Coach Jackson not running from run-stopping issue
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, October 5th, 2011 at 2:39 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Stopping the run has been an issue around these parts for almost as long as the penalties problem. That’s going to end, Raiders coach Hue Jackson said Wednesday afternoon.
The Raiders enter Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans as the fourth-worst team against the run, at an average of 136 yards per game. Worse, they are last, by far, at an average of 5.9 yards per carry.
Just as he promised to rein in the penalties before long, even if it takes all season, Jackson said the run-stopping issue is going to be resolved come hell or heads rolling.
“I know this: we ain’t solved it, and that’s the bottom line,” Jackson said. “At the end of the day, we’re still getting the ball run at us, OK? We have to get that solved. It’s not going to go on for 16 games, I promise you that.”
Jackson said it’s no secret what the Texans intend to do Sunday when they play the Raiders.
“I’m running the ball,” Jackson said, if he were coaching the Texans. “I’m running the ball until I can get them to make me stop running the ball. With that back and that offensive line, in their stadium, I would. Wouldn’t you?”
The Texans are second in the AFC in rushing at an average of 148.5 yards — the Raiders are first in the league at 178.5 — and fourth in the league.
The Texans might be even higher in the rushing stats were it not for lead back Arian Foster missing all of two games and a large chunk of another with a hamstring injury.
Foster is back at full strength and fresh from a 155-yard effort against the Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday.
Defensive end Jarvis Moss said the Raiders have the players to be successful against the run.
“It’s about everybody being on one beat,” Moss said. “I feel like everybody knows what to do and where to fit but in the midst of chaos and full speed on Sunday, it’s about being one heartbeat. And that’s just going to come as the weeks go along, if we keep working at it in practice.”
Jackson said he is aware of the problems the Raiders have had against the run the past eight seasons. He is more intent upon worrying about what’s taking place this season.
Desire isn’t an issue, Jackson said. The cause lies elsewhere.
“I’m not going to say our players don’t have desire, because I know they do,” Jackson said. “I don’t think any player on our team wants the ball being run at them like that, and I’m not going to tell you it’s scheme. You’re going to take out of it what you want.
“Here’s the deal. You got to get it solved. We got to get it stopped. That’s what we’ve got to do. We must quit letting people run the ball at us like people have.”
When Jackson talks, his players listen.
Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said Jackson isn’t sugarcoating his disdain for how the lack of success against the run through four games.
“He goes straight to the point,” Kelly said. “He tells us how we messed up. You really don’t want to get on Hue’s bad side, you know what I’m saying? You try to keep him happy as much as possible. You can’t keep him happy 100 percent, but if I can keep him happy 80-85 (percent), I’m good.”
MURPHY BACK IN THE MIX
Wide receiver Louis Murphy is back on the field with the rest of his teammates for the first time in more than two months.
Now it’s a matter of seeing how quickly he can get back into the swing of things in terms of playing in games. He has yet to play in a game of any kind this season.
Jackson said he is eager to find ways to use all of his receivers. If Murphy plays Sunday, it will be the first time he has had all six of his receivers at his disposal this season.
“Now that we’re getting our guys back, there are quite a few things that I would like to do,” Jackson said. “Once I can get all these Lamborghinis and Mercedes Benzes out here, and get them moving around as a unit and playing together and playing off each other, we can start to explore and do more things.”
Murphy was Oakland’s most productive wide receiver each of the past two seasons. Campbell is well aware of that, and he is thrilled to see the No. 18 jersey in the huddle.
“It’s been a long road for him, and he’s definitely excited to get back out there and contribute to the team,” Campbell said. “It feels good to have all the guys back.”
Jackson said that the return of Ford last week and Murphy this week will not cut in to the playing time of rookie Denarius Moore.
HEYWARD-BEY GROWING BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS
Third-year receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey is fresh from a career-best 115 yards receiving. Most impressive, he made an over-the-shoulder, 58-yard reception, in double coverage against the New England Patriots.
That one play is further evidence that Heyward-Bey is making progress toward developing into a consistent performer, Campbell said.
“(That) and the one he caught on the sideline, with a safety bee-lining straight at him, and he didn’t take his focus off or worry about getting hit,” Campbell said. “He just went up and caught the ball. Darrius has grown into that. It’s all about concentration and focus.”
Another sign of Heyward-Bey’s maturation into a reliable receiver is the way he catches the ball these days, Campbell said. It is becoming more natural.
“He’s getting better at locating the ball with his hands and eyes,” Campbell said. “That’s the most important thing as a receiver, the location of the ball and being able to react. So, he’s reacting quicker to catching the ball and that’s where it’s coming from.”
CAMPBELL NO SAD SACK
Campbell has been sacked only twice in four games. More impressive, one of those sacks came as a result of him getting his feet tangled with McFadden.
This is the best four-game stretch during Campbell’s career, he said, in terms of pass protection.
“This is the best it’s been,” Campbell said. “A lot of it has to do with the offensive line taking a lot of pride in protecting the quarterback and running backs. They do an outstanding job. The other part of it is, our receivers create separation, and me getting the ball out of my hands.”
Left offensive tackle Jared Veldheer said he and his linemates realize the importance of protecting Campbell and that the reward comes in the form of big plays.
“We know we just want to keep him up because we know if we keep him up, give him time, we’ve got plenty of playmakers down the field that can do great things,” Veldheer said. “And we’ve all just bought into that.”
NO WHINING HERE
Now that the Raiders have six healthy wide receivers, it’s going to be difficult for all of them to get as much playing time as they desire.
Fortunately for the Raiders, none of the six has a history of complaining about playing time and balls thrown his way. That makes Campbell’s job much easier, he said.
“That’s big,” Campbell said. “You have a bunch of guys that’s not complaining about who gets the ball and who’s this, it’s huge for our team. Unselfishness is what helps you win games. At the end of the year, when you look back on it, a lot of guys will be where they thought they should be.”
INJURIES UPDATE
Jackson said free safety Michael Huff (concussion) is doing better and getting closer to playing in a game. Huff sat out the Patriots game as a result of lingering symptoms from the concussion he suffered against the New York Jets.
Defensive end Matt Shaughnessy missed practice Wednesday. However, Jackson isn’t ruling out Shaughnessy for the Texans game.
“We’ll see,” Jackson said.
RAIDERS FILL OUT PRACTICE SQUAD
The Raiders signed running back Nic Grigsby and added him to their practice squad Wednesday. That gives them the full complement of eight players on the practice squad.
Grigsby, 5-feet-11 and 200 pounds, played at the Universiy of Arizona. He was with the Miami Dolphins training camp and later signed to their practice squad. He said he was cut by the Dolphins on Monday.
He rushed for 533 yards and eight touchdowns his senior season at Arizona. Overall, he amassed 2,957 yards and 28 touchdowns during his four-year career with the Wildcats.
In a strange twist, Grigsby worked out with Foster during the offseason and envisions following the path Foster blazed.
“His story is ridiculous,” Grigsby said. “It’s the same thing. He was undrafted, too, and was on the practice squad for a whole year. Through injury, he got his shot and didn’t let it go. He told me to keep practicing, keep trying. I know what my ability is. I can play with my ability in the NFL.”
MOSS MUM ON CHAT WITH MR. DAVIS
Moss said via Twitter on Tuesday that he received an out-of-the-blue phone call from managing general partner Al Davis.
Moss labeled the call as a humbling experience. On Wednesday, he declined to discuss the details of the conversation.

