WR/KR Ford, S Mitchell return to practice; Murphy, C.J. out
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, September 28th, 2011 at 11:12 am in Oakland Raiders.
Wide receiver/kick returner Jacoby Ford is at practice today, as is backup safety Mike Mitchell. That gives the Raiders two players they haven’t seen much of this season, both in training camp and games.
Ford played in the regular-season opener, but he missed the past two games with a hamstring injury. He said Monday that he is making solid progress and expects to play against the New England Patriots on Sunday.
For Mitchell, he is on the field with his teammates for the first time since early in training camp. He has been recovering from a knee injury that he suffered in a camp drill July 31.
That means Mitchell has been out of action for almost two months. It’s likely that he will need this week and, perhaps, next to get into football shape. It’s conceivable, though, that he will get limited action against the Patriots.
Free safety Michael Huff is at practice, too, which means he passed the requisite tests for players who suffer a concussion. That was the case with Huff against the New York Jets on Sunday.
Cornerback Chris Johnson is not at practice. He strained a hamstring against the Jets on the Raiders’ first defensive series and missed the rest of the game. He had a surgery on his groin midway through camp.
The only other players who missed practice are: receiver Louis Murphy (groin/hamstring), fullback Marcel Reece (ankle) and defensive end Matt Shaughnessy (shoulder).
Shaughnessy was in uniform, but he was not participating in drills. Murphy and Reece weren’t on the field at all. Rookie tight end Richard Gordon is working at fullback today in Reece’s absence.
Defensive back Ron Parker made his Raiders debut at practice today, two days after being signed to the team’s practice squad. He is wearing No. 36.
Nick Miller is returning punts in practice today, as is rookie Denarius Moore. Coach Hue Jackson replaced Miller with Moore against the Jets. No word yet on whether Jackson is going to stick with Moore or go back to Miller.

Aaron Hernandez (knee) was held out of Patriots practice Wednesday.
Hernandez told reporters early Wednesday that he’s shooting to play Sunday against Oakland, but the Pats don’t use players that don’t practice. It appears Hernandez has not yet been medically cleared to take the field.

What I don’t understand is, why would Al Davis hire Hue Jackson if he didn’t like his personality? Hue talks. That’s what he does. He’s a motivator. But as I understand it, Al would prefer his coaches to be as quiet as possible, and say as little as possible? Why hire him if you don’t like his personality as it is? Why hire someone and try to change them?

Several commenters in here, who are noted Davis supporters, criticized Jackson’s personality yesterday. It doesn’t make sense. I mean, why would Al hire Hue Jackson if Al didn’t like his personality? Al did the same thing with Shannahan, Gruden, and Kiffin. He hires these guys, even commends their aggressive style when he hires them, then he runs them out for it. And now you see his minions in here going after Hue Jackson’s talkative style. Great. Here we go again.

I do fear that we need to win a Super Bowl in the next couple of seasons because Hue will leave us for more money and go somewhere else, its not a matter of if its a matter of when.
We all know Al does not like to pay coaches big salaries and once Hue starts getting a lot of attention for what he has done here, just like Gruden offers will come.

September 28th, 2011 at 11:27 am
666, we know that much, that Al will never really pay Hue. If Hue really does sustain this success (it’s a tall order, with Al’s meddling), he’s going to be in demand. He’s NOT going to stay here for less than he’s worth. He’s not a Raider, per se. As in, the Raider “family”. He owes nothing to Al Davis. But I don’t think Hue’s going to last that long. I have a feeling by some of the blog comments I’m reading that Hue’s outward personality is tarting to wear on Al.

In Sunday’s Jets-Raiders game, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez got his nose broken by Raiders linebacker Kamerion Wimbley.
Wimbley was not called for a penalty. Jets coach Rex Ryan was not happy about that.
“I’m not sure on that one,” Ryan said. “Our guy gets a bloody, broken nose, I don’t think there was a flag.”
Ryan was left wondering how referee Gene Steratore didn’t throw the flag on Wimbley for hitting Sanchez in the face. Said Ryan sarcastically, “I think he must have gotten hit in the chest and broke his nose.”
Mike Pereira of FOX wrote, “I don’t blame Rex Ryan for being upset. I’d bet on the league office fining Wimbley.”

The thing is, if Al likes quiet, reserved coaches, why not just hire one? What’s with him hiring these coaches like Kiffin and Jackson, only to become agitated by their outward personalities? I mean, Al couldn’t see that when they came in to interview? Probably more reason we need a GM.
September 28th, 2011 at 11:31 am
Wimbley didnt get a flag because he didnt go after Sanchez’ head, Sanchez ducked into the hit. Watch it again, I actually think Sanchez ducked right into Wimbleys arm. It was clean as a whistle, and appropriately not flagged.

