Raiders pre-practice notes from Alameda
By Steve Corkran
Tuesday, August 30th, 2011 at 10:52 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders now are in Alameda for the rest of the season. Their first full practice at the year-round facility begins in about 30 minutes.
Media access likely will be limited to a maximum of 30 minutes, or whenever the Raiders break into full-team drills, whichever comes first.
Therefore, it’s going to be more difficult to relay information on how players get hurt, which player is working with which unit, how many snaps a player is getting, etc.
*Today represents the first mandatory roster cuts for all NFL teams. Some teams already have announced their player moves, with all teams required to be at a maximum of 80 players by this afternoon.
I will send out a list of the players via Twitter from the practice field once access begins. The Raiders have until Saturday afternoon to pare their roster to 53. That gives coach Hue Jackson two more practices and Friday night’s game to get a little longer look at the players on the bubble.
*Jackson sounds as if he has settled upon a starting offensive line of Jared Veldheer, Stefen Wisniewski, Samson Satele, Cooper Carlisle and Khalif Barnes.
Not sure why he is hesitant to go public with it, other than the fact he might want to see if a player gets injured this week or he isn’t sure whether Bruce Campbell is a better option at right guard, and Stephon Heyer or Joseph Barksdale is a better candidate to play right offensive tackle.
We’ll see if we can glean more information on that topic today.
*Should be interesting to see what kind of interaction there is Friday night between former Raiders coach Tom Cable and the Raiders players and coaches.
Cable now is the Seattle Seahawks offensive line coach. Most of the players from last year’s team went on the record in favor of his return. In the end, managing general partner Al Davis opted to promote Jackson from offensive coordinator.
The Seahawks game also gives former Raiders guard Robert Gallery and tight end Zach Miller an opportunity to catch up with players and coaches from the team they began their NFL careers with. Both signed with the Seahawks during the offseason.

This first round of cuts are going to be zero in the surprise department. The second round will be much more interesting though.
I really wonder if the great white Mullett is going to be cut this time. Personally I see not a single reason to keep him over someone like Hagan. Miller ain’t shown me jack squat in 2-3 years.
Of course neither has ‘Glass’ but we all know his upside is better than Millhairs…we have seen what Millhair’s got, and frankly it ain’t a whole lot.
Gonna be a LONG year for our secondary.

Schilens jogged off the field without a limp on the hit he got injured on. WTF happened next? Oh well, the WR unit is the least of my concerns regarding the team.

Remember when Nap Harris was a rook, he had Romo and I believe Will Thomas on his side, made him look good. Then without them he was out of the league in no time.
Not saying that about Rolando, but dude needs help.

G123,
Damola Adeniji
Shaun Bodiford
Chad Jackson
Edward McGee
Nick Miller
these guys will be 2nd cuts when we get down to the finalized 53 man roster
Adeniji & McGee likely headed to the practice squad.
Chaz is a lock according to Steve & Jerry. The only way he doesn’t make it is by injury. If he’s got more than just a “nick” it’s either Injured Reserve or injury settlement. This is a contract year for him, too. Unrestricted FA next offseason and reports in camp were that he’s by far our #1 WR most polished and poised for a great season. Hard to chop somebody like that only making less than 700k
August 30th, 2011 at 11:16 am
I was hoping B. Campbell would compete in his second year. How many years for an O-lineman to work into the rotation before they are considered a bust?

According to BCZ, 3rd rounders can’t be considered “busts” – that list includes Andrew Walter, Sam Williams, Quinten Moses & Mario Henderson!

I’d rather sign a LB that’s on the chopping block, than one thats not in game shape.
August 30th, 2011 at 11:19 am
Regarding the Defense: For the last 10 years head coaches have addressed the defensive problems as minor, easily solvable with minor tweaks.
For 10 years the D has had the same problems: can’t stop the run, gives up big plays, gets burned in 2 minute drills.
Enter a D-coord fired from a UFL team, and things look to get worse.
August 30th, 2011 at 11:20 am
Actually like the looks of that o-line. But I wouldnt mind seeing how Barkdale would look with the 1st unit. I’m sure Hue won’t hesitate to make changes if that right side gets off to a slow start.

Chaz Schilens is a rumor. His name never existed. His name shall never be spoken from here to eternity. So let it be written, so shall it be done.

From Romo and Willie Thomas to Wimbley and Groves, how deep has Al fallen?

::::::::::
Depends. If he is a first rnd pick, and he ain’t starting by year two… Thats pretty bad sign. If you are talking about a 4th rounder, they don’t have to ever be a full time starter to earn their draft status. Being a key backup and a good ST player is validation enough.
Now, if/when a 4th rnder becomes a starter, and excels he should be considered a steal, and great pick.
Campbell has proven to be neither yet.

How bad would be be getting trashed in the press if we would have drafted that workout warrior Vernon Gholston..wow..Dude is just horrible.
Tim Ryan on Moving the chains was talking about seeing him in camp and went back to Pat Kirwin to compare notes, and Kirwin said Tim looked like he just saw a “Ghost”…Tim went on to say that Vernon could be redirected around the QB on a pass rush by the LT with one HAND on dudes hip…’easily redirected with a hand to the hip…’
