Run defense remains topic A among Raiders

By Steve Corkran
Thursday, October 6th, 2011 at 2:23 pm in Oakland Raiders.

Gap integrity, discipline, attention to detail and responsibility are phrases being thrown around more than footballs at the Raiders year-round facility in Alameda this week.
That’s what happens when you’re fresh from a game in which you allow 183 yards rushing, and you are last in the league at an average of 5.9 yards per carry.
As I write, the players are getting an earful from defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan on the proper ways to defend against the Houston Texans’ famed zone-blocking scheme, the one used to great success against the Raiders by the Denver Broncos for so many years.
The point has been hammered home during practice, as well. Coach Hue Jackson said he is spending more time overseeing the defense.
What needs to be done isn’t a great secret, he said.
“It’s a matter of going to get the guy with the ball, get off blocks, go and get the guy with the ball and take the guy down and take the guy down hard,” Jackson said. “Over the last two days, we’ve done a good job with that, getting better at it.”
Defensive tackle Richard Seymour played end and tackle during his eight seasons with the New England Patriots. It’s conceivable that the Raiders could move Seymour to end and insert run-stopping specialist John Henderson into the lineup in Seymour’s regular spot.
If that’s what it takes, Seymour said, he is up to playing end again.
“Wherever they ask me to go, that’s what I’ll do,” Seymour said. “If they ask me to play on the nose, I’ll play on the nose. If they ask me to be on the end, I’ll be on the end. Wherever I’m needed, I’m willing to go. It can’t be, ‘Hey put a guy over here to stop this’ because it’s all over the place. If everyone takes care of their responsibility and take care of their job, then we’ll be fine.”
The problem might be widespead, but it’s also fixable, Seymour said. Players aren’t trying to do too much, they just aren’t doing what they’re supposed to do from time to time.
“It’s just a matter of taking care of your responsibilities,” Seymour said. “My job is the B gap, take care of the B gap. As simple as it sounds, that’s the defense that we play, a one-gap responsibility defense. You have to take care of your responsibility, first and foremost. That’s what we preach around here, do your job. If everyone takes the same approach we won’t have any problems.”
The Raiders are expecting the Texans to run early and often Sunday. Why not? Jackson said. He would do the same thing if he were playing against a Raiders defense that allows 136 yards per game.

NOT SO HAPPY RETURNS
Only one of the Raiders 11 kick returns has yielded field position beyond their own 20-yard line the first four games.
Nick Miller, Taiwan Jones, Jacoby Ford, Rock Cartwrigtht. All have returned kicks this season. None has figured out how to get past the Raiders 25.
To hear Jackson tell it, there’s a list of factors conspiring against the Raiders reaping the kinds of results they did last season, when Ford returned three kicks for touchdowns and routinely got past the Raiders 20.
“The ball’s been kicked pretty well by the other team, hang time, balls been kicked deep, and we’ve got to continue to block better,” Jackson said. “We’ve got to give those guys a little bit more opportunity if we decide to bring it out.”
Jones and Ford returned kicks in practice Wednesday. It remains to be seen who will handle that duty against the Texans.

MOVING ON, NOT LOOKING BACK
Earlier in his career, it might have been difficult for quarterback Jason Campbell to put behind him a game like last Sunday, when he had two passes intercepted against the Patriots.
That no longer is the case. As evidence, offensive coordinator Al Saunders points to the way Campbell has looked in practice this week.
“I know one thing he’s had two of his best days of practice these last two days,” Saunders said. “And Jason is very, very competitive. This kid has taken a team to the National Championship in college, he’s taken a high school team to a championship. Everywhere he’s been he’s been a successful player.
“In that position, if you don’t have the ability to put a play behind you and go on to the next play, it’s real difficult. But he has an ability to do that.”
Campbell said he had no difficulty letting go of the frustration that came with a second-quarter interception in the end zone, when the Raiders were in position to take the lead.
The fact the Raiders bounced back from that interception and wound up with 507 yards offense showed that they moved on, Campbell said.
“You have to shake it off and move forward,” Campbell said. “We came back in the second half, we got the ball back and we went right back down the field. … We responded really well to come back in the second half and try to go down and score a touchdown. … Guys are able to put it behind us. I know I have to as a quarterback.”

