Raiders offensive coordinator Al Saunders speaks
By Steve Corkran
Saturday, September 10th, 2011 at 8:13 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Slow news day at practice today, one day before the Raiders board a plane for Denver.
Raiders public relations director Mike Taylor delivered the participation report before coach Hue Jackson spoke. As expected, tight end Kevin Boss, wide receiver Louis Murphy and safety Mike Mitchell are out of Sunday’s game against the Broncos.
Beyond that, nothing new, and Jackson wasn’t about to deliver on his promise of saying who is going to return punts, who is going to return kicks, who his starting wide receivers are, or anything else that might give the Broncos an edge, real or perceived.
With that in mind, we’ll indulge you with a transcript of offensive coordinator Al Saunders, who spoke with the media for only the second time since he was hired by the Raiders.
Q: What kind of challenges does a typical John Fox defense bring you?
A: A typical John defense is a good defense. You know what I mean? He’s been in the league a lot of years and he’s done a terrific job and he has some outstanding talent. He has two corners who are are outstanding players. (Brian) Dawkins had done a great job with them at strong safety — we competed against him in Philadelphia for years and those two outside pass rushers are just tremendous. Their speed is exceptional. Judging from the preseason, they’ve done an outstanding job in all phases of defense so we’ve got a good challenge.
Q: Is Elvis Dumervil the kind of guy you have to accountable for every single play?
A: Yeah, yeah, you need to know where he is but you need to know where (No.) 58 is too and you need to know where 20 is and you need to know where Champ Bailey is so he’s got a lot of guys you end up trying to figure out were they are. But there was a big difference in that defense when he didn’t play last year, obviously.
Q: Because it’s a new coach and scheme, do you completely throw out what happened last year against Denver, or can you look at tape and carry anything over?
A: Well, conceptually, they’re way different. I mean, they’ve gone from a 3-4 team to a 4-3 team. Personnel-wise, they’ve got a lot of different players on that front group and on the backup group and they’ve added that young safety from UCLA that’s played real well for them in the preseason. SO the personnel is different, the scheme is different and certainly, playing an opening day game, on Monday night, is different. And I think the second time the Raiders played them last year, it was only a one-point game. There’s a lot of things to look at that we can take from last year from a personnel standpoint, those players that are returning and playing, but there’s also some things that are a little bit of a mystery sometimes in the first game.
Q: Personnel-wise, with guys coming back from preseason injuries, how many more toys do you have, how much more comfortable are you?
A: Well I think I would mirror what Hue would say, the more players you have, the better players you have, the better you feel. We’ve got some guys that have worked real hard and I know they’re very anxious to play this game and we’re anxious to see how they do play. I think we feel very confident about what we’re doing and the direction we’re going and Hue’s done a great job of putting this team together in a real positive way so we’re looking forward to this thing.
Q: Need your wide receivers to get off to a fast start?
A: That’s important for any offense. We have some young receivers but gosh they’ve had a tremendous training camp. They’re not rookies. Jacoby (Ford) had a great year last year as a young kid, Darrius has been here for a few years and (Chaz) Schilens looks like he’s going to be ready to go. So we’ve got some guys who have caught some balls and done some things in this league. We expect them to step up and play at a very high level.
Q: How is Darrius Heyward-Bey’s confidence?
A: I think he’s a very confident young man. I’ve just been around him a short period of time but I really like what I see of him. I think he’s worked real hard. That’s why we play the games, to see how far we’ve come. I know he’s looking forward to doing it.
Q: Have you ever been around a team with this much pure speed?
A: We didn’t have this kind of speed in St. Louis. We had some great football players that played fast, but pure speed? This is a special group.
Q: How do you harness pure speed and make it into football skills?
A: I went to school with Tommie Smith, Lee Evans and John Carlos and Ronnie Ray Smith. They came out in the spring and they just came back from the 68 Olympics and there were some gold medals in there but they didn’t turn out to be football players. Speed and playing the game are two different things. People can run fast in a straight line but when you have to change directions and there’s another 200-pound defender over there trying to re-route you, you have to have the other skill of catching the ball. It is really different. I had a great privilege of coaching a guy for a lot of years, Charlie Joiner, who’s in the Hall of Fame. Charlie wasn’t a real fast guy but he played the game as fast as anybody around, like Freddie Biletnikoff did here. The really great ones that can transfer that speed into playing explosion, a guy like Lynn Swann, those guys are really special. It takes a while to do that.
Q: Is speed so valuable it’s worth the risk?
A: You can teach guys to run faster. Usain Bolt’s working right now to run the 100 a second faster so there’s some techniques and things you can do to make guys play faster. But that innate speed factor, it really gives you an advantage because of the open field. When you get the ball in the open field you run fast, and the faster you run the better chance you have of getting into the end zone before somebody else catches you.