IMO, DHB is going to make himself great not Hue. Hard work and exremely gifted. The DHB haters need to take the glue away from their noses. DHB and Moore are our 2 best receivers. I wouldn’t be shocked if Chaz or Hagan gets dumped for Pryor. At this point I would prefer Chaz, which is really sad. I think he’s blown his opportunity with the injuries If CJ is Megatron, Moore is Optimus Prime.
——————————————
All of a sudden anybody who may think DHB is the fourth best WR on the team is a hater. We just don’t want the dude starting, that’s all. Let Hue and Davis work the project without jeopardizing wins.
***********************
My statement wasn’t directed at anyone in particular. Alot of posters have opinions in here that they try to state as fact. “He will never… He can’t….” Those are OPINIONS from people hating on particular players for whatever reasons. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but that’s all they are. The facts will present themselves as the season progresses in the form of stats and wins and loses. IMO, I think DHB, Moore and Ford give us our best chance for success.

Good morning.
First pick wasn’t bad, just not really excited about it. At first I was on the McClain bandwagon, but then you watch his highlights and nothing special pops out, and then you heard the rumors of Crohns, but that turned out to be bunk. Then Charlie Casserly on path to the draft said he didn’t see McClain make very many big plays and that he doesn’t shed blockers very well….sounds a lot like Morrison.
But I hope his high football IQ puts him in position to make plays that Morrison can’t and I hope he is the captain of the defense by year two and making all the calls. Hope he becomes a team leader that we need so badly.
Still no real NT and still no o-line help…hopefully one will be addressed in round 2.

Cmon man, DHB was due for that over the shoulder catch. You get the ball thrown your way 8 times per game you will one day make a nice catch. Didn’t take Ford or Moore 3 years to get a nice catch. heck I think Kenny Shedd had a couple of those with lot less opportunities.

LA, yes, we can splice down the definition of government all day long. But let’s come up with a solution instead of waving our light sabers around and proving how advanced of government courses we took in school. The private sector, big business, particularly, seems to have cold feet when it comes to investing in green energies. What would be so wrong with government, whatever government is, taking the leading step since they won’t do it? It’s not socialism. It’s competition. And if the private sector had been at the forefront of this green evolution instead of sabotaging it at every angle to protect their own monopolies, government wouldn’t need to take this measure, would they? Bottom line, something has to be done.

I’m still wondering WTF we were doing throwing the ball on Campbell’s endzone pick. It was first and goal from the 6. We ran a shotgun draw with Bush on first down, and I can’t knock that too much, but it didn’t gain anything. 2nd down is supposed to be another run in a power formation. Hue knew we had the momentum before that play, and once we got that close, only a pick could give it back to ‘em. We’re all geniuses in hindsight, so I’m not gonna act like I knew all along what we should’ve done, but McFadden should be touching the rock on either first and 2nd down inside the goal-line; especially outside the 5 yard line – period (and I’m Bush’s biggest fan saying that).

DRX TACKLING RANT:
If Raids actually practiced tackling I would listen.
Everyone wrights off practicing tackling in the NFL. They should already know how to tackle once they enter this league, blah, blah, bullsh!t. My own lying eyes.
This team needs full pad practices daily/weakly, fug injuries next dude up. Then they would know how to tackle.
Name another sport that the players can’t practice what they actually do in game?
They are so big and powerful they can not withstand practicing tackling with each other?
Then Coach Al needs to pay a boat load of semipros to “stand” in at practice, so these mfkr’s learn how to tackle someone.
The league forgot how to tackle once the “big hit” became preferable..

October 5th, 2011 at 3:44 pm
The overall results speak for themselves. Yeah, some say I’m negative. But I’m right more often than anyone else here. That must mean the Raiders have something negative going on with them, and I’m just seeing it.
October 5th, 2011 at 3:44 pm
If Rolando Bosworth can’t get his act together quickly and become a real “Mike” MLB then kick him to the curb and let him go out knocking on doors with his fellow whatever they are called. When/if he gets to my door I’ll just tell him that “I gave at the office” and “oh by the way, he’s right up there with JaLoser”. If nothing else, we seem to have perfected the ability to pick 1st round BUSTS. It very well may be that he might be fine in a 3-4 but in a 4-3 he’s out of his league – at least so far. If I didn’t know better, I’d think he was hitting the purple drank. He seems out of condition, he runs out of gas, he tackles poorly, takes bad angles, can’t extricate himself from blocks, all the things a LB let alone MLB should not do. I’m not sure he will ever be a good or great MLB. That position requires a level of crazy & intensity and I’m not sure his religion allows that. I’m thinking we use our 1st round pick next year on the best 4-3 “Mike” MLB out there. The name of Vontaze Burfict has been mentioned as a possibility. He looks good on some of his YouTube highlights. kind of the crazed dog we’re looking for.

My best guess is, whoever that was who started recording predictions probably bought into the idea that the Raiders would be a 14-2 team and march right to the Super Bowl. So they figured they’d expose the skeptics by logging their predictions as to how bad the team would do. Now that the skeptics turned out to be right, me in particular, as I’m in first place, suddenly you guys want to knock the contest? It wasn’t my idea! lol.

2 Seabass FGs, 1 Boss TD, 2 DMC Tds
1 Rackers FG, 1 O. Daniels TD, 1 Casey TD, 1 Foster TD
===
I hope DMAC can get 2 TD’s, he gets pulled for Bush on those short ones, which is fine a TD for S&B is all good but he could have a heap more, lead the league etc..
I Hope he can go for 140ish yards and move up to 600 through 5.. + the bigggg W on top

Your prediction again I believe is 4-12. The win/loss column seems to be at 2-2.

October 5th, 2011 at 3:57 pm
Ok, You’ve come to a Raider blog and found that we are not all objective. What a surprise. Who knew that we would all be influenced by the fact that we all are die hard Raider fans.
You present yourself as this brilliant predictor. As if your accomplishment here was something to be wowed by.
Its not. It’s easy. You’ll pick the Raiders to lose, you’ll be the only one. If they lose, you win. Not impressive. And by the way, your prediction in week 2 was Bills 28, Raiders 17. Again, way way off as far as the score went.
Not very impressive at all.

Obvious run downs, when you are playing a team giving up 5.9ypc is ANY down not 3rd and longer than 6.
You have NEVER posted anything that would remotely resemble knowledge of football beyond what my 4 year niece could recite. I would expect you to be able to comprehend when using a defense specifically designed to stop the run would be appropriate.

OK, BCZ, I’ve heard of a game where you run the ball, for instance, when you’re playing a team that’s bad against the run. that seems to be your stand alone example as to what an obvious run “DOWN” is. You said down. I’ve never heard of an obvious run “down” in the NFL. An actual play where you’re 120% sure it’s going to be a run. There’s no such thing as it in this league. None whatsoever. There are obvious passing downs, but no obvious run downs. Quit this one while you’re ahead, kiddo.

SOUTH BEND – As the unofficial barber of the Notre Dame football team, Carlo Calabrese doesn’t usually feel the need to go chasing clients.
He’s made an exception in fellow weakside linebacker Dan Fox’s case and his beyond-shoulder-length hair.
“Nope, he won’t let me,” the 6-foot-1, 245-pounder from Verona, N.J. said. “It just keeps growing.”
So does their friendship, despite the fact the two juniors now time-share the same position.
“We’re boys, hang out all the time, joke around, dis each other,” Calabrese said.
Whatever they’re doing, it seems to be working. They’ve combined for 30 tackles – 15 each – for the best tackle production from any position on the team this side of All-America candidate middle linebacker Manti Te’o (41).
Calabrese owned the position at the beginning of last season, beating out, most notably, Anthony McDonald, when the latter player suffered an injury during August training camp.
He went on to start the first eight games of 2010, and put up big tackle numbers, but struggled in the passing game. In the eighth game of the season, a double-digit loss to Navy, a hamstring injury halted his progress in more ways than one.
Ironically, Fox – a high school safety who had been trying to get on the field as an outside linebacker – was inserted as Calabrese’s replacement. He responded with a career-high seven tackles in less than a half, but the Irish coaches weren’t sold on him as a long-term solution.
They moved then-senior Brian Smith from outside linebacker to Calabrese’s spot inside, and Smith responded with the best stretch of football of his career.
When Calabrese returned after a two-game absence, he became an afterthought, recording just a total of three tackles in his final three games after amassing 57 in his first eight.
Fox was a surprise challenger in the spring and shored up his run defense enough over the summer to prompt ND head coach Brian Kelly to go with a tag team. And that’s the way he intends to keep it the rest of the season.
“I think if you look at our schedule, there aren’t any games where you don’t have to play the whole game,” he said. “Manti (for instance) is playing way too many snaps. So it’s important to develop what we have at (weakside linebacker) at a number of positions on defense.”
And the split isn’t just obvious running downs for Calabrese and obvious passing downs for Fox. In fact, Calabrese was on the field for Pitt’s last offensive gasp Saturday in a 15-12 Irish win and knocked away a fourth-down pass for the first pass breakup of his career.
“Everyone says that my pass coverage is the weakest part of my game, but over the summer and through spring ball, I’ve been working on that,” Calabrese said.
And he’s worked on Fox to the point that if/when he cuts his hair next, Calabrese will be his first call.
“I’m going to do the honors,” Calabrese said.

