Things, they are a changing with the Raiders
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, October 20th, 2011 at 2:17 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Coach Hue Jackson says things are changing around here these days. Look no further than the Raiders penchant for blitzing the past two games for overwhelming evidence to support that statement.
The Raiders blitzed 30 times their first four games this season, for an average of 7.5 per game. In the past two games, that number almost tripled, to 21.5 blitzes per game.
Why the change? Simple. Managing general partner Al Davis discouraged blitzing during his long reign. He was of the belief that a good defense should be able to generate ample pressure on the quarterback with four defensive linemen. The seven other defenders were there to stop the run and help in pass coverage.
It’s not a coincidence that the spike in blitzes coincided with the death of Davis. It’s not a sign of disrepect to Davis, just a difference in philosophy.
Davis made it known to his defensive coordinators over the years that he didn’t like frequent blitzes. If a defensive coordinator dialed up a blitz, it had better work. Or else. Or that defensive coordinator would hear about it, with no minced words.
Well, now the wraps are off, and Bresnahan is free to blitz as often as he sees fit.
The Raiders blitzed only 53 times in 2007, when Rob Ryan was the defensive coordinator. Fifty three times in 16 games. Watch Ryan’s Dallas Cowbows these days, or put on some tape of the Cleveland Browns the past two years and watch how often they blitzed.
Safety Matt Giordano came on several blitzes against the Cleveland Browns last Sunday. On one play, he drilled quarterback Colt McCoy and sent the ball flying out of bounds.
“Yeah, it’s definitely helping our defense,” Giordano said. “We have good cover guys and a great front line that wreaks havoc already, and when you add a little more blitzing that puts even more pressure on the quarterback. We have to just continue to cover guys and get to the quarterback when we do bring extra pressure.”
Jackson rationalized the change by saying the Raiders defense was too predictable in the past. There was a need to give opposing offenses more to think about each game.
“We play a little zone every now and then but I want to mix it up,” Jackson said. “I don’t want to play the same thing all the time. It’s been pretty vanilla here in the past, and guys have kind of known how to attack us. Not that people beat us that way, but we need to get better and do things differently and give these players more opportunity to have success.”
You do the math on that one, folks.
For more evidence, we bring back coach Jackson.
“It’s something teams have a hard time with,” Jackson said. “It’s just something I truly believe in. You have to get after people. If I’m going to go down, I want to go down bombing everything. That’s just the way I feel about it. I don’t want to be sitting back watching and having people go get us. So we’ve done a good job, Chuck’s done a great job. Our personality here is changing a little bit that way, and deservedly so.”
Safety Mike Mitchell said it makes sense for the Raiders to blitz because he feels as if they have the most speed and talent in the league.
“Last week, you had Colt McCoy come up to us and say, ‘Man, I thought you guys were going to play more man,’ ” Mitchell said. “It’s good when the quarterback says that because we are known for so much man coverage. But when we can throw wrinkles with some of our fire zone and other things, it gives them different looks. They’re not going to know what to expect.”
GAME NOT SOLD OUT … YET
The Raiders petitioned the league for an extension so that they could use an extra day or so to see if they can sell the remaining tickets for Sunday’s game.
The league granted the extension, which runs through Friday. Recent history shows that when the Raiders get an extension, they wind up selling out the game, and it is televised locally.
The Raiders sold out their first three regular-season home games this season. Selling out the Chiefs game would give them four straight for the first time since the 2008 season.
Jackson did his part by pleading with fans to show their support for the Raiders by purchasing tickets and showing up to the Coliseum on Sunday.
STILL NO WORD ON STARTING QUARTERBACK
Jackson is having a ton of fun with all the speculation surrounding whether recently acquired quarterback Carson Palmer will start Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
He said his phone is ringing off the hook with people wanting to know if Palmer or Kyle Boller is his starter this week. He scoffs at numerous reports, from ESPN and others, that say Jackson already has tabbed Palmer as the starter.
“There’s no decision,” Jackson said. “Again, everybody’s wondering who is going to start. I am not going to make that decision, I don’t have to anytime soon. Sometime maybe tomorrow evening I will figure it out. Right now, I am not in a rush. There is no reason to rush.”
That isn’t stopping people from asking, again and again.
“I got more friends right now than I’ve ever had in my life,” Jackson said. “There’s more media here than ever, my phone will not quit buzzing. I got people saying, ‘I’m your friend from way back when,’ you know? Like I’m going to tell somebody something. I aint telling anybody anything. So, you guys can all stop now. I’m just telling you right now, I don’t have to. That’s the good part.”

October 20th, 2011 at 2:25 pm
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the day after Al dies, we start blitzing but I guess I still am.
Not your grandfather’s Raiders anymore.
Loved Al’s philosophies generally, but I always thought they could be applied to the modern game.
Blitzing is essentially to any defense in 2011. And I noticed our front four was smacking the Browns O Line around later on in the game, even without the blitz, so I think we’re in good shape.
Still weird though.

I agree. Gonna be hard to shake the whole “Darth Vader” “Gorilla Rilla” spikes and facepaint thing though. Also the whole ‘all Raiders fans are thugs out on parole, etc.’
Not sure I want to either. But yea, that dude looked like a fruit. Most people just show up in a jersey and get crunked. Always loved all the different kinds of faces you see at Raider games, even in LA.
Best minority fanbase in the League and its not even close.
October 20th, 2011 at 2:29 pm
The lack of blitzing is the main reason our defenses have s%cked over the years.

Thanks Steve. Really liking the personal interactions with organization people.
October 20th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
I’m not an apropos kind of guy, but yes, you’re right.
October 20th, 2011 at 2:33 pm
Finally the simple, predictable defense can move out of the stone age and not be the laughingstock of the league.
Much like if Krappy, after all this time using expensive disposable Pampers and headed toward the poor house, suddenly starts using reusable cloth diapers.
Now he and KrappyWife can afford rent on that 1bd apt. and walk around with their heads held high.
KrappyWife’s bowl cut can proudly flap in the wind.

I was explaining the Raider fans to my GF, and she, in her infinite wisdom, said, “Oh, so it’s like Halloween?”
And I said, “Yes, baby, that’s exactly it.”
October 20th, 2011 at 2:33 pm
Oh I dont hate all the guys dressed up in the black hole. They are OG and they do it right. I just hate all these newbies trying it out and coming off looking like fruits or morons. When someone says Raider fans are thugs, all I here them say is,”I’m a racist”. I love that we have that huge of a minority fan base, thats why the Nation is always rocking!

The defense is offically unleashed.
More blitzing, zone blitzing, disguising coverage, and moving around CBs.
You know we have solid man-to-man principles already in place. Combine that with a damn good defensive line and some defensive creativity… Chucky B probably can’t sleep with all the possiblities.

October 20th, 2011 at 2:50 pm
Raiders fans are dooming themselves in Oakland.
Team is 4-2 and playing a hated division rival, plus could be first game of the Carson Palmer era.
Oakland needed an EXTENSION to sell out the game!!!!!!

Yikes. I’ll have to call my mother and see if she’s okay. So – is it just me or is Hue a total media wh$%e? He certainly seems to be enjoying himself. Some would say a little too much. I think everybody on the team needs to close their mouths (including Tommy Kelly) and concentrate on the game Sunday.
Btw, I am curious. Hue used to work security at the Raider games in L.A. That wasn’t that long ago. When did he start coaching? Or was he moonlighting at the time? Anybody know?

I’m not wishing they move back, they should stay in Oakland. I was heartbroken when they left and never really forgave Al. That was before I moved to San Diego. If they move down here it will be tragic for the fans of Oakland, but do you think I would boycott this team I’ve been following for 40 years?
October 20th, 2011 at 2:56 pm
Maybe they need the extension because not much work was done on Monday.

