Aaron Curry Q&A
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, October 14th, 2011 at 3:01 pm in Oakland Raiders.
A transcription of an interview with Raiders linebacker Aaron Curry following his first practice:
Q: Has it been a whirlwind, learning you’re traded and now starting on Sunday?
Curry: It’s been very eventful, very exciting. Just to know that Coach has faith in me that I can come in and play right away is a great confidence-booster for me, just to know that he believes in me. My job is to get out there and do my job, be held accountable to do my job and just play hard and fast and fit in with Raider football.
Q: How does it feel to have a fresh start?
Curry: It’s like a breath of fresh air. One of the first things Coach told me is that I didn’t have to worry about any opinions formed on me before the day that he and I met. I’m starting with a clean slate and he doesn’t care what happened back in the past. It’s all about moving on to the future. When he told me that I took a deep breath because that was my biggest concern was would the opinions pass on from club to club or from person to person. With him telling me I had a clean slate that gives me the opportunity to come out here and develop what I want him to see and who I want him to know.
Q: Can you pinpoint why it didn’t work in Seattle?
Curry: Not necessarily. I can’t really pinpoint it. If I could have pinpointed it I might have fixed it. It just didn’t work out. It sucks that it didn’t but I’m excited to be here in Oakland and playing for the Raiders. My brother Eric Barton played here for five years so I’m just getting a shot to carry his legacy on. I’m excited about that.
Q: Strange to get here today, start Sunday?
Curry: When you look at it from the outside in it looks weird but I’ve been practicing all week whether I was wearing blue or whether I was wearing black. I’ve been working on my linebacking skills for the last four weeks, just honing all my skills and learning everything about football, not just about where I was playing in our defense. So I’m prepared to play football. When it comes down to it, who has the ball?
Q: What do you do best?
Curry: Run. The best thing I do is run. Wait for the runner to make a move and run in his direction. That’s my best asset.
Q: Can you see how this system suits that?
Curry: Yes. Definitely. From alignment to assignment, we’re allowed, the whole entire defense, we’re allowed to line up and run and hit. That’s what’s good about this defense. That’s what’s going to be so exciting about this defense.
Q: Have to think before you ran in Seattle?
Curry: Sometimes. Sometimes I was putting too much pressure on myself to do too much thinking versus just running and hitting. When coach told me ‘We’re coming down here to play fast and we’re coming out to play smart as well, but we’re going to play fast and we’re going to run and we’re going to hit, we’re going to be a physical defense,’ … that’s right down my alley.
Q: Moving from Sam to Will, is it a big transition?
Curry: Not a big deal. It would seem like it but as far as the scheme goes, no matter what you name the linebacker it’s pretty much what I played when I played up north. It’s just going out there, similar keys, some different fits but it’s all going to boil down to getting to the football.
Q: Were you upset or angry with how things were going in Seattle?
Curry: I was at first. Naturally, I was just frustrated but I got my focus back and before I left I was at complete peace. I was done focusing on my circumstance. I handed that to my God and let him handle it and he put me where he said I should be. That’s why I’m so excited. I’ve been placed here for a reason. There’s a purpose for me being here and it’s not because of anything that anything that we do. It’s because a divine person said for me to be here. That’s why I’m so excited.
Q: How would you assess your pass coverage skills?
Curry: I would say I’ve gotten way better from my rookie year and it’s going to get even better here because it’s not as complex. We’re using simple terms and we’re going to keep it simple so that we all can play hard, we can all play fast and really hone in on our individual skills.
Q: How were you greeted by your new teammates?
Curry: Everybody’s been excited. Everybody’s been happy saying that they’re happy to have me here. I’ve just been letting them know how excited, how I can wait to get out there on Sunday and play in front of the Black Hole and just go crazy. The last time I saw them I was playing for Seattle so they weren’t for me but when they were cheering for the Raiders they were going nuts. Even the stuff that they were saying toward us, they were going crazy so I just can’t to feel that emotion.
Q: Some of your former teammates are saying now you can relax, without feeling the pressure of being the No. 4 pick . . .
Curry: It was of very, very high expectations that early on I let the pressure get to me, and then when I did let the pressure get to me that was an issue. So it was kind of a back and forth. I really think the expectations are extremely high, and now coach said I’m allowed to come here and just relax and be me. The only expectation is to play Raider football, follow the rules that we follow, play the ball that we play, and take it from there.
Q: Wake Forest defense, how did that role translate to being in NFL?
Curry: Well, the difference when I was in school and the NFL, we played two defenses, when I was in school and we didn’t care that people knew what we were in, we knew how they were going to attack it to beat it. That’s the biggest difference. I played the same thing every snap. If I didn’t play it this way, I played it that way, and it never changed. We didn’t have any exceptions, we didn’t have any options. This is how we play it, this is how you do it. Do it fast, and that was the biggest difference between school and college (think he means school and the NFL) where up north, we had a lot of stuff. You had to be able to do everything. Everybody has to be able to do everything, versus just being just given a role and just taking off with it.
Q: Nervous, this is is your third coach . . . wondering what’s coming down here, what will playbook look like, etc.
Curry: Yeah, of course. The first thing I thought about was the playbook. I knew from the history of the Raiders and their defense, how they do things. I knew some of the stuff. I knew that some of the things they were going to play and how they looked like some of the stuff we did in Seattle, but still, everyone has their own stuff, and so, of course I thought about it and once I got it in my hands yesterday it wasn’t as bad as I thought. Not yet, at least.
Q: Was Wednesday your last day in Seattle . . .
Curry: Tuesday was. Wednesday I didn’t practice. Tuesday was my last day.
Q: When did you start hearing you might be coming to Oakland?
Curry: When they called me and said, that Oakland was looking and was interested. And it was like Wednesday.
Q: What has Blackstock said about being here?
Curry: Blackstock is awesome, man. He just told me we’re going to be given a shot to do what we do as linebackers and he’s really expressed his passion for linebacker play and how we should play, and he’s shown his excitement and he’s helped me with the playbook along with coach Biek, he’s helped me with the playbook and he’s just constantly talking to me and telling me to put the past behind me. He said the same thing, there’s a purpose, and there’s a reason why we’re both here. Last time I saw him I was a 195 pounds coming out of high school and so we both believe that there’s a purpose for us both being here and that’s for us to, for all of us, to go out there and play Raider football. Like, I keep seeing on the walls, it says, `build a bully’ and that’s what I’m excited about.
Q: Had a chance to talk to Groves?
Curry: Yeah, we chatted. I met Groves after one of the preseason games, so it wasn’t really like, we didn’t have to introduce ourselves to each other, it was what’s up, good seeing you again.
Q: Have you talked to your brother Eric Barton about being a Raider?
Curry: Yeah, Eric’s way more excited than I am. I’m excited, and he’s like over-the-mountain excited. He’s like, I mean, when can I come up? Where can I stay? I’ll be there tomorrow. I’ll see you tomorrow. What’s the defense look like? Tell the coaches I say hey? I think he’s revisiting his time here and he had some special time here. I believe he went to the Super Bowl in 2002, so he’s extremely excited. He should be here today and he’s going to show me the ropes and he’s going to tell me all about Raider football, and I’m also excited about that, to actually have the history in my blood and be able to talk to him, he’s going to tell me how it should look and how we should do it.