Being up on a team still isn’t an “obvious” run situation, Brien. Belichick dialed up a deep one on us when the game was clearly out of reach. And of course, speaking to that example, it would be when the game is all but over, anyway. But there’s still no obvious run situation in the NFL. Only obvious passing situations.

By Arthur Arkush
Colts vice chairman Bill Polian hinted late last season that his club could be more active pursuing other teams’ free agents this offseason. Although the Colts didn’t exactly set the world on fire with their free-agent moves, they did add several players who fit what they do well and have intriguing upside. Among the additions is former Falcons DE Jamaal Anderson, the eighth overall pick in the 2007 draft. Anderson was widely regarded as a bust in Atlanta, mustering only 4 ½ sacks in his first four seasons. But he wasn’t brought to the Colts to be a pass rusher; his main responsibility in Indianapolis will be to spell Pro Bowl DEs Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis on obvious run downs. We hear Anderson could be a new version of former Colt Raheem Brock. The versatile Brock, who played inside and outside, was occasionally dropped from tackle into pass coverage. At 6-foot-6, Anderson also could be very effective crowding passing lanes.

Obvious: easily discovered, seen, or understood.
Sullivan, i think you do not fully understand the definition of this word. It does not mean “always”. It is not a guarantee that a running play will, without fail, ensue. It means that a team is expected or understood to run.
3rd and short against any run heavy offense (us, the jets, kc, Jax, Ten…) would be an “obvious running down”. This of course does not mean that they are, by definition, going to run. It does mean, however, that they are expected to run. As a result, other teams place their run stuffing units in (think man…when do we put hendu in? it aint on passing downs). Sometimes it means that the offense does play action, trying to exploit this expectation. Hope that helps your confusion and befuddlement.

What’s different now then the last few years? Hu Jack has the full support of Al Davis & the fact that they run the show together forces a culture change. The unique relationship between coach & owner is in fact a strength of the team as opposed to coffins final year or cables tenure.
There are no rumors of hu jack being fired, the perception now is that Davis is pleased with his latest hand picked head coach. The players are forced lift their level of play or they know they won’t be here next year. Hu jack having success wit al’s players is huge, the fact they believe in the same offensive system is even bigger. Unlike kiffen & cable, our new head coach has much more trust from the old man. It appears that hu jack actually wants to restore the raider brand, Davis is doing his best to make it work. Davis gets the players, considers hu jack & saunders input & makes the call. Davis then gives hu jack as much autonomy with running his team as any coach i have seen since gruden. This creates a completely different dynamic. This team is only just beginning to grow under the new plan, they will continue to get better this year & the next. Ease up these you g guys under hu jack & Davis will challenge for a super bowl in the near future. The process usually takes 2-3 years. Trust the process .

Zone blocking to perfection on offense. Schaub has a quick release. Arian Foster is a beast. Missing the second best WR in the league right now though. Can stack the box against Foster & hope Routt/Chekwa can run with their 2nd/3rd guys.
Defense switched to the 3-4 this year. Remarkably smooth transition. Mario Williams, Antonio Smith and JJ Watt are nightmares. Secondary can be thrown on still; missing a starting CB
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx
PA, excellent post and assessment. I think this is where we will need Reece on offense. Not for his blocking but because we need him to alleviate some of that pressure we are gonna see by routing him out into the flat or an OLB’s zone. I think we need to have some Y packages and be ready to get the ball out quick, if need be. Having all our WR’s back may not help if play’s can’t develop.

But let me show you whats in my crystal ball….Once Hue Jack gets a playoff win he will be considered the newest hot coach in the NFL. Probably win coach of the year all the talking heads will be saying how great this guy is to be able to work under these conditions and build a winner.
Then Notre Dame will need a head coach and the rumors will start. Hue will realize that he is worth 7 million a year and ask Al for a raise. Our owner does not like to pay coaches….now what?

Big test for none other than McClain and our OLB’s. That Texan ZBS was opening it up wide for Foster and Tate last week. Yes, it is imperative that we stay balanced during pursuit and tackle cause we aren’t getting many second chances at Foster.

We have a team that is 2-2, when everybody thought we would be 1-3. Our qb has given us the best qb play we heck seen in a decade. We have dmac who had become one of the most dangerous play makers in the entire NFL. Now another one of our young draft picks is on the cusp, begininning to figure it out & produce on the field on Sunday in DHB. Our qb has the receiver core in check! This young group is clearly responding to jc’s leadership and play making ability.
Jc coming out & publicly covering for his guy, showed leadership. At the same time he has you can see the result of the work they have done together on the field. There are 3 areas I have noticed where they have been building a real chemistry. We saw last year the stop routes on the sidelines. This has been a staple & continues this year. Now we see the jump ball or ally oop. Jc finds DHB on the sideline either medium range or deep & throws it up, DHB will stop his feet turn & out jump the dbs’ while facing his qb & snatch the ball away. We saw it going back to preseason vs the saints. Now we see a new wrinkle DHB runs under the ball catching it over the shoulder.
Ford & campbell had a solid rthym last year, he will get healthy & he is another guy jc looks for. Then of course Moore has been our best wr since camp & without doubt someone jc wants to go to.
We have owner coach qb wr group all pulling in the same direction. This is powerful stuff.

I agree some pros would rather be doing something else that football and do not live for the game. Then, you got current guys like Ray Lewis and Andre Johnson that you can’t keep off the field even when hurt. I think the key is in identifying these types, gauging their talent, and getting them on your team to prevent signing the “other ” type of player.
I blame the NFL and the PU for letting that rule go into league law. Coaches being held in a “coaching pen” on the practice field, watching a timeclock to know when they can start and have to end practice?! ridiculous and binding….

There will be no rift. As long as hu jack wins DAVIS WILL PAY HIM. I strongly beige Davis knows he can’t go another 10 years looking for another young dynamic coach, then another two or three years buliding the new team. Davis’s own history proves that these guys don’t come along so often. The deal is Davis has been around for so long he has personally witnessed it 3 or four times for the raiders. We know Davis is well aware of his own legacy, I’m sure he will pay to keep a coach at this stage if he bid re this coach will take him for o e more silver & black roller coaster ride to glory.

