Boss, Murphy and Mitchell still out; Hagan returns

By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, September 7th, 2011 at 7:52 pm in Oakland Raiders.

Wide receiver Derek Hagan returned to practice Wednesday, just as he promised he would. Apparently, the ding he suffered Sunday is better.

Who said you can’t unding a ding?

That leaves only receiver Louis Murphy, tight end Kevin Boss and safety Mike Mitchell as the only ones on the 53-man roster who aren’t able to practice.

There’s still time for Boss and Mitchell to return in time to get in some meaningful reps and get up to speed for the regular-season opener Monday night against the Denver Broncos.

Their status won’t be revealed until Thursday, when the Raiders are required to designate players probable, questionable, doubtful or out.

As of now, it appears as if Murphy will be declared out. Mitchell likley will be doubtful. Boss likely will be questionable. Just an educated guess on these.

*Recently re-signed safety Matt Giordano has switched from No. 49 to No. 27. You can take that as a sign that safety Stevie Brown isn’t in the Raiders plans for another go-round.

Brown was released Saturday, signed by the Carolina Panthers on Sunday and waived Wednesday.

*Nick Miller was the only one returning punts at practice tonight. That has been the case the past few practices.

Therefore, it’s logical to assume that Miller is going to be the punt returner against the Broncos.

If coach Hue Jackson opts for a change, Denarius Moore, Taiwan Jones and Jacoby Ford are the logical candidates to take over.

Jackson has said in the past that he is intrigued by the prospect of putting Ford back on punts, but only on occasion. Translation: If a game is tight, Ford might be thrown in to return a punt, with the thinking that the potential gain is worth the risk.

*Receiver Chaz Schilens is practicing for the third straight time. Once again, he looks as healthy as he has been since late last season.

It remains to be seen whether Jackson is confident enough in Schilens’ recovery from a leg injury to play him in a game. What’s more, does Schilens start Monday?

Jackson likely won’t divulge his starting receivers until Thursday night, though we will try to coax it out of him later tonight.

It’s interesting to note that Hagan isn’t even listed on the Raiders depth chart, while the six other receivers are listed.

That brings about the possibility of the Raiders not even activating Hagan for the Broncos game. Too early to get worked up over that one, though.

*The Raiders are practicing under the lights for the first time since 2009, when then-coach Tom Cable took the Raiders to the Coliseum for a night practice in advance of a Monday night game against the San Diego Chargers.

This marks the first time the Raiders have brought in portable lights to their Alameda complex since they relocated to Oakland in 1995.

    CBresnahan is DC by default. I’m sure AD was trying for someone else and it didn’t come to pass. I wish he had named almost anyone on staff other than CB. CB is our defensive Achilles heel this year. Hopefully Semour & company will just ignore him or educate him – whichever works best. It will be interesting to see how HuJack will deal with BC if he starts screwing up badly.

  4. PatchedUp Says:

    Total luck I got one first, much less 2 in a row.
    It’s an omen.
    I will witness the Raider Wrath first hand.

  5. EMRaiders Says:

    OAK 23 DEN 20

    Last minute 55 yd kick by Jano to win it. The usual stuff…

    This will be a good game though, Denver will come out thirsty for revenge and Oakland will come out trying to proof that last year was not a fluke.

    JB, I can tell you how the jackson/Bresnahan marriage will end. With Hue filing for a divorce only to have Chuck’s daddy (AL) point a shotgun at him and tell him to make it work.

  10. EMRaiders Says:

    I meant OAK 23 DEN 21. sorry about that, but thanks for bringing up my last night’s guess…

  11. JB Says:

    We need Boss, CJ & Hagan dressed and ready to go on Monday night. The first quarter will tell a lot about how the game will go. Oakland should be able overpower Denver with their running game. If that gets going early, it will be a long night for Denver. I hoping for a blow-out with Oakland winning by 21 points.

    I dont even have to rebut you because you lost all credibility when you said Robert Gallery, a player that has never sniffed a pro bowl and is oft injured, is a top 5 run blocker. Also teams that complete passes score faster, its fact. The average pass, I believe I read, was completed for 8 or 9 yards while the average run goes for less than 4. That’s more double the production. If a team is completing passes they are likely to move down the field faster because even a 60% passer is going to average more yards per play than a runner rattling off 4 ypc. Furthermore Khalif Barnes was a pretty good player in Jax, and a really good run blocker. John Clayton even wrote an article about how much of a coup it was when we got him.
    ______________________________________________________

    Severe…

    Barnes WAS NOT A COUP, if you think so you shouldnt talk about credibility.. He WAS NOT GOOD in JAX, no fans, no players regretted losing him..

