WR/KR Jacoby Ford back working on kick returns
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, September 29th, 2011 at 10:50 am in Oakland Raiders.
Jacoby Ford spent most of his first day back working on getting back in the swing of playing wide receiver. On Thursday, he added kick return to his workload.
Ford missed the past two games with a hamstring strain. He returned the bulk of the kicks in practice today, as Nick Miller, Denarius Moore and Taiwan Jones looked on.
Toward the end, Jones returned a kick. Ford returned kicks in the regular-season opener. Miller replaced him against the Buffalo Bills. Jones handled the role against the New York Jets.
Raiders coach Hue Jackson said Wednesday that he will consider using Ford on kicks against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Jones is the logical candidate to return kicks if Jackson opts against taxing Ford in his first game back.
Free safety Michael Huff is at practice for the second straight day. That bodes well for his playing Sunday and not being bothered anymore by the concussion he suffered against the Jets.
Fullback Marcel Reece (ankle), defensive end Matt Shaughnessy (shoulder), wide receiver Louis Murphy (groin/hamstring), linebacker Ricky Brown (concussion) and cornerback Chris Johnson (hamstring) also are not at practice.
As of now, it appears a long-shot that Reece, Murphy and Johnson will be healthy enough to play Sunday. Brown won’t be cleared to practice until he passes the mandatory tests for players who suffer a concussion. Shaughnessy’s status is uncertain.
Three officials are presiding over practice once again. They have been out here for the Wednesday and Thursday practices the past three weeks on the heels of the Raiders committing 15 penalties in their first game.
Some might say the added attention is paying off. The Raiders cut down that figure to eight against the Bills and seven against the Jets.
Kicker Sebastian Janikowski was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for Septempber.
He tied the NFL record with a 63-yard field goal against the Broncos. He also had a 54-yarder off the dirt against the Jets.
Janikowski is the only player in NFL history with two field goals of 60 yards or longer. His first one came against the Cleveland Browns in 2009, when he connected from 61 yards.
In somewhat of a shocker, Moore wasn’t even considered for AFC Offensive Rookie of the Month despite two impressive games.

Interesting from JC off of raiders.com
Q: There’s a lot of buzz about this last week. Did you notice the change, like with Raider fans?
Jason Campbell: We try not to notice it because we have a lot to improve on as a team. We feel like we’ve got a long ways to go, the Patriots are coming in town and we know how quickly things can change. You win one, and you are the greatest teams in the world; you lose one, same old Raiders and that’s usually been said. Our mindset is to keep playing and keep getting better from week to week because we’re still a team that’s hungry, still a team that’s trying to get injured players back on the field; we’re still a team that didn’t complete a third down conversion last week and that’s something that can’t happen. So, there’s things we have to improve on – eliminate negative penalties, eliminate the personal foul penalties, so there’s a lot of things we have to improve on. So, we’re not trying to get caught up in things that have been said about our team. We appreciate the respect, but at the same time, we’ve got a ways to go.

Slow today. According to Hue, the team will be practicing in the morning the rest of the year, regardless of opponent or location.
September 29th, 2011 at 11:25 am
I know one thing about the Patriots…you start treating Brady like a ragdoll and they quit..Dude hates to get hit, pouts when he does and the whole team goes in the tank..
Our team will be totally dependent on our defense to get some bone crushing hits on Brady..if we can get some pressure up the middle in his face, and pound his a$$ into the ground for a few sacks or incomplete passes, these guys will tuck tail and cry about it all the way back to Foxboro…

September 29th, 2011 at 11:39 am
I dont understand why anyone would complain about chuck b. his defense has given us a chance to win all 3 games this year. had the players executed the scheme properly we would be 3-0 and the games we won would have been wins with larger margins.
as it stands teams dont know if we are rushing 4, or playing man, or covering zones. are we going to blitz, is it a db or an lb? what about the 5 d linemen sets he uses with wimbly standing in elephant next to houston.
Our dbs have been in position for several interceptions, and branch has been reborn. just wait until missle mike is up to speed.
we wont have to go 1 or 2 lbs against the spread because mm34 can play an lb role against that offense.
Chuck b’s scheme has been fun to watch when executed properly, and by years end the guys will have gelled and grown accustomed to assignments roles and concepts.
September 29th, 2011 at 11:40 am
Playing more zone is by necessity b/c of injury but, I think Rod Woodson has Al’s ear.

Lynn who knows why its working now, but we are in the top in sacks and we have forced 5 turnovers in 3 games. We have dropped 3picks and were robbed of a forced fumble. Sure we are giving up big yards and some big plays, but that is the players failing to tackle.
trust me this is the best defense we have seen here since 02.

Aaron Hernandez (knee) missed practice again on Thursday.
Hernandez’s return will have to wait one more week. Coach Bill Belichick doesn’t suit up players who don’t practice during the week.