McClain is getting absorbed by opposing offensive lines and when he is close to making a play he is way out of position and takes bad angles due to his over pursuing….his fellow outside linebackers aren’t helping at all… Wimbley has dissappeared, and groves lost his mojo after week 1….. Our defense looks dazed and confused and couldn’t even make an adjustment on Welker this last game…. They knew what Brady was gonna do coming into the game and just never adjusted properly…. Our defense is horrible thru 4 games…. Looks like bad coaching all the way and u can’t hide that when blown coverage and gaping holes are a trend with this defense… Offensivley, our recievers have stepped up compared to last year…. The line looks great….. The only problem I see is Campbell…. He is indecisive and holds onto the ball for too long and it showed up big time last week…. He doesn’t throw too many picks but he doesn’t throw touchdown passes all that much neither…. Campbell better start to let it fly and not stand there like a tight wad…. I’m losing faith slowly in this guy…. I hope , if campbell can’t get the job dOne this year look for Pryor to start a couple of games at the end of the year…. Cuz so far he has looked like a decent game manager but cannot be called upon to win a game with his arm…. Those 2 picks against the pats where just ugly and an elite quarterback would never make those types of throws
October 5th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
Telling us they are going to fix the run defense is one thing. Figuring out how to do it and getting the players to do it is another. I hope we see some real improvement this Sunday. I will be happy just to see definate improvement. They did a good job stopping the run against a Denver team with a week running game, and then did well for a half against Buffalo, but then something happened. I don’t know what it was, but something did.

October 5th, 2011 at 6:24 pm
Maybe they’re assigned the wrong job?
October 5th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
I agree 1eye, but overall I think our defense is the major culprit. A team can compensate for an occasional offensive gaff if the defense is solid.
This game against Houston will tell the tale. Personally, I don’t think we have a chance. The defense is going to have to make a quantum leap for us to be victorious.
October 5th, 2011 at 6:25 pm
The only way this group fixes the run D anytime soon is by scoring early and often.
In the long term, Chekwa or DVD has to step up their game to be equally good as Routt and Branch has to improve in coverage. Then our D-line has to want to stop the run more so than it wants to get the QB on the ground. Pick their spots and anticipate run or pass.

So far this year the Raiders are 29th in run Defense:
in 2010 they were 29th
in 2009 they were 29th
in 2008 they were 31st
in 2007 they were 31st
in 2006 they were 25th
in 2005 they were 25th
in 2004 they were 22nd
in 2003 they were 32nd.
Why do you so-called fans continue to throw our players under the bus?

I see the correlation and point you are trying to make but better DT’s and OLB’s would mute your point, IMO.
We STILL need to get stronger up the middle on starting D. Everyone except for McClain can develop, all the rest will need to play better or need switchout because they have peaked already. But, the season is still young so let’s see where we end up cause the truth will show itself.
October 5th, 2011 at 6:33 pm
I hope next years HC will be a defensive orientated Coach!
October 5th, 2011 at 6:33 pm
Cork actually believes that after 17 years of watching and covering the Raiders he’s certain that Coach Davis is running the defense. Not that Cork has any solid evidence, but let’s say he has heard the rumors over the years. Isn’t Coach Davis also running and calling the WR rotations? Yes, according to many inquiring minds here and everywhere.
Well, all I can say is that you can pound on the “old coach” all you want or care to, but I got to give it to the “old man” (dictator, Cork muses the idea from a blogger), able to run and manage a multi-million sport organization from the front office including running the scout teams, drafts, player management, head coach, offense, defensive, and special-team coordinator, calling down plays from the owner’s box or at home when the team is on the road, author of the in-famous Raider playbook, with all schemes innovated and developed probably 50 years ago, a living legend and founder and leader of the Raider Nation. As I said many times, I can only wish I can do a quarter of that when I’m 70, let alone be alive at 80 plus.
What a genius Mr. Davis! and you all thought Steve Jobs (RIP) was the only one in the Bay Area.
So throughout all of those years, I am sure he has seen the terrible pre-chokey Gruden years, and the most recent debacles post AFC championship and last lost super bowl. Yes, these last 8 seasons of JaMarcus and futility hell. that obviously has generated all the current Corks of the blog and world who continue bagging on the man to the point of scathing condemnation. Notice how many negative comments on DHB you can count, just on this thread alone.
OK. So, Mr. Davis tells HueJax to start and play DHB (Corks believe playing him too much is a problem for the Raiders), well he runs the team, it is his to do so. The Corks might not like it, they write they want to hold Mr. Davis “accountable” for the past losing seasons, etc. I am sorry but that is totally insane, just what credentials these “fans” have to ask him for accountability.
If the Corks don’t like Mr. Davis and the team, well there are 31 others, in fact, there’s one across the bay, I’m sure they’ll welcome everyone to the whiner bandwagon, I mean didn’t they just punk the dream team in Philly, Nnamdi included.
Obviously, the last two sellouts at the Coliseum were a great sight, and how the Nation has responded. I know that Raiders will be competitive this year, I am not looking for AFC West champs or even the playoffs, just solid and effective play, show pride in the team and to the man that is rewarding them well and has giving them his trust.
I believe this is a great team in the making with a lot of potential and a good young nucleus. Maybe HueJax is the catalyst, but he should take care of talking it up too much, better to stay focus and on top of the team.
I can only imagine what Mr. Davis told Jarvis Moss, which is slowly becoming a key player in the defense. I hope Jarvis is not on salary-increase mode, props to him if he gets his money next year. I just hope money doesn’t affect him and keeps his game after he gets the big cash.
October 5th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
The players we have are the players we are going to have to get it done with at least for this season, barring a trade for Aaron Curry or something. These guys need to buck up and become much more competative against the run. I am not talking about suddenly becoming like the Ravens’ against the run. Just middle of the pack NFL would be a marked improvement.

It has been stated that DMC and Ford were not 100% healthy, just healthy enough. I think we will see flashier play this week. The same way CJ was playing at less than 100%, struggling, and committing those stupid penalties to slow WR’s down. Text that!

I have been asked that question frequently lately..
if Al is such a great defensive mind, and at job interviews he mostly asks about defensives schemes, why have our defense mostly sucked since 83?
I cant figure that one out, because it shouldnt be lack of good manpower, he is such a good drafter according to the yes-men.. at least when many of our players leave they do some good on other teams, so why does our defens mostly suck, I ask again?
I can only come up with one answer… guess who/what ..

Since we like bringing back old coaches, let’s bring back Willie Shaw. How old is he? He’s probably in better shape than Al Davis is and more than likely to do a better job. Players got to make plays though! We did have hall of fame players on our defense when Bresnahan last coached us and we were able to stop the run and went to the playoffs. Not that good of players now, same scheme, poor defense, really great players on D then, playoffs, superbowl. We have a pretty damn good offense and whoever complains about our line is ridiculous…sack differential from last year is light years ahead. Go RAIDERS, ya fackers!
October 5th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
Zopi,
That’s a really nice post and everything, but Bill Belichik himself said recently, when recalling his head-coaching interview with Davis, that Davis does indeed run the defense. He said that he knew he wasn’t going to get the job and even wondered a little why he was there, because Davis runs the defense and hires his head coaches to run the offense. Said they talked defensive philosophy quite a lot.
Gruden. Norv Turner. Joe Bugel. Mike White. Tom Flores. John Madden. Lane Kiffin. Tom Cable. Hue Jackson. All from the offensive side of the ball.
That is not a coincidence, nor is the interest in Winston Moss and the eventual (re)hiring of Chuck Bresnehan. Both of the aformentioned are intimate with the Raider defensive method.

_______________________________________________________
its a common thing to count form before/after 89.. because thats when football changed, because of the modern free agency or even better 1994 when salary cap was introduced..
so with that in mind, and just listing run defense to me is not enough, I dont care being #1 in run OR pass defense, I care about a balanced defense…
so how have our defense fared since 89 or 94? if we buy the idea of Al being a defensive guru, he at least should have the upper hand on that part of the game…

Anyone else have a problem with that? So Hue gets mad when someone messes up… And Tommy Kelly is good if Hue is only mad at him 20% of the time? So 1 out of every 5 plays he can mess up? If every defender was to think like that no wonder the D sucks.
Sorry Tommy, doesn’t work for me. Strive for perfection – it’s what drives good players to be great ones.

