Raiders sign two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Lito Sheppard
By Jon Becker
Friday, August 26th, 2011 at 10:13 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders just announced that they’ve signed former Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings cornerback Lito Sheppard to a free-agent contract.
Here’s the short story we’ve just posted online. Jerry will update this with more details and reaction from Napa.
NAPA — The Raiders announced the free-agent signing of two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Lito Sheppard Friday morning.
Sheppard, a 30-year-old former first-round pick of Philadelphia, is expected to be at Raiders practice in Napa Friday. He spent the 2010 season with the Minnesota Vikings and was an unrestricted free agent.
Sheppard should provide some stability to the Raiders’ cornerback corps. Projected starter Chris Johnson recently underwent an undisclosed surgery but the Raiders say he should be ready for the opener at Denver. Rookie DeMarcus Van Dyke has missed the last two practices with an undisclosed injury.

Good signing. A veteran presenceto shore up the secondary until the young DBs are ready.

Hey Ya’ll why don’t ya head over to ESPN SPORTSNATION and vote for a couple of are boys Terrell Pryor and Jacoby Ford, I think the Jacoby Ford one is for the fastest player in Madden.

Brian the Genital, it’s pretty funny how irritated and worked up you get when I get props.
I know your mom said you had the build of an NFL corner or WR instead of a chick to make you feel better, but that’s no reason to be so sensitive and insecure.
Get a massage and a mani/pedi if it’ll calm your hormones, puss.
Brahs you know where to find me, I’m poolside or manning the Reggae Party Boat. These days I’m keeping 3 or 4 Magnums in my headband or gym sock, so I’m easy to spot.
This weekend is going to be TIGHT, I’ve got the UFC fight streaming live on the cruise, fresh Norwegian shrimp cocktails and the Peruvian Women’s Tanning Team crashing in the penthouse.

Yeah, but if Wimbley and Scott are on the field at the same time, who was MM34 in for?
Scott Kelly Seymour Wimbley
McClain MM34
CJ37 Routt Huff Branch
????
Are Houston and ShoNasty really going to come off the field on 3rd downs this year???
Those 2 guys are and should be ever down players.

August 26th, 2011 at 10:20 am
You only got 10 guys listed there J-Hill.
Gotta have:
Scott Seymour Henderson Shonasty
MM34 McClain Wimbley
Cj37 Routt Huff Branch
Let MM34 cover the TE.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:22 am
Better than depending on the young guys in this critical year.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:22 am
Lito!
August 26th, 2011 at 10:22 am
What bugs me about Groves, Scott, and Moss as WLB options is that they’re all natural defensive ends playing out of position. So’s Wimbley over on the strongside for that matter, but he showed he can handle that pretty well. None of the other 3 have. Can we have more than one natural linebacker starting as such please? Apparently not.

PA & Lowdown,
I get what you guys are saying. couldn’t agree more!
August 26th, 2011 at 10:22 am
I like it. Teams making the right moves to be a serious contender. Cant wait to see them in action on Sunday!
August 26th, 2011 at 10:23 am
The next Duane Starks? Hopefully this guy can at least make the team. We need some depth at corner. I am really worried about the corners. I think Routt is more than adequate, unlike most everyone else. I think the problem is with the rest of the corners, outside of Chris Johnson, who is ok when he plays man to man. Anything else he is asked to do, he is pretty lost. The young guys have shown me nothing so far. Very frustrating. This will help if Sheppard has anything left. Not great, but an decent pickup.
I think the team might be avoiding signing any higher profile free agents (tatupu) because of the “net loss” issue with the compensatory draft picks next year. Maybe they dont want to screw that up considering the best they can get is 2 late 3rd rounders from what I understand. That would be nice, considering the lack of 2nd-4th round picks next draft. We might not see any more substantial signings barring injury…
August 26th, 2011 at 10:24 am
Question….if this is a good signing then y wasn’t he picked up by someone else. What is the story there? I do agree we need more CB help!
August 26th, 2011 at 10:26 am
This would have been really good about . . . 4 years ago.
Not exactly a vote of confidence for Walter McFadden and friends…

But season is on and u agreed to show upp to coliseum yet u wont acknowledge it like the coward you are
August 26th, 2011 at 10:28 am
I would rather have Tatupo, but I hear he is asking for a long term big money deal. I just think our Run D is a bigger problem than our Pass D! I like the signing for veteran depth, but I think Huff could fill in if it got to there, who is gonna stop the run?