Patriots bring back Gerard Warren
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal (PFT)
Bill Belichick said Wednesday that letting go of Gerard Warren before the season was a “hard cut.”
On Wednesday, the team officially brought Warren back into the fold in an effort to help the league’s last-ranked defense.
Warren helps add depth to a group that was without Myron Pryor, Mike Wright, and Albert Haynesworth last week.
Pryor is out for the season and it’s uncertain when Haynesworth or Wright will return.

————————-
I see what you’re getting at but I think you’re painting with too broad a brush.
Gruden wasn’t traded because he “talked too much.” A lot of it was contractual and it just boils down to the fact that Al doesn’t pay head coaches what they should be worth.
Callahan was fired because he stopped winning, although the ‘dumbest team in America” comment surely didn’t help.
Kiffin WAS fired for talking too much, sure. But it wasn’t because he was exuding too much swagger and pride in the team and talking them up, but rather the opposite. Plus he wanted out anyway. You make it sound like he wanted to stick around. He didn’t.
Cable was promoted from within and got a fair shot. It’s debatable whether he should have been retained after going 8-8. Personally, I think he served his purpose and I appreciate what Tom did for the organization but he cearly couldn’t get points on the board like Hue can (with Hue’s own offense and not Kiffin’s — still laughable, by the way).
Hue is talking up the Raiders, has them in the right direction and calls Al “Coach” and gives him major props at every opportunity possible.
This one has been smashed.
Go work up something else.

C.J. may be the second best cb on the team if healthy, but he has not been healthy and has been hurting the team. I would rather go with a healthy young player who can go out there and compete than a hobbled C.J. who doesn’t have the speed or quickness to cover NFL recievers with his current health. I wouldn’t be surprised to see us play with seven db’s at times especially if our front 4 can get decent preasure.

Welker is who makes their entire system work. Not only does he post unbelievable numbers like you are quoting, but soooooo many of those receptions are third down or third down and long, or crucial catches. It’s been that way for years. Even when Moss was having his best year there, it was Welker who moved that offense.

Mike G,
Chekwa probably won’t cover Ocho, because he’s not a starter. Deion Branch starts opposite Welker
#85 will be covered by DVD or Joe Porter if CJ37 can’t go – which is fine. We could sign John Bowie off the street tomorrow and he’d shut down Chad the SuperDiva.
Stan doesn’t shadow anybody, unfortunately. Like Nnamdi – he shuts down one half of the field… which means Wes Welker will be covered by Chewy on the outside or DVD/JP in the slot on occasion
McCrohns just needs to worry about TE Gronkowski – Tyvon Branch too. I’m glad that Mike Huff will be ready to face N.E. because Welker will need to be doubled if he’s not covered by Routt

I don’t know why people are trying to create a contriversy between Hue Jackson and Al Davis. Al hired him because he believed his firey upbeet attitude as well as his offensive philosiphy would help turn the team around. What, now that it is working Al Davis is going to decide he doesn’t like it?

Little Nicky isnt coming anywhere near returning kicks.. Hue going to play his best players, and Miller more of a liability than anything.. Past 2 seasons he has done nothing but cause headaches. I’d rather have a DT return a kick than Miller.. I’d rather have Al Davis catch those kicks than Miller!

Aaron Hernandez (knee) was held out of Patriots practice Wednesday.
Hernandez told reporters early Wednesday that he’s shooting to play Sunday against Oakland, but the Pats don’t use players that don’t practice. It appears Hernandez has not yet been medically cleared to take the field. Regardless, the optimism suggests Hernandez will return sooner rather than later.

Several commenters in here, who are noted Davis supporters, criticized Jackson’s personality yesterday. It doesn’t make sense. I mean, why would Al hire Hue Jackson if Al didn’t like his personality? Al did the same thing with Shannahan, Gruden, and Kiffin. He hires these guys, even commends their aggressive style when he hires them, then he runs them out for it. And now you see his minions in here going after Hue Jackson’s talkative style. Great. Here we go again.

On the Jets’ biggest play of the game, a 74-yard catch-and-run by Tomlinson, it was a Burress block on Raiders cornerback Chris Johnson that sprung Tomlinson, turning what would have been about a 20-yard gain into an open-field sprint on which Tomlinson finally got pushed out of bounds at the 1-yard line.