“I’m not going to say our players don’t have desire, because I know they do,” Jackson said. “I don’t think any player on our team wants the ball being run at them like that, and I’m not going to tell you it’s scheme. You’re going to take out of it what you want.”
=================================================
Hmmmmmmm.
Let’s see…
It’s not a lack of desire…
It’s not the scheme…
Take what you want out of that, huh ?
Well, uhmmmm, what else is left ?
Either there’s a lack of TALENT and ABILITY – or the coaching stinks – or maybe a combination of both.
Personally, I question Rolando’s desire. On the Jackson TD run in Buffalo it sure appeared to me that he was jogging – loafing in pursuit – clearly not giving 100 % effort.
Either he quit on the play, isn’t in shape to play, lacks the speed to play, or is suffering from an injury or illness.
Hue, I love the job you’re doing and I’m confident you’re addressing this issue behind closed doors – as you should be.
Message to RoMac: You don’t have to cooperate with the press. You don’t have to be cordial to the fans. Raider Nation will be disappointed if it turns out you don’t have the ability or talent to play well in the NFL – but we’ll accept it as a draft whiff, wish you the best, and move on. However, while you’re here, you’re OBLIGATED to give maximum effort, from snap to whistle, on every play. Anything less is unacceptable.

Zopi 303 great post..
What is even more astounding is that while Coach Davis has done everything you have said, he has alos had to battle the constant attacks by the league. the refs, and the commisioners. Conspirators are real, and they have dogged Coach for ever, and in spite of that, he has overcome them.
So all you anti-Davis bashers just remember, the tuck rule was designed to get the Raiders. All the bad officiating is aimed at the Raiders. And so many other things to numerous to mention. There was even a list started a few days ago. No other team has had to endure what the Raiders have.

So far this year the Raiders are 29th in run Defense:
in 2010 they were 29th
in 2009 they were 29th
in 2008 they were 31st
in 2007 they were 31st
in 2006 they were 25th
in 2005 they were 25th
in 2004 they were 22nd
in 2003 they were 32nd.
Why do you so-called fans continue to throw our players under the bus?
Who’s the Architect of the Raider Defense?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Did it ever occur to you or remotely cross your mind that maybe this is due to the conspiracies leveled at the Raiders? Who knows what outside conspirator forces are aimed at this team 24/7/365? I dont, do you? Didn’t think so. So I wouldn’t be so quick to say the D is Coach Davis’ fault. I know that is what you are trying to do. Look in the mirror and ask if you can do a better job.

I’m worried about this humbling phone call from Al Davis to Moss. Is he in trouble or is he getting traded? I dont want to see Moss traded when he’s just starting to come on. Hopeing its not something like a violation of the league’s substance abuse policy either.
For Al Davis to make a surprise “humbling” call its probably something big. Though it could have been a personal matter like a death in the family too.

I think Al Davis just called Moss to tell him what a great job he has been doing in Shaughnesy’s absents, and Moss was being gracious to his employer by saying it was a humbling experience.

Next Man Up For The Oakland Raiders
By Chuck Carroll
If Matt Shaughnessy’s shoulder injury keeps him sidelined on Sunday, Jarvis Moss should be the next man up for the Oakland Raiders.
Head coach Hue Jackson was upbeat about Moss during Friday’s media session and gushed over the fifth-year player’s work ethic and dedication to improving.
“I remember talking to him once we signed him back. He said, ‘Coach, I’m all in. Whatever you need, I’m ready to go.’ He said, ‘I’m going to be a different player this year,’ and he’s done that,” Jackson recalled. “He has been a different player and he needs to continue to get better and keep working at it.”
But is he really ready to start in place of Shaughnessy who has at least 10 pounds on him.
“I think so,” said Jackson. “He’s proven that he can – I mean, he’s a wiry guy. He’s 257 pounds and he’ll fight you. I see him take on blocks, I see him fight his tail off. He’s excited about being out there; he wants to be out there every play so if something comes up where we can’t go with certain guys, I feel comfortable putting him in there.”

Corkey/Cork, what ever, i call him Ring, pretty much thinks he is a fox news reporter trying to get the gothcha question out of Hue.
He’s JMac’s replacement!
He aint going to scoop anyone, the semis in here post the news hours before that twit can even jumble together a sentence and hit post.
He won’t be happy until Hue comes out and says “my hands are tied”, “AD is the debil”. It ain’t going to happen.
I don’t abide by this journalism. You like it, fair enough. I see no point to it.
The information is as stale as it ever was, go ahead and disagree.
Hue aint going to play anyone on Ring’s say so, whether he told Ring a personal secret or not.

I have officially given up any hope of the Raiders EVER being able to “stop the run”.
Penalties? Who cares? Nobody’s EVER been able to fix that no matter how much hear that they are going to. NFL conspiracy with that? I don’t know. I don’t care anymore. I just accept they’ll be there. It’s Al Davis’s job to complain to the league about that.
Stopping the run? Forget it. Let’s just try and outscore teams like in 2002.
I was hyped up with the stuff Hue was saying about how he was gonna change this, gonna change that, blah blah blah and all we see is the same old stuff and nothings changed.
I want to believe Hue but what has he ever said he’s gonna do that he’s actually gotten accomplished?
I’m sick of hearing how good we’re GOING TO BE someday.
Yes. I want gratification and I’m sick of waiting for it. Heck, the dang Lions are at the top of the power rankings and 4-0 and i’m still hearing how good w’ere going to be.
Thanks for allowing me to vent.
October 5th, 2011 at 10:24 pm

I hear ya, but I do believe Hue has made a difference on Offense. But, like all Raider HC’s, he has no authority on Defense.
It’s tough. I’ve been a fan since 64′. If I could get them out of my heart, and say screw it, I would.
October 5th, 2011 at 10:25 pm
This is the era of pass first offense.
Teams rarely carry a true blocking FB.
TEs are now just over weight WRs who can’t block.
3rd and 2 is now a passing situation.
…..and we still can’t fkn stop the run!
WTF IS GOING ON MTHER FKERS??????
October 5th, 2011 at 10:25 pm
Texans and everyone else is underestimating this team. This is when we are at our best. Don’t be surprised when the Raiders dominate the game. Without the stupid PF’s and the bonehead picks we beat NE. It won’t happen this time. Raiders win this one going away.
Go RAIDERS!
October 5th, 2011 at 10:30 pm
To the non believers..
Best QB we’ve had since Gannon.
Best RB we’ve had since Bo.
Best WR group we’ve had since Rice/Brown.
Best coach we’ve had since Chucky.
Best Oline since 2002.
Best Dline in the league.
Secondary young but improving.
What’s the problem? We lost against NE? Please… We are going to win alot of games and it begins again on Sunday.
Go RAIDERS!
October 5th, 2011 at 10:33 pm
Yes, but the Raiders have given up more points than they’ve scored.
But, I’ll be sure to pray.