RECEIVERS GALORE
Wide receiver Louis Murphy said he feels good after two straight days of practice in his return from a groin surgery. Whether he makes his 2011 debut Sunday remains to be seen.
Murphy said he feels as if he’s ready to go. The decision won’t be made until Sunday morning, during pre-game warm-ups.
Yet, at some point, the Raiders are going to have to find a way to incorporate Murphy and five other wide receivers into the offense.
Saunders said the key is designing certain packages of plays for each receiver and playing to each player’s strengths.
“We have the availability of some players that will give us an opportunity to do different kinds of things and typically you will have different packages for those,” Saunders said. “We try not to ask a player to do what he can’t do and accentuate the positives of his abilities. So there will be different packages for the players that we have.”
Murphy was Oakland’s most-productive wide receiver each of the past two seasons. Yet, that was before the Raiders drafted Denarius Moore and signed veteran Derek Hagan.
Campbell now has more talented receivers than he did last season. Murphy said he is confident that he won’t get lost in the shuffle and become the odd-man out, given he hasn’t played in a game of any kind since last season.
“I just let my actions speak on that end,” Murphy said. “Other than that, guys know what I’ve done around here. It’s nothing big. I just want to go out there and help the team.”

INJURIES UPDATE
Defensive end Matt Shaughnessy (shoulder), cornerback Chris Johnson (hamstring), fullback Marcel Reece (ankle), linebacker Ricky Brown (concussion) and tight end Richard Gordon (hand) missed practice Thursday, and they haven’t practiced at all this week.
Jackson typically is hesitant to shed much light, if any, on the status of his players in the days before a game. However, he let slip with a rather telling remark about how he views the status of players who miss practice the week before a game.
“If a guy doesn’t practice, (people) have seen how we go about,” Jackson said. “If a guy doesn’t practice, it’s hard to help this football team.”
Translation: it’s unlikely that any of the aforementioned injured players will play against the Texans.
Jackson also said that some of those players are “close” to returning to action, while others are “a long ways away.”
He refused to attach names to either category.
Cornerback Chimdi Chekwa attempted to practice Wednesday with a sore hamstring, but he suffered a setback, he said. His status for Sunday is questionable, at best.
If Johnson and Chekwa can’t play, rookie DeMarcus Van Dyke and Joe Porter will get added playing time. Jackson intimated that Van Dyke might even start opposite Stanford Routt.
“Absolutely,” Jackson said. “Next man up. Hey, throw him in there. Let’s go.”

TONGA ITCHING FOR DEBUT
Fullback Manase Tonga spent last season on the Raiders practice squad after getting released at the end of training camp. He finally might get his shot at playing in a regular-season game for the first time.
Tonga said he received a majority of the reps at fullback in practice Thursday in the absence of Reece and Gordon. He should know Friday whether the Raiders intend to promote him from the practice squad.
“I haven’t heard anything yet but I’ll make sure I’m ready just in case,” Tonga said.
All this waiting has made Tonga eager to take it out on someone in a game.
“Whenever that day comes, I’ll make sure that first person is going to feel it,” Tonga said.
Jackson said Cartwright or one of the tight ends, presumably Brandon Myers or David Ausberry, also are options as a blocking back.

    Brien and MB steaming mad. Be warned.

  2. Sullivan44 Says:

    Wish run defense would be topic A for the Raiders in the draft.

  3. J Hill Says:

    Let the Tonga era begin.

    Reece better get ready to be cut and Gordon better be ready to resume his backup TE role.

    “Obvious Run Downs” shouldn’t be a problem now, right B?

  4. Sullivan44 Says:

    I mean, you draft for pass defense, then when the run defense sucks, “come on, guys, tackle! You can do it!”. This isn’t pop warner, Al. If you want a stout defense, you have to build teams the way Pittsburgh and Baltimore do. And you have to stop meddling.

  5. GoodOle00 Says:

    Reece bashers? You don’t have a clue. Reece is a solid blocker and the ONLY deep threat hybrid FB.

    He’s been a massive success and a big part of the reason DMC and Oaklands run game has been so good last season and until he got hurt.

    Get a clue.

    LA,
    You are against debt Bush created but you are ok with Hussein tripling Bush’s debt and it only took that marxist 2.5 years to do it.

    You are ok with Libya and you are ok with Hussein prolonging Afghan but against what Bush did in Iraq & Afghan.

    You are nothing more than a ignorant scumbag. You are the definition of a liberal. Ignorant and hypocritical.

    —————–

    When did I say I was for Lybia and prolonging Afghanistan?

    In fact, I said just the opposite. Go back and “read” it. Sorry, I can’t include any colorful pictures for you, MB.

    “In June, the administration predicted the surplus would be $211 billion, and would increase by as much as $1 trillion over the next 10 years.Clinton also announced the federal government paid down the national debt by $223 billion this year, and by more than $360 billion since 1998, the largest debt reduction in U.S. history.”

