Mistic,
my point is the Raiders draft philosophy the last few years seems to have changed. More players from top programs, no prima donnas, more production-based than projects, more O-linemen.
Is this because Al has relenquished some control of the draft, or did he have an epiphany at this age?

DHB has regressed from last year.
After 3 games this year he has 5 catches for 49 yards.
Last year after 3 games, he had 10 catches for 140 yards.
Hue has moved on……
==============
not even close bra
he missed one game with injury, he was the lead receiver week one. he was covered by revis most of the game and jc stayed away. this is why his numbers arent bigger.
He will have the best season of his young career this season
BOOK IT
September 26th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
With each year that Seabass is a weapon, it takes more of the sting of his 1st round pick status.
No team from that draft is getting any production from their 1st rounders in 2011.
The Herd said today he thinks we will win 10 or 11 games, and said we got a tough D-line, a big-play weapon, and a “elite” kicker.
That knuckleball that Seabass kicked to Cromartie was a thing of beauty.

DAVIS HAS SOMEONE HE TRUST…HU JACK
They both believe in bigger faster stronger, yet hu jack being younger has a better handle on the modern athelete and the mentality of the players. he added one element into the mix, the desire to be great players. davis was duped by players in the recent past in this regard.

Consider it booked.
I said before the season that he would have more weeks inactive than TD receptions.
You can book that my friend.

who do the patsies have at db? i could easily see DHb in the 4-7 catch range sunday.

If gangrene is anything close to overlooking the Raiders this game they’ll be in for a beat down. Raiders will open their home schedule and fans and players alike will be out for blood after last week’s loss to Buffalo.
Yeah the Raiders got torched on defense @ Buf. second half of the game but trust me, they’ve been hearing all about it. Expect a strong showing by Rich Seymour, Rolando McClain, and co. to halt the jets ground game. Raiders have a deep D-Line that could dominate the inconsistent Mangoldless jets line.
Lets face it, Sanchito is not in the neighborhood of great QB’s yet as he won’t even be able to match the way the 2nd best QB in the AFC East did last week against the Raiders. TE Keller has to absolutely kill it for the passing game to survive cuz Holmes who is slowed(quad) and Burress (rust) won’t get any separation from the speedy, lengthy Raider CB’s. Sanchez better be mighty accurate to complete the ball downfield, something a SoCal resident knows he dosen’t do consistent enough.
Last but not least. This is not ’09, there is no Jamarcus, turnovers, and 3&outs on offense for the Raiders this time. They have a deep young talented group led by a strong run game with Mcfadden and Michael Bush. Jason Campbell does a nice job of incorporating everybody on offense and isn’t afraid of taking a shot deep when defenses cheat. Its a very balanced offense that can keep defenses guessing. Expect the Raiders to take their shots vs. a very overrated Cromartie who’ll keep drives going with flags.
On the bright side for the mucus, the D will still keep them in it but can’t make up for the O’s ineffectiveness. Raiders win 24-13

New England has McCourtey, a young Pro Bowler.
Soup needs to be careful around him. He is kind of a Deangelo Hall type DB.
Will give up a few catches, than house a pick 6.

I love how they put out T.Jones for his first ever kick coverage after they go up by 7 and know Cro is wanting to make a big play. Taiwan, Jano’s gonna kick a knuckler so fly as fast as you can and make a play!
September 26th, 2011 at 6:10 pm
Revis is the Jets Left CB and covers whoever lines up as the Z wideout over there. He wasn’t shadowing anyone.
===================
this isnt entirely true, where ever dhb went revis followed it was straight man to man
++++++++
Neither of these are true…
Revis was alternating every other play from let to right, did not matter where DHB was lined up…

something else to love about hu jack. not only did he call out sanchez for eating the hot dog, but then had his team ready to back it up!!!

===================
Interesting observation. After the Allen/Lombardi/GRuden regime things got a little crazy in the draft, we can all safely assume AD had a lot to do with the picks but I wonder if he was quietly seeking some one he could trust, just as you stated. AD has a rep of being cold and calculating and I would guess that someone is inside the Raiders brass has earned this position, I hope it is Hue.

Moore, Ford, Hagan, Murphy, Schilens, DHB.
That is a fair ranking in order of productivity.

Based on what productivity?
If you talk about on the field production from THIS season ….
Moore Hagan DHB Ford Schillens Murphy.
Isn’t what have you done for me lately fair?

DHB is not a star at this point, but he isnt a scrub.
He has now become a servicable reliable target, and he proved it in preseason and the opener, coming up huge in the clutch and catching everything thrown his way.
He is only beginning to scratch the surface..just wait you will see

Yeah, with Moore, Hagan, and soon Ford and Chaz taking away PT from DHB, I don’t see a breakout year anytime in DHB’s near future.