============================================
Benjarvus Green-Ellis. He’s at best an average back. Right now, even behind that good NE Oline they are an average running team at best. Brady and that pass O is about a 100 yards a game better than the next closest team. I would not overly worry about Branch or 85. I would worry about Welker and Gronkowski tho.

It is constantly said that you could literally call some form of holding on pretty much EVERY PLAY in an NFL game.
But Burress holding in wide open space where he is literally grabbing and holding on to the Jersey in such a way that it spins around the receiver, was much more egregious then an iffy Boss holding call in the heart of the trenches!
It’s apples and oranges.

this is actually a pretty good plan. If you notice NE normally tears the league a new one, until later in the season when Welker is out or completely worn down from the punishment. Welker goes about 5′8″, 178. He is not a big guy by ANY stretch of the imagination. tough guy tho. Maybe having MM take a shot at him at the LOS might be a good idea.

Look, I hate to say it but Chad Johnson can;t be overlooked Seems as though over the course of the last few years, when somebody is looking for a breakout game, they can get it against the Raiders.
With that being said, have to contain their slot receivers and take your chances on the outside. I also expect a lot of draw plays out of the shotgun and screens.
McClain was pretty good against the screen pass last year, maybe his biggest strength and that was something that had bothered us for a loooong time (2009 Giants game comes to mind). McClain is going to have major responsibilities in Sunday’s game.
September 28th, 2011 at 12:33 pm

From Mary Paoletti from CSNNE
OXBORO — New England’s upcoming matchup against the Oakland Raiders is its second road game in as many weeks. For quarterback Tom Brady and seven other Patriots, it’s a free flight home.
Not like that will make the assignment easier.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been there,” Brady said Wednesday. “Last time I played there was ‘02, so I think my parents are the most happy. They don’t have to come very far this week. For us, it’s a road game, it’s an important one. So we’ve got to go out there and try to win.”
The teams last met in 2008, when the Patriots inflicted a 49-26 beating on the Raiders at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum. But the offensive firestorm — the four touchdown passes on four opening drives — is credited to Matt Cassel; Brady’s bum knee wrote it as such. He hasn’t faced the Raiders since a 30-20 win September 8, 2005. And he hasn’t visited The Black Hole since November 17, 2002 — a 27-20 loss.
“We haven’t played them — I haven’t played them — in a while, so it’s been kind of a crash course the last few days in getting to know them, getting to know their personnel, their schemes. But they’re very good. They play well at home. They’re very physical. They’re tough. They’re big. They’re fast. It’s always a certain type of player out there: big, tough, fast . . . It’s a good front. They’re good in the secondary. … It’s going to be a big challenge.”
Really.
The Raiders haven’t had a winning season since 2002; last year’s 8-8 record was a boon. But, as it was said about the Bills in Week 3, this team might be different. Oakland’s 2-1, coming off a 34-21 win over the Jets. The triumph, which started with a no-huddle first snap and two minute, 24 second 76-yard touchdown drive, was demoralizing for New York. Cornerback Darrelle Revis said Oakland’s opening “had us on our heels.” Nose tackle Sione Pouha called the game “embarrassing” and “humiliating.”
Raiders running back Darren McFadden plowed through the Jets for 171 yards and two touchdowns, abusing one of the AFC East’s top teams upped his average to 131 yards rushing per game.
If the Patriots don’t want to be pushed around by the “bully” Hue Jackson is building, they can’t just lean on their quarterback. Brady’s 1,327 passing yards through 2011’s first three games is an NFL record. But 387 were wasted in last week’s loss to Buffalo. Mark Sanchez’s 339 — part of 439 total yards of offense for the Jets — weren’t good enough to beat the Raiders.
A more complete game will need to be played in Oakland.
“I think the goal is to be pretty balanced in what we’re doing,” Brady said. “Just based on how the game’s played out, it’s kind of dictated a certain style of play. When we do run it we need to run it efficiently and effectively and when we throw it we have to do the same. We can’t turn the ball over. So whatever we need to do to get the ball in the end zone, we’ve got to do it well.”
Brady throwing four picks, as he did in Buffalo, is unlikely. New England’s defense giving up a 21-point lead would be less surprising. The Patriots give up a league-worst 468.7 yards on the ground per game, a stat McFadden must be drooling over. Their 377.0 average passing yards allowed also tops the NFL’s naughty list.
Better to look ahead, then.
“I think it’s really a fresh week for us,” Brady said. “Like I said, there’s nothing that we can do about what’s happened. We’re trying to bring a fresh, new plan, new energy, we’re trying to put it together against a damn good football team. We’re going to learn more about going on the road and playing a tough opponent than anything. … We’re trying to get a win.
“We’ve moved on from Sunday and we’re focused on what we need to do in our preparation,” Brady continued. “I think we’ve been studying the different challenges [Oakland] presents to us and we’re going to prepare hard like we always do and try to go out there and play well. There’s nothing we can do about last week. Certainly nothing we can do about next week. The only thing you can really do is focus on what we have ahead of us today.”
From here it looks like one hell of a homecoming.

