McClain, Shaughnessy, Reece not at practice
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, October 12th, 2011 at 11:15 am in Oakland Raiders.
Fullback Marcel Reece, middle linebacker Rolando McClain and defensive end Matt Shaughnessy are not at practice today.
Reece and Shaughnessy missed the past two games, Reece with an ankle injury, Shaughnessy because of a sore shoulder. McClain hurt an ankle against the Houston Texans last Sunday.
The Raiders worked out linebackers Prescott Burgess and Kevin Malast on Tuesday, but they opted against signing either player. Also, Ricky Brown was placed on injured reserve Saturday, so he is out for the season.
For now, McClain’s backup is Darryl Blackstock, a core special teams player to date. He played under defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan with the Cincinnati Bengals in the past and in the UFL last season.
Tight end Richard Gordon (hand) also is not at practice. He did not play against the Texans as a result of the broken hand he suffered against the New England Patriots.
Cornerbacks Chris Johnson and Chimdi Chekwa are back at practice, though it appears as if they are limited. Both didn’t play against the Texans.
A player is wearing No. 32 at practice. Coincidentally, running back Nic Grigsby is not at practice. Well, at least in the white No. 32 he wore last week, when he was signed to the practice squad.
It appears as if Grigsby has been converted to defensive back. We won’t know for sure until practice ends, and coach Hue Jackson and the players are available to the media.
Kicker Sebastian Janikowski was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week for his four-field goal performance against the Texans.
Three of his field goals were from at least 50 yards, only the fifth time in history a player has accomplished that feat.
Rookie quarterback Terrelle Pryor is practicing with his teammates for the first time since his five-game suspension ended. The Raiders now have three quarterbacks on their roster for the first time this season.
Not that it matters much, the way Jason Campbell is playing. Backup Kyle Boller has yet to take a snap in any of Oakland’s five games.
Former Raiders running back Napoleon Kaufman is a visitor at today’s practice. Coach Hue Jackson attends the church that Kaufman preaches at in the east bay.

Mistic was a runner up for Best Raider Fan Ever (behind perennial champion Plunketthead), so you can;t fault him for passion.
Mistic:
IMPOSTER FANS BEWARE! The ghost of Al Davis and his hand-picked succesor Hue Jack are marching on your trampled, feeble forms as we speak!

Puhlease. Grow some nuts, LA.
Mistic’s definition of imposter is anyone with criticism towards the players he loves. I seem to remember you being critical of Soup. And Method makes his displeasure with DHB well known in here. Gee, the very 2 players I criticized last year. Welcome to the imposter club…
I can appreciate passion, just don’t be stupid about it. Plenty of passionate fans in here that are real about our players abilities.

Come on, dog, that’s BS. I have been critical of JC. I am starting to come around, but he has a way to go. Not annointing him like Mistic has.
Just cause you got a problem ol boy him don’t mean you gotta tell me to grow a pair.
I’m not taking his side in your little trist, either. I think Mistic has colorful posts and I did my little take on Mistic (IE: Imposter Fans beware, the ghost of Al Davis.. etc.), which isn’t the first time I’ve done it.
Chill.

Not calling you an imposter fan, Banana. Just to clarify,
Mistic:
IMPOSTER FANS BEWARE! The ghost of Al Davis and his hand-picked succesor Hue Jack are marching on your trampled, feeble forms as we speak!
I’m doing my take on Mistic here. He thinks its funny and he can laugh at himself a bit too.
October 12th, 2011 at 11:23 am
Wait i never called banana in the tail pipe an impostor. Is he?
Impostor is reserved for those that only pretend to be raider fans yet they cant stand davis or his draft picks or the vertical passing game. They dont like natural pressure and man to man press coverage. they want us to switch to 3-4 zone blitz like pitt, they want us to get noodle arm qbs and run wco percentage football.
They like our uniform and Super villain imgae, and nothing more. they were in here wishing death on davis, and now they advocate bringing in some one that will change the raider brand.
clear?