I have been an Oakland Raider fan since 1974.
This is the best Raider team since we last won a Super Bowl. God rest his soul, but Al Davis did not change with the rest of the NFL and zone blitz the hell out of NFL quarterbacks. We should have at a minimum four Super Bowl titles.
Hugh Jackson is a coaching genesis.
I wish Jason Campbell a speedy recovery.
I love the coach and the team!!!!
Speed, there is no substitute!!!!

October 20th, 2011 at 3:05 pm
Hue is taking Al’s basic philosophical foundation and matching it with the modern era of football. We have fast and big guys that Al wanted. Now we just unleash them. Loved the blitzes the last 2 weeks.

Saw the same thing and even saw it right after Al’s death in the way he was telling everyone Coach Davis taught him how to handle everything. Lost in all this is the tweet that Raider Corporate team was out in force at practice today. Were they out there to show that they are still in charge. I sincerely hope there’s no clash of egos or powerplay going on back there.

Well, wasbanned,I can understand the fans not attending during the Jabustus years……………..I would have been PISSED to have season tickets then, but after last year’s resurgence there’s no reason every game should not be sold out! Even though i live in San Diego, we travel to Oakland to see at least one game a year. Last year it was the Indianapolis game, last game of season. And of course go to the one here, even though it means subjecting myself and son to ridiculous harassment. So, right, if the fans want to keep the team, better start selling out all the games this year.

LOL @ LMN. Kind of looks like a BHP post…
Coach Hue Jackson says things are changing around here these days. Look no further than the Raiders penchant for blitzing the past two games for overwhelming evidence to support that statement.The Raiders blitzed 30 times their first four games this season, for an average of 7.5 per game. In the past two games, that number almost tripled, to 21.5 blitzes per game.Why the change? Simple. Managing general partner Al Davis discouraged blitzing during his long reign. He was of the belief that a good defense should be able to generate ample pressure on the quarterback with four defensive linemen. The seven other defenders were there to stop the run and help in pass coverage.It’s not a coincidence that the spike in blitzes coincided with the death of Davis. It’s not a sign of disrepect to Davis, just a difference in philosophy.Davis made it known to his defensive coordinators over the years that he didn’t like frequent blitzes. If a defensive coordinator dialed up a blitz, it had better work. Or else. Or that defensive coordinator would hear about it, with no minced words.Well, now the wraps are off, and Bresnahan is free to blitz as often as he sees fit.The Raiders blitzed only 53 times in 2007, when Rob Ryan was the defensive coordinator. Fifty three times in 16 games. Watch Ryan’s Dallas Cowbows these days, or put on some tape of the Cleveland Browns the past two years and watch how often they blitzed.Safety Matt Giordano came on several blitzes against the Cleveland Browns last Sunday. On one play, he drilled quarterback Colt McCoy and sent the ball flying out of bounds.“Yeah, it’s definitely helping our defense,” Giordano said. “We have good cover guys and a great front line that wreaks havoc already, and when you add a little more blitzing that puts even more pressure on the quarterback. We have to just continue to cover guys and get to the quarterback when we do bring extra pressure.”Jackson rationalized the change by saying the Raiders defense was too predictable in the past. There was a need to give opposing offenses more to think about each game.“We play a little zone every now and then but I want to mix it up,” Jackson said. “I don’t want to play the same thing all the time. It’s been pretty vanilla here in the past, and guys have kind of known how to attack us. Not that people beat us that way, but we need to get better and do things differently and give these players more opportunity to have success.”You do the math on that one, folks.For more evidence, we bring back coach Jackson.“It’s something teams have a hard time with,” Jackson said. “It’s just something I truly believe in. You have to get after people. If I’m going to go down, I want to go down bombing everything. That’s just the way I feel about it. I don’t want to be sitting back watching and having people go get us. So we’ve done a good job, Chuck’s done a great job. Our personality here is changing a little bit that way, and deservedly so.”Safety Mike Mitchell said it makes sense for the Raiders to blitz because he feels as if they have the most speed and talent in the league.“Last week, you had Colt McCoy come up to us and say, ‘Man, I thought you guys were going to play more man,’ ” Mitchell said. “It’s good when the quarterback says that because we are known for so much man coverage. But when we can throw wrinkles with some of our fire zone and other things, it gives them different looks. They’re not going to know what to expect.”

LOL @ LMN. Kind of looks like a BHP post…
————
Coach Hue Jackson says things are changing around here these days. Look no further than the Raiders penchant for blitzing the past two games for overwhelming evidence to support that statement.The Raiders blitzed 30 times their first four games this season, for an average of 7.5 per game. In the past two games, that number almost tripled, to 21.5 blitzes per game.Why the change? Simple. Managing general partner Al Davis discouraged blitzing during his long reign. He was of the belief that a good defense should be able to generate ample pressure on the quarterback with four defensive linemen. The seven other defenders were there to stop the run and help in pass coverage.It’s not a coincidence that the spike in blitzes coincided with the death of Davis. It’s not a sign of disrepect to Davis, just a difference in philosophy.Davis made it known to his defensive coordinators over the years that he didn’t like frequent blitzes. If a defensive coordinator dialed up a blitz, it had better work. Or else. Or that defensive coordinator would hear about it, with no minced words.Well, now the wraps are off, and Bresnahan is free to blitz as often as he sees fit.The Raiders blitzed only 53 times in 2007, when Rob Ryan was the defensive coordinator. Fifty three times in 16 games. Watch Ryan’s Dallas Cowbows these days, or put on some tape of the Cleveland Browns the past two years and watch how often they blitzed.Safety Matt Giordano came on several blitzes against the Cleveland Browns last Sunday. On one play, he drilled quarterback Colt McCoy and sent the ball flying out of bounds.“Yeah, it’s definitely helping our defense,” Giordano said. “We have good cover guys and a great front line that wreaks havoc already, and when you add a little more blitzing that puts even more pressure on the quarterback. We have to just continue to cover guys and get to the quarterback when we do bring extra pressure.”Jackson rationalized the change by saying the Raiders defense was too predictable in the past.

Over here we try to practice more toward free market but definitely use a hybrid of socialism/free market (mostly socialism) in sports. The only ones purely practicing free market are free agents. Even then they have to put in their time under sports socialism first in their rookie contract.

Saying he would prob do the same thing if it’s 4th and two with the same situation was nothing more than diarrhea of the mouth, and basically dumb.

Everyone knows how much the Oakland Raiders wanted Carson Palmer when they gave potentially two first-round picks for the quarterback.
But this is how badly Palmer wanted out of Cincinnati — he took a nearly $5 million paycut this year to join the Raiders, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Palmer was scheduled to make $7.2 million for the balance of this season, but the Raiders only had about $6 million left in cap space. So, Palmer restructured his contract, which left him with a $2.5 million salary this year. That’s a $4.6 million difference.
Remember back in March, Palmer said he had $80 million in the bank and didn’t need to play football. So, obviously, money wasn’t an issue for him.