my prediction of raiders 27 pats 20 is based mainly on 2 things. i think it will be slightly lower scoring than expected b/c the raiders will dominate time of possession w/ the run game. i do think they will hit some big strikes downfield though, with moore and ford doing considerable damage and possibly dhb catching a deep one. but then they will really grind it out w/ bush in the 2nd half (to keep dmc from being overworked, as i expect him to have a big 1st half). the 2nd factor is i think we will put a lot of pressure on brady. he’ll get some yardage of course but i could see a couple turnovers and possibly a brady beatdown leading to him leaving the game.

Several commenters in here, who are noted Davis supporters, criticized Jackson’s personality yesterday. It doesn’t make sense. I mean, why would Al hire Hue Jackson if Al didn’t like his personality? Al did the same thing with Shannahan, Gruden, and Kiffin. He hires these guys, even commends their aggressive style when he hires them, then he runs them out for it. And now you see his minions in here going after Hue Jackson’s talkative style. Great. Here we go again.

saw the pts game last night brady was awful! he made bone headed throw after bone headed throw. he looked as if he didnt have the patience to wait for a man to uncover in the zone. he repeatedly tried to force the ball down the middle of the field often into double coverage.
perhaps he is feeling the aftermath of losing his vertical threats. Just keep the wr group in front of you and tackle. They must methodically move with short passes dink and dunk, they dont have the goods to get over the top of our speed guys.
i would expect lots of 1 & 2 line backer sets from our defense, and lots of four man pressure. i would also love to see wimbly line up next to whichever defensive end is matched on solder, let wimbly stand next to him in the elephant. You can run stunts or delay blitz anything to put pressure on that rookie.

On the Jets’ biggest play of the game, a 74-yard catch-and-run by Tomlinson, it was a Burress block on Raiders cornerback Chris Johnson that sprung Tomlinson, turning what would have been about a 20-yard gain into an open-field sprint on which Tomlinson finally got pushed out of bounds at the 1-yard line.

So then we have to play SMART football. Chances are this will be a close game. So don’t give free yards and points to the Cheats by doing stupid stuff.
If the defender knows that he isn’t gonna get to Brady before he releases it, then he needs to put his hands up and try his hardest to bat that ball down!
That is much more effective and can do much more for us by creating potential turnovers than needlessly knocking Brady to the ground, chances are, he completes the pass anyway, and gets 15 yds tacked on to the end!
Now, by all means, if he hasn’t released the ball, or is in the act of throwing(Tuck Rule), KNOCK THE HELL OUT OF HIM BETWEEN THE NECK AND THE STOMACH!