i have one question for the day…
who is this Giordano guy and why is he expected to see alot of playing time in the nickel..
im not bashing the guy at all, but i just want to get some information on the guy
===========================================
Matt Giordano is a 7 year vet, played on the Playoff New Orleans team with Darren Sharper and is a good special teamer. So, you have a vet safety, that can fill both safety positions and play both of them well. Since the Raiders basically use their safeties interchangeably, this in very unique to have someone that can play both positions and play ST’s as a bonus. Hope that helps.

“Denarius (Moore) has been here for a few years”
Man we give DHB too much slack, this Moore guy has been here for a few years and hasn’t caught one pass in a real game.
Lol
September 10th, 2011 at 8:35 pm
Terrible interview. Questions and answers barely made sense. Denarius (Moore) has been here for a few years? Really?
September 10th, 2011 at 8:44 pm

What’s the over/under on false starts by Barnes?
September 10th, 2011 at 8:58 pm
Barnes will false start twice, lol. He’ll maul in the Run Game though so it’s all good.
September 10th, 2011 at 9:03 pm
I can live with 2, hopefully not in the red zone, or 3rd and short. Sorry for the slow blog, watching MMA on Showtime and boxing on HBO.
September 10th, 2011 at 9:05 pm
Barnes will false start twice, but one will take the Raiders out of field goal range.
September 10th, 2011 at 9:12 pm

I thought Al Saunders was a brilliant coaching staff addition. Really good hire. Hope it works out for us.

Stomp is to mild a word. We need to beat the dog sch1t out of them and then wipe the floor with their rag assed uniforms. Then after they are crying, we need to pound the wood up their rears and b1tch slap them when they ask for more.

Hey whether we stomp, beat the sch1t out of them or whatever, as long as we start the season with a W, I’m happy. I’d be fine with a walk off Seabass fg, just leave with that W & I’m good. Denver isn’t as bad as they were when we stomped them last year so it would be foolish to expect us to repeat that performance.

I gotcha. But the point is, if we got a bully to build, we need to bully up the score. But I will settle for a win, but lets build that bully.
September 10th, 2011 at 9:56 pm
Who is on hard knocks this year?
September 10th, 2011 at 9:57 pm
Tuesday will be “Judgement-Day,” and many of us will be able to say: “I told you so!” Hopefully, most of us will be pleased with Monday’s outcome, and I truly
believe we win and it’s a convincing win. That will set us up to go into Buffalo for win number two. Even though the donkeys, aka sha-na-rats, have changed their
team substantially, the bulk of there players were part of the butt kicking and they’re going to be playing with doubt. That’s another edge, among many, that favors us.
September 10th, 2011 at 10:03 pm

That bully building process is still in the works. We have the parts & the right leader to get there imo, but wanting it & becoming it are 2 different things. I love having guys like Bush, McClain & Seymour here to lead that charge. Let’s take the first step Monday to becoming the Gooch.

In his prime Bo Jackson was the best running back who ever lived.
His career being cut short was a travesty.
I’ve never enjoyed watching a Raider player more than Bo. Running not “over” but “through” Steve Atwater and of course the Bosworth thing.
The “haters” would say we don’t know how he would have ranked among the all time greats becuz his career was so short, which is true, but while he was playing, he was beyond awesome.
September 10th, 2011 at 10:45 pm
Q: Is speed so valuable it’s worth the risk?
A: …..When you get the ball in the open field you run fast, and the faster you run the better chance you have of getting into the end zone before somebody else catches you.
====================================================
This may be the all time worst answer….ever.
Uhhh so, if I um, run faster than, ummm the other guy then I uh, won’t get caught? O.K. I just run faster then.
YEAAAH I run fast now!!!!!!
September 10th, 2011 at 10:45 pm
Not too late to sign a LB AL!
September 10th, 2011 at 10:47 pm
Let me correct to say he “would have been” the greatest runner ever.
Too small sample size, but he was unstoppable. 6-2 230 and world class speed and tremendous strength and toughness? Holy crap.
Interesting that Bo Jackson NEVER lifted weights in his life.