As I look around the forums, I am noticing an increasing amount of posts that people suggest we will eventually trade Mike Bush and get draft picks… which would help us compensate for the picks that we lost in the Palmer deal.
First and foremost, didn’t BUSH sign a one year deal? Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t think we are getting anything for him… maybe a compensatory pick down the road if we lose him in free agency… so unless I am wrong about his deal (but I am 99% sure I am not – he got a 1 yr deal right after the lockout ended) you can forget about trading BUSH for picks.
Secondly, why the hell would you want to deal BUSH? He is worth way more than what we’d get in return. A second rounder at best?
Fact is though, BUSH is worth keeping around and the Raiders would be wise to make this happen (if terms are reasonable). Yes, I know he’d probably like to go get a crack at a starting gig elsewhere, but IMO, just because we have Palmer and Taiwan Jones, this doesn’t make BUSH expendable.
Yes, Taiwan has talent but he doesn’t bring to table the change of pace that BUSH does. In addition, Taiwan is still an unproven.
Bush is not only a quality back up, he is starting quality. Today’s NFL really requires a share in the work load for a multitude of reasons.
Bush is much more important to our offense than people realize. Haven’t we all learned our lesson after Campbell went down. You need depth (everywhere – but more specifically) at the skill positions, or one injury can have a major impact.
If McFadden goes down, I wouldn’t trust Taiwan to carry the load…. I like Taiwan, he is talented, but people are so quick to dub the guy starting worthy when they really have not seen him in NFL game action. I am not willing to ride my playoff hopes on the unknown, just like the coaching staff wasn’t willing to do that with Pryor when Campbell went down.
On the other hand, if McFadden goes down.. I am quite confident in BUSH’s abilities to carry the load.
Not only is he a quality starter in the event of a McFadden injury, but Bush is essentially our goal line back. He gets the tough yardage and closes out games for us. He spells McFadden, sharing some of the load making the tougher runs thus keeping McFadden fresh and assisting in maintaining McFadden’s health. McFadden needs BUSH….
I feel BUSH is way more important to our team than people think….

The game WILL sell out! Oakland is the ONLY city in California that has 3, count it 3 Professional sports teams. And has had them over 40 years!
And has a championship in EACH TEAM!
So haters, take your jealous butts somewhere else, or go get your own team, and quit trying to steal ours.
And I say that to San Jose, LA, San Francisco, or whoever else got something to say about it!
=======================
Not sure what you’re saying.
San Jose doesn’t want any of the east bay teams. Nor does SF. LA could care less.
Wat are you talking about, exactly?
Seems the A’s are trying to play anywhere but Oakland.
Raiders need Santa Clara, not the other way around. With Al gone, there is a chance a deal can be struck, but if not, who knows what will happen

Rock n Roll
Blues
Jazz
Hip Hop
R n B
_______________________________________________________
okay I take’em one by one form you list!
yup, Elvis, yeah yeah he is the king (with a sarcastic voice) rock N Roll lived for exactly 7 years! 54-55 to 61-62 then was the age of ROCK and thats English and all rock since have been based on english acts..
Blues, actually just a slow rock n roll, and hugely important foundation to future rock, but still its blues, 3 accords and you are a star!
Jazz, one thing americans could have been proud of, but no! All you great Jazz-plyers had to go to europe to make money and to feel like an equal to a white man. when white americans came to europe they was astonished all here list to that N*gger-music.. btw there is a reason that most of the great Jazz players are buried on european soil and not american, we have several here in Denmark, but even more in France..
HipHop, true an american invention, but even though i love the genre its alway a downmelt, it steals from all other genres to make ONE number, you can never do it the other way around. If you are violinist and here a great Guitar riff, you can use it, and the other way around, but when thing hits HipHop, its the end station!
RnB, is that the good 60s-70s RnB or the terrible 80’s-00’s RnB… if its the former its actually again Blues, fast blues with many instruments.. if its the later, its just downright awful!
but lets focus on the most important genre, Real ROCK. Rock has been the most importan genre since the early 60’s and have been the soundtrack to more peoples lifes than any other music genre. I can mention a few bands, Guns, Metallic, Panthera, STP, Nirvana, AIC, Pixies and others that are some of the best american acts, they all had english bands as Idols, and still do..
all that britney spears or Bieber chewing gum music USA mass-produces, nobody will remember when we are in our 60’s but we will remember the rock bands! we of course will remember stuff from all the genres you mentioned but if you take this world wide, Rock will always prevail!
I just noticed this was fking long post, so i’ll say this now, I’ll try not to re-ply on comments!

October 20th, 2011 at 4:05 pm
And this ain’t a knock to LA…It’s just saying that Oakland gets little respect when we are a historically world class champion sports city!
How many cities in America have a Football, Baseball, and Basketball team and can boast a Championship in each one?
Oakland don’t have to take the back seat to NOBODY!
______________________________________________________
LA has ONE football championship, courtesy of the Raiders who were born and bred in Oakland.
So shut that Raiders move back to LA crap.
I’m sure countless teams ask for extensions on a regular basis, we just probably don’t hear about it because we aren’t in that home market.
You only ask for an extension if it’s close already. As long as it sells out by the deadline tomorrow, stop whining about it already.

Go read San Jose Mercury News columnist Mark Purdy’s constant bashing of Oakland, and attempt to marginalize us and make the claim that San Jose is a better location than Oakland for the A’s. This ain’t stuff I’m making up.
Then watch how San Francisco tries time and time again, even their Mayor, to try and give the appearance that the Warriors are San Francisco’s team when they only played there for 9 years out of 50! The other 41 years they have been hosted by OAKLAND!

About the only thing that will keep Bush here next year is if he wants to be here to get a SB ring. If he thinks that we have a better than naught chance of winning the big one, he might sign a one year deal. In dong that a couple of things come into play:
A.) He gets a ring and is par of a major victory.
B.) He could negotiate a pretty sizable 1 year deal so money wise it might make more $ sense to do that and,
C.) If it turns out that we do go to the SB AND he plays a major role in a SB win, His price goes up big time in FA and he will be even more in demand.
The options to this scenario taking place is we just let him go or we put a franchise tag on him. Those are the real world options.

I was just tired of that euro-techno comment, and it was obviously said by a dude that knows nothing about music history, if he was he would know Jazz musicians was in love with europe, it was a free haven, they were ofr their first time treated like the white man, thats why most of the greatest of them are buried on european soil..
most guitar-based music is based on the late 60s and all the 70s english bands… and yes it is derived from RocknRoll, but it has nearly nothing to with Rock N Roll..
saying rock is like Rock N Roll, is like sayin man is like the Ape…

LMN-
You have lost your Euro mind.
Every single British Rock band was directly influenced by American Rhythm and Blues and Electric Blues.
You can’t have Metal or Hard Rock without the amplification of the electric guitar.
This all comes from Blues, which comes from America.
Europe has some of the greatest Rock bands of all time, but to imply that somehow the origin of their music comes from Europe is downright ridiculous.

Chuck Berry, Tom Petty, Sublime, Journey, Carlos Santana, The Grateful Dead all great American artists can’t say they were hugely influenced in/by Yourope.
Not so sure about your Metallica history either.
And I LOVE British rock, a HUGE WHO, Stones, Zep fan i am. But those guys were ALL ABOUT Blues. Robert Johnson? Did the missippi blues man EVER make it to the other side of the pond? Ever?

exactly thats my point! It seems to me you shouldnt talk about brightness, huh..
my point is RnR is like rock like we are like apes… we are not exactly like apes are we? then do you see my point..
okay let my try another one, saying Rock and RnR is the same is like saying that a modern Ford is like a Ford T (apart that the were both sh1t) they are nothing alike, yup they are both cars, well Rock and RnR is both music, but still nothing alike. would you have the modern Ford if you hadnt had the Ford T ?, absolutely not… would you have had Rock without RnR most likely not! so do you get hte point now, did I dumb it down enough so you could fathom a simple analogy?