  106. Sullivan44 Says:

    Anyhow, like I said earlier, if you want a good run defense, you have to draft for the run defense for years. You can’t just draft one guy, and expect him to carry the weight for the entire front 7, most of them being pass rushers/defenders.

  107. Macho Man Randy Savage Says:

    C´mon, youve seen Slowlando. I dont expect to be #1 in rush D, specially with Chuky B calling the shots, but he could do a whole lot better.

  108. Sullivan44 Says:

    You have to draft for run defense for at least 3 years before you get real results. Building a solid run defense is one of the hardest things to do in this league. You have to commit to it. But leave it Oakland to have a defense where 9 guys are pass defenders, 2 are run stoppers, and blame the 2 run stoppers for a poor run defense. This is why nobody wants to work for Al. It’s just insanity.

    ============================================

    I’m not saying DHB should be no. 1, but the week after he had a 100+ yard game against the patriots is when you should shut up about it for a minute. I have no doubt that if DHB signs with another team and excels you’ll b*tch about Al letting him go.

    And you have not a shred of credible evidence that Al is meddling with Hue.

  115. Dakota Says:

    45 year old Greg Beikert could suit up Sunday and be more of a help against the run than Slowlando McLazy.

  116. LA to TheBay Says:

    In fairness, Al has drafted a hard-hitting S, a MLB and two 2-way DEs over the last three years.

  117. LA to TheBay Says:

    I’d like to see the defense continue to make progress. We’ve seen as much from the offense. All it took was some coaching, along with the pieces Al put in place, mainly through the draft.

    Think the same goes for D.

    I know Al has been the constant in several bottom-ranked defenses over 9 years but you gotta look at who the coaches were and what he allowed them to do.

    Al has to let up on this one and there is no sign that he will.

  118. RaiderSam Says:

    This is a situation where they know they have to stop a player, stop the run and if they cant do it…you throw the “guarantee we will in the AFC West” comments out the window. Smart move to move Seymour out of the middle (where they will no doubt try to cut block him, he’ll implode and do something stupid like face mask and get penalties on Schaub). Question is, can Big John Henderson stay fresh and can we get a Desmond Bryant sighting? Matt Giordano was last seen in Denver, CO. as well.

    McClain? That goes without saying Romo pretty much called him out…lets see how he responds…i want to see him straight up solo wrap and tackle Arian Foster.

  119. J Hill Says:

    So Seymour is headed back to DE and Henderson is going to start in his spot, eh?

    That should have been the starting lineup since last year!

    Move Houston into the DT rotation and Wimbley back to OLB and let’s get on with this!

  120. raiderkoolaid Says:

    I think Henderson can still be a force against the run in the middle, but I don’t think he can go the whole game without wearing down. Still, it might work if they can shut down the run and then get him out of there for a pass rusher in pass situations.

  121. Blackmamba_20 Says:

    Matt Giordano should not even be on the field, MM34 you always notice him…

  122. LA to TheBay Says:

    Think we’ll see guys moved around a bit on DL, rather than seeing Houston moved inside full time and Seymour moved outside.

  123. LA to TheBay Says:

    The Raiders have shown they can stop the run in certain games. Typically, vs. the AFC West. So you know they’re capable of it. Gotta execute.

    I’m far more worried about LBs and the secondary than the DL. Plenty of good players on the DL, but the rest of the D is thin.

    Secondary might improve w/Huff back from injury and as the rookies develop, but the LB squad should be contributing more.

    The Raiders have enough O fire power to win some games this year, but I think the D needs another offseason of improvement before this team contends.

    Q: During practice, how much time do you spend over on the side? Do you a lot or do you let Chuck [Bresnahan] do his thing?

    Coach Jackson: I let all of our coaches do their thing. Obviously, my side of the ball is on offense but I look at it all. I’m not going to sit up here and say I’m void at what’s going on on defense. Hey, I’m the biggest culprit to it; I’m the head coach of this football team. So I’ve spent more time over there, I will tell you that, and I plan on spending more. If that’s what I’ve got to do, that’s what I’m going to do. Whatever it takes to get this team to where I think it needs to be is what I’m going to do and it starts with me and then filters down to the rest of the coaches. But if everybody’s going to point a finger, you’ve got to point it at me because I’m the one that spearheads it all and I’ve got to get it fixed. – HU JACK

    The local writters and certain conspiracy theorist blog regulars constantly try to sell us on the idea that Davis is in sole control of the defense. Sorry Ill take Hu jack at his word on this one.