We win if we can do the following.
1. Don’t let pretty boy get into a rythm
2. Contain Welker and Grankowski
3. Don’t give up any turnovers

The great thing about running a zone is that you can keep your eyes facing the line of scrimmage while in coverage as opposed to just turning your back and running with your guy…Easier to watch the QB and where he is looking and about to throw the ball, they actually get to see it released while in Zone..
Easiest way to tell if a Defense is in Zone is everyone is looking at their guy, in a zone, everyone is watching the QB…

Being from San Mateo, I was always a big Raiders fan. I honestly thought Al Davis was going to draft me in 2000, but I guess my 40 time wasn’t fast enough. At the time they had Bobby Hoying backing up Rich Gannon. He (Davis) might be the best talent scout in pro football, but he passed on me. I thought it would be cool to wear silver & black. I’m ready to prove Mr. Davis wrong by passing for 500 yards and 5 touchdowns this Sunday.

at that point we still had Jon Gruden as HC and we all know he did a bang up job.

Would Bill Belichick be considered a better HC candidate than Mike White or Joe Bugel after his Cleveland Browns HC stint?
probably not …
From 1991 until 1995, Belichick was the head coach of the Cleveland Browns. During his tenure in Cleveland he compiled a 36–44 record

Jon Gruden/Tom Brady. That could have been something special.

Amazingly, Raiders receiver Danarius Moore was not one of the finalists.
Cobb was named the rookie of the week for Week One, and Moore won the prize for Week Two.
So, basically, by omitting Moore from the nominees for rookie of the month, the NFL has essentially disregarded the will of the folks who cast a vote for rookie of the week, along with common sense. Moore has been one of the most dynamic offensive players in all of football, and he should have been recognized as one of the candidates for rookie of the month.
UPDATE 2:01 p.m. ET: We’re told that the teams nominate their players for these awards, and that the Raiders did not nominate Moore

jmeds,
I’m cool with Jones at KR & Moore at PR another week
but JFORD was a stud return man while healthy last season – obviously – and return duties in 2011 have been a big disappointment
With a team full of track stars and athletes, you’d think somebody could field a friggin kick past the 20 or return a punt further than 5 yards!
September 29th, 2011 at 12:53 pm
I’ve seen Brady several times say he grew up a 9er fan so he can go eat a sh!t sandwich.

Being from San Mateo, I was always a big Raiders fan. I honestly thought Al Davis was going to draft me in 2000, but I guess my 40 time wasn’t fast enough. At the time they had Bobby Hoying backing up Rich Gannon. He (Davis) might be the best talent scout in pro football, but he passed on me. I thought it would be cool to wear silver & black. I’m ready to prove Mr. Davis wrong by passing for 500 yards and 5 touchdowns this Sunday.

To be fair to Al Davis (not that he deserves it), Brady wasn’t exactly a blue chip draft choice. Little too much hindsight to knock the Raiders for not taking Brady. But that still doesn’t excuse taking a kicker in the first round, his record tying (or breaking…where was the spot?) field goal kicks not withstanding. We had Nedney, who was solid, and would have been just fine throughout the Gruden era.

We should hook up before the game and down some cold ones. Been trying to hook up w/ others, but the phone lines were acting up.
Sounds good… durbshot@comcast.net
I met B@UCE at the pre-season New Orleans game and Dirt Lot said that he will meet up with me around 10ish…I know B@UCE will be around with the clear Remy…

Every wide receiver adds their own skill and dimension to the Raiders and that has great advantages for the Raiders. It appears most defenses play off of DHB often. DHB should really concentrate on making the catch like a possession receiver,running his routes well and often coming back to the ball so avoid interceptions, running dragging routes across the field running away from coverage,then the run after the catch will open up for him.
Schilens is a complete beast. Man, did you see how competitive this guy is during the games. He is the Raider’s Hines Ward which often goes unnoticed.
Ford the field stretcher. He can go any where on the field and make plays. coming underneath the offense to makes catches short crossing patterns, go routes. Ford does it all!!!
D. moore the new phenom. The total talent!!! With the added dimension of going over the top. (Mr.Skywalkers.)
Hagen, (Mr.Dependable) mid route ready. He is always needed to keep the chains moving.
Can’t wait to get Murphy back either. He always has a fire burning in him and he can help also.

Every team in the league passed on Brady five times including N.E. They just got lucky. If they had know how good he would be they would have drafted him much sooner out of fear of someone else drafting him first. There was no great genious drafting him in the 6th round. Where did Johny Unites go, like the 19th round or something?

I’m pretty sure he’s right on all counts.
He would have thought it was cool to be drafted by the Raiders, especially with Gruden there and someone like Gannon to study under.
And, he probably will pass for 500 yards and 5 TDs Sunday. lol.

T. Jones is a playmaker too, we know what D. Moore can do. I want to see them both get a few more touches on special teams. Ford is the man though and he will get plays at WR. Hue knows how to create and takes risks. The perfect mix for this group. We are as deep as we have ever been in the last 8 years, in my opinion.

Someone please ask D. Moore
1. What was the atmosphere at the Raiders like compared to what he expected?
2. Has he actually talked to Al?
3. Does he like the area here and the fans?
Got to do the kid pick up thing at 3:30.

Ok I’m gonna say it. We should trade Murphy for Aaron Curry. We don’t need Murphy because this teams insanely deep at WR and terribly thin at LB. Whew…ok…I feel better now.