Yes, 2 out of 3 vs the Broncos, Bills, and Browns.

September 26th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
DHB should not be blamed for being picked 7th overall. It is not his fault the Raiders staff was compelled to take the risk on him so early. From what I see in DHB he is capable of making big plays he just doesn’t play as fluid as some of our other receivers. He has the ability to work over some NFL DB’s but I believe he’ll develop not into a Randy Moss, but to play more the style of Tim Brown, for comparison. Just my opinion not saying he is guaranteed to produce like these WR’s, although i would take it
September 26th, 2011 at 6:23 pm
Mistic,
do you think a player can develop the ability to fight for a ball, go get it at it’s highest peak, and have an awareness for timing jumps? Or do you think it’s something that your spatial ability has either peak-developed or not by age 22?
Seems like that’s what everyone sees in Moore – an ability to time his jumps and be aware of spatial relations that are simply higher than most WRs.
I don’t know that DHB can “develop” those traits.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
Man, DHB draws a lot of attn on this board. Win or lose, its DHB. haha.
After 3 games I would be inclined to want to start Moore & Ford; but then you have a problem with size and every down ability (specifically, blocking). Moore & Ford would be too small for my particular taste n preferences. You need an imposing force there. And don’t tell me Hagan. He’s not better their either of those guys.
You want DHB to succeed because he brings that every down element of size, speed and agility. When he gets going strong, he’ll be one helluva force to deal with.
You don’t stick Revis on him most of the game if you don’t think he’s your biggest threat. And Rex aint no semi like some of you here.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
daaaaaang RDRS,
Tim Brown was like Jedi master when it came to route running and finger-tip away-from-his-body catches. Smooth as silk. Definitely not DHB’s skill set.
DHB’s ceilng is ASHLEY LELIE.
Perhaps for some team as a starter someday, he will have one or two years where he beats guys deep and breaks 900, 1,000 yards even.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
Rex sticking Revis no DHB should get your attention. If not, you’ll just stay lost. Nothing new.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
with McFadden running the way he is, we should be throwing play action passes all up and down the field in the second half. I think we throw a lot against the Pats. After the game, our fans tie Brady to the goalpost and give him a boy’s haircut.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Spoken like a true Terp…lmao
September 26th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Terrapin,
between DHB, Moore, and Hagan
who did you think Revis would cover? I’m pretty sure the semi’s have seen more tape of Moore and Hagan this year than Rex Ryan.
I mean, if we played the Giants next Sunday, would we stick Routt on Victor Cruz because he had a huge game last week? Probably not, even if Cruz was better than Nicks or Manningham. Our D-coordinator simply wouldn’t know it as well as Giants fans who follow the team daily would.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Size, speed, agility and blocking ability. You should want him to be very successful. That only makes the Raiders better.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Seems like that’s what everyone sees in Moore – an ability to time his jumps and be aware of spatial relations that are simply higher than most WRs.
I don’t know that DHB can “develop” those traits.
——————————————————
I don’t think DHB can do that. Every now and then, probably so. Probably didn’t play enough basketball.
But I do think the guy can run shorter routes and be very effective. Just don’t understand why Hue keeps this kid on sideline and vertical routes only. I think his best routes would be shorter stuff across the middle.
Let the guy use his size and speed to generate YAC.
Forget about him being the #7 overall pick and expecting the beastly WR. Play to what the kid can actually do NOW.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
Alex7,
I love Timmy man. The guy was fun to watch with those damn finger wraps and hand warmer LOL Classic Raider for sure. Maybe asking DHB to mimic Tim Brown is asking too much but given the investment I sure hope he produces like him SOON.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
Just Win,
So long as JC keeps those play-action deep throws in bounds
September 26th, 2011 at 6:32 pm
After 3 games I would be inclined to want to start Moore & Ford; but then you have a problem with size and every down ability (specifically, blocking).
——————————————————
Not so sure why this is so hard to understand.
We are a running team folks. Having WRs who can block is HUGE for our offense.
Hagan looked damm good blocking this weekend though. He is certainly making a case for more snaps.
I was fine with DHB, Hagan, and Moore being the top 3 WRs this weekend.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:33 pm