    Defensive tackle Richard Seymour played end and tackle during his eight seasons with the New England Patriots. It’s conceivable that the Raiders could move Seymour to end and insert run-stopping specialist John Henderson into the lineup in Seymour’s regular spot.
    If that’s what it takes, Seymour said, he is up to playing end again.
    ___________________________________________________

    They should have been doing this a long time ago.

    They have a freaking 8 man rotation.

    Shaughnessy/Henderson/Kelly/Seymour should be the starting lineup…

    We can replace Kelly with Bryant or even Houston in the starting lineup if Kelly can’t get the job done.

    Here are some interesting tid bits for the haters. More evidence that our offense and passing game are being reborn, and Jc is money in the clutch.

    1.) the raiders are ranked # 15 in big pass plays ( plays over 25 yards) with 9

    2.) JC is the 4th highest rated qb in the 4th quarter with an eye popping rating of 110.7

    3.)Jc has a qb rating of 97.9 inside of two minutes

    4.) Jc has posted an absurd rating on 3rd down 92.2

    Impostors, heart of a lion club, & the rest, please know that the td passes are coming next. as our young wr core figure it out, and our coach and qb continue to grow together this will be a highly explosive group.

This at times keeps the offense honest as they dont know if he will rush or drop, or delay blitz.

  218. antispy3 Says:

    I gather from ‘Soup’s comments pertaining to the end zone pick the defense dictated DHB flashing back over the middle instead of bolting towards the (congested) sideline.

    ‘Soup eluded to having to be like a “big brother;’ does that mean DHB still needs help in route recognition (sarcasm)?

    ‘Soup still threw the ball right @ the cast wearing Patrick (liked him in college. Wish he was a Raider) Chung.

    I still hang my hat on the fact he is closer to the player that has EMERGED as a viable, little bit more than a journeyman QB with a rising ceiling than the guy Hue lobbied to bench in game #2 last year.

    Houston would have to play outside their personality to surprise the Raiders. I don’t think the gadget plays will work this week. JJ Watt , Brian Cushing, Mario Williams, Demeceo Ryans, Connor Barwin. This team is loaded.

    But if the Raiders just handles them straight up I see the Texan defense getting repeadetly gashed. When they go eight in the box throw it over the top.

    Aside from the fact they upgraded their secondary with the acquisition of Jonathan Joseph in free agency they still aren’t cohesively familiar with each other. Mike Wallace, arguably the best deep threat currently playing on Sundays repadetly singed the Houston secondary.

    They play on field turf, the same surface they played on in Buffalo. If Wallace gave the Texans this kinda problem look for a steady dose of Raider deep threats in action Sunday. Houston can only play eight in the box or go two deep in the secondary. Simple math. So, seems pretty simple to me. If the Oline plays up to their current level maybe Houston takes away the perimeter runs. Maybe. But I see the Raiders punching Houston in the mouth.

    But Arian Foster will go off. He’ll get his 100. But if Oakland limits the reigning NFL philosipher, Arian Foster, to about 4 yards a pop & under 125 yards they have a better than fighting chance. MM34 could be the wild card in this one.

    sounds like DL v Houston will be

    Houston Henderson Kelley Seymour

    with Moss & Scott backing up at DE & Bryant rotating in at DT (Seymour probably some DT as well, especially on passing downs)

  223. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Finally…some m’fn commitment to fixing the obvious. Henderson in the middle is a MANDATORY requirement for this team to have a chance against the run.

    All you people up here excusing this BS that has gone on long enough…and now look at what’s front and CENTER

    That doggone run defense. It is now that these guys are understanding that you cannot finesse your way to good defense……I don’t give a damn how much throwing a team does…YOU DON’T STOP THE RUN YOU DON’T WIN

    Now its all they are working on! No more B.S about Terdell sands, GErard Warren or the m’fn fairy tale that Tommy Kelly is a DT that can consume blockers and man his assignments

    Now they see it — yes, our Raiders are stubborn…but eventually you have to come around to it.

    Hey…..there is a such thing as an NT!

  228. Mistic1 Tha Supavillain Says:

    We will know exactly what we have in our young dbs’ by seasons end. The fact that theses guys ware going to play will ultimately save us time in our overall goal of developing the defense. If they cant play we can cut bait and move on, parting ways with a late round pick isnt uncommon or expensive. If they do turn out to be good young players they will have a lot of experience going into next year to build on.

    What does R woodson bring to the dance? These youngsters are guys he worked out and gave his input to Al, and Davis made the call. This gives Davis the chance to evaluate woodson. There has been somewhat of a shift to play more zone. Just as woodson said he would do. Davis allowed him to pick his own guys to play his style in the secondary.