Not only is Stan Routt the fastest 40 on the team – he is also the highest paid.

Might’ve been different if Bo were in there.
September 10th, 2011 at 11:03 pm
I still think that Bills team would have beat us even with Bo, but it would not have been a blowout.
What a shame that he was cut short like that. He was simply awesome.

I saw Bo play football for the Raiders and saw Bo play baseball for the Royals and saw him in spring training when he tried to make the Angels club after the White Sox let him go. Bo was the greatest two sport athlete ever and what made him great was the fact he could have been the best running back to ever play the game (only NFL player ever to run 90+ yards on a hand off for a TD twice) and he was a great baseball player.
Bo is also a dedicated family man.

Man I really can’t see us losing this game. It’ll have to be disasterous, like 3+ turnovers and 150yds in penalties. THE ONLY broncos advantage is being at home, trust.
September 10th, 2011 at 11:15 pm
Last year the % of balls caught compared to the # thrown their way:
Hagan 56% caught (24 out of 43)
Murphy 53% caught (41 out of 78)
Ford 47% caught (25 out of 53)
DHB 38% caught (26 out of 65)
Schillens 56% (5 of 9)
The ones that caught over 65% are the TE (who actually had quite a few longer passes) and the RBs.
Our receivers need to be more consistent.
But, for those who wonder why DHB is given a hard time is because of this. He gets so many targets, but caught not so many. This pre-season he was in the game for a lot of time, but didn’t catch that many (he did draw 2 PI penalties).
This is why I trust Moore more also. I’ve seen him make catches and adjust to the throws that Campbell made, whereas we’d say to DHB “well, he could’ve caught that, but it’s a tough one”. and his defenders would say how it was a bad throw.
This year DHB is more stable on his shorter routes. I hope they do that and get Moore and Ford on the longer routes.

Couldn’t agree more, however, a certain someone will argue that Murphy drops more passes than DHB, but I would like to argue Murphys passes were not catchable.
Some will say stats don’t lie and others will say they dont mean anything. What I hope is Hue Jackson is filling out the line up card and there are NO directives or mandates from the owners box.

Four score and 7 years ago Al Davis brought forth this great team Oakland Raiders concieved in equal opportunity and dedicated to the Commitment to Excellence.
Now we are engaged in division amongst the ranks, testing the limits of Raider Nation, testing the dedication of the ranks, and it is all together fitting and propper that we do this.
But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate on these hollowed grounds of Raider Glory Past, to those who have desicrated on this as such, the world will little note, not long remember what we say here. But it is for us the dedicated remaining and our unfinished work that we have strived to nobly achieve, the great task before us, the last full measure of devotion, that our fandom has not been in vain, we must get out to the games and support our team, the Oakland Raiders, and support Al Davis and his quest for another Lombardi.

Boss being out is unfortunate. Important free-agent banged up for the 1st game.I certainly hope he isn’t a loaf.He had good numbers in NY, better play well here.

September 11th, 2011 at 6:13 am
The Broncos listed four players as out. None are surprises: wideout Demaryius Thomas, defensive lineman Marcus Thomas, defensive tackle Ty Warren, and linebacker D.J. Williams will all be out.
Look for Oakland to run the ball like crazy because Denver’s defense does not look well equipped to defend on the ground.
September 11th, 2011 at 6:14 am
The Raiders O-line needs to protect Campbell and if it does I see no reason the Raiders shouldn’t win this one….The Donks are counting on what theyre calling ” Doom and Gloom…( funny) to get to Campbell…. The Raiders need to run it up the Gut …
Raiders 38….. Donks 17…

Yeah, but he is an elite enough athlete to where you can find a place for him.
I think he will be told to move to DB, but he can also run the scout team QB, be used in specific packages, and is a real solid young man that could be an asset to an organization.

Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas can’t be counted on for a while. It turns out that it’s more than just his Achilles tendon bothering him.
The Denver Post reports that Thomas, the Broncos’ first-round draft pick in 2010, also has a broken finger on his left hand

“Put it on film” is the theme for this year. At least for me.
I am done hearing people TALK about what they are going to do….then go out and just do it.
Last 2 years was for getting things in order.
This year has to be about winning all the games against the inferior opponents…and splitting the ones against superior opponents…and being competitive in every game…..maybe 1 mulligan.
This is not a “rookie” roster….most of the key contributors have been in an NFL uniform for 3 years or more.