wow…Its been about 9 years since bspn has had anything good to say about us. It’s good to be nationally relevant again. I’ll post the whole article in case some of you aren’t insiders.
One of the central themes of the excellent ESPN Films documentary “Catching Hell” was that Cubs fans believed the Steve Bartman interference play was a sign that the 2003 version of the team was just as cursed as all of its predecessors. It wasn’t anything special; it was just the same old Cubs.
That same thought may have crossed the minds of Raiders fans this season. Over the past few years, Oakland’s front office has frequently stockpiled the roster with talented players, but that talent hasn’t led to a stockpile of wins. Instead, those players have consistently failed to perform up to their talent level. The scoreboard has shown some of those same inconsistencies so far this year. Victories over Denver and the Jets were both impressive achievements, but in between was a contest against the Buffalo Bills that saw Oakland get out to a 21-3 halftime lead and then give up 35 second-half points on the way to losing 38-35.
A stretch like that might make Oakland fans wonder if this is the year the Silver and Black finally turn the corner or if this is simply another instance of the same old Raiders, blowing games they have the talent to win.
But after doing detailed game tape and metric analysis, it is clear this team is not the same old Raiders. In fact, it looks like a bona fide playoff contender.
The obvious place to start is to note the play of Darren McFadden. He has always been a dominant player (he was every bit as good as Jamaal Charles on a per-game basis the past three years) but his early MVP-like start is finally getting him the acclaim he deserves as one of the NFL’s best running backs.
But space may be opening for McFadden because of the progress quarterback Jason Campbell has made in his second year in coach Hue Jackson’s system. Campbell ranks in the top 10 in the league in both Total QBR and in passer rating.
Campbell has also made zero bad decisions (defined as when a quarterback makes a mistake with the ball that leads either to a turnover or a near turnover (such as a dropped interception or fumble recovered by the offense) this season, so it isn’t as if his numbers are the result of luck.
He’s not just throwing a bunch of safe passes, either — 31 percent of his throws have been of the vertical variety (vertical being defined as aerials thrown 11 or more yards downfield).
Raiders/Broncos
AP Photo/Jack DempseyJason Campbell is off to a great start in his second season in Hue Jackson’s season.
That Campbell is gaining 11.8 yards per attempt (YPA) on those vertical throws is impressive enough (only five quarterbacks last year finished the season with a vertical YPA that high), but what makes it even more notable is that it has been largely achieved without the services of Louis Murphy, Jacoby Ford and Kevin Boss. All three have missed significant time because of injury and yet Campbell and the offense have continued to thrive.
One reason Campbell is having success on downfield passes is the superb job the Raiders’ blocking wall has done in protecting him. Oakland has allowed only two sacks this season (a total that is tied for the lowest in the NFL) and one of those occurred on a fluke play when McFadden tripped Campbell while trying to make a block.
That Oakland has achieved this total while having a second-year player (Jared Veldheer) at left tackle and a rookie (Stefen Wisniewski) at left guard speaks volumes for how well this group has been coached.
The improvements are not limited to the offensive side of the ball, however.
No team allowed more rushing yards in 2008-10 than the Raiders, but this year they’ve done a very good job of stopping the run. They are presenting the opposing team with an unfavorable blocking situation 56.8 percent of the time. Only three teams posted a 50 percent or higher total in this metric last year, so Oakland is on an elite pace here.
The Raiders’ pass defense is also holding up despite losing the overrated Nnamdi Asomugha to free agency. Oakland ranks tied for seventh in YPA allowed (6.9), 13th in passer rating allowed (85.3) and is one of only six teams with at least 10 sacks.
So what has caused this turnaround? There are two main reasons.
It starts with the Raiders’ front office/scouting department. Over the past three years, the team has drafted numerous quality starters (Wisniewski, Veldheer, Ford, Rolando McClain, Matt Shaughnessy) as well as a slew of talented depth players (Denarius Moore, Chimdi Chekwa, DeMarcus Van Dyke, Taiwan Jones, Lamarr Houston). Al Davis has taken a lot of heat in recent years for drafting JaMarcus Russell with the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft, but very few front offices can match his team’s draft success rate over the past three years.
The second reason is Jackson. His hiring looks like a wise move on many levels. It gave Campbell a second season in the same system (something he had not had since high school) and allowed the team to tap into Jackson’s energy. He has the passion of a gospel preacher as well as a clear vision of what type of team he is trying to build.
And that, more than anything else, may be why this team is ready to break out. When talented young players are fired up to play for an enthusiastic coach, it can result in a lot of wins. For the 2011 Raiders, that formula could mean as many as 10 wins and a spot in the playoffs.

Mah-cus was still playing for the Raiders in ‘92 – after Bo Jackson’s injury and retirement – hence, “the best since Mah-cus” comment.
There is indeed a reason why Mah-cus was blocking for Bo…

Hear things are heating up again in Alameda. Seems Al doesn’t like Hue talking so much. Shameful. If Al pulls a Kiffin or Gruden on him, that’s it.
September 28th, 2011 at 1:52 pm
It would be nice to see, early in the game, a Welker meets RoMac collision – ala Darren Sproles version. Welker probably represents the Pats MVP connection with Brady. Having Welker removed from the game due to a PUP condition as a result of RoMac meet-up would be very rewarding.
Attn RoMac: It’s probably a sure thing that the Patriots TE is going to embarrass you sometime during the game. You can give a little payback by burying Welker when the opportunity presents itself. Just make sure every time he crosses the field he gets a giant smack reminding him that he’s in an area where people can get seriously hurt. If the Pats lose Welker for the day, 75% of their offense will be lost.

From Bill Williamson AFC West:
KC Joyner knows football. He knows trends and he can crunch a number with a maestro’s touch. Joyner doesn’t think the Oakland Raiders are going anywhere … other than, perhaps, the playoffs.
In an Insider piece, Joyner explains why he thinks the Raiders are a legitimate contender. Here is a passage from the piece:
After doing detailed game tape and metric analysis, it is clear this team is not the same old Raiders. In fact, it looks like a bona fide playoff contender.
It’s good stuff and completely believable. The Raiders are alive and well.