    Even though the loss of starters in the secondary has forced us to be vanilla, we still are watching something very exciting. A new secondary coach, hall of famer, groom his hand picked players and install his philosophy. I am willing to live with the result.

  229. SnB offense defense specialteams Says:

    Gap integrity, discipline, attention to detail and responsibility are phrases being thrown around more than footballs at the Raiders year-round facility in Alameda this week.
    =====================================================
    You guys with Madden 12 outlook on how a team should be built…need to internalize that statement above..cause at the end of the day…if you can’t stop the run you can’t win.

    Its embarrassing that this defense is dead last in average run yards per carry … Henderson in the middle gives us a fighting chance.

    Now, these other guys have to do their job and start sticking their head in and filling these gaps…Henderson will keep McClain clean…if Hendu is the guy for most snaps…you will see McClain making some plays down hill

  230. antispy3 Says:

    You guys are missing the point of the importance of having Marcel Reese as the FB.

    The Raiders lead the league by a vast margin in lining up in a traditional two back set.

    From this two back set their FB can split out into the slot & run a seam route. With Kevin Boss the TE to the other side running another seam route this could suffice, according to the coverage, act as clearing routes for an underneath route or, like happened early against the Jets & repeadetly against the Patsies, Boss is open.

    Only two other fullbacks in the entire league afford their teams this advantage; FB as Hback/WR.

    Also; before Reeese went down against the Jets he put on a coupla sweet blocks on the perimeter. That will be missed, too, especially on Sunday.

    To his credit Hue won’t bring back any of his speed oriented players until their wheels can accept the toll. He even has been easing them back into action.

    Remember the old days of the Raider five man passing routes? Max protection was unheard of. Maybe the FB stayed in to block.

    Can’t make a steady diet of that, but if the Raiders Oline acquaints themselves as I expect on Sunday, look for some of that action when Reese returns. . .

  231. Master Beeecham Says:

    Cuban chicks usually give below average hand jobs.

    If they’re wasted on wine coolers they tend to forget what they’re doing and kinda just wander off into the hot tub.

    Some do excel in the doggy style position, but only if you put some fried yucca on top of the tv.

    SnB,

    John Henderson was on the field for those big runs this past weekend.

    Now Kelly, Seymour, AND Henderson on the field at the same time should get some results.

    But I’m still concerned about the run defense when we go to the nickel with just McClain as the only LB.

    THAT is the defense that just gets ran all over.

  234. ghostraiders Says:

  236. Otis60 Says:

    I agree #230. I know the Raiders D has had a habit in two of their games of stopping the team from scoring in the first half and then laying an egg in the second, but I think we will know how we will do if they stop the run or at least slow it down in the first half.

  237. RaiderRetribution Says:

    Mr. Reece is an awesome fullback, arguably the best in the game; he blocks well, and he is without a doubt the biggest threat to catch a ball deep down field.

    When healthy I expect him to pull a Mr. Kenny King.

  238. raiderkoolaid Says:

    Moving Seymour over to DE and putting Henderson in to slow down the run makes sence, but I am surprised that they would talk about it publicly instead of just doing it without the Texans anticipating it.

    ===================================

    Saw that on Adam Schefters Twitter feed. He was good against the run w/ the donks, anyone know if he’s got anything left in the tank?

  246. Sullivan44 Says:

    “No! Jace! What’s he doing?,” coach Hue Jackson shrieked as Campbell’s second-and-goal pass from the 6-yard line went directly to New England safety Patrick Chung for a momentum-altering interception.

    Jackson, wearing a microphone for an NFL Network feature, was echoing the sentiments of virtually everyone watching the game either on site or on television about the biggest play in a 31-19 loss by the Raiders.

    It was enough to shake the confidence of fans who had just begun to accept Campbell as the quarterback who could lead the Raiders to the postseason, many of whom never wanted to see Bruce Gradkowski leave town.

    Campbell’s second interception, when he failed to see 6-foot-2, 325 pound nose tackle Vince Wilfork standing between himself and running back Darren McFadden, caused more doubt.

    “There was no pressure there, why were you going to the check down?,” Jackson inquired. Campbell said something about a matchup.

    “It’s not about a matchup there, baby, it’s Cover 2,” Jackson said, indicating there was no need for the dump-off pass against a two-deep zone.

    GhostRaiders,

    Think I had Houston beating us 24-20 Sunday, or something close to that. Quote my original prediction from yesterday.

  252. Sullivan44 Says:

    Belichick wrote the blueprint to stopping Hue’s improved and scrappy Raider offense. Just stack the box, put the game in Campbell’s hands. There’s only one solution. Replace Campbell.

