’s not that good. just watch him in games.

I think in the back half of the season the O-line will have a few changes. Until then the Raiders kind of need some of the mediocre vets to get things started.

Got a HUGE Reggae Party Boat cruise set for tonight and I’m going to be short a couple of obedient shrimp cocktail servants.
I gotta hit the road to get the PARTYDUDE 8000 oiled up, pick up another carton of Magnums and do a test run on the Van Halen laser show I’ve got planned for midnight.
That’s when the ladies go for a dip in the Newport Bay and the Simply Red cover band cranks up their jams reggae style.

I just hope Loper, Coops and Barnes can hold thier own until the young gang can step up.
August 19th, 2011 at 4:10 pm
well, loper isn’t that bad. he did okay for gallery. i’m hoping wiz, barksdale, and b.campbell eventually get in there and excel but rookies will struggle and vets know what they’re doing. loper was a journeyman but he’s been around and he’s ok. remember, this was the line that produced the #2 rushing game in the nfl last year. carlisle is solid. barnes has been around. we all want to see the young guys create a great line but better to make sure they’re ready before forcing them into it when we do have vets who can do an adequate hob. heyer is around too.

whoever starts on the line just dont let campbell get rocked from the blind side ,theres no telling how far that could set him back confidence whise .id rather have holding calls early on than a rattled QB.(YOU KNOW THE HOLDING AND P.I.

I don’t happen to agree that Loper is OK.He can’t be replaced soon enough for me,but I’m not at practice everyday so I really can’t say who is better and should replace him,if he should be replaced at all.But,he was replaced after the 1st series last week.That being said,at least today,he was working as the #1 LG.

i don’t know if it means anything but we probably have the biggest starting LB unit in the nfl. wimbley and groves are former DE’s and mcclain is huge. all around 260+. no 235 lb’s here. except, when it’s 3rd down and mike mitchell or jerome boyd come in, wimbley goes to end and groves leaves.

We’ll have 2,3,4,possibly 5 new guys(including the TE) on the line this year.It is hardly the same line that produced the #2 running attack last year.
************
coach says plug in the next guy and go .i think good teams can do that i.e. new england .pitts.colts year in and year out ,i think we fall in that group as well
August 19th, 2011 at 4:31 pm
i’d say it was part scheme but the players do the blocking. loper was and unexpected surprise to fill in for gallery but he did fine. he’s not great but he doesn’t hurt us. he doesn’t dominate but he doesn’t get beat that much either. actually langston walker was a pretty good run blocker but the guys we have should be fine there too and probably quicker in pass protection. the point is, veldheer is a player on the rise but still not a guy who’s seen it all and can help the RG. if anything, he needs someone there who can help him. wiz has struggled to the point that they brought back satele, who they didn’t plan on having. barksdale was not great at lsu. and campbell didn’t even see the field last year. the point is, they are still developing. throwing 3 rookies in there w/ veldheer would be a bad idea.
August 19th, 2011 at 4:33 pm
RFL,at the 1st practice after the last game(Sunday),Heyer was practicing with the #1s at RT.Then he got injured.However,everyday it seems the first team line is different,so who really knows what the coaches are thinking.

I’m not too sure of that. If Wiz doesn’t cut it at C. the Raiders would have to rely on Vehldeer. I just don’t see that happening and glad to see Satele re-signed.

i don’t know if it means anything but we probably have the biggest starting LB unit in the nfl. wimbley and groves are former DE’s and mcclain is huge. all around 260+. no 235 lb’s
**************************
i hope that doesnt make them slow
****************************
well, maybe. groves definitely didn’t do much last year but he has shown signs of life so far this year. he’s really only a 2-down player b/c he comes out on 3rd down. wimbley was only ok against the run. he was always seen as a tweener for this reason. of course, on 3rd down, he becomes a lineman. mcclain needs to play more instinctive, b/c he goes to the ball pretty well when he sees the play and he blows plays up. but he can’t stand and watch.
basically, they are not sideline to sideline backers. they are strong at the point of attack, meaning they can handle blockers coming at them and won’t get pushed back, but can they see the ball and go get it quickly? that’s the question.
August 19th, 2011 at 4:38 pm