What’s funny is, Al hires these guys like Kiffin and Hue Jackson, and praises them when he hires them! He commends their forward personalities. Then, a short time later, he suddenly strips them of control. Now that we know he’s starting to become agitated at Hue’s personality, I wonder if we’re going to notice Hue having less control, too. More Al Davis signature stuff on both sides of the ball. We’ll see. I just can’t believe Al would do this again.

Mike G,
Chekwa probably won’t cover Ocho, because he’s not a starter. Deion Branch starts opposite Welker
#85 will be covered by DVD or Joe Porter if CJ37 can’t go – which is fine. We could sign John Bowie off the street tomorrow and he’d shut down Chad the SuperDiva.
Stan doesn’t shadow anybody, unfortunately. Like Nnamdi – he shuts down one half of the field… which means Wes Welker will be covered by Chewy on the outside or DVD/JP in the slot on occasion
McCrohns just needs to worry about TE Gronkowski – Tyvon Branch too. I’m glad that Mike Huff will be ready to face N.E. because Welker will need to be doubled if he’s not covered by Routt
++++++++++++++++++++++
Yep, thank you, I knew I was forgetting someone..This is perfect then. Put Branch on Ocho, have Routt shadow Welker (I know, I know) and Have Chimdi or DVD cover Gradkowski…We win the game..
The thing about the game is this.
We have a Very Good Offense, They Have a Great Passing Game…We have a Good Defense, They have one of the worst Defenses in the League..
If the D Shows up, we win this game. Throw in a couple 9 minute drives and its over. Feed them a Steady Diet of McFadden, Bush, Taiwan (screens all day to him and McFadd) and its over.

The D line probably won’t be getting to Brady often. He just gets the ball out on crossing routes very quickly. Our D line needs to shut down the crossing routes by using their arms, hands, legs, whatever and GET THEM UP TO BLOCK BRADY’S PASSING LANES. This will do more to disrupt Brady’s success than anything else. While the D-line is doing their thing, the LB’s need to violently redirect anyone coming into the pattern. Do that successfully and we should end up victorious.

Living in Mass I am subjected to the local media drooling over Brady and the Pats. One thing they keep saying is Pats haven’t lost 2 in a row in a long time, And Brady is a man “possesed” after last weeks loss.
I have this to say, If we can get a good hit on him in the 1st quarter he will go from possesed to tenative and hesitant.
I will also say if Raiders get the job done and win, Watch out because after the Texans we have a decrease in competition the next few games. We win this week and all the media will really start to believe. (not that I give an F what they think)
Go Raiders!
September 28th, 2011 at 2:01 pm

No team allowed more rushing yards in 2008-10 than the Raiders, but this year they’ve done a very good job of stopping the run. They are presenting the opposing team with an unfavorable blocking situation 56.8 percent of the time. Only three teams posted a 50 percent or higher total in this metric last year, so Oakland is on an elite pace here.
——————————————————
Tommy Kelly and RoMac crtics need to take notice.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:01 pm
One reason Campbell is having success on downfield passes is the superb job the Raiders’ blocking wall has done in protecting him. Oakland has allowed only two sacks this season (a total that is tied for the lowest in the NFL) and one of those occurred on a fluke play when McFadden tripped Campbell while trying to make a block.
That Oakland has achieved this total while having a second-year player (Jared Veldheer) at left tackle and a rookie (Stefen Wisniewski) at left guard speaks volumes for how well this group has been coached.

“Raiders Trade for CB, But It Might BackfireMarch 06, 1998|Chronicle
The Raiders took their first step yesterday toward improving the NFL’s worst defense, but it may not help. They traded a fourth-round pick in next month’s draft to New Orleans for cornerback Eric Allen, who immediately said he would retire rather than play for the Raiders because he did not consider them a playoff contender.
Allen, 32, a six-time Pro Bowler who spent most of his career with Philadelphia, never hit it off last season with Mike Ditka, the Saints’ new coach. A month ago, he gave the Saints a list of four teams to which he would accept a trade; the Raiders were not on it.”

two years ago we get blown out 38-0, sunday we win in dominatung fashion. Its a testament to the coaching of Hue Jackson and the acquisition of talent through FA and the draft of Al Davis. A lot of people criticized this draft (including me cuz i still think we coulda traded back in the 2nd and got wiz and an extra pick) but it may actually turn out to be better than last years. Many on here pointted out that Chekwa was a better corner than DVD right now and could man the spot opposite Routt. DVD will grow into the nickel position, TJ is going to be a stud, Moore has been a revelation, I loved the potential of Gordon and Ausberry when we drafted them, still hoping they push Meyers off of the roster.