  253. Otis60 Says:

    If the Raiders can hold Foster to 4 even or less a carry then they turned a corner.

  254. Sullivan44 Says:

    It’ll be close because our defense will be jacked up, considering the microscope they’re now under. Campbell doesn’t respond to pressure, so it won’t make a difference regarding him. He should throw at least one costly interception. Houston in a close one.

  255. ghostraiders Says:

    Yea… when was the last time you predicted a Raiders win…? apparently you had them 0-4 right now… You’re a pathetic Raiders fan… if you are one…

  256. MiamiRaider78 Says:

    First few minutes of the game will be cruial especially with Henderson starting at DT and Seymour moving to end. If the Texans starting running for chunks early…long day. Fingers crossed.

  257. Otis60 Says:

    If JC can lead the Raiders to three wins out of the next four games then I will forget about his end zone pick. If he doesn’t then that pick will be like the Seabass missed field goal last year.

  258. antispy3 Says:

    The more I observe from the front running talking head sect the more convinced I am the Raiders will come with their strongest, most consistent performance of the year. I really feel the positive vibe.

    =============

    You know nothing.

    Belicheats “blueprint” 32nd ranked defense gave up 507 yds to the Raiders with Campbelk throwing for over 300 yds+.

    Your right that Campbell f’ed up those two trows but it had nothing to do with Belichick’s derfensive genius at all.

    Good gawd man…

  265. GoodOle00 Says:

    Each man on D stay home, don’t give up the cutback. Wrap and tackle. strip the ball, we win.

  266. Otis60 Says:

    I also have a good feeling about this game. I think the Raiders offense will keep us close with anybody. I think we will know how the Raiders will fare by halftime.

  267. Davy Jones Says:

    Those who pick the Raiders to win have to get closer to the score than 30 other people to win. As the only person who picks the Raiders to lose, you have no competition when they lose. Nostradamus you’re not.

  271. Davy Jones Says:

    “Sully” says whatever he thinks will rile other Raider fans the most. He is a fan of the Raiders, but only when they lose. He is a fan of Raider players and coaches, but only when they’ve moved on to other teams.

  272. Otis60 Says:

    I harp on JC’s end zone interception but I will not give up on him because of two interceptions. That may change if we don’t win three of the next four, though if that happens that could be because of our D more than JC. I think with this schedule we can win three of four and I have faith we can run the rack on the next four games.

  273. raiderkoolaid Says:

    If Pryce does have anything left in the tank, 20 snaps a game from him could be a difference maker. Obviously something has to be done whether Shaughenessy will be coming back soon or not. I don’t think it is neccesarely an indication of Shaughenessy’s health.

  274. DKnight007 Says:

    Put Seymour back in at the RDE position, and get Hendu in there at DT.

    They also need to hope McClain, Groves and Wimbley step it up.

    Branch needs to step it the hell up also!

    The whole damn defense needs to step it up as well the DC Chuck B!!

  275. Otis60 Says:

    If McClain steps up then the Texans and the rest of the teams we play are in trouble.

  278. antispy3 Says:

    Post # 264; been preaching that message all week. . .Patsies are nothing special. bend but don’t break.

    The only thing that almost got broken was DMAC when Mayo & Spikes tried to plant him. that was the only thing they had last week. They’re nothing special. They just execute on every play. Nut their D is soft.

    Perhaps that’s the Raiders destiny for the season. Retribution for all things patsy (The Snowjob, last week’s game).

    That would be fitting Karma. . .

  279. DKnight007 Says:

    NO turnovers on offense and NO stupid penalties on 3rd downs from the defense!!!

  280. Davy Jones Says:

    I think hoping for Henderson to be the savior of anything at this point in his career is a false hope. We’ll get good play from him in spots, but he’s too old and too injury prone.

    What we really need to stop the run is improved LB play.

    What we really need to free up the pass rush is improved secondary play.

  281. Otis60 Says:

    With their D, I don’t think the Pats are going very far in the playoffs.

  282. priesttj Says:

  283. KoolKell Says:

    A lot of you people worry about what bloggers say, analyst’s say, he said, she said.

    You need to worry about what goes on, on the field, and let that speak for itself.

  284. DKnight007 Says:

    Seymour in at RDE and put Bryant in as the DT or keep Seymour at DT and put Bryant at the RDE during run downs.

    Bryant might be able to get off blocks quicker at 290 at the RDE position on run plays.

  285. Otis60 Says:

    I’ll take Henderson giving good play in spots. We are 2-2 and we we would be 3-1 with a second half below average defense in Buffalo. I am hoping our D is not as bad as it looks considering who we have played. Buffalo and the Patriots are making defenses look bad this year.