October 14th, 2011 at 3:15 pm
General Manager?
As the Raiders reportedly embark on a search for a General Manager, they should seriously consider the possibility that first-year coach Hue Jackson is perfectly capable of running the show.
Per a league source, the trade for linebacker Aaron Curry (who’ll debut Sunday as a starter) included a revised contract that limits Oakland’s financial investment in 2011 to $370,000, the prorated remainder of a league-minimum base salary of $370,000.

That’s why you’re here.

Curry its simple see ball tackle ball, and that is where curry is at his best, its a perfect fit.

Rookie quarterback Terrelle Pryor said he had several phone conversations with Davis before he died, with the last one coming a couple of weeks ago.
“He just said, ‘Wait your turn.’ And he said, ‘Just win, baby.’ He said that quite a few times.”

Wonder if its a straight up replacement at WLB or if this means they allow Groves to rush the passer more or play from strong side when Kam has his hand in the dirt.
October 14th, 2011 at 3:31 pm
Should be interesting to see how this linebacker scene shakes out. I’m excited nonetheless. Should be a badass game! Full house…/emotions…..it’ll be electric!

By the way I am damn grateful pop is on the radio, because this station is full of nothing but raider haters! he add perspective and balance and shoots down so many of the myths that surround Davis, as he forged a very solid relationship with him, and was trusted by AL

The big mistake Seattle made with this player is thinking he is going to be a Lawrence Taylor type of pass rusher. Then they started moving him around which probably set him back. Based on everything I am sticking to what I said days ago, that Curry is probably best slated to be inside, and could very well be a pro bowl type MLB.

==============================
We are at our best when we do that, it keeps the players moving instinctively, and frees them up to be athletes. we have mixed things a bit more this season, but its mainly a way to keep the opponent a bit of balance or create the element of surprise.
Curry is definitely better when he just knows his fit and can attack the line of scrimmage, and that is what he will do here.

Chaos, if Herra brought Curry here, I’m in. Who went after him?
____________________________________________
Davis and Hue were seeking him out before this week. They had been eyeing him since the beginning of the year, but his price was too steep. It was only because he got benched this week that they lowered the asking proce, probably considering he was a “Cancer” on his team bringing down Pete Carrols Mojo.
October 14th, 2011 at 3:48 pm
remember though in the nickle they bring in missle mike and he acts like an lb

Right, I was thinking more like Groves and Kam on the ends, but Moss is playing pretty well, so yeah, Groves may be riding the pine.