Interesting facts
phillip rivers 125/186 67.2 cmp %1536 yards 8.26 yard per att 6td 7int 4 fumbles rating of 87.6
orton 91/155 58.7 cmp% 979 yards 6.32 yard per att

Jc 94/156 60.3 1118 yards 7.17 yards per att
6td ( 2 rushing td 8 total) 4int 1 fumble 84.3 rating
Looks like Jc is on par with any qb in our division.
he only trails rivers in cmp % yards and rating, but he has less turnovers, and throws the ball down field more than rivers.
In fact “captain check down” is leading the afc west in throwing down field, and turns the ball over less than any qb in the division.
Jc has the best td to turn over ratio in the division as well. rivers is the only other qb to have a rushing td giving him 7td / 11 turnovers. Jc has 8td/ 5 turnovers.
Dont look now but at this moment we are being treated to the best qb play in the afc west!

No worries then. Your timing was interesting with Mistic and I going back and forth.

I’ll tell you this, though Banana. If JC takes us places, Mistic will owe me and a lot of folks on this blog a big ‘I told you so.’
I thought it was another former 1st round scholarship recipient we brought in (after just getting rid of one), but I think JC is growing into his leadership role here.
I expect a big game from him on Sunday.

I couldnt really answer that other than to say he should be fairly according to market value. finishing in the top 15 he should be paid in that range for qbs’. the scale should slide either way according to his performance. i dont think he owes any home town discount, nor should he accept that. pay the man his fair share and lets keep rolling

Believe me when I say this, it’s a product of good coaching, improved o-line play, and DMAC. That said, yes, he’s doing a good job of complimenting our offense. I’d like to see him improve on the deep ball. It’s why the big dog brought him here in the first place.

NOBODY gets placed on I.R. for one concussion, especially if it’s not a reoccurring thing. This is Ricky’s first. He missed plenty of time in previous seasons due to various other injuries – knee, ankle, etc
I do not want Darryl Blackstock starting at MLB against Peyton Hillis

Playing like one. With all those INTs. Haven’t watched all their games so not sure if those are tipped balls or what. I know he has the ability to play better, and that much is evident in his yardage total and completion percentage.

McClain’s health all depends on if it’s a low ankle or high ankle sprain. If it’s low, by Saturday, he’ll more than likely be good, and if it’s a high ankle sprain (which I doubt because he probably would not have finished the game being the injury happened in the first half), he would be out for a couple weeks possibly. I sincerely think if he was gonna miss a couple weeks, we would’ve brought someone else in besides Prescott Burgess and Malast. Hell, Lofa woulda gotta call if that were the case. McClain will be fine.

“Treasure Island”
Come on man you cant put a football stadium on a single exit off a bridge, think about it.
Santa Clara makes sense but just because you don’t like the logistics of it does not mean its not a good deal.
The cold hard facts are that if we share a stadium with the other team here in the bay Area we will get twice the money needed to build it from the NFL just like the New York teams did.
Don’t let a good business move become clouded by your own personal wants and desires.

Hue’s primary focus this week must be getting the team to NOT look past the Browns or to get distracted by all the upcoming AD segment that will be happening throughout the game. This team mans up well against teams that are supposedly better. We don’t do well when playing against weaker teams. We seem to play down to their ability. Tat needs to change. We really need to take them all one by one and NEVER underestimate any team’s ability to beat us if we are not paying attention. This week’s preparation will be BIG for HuJack.
Rolando McWhiffer will most likely rest all weak and play on Sunday. We just don’t have any replacements. They might try to give him a little rest by going with a 5-2-4 alignment at times. They did that in past games and it worked well against the run game.
We really need to get Reece back. He’s another BIG weapon that makes a difference. We also need to get Boss more involved in the passing game. He will end up being a BIG target for Soup. I’d really like to see a blowout with us being on top.