    If you dont think Gallery is a top run blocker, not much I can do about, fact is he is. He struggles in pass-protection, but that wasnt the debate..

    I didnt say passes wasnt faster than runs, I said you were wrong to think the D went off the field because the opposition would just strike deep.. I said the would play 8yds passes and let the time pass..

    I said the D would often be on field for 12 snaps, thats 8 minutes that being scoreless, 3 or 7 points, towards our O for many 3′n’out series thats 2 minutes.. that will not make a top5 offense.. if you then add our D will tire, then the clock will be much more of an enemy..

    lastly I will say, Barnes should have been the first player cut, he should have been cut after the first season in oakland. Barnes kill drives, he is ridden with false starts..

  17. JB Says:

    I’m really surprised that Barnes is the starting ORT. I do think that he will be replaced by Heyer by the 4th game. It will be sooner if he starts incurring 5yd false start penalties.

    If Miller scores you are the man. But I would bet against you.

    Bold prediction:

    Denarius D’smoove Moore scores his 1st NFL TD against donkeys Monday night.

  24. anhdazman Says:

    On defense, I think Tyvon Branch is a very capable Safety. The only thing I’m concern about is that he’s not the ENFORCER type. Is Raider Nation seeing this too? There are times when Branch should light up some of these WRs, but he chooses not to?! I’m not talking about a cheap shot or anything dirty, but I’m talking about hits that will make receivers on the other team think about catching the ball the next time around. Is he worried about the NFL\Goodell Fines? Branch has to be more physical.

    Just fire your smoking some good if you think that

    Stevie Brown fall from grace? Stevie Brown was a motivational movie of the week story. A 7th round.pick that was cut and resigned .He had one Int in one pre season game and everyone for some reason over hyped him. He’s lucky to still be in the league —- Signed, Jon Condo

    Seem to me a few presser’s have passed bye since Hue Jack spoke the phrase “building Bullies blah blah”.

    I for one could not stand hearing that slogan, and am glad to be rid of it.

    Not sure about this “code black” either,

    under review.

  30. Slime Head and the Nasty Funk Says:

    Raiders is gonna be all right.

    Hue Jax and the pre season gang wuz nothin but a smoke screen to how they is now.

    Hue and Al are smarter than that. Only team in the NFL that don’t tip they hand.

    Oakland gonna lay a serious ass whoooopin on the broncos.

    DHB may start, but he won’t last. Hue gonna have the balls to sit him, yes he will. Hue knows.

    Big Daddy Al gonna turn all them haters out there into big fans, say it again, big fans.

    Al knows.

    You can put me down for:
    Oakland 45
    denver 0

    Hue is gonna unleash that bully, bank it. The bully will be on MNF baby, yes it will.

    Big Daddy Al done been around the block a few times, and he passin all that knowledge onto Hue.

    Raider D gonna be good in spite of Chucky B. They goona play like they got flames comin outta theys ass. Yes they is. You wait and see.

    I’m leavin in the mornin for that nasty mile high city, and it be silver and black all the way. I hear people put down Oakland, and all I think they never been to denver. Nasty smelly dirty place, thats why the Raiders go into their house and lay the wood on them. Cuz they are. denver is so rank they want to git whooped. they need it. they like it.

    Raiders gonna have the broncos bendin ova and they gonna stick it to them. denver wants to get stuck. they achin for it. broncos like takin it up the keester, they enjoy it.

    Its denver or bust baby, I’m on my way. I follow the Raiders a lot when I can and this season I can. I watched that game very close in that rabid seattle town. Hue was just keepin his hand close to his chest.

    Hue gonna unleash a fkng bully. if u a denver fan, it gonna be a ugly beatin. if u a Raider fan, it gonna be a beautiful thing. I am gonna be thrilled to see the Raiders beat the pants off denver in they own house. and those smelly bronco fans gonna hear it from me. Five years ago I had a sign but denver event staff took it from me. it said ‘denver go home, your trash is in the oven’

    I do not like the broncos, but think worse of the chargers. they down rite garbage. kc is rank but they gonna be weak.

    when I get back i’ll report on my trip. BTW, new poster here, love most u’all, some of u’all are not Raider fans.

    Bob (Dino arms) Gallery is/was a bust. NO ARGUEMENT, No getting around it.
    Drafted first round to play left tackle, could only must’r up a career as a “servicable” LG.
    Top five run blocking LG? Source or it didn’t happen, and your own words i think are he sucks at pass blocking.
    No wonder Soul Glow couldn’t stay up right last year.

    I was so happy to see this bust leave Oakland. Just seeing him warming up before games last year would make me furious.