Remember how WizI “cleaned up the pile”? I saw WizII do that on his first play last week.
I hope Coach Wiz is teaching that.
August 19th, 2011 at 4:41 pm
Satele was one of the first re-signings after the lockout ended. At that point full team drills hadn’t even started, if I remember correctly. Wiz was the only C on the roster at that point. Don’t think the Satele re-signing had anything to do with Wiz “struggling” – and thus far, none of the writers who have observed practice have mentioned anything about Wiz struggling. Maybe on Day 1 when he was matched up in one-on-one drills with Henderson, but since then I’ve heard nothing of the sort.
August 19th, 2011 at 4:42 pm

August 19th, 2011 at 4:43 pm
wiz definitely was struggling. it was reported during the first week or two. he may be getting better but they reacted by going and getting satele. i’m not against having satele around b/c he can either start or be a backup. but wiz was not handling the big guys like john henderson well. they were blowing him off the line. of course, satele gets blown back too.
the line is almost certainly going to start as: veldheer, loper, satele, carlisle, barnes. heyer could displace loper. by basically, that’s last year’s line w/ barnes replacing walker. and that’s ok. it lets wiz, barks, and camp get more practice and ease in when they actually are ready to play better than the vets.
August 19th, 2011 at 4:43 pm

Robert Gallery could be out for Raiders this weekend
Posted by NBC Sports on September 15, 2010, 9:38 PM EDT
The Raiders and Rams are preparing for this week’s “We really better not lose to this team” Bowl and Oakland may not be at full strength.
The Raiders signed an offensive lineman on Wednesday, and Raiders coach Tom Cable indicated that guard Robert Gallery’s hamstring strain could be significant.

So, it looks like Gallery went out before the Rams game. The Raiders went 2-2 over those 4 games……….

The Raiders also had a very fast RB catching a few passes named Napoleon Kaufman.
That was probably the Raiders fastest Offense.
Our DB’s wernt slow either.
August 19th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
DHB is a lock; he is a first round pick> this is his third season, he’s already been paid, he is on the roster;
Ford is on the roster, Raiders best & toughest WR
Moore is also a lock he has performed in camp and preseason, no way do the Raiders take a chance on him clearing waivers
—————-
Chaz solid WR, but injuries could keep him off the roster this season
Murphy Raiders have seen his ceiling, he drops as many as DHB, pouts on the sideline when his non-catch catch is reversed on instant relplay, he is injured
Hagan, new to the team, but is proving the Raiders need a veteran presence within the WR corp
Nick, practices and plays hard, returns kicks may not be practice squad eligible, could pass waivers though to be resigned in the future
Bodiford & Jackson could be resigned in the future, no fear of losing either one in FA

Maybe he is the best option at LG. Or maybe it is Davis’ only mandate this training camp.

Mum, I agree. They drafted him as the center of the future. I think he will excel eventually. Let him develop.
August 19th, 2011 at 6:43 pm
Wiz 2 obliterated some defenders in the last game.
August 19th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
Because like Carlisle Lil Wiz is what they call a technician he learns really fast has a great grasp on the nuances of G and can play at that position with less responsibility than at C.
August 19th, 2011 at 6:51 pm
I just hope he earns his spot as a starter, not just because he is a Wiz.
So it looks like we will still need a LG or C in next years draft.
We need to get a second round pick somehow. Seems most top C/G are taken in the high 2nd.
Any names yet to look for at the NCAA level?
August 19th, 2011 at 6:51 pm
Wiz is biult more along the lines of a C and eventually will be the C for this team but right now why play him in that spot whne you don’t have to if he’s not quite ready.
August 19th, 2011 at 6:53 pm
They guy I like by far as a potential stud at C is Mike Brewster at OSU. If by some chance we have that opportunity and feel we could still get better there he’s hands down my pick.
August 19th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
Wiz needs to work on his pass blocking at Center. Streghten his legs maybe. Got knocked off his feet to often. Could’ve been a technique thing.
Heyer was a beast in run blocking but needs works pass blocking at LG.
Barksdale held his own at RT. Truthfully, he and Barnes look like the same player at this point. No great advantage by either (which may be good news for Barksdale that he already matches the talent of a vet).
Can’t wait to see Campbell. Carlisle better watch out. Campbell’s injured really hurt him. He may have had a shot at RT, but its likely too late now.