What do you mean? Tebow has played one half of a game this year, the rest on this list started all 5 games this year. You cant compare stats of one half to 5 games, thats ridiculous
completion percentage is lower, but he goes down field much more than any other qb in the division.
he has the best td to turnover ratio, and oh dont forget he is 7-0 against the division, and owns the other qb in head to head matchups. His team is in 2nd place at 3-2

Come on man you cant put a football stadium on a single exit off a bridge, think about it.
Santa Clara makes sense but just because you don’t like the logistics of it does not mean its not a good deal.
The cold hard facts are that if we share a stadium with the other team here in the bay Area we will get twice the money needed to build it from the NFL just like the New York teams did.
Don’t let a good business move become clouded by your own personal wants and desires.
*********************
Of course you are correct about the bridge off-ramps but I’m not happy with Santa Clara either. Truth be told, I’m happy with what we’ve got. What specifically is so wrong with the Colliseum? The traffic access is good, it has BART access, parking seems adequate, the seating is good. The staff is more than adequate, the field is fine, it has luxury boxes, so what is so bad? Maybe they need to upgrade some of the infrastructure – locker rooms, medical facilities, etc. but overall, why do we need a new stadium?

BEREA, Ohio (AP)—Browns starting cornerback Joe Haden(notes) and center Alex Mack(notes) are not practicing and their status for Sunday’s game in Oakland remains unclear.
Haden sprained his left knee on Oct. 2 against Tennessee and the Browns’ top defensive back hasn’t been cleared to practice. Mack had an appendectomy on Oct. 3, one day after playing all 87 snaps against the Titans despite being ill.
Mack was on the field with his teammates for practice Wednesday, but only as an observer. He stood to the side and watched his the Browns offensive line did drills.
Coach Pat Shurmur remains hopeful that he’ll have two of his best players Sunday when the Browns (2-2) visit the Raiders (3-2).

We don’t but our lease expires in 2013 or 2014 I forget.
At that point we will have a few offers one will be LA.
So in the mean time the City of Oakland is not doing anything to try and extend our lease. Which means we will have to look at other offers if they do not change their mind between now and then.

orton 91/155 58.7 cmp% 979 yards 6.32 yard per att

Jc 94/156 60.3 1118 yards 7.17 yards per att
6td ( 2 rushing td 8 total) 4int 1 fumble 84.3 rating
Looks like Jc is on par with any qb in our division.
he only trails rivers in cmp % yards and rating, but he has less turnovers, and throws the ball down field more than rivers.
In fact “captain check down” is leading the afc west in throwing down field, and turns the ball over less than any qb in the division.
Jc has the best td to turn over ratio in the division as well. rivers is the only other qb to have a rushing td giving him 7td / 11 turnovers. Jc has 8td/ 5 turnovers.
Dont look now but at this moment we are being treated to the best qb play in the afc west!

Looks like he is the worst of a not so good bunch. Hot horrible, but not very great either.

Reece is the X factor of the offense. McFadden’s outside pitch plays have died. Reason? Reece being an X WR is college is fast. He runs a 4.5-4.6 for a FB, thats unheard of (typical Al lol). He is able to get out in front of Mcfadden fast enough to block, that way mc fadden can fly thru holes and seams and not have to wait patiently for a blocker (gordon, tonga)for a play to develop. Reece is crucial to what mcfaddens success.

The City of Oakland is now being led by a group of idiots. They will soon figure out that they need the Raiders to stay to help amortize the investment the City & County already made. It’s not like there’s a line of people waiting to take over the Raider lease. The Raiders are in an excellent bargaining position for a new lease. it’s my estimate that they could get infrastructure if that’s what is needed. It just makes sense. The Raiders are as much a part of Oakland as Oakland is a part of the Raiders. They BOTH need each other badly. It’s a 50 year marriage that was meant to be.