I’ll always respect Al Davis, but it’s amazing how the defense is blitzing now and creating problems for opposing offenses. We all (including myself) damn near crucified Chuck B for his defensive playcalling, but now I think we’re realizing that the same strategy was used no matter who the D-coordinator was,,4 man rush,,bump coverage on the Wrs, and prevent in the 4th qtr (losing most of the time). Al’s philosophy wasn’t wrong,,it just wasn’t updated. Sometimes you gota take an old car and put some new parts in it. We’re actually running Al’s defense but HueJax has allowed Chuck B to install some new parts in it to make it more modern with todays game. Al Davis- the King,,,HueJax- the Man

its financial, and it couldnt have happened without the laws Bush made, which gave the push to US house market, which made, which were fueled by the bank loans, which then fooled investors..
it all started with Bush, and it took the world down with it, but mostly it ruined a decade for USA, thats not good, its sad..
but you should care, it means you now personally are indebted 45.000 to china.. USA isnt an island on its own, it is truly dependent on every other nation in the world, which is good, but for USA to make it rich it needs to deal with other countries, thats how you make wealth..

I’m not defending tyrants. But, there are some people in this world who think the American President is a tyrant. is it OK to assassinate him also.

So I haven’t been to school in almost 20 years, grad school that was, so exactly how did Bush’s financial laws, assuming that a president could make laws (he CAN’T in America btw), result in ANY KIND of impact on ANYTHING in EU? American laws (made by congress btw, not the Executive branch) aren’t binding in EU or ANY other country on earth? And cut the cr@p talk, I didn’t get mean, try to hold your end of the decorum bag…
______________________________________________________
Let me find some links, my english is clearly not good enough for you too understand it, that is if you read my posts about it..
Bush and republicans passed some laws on mortgage and housing, these laws made people buy stuff they actually never could pay back in a lifetime, then these banks tried to sell to investor-groups, so the bank could remove their loss.. these american investors then realized they have bought a burning turd, sold it to international investors based in NY, LONDON, FRANKFURT, TOKYO; SINGAPORE, REYKJAVIK… when these international grouping realised they have bought a burning turd, they dressed it up and actually sold it back to some amercan investor groupings…
all this meant nearly all lost big time, really big time doe, but to show how it inflected Greece, their government have invested the Pension in crap from AIG, when they went down they lost in nearly all, and now we the other EU countries 1st bailed out our own banks, and now some of the states…
but it all derived from those laws and those banks, and then it just snowballed, because no-one would take the loss, and then the loss just got bigger and bigger..
had the entire world had one currency I believe something like this couldnt happen, but thats just my personal guess, all above is fact… let me look after some god links, or a great book about it, cant remember what its called, ill come back to ya!

Can’t believe The Raiders chiefs game is the only game that had the 4 AFC Playbook analysts split. There’s only 4 guys but out of all the games that’s the only one that 2 guys picked the other team.
Sharpe and Baldinger picked kc, Millen and Theisman picked The Raiders.

kc chiefs linebackers are slow , saunders should run screens and use k.boss plenty in 1st quarter. jacoby ford isnt a route runner so at this point he needs to run crossing routes underneath & deep posts .
chiefs gonna start running back jackie battle who runs exclusively inside. pinch the dline and blitz inside middle is an effective strategy .
this will also cause m.cassel to have to move outside the pocket at times , weakining his effectiveness

I posted this about a month ago, but it bears repeating; Nick Foles from Arizona is going to make some NFL team very happy someday.
He’s a big, strong, mobile kid that has a big arm but shows really nice touch on the ball when the situation warrants.
Lotta good players in the PAC 12 this year (and he plays in Tucson for a losing team), or I think he would be getting much more attention.

He is a product of the spread system. He dinks and dunks, has a great receiver in Criner, arm strengt not that great. Nick Foles = Poor man’s Andrew Walters

Devilr8er,
Maybe you’ve seen him play more than I have.
The couple of times I’ve watched him he threw the ball with very good velocity, but didn’t do it all the time because he didn’t need to.
Jesse Palmer quoted somebody (can’t remember who) that said that Foles threw one of the best deep balls he’d ever seen.
I have a small sample size, admittedly. He just seemed to me to be able to make all the throws, both in and out of the pocket.

I’m a bit weary of QB’s that are in the spread system there numbers are a bit inflated due to passes to the flat, bubble screens, and going to the hot read. Then again I thought Cam was going to be a bust.

Twinkle,
I remember when they added those schools. Spun me out completely. Made no sense. I still think it’s weird, because the Pac 8 was a truly Pacific conference. I guess one had to be there; kinda like the whole LA Raider thing making sense to some folks, but not to those of us that grew up in Oakland in the 1960’s.
Utah and Colorado now? The Big East? The Mountain West merging with Conference USA (whatever THAT is)?
You’re right, though. It’s all about the money. I guess I understand it, but I don’t particularly like it.

It’s definitely the most INFLUENTIAL country in the world.
_______________________________________________________
I could agree with you on that, but depends on what you base that… if you base it on to day? of all time? if its the last 50 years of the last 100 years…
I can say you this, if its all time, I actually think France and England is way ahead on you guys…
if its based on today, Id say absolutely, if its the last 50years, well still no doubt..
the last 100 years then no, still france and england combined, but then close 2nd..
and all this is my humble opinion, it will of course never be a fact, be cause stuff like that cant be measured..
______________________________________________________
Since America entered WWI, which was in 1917, til now which is 94 years….roughly 100 years….the USA has been the most influential country in the world.
——————————————————-
for all time influence i forgot to mention spain and portugal.
well USA wa actually a relative poor country in the early 1900’s and its was first after WWII you became rich due to loans to european countries but after WWII there is no doubt, and no, no need for you to teach me history, my bachelor is sufficient..

Devilr8er,
I don’t pay a whole lot of attention to stats. They do of course have to be considered, but they’re not even close to the whole story. Sam Bradford and Colt Brennan both put up incredible numbers in college with similar systems, but it was Bradford’s potential and physical gifts that caused their paths to diverge once they got to the NFL.
System, strength of oppponent, strength of one’s own team, coaching…. they all play a role in and can affect statistical performance.
I’m far from a scout, but I like to try and project how a guy will do from college to the pros every once in awhile. For me, it’s not so much what the kid is doing statistically, but looking for clues as to what he might be capable of at the next level.

I just got off the Chiefs web site to see how seriously they’re taking this game Sunday. They’re taking is “mucho” seriously. Their video segment with QB Matt Cassel reveals a serious QB who takes us as a serious opponent. He says the bye week has helped them and they have focused on this game for two weeks, and he feels they can come in and win.
Ya, I feel that we will win, but it’s not going to be a blow out…it’s going to be close and the key might
be that we’re playing at home.
You must rememeber, KC won ten (10) games last year. Any team that wins 10 games in the NFL is a contended and you just can’t write them off. Our last win against them was in overtime…3 point margin. A game like that could have gone either way. Usually the team that wins the coin-toss gets first crack and usually first crack wins the game.
On the positive side, we have done, or the Raiders have done, a lot more to improve our team since last year. KC was off to a slow start this year and they have done what we have to improve. AL (R.I.P.) JUSTED WANTED TO WIN MORE AND HE DID MORE TO IMPROVE US.
Thank you Al and thank you Hue…and to you Carson, kick some Bztt Sunday…we need this win, BIGTIME.

Hue Jackson isn’t limiting his aggressive nature to player acquisition and offensive play-calling. The Raiders coach has authorized defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan to dial up the pressure on defense.
“I don’t want to play the same thing all the time,” Jackson said after practice Thursday. “I think it’s been pretty vanilla here in the past, and I think guys have kind of known how to attack us.”
According to the statistical service Stats, LLC, the Raiders brought pressure 8.5 times per game on runs and passes in the first four games, and 28.5 times per game in the last two against Houston and Cleveland.
Teams averaged 9.6 yards per play against the Oakland blitz through the first four and 3.4 in the last two.