Wiz is pretty good at run blocking from Center. Plays with a mean streak. Really finishes blocks/plays. Tends to get an extra punch or hit in there.
August 19th, 2011 at 7:07 pm

Yeah, and by then his contract will be up and he will want LT money to stay.
Sorry folks, just a little peeved about how the business side of football works.

If Veldheer wiz Campbell and Barksdale are all legit starters anytime soon, LOOK OUT NFL the Raiders truly are building a Bully.
August 19th, 2011 at 7:31 pm
Of course, there were reports of Wiz being driven 5 yards backwards, too.
August 19th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
Not a mention of DHB again. What is up with that.
These are NOT your fathers Raiders
August 19th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
Who drove Wiz 5 yards?
That has me a little worried about the lead in his pants, I never seem him in person, but I was told he us really only 6′2″ 290#’s

Mario Henderson had more ability he just wasn’t mean enough if Mario had Veldheers nasty he would be allpro.
August 19th, 2011 at 7:57 pm
Wiz, compared to most Raider linemen, is not powerful. It’s not complicated.
And yes, most 315 lb linemen are stronger than 290 lbers.
August 19th, 2011 at 7:58 pm
Well that’s fine man I’m just saying there aint nothing you can do about something until it’s time to do it. You’re gonna die a young man if you keep that up.
August 19th, 2011 at 7:58 pm
In Steve Wiz day 6′4″ 305 was quite big! And he had a very rare skill set, and mentality to go along with it!
August 19th, 2011 at 8:00 pm
Wiz aint 290 you smoking somethin? you can look at him and tell he’s bigger than that he’s easily 305-315 he just needsthe same thing Veldheer did an offseason after his rookie season to change his body.
August 19th, 2011 at 8:01 pm
So it’s a lack of “nastiness” that gets you beat off the line, or makes you not quick enough to defend spin moves, or causes you to have to hold too often.
Got it.
Silly me thought it was a simple lack of skill.

Truth – D-line men & LB were smaller in comparison. Think about it, in Upshaw & Shell’s day they were both All pros @ 6′4″ and 280 lbs tops. The D linemen in those days were 240- 265 lbs. Now, everybody on the lines are 6′6″ & up and 300 lbs and up and all run very fast 40’s. Today’s players are much better athletes. The are better physical specimens and they’ve had much improved training in H.S. & college IMO.

Sounds as though JHenderson may have converted from a stopgap player to a force. Let’s hope so. Wasn’t sure how much gas he had left in the tank. He’s 32 YO with 10 years under his belt. Hopefully he’ll be able to make a contribution for another year or two.

I posed this thought a couple of days ago but crazier things have happened in the past.
• Campbell, Bruce, G, 6-6, 315, 23, Maryland:
COLLEGE: Played in 27 games with 17 starts in three seasons at Maryland…Registered 11 touchdown-resulting blocks…Started nine games at left tackle as a junior, battling injuries throughout the first half of the schedule…Closed out the season with 68 knockdowns/key blocks and five touchdown-resulting blocks…Played in all 13 games as a sophomore, moving into the starting lineup at left tackle against Wake Forest and staying there for the final seven contests…Part of an offensive line that enabled Da’Rel Scott (1,133 yards) to become the seventh Maryland back, and first since Chris Downs in 2002, to gain more than 1,000 rushing yards in a season…Line also enabled QB Chris Turner to throw for 2,516 yards, the seventh-highest single-season total in program history…In first start of the season, earned Atlantic Coast Conference Lineman of the Week honors for performance against Wake Forest…Finished the season with 48 knockdowns, six touchdown-resulting blocks and two downfield blocks, as Maryland ranked 61st in the nation in rushing (144.0 ypg), 68th in total offense (350.7 ypg) and tied for 79th in quarterback sacks allowed (2.2 spg)…Saw action in the Villanova, North Carolina, Boston College and Florida State games as a reserve offensive tackle and earned his first career start on the left side vs. Clemson…One of three true freshmen to see playing time for the Terps during the season.
Attended Hyde Leadership (Hamden, Conn.) School, earning four letters and never missing a game during his career…Competed as a defensive end and took on added duties as an offensive tackle during his final two seasons…
My point being he has some experience as a defensive player. His size & strength fits nicely as a DT. He could easily compete as a run stuffing DT. Where is he more valuable to us, as a guard or as a DT? We can find guards almost everywhere. Finding a unique DT is another thing altogether. Is he definitely an offensive player or should he be considered on the defensive side of the ball?
It certainly worth thinking about it. Especially, if our guard needs are already addressed.
August 19th, 2011 at 8:34 pm
Son Wiz was hands down the best player on that line, stronger maybe not better.
August 19th, 2011 at 8:35 pm
Lol at Middelton playing at 380, come on guy this ain’t the tree house.
And Big Linc did not play at 370
August 19th, 2011 at 8:36 pm
JB it’s too easy to find a DT who can play why put this kid somewhere unless he has the mentality to get it done. I’m not dismissing the chance he can I’m just syaing I prefer to get the Oline straight first.
August 19th, 2011 at 8:37 pm