We lost. OK. Against NE? 14-2 last year? They score against EVERYONE. We had those mf’s but let it go when we made the mistakes when it counted but they couldn’t stop us on O, no one has this year. Honestly, I expect us to beat the Texans easily. Laugh if you want, but we have the advantage. If we can just play our game, its an easy win.
Go RAIDERS!
October 5th, 2011 at 10:44 pm
As Raider fans it seems we desperately grasp on to any semblence of success. We’re 2-2 and “we’re back”. Even the media wants us back. A winning Raider team is good for football and the Raider fans deserve a winning team. NOT a .500 team. NOT a team with a good offense yet a real bad defense.
We’re 2-2 and we’re excited and feel we’re a playoff team.
Bears are 2-2 and they are being ripped in the media. Pitt. is 2-2 and they’re “old and tired” and as Deion Sanders says “showing their age”, yet we grasp this little bit of “success” and are so happy to be .500?
8-8 was a springboard. It was supposed to be that and Hue is here as HC to take us to the next level right?
Okay, let’s see it. It starts with Houston. No more bs. No more “we’re gonna get there” crap and false promises of better times.
October 5th, 2011 at 10:52 pm
Yeah, but at the same token, we lose a game and the f*kn roof is caving in. It’s not the ‘Same Old Raiders’. Watch the games and see what’s happening. This team is stacked and the league is taking notice. Past years, we are weak personnel and coaching wise and win a couple by luck, this year is totally different, we are *dominating* most of the plays, and its only a matter of time before it play itself out.
Go RAIDERS!
October 5th, 2011 at 10:56 pm
Now can McClain wake up and be a playmaker. He is the only real liability we have right now..
October 5th, 2011 at 11:00 pm
I hope you’re right. I see this Houston game as the ultimate litmus test of where we are at now. If we really are good, we win this… period! If we don’t, then we are still a ways off and that’s what it is. There’s worse things then being average. It’s better than where we were before last year and we just have to wait a while longer. I just thought, and have been led to believe that 8-8 was just a prelude to THIS YEAR.
You can’t be 2-3 and claim you’re back.
I hope we beat ‘em.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:01 pm
we need to win on sunday. if we dont we will be 2-3 and the haters will be here in droves. lets win hue so the haters will stay out of here.

===========================================
This might be really difficult for you to understand but Al Davis did not drop those three interceptions. Al Davis did not miss a tackle. Al Davis did not over pursue his assignment. The players who are on the field did. But then again you probably don’t blame yourself for selling homes to people that couldn’t afford them and then lost them. That was someone else’s fault as well.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:10 pm
The call from Mr Davis was probably just a his normal encouragement and to get him fired up to play Sunday he obviously thinks highly of Moss as I do. He doesn’t go to practcie like he used to and call players over and coach them up. So he just probably saw something on film and wanted to atlk to him about it. He’s always done that but it was always in person on the field at practice. It’s fairly common…
October 5th, 2011 at 11:12 pm
Seymour Bush The dude is senile he’ll never get it, he hasn’t in all this time. It’s hopeless He thinks the scheme prevents the players from making plays………LOL
October 5th, 2011 at 11:13 pm
I’ve been a fan since ‘78. This is the best team we’ve had in a *long* time. I’m watching the NE game again on replay, we should have beaten these *ucks but it came down to mistakes. Hue’s got something going, this is ‘98 all over again. We will DOMINATE this year and at least 2 more after that. Look at McFadden, Moore and Ford and tell me otherwise!!
Go RAIDERS
October 5th, 2011 at 11:14 pm
They should trade T Scott ahead of Moss if anything, but Moss probably has more value when it comes to getting a higher draft pick in next years draft.
If they can get a 3rd rounder for Moss, than they would have to consider it. The Raiders need some picks next year.
I like how Moss is developing here though. He is bringing more to the table than T Scott is currently.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:15 pm
priest you were great on 95.7 last night. We’re as good as the ‘02 team…lol. Loved it.

October 5th, 2011 at 11:16 pm
Huey and Saunders need to start using Ford and Moore like how D Jack, Welker, and Wallace are being used. Throw the ball to them in space on some intermediate or deep patterns!
October 5th, 2011 at 11:16 pm
Seymour, it’s too bad you think Al Davis isn’t responsible for anything that happens on the field, because I was just about to give him credit for the win vs. the Jets. Oh well. We’ll have it your way. Al had nothing to do with it.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:17 pm
Moss is playing like a RAIDER. He’s glad to be here and it shows.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:18 pm
Like I have been saying since the preseason.
This team will NOT get to where Huey and us fans want it to go with a vanilla, leaky defense that has problems stopping opposing offenses from converting on 3rd downs and containing the run consistently, game in and game out.

Not true. The whole defense is a liability as so is the DC Chuck B.
They need to start playing smart, tough and fundamentally sound tackling defense that makes plays and fills the gaps.
The team defense stinks right now!

Good posts tonight, CDE. But this team is much younger than the ‘98 team, and if they start clicking, they could go for much longer than three years.
There are still some holes to fill on this squad – hopefully the Raiders will continue to acquire young talent and improve over the next couple of years into a monster. That definitely seems to be the direction we are headed. Some folks think Al will fug it up first tho’.

To the non believers..
Best QB we’ve had since Gannon.
(debatable. I think Gradkowski was better in the clutch. )
Best RB we’ve had since Bo.
(way too early to say that. He’s got to surpass Wheatley before he even gets to Nap Kaufman…and, technically, Marcus Allen was still here after Bo, and he was the best 3rd down back in football. Al just didn’t use him)
Best WR group we’ve had since Rice/Brown.
(not hard to be, but true)
Best coach we’ve had since Chucky.
(Kiffin was 2-2 at this point)
Best Oline since 2002.
(probably right)
Best Dline in the league.
(Either you meant to say best Raider D line since 2002, or you’re joking)
Secondary young but improving.
(improving based on what? The numbers? I’d have to see that)
October 5th, 2011 at 11:28 pm
We beat up denver. D leaked against buffalo – only in the 2nd half when we went prevent. We beat up the jets. We beat up sanchez. NE was a different story because Huff wasnt able to double Welker and we tried to go zone. I expect us to kick some #ss on Sunday! AJ is out, pack the box and let Routt, Chekwa and Huff do their jobs. We will get pressure!
Go RAIDERS!
October 5th, 2011 at 11:29 pm
Oh, and I forgot about Charlie Garner…in regards to DMac being our best RB since Bo. So that’s 3 in front DMac so far. He’s got a ways to go.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:29 pm
Mr D aint trading Moss there’s no way he calls him just to let him know he’s trading he’d just do it. If he calls him he is very high on him and sees things he can do better. It’s fairly common when he used to attend practice he was always doing that.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:31 pm
Gradkowski had his chance. Loved the guy, as did AD, but he simply didn’t win enough when he had the chance. The team was not as stacked as now, but Campbell is the ONLY winning QB (for us) we’ve had since Gannon, period.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:31 pm
Rob, must have been somebody posting under my name earlier, regarding me being gay. Sorry they got your hopes up.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:32 pm
I liked Gradkowski better because he played better under pressure, for starters. And most importantly, he just has more desire than Campbell. I don’t think Campbell really even wants to play football, to be honest. I’ve not seen an ounce of fire in him. I’ve heard people say that this is just his style. All the more reason for him to retire.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:32 pm
CDE NE spread us out and attacks zones we shut down the TE but stopping Welker is hard because the way they use him he lines up everywhere these media types don’t watch games right. If you watch that guy he lines up everywhere and it’;s hard to get a jam on him and bracket him they try to run picks for him and confuse you and hide him so he gets open. He’s hard to stop……..period
October 5th, 2011 at 11:33 pm
When did Garner lead the league in rushing? Loved Garner but he was on the tail end of his career, he did great for us but Gannon was the man and this is our draft pick and he’s just now reaching his peak.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:34 pm
I don’t know if Garner ever lead the league in rushing at some point mid season, which is the standard you’re holding him to.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:35 pm
I think Harvey Williams led the league in rushing early on in ‘94. It’s kind of the final season stats that count.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:36 pm
Preist. I agree, but we would have done better with Huff because of his speed. Bottom line, we didn’t score TD’s when we had the chance. Stopping Welker is basically impossible.