October 12th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
I know it’s ancient news in terms of the blog entries, but did want to point one thing out on a controversial play. On the sack/too many men on the field call, many are saying that the Raiders ended up in a better place due the yardage and where Houston finally stalled out. But that’s missing one HUGE point. When the sack occurred, there was 1:22 left on the clock. The clock was stopped due to the initial face masking call against Kelly. However, by declining the call (and without the 12 man thing involved) the refs should have set the ball at the spot of the sack AND started the clock rolling. Instead, they ended up after all the penalty solving starting the next play at 1:22.
Given the distance, time out and clock time situation for Houston at that point in the game, I say that the Raiders would have been much better off taking the sack and 15-20 seconds off the clock. That would have put Houston in a much worse situation than they were in on that last play. They would have had time for maybe two less plays, and would have been forced to go with more sideline routes allowing the Raiders D to play a different style.

no comment on jc vs the afc west qbs?
———————————-
considering tebow is in, and had good stats, it appears you probably shouldn’t have posted the above stats.
today, in the division, JC is last in qb rating.
today, in the division, JC is last in completion%
dude, you need to clear the cobwebs.
=============================
What do you mean? Tebow has played one half of a game this year, the rest on this list started all 5 games this year. You cant compare stats of one half to 5 games, thats ridiculous
completion percentage is lower, but he goes down field much more than any other qb in the division.
he has the best td to turnover ratio, and oh dont forget he is 7-0 against the division, and owns the other qb in head to head matchups. His team is in 2nd place at 3-2
cold hard facts jc is giving us the best qb play in the afc west to this point of the season.
——————-
we will have to agree to disagree.
“his team”?
for what it’s worth, some can state team won in spite of JC’s play, and truth be told, the AFC special teams player of the week got that cuz of his 4 FG’s.
Stop with the “he is 7-0 against the division”. Don’t you mean the raiders are 7-0 against the division?
I see you lean toward giving JC total props when team wins, as if he did it on his own, and points the finger away from JC on losses.
your point he is far and away the best qb in the division.
simple stats say otherwise.
Al gave him a one year contract for a reason.

Speaking of being behind in the blog, has anyone lately talked about an issue with DHB’s hands? Remember, this was the WR that couldn’t catch. The last few games he’s catching pretty much everything thrown his way, including some very nice grabs on plays that end up out of bounds (due to Campbell’s throwing location, not the WR’s fault) that would otherwise count for more catches.
By removing that one big liability, he is slowly and silently becoming the clear #1 WR on the team, based on how often he’s on the field in relation to the rest of the crew.

October 12th, 2011 at 12:36 pm
ZYmurge – no doubt, he’s ballin’, but Denarius is still our clear cut #1. As long as Campbell puts it in his radius, he’s coming down with the catch. That’s the definition of a true #1.
October 12th, 2011 at 12:36 pm
I like tonga, he is a solid blocker and has a mean streak, his blocking seems better than recces especially in space. But tonga is one dimensional, he is no threat other than to block and this hurts the offense.
When reec is back there, the defense doesnt know if he will get the ball on a hand off, or if he will be lead blocking, or if he will leak out for a pass pattern. Not to mention all of the games hu jack likes to play with motions and shifting reece, out wide across the formation, or from out wide into the back field. he creates so many problems for the defense that he cant be replaced. His blocking is shakey at times but we can get by with it. the other things that he brings to the table are where is real value are, and tonga simply cant match that

October 12th, 2011 at 12:40 pm
Both Tonga, and Reece add value to the Raiders offense in diffrent ways. One is a better blocker, one is a better offensive threat, anyne can make the case for either.
From a value perspective, I will let coach Jackson make that determination on who is what right now I am glad we have both…