August 19th, 2011 at 8:40 pm
Big Linc was in the best shape of his entire career when he was here. Lincoln stands right at 6′8″ and he was carrying 350-70 the entire time he was here. It just was how much he ate that day as to where he was in the 350+ and BRobb was at 340 when we played the SB.
Frank Middleton if you remember him was all gut and butt Frank at 6′3 or better was easily 370.

The nice thing about having season ticket holders in the low 20K’s is that if you see better seat(s), the likelihood is that the Raiders will let you switch. I got my new seats in the Club section for this year. At the game I noticed that there were 2 seats one row away at the top of the stairs that were unoccupied. I moved there and they were great – plenty of legroom (nobody in front of you) and they backed up against the cement wall. The wall provided great back support and the physical location was well sheltered from the cold, wind & rain (if needed). I called my Raider rep the next day and he gladly swapped my original ticket location for the new seats I wanted. Great customer service!

August 19th, 2011 at 10:58 pm
hue anointed wiz the starting C after the draft. after seeing him get knocked around in the first couple practices, they resigned satele and hue started backpedaling, saying he only said wiz was the starter b/c he was the only C on the team. cmon. no coach says that if he doesn’t mean it. he was worried about having get manhandled. at G, he will have to go get LB’s, not have a huge NT over him.
as for loper, i liked gallery. but he was only good, not great. last year, first i was surprised when someone named daniel loper, who i had never heard of, made the team. then i was shocked when he was the starter when gallery was hurt. but when i watched him, he did ok. it’s not b/c i wish it was true or b/c i don’t like gallery. it’s just the truth. he handled himself fine. he’s not great but he’s not bad either. it will be nice when we have someone replace him and carlislie, and barnes, b/c that will mean we have really good players. but right now, those guys are pretty solid and the untested rookies, and campbell too, are green. i will be very worried with multiple guys like that on the line. veldheer is still growing too.

i have to say i’m a little concerned about the run defense too. i do think seymour and kelly are excellent. kelly makes a ton of tackles for a DT. houston and shaugnessy are stars on the rise. i really think the front 4 are going to be outstanding. it’s the LB’s i worry about. they’re big but…i don’t know. wimbley and groves are basically tweeners. i’m hoping that in their 2nd year as LB’s they get better at seeing the ball and going to it. groves showed a little improvement in last week. wimbley…we’ll see. and i’m not necessarily on the mcclain bandwagon. i liked his college highlights when he went straight to the ball and used his size and power to wreck plays. but he wasn’t that instinctive last year. maybe he’ll grow in his 2nd year. but i also have a little suspicion about him being a guy who likes to beat up on the little guys but doesn’t man up against the bigger guys. that’s a mental/character flaw and we’ll see if it’s true.