Actually our last win against KC was 31-10 at Arrowhead.
Last yr. was last yr. though and KC is different team w/o Weis.
KC ALWAYS play Raiders tuff in Oakland.
If Raiders don’t beat themselves they can’t beat anybody, anywhere, anytime.

“It’s something teams have a hard time with,” Jackson said. “It’s just something I truly believe in. You have to get after people. If I’m going to go down, I want to go down bombing everything. That’s just the way I feel about it. I don’t want to be sitting back watching and having people go get us. So we’ve done a good job, Chuck’s done a great job. Our personality here is changing a little bit that way, and deservedly so.”

So now that the top dog has admitted the change in philosophy, where’s all the loyalists who said how stupid it was to think we’ve been blitzing more? Mhhhmmm.

I hope not. This is where the Chargers schedule is supposed to get tough. Even thought the Jets looked like a$$ the other night, I really hope they come out to play. The Dolts are paper tigers, they don’t look that good and their 4-1 record is deceiving. I have a hard time rooting for that fat ba$tard, but go Jets.

He makes appearances every now and then, trying to bait people into conspiracy theory talks. Doesn’t work, and all is right with the Nation, so he bounces pretty quick.
October 20th, 2011 at 10:45 pm
I love all the blitzing and mix up their doing on that side , makes it more fun to watch , even when they allowed a TD atleast they made the quarterback stress and sweat
October 20th, 2011 at 10:48 pm
I hate to read about how Al was medaling in the defense like this (which we all knew). I just think it could have been said differently.
But I’m glad they are changing things up and taking the shackles off all these great players we have.
Seems like Mark Davis might be the owner the Raiders have needed the last few years. Just wish the old man had turned it over to him sooner. He may have been hashing over old times with Art Ronney up there with another ring or two.
Tip my hat to the new Davis in charge. Letting his coaches coach and it seems the coaching carousel in Oakland maybe out of service. Thank god.
October 20th, 2011 at 10:48 pm
First it was al Davis is gonna get rid of hue because he talks too much , then it was oh the Raiders are moving toL.A enjoy the last days raiders fans , blah, blah, bkah
October 20th, 2011 at 10:52 pm
Yes if u know the history of Raiders then you know who’s in charge of the defense. It’s a great idea if you have HOF’ers all over your Dline, but with the way the rules are these days it’s really hard to cover guys in the NFL and show the same sh1t over n over
October 20th, 2011 at 10:52 pm
Yeah, they’ve done a good job mixing it up. They’ll have to be a bit more careful with guys like Rivers, but they’ve been pretty smart about it so far.
I think Hue’s doing a great job of utilizing each player’s strengths.
It’s odd that we were so strict about not blitzing before. To be honest, the blitzing seems more Raider like. Put pressure on the offense and dictate to them, instead of always reacting, like Hue was telling the media.
October 20th, 2011 at 10:53 pm

It’s a simple philosophy to be good on D , It starts with Run D first , then you would put the other team in obvious passing downs, then bring all out blitz , play zone , play man , mix blitz , knock the qb hard on his ass , half the battle is getting into your qb’s head and when you win that battle , you have a good chance of winnin the the other battle

That’s what I don’t get. All this talk about him being a statue. He actually doesn’t move too bad. And people act like Campbell was some master scrambler. He wasn’t. He could avoid a rush every now and then but his running left a lot to be desired. Certainly didn’t know how to finish his runs.
And, yes, we can finally look forward to the deep ball. Thank you, Hue! Tired of all the errant throws to wide open receivers down the field. That sch1t will kill you. You only get so many chances to put teams away with the knockout punch and we were missing some great opportunities.

NFL Network controls the late games here. They start at 0230 AM. so they switch to danish commercials when there is a stop, I assume they do the same in other european countries with their particular commercial-set…
during the moment of silence for Al, the switched to commercial, I was having a fit! this was NFLN’s own peeps..
NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

by that I mean, If Hue wants them to fly away, I doubt they can, no matter how good an athlete they are

I’ve always wondered what the view is like from the 200’s. Do you like it? Season tix?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sect. 240 row 15 (under the overhang) You stay in the shade on sunny hot days. You stay dry if it rains. The wind doesn’t reach that spot. A little pricey but great views of the field. Best of all the seagulls can’t crap on your head.

Ok Coach Hue, you got my attention with the bold moves and the fake punts. But now that we have a legit QB can we get better in the redzone?
October 21st, 2011 at 3:18 am
Hopefully no more “throw aways” like the in the patriots game

Of course were gonna hear those saying the price was to steep but we know exactly what we got.. You never know what your gonna get with a draft pick…( Russell)…

Fingers it has been so long since we had a big arm qb, with smarts, I think there is no doubt that
almer can recapture the good years, this is not a broken down qb. He has healed and the time off has helped alot. The Raiders are going in the right direction for sure. Wish I was out there. I have my friends at the NfL offices I am going to get some tickets and get out there soon!

October 21st, 2011 at 6:12 am
Was reading an article this morning on Payton Hillis and his contract dispute with the Browns. Apparently the guy wants DeAngelo Williams-type compensation.
I did a little research and found out that, before his 1100 yard season last year, the guy had rushed for just short of 500 yards in two years with the Broncos.
In college, he was more or less the third option behind DMac and Felix Jones.
Two questions; one, how did this guy even make it onto the radar (much less the cover of Madden), and two, what on earth is he doing thinking he can get Holmgren to pay him that much after proving so little?
October 21st, 2011 at 6:15 am
I agree Dirt Lot! A win is a win no matter how pretty, no matter how ugly!
October 21st, 2011 at 6:18 am
If the Raiders can pound the ball with McFadden and Bush I believe we win Sunday…the Chefs have won 2 in a row but they were 2 beat up teams…last year the Raiders closed out the season thumping KC with defense and our Run game( Bush)… This years Raider defense should do the same…ball control and the Raiders should win….
Raiders 27…. Chefs 17……

If Oakland can not turn the ball over and the defense can hold, we should be able to win. no penalties either.

I got a funny story guys. I live in chiefs country as you guys know and I work with a few guys who are HUGE chiefs fans. On Monday I brought an extra Raiders liscense plate from home and I switched out one of their chiefs tags for the Raiders tag. He drove around all week like that and someone finally asked him about it today. He was actually pretty upset even though it was just a joke. I gave him his tag back but he’s acting like he doesn’t know what happened to mine.
Pretty funny how he drove around all week with a Raiders tag on the front of his truck right before the Chiefs Raiders game and he’s a huge chiefs fan!
October 21st, 2011 at 6:39 am
LOL Jhawk…I guess he would have been more pi**ed if the game was there…you know, all that Raider Week crap that they do….haha!
October 21st, 2011 at 6:41 am
Funny thing is that I grew up in 9er country…what makes that funny is that it was no where near SF! But Hawaii back in the 80’s/90’s was pre-dominant 49er fans and Cowboy fans….funny how there are a lot of Raider fans there now!
October 21st, 2011 at 6:47 am
HWNRDR,IT’S ALL RAIDER COUNTRY BUDDY.THEY JUST DONT REALIZE IT YET..1 NATION RAIDER NATION..
October 21st, 2011 at 6:57 am
Definitely love to mix things up on Defense.
But as Rich Gannon said during the Browns game on the last scoring pass from Cleveland, you have to be careful, he said Bresnahan went overboard on that play because he kept blitzing and you knew Shurmur would adjust to take advantage and he did.
The Raiders increased blitzing has given teams a lot more to worry about, but sometimes you need to play it safe and just fake the blitz, the key is that teams will buy it now and sometimes that’s enough to rattle the QB.
Keep’em coming Chuck B, just be smart to realize it does not work every time.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:00 am
BTW: What happened to Rock Cartwright? Did he pull a hammy or sprained his ankle on that fake punt a couple of weeks ago?
October 21st, 2011 at 7:03 am
And that last TD pass from McCoy…darn you Routt…turn around!