RaiderAlley,
Get what you’re saying, but at the same time, you got to take a measure of the man himself. Russell obviously has no pride and little self respect.
A guy like DHB has been crucified but his raw talent was obvious and the big difference is he’s a hard worker and its finally paying off for him.
My hope is that Curry turns out like that. Works hard, gives 100% on every play. We got him on the cheap and he was really polished coming out of college so I think he’s got big time potential.
Of course, I’m no expert.
We’ll find out soon enough, cause his @$$ is getting thrown to the wolves like a lot of young Raiders over the last 3 years or so.
May just be the best thing to ever happen to him.
I’m out, Nation.
Be good.

you are right. Let’s see what he can do.

Who didn’t say that about him? Everyone wanted him to play.

All I am saying is that Curry has potential. Its proven in the Raw Uncut video I have on my blog…… RaiderChaos.Blogspot.com………. Jawalrus did it in one game and was not worth it.

I was looking for some stats, and I happened to stumble across DVD’s 40 time for the combine, a 4.28 which I guess at least partially explains why he got drafted by The Raiders, but it brought to mind a play early in the Texan’s game where DVD had covered that reciever, Jones, of the Texans on a deep ball and DVD had done a good job on the play. The TV anouncer commented on how DVD had done a good job staying undernieth the faster player and not let him get behind him. Really, is that Jones of the Texans faster than a 4.28 forty? I wonder where these guys get there info from.

It says more about Groves. The Raiders would not have traded for Curry if Groves was performing as they wanted. Plus, look at how much Groves was playing in the preseason. The writing was already on the wall. They were looking for a replacement since the season started.

October 14th, 2011 at 4:47 pm
The thing is, will Curry be able to “pull the trigger” on sunday?
Good thing the Raiders run an attacking style of defense opposed to a “read & react” principle. The Raiders are responsible for one gap only; the defense Curry was saddled with in Seattle employs a two-gap approach.
Supposedly the Raiders defense plays to Curry’s strengths. The last thing needed are 10 guys flowing to the ball & one guy playing hesitantly. Well, we all know Hue’s approach; go all out. If you make a mistake, make it @ full speed (re: miltiple chunk plays against the defense; reward? sacks/turnovers).
I too am surprised Curry is installed in the lineup soo soon. Perhaps he plays in base situations. Perhaps the Raiders defense is so easy to assimilate (Curry did attend Wake Forest. He graduated. don’t think he suffers from “Deacon Blues”). He’s supposed to be a good pass rusher, or @ least brings the potential. Anxcious to see how he performs as a blitzer. Since he’s starting on the weak side Wimbeley must be playing more end. Probably more base action for Dez Bryant. Gotta reduce Moss’ PT to keep him fresh for the pass rush. But, if the Raiders bring the focus I see no reason they won’t come out & totally annilate the Brownies to the tune of 38-16. I respect Cleveland, but without their best pass rush end & Alex Mack probably out their ability to attack the Raiders will be significantly hindered. Hillis is a horse, though. Just the type of guy that will test the D; a big, physical downhill runner.
And don’t forget Joshua Cribbs. He’s the most physically imposing return man since Brian Mitchell of the, mainly, Wahington Redskins. The Special Teams were anything like that in regards to the return teams. Hopefully the replacement for Hiram Eugene has made a difference. Having MM34 back helps. His attitude is great; Hue doesn’t quite have him harnessed, but he’s got MM34. MM34 will run through walls for Hue. Literally. Man, there’s smoething about him. Psycopath, anyone? Sure glad he’s on our team. We’ll need him against the Brownies multiple TE (as many as 3) formations. Their wides are mediocre @ best & Colt McCoy is hardly a diffference maker. I just hope we don’t hurt him too bad on Sunday.
Their “D” is formidable, but without Pollard @ the DE & probably lacking Joe Haden (Louis Murphy can tell you about him)@ corner the Brownies will be a bit challenged.
Missing four key performers on the road against a formidable, emotionally charged opponent AND a deafening (for 60 minutes, y’all! I do when I’m there!) sellout crowd is a cocktail named disaster, forceably & continuiously served until the final gun or the unfortunate opponent is rendered comatose (which may be the merciful thing to happen).

The more i think about curry, the more I like the trade. He’s got a ton talent. 4th overall pick, 260 lbs, 4.56 40, best vertical and broad jump in the 2009 combine for lbs.
From the interview, it seems he’s a bit mentally fragile and got buried by the expectations.
Here, he wont have those expectations to live up to. Here, he’ll have a chance to start over, away from the spotlight. I think he makes it count and finally lives up to his potential.

And another thing that gets me excited about curry is that he fills a huge need. All our linebackers are too slow to be effective in coverage. I often yell at mcclain after he gets burnt by a tight end, but in truth, no one else on this team would be able to do any better. Mcclain, groves, wimbley, brown, goethel are all slow as molasses.
Curry is a fast, athletic guy who can run with tight ends and running backs. That is going to really help our defense. if he’s able to seal the edge and prevent those outside runs that have been gutting us, even better. Man, can’t wait to see what this kid has to offer.