September 28th, 2011 at 2:38 pm
Greatest thing I have read all day. Haters HAVE to admit we are good. LOL
==================================================
Welcome, Oakland, too. I do not embrace your inclusion as I do Buffalo’s, because I hate you. But if the first three weeks of this season have taught me anything, it’s that San Diego’s not going to change. They’re still very skilled, they’re still capable of beating anyone, and they’re still going to turn the ball over, make silly mistakes, play down to the level of their competition. I expect that some time before the bye week, they will all agree to stab themselves in the liver with a pair of salad tongs before a game, just to see what happens.
• This year’s beneficiary of San Diego’s refusal to be good is Oakland. I don’t know if it’s quite yet the bully that Hue Jackson wants to build, but it can run the ball. It gets more confident and more cohesive with every win. The Raiders are a quality football team. That will probably be enough in this division.

Like I said, anyone who believes Seymour’s reasons for being awol believes they’ve won a million dollars when that Ed McMahon letter shows up.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:41 pm
Seymour was not happy when he got traded here.
He’s happy now.
We don’t have JaMarcus, Cable, and Fargas as the three faces of the team nowadays.
What I’m curious about is, why did Belichick trade him? Was there a rift I never heard about? It’s a Super Bowl contending team, and a HOF player.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:42 pm

Hard to say. Maybe Bel whiffed on this one.

You have to admit New England would be something else if they had Seymour still.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:43 pm
Wonder what Bob Sanders contract was. Sounds like a 1 yr deal, and he’s done.
“All we wished for Bob was good health and hoped to turn him loose to do his thing, which was being one great, physical, highly-competitive player,” General Manager A.J. Smith said in a statement. “It didn’t work out for him or us, and we wish him the very best. He was with us a very short time, but made a positive impact with our team in many ways, and I’ll always appreciate that.”
The only thing that was not said was a WWE “we wish him well in his future endevours.”
September 28th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
Another early end for Bob Sanders
September 28th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
Notice how every player who signs with us or are traded to us were Raider fans as kids?
lol
But none of them will ever show you a picture of them as kid with a raider shirt or jersey on lol.
Players know what Al wants to hear.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:45 pm
Seymour had a very thinly veiled dig at New England by talking about how he was with a program where he was wanted, needed, and appreciated. He’s happy to be in Oakland. Book it.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:48 pm
got my Sanders answer from rotoworld. “7/29/2011: Signed a one-year, $2 million contract. The deal included an initial roster bonus of $1 million. 2011: $1 million, 2012: Free Agent”
September 28th, 2011 at 2:49 pm
Helping to bring this D back could help Sey if he wants to coach after his playing days.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:49 pm
At present, we have a better record than Philly and Seattle and we have a better defense than New England.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:49 pm

That sounds good to anyone who doesnt watch games.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:50 pm
While my buddy MR is here, I’d like to give a shout out from all TRUE Raider fans to the GM of the Raiders, for drafting Tyvon Branch, Denarius Moore, Matt Shaugnessy, Lamar Houston, and especially Darren McFadden. You got more out this years draft without a 1st round choice than 90% of the teams that had one. Thank you, Mr. GM, thank you.
Who is that GM, by the way? MR, do you know who it is? Dooooo ya?
September 28th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
Sey is a Raider now.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
The Pats were smart and got a first round pick for Seymour while he still had value and used the money they would have paid Seymour to sign the younger Wilfork to a contract. And they drafted a good young tackle with the pick.
Seymour has had a positive influence here, no doubt, but he certainly isn’t lighting the world on fire. He hasn’t even approached his 8 sack final season performance he had with the Pats.
Win-win for both teams at this point.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
Taking the Reggae Party Boat down to Mission Beach for a few days, gonna bust a ton of Mike Tais at Saska’s and party serious with some strippers staying at the Catamaran Resort.

September 28th, 2011 at 2:53 pm
The Seymour move is in the mold of a lot of others Al has made over the years, to take a guy who was on the outs with their respective teams, only to be brought to Oakland and shine once again.
If the Oakland Raiders are indeed back, Seymour and Hue are the two biggest reasons. Also, the young squad Al has assembled is growing up before our eyes.
MR, you’re running out of ammo.
We’ve drafted character guys and added a few veterans via trade or free agency. The dead weight is gone. Al is doing his thing. Here’s hoping he gets to see his team hoist another Lombardi Trophy before he goes to that big owner’s box in the sky.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:53 pm

Last few days your comments seem out of character for you.
I remember the days you screamed out for Cable to be fired and your proof was that HC record on many occasions.
Feat accomplished. Maybe you should find a new coach or,develop I must hate a player list.
I really know what’s going on, it’s the potential lost NBA season. Your probably wondering what your going to do to vent out those frustration nite in and nite out.
Cheer up, the NBA classic shows on BSPN are on and you can get Direc TV and purchase the Italian League games were Kobe will be playing.