  286. GoodOle00 Says:

    McClain needs to generate turn overs

  287. DKnight007 Says:

    I want to see Chuck B blitz McClain up the middle more let him blow up the Center or Guards and allow him to hit right off the bat!

  290. DKnight007 Says:

    They need to play TEAM DEFENSE and get their heads out of their asses for 4 damn quarters!!

  291. Otis60 Says:

    I know I am making excuses but the injury bug has not been kind to our secondary.

  292. priesttj Says:

    Hate losing Shonasty HATE IT! We tried to draft Trevor Pryce and he could be very useful down the stretch but we need Shonasty back ASAP!

  293. Otis60 Says:

    You’re right Knight, its not all on RoMac because the Raiders run defense has been bad for a long time but he was drafted to do a job.

  294. GoodOle00 Says:

    Bryant has rotated in at RDE and been pretty good there too…

  295. raiderkoolaid Says:

    I am trying to remember who it was, but back at the beginning of our run of good seasons in the early 2000’s, we picked up a big nose tackle about two weeks before the beginning of the regular season, and it really solidified our defense.

  296. priesttj Says:

    It’s better to play Des Bryant at DE than Seymour he is quicker than Big Sey and more athletic.

    Seymour needs to start at LEFT DE in place of Houston.

    Let Moss and Wimbley play ShoNasty’s spot until he’s healthy.

    I agree that Bryant should be a DE, but I think he needs to back up the BASE DE position.

    Man, I’m only on the 2nd series of the Pats possession and McClain really is not playing good run defense. Not attacking the line or running to the gap with efficiency …looks like he’s lacking instincts. A number of these runs so far is him not getting it done.

  303. Otis60 Says:

    Otis

    It’s an interesting statement, and, for him to say that publicly………….he feels he’s not going to get in trouble, or, he’s taking the heat off Al.

    Al’s gotta let it happen, surely he must know, this is probably his last chance.

  311. Davy Jones Says:

    Taking the long view on the Raiders this year, after this game they have an easy stretch: Cleveland, KC, bye week, Denver- all at home.

    In that stretch, they need to keep focus on winning those three games and not falling into a trap, AND getting healthy while playing at home with a week off.

    Because after the Denver game, the going gets tough. San Diego and Minn on the road, Chicago at home, Miami and Green Bay on the road, Detroit at Home, KC on the road, San Diego at home.

    They need a split with San Diego, to sweep the other AFC teams, to beat win the games that people would expect (Minnesota and Miami) and at least one that people wouldn’t expect (I like Chicago at home. Detroit looks nasty, believe it or not, and GB in December? Forget about it.)

    Taking all that into consideration, this Houston game is crucial. They’ve got to launch into the easy part of their schedule on a roll, so they can get healthy and explode into the home stretch. Come on Raidaz!

  312. Thec07 Says:

    I sure hope so.

  315. Otis60 Says:

    Thec, I can’t say if McClain is our worst MLB ever but I hope since he has a rep as a film fiend he will improve. He seems to be like DHB, motivated but not quite getting it. I always have hope for guys with great attitudes.

  316. Otis60 Says:

    Hue is smart. He is giving Al plenty of credit. In fact he even gave a shout out to Amy so I think Al will give him a longer rope than he would others.

  317. TerrapinRaider Says:

    That INT was all on Campbell. Can’t blame DHB for that. He wasn’t even eligible OOB. And if he came in it was still an INT. One of those situations where QB has too much time and his mental clock is saying over time.

  318. Davy Jones Says:

    Corkran said in last week’s chat that he hadn’t seen or heard anything from anyone that would indicate friction between Hue and Al Davis.

    Hue is getting results on offense. He knows it, Al knows it, and non-haters know it. The team is getting better through the draft and the defense will come along.

    Hue knew the score as well as or better than all the anti-Al posters when he took the job. He knows how the team works, for better and worse.

    I know it’s pretty futile around here to say this, but how about not looking for rifts that aren’t there?

    Plenty to root for this year, how about giving Al a break and talking about Darren McFadden, the best Raider player since Bo Jackson?

  319. TerrapinRaider Says:

    Thec, I can’t say if McClain is our worst MLB ever but I hope since he has a rep as a film fiend he will improve. He seems to be like DHB, motivated but not quite getting it. I always have hope for guys with great attitudes.