Have you talked to your brother Eric Barton about being a Raider?
Curry: Yeah, Eric’s way more excited than I am. I’m excited, and he’s like over-the-mountain excited. He’s like, I mean, when can I come up? Where can I stay? I’ll be there tomorrow. I’ll see you tomorrow. What’s the defense look like? Tell the coaches I say hey? I think he’s revisiting his time here and he had some special time here. I believe he went to the Super Bowl in 2002, so he’s extremely excited. He should be here today and he’s going to show me the ropes and he’s going to tell me all about Raider football, and I’m also excited about that, to actually have the history in my blood and be able to talk to him, he’s going to tell me how it should look and how we should do it.
Gotta love that pedigree. That appeases my anxeity levels. I knew he would be embraced but I didn’t know how tight he was with the LB’s room already. Not that this will be seemless but seems he’s in a tailor made situation. Good vibes for Sunday!

The Curry move will turn out to be a very good deal, the defense is made for him, he is fast, just keep it simple and I will tell you Curry will exceed expectations here. I wanted him in the draft, knew there was no chance, glad he is here. Groves is a converted DE, Curry is a already a. Upgrade.
And all you punks who creamed McClain will regret it, just like DHB who is just starting to show how good he can be.

Repost
According to NFL Network’s Jason LaCanfora, the Raiders have already begun casting about for a new general manager, inquiring with several NFL front offices.
The front office is being restructured following the death of Al Davis. One name high on Oakland’s list is Ravens director of player personnel Eric DeCosta. That would seem to be a long shot considering DeCosta has turned down offers in the recent past. He’s the successor to Ozzie Newsome in Baltimore.

October 14th, 2011 at 6:05 pm
I’m going to say this now and I know it could be wrong because to be honest I haven’t seen Curry play at this level. However what i saw at WF was awesome this guy was IMO the ONLY can’t miss in the 1st rnd his skill level was very high and I just couldn’t see this kid failing if he put the work in. Based on the interview I just heard and how excited Hue is, I think the Seahawks really screwed the pooch on this one.
Mr Davis made a career out of teams being too impatient with high picks. I feel Curry based on what I remember if he can regain that confidence and and regain that playmaking ability I saw in college he will be a star here. What I saw in college was a superstar dominant player who was very physical and quick. Now it is true he was not natural in space but you could see that he could learn that and because of his ability to run and hit that would only be a matter of time. Now if somehow the coaches can get that out of him he will be our best LB hands down. I love RoMac but even he was not Curry when I saw Curry at WF I saw a poor man’s LT. I’m not sure how we will use him but if Hue saw what I saw, for him to get this kid and start him right away is a no-brainer. But like Jason after he got to the NFL I stopped watching him. So I don’t know what we have right now until I see him in action. But if he’s anything close with Wimbley RoMac and Curry we may have the most physical set of LB ever. These guys aren’t small quick guys they are big physical tough guys. Groves was coming on but if Curry is right! just wait until you see this kid in action when he gets comfortable.
He might turn out to be the best player on our defense in time if he gets to his potential that’s how talented this kid is. He could be the guy who actually turns this defense into a bully.
This is whyy I tell guys in here be patient with RoMac players take time to develope and they will show flashes but be inconsistent early and it’ll be frustrating to watch but when they get their NFL feet under them you see the full potential realized. It doesn’t matter that you were drafted in the 1st rnd you still need to develope all players do. WE stole several players on this team just like this. From Jason Campbell to Jarvis Moss and now Curry if it works out. WE don’t want to turn arond and give Romac away doing the same thing other teams do.
What if we had CUT DHB like everyone said we should?? we would look very stupid right now……
October 14th, 2011 at 6:07 pm
We just had an 80 year old GM most of you were OK with.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
No way around it. You can spin it any way you like and give all the scenarios out there but the Raiders will take this one. They are by far a superior team than the Browns. The Raiders are a matchup nightmare for them. I expect Hillis to break a couple and McCoy to hit his usual high percentage short patterns, but this is no contest.

Mizza I disagree RoMac is NOT slow at all a neither is groves IMO he’s just not good in space which has nothing to do with speed. And I watch Wimbley cover and he’s not slow he’s just bulky and stiff. Our LB’s aren’t agile liek mthese little 230lbs. guys but they make uo for it with physicality and you cannot have both. Some defenses are biult for speed ours is biult very very physical. We’re a hardnosed physical defense that wants to beat you up they’re doing evrythiung tthey can to stop the run for good and contrary to popular belief you do that with your LB’s.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:17 pm
You gave Campbell 38 Sulli? Damn, what were you drinking?

Didn’t I school you on that post yesterday?
I’ll try a new angle since you forgot.
We scored 35 and 34 points in week 2 and 3 what you don’t think Jano is good for an extra field goal.
On a side note bully for you for picking the Raiders.

Oh, I suppose if Jano has a big day and we get a pick 6, we might score 38 with Campbell.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:24 pm
Priesttj I read but don’t blog much, I have been a raider fan since 72, but I have to say this team has something that I can’t describe it can eventually be special, I have not felt this way in quite some time, even last year I never felt comfortable with cable, but I think hue has something we were missing. I mention you because, hey I am here in Manhattan and you were one the only ones here supporting DHB, I feel the same way!