Thomas Howard dud that, and you see where he is. Just sayin.
August 20th, 2011 at 12:40 am
Came in late and reading some of these postings.
Priesttj #212…You mentioned Lincoln Kennedy and we all loved the dude when he played. He’s now on the radio @ 57AM in LA on weekends and such. On the “negative” side, he had a horrible Super Bowl against Tampa, as he couldn’t stop the defensive end (can’t remember his name) and that DE must have sacked Gannon 4 or 5 times and forced many hurries, etc. Lincoln was too big and too slow when it counted.
Barrett Robins: his name should never be mentioned unless it’s to say something “negative.” He put getting loaded in Tijuana, Mexico, and getting laid, the night before the Super Bowl as being more important
and he cost us big time. Our offensive line wasn’t the same and he’s partly responsible for us losing. The biggest blame goes to Al Davis who traded John Gruden, who came back to beat us down big time in that SB.
August 20th, 2011 at 2:06 am
thomas howard played like a puppy–scared when everyone was coming at him and off racing after the ball when it was going away, forgetting to stay home and guard the backside. he sucked.
August 20th, 2011 at 2:22 am
forget about the secondary, o-line, and wr’s. here’s what should scare raiders fans: last year’s nfl leader in tackles was jerod mayo w/ 175. there were were 41 players who had 100 or more tackles, including tyvon branch. michael huff had 94. our LB’s? mcclain w/ 85. wimbley w/ 58. groves w/ 40. tommy kelly had more tackles than wimbley and groves! our #3 safety, mike mitchell had moe than groves. i mea, yes, wimbley goes to DL on 3rd downs and groves comes out altogether, but cmon. i’ll give mcclain the benefit of the doubt b/c he was a rookie, reacting a step slow b/c of the speed of the game. and wimbley and groves were really playing LB for the first time fulltime. but if the LB’s don’t step it up, the run defense will be garbage again.
August 20th, 2011 at 2:23 am
and why did we not bring back ricky brown again?
August 20th, 2011 at 2:29 am
sam williams played in 16 games and had 11 tackles. he’s really that valuable on ST’s? how much did stevie brown play compared to groves? and he had 30 tackles compared to groves’ 40.
August 20th, 2011 at 4:23 am
Rob, If you want a LB with good looking stats on paper, we could put Morrison back at MLB! I guarantee he would have over your magic 100 tackles per year.

I didn’t say he was bad. I think he can help this team as an OLB. He tackles well in open field, and he is great in coverage. Just doesn’t shed blockers well. Tutupa as well may be worth it.
August 20th, 2011 at 4:51 am
One thing u believe is our 53 are not all on the roster right now. There will be movement by pre sea week 3 and continue through week reg sea week 3. A product of no solum FA period.

August 20th, 2011 at 7:30 am
I posted a few days ago about my disappointment that the Ravens, not the Raiders, traded a 4th rounder for this guy last week. I called for us to try and get him from the Bills a couple of years ago. He’s not a household name because he played in Buffalo, but he is most definitely a player.
I know we have a whole stable of young wideouts, but as I have been saying for two years now, not one of them has shown the ability to be a number one or be clutch in critical situations. Maybe Al feels differently about the current group’s potential to get there, but this guy already is, and we missed him.

You should have picked the skins this year instead of last. Hightower looks good and that is the rats specialty. I always expected Tim to do better in AZ then he did.
He may be a big sleeper this year
August 20th, 2011 at 7:38 am
What up Plunk! Just checking in before work. Really looking forward to tonights game!
GO RAIDERS!
August 20th, 2011 at 7:48 am
Haley keeps making enemies. Kansas Chitty will self destruct this year.
If Corks blog had a list I would make the Raiders (who else) in the AFC and the deadskins in the semi pro league to be my most improved pics.
As far as lower expectations I expect the squaws in the AFC and the beagles in the semi pro league

plunkethead u know where i can watch game online?
August 20th, 2011 at 8:35 am
My experiance is it is not worth it totry to catch one of those feeds. They go in and out and everyting a play is about to be made they freeze.
But closer to game time there will be lots of links to try to watch it.
I just listen to papa joe over the internet and I “watch” the game at CBS (they dont freeze up like nfl .con) You can keep track of the stats.
The only game I ever “watched” on the net was where some guy had his webcam on the TV and it worked real well but that rarely happens
Try goggling watch NFL games for free and I bet you get lots of hits but they freeze up at the worse times
August 20th, 2011 at 8:38 am
If you have the nfl network on the one eyed hypnotist they switch back and forth between games showing plays so between the three you can watch it somewhat = Papa joe on the radio – cbs for stats and ball movement and nfl tv for important plays and usually as they happen
August 20th, 2011 at 8:40 am
thanks for the info plunk i know it comes in crappy but i want 2 sit back wit some bruskis and my raiders on a saturday night:)whats the website to listen to papa joe lol&do you watch live at cbs.com
August 20th, 2011 at 8:42 am
y u up so early on a sat? couldnt sleep thinkin about game day lol
August 20th, 2011 at 8:45 am
It would probaly interfer with ticket sales but people should be able to follow their favorite team at a decent price especially if you are over 200 miles away
I think they would make tons of money if they let us purchase single games whenever we want.
Hopefully some of the games would be on regular TV and I clould purchase the others at ten bucks a pop of under
instead of purchasing all the games (its a pain in the butt trying to keep with 6 or 8 games.
August 20th, 2011 at 8:47 am
i think its so stupid that i pay 300$ for sunday ticket and i cant even get the preseason games.grrrrrrrrrrrr
August 20th, 2011 at 8:54 am