hat do you mean? Tebow has played one half of a game this year, the rest on this list started all 5 games this year. You cant compare stats of one half to 5 games, thats ridiculous
completion percentage is lower, but he goes down field much more than any other qb in the division.
he has the best td to turnover ratio, and oh dont forget he is 7-0 against the division, and owns the other qb in head to head matchups. His team is in 2nd place at 3-2
cold hard facts jc is giving us the best qb play in the afc west to this point of the season.
——————-
we will have to agree to disagree.
“his team”?
for what it’s worth, some can state team won in spite of JC’s play, and truth be told, the AFC special teams player of the week got that cuz of his 4 FG’s.
Stop with the “he is 7-0 against the division”. Don’t you mean the raiders are 7-0 against the division?
I see you lean toward giving JC total props when team wins, as if he did it on his own, and points the finger away from JC on losses.
your point he is far and away the best qb in the division.
simple stats say otherwise.
Al gave him a one year contract for a reason.
=====================
Al didnt give him a one year contract, he traded for him and he had one year left on his original deal.
The discussion was a COMPARISON OF QBS’ IN THE DIVISION. JC IS 7-0 AGAINST THE OTHER QBS IN THE DIVISION SINCE JOINING THE RAIDERS.
i wasnt comparing teams.
never made a claim about “far and away the best”, your putting words in my mouth.
Dont try to change what i said to make a point, just look at what actually happened and what the numbers actually say, & take your dislike for the starting qb out of the equation.
The cold hard numbers bear witness to the fact that at this moment JC is playing the best qb in the afc west.
dont like it? too bad

The only play for Pryor I would install is a red-zone package. Start with Pryor in the gun and Mc Fadden at his side. Then Pryor Motions out wide to WR and Mc Fadden is in Gun (wildcat threat) then Mc fadden throws it up in end zone to Pryor or runs it in.

Thanks for the heads up Hairy & RR. Murphy at half a mill is a great value. Can see a couple teams calling for him, and truthfully wouldn’t mind if we kept him or traded him for defensive help at LB or a 3rd rounder packaged with another late rounder. 500K for a receiver that can be a true #2 WR when healthy is great value.

Ouch, ROG!
you can’t dispute facts

So was reece blocking for DMAC back to back weeks vs pitt and miami?
Thanks….that was too easy to kill…..yall gotta come better than that
Yall act like we just played a scrub defense sunday and Gordon who wasnt a FB was blocking and DMAC l;eft game early vs Pats so your arguments have holes in em….I can patch em up for ya

Reece is the X factor of the offense. McFadden’s outside pitch plays have died. Reason? Reece being an X WR is college is fast. He runs a 4.5-4.6 for a FB, thats unheard of (typical Al lol). He is able to get out in front of Mcfadden fast enough to block, that way mc fadden can fly thru holes and seams and not have to wait patiently for a blocker (gordon, tonga)for a play to develop. Reece is crucial to what mcfaddens success.

Meth – I hear ya on Tonga….He brought that toughness to Cushing every time they actually engaged. He did whiff a few times and was slow to get on someone a couple times though, but you made your best point yet in mentioning Houston’s D. That was easily the best defense we played this year and it’s not even close.
October 12th, 2011 at 12:51 pm
I think Pryor should go to Coach Jackson and volunteer to play on the kick coverage team. I doubt that the coach would let him do it, but it would show that he is willing to do whatever it takes to help the team.
October 12th, 2011 at 12:52 pm
I beat the drum for Hendu to get more playing time since Summer 2010….you notice how many been bowing down and admitting the B@uce was on time with that one? You will do it with Tonga as well and appreciate his toughness in the run blocking game. Reece no doubt still needs to play

October 12th, 2011 at 12:56 pm
Ghost,
Murphy led our WR’s by default. There was no other WR on the roster. Now that DHB appears to have located his ball sack, add to the mix Moore, and Ford now we have some depth!
I would Trade Murphy before he blows out his groin for good with a viagra overdose.
Chekwa does look decent, the best case scenario would be for CJ to get 100% healthy and back in the lineup and then Chekwa is going up against the #3 WR vs the #2.

Come on man you cant put a football stadium on a single exit off a bridge, think about it.
Santa Clara makes sense but just because you don’t like the logistics of it does not mean its not a good deal.
The cold hard facts are that if we share a stadium with the other team here in the bay Area we will get twice the money needed to build it from the NFL just like the New York teams did.
Don’t let a good business move become clouded by your own personal wants and desires.

Not a good business move if the whiners own the place and take a cut of the Raider revenue. The Raiders would be renters.