Thanks Manhattan…sometimes we just get a bit too impatient because we want everything right now. But this league has never been that way. The game at this level is played at such a highlevel it takes time for kids to adjust many times. So hopefully everything works out like we think. Because I definitely have that feeling this is a special time.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:41 pm
Campbell is much better at home than on the road. He is one of those guys that looks good when everything is going his way. I think he’s going to look good this Sunday.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:42 pm
To pretty much anyone who doesn’t blindly support Campbell, HueKnows. He’s an average QB, at best. He’s not known for lighting up the scoreboard.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:43 pm
If Gradkowski were still here and starting for us, we’d be 4-1…like the Niners.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:44 pm
When Campbell’s on, he’s great. His two best games as a Raider were v. jacksonville and Buffalo, overshadowed by the fact they were losses.
What I like about Campbell, and the best QBs have this, is he can scratch out a W, even if he didn’t have 4 solid quarters.
He’s by no means elite, but I think Campbell can be a solid Qb for the Raiders and win us games as opposed to just managing them.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:45 pm
Priest,
Your entitled to your opinion. But when i see Mcclain, i see someone that simply can’t keep up with these guys. He also doesn’t seem to be able to get sideline to sideline on those outside runs. Also, so far this year, Mcclain has allowed the most catches in the league.
But regardless, whether its because he’s slow, or not good in space, or stiff, the point remains that we dont have a single linebacker who can effectively cover tight ends and running backs. Curry might be able to be that guy. And that keeps mcclain from being in bad situations where he is asked to do something he really isn’t made out to do (cover a fast tight end 20 yards down field).

October 14th, 2011 at 6:46 pm
Sullivan ttry and think back to yesterday…come on I know you can do it…now its going to get a little harder….I told you yesterday that JC played instead of Garbagekowski and put up 59 against Denver last year….still with me?…okay 59 is a bigger # than 38….are you okay?..hope I didn’t cause a brain hemorrhage.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:46 pm
Mizza, biggest beneficiary of Curry being out there is McClain.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:47 pm
Priesttj, right on. If you look at that touchdown very good example of the progress, not many receivers break tackles and take it to the house like that. Another thing very key is look at his body, completely different from a year ago, bigger and stronger I can tell you he will surpass not only crabtree, but nicks also. And keep the faith on Rolando, he will get better and better, also I walk out of my apartment every Sunday with my McClain jersey poudly. Btw my best account business wise is the NFL, go to the offices often and they always have Raider stuff for me, just know you got the east coast covered with the nation!
October 14th, 2011 at 6:49 pm

================================================
True, But then again you don’t see Ray Lewis or Urlacher chasing around TE all day, it’s about the coaches putting them in the right position.
McClain has this assignment because we have all seen how bad Groves & Wimbley are at manning up against TE, so out best bet has been McClain so far
Curry might be that guy, if not i say assign MM34 that role

To anyone who has ever watched a football game its not only the 5 or 6 teams who have an elite QB that can score points. Are you saying Alex Smith is elite now?
I don’t think JC is elite nor do I blindly support him but I do support the Raiders whole heartedly and only sometimes blindly.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:51 pm
Well, Campbell was statistically very good in that Denver game, but he did what he does best and that was manage it.
No turnovers, got the ball to the open guy, played high percentage ball.
That SHOULD be the typical Campbell game.

October 14th, 2011 at 6:52 pm
Well, right now is one of those “sometimes”, Hue. Campbell’s not very good. He’s serviceable and capable, but just not where a 7 year NFL QB should be. Most QBs in this league with his results don’t last 7 years. He’s very lucky for Al Davis.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
McClain and Curry will constantly compliment each other….both will benefit!
Trust me!!
October 14th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
Please, everybody look at the talent on this team, this is just the start of something special. Another thing you all need to realize with Saunders, he is just starting to realize the talent here on offense, it is still work in progress you can see that with the play calling, and sometimes the play breaks down, but when it jells the offense will be a machine. A real football fan will notice these things, trust me, you have just seen some dabbling and tweaking.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:56 pm
Come to think of it I think JC had a poor game but we did put up 39 in week 15. See even with weak QB we can put up points. Like LA says he just needs to manage.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:56 pm