———————————————–
D@mn Terrapin that was a pretty legit post dude. Man I hope DHB catches on like wild fire. What do you think happen to Chaz? He seems healthy but he is not really in the game plan. I thought he would do a little more in the 15-20 yard catch catagory.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:33 pm
Hill,
I wonder if DHB’s somewhat suspect hands and fumbles would be a bigger risk on routes in the crowded part of the field?
Maybe he alligator-arms in practice for all we know. It is strange though that he seems to run 2 routes only. I’m sure Hue has seen him enough to have a reason though.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:35 pm
DHB has the physique to dominate smaller DB’s, he will become a contributor and hopefully will start gouging defenses.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
yeah, I’m starting to see Ford more and more as a slot receiver brought in for certain packages/plays. Not really a starter. He had 2 big games last year, and plenty of forgettable ones, even in the 2nd half once he was getting mucho PT.
Ford = slot WR, KR, punt returner. Keep him fresh. He’s a WR version of Darren Sproles.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
DHB’s ceilng is ASHLEY LELIE.
——————————————————
I hope not.
I was thinking more along the lines of big physical possesion WR who has the ability to get some YAC.
I keep thinking Boldin.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:36 pm
Steve told us last week that Al has the same people in the same draft dep that he has always had
September 26th, 2011 at 6:37 pm
J Hill,
CORRECT! The Raiders now know they can impose the run on damn near any one, and will continue to do so, which in turn will open up the field for our young fast receivers to make things happen.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:37 pm
RDRS,
Speed and physique without crisp route running ability, without strong hands in traffic, and without spatial awareness = Ashley Lelie.
Very limited repertoire, but big-play capability.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
*****LMAO!!! Namath was so pissed that we beat the Jets he went after his old team on the radio******
We must be doing something right. We are causing fudes now, I guess no one thought we could do it.
I wonder if Namath wnet back to hitting the sauce after that loss to dem Raidaaaaaaasssss?

Ford = slot WR, KR, punt returner. Keep him fresh. He’s a WR version of Darren Sproles.
—————————————————-
Agreed.
All that extra stuff Hue tried to come out with in Denver was uncalled for.
No lining him up in the backfield, no wildcat, just line him up in the slot or on the outside and let him go to work.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:40 pm
Yeah, with Moore, Hagan, and soon Ford and Chaz taking away PT from DHB, I don’t see a breakout year anytime in DHB’s near future.
==============================================
Might just be exactly what DHB needs.
I think one of the things that’s hurt DHB is the immense expectations for him to immediately produce and be a number one receiver.
Truthfully, as long as other guys are getting the job done, I don’t care if he has a breakout season. I’d love to see it, but at this point I’d settle for steady improvement and reliable production when he does get PT.
As long as he isn’t regressing he simply has too much physical ability to give up on. Doubtful he ever proves worthy of his draft position, but I can see him becoming a valuable contributor and worthy of a roster spot.

Interesting fact. How long is “always” though? Although I am inclined yo believe this though because we are still drafting big, fast, and scary athletic players BUT the only difference is they are now it seems they are considering heart, focus, determination, and smarts because this new “fleet” is fast mean and smart.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:41 pm
Boldin is a beast when it comes to pushing off, playing super aggresively, running crisp routes, timing his jumps perfectly.
Not sure DHB has those skills. His Madden awareness should be like 50.
DHB is tall guy who if open can catch the ball and run far.
DHB = Michael Jenkins, Ashley Lelie, Malcolm Floyd.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:42 pm

—————————————————-
Well with DHB on the field with Moore and Ford, the middle shouldn’t be crowded at all.
Send those 2 guys out on the routes they currently have DHB running. I think Moore is MUCH better suited for the vertical routes.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:43 pm
Sexy Rexy called out Joe Namath after namath referred to the jets as delusional & were ill prepared for the Raiders game. Said if (less than) Broadway Joe could still wing it they’d bring him in for the backup job.
Joe couldn’t road trip. Couldn’t make it through the metal detector @ the airport. . .

Have to disagree with this statement…
Revis was not put on DHB, that is incorrect…
The jest were alterning revis from left to right, it had nothing to do with dhb…
September 26th, 2011 at 6:45 pm
yeah, McClain is neither fast nor super big.
Wiz is not an athletic beast (size wise).
Satele is known as a smart, crafty veteran, certainly not huge and stronger than most C.
Our RG is known as a technical stud.
It seems Hue’s run offense requires smarts, technique, and will when it comes to blocking. Honestly there aren’t that many straight ahead plunges into the C-G gap.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
It’s amazing that people here are still defending DHB. He s#cks. 2 touchdown catches in 28 games is pathetic for a wide receiver.
That would be one more touchdown pass than Khalif Barnes has caught.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:48 pm