By the way, lost among so many stuff happening lately is the fact that DVD has been starting the last couple of games and rarely gets mentioned, obvioulsy that’s a good thing for a CB, looks like we found a good one, I hope I didn’t just jinx him…crap.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:08 am
Someone mentioned our red-zone offense earlier. Things will be a lot better there with Carson. The guy is smart and decisive and can put the ball right where it needs to be with the right touch. The fade is now a legitimate part of our arsenal. Soup did the best he could with his ability level and did a decent job for us but Palmer can take our offense to a whole new level.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:09 am
Check out this article from a totally out of touch delusional writer…He makes one good point about how we HAD to do what we did, and then sticks his head up his a$$ regarding the rest…
Enjoy the Comedy..

By Pat Fitzmaurice
1. Back in grade school, my friends and I often traded lunch items, usually desserts. The school-lunchroom equivalent of the Raiders’ trade for Carson Palmer earlier this week would be trading a pair of Hostess Twinkies for a granola bar. The granola bar might be good for you, but you still made an absurdly lopsided trade that your friends are going to razz you about.
It’s easy to understand the Raiders’ desperation. After losing Jason Campbell to a serious shoulder injury, they didn’t want to squander a 4-2 start and understandably didn’t want to move forward with Kyle Boller, Terrelle Pryor or some currently unemployed roustabout at quarterback. There were reportedly discussions about a trade for Vince “Dream Team” Young, but the Raiders wisely shied away. Instead, they acquired Palmer from the Bengals in exchange for a first-round draft pick in 2012 and a conditional draft pick in 2013 that could be a first-rounder but will inevitably be a second-rounder when Palmer fails to lead Oakland to the playoffs.
At the height of his career, Palmer was a very good (but not great) quarterback. He is no longer anywhere close to the height of his career. Oakland fans and other Palmer supporters will note that Palmer compiled good numbers for the Bengals last season, throwing for 3,970 yards and 26 TDs, with a respectable completion rate of 61.8 percent. But Palmer also threw 20 interceptions, and according to Football Outsiders, he tied for second in the league in dropped interceptions with nine. Palmer’s arm has never been the same since he partially tore a ligament and tendon in his elbow in 2008. Watching Palmer in 2010, it was almost sad to see how much zip he’d lost on shorter throws, particularly the quick outs that he used to throw so well. The lack of zip on those passes makes it easier for defenders to drive on the ball, and that’s evident by the high interception and near-interception totals.
The Raiders gave up a king’s ransom in draft picks to tread water at quarterback. Palmer is not a significant upgrade over Campbell. Both are functional but limited passers incapable of winning games without a great deal of help from their teammates. For fantasy purposes, Palmer will be a backup-caliber performer, not a guy you’ll want to plug into your lineup every week. The good news for the owners of Darren McFadden, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Jacoby Ford, et al., is that these guys aren’t going to lose any value as a result of the Campbell/Palmer switch. But to expect any of them to gain value based on the addition of Palmer would be naive.

#591: We’ll see what some of those clowns are saying when the Coliseum is rocking come playoff time.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:15 am
According to Cokran who has actually watched Plamer throw the ball recently, Palmer’s arm is just fine.
Anyway, Matt Bowen from The National Football Post made a great point about where Palmer will help the most:
- Crucial game situations.
I talk about it all of the time when I break down games on Sundays. Third downs, the red zone, two-minute, etc.
Forget overall numbers here. Instead, you are looking for a QB that can make a key throw when you have to move the sticks—or score points to win a game.
The Raiders have to see Palmer as an upgrade over what they had with Campbell and Kyle Boller.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:17 am
I clearly recall most of the pundits saying Jim Plunkett’s shoulder was shot and his career was over when we picked him up from San Fran. All he did was win two Super Bowls after that.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:19 am
Oh yeah…And let’s not forget that New Orleans was crazy to trade for Brees with his shoulder surgery.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:21 am
Seeing the long ball completed will be sweet as well.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:22 am
This is when I became certain that the dude was injecting heroin, cocaine, methadone while smoking crack and crystal meth: “Palmer is not a significant upgrade over Campbell”
Are you ufcking kidding me???????

“We play a little zone every now and then but I want to mix it up,” Jackson said. “I don’t want to play the same thing all the time. It’s been pretty vanilla here in the past, and guys have kind of known how to attack us. Not that people beat us that way, but we need to get better and do things differently and give these players more opportunity to have success.”
+++++++
Wow, some things should be left unsaid, no? No point in verbalizing the fact that Al handcuffed the defense. The defense’s play in the past two games has already told that story. Figured Jackson would have more respect for Al than this…..not that I care, but still.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:27 am
I watched a bunch of the Bungles’ games in 2007 when they swept the AFC North and won the division. Palmer looked like Peyton Manning standing back there, directing traffic and carving defenses up. Getting his knee blown out on the first play of the playoff game against the Steelers after completing a long pass to Henry on the sidelines was the only thing that stopped him. Next year the circus started with Henry and others acting up. That was the Bungles’ problem…Not Palmer.

The team is playing great.
The team has a new pro bowl level QB.
The blanket has been lifted off the franchise.
We are playing a division rival.
And we are still having trouble selling out the stadium?
LA, here we come.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:29 am
Marley,
The TD pass from McCoy was a great throw. Routt had good coverage and the TD pass had to be perfect. I sit in the section were you can see the play happen and hand it to them, the play was executed perfectly.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:29 am
LMN, 550
I watched a game on Swedish TV once and they have the CBS broadcast minus the theme music and studio updates, so occasionally you here the announcers clearing their throats or talking sh;t about whoever’s playing.
Good stuff.

#598: Al’s insistence on playing a vanilla man defense was a mistake on his part. Correcting that mistake is to Hue’s credit. And don’t you think Al would rather win than be right?
October 21st, 2011 at 7:31 am
Wow, we now have a QB whom can run a REAL 2 minute O, and run the NO HUDDLE O!

Your music history, regarding the Blues was right on last night when you proved your point to LMN.
I see you later apologized, no need to you were RIGHT!!
I will say as a Blues lover of the music, the early music had originated out of KC area.
LMN, Has a history on this blog, so thanks for sticking up for our music.

How could I neglect to mention the “No-huddle” Racoon? We’ll be able to keep tired defenses from subbing now. And those wasted early time-outs will become a thing of the past once Carson gets the system down.

So if Palmer starts do you think we are going to have some issues with false starts and maybe some ball exchange issues between the C and QB or QB and RBs?
I’ll set the combined number of false starts and fumbled exchanges between the QB and C or RBs at 4.
Do you take the over or under?
October 21st, 2011 at 7:48 am
Okay, this is my last post this AM. I’ll take the under at 3 because Boller will be starting.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:48 am
R & B are directly responsible for the Rolling Stones & the Beatles. . .everything else originated from those two iconic bands of the 60’s.
All things are cicular; the truest form of flattery is imitation. Lines become obscured but most forget the history.
Most my favorite bands originate in the U.K. My favorite band is from Wales. However, to remit cred when credit is due are forgetting the creative process.
When I write I require background music. When I run I’m listening to music. When I drive? If you took away my music. . .there would be deaths. . .
But, bottom line; the debate over music, what is good (subjective), what is not good, what someone thinks of my music. . .leave it for musically oriented blogs. Same for politics & religion. There’s enough enimosity on this blog when just dealing with our beloved Raiders. . .