October 14th, 2011 at 6:58 pm
Whereas Garbagekowski is obviously not serviceable or capable.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
We are all lucky for Al Davis.
October 14th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
Hue, you’re insulting Gradkowski personally, revealing a bitter hatred for him. I’m just criticizing Jason’s QB skills. Anyone reading can see the difference. You tell me who’s more likely to be hiding something.
October 14th, 2011 at 7:01 pm
Jason Campbell is especially lucky for Al Davis. He’s in the UFL if not for him.
October 14th, 2011 at 7:01 pm
McClain needs to work on his speed regardless. He needs to hire someone and do some serious training after the season.
October 14th, 2011 at 7:02 pm
Sullivan obviously is a fan of gradkowski because he is obsessed with polish sausage
October 14th, 2011 at 7:02 pm
tjb, I agree. I have been disappointed in Mcclain’s overall play, but I don’t fault him for getting worked in coverage. That isn’t what his skill set allows him to do. And i do know that up until now, he’s been covering these guys because we dont have anyone better.
This is why i’m so high on the curry trade. I see it as a way of making mcclain better by not forcing him in un-winnable situations. Our linebacking core in general is big, strong, but not very athletic. Its good to have one of those guys who can fly around and run with people down the field.
October 14th, 2011 at 7:04 pm
JR77 and Hue Knows, why are you guys so harsh when criticizing Gradkowski, even making it personal? I can criticize Campbell without personally insulting him, because his mediocre at best QB performance stands out enough. Is the reason you guys insult Gradkowski personally because you know when it comes to QB results there’s not a lot there to insult?
October 14th, 2011 at 7:04 pm
Bitter hatred? By saying he sucks? When he was a Raider I thought he sucked but never said anything good or bad. Now he is gone, good riddens. I like my QB to be able to last at least 2 games. Hiding something? Sounds like your completely open with ur man crush on Bruce. As far as anyone being able to read the dif. can you not see the other comments?
October 14th, 2011 at 7:04 pm
Hey, don’t even enable this guy Sullivan wasted energy, just trying to engage you, ignore this guy with the low IQ
Campbell will get better, I am telling you it is just a comfort level.

October 14th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
HueKnows, I won’t accuse you of having a “man crush” on Jason Campbell. I might accuse you of blind loyalty, though. After all, you admitted you’re blindly loyal at times. I think this clearly is one of them. Remember how this all started. I said we’re not likely to put up 38 with Campbell. You insist we are, referring to these obscure examples. I don’t know what Campbell’s career per game average is on points, but I’m pretty sure if it were near 38 you would have already pointed that out, instead of going to his freakish performance in Denver last year.
October 14th, 2011 at 7:13 pm
I don’t hate the late Mr. Davis. I respect the dead. Let sleeping dogs lie. Old mafia saying. Herrera and Trask? Well, considering the debacle Trask was partly responsible for, and Herrera’s embarrassing behavior a few years ago, really, what’s not to hate?
October 14th, 2011 at 7:15 pm

That Halverson crap was the lowest of the low. I never really paid him much mind, but that was just so depraved. That instance of inhumanity….relishing the death of someone and then dancing for joy in front of a group of people who were mourning al davis was one of the most despicable things i’ve seen.
That is where he showed his true colors. He pokes, prods and instigates because in his real life, he’s utterly ignored. And the only attention he knows how to get is to get people to hate him. Its a pathetic life.
October 14th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
Hue Knows,
I said if he averaged everything close to 38 I’m sure you would have pointed it out. All you have is a few random games where he lit it up, including the freakish performance in Denver…which was not a typical Campbell outing and you know it.
October 14th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
Jason Campbell is in his 2nd year in this raiders system, chill out dude..Hes must be doing something right if he can turn the worst offensive line in the league last year, into a top 5 O-line contender.

October 14th, 2011 at 7:25 pm

You’re the one who implied it’s probable that Campbell would put 38 points on the board. If no QB averages that, it’s all the more reason not to believe it. Especially when you add the fact that Campbell isn’t very good.
___________________________________________
For the last time I swear, it id really really boring to chat with someone who picks and chooses. YOU said and I quote “I must have been drunk .38 with Campbell”. Can you show me where I said it was probable that we would?
Think about it, are you saying because no QB’s average 38 no teams will score 38?
Please if you answer, answer both ?s

Tjbwall, Why not?? He can get those bigs running in a no huddle offense like Ryan/Brees, plus the way he can adjust on the line this year is a night a day diffences from last season. The O-line is not jumping offsides ever other play(like last season). Face facts brah Soups got that Big “C” on his jersey for a reason, and the O-line is responding to that. 3-2!

My prediction of 4-12 was when the Raiders had different management. But hey, a prediction’s a prediction.
*****************
LOL! yeah things are really different since al’s gone. what a joke. they are 3-2 w/ al. no games since his death, unless u think last sunday was a sudden regime change. and all people are the same. the davises are doing things according to al’s wishes. same players and coaches. same schemes. hue just said “al taught me well.” ur 4-12 prediction was based on hate and ignorance. u better change aliases, buddy. no one here will forget ur anti-raiderness. ur changing ur attitude about the record b/c it’s obvious ur wrong. for the record, i predicted 10-6.