September 26th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Alex7,
The play calling has been fun to watch! Hue and Al (Saunders)
have really shown the size of their cojones with the choice of plays these last 3 weeks. Great sign that they have a grasp on the abilities of the team. Definitely can feel the autumn wind returning to the Nation.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Kirk.. forget it dude…. its called being delusional. .. its where we all were during the early jamarcus days…
September 26th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Why is it that a WR is only productive if he gets into the endzone?
He can’t contribute to any other part of the game?
WOW!!!!!
Dammm crucial 1st downs.
Dammm good blocks.
Dammm drawing penalties.
McFadden and Bush can score all the TDs as far as I’m concerned.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:51 pm
Kirk,
this is the mythical “Year 3″ where some WRs blow up. So the DHB talk will die down for sure after this year.
And research shows most big-time WRs had legit rookie years.
Fitz, Colston, Bowe, Jennings, Holmes, D. Jackson, A. Johnson, Boldin all had legit rookie seasons that showed true promise.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:52 pm
Thanks Plunkett,
I am curious to know this. Gonna make it a point to get in on the chat.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:55 pm
Thec,
did Ford look special when we we went out of our way to get him touches vs Denver?
Maybe it was just a bad game, or maybe the odds that he turns into Steve Smith and DeSean Jackson are a little large.
He will have a few spectacular games, but he doesn’t seem to be a day-in, day-out top 2 WR.
There’s a reason there aren’t many WRs his size. Odds are against him. Leave him in the slot, use him sparingly, keep him fresh and healthy.
September 26th, 2011 at 6:56 pm
While everyone is talking receivers, any one think we should incorporate a receiver screen to D.Moore!??
September 26th, 2011 at 6:57 pm
DeSean Jackson. 6′0″
Jacoby Ford. 5′9″
I’d rather the little guy return kicks, punts, and play slot …
than be a starting WR and kept off the special teams. I don’t think Hue will do starting WR, PR, and KR.
Could anyone that size hold up to that workload?
September 26th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
RDRS, Moore looks a notch above most when it comes to moving in space, huh? I’m sure Jackson has some screens for him tucked away in his playbook.
Have we ever had a more explosive offense? DMac, Moore, Taiwan, and soon Ford?
Kaufman and Brown were legit, Garner and Brown…but I’ve never seen 4-deep like this.

You don’t stick Revis on him most of the game if you don’t think he’s your biggest threat. And Rex aint no semi like some of you here.
+++++++++++=
Have to disagree with this statement…
Revis was not put on DHB, that is incorrect…
The jest were alterning revis from left to right, it had nothing to do with dhb…
*************************************
I don’t know Thec. Almost every time they showed a replay Revis was on DHB. And almost every time I looked over to DHB when he was in he game Revis was there. And when Revis was not there, Cromartie was …playing like 10yds off lol.
I’ll go back to the game prob tomorrow but that what I was seeing.
Revis did go on Moore some when Moore began lighting up Cromag.

Thec,
did Ford look special when we we went out of our way to get him touches vs Denver?
Maybe it was just a bad game, or maybe the odds that he turns into Steve Smith and DeSean Jackson are a little large.
He will have a few spectacular games, but he doesn’t seem to be a day-in, day-out top 2 WR.
There’s a reason there aren’t many WRs his size. Odds are against him. Leave him in the slot, use him sparingly, keep him fresh and healthy.
+++++++=
His first game back after having played zero in the preseason??? Yeah I would say he did not play well.
Part of me is laughing at the size argument as he has cuaght pasees over larger DB’s, and while being braketed, so that size argument IMO is lame…
He Doesn’t seem to be a day to day WR based on what?
Do you truly believe coach Jackson
is going to relagate him to a sproles type role????
Thats your fantasy not coach Jackson’s…
September 26th, 2011 at 7:02 pm
I just think Chaz may have been on the bench for far too long. You can’t progress in football recovering from injury half your career.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:04 pm
I’ll admit I have no idea who Frank Hawkins is.
But if we have to pull one name from deep history, then the odds are severely stacked against Ford.
.
.
I guess it’s a moot point though, as DHB, Moore, Ford, Hagan, and Chaz look like they will all rotate in and out, keeping them all fresh.

DHB has regressed from last year.
After 3 games this year he has 5 catches for 49 yards.
Last year after 3 games, he had 10 catches for 140 yards.
Hue has moved on……
==========================================
Can’t say I agree. Always remember football is the ultimate team game, and sometimes you just have to give credit to the other guys. DHB has gone up against Champ Bailey (Probable lst Ballot HOF) and Darrelle Revis (Certain lst Ballot HOF) in 2 of those 3 games. Think about it from the other sideline: Who would you put Bailey or Revis on? If Murphy was playing, probably Murphy. With no Murphy or Ford, are you going to put Revis on someone who has never played an NFL game in his life? Probably not. Your scouting report is going to try to shut down DHB. Let the no names beat you.
As for Hue moving on, if you remember that when Game One was on the line in Denver, instead of calling the obvious run up the gut very late in the game, Hue called for a quick slant to DHB to ice the game! What you guys saw as DHB catching the ball with his body, I saw as DHB making sure he was going to make the catch and NOT GOING TO GET STRIPPED! That was a very gutsy call, and a very solid play from that young player. If he comes thru in those kind of situations, I think Hue is very much going to keep going to him and NOT move on.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:06 pm
Terp, I saw it live up close and in person…FYI I dont like Revis, he tried to start some SH!T with DHB, and DHB was not having it. They almost drew a flag, zebra stepped in to intervene…
I think the scheme was to limit either side of the field from JC… Kinda dictate what the offense could do and which side they would throw on as teams are scared to throw at revis….
If FORD was in the game and he draws revis thats a TD
As revis cannot guard him…
September 26th, 2011 at 7:07 pm
We should play all our receivers, keep everybody ready at all times and rotate them in and out like we do the dline. This “start” thing is overrated especially with our run game. Besides the way these guys get hurt its always next man up I mean look the way the year (preseason included) has gone so far, I think dmore and little nicky are the only ones who haven’t been hurt yet.