    I want this win come Monday. Give it to me don’t take it away, can’t wait!

  72. severeraiderz Says:

    Lmn

    Where did I say I thought Barnes was good??? I pointed out an article that John Clayton wrote. I think he is an average player who does a good job in the run game and struggles against speed rushers. He has had mental mistakes in the pre-season, which is expected when making a position change that some linemen have compared to being asked to write with ur left hand after spending ur entire life using ur right.
    Lmao so Gallery is top 5 because you say so??? Ok buddy then Wiz II is the best LG in the league just cuz he is, its science lol. I was the biggest and remain the biggest critic of that pick. There were several OL I preferred in the 2nd, but so far he has looked very good in the pre, easily as good as top 5 Bob.
    When I comes to ur point about a team completing an 8 yard pass the letting time run down, what do u think an offense does after a 4 yard run, do u assume they go no huddle or something??? They run the same amount of time and are getting less yards on every play. Why do u think teams run when they want to chew up clock and close out a game??? Why do teams almost exclusively pass during the 2 minute offense. Also a good passing team will pass more and of course have some incompletions, thus stopping the clock. Come on man you can’t be both this naive aaannnd this stubborn.

  73. morilla Says:

    I think that defensive front is going to come out angry. I’m sure there are going to be some big plays by Denver, but I see those mfers bringing it on Monday night.

    Key to the offense will be the tackles. Keep those edges clear and clean.

  74. Blackmamba_20 Says:

    Veldheer is pretty decent in the run game, lets hope RUN DMC goes for a biggie like last year straight of the bat.. Orton crumbles under early pressure and Tim comes in by the half, Raiders Win big on opening night..

  81. raideredoutL.A. Says:

    Its gonna be a tough one, opener and rest of season, honestly the preseason did bring me kind of down.

    The defense really concerns me with the depth behind the starting corners, it isn’t great, DVD will be a trial by fire whenever CJ goes down. Joe Porter, Chekwa, man I thought they would of re-signed Lito by now… and thats not asking for much.

    LB’ers is another big ? McClain has to take a big leap to make up for Groves and Wimbs. I like Wimb as a pass rusher but dude is being paid as a top tier LB, expectations rise. Depth behind them isn’t great either.

    D-Line ok with me and so are the safeties.

    * You have to believe Huff will be playing alot of corner this yr. since we haven’t got anybody else. So who plays FS now, Chekwa, Branch, Mitchell, Gio??

    Boy oh boy, I’m anxious to see what happens Monday.

  82. 504 Raider Says:

    Recently re-signed safety Matt Giordano has switched from No. 49 to No. 27. You can take that as a sign that safety Stevie Brown isn’t in the Raiders plans for another go-round.
    Brown was released Saturday, signed by the Carolina Panthers on Sunday and waived Wednesday.

  110. Hagar the Horrible Says:

    We haven’t shown much in preseason, but lets hope that is was Hue unwillingness to show our stuff as the reason behind it.

    If you’re Denver and you’re game-planning against the Raiders, you have problems. You can’t “stack the box” inorder to stop the run because we have too much speed in our receivers and that could lead to a quick score.
    No, you have to play us straight up, at least to start.
    In that scenario, DMC is going to run right up their butt holes, and that what we need. A strong, successful, run game that scores and eats up the clock. Keep our defense rested and we’ll prevail.

    And, it won’t even look that close.

  114. raidertalk Says:

    The hate from the media against the Raiders has been palpable everywhere this season. More so than when we were coming off of losing seasons. From Al Michaels to Petros & Money they cannot stand the thought of the Raiders coming up this year.

  115. raidertalk Says:

    If we can get some momentum going into the home-opener against the Jets by being 2-0, then we have a chance to knock those hot dog stained white-pants off the GQ modela Sanchita.
    How dare he return to Oakland after making Jamarcus Hungry like that!

  116. raidertalk Says:

    Wat up late-nite crew

  117. RaiderRetribution Says:

    Raiders’ offense has some balance, between run and pass; though running the football is our strength. In fact we will lead the NFL in rushing.

    Denver has to pass to win as they cannot run. Raiders only have problems stopping the run against premier RBs: mjd, gore, cj, foster; moreno & mac=gahee are not in their class; Mr. McFadden and Mr. M. Bush are.

  118. kellygreenninja Says:

    Talking about the possibility of Ford returning a punt to provide a spark reminds me of one of my favorite Raiders plays, and that was Tim Brown returning a punt for a TD vs. the Chiefs in 2001. Totally worth youtubing if you want to revisit it.