Mizza I disagree RoMac is NOT slow at all a neither is groves IMO he’s just not good in space which has nothing to do with speed.
============================================

Priest,
Your entitled to your opinion. But when i see Mcclain, i see someone that simply can’t keep up with these guys. He also doesn’t seem to be able to get sideline to sideline on those outside runs.
==========================================
Mizza, I have to agree with you and wonder what games BHP is watching. McClain seems very slow. If he’s not slow of foot – then he’s either been continually injured, suffering from illness, or just not putting out. Seems positively lumbering in pursuit. However, contrary to what BHP states, he seems to operate pretty well in space against the pass because he has good ball awareness once it’s in flight and uses his length extremely effectively.
One other comment about Alex Smith and the whiners. Smith certainly isn’t an elite QB, but he is playing much better and has some talent. His improvement can be attributed to several factors. He’s maturing through experience and the game has slowed down for him. Harbaugh is doing a good job simplifying things for him and not asking him to do too much. But most importantly, he’s got the NFL’s best run blocking offensive line in front of him.
I don’t like the whiners, so it pains me to admit it, but the run blocking of their OL is superb. That wasn’t a fluke when they pushed the Raids around in the preseason. They’ve got some beasts up front and utilize them very well. Saw the Saints DL embarrass this unit on pass protection early in the preseason and I wrote the whiners off. Big mistake. They are probably the best run blocking OL in the NFL.

Pay close attention to who he hits at the around the 4:05 mark
October 14th, 2011 at 8:32 pm
Is it just me, or should Aaron Curry be a middle lineback and RoMac be an outside linebacker?
October 14th, 2011 at 8:38 pm
Looking at that video, Curry looks like a natural at all three LB positions.
October 14th, 2011 at 8:39 pm
RoMac is NOT slow just based on his combine time he’s playing slow this year and I and everyone else have criticised him for it but that kid can run for a guy that big. the same is true Groves and Wimbley. RoMac has made several big plays in the passing game this year. But as far as the run he just seems like he’s jogging all the time. Why I cannot tell you but he can run that is a fact. He timed very well at teh combine as did Wimbley and Curry without a doubt can run. RoMac’s effort has pissed me off often this year tho.
October 14th, 2011 at 8:39 pm
why would we move a fast lb with questionable instincts to mlb and move a slower lb without much coverage skills to the outside?
October 14th, 2011 at 8:40 pm
It’s too early for Curry to play Mike, as he doesn’t know the playbook. Imo the coaches have given him an opportunity on the weakside, at short notice, and see how he goes. If he plays to his potential, in the weeks ahead he could move strong side to have more responsibility covering the TE with Wimbley on the weak. And if he continues to impress, and gets the playbook down, can be the QB of the defense, then he could end up MLB.
October 14th, 2011 at 8:42 pm
Both curry and Romac can play MLB curry can play all 3 Romac is a natural MLB and can play SLB I wouldn’t put him at WLB but both can and have played MLB.
October 14th, 2011 at 8:59 pm
NFL Network’s Mike Lombardi believes that both DE Robert Mathis and WR Reggie Wayne are available for trade at “the right price.”
Mathis and Wayne are both in contract years, and neither would be a reasonable candidate for the franchise tag in 2012 because Peyton Manning is holding captive so much salary cap space. Wayne turns 33 years old next month and is obviously in decline. Mathis is 29. He’d cost a pretty penny to re-sign.
October 14th, 2011 at 9:06 pm

Here’s a take from the Browns and how they view us on Sunday.Game Preview: Browns-Raiders
By Matt Florjancic, ClevelandBrowns.com Staff Writer
Posted Oct 13, 2011
aaCoach Pat Shurmur and the Browns will face many challenges when they play the Oakland Raiders Sunday, in the first of three western trips this season.
The Browns return from their bye week and get an interesting welcome back to the schedule when they travel to Oakland, Calif. for a game against the Raiders.
The Raiders are coming off an emotional week after the death of their long-time owner, Al Davis, last Saturday. They earned a 25-20 win over the Houston Texans on the road and return home for their first game in the O. co Coliseum since Davis’ passing.
“I made them aware and the players are very well aware of what the organization is going through with the passing of Al Davis,” Browns coach Pat Shurmur said. “They’re aware of it, you make them aware of it, take them to the game and when the game starts, you try to get that all out of your system and go play, let it be all about the players. We’ve got to try to not make that something that distracts us.”
In addition to the emotion, the Raiders will bring a lot of skill and talent to Sunday’s game.
Led by quarterback Jason Campbell, Oakland’s offense has averaged 27.2 points-per-game. The Raiders have converted 38.7 percent (24 of 62) of their third downs and average 381.6 yards of total offense.
Campbell has completed 94 of 156 attempts for 1,118 yards and six touchdowns against four interceptions. He has completed passes to 13 different players and averages 11.9 yards-per-completion.
Shurmur spent a decade as an assistant coach with the Philadelphia Eagles and faced off against Campbell, who was then a member of the Washington Redskins.
“What he’s doing very well is, he’s executing within their scheme,” Shurmur said. “A lot was made of his progress coming through college and the NFL, how many offensive coordinators he’s had and how he didn’t get a chance to settle in. This may be one of the only times in his career where he’s basically got the same play-caller two years in a row. That’s probably helping Jason. He can throw the football; he can see. He’s had times in his career when he’s been very efficient. Some of that is all coming together for him.”
While defending Campbell will be one key for the Browns, containing running back Darren McFadden will be another challenge.
McFadden leads the NFL with 519 yards rushing on 91 carries. He averages 5.7 yards-per-carry and has scored three touchdowns through five games.
During the first two years of his career, McFadden rushed for just 856 yards and five touchdowns. In 2010, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound runner gained 1,157 yards and scored seven touchdowns on 223 carries.
“Every team that they play has to deal with that speed, that unique speed that they have at a lot of positions,” Browns defensive coordinator Dick Jauron said. “You really have to have an edge on every defense and where you set the edge is going to be important. The field, as we know, is only limited in width, so there’s only a certain amount of space that he’s got to outrun you to the edge. If you don’t set the edge at the proper depth — you’ve got to make him bubble to get to the outside — you’re going to struggle because he’s very fast and can beat you quickly. Whoever’s responsible for creating an edge to our defense needs to be there and has to do their job. We’ve definitely got our work cut out for us.”
Offensively, the Browns will be going up against a defense that allows 299.6 yards-per-game through the air. However, led by Richard Seymour and Tommy Kelly, the Raiders have registered 14 sacks through five games.
“He’s very disruptive, always has been,” Shurmur said of Seymour. “I tangled with him when he was in New England and we were in Philadelphia. I remember the first play of the Super Bowl, he planted Donovan (McNabb). I’m very well aware of what he is as a player and I think he’s playing at a high level.”
In addition to rushing the passer, the Raiders do a nice job of batting down passes at the line of scrimmage.
“I think they had seven last week, which is a huge number,” Shurmur said. “They do a good job of getting their hands up. They’re so tall and there’s not a lot of jumping going on. It’s just hands going up, so it’s important we throw in lanes. There are times where we’re throwing the ball inside and we’ve got to do a good job of getting their hands down.”
They sure feel that we’re a tough opponent this Sunday and rightly so. Go Raiders.