He was a local lad
In the 1981 NFL Draft, Hawkins was selected at the end of the tenth round (276th overall) by the champion Oakland Raiders. With the Raiders in Oakland and Los Angeles, he also wore number 27 and played in Super Bowl XVIII in January 1984. During that 1983 NFL season, Hawkins and running back Kenny King combined for 1,119 total rushing and receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, winning the final game 38-9 over the favored Washington Redskins. During his seven seasons with the Raiders, Hawkins was the second-leading rusher for three straight seasons, 1983-85.[1]
Nicknamed “The Hawk,” his 5,333 career rushing yards at Nevada ranks fourth all-time in NCAA history behind Ricky Williams (Texas), Tony Dorsett (Pittsburgh) and Charles White (Southern California). In 1997, Hawkins was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.[
September 26th, 2011 at 7:09 pm
Alex7,
That is what has me excited for this team and season overall. The offense has multiple ways to attack a defense with different looks and players to give the ball to. It’s fun to have this many bad ass players, it has been a long time since I have had this feeling.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:10 pm
Thec, two points.
1.) Why use the word RELEGATED to Sproles role? It’s a heck of a weapon and the guy gets about 12 touches a game! End around here for Ford, a couple of routes, punt returns, kickoff returns.
1.) The size argument is definitely valid if you look around the league and see only 2 other guys his size succeeding as a starting WR (Steve Smith, Welker). Let’s at least agree the odds are against him that he can produce week in and week out.
I did see last year a simple slant route vs Jax off his fingertips that resulted as an INT. Any other receiver that’s an easy catch. Sure, JC will adjust, but he’ll adjust because the size makes it a slight issue.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:10 pm
I just think Chaz may have been on the bench for far too long. You can’t progress in football recovering from injury half your career.
+++++++++++=
CHAZ has a lot of catching up to do so if his body holds up I say keep him…
September 26th, 2011 at 7:10 pm
I forgot to mention he did a lot of blocking and opening holes for others.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
Thec – I’m not saying all snaps, but from what I saw most of DHBs snaps Revis was on him. Not all, but most snaps DHB was in the game Revis on on him. I’ll go back and watch, after all you could be right.

Out of ALL the WR’s in the NFL how many drop passes?
September 26th, 2011 at 7:12 pm
Basically, Thec
I think Ford is a better punt returner, kickoff returner, and slot receiver than he is a #2 outside receiver.
I think Jackson will choose the former role over the latter.
I don’t think Jackson wants Ford getting starting WR snaps AND returning all kicks.

