CB Moore not coming back to Raiders anytime soon
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, October 5th, 2011 at 9:53 am in Oakland Raiders.
For those who aren’t following me on Twitter, just wanted to mention that cornerback Sterling Moore was signed by the New England Patriots and placed on their practice squad.
Moore was signed by the Raiders before training camp as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Methodist, and he remained on the team until the final roster cut. He was re-signed one day after he was cut and placed on the Raiders practice squad.
He was on Oakland’s practice squad until 10 days ago, when the Raiders released him and signed defensive back Ron Parker.
Moore, a local product out of Deer Valley High School, played well throughout camp and in Oakland’s four exhibition games. However, the Raiders opted to keep drafted rookies Chimdi Chekwa and DeMarcus Van Dyke, as well as Joe Porter instead.
I am headed out to practice in a few minutes. Stay tuned for several updates throughout the day, with the first one coming in about an hour.

LA to TheBay,
And thats the frustrating aspect about DHB, in college even, he leaps and makes this catches with his hands, the catch Sunday. Its like hes only focusing on athleticism at that moment, which is leaping, and doesnt overthink catching at that very moment, and comes down with the play. Yet a ball goes straight to his chest, and he leaps and tries to catch it with his stomach. This is a horrible habit that needs to be broken. Like I said, hes an amazing athlete, hes just not completely ready as a football player, and because of THAT alone, should not be starting. But Im not not a coach or a GM and any game he starts for the Raiders, I hope he pulls 150 yds and 3 TDS, Im just stating what Ive seen from him in 5+ years of watching him play football.

last years rushing champ (foster) vs this years rushing leader (DMAC), who wins? Does this stat decide the game?
October 5th, 2011 at 9:59 am
B@uce!
October 5th, 2011 at 10:00 am
Still mad about that…Porter? Has he done anything as of yet?

_____________________________
the reason Andre Johnson didn’t have huge games against us when he played was Nnamdi was on him Andre called Nnam the best corner. Throw Routt on Welker he’ll still have his catches but I’ll take my chances with Branch and Ochocinco being Brady’s primary targets, Gronkowski was covered well

#2, I agree.
Most frustrating thing with DHB was his inability to catch on the run because he was always jumping at the ball and trying to catch with his stomach.
Must say, so far this season, I’ve seen much improvement and he’s catching with his hands.
I think he will ultimately validate his starting for as long as he has.
He is getting valuable experience.

YES. With Johnson out, stack 8, focus on Foster, let the CBs cover. Stick to the run, unlike last week. Hou is still giving up 5.0 ypr, even though no one runs on them. This is a team we can, should, and I feel will beat.
October 5th, 2011 at 10:11 am
I’m going to the Houston game. I would feel better about this game if the raiders had beaten the patriots. Anyone else heading to that game
October 5th, 2011 at 10:12 am
Did he say several updates today?
October 5th, 2011 at 10:12 am
We need to beat Houston for so many reasons.
1. To get a W. Simple.
2. To keep pace with SD for Division title
3. To beat Houston, who we have like a 1-4 or 1-5 all time record against.
October 5th, 2011 at 10:13 am
Reece, CJ and Sho-Nasty not at practice. Murphy, Bush, and Huff are at practice

Trying to get there. Probably like a 25% chance.
October 5th, 2011 at 10:16 am
Yeah, we need Shaughnessy back in a major way to help with Foster.
October 5th, 2011 at 10:18 am
This game will be nothing like last year….everyone hangs their head on last year’s game……well we gonna win for two main reasons we didnt win last year and I’m gonna run it down
1) John Henderson missed last year’s game. Yeah he had a bad game vs NE but promise you he wont have two bad weeks in a row. Houston punked raiders with that zone blocking crap….that wont work this week when Hendu is in there…bank on it
2) Jason Campbell…..he didnt play in our loss when he should have been starting all along. He will bounce back and have a good game and not turn the ball over likethe 3 times Grad did last year
Raiders 35
Texans 17

October 5th, 2011 at 10:25 am
I hope Murph is on the field for about 4 plays..Dude has been out of the loop for months now. He is not even close to being ready..
Honestly, IMO..I would like to see us Trade Murph and a 3rd rounder for Aaron Curry…
I hate to speculate trades, but I think AL could make that work, especially if the Seahawks agreed to take on some of his salary..
We have too many WR’s, and not enough Athletic Linebackers..

I think i’ve seen him catch with his hands maybe two or three times this year…so yes improvement from practically zero last year. How he caught the deep one from Campbell in the 4th quarter was pure luck…it dropped perfectly between two defenders right in his bread basket…he didn’t even jump at all…Contrast to what Moore can do and go up and grab it at the highest point. People wonders why DHB doesn’t try to make a play on the deep throws by leaping up and grabbing it at the highest point…it’s because he doesnt’ trust his hands. His last drop in the fourth quarter to convert on 3rd down was ridiculous…and he tried to catch that one with his hands. Yes he’s improved, but he’s not even close to being the 4th best receiver on the team. We’re stuck with DHB taking time from our better receivers until Al Davis admits he made a mistake. I think it took Davis 3 years with Jamarcus so hopefully this will be the last year for DHB.