I will try just the links without hyper. You will have to tighten them up

the raiders were always the home for wayword players .who was the best free agent ever to sign with the raiders .(i mean best for raiders not their former team)
***************************************
Many come to Mind:
• Rich Gannon
• Ted Hendricks
• Lyle Alzedo
• Mike Haynes
• Billy Cannon
• Charlie Garner
• Jim Plunkett
to mention a few.

mr davis could build a team with free agents .
now hes doing it with the draft.
have faith al davis is the original raider .
to all the trolls you cant fake being a raider fan
its something your born with .
you cant come in here and pretend to be a fan ,because we (a real raider fan)can tell who you are ,it shows you cant hide.your either born with it or your not ,sorry .
so go play somewhere else
dont you agree dvprick

Listen up bonehead Al syncophants:
1. I’m a die hard Raider fan since 1970. Rejected my hometown Browns. Went to USC to watch them play in the 1980s.
2. I long for the day when the Old Creeper relinquishes control of this team.
3. He’ll never get close to another Super Bowl as long as he lives.
So dig on that.
August 20th, 2011 at 8:59 am
I got the games for “free” last year because I switched from dish to direct with the intention of going to a cheap program after the games.
There was just one problem, They dont have a decent 50 dollar program. They are all over 80.
Anyway I recently claimed poverty and they reduced my bill by about 20 bucks so I am gonna call them up with a sob story and see if they will give me a reach around because I REALLY want to watch the RAIDERS all year
Best year ever!!
August 20th, 2011 at 9:02 am
I dont care if we win or lose for preseason i just want to see how our first strings will do. Hopefully they play more for defense. To be honest im glad we got Huff back because our safety situation is hectic. Huff just need to work on his tackling other than that we good. And we need cj or dvd to step up. No one will replace nnam we get it even huff said no one will or is trying to. We just need some one who can hold their own. Routt can hold his own 39.4% is good being thrown in his direction 99 times (more than nnamdi) and nnam will be treated the same way in philly noobe will throw his way. But other than that this team will go far this year i believe i dont fraud or troll like most do. Im always positive about the raiders i love this team and would never want them to fail thats just stupid and not being a real fan
August 20th, 2011 at 9:03 am
lol plunk if u lived in rhode island id let u come over and wach all the games.theres usually sports bars that show raider games on sunday.none in your area?
August 20th, 2011 at 9:05 am
The Raider game is always on NFL network on tape delay. It’s on Sunday night.
August 20th, 2011 at 9:05 am
Man, everybody hates Al. Looking forward to a Raider win- the Al haters usually go silent for a bit after that. Funny how these “Raider Fans” can’t find anything worth posting about after a Raider win.
August 20th, 2011 at 9:06 am
The Jets with all their money and press have been to one SB in 45? years
Snyder has spent hundreds of millions on coaches and players and has not sniffed the SB
The Cowboys? hahahahah dont make me laugh all that money and BS. all hat, no cattle.
And those are big markets. Too bad there are 31 other teams doing everything possible to get to the SB. WE would be there every year
I for one am very thankful for Al. He loves the Raiders and made us what we are today. It will be a very sad day in the Plunketthead house when Al leaves to play football in the Heavens

I for one expect Oakland to completely destroy SF in the first half. They must, because like all other teams in the NFL, they have had the same amount of time to get ready. The first half is going to be very indicative of what we’ll see this season. Need to rip apart the niners defense and stuff the niners offense.