Any one notice that the BSPN has not given the Riaders much airtime? Funny we beat the coveted New York Jest and still get little to no credit. I understand we havent been good for a long time but considering the way we won against Jest i’m a bit surprised we arent getting more air time. Oh well STILL RAIDERS NATION for life.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
Isn’t it funny how if the Raids have a good draft or make a good selection – everyone is speculating that someone BESIDES Al Davis must be responsible.
Here’s the truth: Al is responsible for every pick. Both good and bad. His scouts can recommend. His coaches can suggest. But Al is the final word and the buck stops with him. End of story.
Some of you old-timers might remember the days of BLESTO. BLESTO was a scouting combine that all but two teams in the NFL subscribed to. Many teams had virtually no scouting departments of their own and would rely on BLESTO for player evaluation and draft accordingly.
Al Davis and the Raiders were one of only two teams that refused to join BLESTO or any other scouting combine.
The maverick, as usual, preferred to go it alone.
I’m sure some of the names and faces in the Raider personnel department have changed over the years. But I’ll guarantee you the nuts and bolts of the operation hasn’t changed dramatically. Neither has the philosophy. And most importantly, neither has the man in charge.
All the people who saw fit to mock and kick Al Davis when he was down should be expected to praise him if he gets the Raids back to the top of the heap.
Never happen though. All we’ll hear is the Raids are winning again in spite of Al Davis.
Some things will never change.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:17 pm
Thec,
history? Do you think there’s ZERO reason that most successful NFL receivers have been bigger than 5′9″?
Little receivers (Smith, Jackson, Donnie Avery) seem to injure more often (which makes sense) and it’s just simply harder for them to do what a similarly-talented 6′1″ receiver could do.
Is Ford THAT MUCH better than Moore, Hagan, and Chaz (when healthy?)
September 26th, 2011 at 7:18 pm
again, if Jackson will start Ford at the Z spot and still let him return punts and kicks, then sure, have at it.
Listening to Hue though, I don’t think he’s into that.
Ford at slot, PR, KR isn’t more VALUABLE than Ford at Z only?
September 26th, 2011 at 7:19 pm
I like Al Davis. I like that he tries to build a team that fits this profile as opposed to a me too team.
What I have not liked about Davis was the coaching turnover / hires.
Now we are seeing the multiple dividends being paid for Al finding the RIGHT coach and sticking with the same coach/QB for two years in a row.
Imagine what can happen the longer they stay together.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:21 pm
Ok Thec,
I’ll just ask this: Will Ford supplant DHB or Moore as a starter as far as number of snaps they receive out on the field?
I doubt it’s DHB for Al reasons, and it’d be a crime if it’s Moore.
If it’s neither, then he’ll be a guy who rotates in and out, right? Limited snaps.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
Raiderman99,
I am sure that most of the Raiders nation knows Al is the one who okays the list, it’s obvious the framework for the type of player they pick is still the same as well, I am curious to know if he fully trusts Hue Jax to steer this team. I hope he does because Hue and Al Saunders look like a great combo!
September 26th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
true SnB. Better yet, imagine if Al spends some money on a legit D-coordinator.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the way Jason Campbell is playing.
When you run the ball like the Raiders are doing, #1 rushing attack in the NFL..you keep running until the opponent can stop it.
The most important thing for the passing game is that they are getting the throws when they need it..and Hue is not being careless with the play calling.
This isn’t Madden 12 where you can just throw and throw and throw…..this is real life….and running them ball still matters….regardless of the Playstation stats of Tom Brady.
The Raiders running a run 1st offense, with timely passing is the way to win. Although I have confidence they can win throwing if they have too…like they proved against Buffalo
September 26th, 2011 at 7:23 pm
This is old Raiders Football 1.0. It worked in the past, re-invented to 2.0. We smacked the @@@@ outa the Jets, the league is going to take notice. Big time. But at least we didn’t leave a bloody nose. Good call Hue! Broken nose, no blood, tactical blocking! I’m in, Hue, build the Bully, New England, beware! 38/31 Raiders!

Dude I had JFORD, and DMOORE as my starters in a 2 WR set May 1st…
JFORD comes back he is on the field, simple as that…
You want something diffrent to happen, take it up with coach Jackson, he and Coach Saunders are the guru’s…I trust them more than I do any semi on the blog…
September 26th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
true SnB
Campbell is a game-manager, which is good enough IF you either have a top D or can outscore your opponents with your ground-game.
So far so good. Just wish he could hit downfield throws more often, instead of sailing them out of bounds so much.
Imagine this running attack with a top-10 QB though
That’s when you join the Packers, Steelers, Patriots, and Ravens.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:28 pm
Thec,
I will be very impressed if DHB takes a back seat and doesn’t start once Ford comes back. Honestly, I would be thrilled. Just not ready to say it’s a lock, not with Al as owner.
Would truly show that Hue is making all the personnel moves though, if it happens.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:29 pm

September 26th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
Alex7,
The Raider receivers are also part of the equation too. Not just the QB slinging it all over the field. The receivers have to grow in their route running and getting timing down with the QB.
The offense is very young….
DHB is still very much a developing receiver
Moore is a rookie (although playing lights out)
Hagan just got here
Ford injured and just a 2nd year player
Schilens has missed A LOT of time
and they just got Boss ( a legit pass catching TE)
September 26th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
The guy that replaced Sterline Moore (Ron Parker) runs a sub 4.4 forty.
That’s all that’s being reported as far as who Ron Parker is.
Guessing Moore runs a 4.41
September 26th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
Raiders still need to step up their game to beat NE, specially avoiding penalties on the receivers. This is going to be the key because of the offense that Bilichukup runs. LBs will be chasing the patsies’ tight ends, will need to be more physical on them, but avoid the penalties, don’t play into the refs games.
I’m sure HueJac will keep working on that issue this week.
The Raiders can only get better, this is still a young team, mainly built through the draft.
If Chekwa turns out to be a decent coverage db, score another one for a great draft.
So far what a difference between this year’s OL and last’s? Is Wiz II making such a marked difference? And Jared has really stepped it out this year. How about Barksdale? and What if Bruce Campbell can play? Are the Raiders looking at a bright future in the O line?
September 26th, 2011 at 7:34 pm
Maybe it’s Davis’ tantrum action for Hagan’s slow butt playing well out there.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:35 pm
well yeah SnB, but JC keeps throwing it out of bounds! lol. I don’t want my receivers to run out-of-bounds routes.
September 26th, 2011 at 7:37 pm

my point is the Raiders draft philosophy the last few years seems to have changed. More players from top programs, no prima donnas, more production-based than projects, more O-linemen.
Is this because Al has relenquished some control of the draft, or did he have an epiphany at this age?