    ++++++++++==

    I have more hope in the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, than i have in this guy being anything more than a SS or FS…

    He lacks EVERTHING a MLB/Mike would need
    Ball instincts
    Mean streak
    Attacker
    Run smasher
    Great blitzer
    Feared hitter
    Go side line to side line
    Allways around the ball

    I’m submitting for the goofy name list:

    • Rolando McWhiffer

    don’t forget JaBustus…

  323. JB Says:

    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 things a LB let alone MLB should not have. 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.

    I am trying to think who would be a worse MLB than McClain and it comes down to Morrison or whoever was the MLB in the 1961 or 1962 teams. At this point in his career you are probably right Thec but I still have hopes he pulls a “Nnamdi.”

    I know it’s pretty futile around here to say this, but how about not looking for rifts that aren’t there?

    Plenty to root for this year, how about giving Al a break and talking about Darren McFadden, the best Raider player since Bo Jackson?

    In defense of McClain, he may not be as good as people thought he would be but unlike Russell he seems to take his craft more seriously.

    ====================================

    Interesting statistic, KK. Says good things and bad things.

    Definitely puts a spot light on the passing game’s fits and starts and some poor play by the O in the red zone. Can’t blame any of that on the O line . . .

    But it’s mostly REALLY GOOD news. This O line is young and is going to be good for a long time, gonna open it up for DMAC for a long time.

  328. Otis60 Says:

    Don’t worry Davy, If the Raiders go 10-6 or better, Al will be given plenty of breaks.

    Otis

    It’s an interesting statement, and, for him to say that publicly………….he feels he’s not going to get in trouble, or, he’s taking the heat off Al.

    Al’s gotta let it happen, surely he must know, this is probably his last chance.
    —————-
    OMFG, KK has actually taken a sip of the kool-aid. Way to go! BRAVO!!

    ======================================

    And to think that I just complemented you. Take some of your own medicine and quit telling all us grown azzed fans what we should think about Al Davis.

    You do it more than me. Fact.

    So, does that mean he’s just seriously bad?

  332. Whats a Drexl? Says:

    KK drinking the AD has turned the corner kool-aid, letting Hue “meddle” with the D now. I love you KK!!

  333. Whats a Drexl? Says:

    Don’t get drunk on the Al Davis kool-aid KK, take it easy, the stuff is potent, but oh so sweet.

  334. Otis60 Says:

    One Reece comes back and DMAC is 100 percent the Raiders will be a force. Since the O line lacks experience they can only get better.

  335. Whats a Drexl? Says:

    What an actually intelligent article this afternoon, some actual insight even.
    Ring out did him self. Bravo Ring!

  336. TerrapinRaider Says:

    OMG. That run by Ridley was horrid for McClain. He could’ve hit that gap but he slowed up for the blocker and waited on Branch.

  337. Otis60 Says:

    #331 yes for now. He is motivated so I have hope he will turn a corner. Like I have said before, if this defense just plays below average or even better, average, we will be fine thanks to our O.

  338. Otis60 Says:

    #336 it has been mentioned by others, but it seems McClain is doing too much thinking and not playing enough instinctive ball.

  339. HayesDaze37 Says:

    Ahhh… It’s a great night to be a Raiders fan. Isn’t it?!

    DVD Starting? No drop-off from Chimdi…they’re both going to mature at the position nicely. Bresnahan was responsible for Chimdi getting schooled on so many plays last week — not Tom Brady. Routt should’ve been on Wes like a blanket. DVD’s a future star at CB. Next man up.

    Gap Discipline?? What a novel concept.

  340. MiamiRaider78 Says:

    I think Rod Woodson could shape DVD into a great corner. In preseason all DVD wasnt doing correct- getting his head turned around in time while the ball was approaching…looked great blanketing the wr. Aren’t you supposed to wait until the receivers eyes light up and then you attempt to make a play on the ball? He’ll learn in due time! the U! Go Raiders!

  341. anhdazman Says:

    Houston, Kelly, Henderson and Seymour. Heck yeah lets give it a try. More beef on 1st and 2nd down to get after the RBs. Why haven’t we given this a try earlier? Obvious passing down, put Wimbley, Bryant, Scott and Moss in there. We need to do some big changes to stop the run. Our base defense isn’t getting anything done.

    Agreed 100%
    Ro Bozzworth. Perfect .
    On paper and in college Ro Bozworth was a beast. Won Botkus trophy just like Patrick Willis. Ro Bozworth ran a respectable 4.67 40 dash time. But he now runs sideline to sideline like a 5.0 40 guy. And does everything wrong as you mentioned. Man I wa so hoping we get our stud MLB like niners and not to have to deal w this weak guy. Ro Bozworth makes me have fond memories of captain Kirk who’s now a third stringer in Buffalo. Wow.