So what should we expect from Cassell this weekend?
I always thought that you could hit him a few times, and he falls way off his game. Way more than your “typical” QB.
Also, however, if you don’t rough him up, he can get very streaky, more so than your “typical” QB.
So point being, rough him up, and we should be fine. Let him get in a rhytyhm and we could be in trouble.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:57 am
Just finished watch the bengals chargers game from 2010.
This game CPALMER knocked the chargers out of the playoffs.
CPALMER was 16-21 4 TD’s…

LA To TheBay, All good, just finished watching some film on CPALMER…
How you doing mayne?
October 21st, 2011 at 7:58 am
I’m so excited to watch Palmer Sunday that I’m going to bust out my HOSTETLER jersey. Been saving it for years in the hopes we would get a real QB again.
October 21st, 2011 at 7:59 am
In that game CPALMER started 10 of 10.
11th pass was a well thrown ball dropped by the WR other wise he is 11 of 11.
October 21st, 2011 at 8:01 am
I heard the pre-sale for the Palmer jerseys went through the roof…funny how the guy at Raider Image told me that they weren’t making anymore jerseys because next year Nike is taking over…hmmm
October 21st, 2011 at 8:01 am
R & B is directly responsible for most of the content that comprised the rolling Stones & the Beatles. From that point on most music utilized these two iconic bands an incentive. . .
All things from fashion to music are cicular. The truest form of flattery is imitation. Lines becomed obscured; history is only written by the winners, or those who receive credit. Thus even history becomes as slanted as journalism, utilizing sensationalism to reinforce their (subjective) points. . .
But music remains a constant in most all our lives. O fourse there is call radio of a varied & assorted list of topics, but most people, I venture to say, are listening to music. Or multitasking. . .
When I write I am listening to music. . .when running I require music. . .When driving? To limit fatalities, I need my music. . .
Bottom line; the debate over what is good, what eras are superior to others, what music is garbage, are all subjective. And to forger the TRUE origins (in the cotton fields, @ church, these early hymnal gospel music of the slave era had more to do with the foundation of the blues, which is the breadbasket of American Music. But that’s history. Sorry to bother y’all).
So, let’s keep our opinions about music for musically oriented blogs. Same for politics & religion. There’s enough animosity on this blog just dealing with Our Beloved Raiders. . .
Second draft invariably superior to first draft. . .couldn’t let the former gibberish represent. . .

October 21st, 2011 at 8:01 am

He was throwing the ball before the WR’s were breaking…

::::::::::
YES!!! No more wasted time outs because the QB couldn’t get the O lined up! More sustained drives, higher Time Of Possession…. More points.
Oh no this means less 50+ yard FG’s for SeaBass.
But he will get more kick offs now.
But less punts for ShaneO.
Probably lower average for him due to a shorter field.

Palmer’s throws get there quicker. Watching him throw the ball, he headfakes a lot. Soup would look down his receiver.
October 21st, 2011 at 8:03 am
Palmer is an All Pro QB.
I’ll take the under, Dakota.

Thec07…typical Friday morning here in San Ramon! What’s going on?
October 21st, 2011 at 8:04 am
CPALMER in that game threw a pass 65 yards just missing a WR by a few inches…
So much for his arm strength issues…
October 21st, 2011 at 8:04 am
the defense needs to play thisone straight up watch for mccluster out of the backfield…tone down the blitzes….

CPALMER can throw the dart , and the touch pass…
His bombs are good throws not to much air….just right…
October 21st, 2011 at 8:08 am
I do think we will see some drops the first couple of weeks, due to Palmer’s ball getting on you pretty quickly.
October 21st, 2011 at 8:08 am
I am going to watch the bmore game now…
October 21st, 2011 at 8:08 am
I predict such a huge blowout that you will see a lot of Boller handing the ball off to Jones and Bush in the 4th Quarter while Palmer, McFadden and DHB are laughing on the side lines together with there AL baseball caps.
October 21st, 2011 at 8:09 am
The second throw on this highlight, Carson fades back to his 35 and throws it to his receiver who makes the catch on the 10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEzdoVGFgIY
October 21st, 2011 at 8:11 am
McCluster is one of the most overrated guys in the league.
He housed that one punt in his first game on MNF, and since than, has missed half his games, been removed from punt returns, has one TD from scrimmage and a ton of fumbles.
I beg they give the ball to him.
October 21st, 2011 at 8:12 am
One thing I see about CPALMER is that if you are open he will hit you…
We leave a lot of points on the table however, we will get some of those with CPALMER as he wont miss…
His accuracy is going to pay huge dividends…
October 21st, 2011 at 8:13 am
I agree Thec07!
October 21st, 2011 at 8:15 am
Need to watch for Arenas on the punt returns.
He is behind only Hester and Eric Decker (who returned one on us) in the NFL for average per return.
As a comparision, McCluster is 35th in the league in kickoff return average.
October 21st, 2011 at 8:15 am
Going to watch the bengal raven game…

Arenas housed a punt on us last year in Oakland, but was called back due to penalty.
October 21st, 2011 at 8:16 am
A funny story in the event some of you didn’t hear about it.
Michael Crabtree: San Francisco 49ers, wide receiver, Michael Crabtree says he missed a bye-week flight (10/19/11) out of the bay area because he was pulled over by a police officer who happened to be an “Oakland Raiders FAN!”
LOL….great, hope the idiot got a ticket as well.
October 21st, 2011 at 8:18 am
Arenas is dangerous. Watch him on returns and keep Bowe from getting too much, we’ll be ok.
I agree with Vegas about Cassel, when he gets rattled, he starts making careless decisions. Gets that far off look that JC gets from time to time.

Has there always been barbed + razor wire around the Raiders practice field? Just noticed that for the first time with this Carson Palmer at practice coverage. Can’t say I’ve seen that on any other NFL team’s field either.
Looks pretty badass.
October 21st, 2011 at 8:24 am
LA,
He gets the stare going, and I have seen him check out a few times as well.
Hit him a few times, and he will be happy to immediately dump off on 3rd and 9.

Raiders have only 3 passing plays of 40 yards or more. That changes beginning now.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Hue sends Cannon Palmer deep on his first throw. KC is expecting us to ease Palmer in to things but HUE is a gambler a risk taker, lives on the edge.

I know it changed this year, but not sure of it.

October 21st, 2011 at 8:49 am
I don’t understand this “gambler” logic.
Our depth chart consisted of:
1) Jason Campbell
2) Kyle Boller
3) Terrelle Pryor
This is a disaster on its own.
So, top QB gets hurt, Hue makes a move to bring in a QB better than all of them, something we needed anyway.
I just don’t see where the gamble part comes in. It seems the real gamble would be to NOT make a move for Palmer and stick with that putrid depth chart, which would have spelled 7-9.
As I said yesterday, I think a lot of this “gambler” talk is coming from people who don’t like the move for Palmer. They’re framing the acquisition as some sort of haphazard risk. It was actually the only common sense move to make, when you consider, again, the hand we were dealt.
October 21st, 2011 at 8:51 am
The “gamble” was the two picks we gave up.
Acquiring Palmer is not a gamble.
October 21st, 2011 at 8:52 am
(tsk tsk, MR haters…this is where you repeatedly say that Jackson is a gambler, just to make me mad. There, I spotted you one)
October 21st, 2011 at 8:54 am
JFB, I don’t believe the two picks were a gamble, either. Trades can be made on draft day to compensate for lost picks that we were entitled to. There are always gems in the late rounds, if you have a good GM. And, all due respect to Al Davis, who was great at one time, I think we’re much better off in that department now. We’ll do fine on draft day, even with the lost picks.