Its because its wrong.

——————–
No it hasnt. Its still athleticism and winners first. Pryor, DVD, Gordan, and Ausberry were all projects picked just this year. Pryor and Ausberry havent even established their position yet. DHB was a first round project. DHB and Ford were both the fastest WRs in the draft. DVD and Jones were both picked because of their 40 times. The two year run on offensive lineman is directly related to it being a major weakness for way too long. Bruce Campbell and Barksdale, like Mario Henderson were picked because of athleticism, not college production. Our drafts are still DB and WR heavy. I have no idea where you think anything has changed.

We absolutely can beat the cheatriots. The offense has to play well and put up a lot of points on a mediocre defense, and the defense needs to fly around and make some stops and get a couple of turnovers. I don’t look for the defense to stop N.E. but they do have to slow them down a little.

91,000 for a game? At how much a ticket?
September 26th, 2011 at 8:43 pm
I could care less about the cowboys, but I’m glad shanarat lost.
September 26th, 2011 at 8:45 pm
What is that? 10 million dollars a game gross?

6 days until another sellout at the OAKLAND COLISEUM!
September 26th, 2011 at 9:02 pm
I hope we start seeing more Boss & much less Meyer. On my card, I have Meyer as the #4 TE. By the end of the year I’m sure it will be that way on HuJack’s card too. Boss is a BIG weapon and we need him in there if he’s healthy. He’s a much better blocker too!
September 26th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
I don’t miss Zach Miller at all. Kevin Boss can catch, and more importantly, BLOCK!!!

********************
Kevin Boss will prove to be a significant upgrade to Zach Miller. And yes, he is a much better blocker. We were very lucky to have gotten him to join the Raiders. His loss was one of the dumbest things the NY Giants let happen.

It will be interesting to see what the Unpaid Bills did defensively to confuse Brady. I was watching some of that game, but with the sound down.

Half of Brady’s picks were deflected. I think one was at the line and the other was a woodhead drop

Well, looks like our pal Nnamdi got abused by a young buck this past weekend:

Angry Villager With Pitchfork – Haha! Nice screen name. I love it.
September 26th, 2011 at 10:04 pm
I think this week’s defensive effort should be STUFF any/all run attempts and all linemen GET YOUR ARMS, HANDS & LEGS UP to close down the passing lanes in the middle to Brady’s TE’s. A defensive alignment of 5-0-6 should get it done.
On the offense, just keep doing what you’ve been doing. I don’t think the Pat’s defense will be able to stop us from scoring.
I predict a high scoring event. It will be a shoot-out & I just hope our gun is bigger than theirs.
September 26th, 2011 at 10:06 pm
This is why everyone makes fun of us. It’s one thing to be jacked about a big win. But this is why they laugh at us:
“Nnamdi sucks! He sucks!!! Al was right! Al was right all along!!!! Nnamdi Asomugha is the worst CB in football!! He’s horrible! Al was right!!!”
One game…
September 26th, 2011 at 10:08 pm
Reality:
Nnamdi likely makes the pro bowl this year, Raiders likely finish at 8-8, miss the playoffs.

Good headline for when Hue and Al’s relationship hits Kiffin status.
September 26th, 2011 at 10:17 pm
I saw where earlier the discussion was Revis and who he was covering.I just watched the 1st half and he was on DHB every play until there was 4 minutes left and then only for 1 play.Then on 1 play during the drive right before half.The only times he switched sides was when DHB switched sides.
September 26th, 2011 at 10:17 pm
It didn’t take long for Kiffin to ruffle Al’s feathers, and it didn’t take much.
Hue’s already talking about the team playing “in his vision”. His vision? That can’t sit well with the old man. Some of the Davis worshipers in here are already suggesting Hue should “edit” himself, and be more like Belichick, reserved and quiet. Those of us who just know this team, know that it’s deja vu all over again…
September 26th, 2011 at 10:26 pm
So I’m a little p!ssed after watching the highlights on Nfl.com. They show the long catch and run by tomlinson with no mention of Chris Johnson being held by the DB. They chalk it up to “he’s still got it” or “he always does that to the Raiders” Then they show the long McFadden run and start it off with Steve Mariucci saying Kevin Boss got away with a hold there. Oh well guess I’ll just chalk it up to “the media hates the Raiders”