FUG the scrappy noodle arm second string roster spot killer. How come the guy is playing second banana to a ginger rook MR?
WTF happened to the polish popgun.
Your mancrush is embarrassing.
JC with a concussion is a better qb than Garbagekowski ever dreamed of being.
Glad that fker is off the Raids roster. Him and Bob short arms the bust Gallery.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:38 pm
As far as your attempt to downplay Garner, we wouldn’t have gone to the Super Bowl without him. And considering his performance against NYJ in the wild card game in ‘01, the tuck game probably never happens, either. We’re eliminated in the wild card. We probably don’t make the playoffs in ‘01 or ‘02 without Garner. I still remember Sapp saying before the Super Bowl that Garner was the only player on the Raiders they were really worried about. lol.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:38 pm
Liked the way DHB stepped up to the plate last week. He still dropped an easy hands catch though.
I trust Ford, Moore, and Hagan more than him though still.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:39 pm
Drexl, if Campbell’s not in Oakland, he’s not even a “second banana” elsewhere. He’s either on someone’s practice squad, or in the world league.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:40 pm
Sully,
You honestly think that we’re not better than we were in 2009, 2010? Campbell is not Brady, that’s obvious, but I’ll take his play so far over Grads which was great when it was great but sucked when it sucked and bottom line great player but couldn’t stay healthy. Campbell is what we need right now, you watch.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:40 pm
This team will go as far the DEFENSE will take them! The offense is just fine!
The D needs to STEP IT THE HELL UP and do does Chuck B!!
October 5th, 2011 at 11:40 pm
I want to see them again if possible because that game was much closer than the score indicated.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:41 pm
Great when he was great and sucked when he sucked. Reminds me of Campbell’s performance Sunday…
October 5th, 2011 at 11:41 pm
Gradkowski was an incredibly brittle little fkr> WTF was his problem MR?
Didn’t the little popgun blow both knees out in one game.
Roster spot killer imo.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:42 pm
JC will probably get an extension if he keeps playing well overall.
This team needs stability on the offensive side of the ball and Huey, Saunders and JC provide that. There are no other QB’s out there that are better that the Raiders can get. So JC is the man here until proven otherwise!
October 5th, 2011 at 11:43 pm
That’s good you trust Hagan more because obviously no one else does….You guys just need to accept the obvious DHB is getting it done in practice……….period

October 5th, 2011 at 11:45 pm
I wonder if Garbage can hold on to his second string job next year, probably needs the rook to injure himself to survive, IMO>MRMO
October 5th, 2011 at 11:45 pm
Bruce is an afterthought a memory and once was then again never was.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:45 pm
Those cats in Cinncy were sure quick to reinsert a hobble rook into the starting QB job, wonder why that was.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:46 pm
The rook injures himself and Gradkowski will probably be a pro bowler.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:47 pm

October 5th, 2011 at 11:48 pm
Grabhisnutstooksie sure had the making of a fine QB, kinda scrappy, kinda like that in my QB’s, eh MR?
October 5th, 2011 at 11:48 pm
Who other than us was willing to sign Campbell? Nobody? Like I said, at least Gradkowski’s in the league. If Campbell’s not here, there’s a good chance he’s on someone’s practice squad.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:51 pm
I sure does like my QB’s scrappy, eh MR?
To bad he is so brittle, the guy should of beat out that bum jaSoup, just didn’t have quite the lift. Oh well, he will probably go to annual probowls in Cinncy. At least that’s what my “sources” say.
October 5th, 2011 at 11:51 pm
JC hasn’t even gotten started yet this offense hasn’t gotten started yet this team is going to explode on someone soon they will hang 50 on an opponent in the next few games just watch. They’re just starting to get in a groove last week NE was very very lucky to leav with us hanging 40 on ‘em. we just got stuck in one gear and couldn’t get out. When we see them again 31 points wont get them within 10 points of us. Just wait and watch…

Grads is gone. He had his chance and he wasn’t good enough. Steelers/Benglas wins were epic (although Murph’s ridiculous catches made it happen) and I hoped he was the new Gannon, he’s not and he’ll be out of the league soon. Campbell, despite his flaws, is what we need right now. We will make the playoffs and rely on our running game to take us to the top.

October 5th, 2011 at 11:59 pm
In Moore and TJ we have two of the most explosive players in this league. Ford and DHB is a very dangerous combo, with Murphy Chaz and Hagan as possesion guys this team is extremely loaded. KBoss may be by years end the biggest FA pickup this year including Nnamdi because of what’s around him. In our backfield you have 3 dynamic HB’s and a bigplay FB this is the best talent I’ve ever seen assembled on one offense and it has a master technician running it and mad scientist orchestrating the offense. Our defense just has to keep teams honest. Stop the run and don’t allow teams to keep the ball awya from our offense and we’ll win double digit games.
I’ve watched the Raider for 44 years and I’m telling you we have NEVER EVER had the kind of talent on one team like they have on this one. It’s just VERY VERY YOUNG once the hit stride they will run through this league.

Why suck Grads d*ck at this point? I get it. You liked him. He had his moments, but wasn’t able to capitalize. If he was so good, he would be starting now. He’s not. But how does that have any effect on what’s going on now? Campbell is a winning QB and we have a realistic chance of making a run. Whats the problem?

You couldnt begin to guess what NFL players think, your the azzhat that claimed NFL players do not watch what else goes on around the league, including following up on what old teams are doing.

Just some food for thought. The minute Hue and Bres can get the run defense fixed, then we will play for the championship gain.
October 6th, 2011 at 12:33 am
1985 we were number 5 in stopping the run, but history definitely shows that we are a force to be reckoned with when we can stop the run.
October 6th, 2011 at 12:40 am
McFadden = BEAST
Moore = Rookie of the year = the new Branch
Ford = the next Welker
Hue = the next Madden
Moss = Comeback player of the year
Wis2 = What his Unc was, but better
Raiders = AFC champs
Book it!

I hate them….but,
the Forty 9ers have not allowed a team to rush for over 100 yards on them all season long. They are 3-1 and on top of their division.
The point is…
the minute we can finally fix our run defense issues, we will be in the playoffs and beyond!
October 6th, 2011 at 1:58 am
Given the nature of the NFL and of our society in general these days (being in the age of near instant information), we here on the blog tend to have knee-jerk reactions and rush to judgement.
I’m as guilty as anyone.
There’s only 16 of these a year and we’ve suffered too long.
Misplaced optimisim and short-sighted pessimisim have caused me to think things like we could win with the likes of Maronavich, George, and Russell — men like Bugel or Shell part 2, Norvelle and Lance could lead them and the team — that we could win without the Grudens and despite the Cables.
Also things like Daren McFadden should be a slot receiver and DHB maybe could make a decent DB and salvage his career (this one only half joking, as I was appx. half serious when it first popped into my head).
At any rate, I stuck with a guy named JaMarcus Russell for a lot longer than I should have and a lot longer than most did. I guess I saw flashes. I saw a kid with all the tools. He was just young. Needed more experience.
Well, he lost me. And he didn’t really lose me on the field. He lost me after the game. Between games. When he would make comments that would just make your jaw drop. Deflected blame and lacked leadership, fire, etc., etc., etc. And of course the sh;t that came out after he got the boot.
Old news.
But it got me thinking about this Rolando McClain kid. Is he going down this same path? Highly touted SEC guy fresh off a very succesful year, high draft pick, highly touted. And missing something. He’s not making the impact plays that you want and have to see out of your starting 4-3 MLB.
Is he another bust? He was supposed to be the smartest guy in the room, at least with respect to football. Smartest kid Nick Saban ever coached. Is this another kid that’s going to blow his money on the garbage that Russell did and have his head forever in someplace other than the game?
And I’ve been thinking about it a bit since last Sunday’s knee-jerk reaction and my answer is: I don’t think so.
The printed word can’t possibly capture the emotion, body language, or attitude of a person when they’re saying it.
Maybe is sensationalism in journalism on Steve’s part (or maybe something along those lines but not quite as dramatic) or maybe its just the nature of the printed word. I watched the interview where McClain said he thought he tackled pretty well but couldn’t say so about the rest of the D until he watched the film.
Initially seemed pretty arrogant when reading it but after watching it (on film!), I think I see a young guy who is really uncomfortable around the media and actually a pretty shy dude.
It was obvious he wasn’t happy with himself or the loss but he didn’t throw anyone under the bus. Prior to his comment, a question was asked of him to the effect of ‘Groves thought the tackling issue was maybe angles, what do you think of that?’ McClain said he tackled pretty good (and didn’t say it with a whole lot of gusto) and couldn’t say about anyone else til he saw it on film.
Now, I don’t see a whole lot of passion from this guy, but I don’t see an a$$hole either. He’s got the defense in better position to make a play than we’ve seen in recent years and he’s been very strong in the pass game. He’s barely started his second year and he’s already got chumps in here calling him Rolando McBosworth (®).
I think McClain can put it together and he’s gonna have to. He’s the QB of the defense and fair or not, he’s going to get the lion’s share of the blame if it doesn’t succeed.
If just he alone took his game to another level, this team would benefit in a major way. I hope he matures quickly and makes guys like myself eat a big country sized plate of crow.