Pryor developing into a stud would be a great story and fitting for our deceased emperor. But thats a couple years off fellas. Remember, JC was also Al’s guy, and right now, he’s doing his thing managing the game. If he starts nailing these sideline throws at least 3 times a game, we’re gonna be a real 35+ a game problem.

you must be having trouble reading i havent omitted any stats, i havent asked you to remove any stats form the topic, other than tebow and his half of a game.
You are only considering comp% and qb rating, i am looking at the whole picture to base my assessment. If you dont get it i cant help you.
here is the original post although i know it kills you to read these facts.

Interesting facts
phillip rivers 125/186 67.2 cmp %1536 yards 8.26 yard per att 6td 7int 4 fumbles rating of 87.6
orton 91/155 58.7 cmp% 979 yards 6.32 yard per att
8td 7int 2 fumbles rating 75.7
cassel 93/140 66.4cmp% 945 yards 6.7 yards per att
8td 5int 2 fumbles rating of 89.7
Jc 94/156 60.3 1118 yards 7.17 yards per att
6td ( 2 rushing td 8 total) 4int 1 fumble 84.3 rating
Looks like Jc is on par with any qb in our division.
he only trails rivers in cmp % yards and rating, but he has less turnovers, and throws the ball down field more than rivers.
In fact “captain check down” is leading the afc west in throwing down field, and turns the ball over less than any qb in the division.
Jc has the best td to turn over ratio in the division as well. rivers is the only other qb to have a rushing td giving him 7td / 11 turnovers. Jc has 8td/ 5 turnovers.
Dont look now but at this moment we are being treated to the best qb play in the afc west!

“Not a good business move if the whiners own the place and take a cut of the Raider revenue. The Raiders would be renters.”
Come on dude of course its not a good business decision if they are a renters no one would agree to that.
Are the Jets or Giants renters?
That is the kind of deal they are looking for and has been suggested by the commissioner himself.
I understand that most of you don’t want to travel to the South bay for a football game but lets be real here its a lot better than driving to Los Angles every other Sunday. The City of Oakland is not going to make an offer then what are we left with?

Curry really was considered an excellent LB prospect coming out of Wake Forest. Smart, very tough, a big time playmaker, basically every thing you would want. Good against the run and the pass, and could be a pass rusher as well. Funny thing is he might be good inside.

Curry was a beast at Wake. I dont care, I think Seattle either gave up on him too early, or just didnt have the staff to motivate him. Huge steal for our team.

He was due to make $10mm this year and his production did not warrant that kind of money. He wouldn’t restructure. He started with Mora and Casey Bradley and went to Caroll and ken Norton Jr. who never coached LB’s in his life. Someone said they gave up on him too soon. Probably did.

Raiders acquired OLB Aaron Curry from the Seahawks in exchange for a seventh-round pick in 2012 and a conditional mid-round pick in 2013.
The Raiders haven’t scrapped their philosophy of trying to rehabilitate former first-round busts in the post-Al Davis era. Curry, the No. 4 overall pick in the 2009 draft, flamed out in Seattle because he lacked instincts to diagnose run plays and was a zero in pass coverage. Raiders MLB Rolando McClain suffered a potentially serious ankle injury in Week 6, and Curry could be viewed as insurance behind likely replacement starter Darryl Blackstock.

*********************
Historically, that type of player has flourished in Oakland. Witness Mutuzak, Alzedo, Hendricks, etc. and recently Moss, Wimbley, Groves, etc. Curry has an opportunity to become great. That’s something that he didn’t really have in Seattle. This could be the steal of the century. I think he plays WLB but I’m not sure about that.

Very important to jump out early on this team. I want our first drive to result in a TD….the crowd will be in a frenzy but that will set tone for the day. Cleveland coming off a bye so I epxect them to come out and fight
Raiders 31
Brown 21
————————————–
I agree, this is a team the Raiders should put away. The longer the Browns stay in it, the more confidence they’ll have.
This is either a game where the Raiders defense starts to come into its own, in which case this team could really start to gel into a playoff contender, or the Browns offense–which is pretty pathetic–feasts on our shaky secondary.
I’ve watched the Browns all year. Not very impressive. This is the perfect game for the Raiders to put it all together.