************************
I can forgive a lot, especially for a second year athlete. This year it appears that RoMac was regressing. What he could do to help us get over his shortcomings is to blow some people up every now & then just to remind us why we picked him. Hopefully the addition of Curry will benefit both of them. I fully believe Curry will thrive here because he will be doing what he does best – search & destroy. I want our LB’s to send a message – “cross this line and get your a$$ kicked big time”. “Wanna get blown-up, c’mon down, we’ll help you out”. Our LB’s should be our enforcers – handing out some pain here & there. We are well on our way of getting where HuJack wants this team to be – fearless & ferocious. Romac, Curry & Wimbley need to form an unbreakable bond to be the best we can be. Our front 7 is going to be be a formidable force once they all get on the same page. They will be unstoppable.
October 15th, 2011 at 12:27 am
McClain is still young with a bunch of talent. We just need to be patient and continue to surround him with good players. The light will come on. You got to let the players have at least 3 years to truly evaluate.
But, with that said, I am surprise how he does get caught up in traffic, more often than not. In Training camp, our coaches says he looked great and blowing up people. Didn’t he put Taiwan Jones out for 2 games? Therefore, he should be quicker than OLinemen, and stronger than RBs, TEs, and WRs. I’ve seen WRs take him out of plays. This shouldn’t happen.
What McClain needs is more attitude at MLB. Get pissed. Get mad. And get a little crazy!!!
October 15th, 2011 at 12:43 am
Anhdazman…post 337:
You’re so right about the attitude, the hate and the passion, and that’s what Rolando lacks big time. Especially at his position, you need a crazy, take no prisoners attitude where you convey to the opponents that you’re out to hurt and destroy.
All the great LB’s, especially middle, had that anger and hatred for their opponents. McClain is out there passing out lolly pops and daisys, he’s too laid back.
October 15th, 2011 at 12:50 am
Romanowski wasn’t a great outside linebacker, but he was feared because he played with hate. All week long he would focus on who his opponents were going to be…and he would hate them…and hate them. Come game time, Romo was out to hurt and destroy and that’s what made him better than he was, and that’s what allowed him to play those extra years. Ya, he basically had a long career for that position, but it was more so for his attitude. I loved when he would gouge an eye-ball or spit in their face or rip out a nut-sack.
Ya, Rolando, you need some attitude and hate.
October 15th, 2011 at 12:59 am
Come to think of it, I doubt if Rolando will ever change, you are what you are and that’s not him. He’s too laid back, too calm and collective.
Like Seymour said before our Texans game to the other players: “Some people want to be good but I want to be great,” etc etc.
Rolando may end up being good because of his size and hard work, but he’ll never be great. Not at a linebacker position. To be great at linebacker, you need an attitude, you need hate and you need the desire and will to inflict pain, big time pain to all opponents. Take no freaking prisoners, just destroy!
October 15th, 2011 at 1:06 am
It’s look like all of you dudes have called it a nite, I’ll do the same. Have a good one tomorrow. Wow, it’s already tomorrow. The other tomorrow, Sunday, will be the day to start that long climb to the top of the mountain. It all starts Sunday and it continues for the following two Sundays at home. If we can’t win three home games against average teams at best, then
we’ll be average to. If we win like we can and should, we’ll be ready to go and “beat down” the dischargers in their house and take over the division. The division takes us to the summit, from the summit we can take the top of the mountain.
Good nite.