August 26th, 2011 at 10:29 am
I was down with this signing two years ago. Good veteran presence, though. Let’s see what he has left. Could even be a good situational player if he can’t handle playing man-to-man every snap.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:31 am

Seriously little dude, if you ever get up the nerve to show up at the Ritz (you know – the place you’ve been avoiding all year), I’m going to pour you a nice cool marg from the PARTYDUDE 8000 before I slap you around and embarrass you in front of the Peruvian National Tanning Team.

We have to consider the probability that at least one of the young CBs is not quite getting it.
Raiders having 4 young cornerbacks, two rookies and two 2nd year players is way to much inexperience for the cornerback position, especially with man to man coverage & the fact we had no OTA’s, etc…
We needed Mr. Lito Sheppard, I did not realize he was still available.
I wouldn’t give up on Mr. McFadden, simply put him on the practice squad, last years training camp he proved he has it, might just need a full set of OTAs and traing camp.

Lito & Pryor signings puts us at 91 on the roster, one over the traing camp limit.
You know we sign 9 more, we will have to have a “00.”

Wasn’t Lito a zone guy like Deangelo?
Anyways, lost track of him since he left Philly…hopefully he provides that vet presence that is needed. But yes…now a top dog run stuffer linebacker is def needed!

I may need to start going through the Wiki pages to see where guys are getting ready to sign…lol
August 26th, 2011 at 10:39 am
From a news story last Wendesday about the NYG having Brian Williams and Lito Sheppard in for a tryout: “The fact both players are here is an indication they’re willing to sign for the veteran minimum — as was Sheppard’s agent saying in an e-mail to all 32 teams his client would play for such a deal.”
http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2011/08/giants_work_out_veteran_corner_1.html
So hopefully the signing was indeed for the vet minimum. Sheppard has bounced around to a few teams the last few years, so if it much more than that it is a mistake.

Then hopefully my shrimp cocktail servant KrappyKell will be excited enough to do the Charleston right across the dance floor and into the Pacific Ocean.

Mr. Sheppard has Mr. Asomugha’s jersey #21, of course that belonged to Raider legend, Mr. Cliff Branch before.
Mr. Pryor has #6 (on Raiders’ oficial web site).
August 26th, 2011 at 10:44 am
Lito Sheppard was probably cheap.
good job signing a veteran at the position, but I’m not convinced he’ll beat out Ware, McFadden, Chekwa, DVD, SMoore, Porter, etc
August 26th, 2011 at 10:45 am
Can Mr.Sheppard be that guy? Well, he probably won’t go on Sunday, but another face to see next week up North!

LB depth still VERY necessary. I’d love to see the Raiders make a trade, but I doubt that’ll happen.

NYGiants are deep at LB, thin at DB; Raiders should be talking to them.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:50 am
Al will grab the biggest, fastest LB on the waiver wire.
Sam Williams may start at MLB on Sunday.

With the new rookie wage scale, you can get a kings ransom for early first rounders since teams no longer have to worry about 80 million dollar busts. We could potentially trade our #1 for 4 picks next year. I would be happy with that
August 26th, 2011 at 10:52 am
Lito used to be a decent player. I remember him enforcing like missle mike. Now, he’s a body. But he does bring some experience. It’ll be interesting if he gets any PT against Drew Brees this weekend.
The bigger issue is Al has to pull the trigger on Lofa soon. We can’t go into the season with Q. Groves starting. The first 2 games are winnable, but we can’t play them with one arm tied behind us either.

If we let Drew Brees light us up big time like he did in preseason a couple years back….you all remember that we never did recover from that? Season went to pot after that. We just got to field a defense that keep the score respectable, or else the tabloid sports anchors will get a rise out of trashing Oakland again.
August 26th, 2011 at 10:56 am
The saving grace would be that Lito was playing hurt last year and thus, a step behind. A healthy Lito with fresh legs and mind might fit the bill.