The Raiders can certainly “put it on film” this year.
They have the talent, that’s for sure.
If there was ever a year where Al Davis can say to a coach…I gave you the tools…this is probably it.
Although, the run defense is still in question and they DEFINITELY have to “put it on film”

Monday’s priorities against the donkeys:
1. Win the freaking coin toss. Seems small, but important. We loss four in preseason. Just win it!
2. Establish the run game while giving up no freaking turnovers. Hold on to the rock, allow no strips.
3. Get the “speeding, bullet receivers” into the game. Keep the passes to DHB short, to Ford where ever he wants, to Chaz high and inside where he can power the catch in, to Hagan where he can use his hands, etc.
4. Stop their run and let the players “play to their pay,” Seymour, Kelly and Wimberly, among others.
5. Get to the QB and inflict some pain.
6. Score more points than the donkeys.
They could do more but that would be OK for a starter.
…It’s “play to their pay,” starting with Seymour, etc., and stay freaking healthy as well. We don’t need some of these top earners out for 2, 4, 6 weeks at a time.

Why? It is also curious why the line is what it is for this game.
The Raiders have a better offense and a better ‘front-line’ defense.
The way I see this game, the Broncos bet shot is to spread the Raiders out of defense forcing Huff to cover the slot and bring a safety off the bench (or DVD covering the slot).
If they can run it, then we really have a problem. But in all honesty, I don’t think they will be that successful on the ground.
But thats why they play the game. Either the Raiders win going away or the they barely win out by 3pts or less.
September 11th, 2011 at 8:41 am
The Raiders are not favored because in recent history the Raiders have been very sllllllllooooooooooooowwwwwww out of the gate.
Again, you want to shut down the critics….”put it on film”
September 11th, 2011 at 8:41 am
Unless everyone is betting that the Raiders do a face plant on MNF.

“Speed and playing the game are two different things. People can run fast in a straight line but when you have to change directions and there’s another 200-pound defender over there trying to re-route you, you have to have the other skill of catching the ball. It is really different”
Exactly!! So why in the hell is DHBust still starting?!

Since I’m sitting here anxiously waiting on some football, I took the priviledge of watching the 3rd preseason game (1st series offense & defense) vs the Saints.
Basically, those are the same Saints you saw Thursday. Great offense but the defense couldn’t stop Rodgers and they were not very good running the ball.
Using a bit of linear interpolation, can we expect the same from the Raiders? They say the 3rd preseason game is a dress rehersal. The Raiders played a lot of short ball – mix of the run ande short passes and a deep strike. They moved the ball very efficiently vs the Saints.
The defense is tuffer to call because DVD was in for CJ and no Seymour, which I assume makes a big difference in performance. DVD was targeted plenty and Bryant is no Seymour.
September 11th, 2011 at 8:56 am
To that end, playing short ball will certainly mute Denvers DEs.
September 11th, 2011 at 8:58 am
However, with Denver’s injuries I expect them to seriously pound the rock, especially if we get an early lead. DMC could have a huge day on MNF.
September 11th, 2011 at 9:18 am
Yes, the run defense is going to be tested right out of the gate. John Fox likes to run the football and expect Willis McGahee to get a lot of carries.
The Raiders have to PROVE they can stop the run….and yes..that includes the BIG PLAYS.
September 11th, 2011 at 9:22 am
I believe the raiders will stop the run. It’s the QB pressure I’m worried about here. Only bcuz
they need to pick up where they left off last season
if they can do that then they’ll be fine.
September 11th, 2011 at 9:23 am

When taking in the Vegas line, you see that money is pouring in on Denver laying the points, and Raiders to win outright.
When that happens, too many times I have seen it where, in this case Denver would win by 1, and everyone loses.
I try to pretend I don’t even see the line, because it worries me too much.

Most “pundits” believe that if you have an elite QB, and a top tier D should be a recipe for winning.
1. vj is back in the fold at WR.
2. Last year #1 ranked O, and D.
3. rivers
4. the “talent”
5. gates
The chargers will allways be the pic by some as they have rivers. I dont believe they will be that good,
based on what I have seen they still have problems along the oline and still wont stop the run, and gates is not at 100% with the foot injury…
September 11th, 2011 at 9:55 am
Peter King predicted Chargers in the Super Bowl as well, and he nailed both teams last year and has gotten at least one team each of the last 4 years.