They’d have to cut Miller to promote Tonga. don’t think coaches are comfortable enough with Ford and/or Jones returning punts.

I disagree. I think he’s made several key catches and did so textbook style.
That being said, he should be behind Ford, Moore, and Hagan.

ohhhhhhh that’s right. So who gets cut to promote Tonga? Giordano? We’re thin at safety. Sorry, B. Looks like it may be Rock at FB (cringe).
October 5th, 2011 at 10:33 am
I would have bush play fullback. He has comparable hands to reece and he can probably block better then him. If he is willing to play fb is a different story.
October 5th, 2011 at 10:33 am
Gonna need to cut a guy in a week anyway for Pryor. So do we have two expendable guys? Maybe Meyers?

Cooper turnstile is on his last legs. He still makes too many ridiculos plays getting dmac slammed.
—————————
Book it was used on this blog long before you poked your head in here.
You need to go back and watch Bush’s first TD against the Pats and look at the person leading on that play.
Stick to offering opinion and endless pearls of praise for JC. You at least have your talking points memorized to a decent degree and don’t sound completely ignorant.
……………
First of all don’t worry about me or my opinion. Second go to the play at the goal line with bush’s td. Carlisle did squat on that play zero! It was b Campbell that slanted his block toward the center and collapsed the entire side of the defense. Carlisle waltzed into the end zone an touched noone until bush was already in for the score.
He has been serviceable at times and pushed around at others. Too many times he gets slammed on his back. On one play vs the patsies he was dominated at the line & was bull rushed right into dmac! He ended up on top of dmac on the ground in the backfield. He is decent in pass protection but he gets punked in the run game.
October 5th, 2011 at 10:40 am
Carlisle is not that dude to run a Power Blocking scheme through.
290lbs and like 30 something years old? Naw that ain’t gonna cut it.
I feel the same way about Satele, but he has played much better this year. But soon, we are gonna need to upgrade him too.

………….
The catch on the deep ball had nothing to do with luck, it was hard work paying off on gameday. He set up the db then blew by him. He was hand fighting with the ball in flight. He didnt stop his feet & try to jump, he instead ran through the ball to catch it in stride. He kept his concentration with a safety bearing down & the db hanging all over him. He caught it over the shoulder & even as the db tried to rip it away he muscled the ball into his body and stayed on his feet, trampling the db and nearly broke by the safety.
The kid has improved & hasn’t even come close to maxing out yet. He is learning on the fly, it’s paying off.
October 5th, 2011 at 10:48 am
Good post desk… ad should cut bait with dhb ASAP… that Guy is taking valuable playing time from better wide receivers. … let this season be a make or break for that Guy… so far its Break!!
October 5th, 2011 at 10:53 am
Mistic…. I bet your going to be celebrating popping a bottle of champagne after dhb gets lucky and scores his first touch down of the season…. LOL.. well maybe you should take a look at the rookie dmoore. .. he already has 3 for the season…I can’t wait for you dhb supporters to stretch out your peacock wings when actually does something big… because up til now that Guy has played a lot and hasn’t done sh!t!! Period!!
October 5th, 2011 at 10:55 am
Learning on the fly…Lmao.. its his 3rd season… dmoore. . Is learning on the fly!! Brain dead!!
October 5th, 2011 at 11:06 am
Listen guys I don’t have time for debate but let me sya this quick and go. DHB is by no means even close to what he will eventually be and yet he is still drawing teams best DB and drawing PI’s as well. If you go back and watch how Revis covered DHB and all the tricks he used to do so. DHB is still in his infant stages as a NFL rec’r no doubt that much is obvious but if he contin ues to improve over the course of this year and into next year he is going to be a hand full in fact he already is and he still doesn’t knwo what he’s doing. DHB plays the game FAIR and as a rec’r in this league you cannot do that. he doesn’t know enough to use the tricks that Fitz and polished rec’s use to get open. None of our rec’s know how to do it their learning and it shows on JC’s face when he wants them to do something quick so he can let go of the ball. DHB was mugged in the endzone as was Ford and no call. They don’t know the tricks of the trade yet. DHB has never played basketball much because he doesn’t use his body like he should he’s 6′2″ 220 when he’s cutting in and out of breaks he does push off all great rec’s push off to get separation. All great DB’s hold to close that gap he needs to use his hands more to ward off the DB and gain balance coming out of cuts. He plays too clean and he needs to cheat more. All our guys need to do it. As I’ve said about our rec’s they are ALL just learning the game and in the NFL it’s very physical and hard for them to adjust to taht’s why it takes so long for WR’s in this league. The defenses are very complicated and the players are ALL great even the average players are great.
When they start to put together all the things that make great players great you’ll see a huge jump in consistency and production. But it just takes time. Our young talented Moore was being manhandled thus he could get open for JC I saw one play when JC took a 5 step drop and wanted to release to Hagan because he was teh primary and his back was still turned to JC so he had to throw it out of bounds. If you watch Welker he’s in and out of cuts so fast Brady can cut loose immediately the same is true with Gronkowski they get immediate separation. When you see JC pumping it’s because his rec’s take too long to get open and that has to change for us to be great……….period
Ford has to read immediately and come open within 1.5 seconds so he can release the ball when he does that this offense will take off. Given he is in the slot as he has been so far.