No. We have CJ37, Routt, Huff & Branch as starters.
I would consider DVD, Ware, Mitchell & Brown locks behind them …
If we keep 6 CB’s I’m guessing Moore & Chekwa get in over Sheppard, McFadden & Porter.
If the injuries to CJ37 & Mitchell are more than just “nicks” , well that changes things

I’d keep Routt, CJ37, DVD, Ware, and S.Moore
Send Chewy and W.Mac to the PS
Let Lito play for CJ37 until he gets healthy.

LA to the Bay, the Broncos are the only team I hate to hell and if they went 0-16, I’d feel zero pity. I used to live in CO during the Elway years. It only inspired my hate. I don’t much care about the Chefs or chargers…they are a lot of empty talks and no rings.
————-
I feel you. I hate them all, but Denver the most. Their fans p;ss me off.
I have the most respect for KC, as they have the slight edge in our long rivalry.
I hate SD cause for the last 6 years or so, seems like most everybody has them going places and they get talked up a lot and never deliver.
Prior to that, I thought of them much the same as I did of Seattle (I’d like a win but don’t neccecarily want their team bus to flip over and land in a ditch filled with sh;t from an overflowed septic tank).

Sheppard signing brought the Raiders to 91 guys on the roster. Paul Guiterrez just reported on Twitter that they cut La Secla and waived/injured Pelc. That brings the roster to 89….another signing coming? Or just gonna roll with 89 guys til 1st cutdown day?

S&BPA…what happened to Pelc? I remember talk on here that he will be a beast…anyways, back down to 89! Maybe a LB signing?
August 26th, 2011 at 11:25 am
I remember when the Seahags were in our division. We straight owned them and they served themselves up like lambs. Some of the best Bo Jackson highlights came against Seattle. But the Shawn Alexander era was a tough one in that era. Now I wish they were still in our division. The NFC West is a joke.

Corkran says the extra roster spot is going to Terrelle Pryor…I thought he didn’t count against it until after week 5?
August 26th, 2011 at 11:26 am
I was high on Pelc; thought he was really gonna be a sleeper. Apparently, not good enough to crack the roster. Oh well, I would’ve never invested a first-round pick and millions of dollars for his services.

When I lived in Colorado, I had to put up with seeing Elway sell Chevy’s on TV every other commercial. That overbite made me want to punch my set.

PA,
he does while he’s eligible to take part in team activities. Weeks 1-5 (when the final 53 is decided) he won’t count until WK6

********
On his chat, he said that the 3 QB’s are safe and that they could carry 4 when Pryor comes on in week 6. I think he doesn’t count so it’s like we are really carrying 54.

I am quite positive you are not the only one. I still love to see him go on TV and whine and complain about “The Play” in the Cal/Stanford ‘82 game. “No way that play should’ve ever counted!” Shut up, crybaby!!!

Brian the Genital, you really expect anyone to believe a slender, feminine guy like yourself is tutoring a D1 point guard?
Anyway, we’re all enjoying the hilarious details of this super crazy party you had with some stiff from Missouri.

LMAO @ Denver fans talking up how they are going to get revenge in week 1.
Raiders aint having that. It doesn’t have to be a 59-14 score, but we got to win by at least 2 scores and send a message.
August 26th, 2011 at 11:33 am
That play….why shouldn’t it count? Wasn’t that the band play? Not the teams fault!

There is a possibility that CJ37 may not be back wk 1. You never know when it comes to injuries.

Nerds, I’m working on a few alterations to the PARTYBRO 8500 Mai Tai Maker for my massive Reggae Party / UFC Fight Cruise tomorrow.
When the Simply Red cover band starts jamming, it’s going to automatically spray fresh Mai Tai all over the crowd Javon Walker style. This is guaranteed to get the babes lubed up before I make my “entrance”, if you know what I mean.
Then hopefully my shrimp cocktail servant KrappyKell will be excited enough to do the Charleston right across the dance floor and into the Pacific Ocean.
That’s when I’ll start the Van Halen lazer light show.