JFB, yuo asked me about RGII…I like his throwing motion. Looke real poised in the pocket. Throws a pretty spiral on target, and leads his WR. Good footwork and pocket prescence. Has improved over last year. Would be a good fit for a NE pats style offense where they want to run quick plays by not giving the D the time to setup.
What round he will go in not sure however, he is far more polised all ready then TP, IMHO…

A Reid is such a fat slob.
September 11th, 2011 at 10:30 am
Vick has been living pretty dangerously so far this game.
A couple of throws in double coverage.
But man, nobody has big-play potential like him.
September 11th, 2011 at 10:33 am
Stephen Jackson is gonna have a monster day.
September 11th, 2011 at 10:34 am
or any Ram RB. Jackson out.

I knew the Eagles would be held back because of their OL and ppl where not paying it any attention looking at all the other bells & whistles. “Dream Team” my arse. Not until they fix the OL.
But what I didn’t catch was the inexperience of the LBs.
(I also expect the Steelers will have issues do to their OL. I was wondering if Big Ben would make it to the start of the season that line was so bad. And what do you know. Just fumbled on 3rd down on a sack.)
September 11th, 2011 at 10:37 am
FK!
September 11th, 2011 at 10:38 am
Nice seeing the Steelers get mauled by the Ravens.
September 11th, 2011 at 10:42 am
As an Angeleno I want the Raiders to stay in oak town. I love my two road trips a year down to the bay.The thouht of the weak Chargers moving to l.a makes me want to throw up. Only bright side would be that the Raiders come to l.a once a year
September 11th, 2011 at 10:44 am
The Colts are a 3-13 team without the neck
September 11th, 2011 at 10:44 am
Only way the chocking Chargers stay in SD is if they win. Superbowl.We all know that will never happen
September 11th, 2011 at 10:46 am
texans going in on the colts….lol
September 11th, 2011 at 10:46 am
Bills are up 14-0. Chiefs will be 6-10 this year.

Todd Haley = first head coach to be canned in-season
September 11th, 2011 at 10:52 am
No matter what happens Mon. nite the Bills will not be a cake walk for us.
September 11th, 2011 at 10:56 am
Today Im a Bills fan. Will worry about next week on Tuesday.
September 11th, 2011 at 11:01 am
Is one player (Peyton Manning) this important to a teams success?
I heard some media saying the Colts “system” is bigger than just Manning.
Judging from todays game, their “system” needs some work.
Looks like they are truly nothing without him so far.
September 11th, 2011 at 11:03 am
That’s why Qbs make the most money.You have to think that Manning with the Colts is worth at least 6 wins.

Tom Cable takes over as HC.
September 11th, 2011 at 11:04 am
QB is the 1st, 2nd and 3rd most important position.
D-line 4th, and HC 5th.
September 11th, 2011 at 11:09 am
Buff is beating KC. Raiders better be prepared
this won’t be a cake walk

Man, how does that happen from one year to the next???
The only answer is the coach, IMO.

Correction:
Chiefs had won the game before Raiders last year so it’s only 3 straight beatdowns.

Who was the guy yesterday who said Flacco has gotten worse since Hue left?
Last year was Flacco’s best year by far, and he is looking pretty good to start this year.
September 11th, 2011 at 11:31 am
Raiders only team to beat KC at Arrowhead last year in reg. season.
Oakland has won FOUR (4) straight at Arrowhead.

called that when they cut him, should not have waited…better email him the playbook right now..
September 11th, 2011 at 11:35 am
Manning or no, could this be the begining of the end of the Colts reign amongst the AFC elite?
Leaves room for the Raiders to take that role…IF they decide they want to take it.
September 11th, 2011 at 11:37 am
Thec, I know, seems like a no brainer that they should’ve done that. Now it’s gonna look like a total panic move. Which it is of course.
September 11th, 2011 at 11:40 am
So far, many things from preseason look true:
-Chiefs suck
-Eagles O-line sucks
-Colts are a college football team without Peyton
-Andy Dalton looks very poised for a rookie
-Lions are vastly improved
-Saints offense is world class, defensive secondary is awful
September 11th, 2011 at 11:40 am
I can’t believe I have to watch the Colts/Texans game. Steelers and Ravens, please!