    Speaking of old Raiders, was at the Seattle game, and there was plenty of Raider Nation representation. Far and away I saw more Bo Jackson jerseys than any other Raider player, only fitting since we were in Seattle.

    Gordon looked real good out there. Huge target out there and he was open, and most importantly, caught the ball when it came to him.

    Hagan is fun to watch to. Caught a laser. If he isn’t active and doesn’t play Monday night, it’s a real shame.

    My guess is DHB and Ford will start. I hope Hagan gets plenty of reps, and I’m really pulling for D. Moore.

  119. RaiderRetribution Says:

    Raidertalk, I’m hearing ya.

    All I read is that the Raiders are one of the 5 worst teams in the NFL.

    Three nights of scheduled workouts under the lights with blazing loud speakers to simulate our Monday night opener is not only good and smart, but financially costly. It tells me that Hue, and his sidekick Al, really want to win the opener against the Sha-na-rat donkeys. Ya, I like that. Added effort, added work equals due diligence and that converts into a BIG WIN.

  121. RaiderRetribution Says:

    Raiders do have arguably the best front 4 on defense, they are all healthy, and they have a complete season behind them playing together, i.e., Mr. Houston is not a rookie anymore, Mr. Kelly is not an overweight, over paid DT anymore, and Mr. Shaughnessy will now be respected as is Mr. Seymour.

    Talking about the possibility of Ford returning a punt to provide a spark reminds me of one of my favorite Raiders plays

    ———————————————————–

    Yeah man my hope is we can use Fords abilities to level that philidelphia uses DeSean Jackson. Ford could be a true threat to score anytime he touches the ball.

    Can’t say that I’m not used to it tho…
    It could actually work in our favor this year. If we fly under the radar we could suprise a lot of teams. Especially with explosivness on offense if JCamp can get his rythmn early.

    RaiderRetribution. Good points you bring up and we’ll see how they plays out in a few more days. I’m sure you’re also hoping that freaking Rolando McClain steps it up in the run game, getting to those holes a lot sooner to plug and stop them. Wimberly and Groves need to step it up as well. The Wim because he’s making the big bucks now, and the Gro because someone is going to kick his butt if he doesn’t.

    Boy you guys can make a mountain out of a molehill better any old Grandma I’ve ever seen. Hagan ian’;t listed because Al Davis doesn’t want him above DHB. Some of you need an enema…..bad!

  126. Hagar the Horrible Says:

    We must not let articles about how bad we are affect us in anyway. We know there is a lot of hate towards us out there, but that’s all good. Like Raidertalk points out, it could work to our favor and I’m sure it motivates the players when they read all that garbage.

  127. RaiderRetribution Says:

    Hagar, the LB could be the suprise unit for the Raiders, even more so than our WR corp is turning out to be.

    Mr. Wimbley, Mr. McClain, and Mr. Groves had some big plays last season.

    I’m hoping coach Biekert installed a mean streak in them.

    great article/preview on the Raiders; most accurate one [especially re: Mr. Shaughnessy]I have read to date.

  129. Hagar the Horrible Says:

    RaiderRetribution:

    Ya, thanks for sharing the article. I’m surprised the article didn’t mention anything about Taiwan Jones, but them maybe it was written before his his preseason game where he just ran the pants off everyone. He’s faster than a speeding bullet.

  130. Hagar the Horrible Says:

    Biekert, Wisniewski and Woodson as ex-players now coaching the game should show benefits as the season progresses. I would think that as a player, advise, pointers, techniques, ideas, etc., coming from a coach that’s an ex-player has added value. That coach has been there…in the big league…with the big guns…and he’s teaching from real life experience.

    Good Morning Raider Nation! I have been reading your comments for awhile now and I decided that I needed to join the forum. Die hard Raider fan since I was 3 yrs old. When asked what my favorite NFL team is I say of course the Raiders, when asked what my second favorite NFL team is I again say THE RAIDERS! Win Lose or Tie Raiders til I die! Looking forward to Monday’s game, I think that the leash will be taken off the dogs and the dogs WILL hunt. Have faith in Hugh and Coach! Football is their business ladies and business is gooooood! One Nation Raider Nation

    Only reason people are picking the donkeys over us is because we suck. We lost miller and nnamdi and fired cable the season is over. Little we know but they are right!!! We will lose this game no doubt!!!!!!

  135. Musaeus Says:

    With this team it doesn’t matter who the “starting receivers” are. Just as it doesn’t matter who the starting running back is. If we come out with 4 WRs we’ll have 4 starting receivers. If we come out with only 1 and then bring out 3 new ones on the next play, is there really a “starting WR”?

    What is important is who will get open the most and drop the least balls.