DHB has regressed from last year.
After 3 games this year he has 5 catches for 49 yards.
Last year after 3 games, he had 10 catches for 140 yards.
Hue has moved on……
——————————————————-
u can really say some ridiculous sh!t at times. the guy played in 2 of the 3 games this year not all 3 like last year. he was open enuff times to get a few more passes but jc isnt doing his job. he beat cromart on the pi he drew and jc just threw the ball out of bounds. he had enuff room to fit that ball in between cromart and the safety. he also shouldve thrown that endzone pass to the corner where dhb could run to it. why the hell is jc getting a pass for underthrowing a wr who runs a 4.3? the guy had a step on strickland and once agian jc missed him. u hella funny cuz u went from making the asinine prediction that cartwright would rush for more yrds than dmc last year and u even said that heybey would have a better career than russell and dmc. well russell flamed out but there was no way heybey was ever going to outshine dmc. he needs to do a better job of attacking the ball but there are times when our qb shouldnt make him have to.

“Lets face it, Sanchito is not in the neighborhood of great QB’s yet as he won’t even be able to match the way the 2nd best QB in the AFC East did last week against the Raiders.”
Fitzpatrick only threw for a 5.7 Y/A last week. He threw 2 more passes than Sanchez did against the Cowboys (who are a better defensive unit IMO), for 70 less yards. Both were at home, so that’s not an excuse. They were both in comeback wins, so that’s not an excuse, either. In fact, Sanchez did not have the luxury of a successful running game, so the Cowboys were basically setting up to tee off on the guy, and he still had a great comeback and second half.
They also have almost identical completion percentages for the season (63.2% vs. 63.4%). So if Fitzy is the “second best QB in the AFC East”, then what’s Sanchez? 2.01? Also, I think you should win some games (and not spend every week throwing 40 passes) before you can be “better” than someone. Stats aren’t everything.
And last I checked, Jason Campbell still runs the Raiders offense. He hasn’t been notable since Auburn. He scares me about as much as Luke McCown did. “no 3&outs”…PROVE IT! They have 5 3&outs in two games. The Jets have 8, but 3 were in the second half of Sunday’s game while running out the clock, two when the backups were in. 4 of the others were in the first half of the Cowboys game (when they tried to run into the teeth of an 8-man-in-the-box blitz party).
“Expect the Raiders to take their shots vs. a very overrated Cromartie who’ll keep drives going with flags. ”
Maybe Campbell should shoot a text over to Luke McCown to ask him what happens when a mediocre-at-best QB throws deep balls against Cromartie. You don’t beat Cro going deep, you beat him with complicated, multi-move routes. Please, by all means, chuck up arm punts to your WRs, who are probably worse at making a play on the ball than Cro is.
“On the bright side for the mucus, the D will still keep them in it but can’t make up for the O’s ineffectiveness. Raiders win 24-13.”
If the Raiders score 24 points, I will tattoo a Jamarcus Russell jersey onto my back.
This was fun.

I wish I knew this guy.

@188 I went to the AZ and @SD game last year and I pretty much watched Asomugha the whole time on D. Watching good corners on tv doesn’t do them justice like in person.
September 26th, 2011 at 10:34 pm
Don’t go getting your britches all soiled, MR.
Just an interesting headline I came across, especially considering that a virtual rookie was making catches over him and running through him with help from another teammate, no less (on both plays). It’d be interesting if it was Revis too. Nnamdi is discussed with the best of them so he’s gonna be under the microscope, dude.
Besides, you’d be gyrating like a school boy just hitting puberty with a naked Jennifer Aniston poster in his hand if Nnamdi was playing lights out and lighting the world on fire. Don’t lie, you’d be giddily telling us just how much Davis fumbled. Hypocrite.

Still concerned about our D, folks. Sanchez gave us a gift with that pick in the endzone. Wondering how we would have faired against a real QB.
September 26th, 2011 at 10:42 pm
My TIVO ended at 5:33 left in the 4th-was so excited watching the game forgot to extend the time- and Revis was on DHB all but a handful of plays up until then.
September 26th, 2011 at 10:45 pm
Need to activate another CB, IMO. NE is going to spread it out all day.

Just imagine how insufferable they would have been with a Jet victory. They love to hate on the Raiders. If the Raiders get hot, just watch them flop and act like they knew all along that the team would be good. This is why I don’t give any of those talking heads any of my time.

Look Dummies DHB was covered by Revis on every play Hello!!!!!
Revis is a shut down coner did you expect DHB to have Hall of fame numbers last week lol
If your Jason Cambell do you Challange Revis?
If your DHB Dont you just suck it up and play your role knowing the QB wont look your way this game?
But anyway we are on too the next game where DHB will shine again becuase the pats dont have anything close to a Revis!!!