Terrell Owens is continuing to insist that he’ll play in the NFL this year, saying in an interview Wednesday that he thinks he’ll be 100 percent healthy in “a month or less.”
Owens told ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith that despite suffering a torn ACL in April, he’ll be good to go for the second half of the regular season.
“I’m not gonna waste your time, so I wouldn’t expect you to waste my time,” Owens said. “When I step on the field, you know what you gonna get.”
Owens is insisting that if teams bring him in for a workout, they’ll see that the injury isn’t slowing him down.
“The knee is great,” Owens said.
-Michael David Smith

I guess BCZ was correct when he predicted “November at the earliest” – Kudos!
I still predict Owens will have a bigger year than Chad85, despite missing almost half the season injured
October 6th, 2011 at 6:57 am
Most of our problem against the run is that we are playing the run on our way to the QB…ie. Trying to rush the Quarterback and then ‘oops, they ran it’..
You cant play run D like that.

I get where your going, but DHB isn’t starting over DMoore. Moore starting along side him last week. I think the one thing that will hamper all of our receivers this year will be the constant rotation. No one will get into the rythm they need to be in with Soup
October 6th, 2011 at 7:13 am
Post #512; spot on.
Watched the Ateeler-Texan game.
Texans came out, first posession, running their ZBS tp perfection. Stretch play, cutback, dive, they had it going. Foster is as much a beast as DMAC; just not as fast (but pretty quick).
The Huouston “D” is their most impresive unit.
JJ Watt just makes that unit special, just like Kerrigan does for the Deadskins. He has vary long arms & can engage most tackles b4 they get a mit on him..The LB crew is very good. Mario Williams, Brian Cushing, Demeco Ryans (Raiders coulda had him instead of Thomas Howard. Just sayin’, RMAC!) & Conner Berwin.
Their secondary is vastly improved but are still prone to the blown coverage. However, they do have Jonathan Joseph, the second rated CB in this past free agent crop.
Now; the Raiders Oline is VASTLY superior to the Steelers Oline. And the Texans didn’t blitz that much; they brought pressure but not as exotically as some blitzing units. Doesn’t mean thaey won’t bring the heat on Sunday but I’ve noticed most teams concentrate on stopping the Raiders running game (at press time less than successfully)and eschew the blitz.
Now; Andre Johnson & Tate aren’t available Sunday. However, a heavy dose of Foster & Dedrick Ward (Ward was very effective against rthe Raiders in last year’s contest), plus their TE scheme will be formidable.
When Lance Kiffin was the Raiders coach Matt Schaub was made available in trade. The Raiders were almost equally interested (he was had for a second round pick. Mighta been two #2’s)but Houston “pulled the trigger.” Man, he’s good. But not great. He is suceptable to the bad turnover, especially in crunch situations.
The Raiders need to play defense like they did in the second Discharger latchup of 2010. That focus would serve them well as they need to render Houston one dimensional, by necessity & not by choice. . .
It says here Sunday’s out come will be. . .

Hey, you have a post from the day after the draft expressing doubt about McClain? I do.
Dakota Says:
April 23rd, 2010 at 7:15 am
Good morning.
First pick wasn’t bad, just not really excited about it. At first I was on the McClain bandwagon, but then you watch his highlights and nothing special pops out, and then you heard the rumors of Crohns, but that turned out to be bunk. Then Charlie Casserly on path to the draft said he didn’t see McClain make very many big plays and that he doesn’t shed blockers very well….sounds a lot like Morrison.
But I hope his high football IQ puts him in position to make plays that Morrison can’t and I hope he is the captain of the defense by year two and making all the calls. Hope he becomes a team leader that we need so badly.
Still no real NT and still no o-line help…hopefully one will be addressed in round 2.

I was a little disappointed in seeing how easily Mclain was getting blocked by DBs last game. Even more disappointed in how he actually slows down when he sees a block coming instead of being the beast that he can be by trucking people in his path. I liked how ROMO called him out though saying how big he is and to make some plays! I love the guy at MLB, I just want him to start lighting people up more with an initial HIT as opposed to the grab-lift-drop opponents.

Can DMAC and the gang outscore an AJ-less Houston O? Hmm, tough D with a 3-4 scheme. If we fall behind early I say no, JC and our WR crew are not ready for catchup. If we jump on them we got a shot!

first Gronkowski was used to block on 2/3 of NE snaps against us, Owen Daniels isnt a blocking TE, secondly Texans use Owen Daniels more like NE uses Welker..

BOSS should be getting the ball in redzone, the guy is 6′6. and Chaz nd Moore should be getting fade routes called in the redzone. why have big recievers and guys that will jump to get the catch and not use it. We should have a multi-facet offense. If they stop the run we should be able to pass to our WRs, if they are locked down, hit BossMan, if he is covered screens and wheel routes. if the opponent is stopping these plays then thats one thing but some things we are just not tryin.

The Offense will perform at 85%-90% efficiency this week.
Houston will be a formidable D test, something comparable if not better than the jest.
However, with the weapons we have and guys coming back from injuries the offense should be rolling.

October 6th, 2011 at 10:07 am
I had the O efficiency at 85% due to our injuries. FORD, Murphy, Reece even DMAC has missed game time.
The Oline has been solid. They have given up a couple of sacks with one being caused by JC tripping himself.
I had predicted a top 5 offense by end of year, no reason to move off that as we have the weaponry to achieve it.

I fought some of you on the idea of moving FORD to the slot position however, this makes the most sense as we can line up Hag, DMO, CHAZ, and DHB outside…

thats 2games Brown for 4 catches and 114 yrds no TD.
He has some impressive catches, dont get me wrong. but he is most needed in the redzone. that int thrown to chung would prob not happened if a 6′6 TE is catching a fade on him. i dont think boss was even out there.

O is operating at 85% efficiency
D is operating at 35% efficiency
Compare the following;
O operating cost to performance ratio
D operating cost to performance ratio
You will find with all the money spent on the defense the are being outperformed by the Offense.

Rookie CB Chimdi Chekwa (hamstring). , LB Ricky Brown (concussion) and rookie TE Richard Gordon (hand) were also out.

“Here’s the deal. You got to get it solved. We got to get it stopped. That’s what we’ve got to do. We must quit letting people run the ball at us like people have.”
When Jackson talks, his players listen.
————————————–
Any coach, manager, CEO, general–whomever–needs to be able to reach his or her underlings. That’s what being an effective leader is all about. I sincerely hope Jackson gets through, and what’s more he seems like the right personality to do so. But Davis has got to back him up, and not undermine his authority. That is exactly what has been rumored for years. And if the coaches can’t get through, if the commitment is lax, there’s only one place to look. So, for chrissakes Al, let the man coach and stay out of his way.