September 28th, 2011 at 2:55 pm
“What I’m curious about is, why did Belichick trade him? Was there a rift I never heard about? It’s a Super Bowl contending team, and a HOF player.”
Yes Richy Rich held out twice on Bill and Mr Kraft and they don’t like it when you pull a power play on them. they like to be the ones in control.
so they shipped him off to Oakland to teach him a lesson and it backfired kind of how we sent Woodson to Green bay thinking it would not matter.
September 28th, 2011 at 2:55 pm
“Police arrest 26-year-old Massachusetts man for allegedly plotting to blow up the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol using a large radio-controlled aircraft, like the one shown left, and filling it with explosives.”
Anyone heard from Raider O recently?
September 28th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
It was a shrewd move on the part of New England, but I agree, it was a win-win.
We got a quality vet that has rubbed off on the team, D Line in particular.
They got a young O Lineman who should end up being pretty good and freed up some cash to sign some guys.
I think we probably have the edge being that we needed Seymour a lot more than they needed Solder.

There is tons to work with here. DHB. McClain, the defense. No worries I have lots to complain about to keep you guys on an even keel.
The lack of an NBA season is rather bothersome. I may have to watch hockey or, college basketball (boooooring).
I have been watching some classic NBA games….they had the Lakers-Mavs late 80s playoff series on recently and the Pistons-Lakers 1988 finals. Good stuff.
No decent books out right now….Conn Iggulden, William Dietrich, Robert Harris, Sam Barone, S. Thomas Russell, etc….all their new releases are closer to Christmas….already read all the classics….

Can’t believe it. Here we go again. Rumor has it Davis is agitated by Hue Jackson’s outward personality, wants Jackson to talk less. It’s starting again, folks.

September 28th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
I don’t think anyone has given him props for it, but I think Bruce Davis knocked the ball away from Cromartie just as it looked like Cromartie was going to recover that kick return.
Good job Bruce Davis THE THIRD!!!!

404. All good but its just one game.
I like the way we’re playing though.Getting it done with 2nds and 3rd manning the back half and by putting up copious points.
Have to admit I wasn’t sold on our O line. Thought it would falter but has played well so far.
Wonder what it says that Barksdale is seeing more time and B Campbell is not?
Either Cooper is playing too well (he seems to be) and or B Campbell not up on RT.
Barks has been filling there when Barnes goes extra TE in Jumbo pack
September 28th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Or is it Bruce Davis II, or IV, or Jr. Whatever.

It looks like Vick is finally showing his true colors. Flash in the pan athletic freak who can’t sustain a career. That’s the thing with black QBs. They show flashes of brilliance, then pizzle out. Warren Moon was great, that’s about it. Hopefully the Raiders come to their senses and move Pryor to tight end.

welp…..lil Tom married a brazilian tramp, calls herself a model, walks down a ramp,
Gisele has Tommie by the balls, she scolds him for misbehavior, he squalls and squalls…..
2009 was the end for lil Tom, has pass completions, but somehow he bombs…
once he’s roughed up, and gets his fanny kicked too, Gisele steps in, she’s no one’s fool….
has her foot on this throat, spike heel up his butt, he gives her lip she’ll crack his nut…
if the team wants the game they’ll break tommie’s nose, jam his face in the mud and crack his toes,
when his whore gets to screaching we’ll know we’ve won, won’t be hard, just get her done…
lil tommie gave his first born, its mommy’s last name,
he’s a coward and low-life, under that golden mane,
I say whoop him, and whoop him good, the Pats will fall just like they should…..
Just Lose Baby !!!! I out…….

That flash in the pan Mike Vick has been in the league almost ten years and is a wonderful player. So is Josh Freeman in Tampon Bay, and let’s not forget Donovan McNabb in addition to Warren Moon. Trash.

If your logic is true then all white people are psychotic because not many non whites shoot up malls or schools or all white people are perverts because the majority of pedophiles shown on the news are white and of course not all white people are such. By the way Jason Campbell has a top ten qb rating for the season

September 28th, 2011 at 5:02 pm
Once we’re past the next two games I think we match up very well.
New England will spread us pretty thin in the secondary with quick throws and our D-Line won’t have enough time to get to Brady.
Similar style to what we ran into with the Bills.