I remember in the 60’s and 70’s, first play from scrimmage, left side, deep throw, touch down, and completely taking the opponent out of the game. This threat has been re-instituted to our game, and it will be used in the future. Let Carson get up to Raider speed, this team is going somewhere.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:16 am
And #3 as a QB….
hmmmmmm……
October 21st, 2011 at 9:16 am
Many of us are thinking that we’ll develope our running game first, so as to set up the play action pass, and rightly so. However, Hue may do the opposite, as we know he lives to live on the edge and do the unexpected.
Therefore, I expect the opposite. Don’t be surprised that the first play is a play action, fake handoff to McFadden, and the a pass out to Ford or DHB…even Boss
October 21st, 2011 at 9:19 am
JFB, I don’t believe the two picks were a gamble, either.
*********************
Well good for you then.
Sounds like you are warming up to Amy rather quickly!!
Making an upgrade to the hardest position in the NFL, without any type of gamble?
Sounds like executive of the year type stuff.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:20 am
Everybody keeps talking about Palmer, but lost in the shuffle is the fact that Seabass is “dinged up”. If he cant go (or is limited) that could seriously change our game plan on Sunday. AFC West games are almost always close. We desperately need SeaBass’s points.
Any new information on Seabass?

MR, this is by far your best post on this blog ever.
And yeah, it’ll probably be a DMC run.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:26 am
I would line up Moore and Ford on 1 side and DHB on the other. Have DHB cross the middle to draw in a safety and FORD & MOORE both go deep. Cannon can pick the open man and there’s your 6 points.
The end.

Carson Palmer took a paycut of $4.7 million to join the Raiders, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Palmer was scheduled to make $7 million from Week 7 to the end of the season, but the Raiders only had $6 million in cap space. After restructuring his deal, Palmer will make $2.5 million this season. It’s never been about the money with him, so it’s no surprise that he took a cut to get out of Cincinnati. Source: ESPN.com
October 21st, 2011 at 9:35 am
Yup, Routt on an island. Decent coverage too, just a very well placed ball by Colt. We had been dropping 7 and 8 on that drive up until the goal lone, really. Like Gannon said, Bresh got greedy.

His money was re-distributed to his remaining years, so it isn’t like the guy is losing out much. Of course accountants would scream about the present vs future value of money, so he is losing out a little bit, but not much.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:38 am
If the guy takes us deep, pay him his $$$$$$
If he doesn’t, restructure his contract again.

Hope Canuck shows up today. Yesterday he told me to start fact checking. I went ahead and took his advice, and it turns out his point was wrong, per the fact checking I’d done per his own advice. He hasn’t been here since.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:40 am

October 21st, 2011 at 9:40 am

October 21st, 2011 at 9:42 am
I see CP throwing a lot to big ol’ Kevin Boss. He has not been used enough up to now imho. They can’t cover all our WR/TE.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:43 am
LA to the Bay,
Are you talking about Canuck?
I’d criticized drafting Gruden for draft picks.
He said we wouldn’t have had Phillip Buchanan if it wasn’t for one of those picks, and I should “learn to fact check”. So I did just that. Fact checked. I fact checked HIM. Turns out, Langston Walker and Tyler Brayton were the two guys we drafted with the Gruden picks. I came back to politely reveal that to him, and he jetted. He’s been gone since.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:44 am
Yeah Tooz, I don’t know why but the CP3 to Boss combo seems like a perfect fit to me.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:45 am
Excuse me, “trading” Gruden, not drafting.

Those of you who go the games at home, have you ever seen anyone wearing a Soup jersey?
I’m sure there has to be a faction out there, but I look for it on TV, and I have never seen one fan wearing one.
Palmer will outsell Campbell’s jersey sales, by the end of the month.

But who is now calling the shots for the Raiders? Who is making the trades, including last week’s move for LB Aaron Curry and Tuesday’s blockbuster deal for QB Carson Palmer?
“We have a team of people that is spearheaded by Mark Davis, (chief executive) Amy Trask, myself,” Jackson said, “We come together and we make what we think are the best decisions.”

JFB, I have seen a few walking around, but rare! If they’re wearing QB jerseys…its usually Stabler
October 21st, 2011 at 9:48 am
Yes, Al blew those Gruden draft picks big time. And the move cost us a SB victory, so lose lose lose lose lose…..

I see him becoming another Dave Casper (wishful thinking). Plus i like his attitude.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:50 am
Well, I guess we need to score TD’s this week instead of FG’s because Jano is out. Just when we were rolling too. We need this bye week bad. Reece and Johnson can get healhy, we will be close to 100%.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:51 am
DHB has improved with Campbell this year, but he is still catching the ball with his body. Will the fact that Palmer throws the ball with more velocity make DHB have more trouble with his catching? Just something to consider.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:52 am
Sucks that Seabass is injured.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,jeez, when it rains it pours. If we get another kicker don’t we have to move someone else down to the practice squad or cut them?
October 21st, 2011 at 9:53 am
Yeah we would have to cut. Its time to move Jason to IR.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:53 am
I am more worried about Jacoby transitioning to Palmer than any other WR’s.
He has allowed balls to eat him up a few times in the past year and a half, and it won’t get any easier with Palmer flinging 4 seamers at him.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:54 am
Thug lyfe!!!!
October 21st, 2011 at 9:54 am
That’s a good point Dakota. We notice that every game. Let’s hope he is working on catching with his HANDS! We know that Moore and Boss can catch with their hands…….if Carson does play this week (and media outlets are saying he is)it will be quite telling who catches some good balls.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:56 am
JustFire – i had those same thoughts. I think Jacoby looks a little rusty still. First catch of the season was almost fumbled.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:57 am
Carson will definately play this weekend, just how much and what role.
Is he going to come in for a series or two in the first half and we go from there? Is he going to start and play the whole game? Is he going to just mop-up if need be? Or only come in if Boller fails?
That’s the question, but Palmer will chuck a couple passes this weekend, you can book that.
October 21st, 2011 at 9:59 am
Don’t worry guys , we will be alright without any kicker in this game
October 21st, 2011 at 10:00 am
i would love to know the extent of cp play. snatched him up for my fantasy football team. I’m screwed because i had Campbell and Rex Grossman. Now i have palmer and John Head? Is that his name?

Palmer looks like Harbaugh. After the game Sunday he should run up to Cassell like he’s going to shake his hand, then just slap him in the face and yell, “YEEEEAH. GET SOME OF THAT SCHIT!!!”
October 21st, 2011 at 10:03 am

*******************
Crazy-talk. You need a kicker.
Just line up Shane, and watch our coverage unit pull-up with some injuries since they are used to covering touchbacks on the regular.
Chiefs will not be a push-over, and we haven’t pushed anyone over really yet anyways.
We beat the 1-4 Donkeys by 3, the 3-3 Jets by 10, the 3-3 Texans by about 5 yards, and the 2-3 Browns by 7.
Chiefs may give us a tougher matchup than any of those teams.
October 21st, 2011 at 10:04 am
Vegas,
Don’t see Palmer playing spot duty at all.
He either plays the whole game as a starter, or steps in if Kyle gets the hook (don’t see that).
Maybe if we’re up big in the 4th quarter, he plays a series.
October 21st, 2011 at 10:05 am

Chiefs are garbage. We are putting up at least 40. They do not have the personnel to stop our offense, especially with Berry out. They beat IND and MINN, two of the worst teams in the league. They got DESTROYED by the Lions 48-3. This team is not as good as the KC team we thumped last year. They are actually closer to the Denver team that we played last year. KC is 26th in Total Defense, and are giving up 5.2 per rush.
42-10.

JFB, I don’t believe the two picks were a gamble, either. Trades can be made on draft day to compensate for lost picks that we were entitled to. There are always gems in the late rounds, if you have a good GM. And, all due respect to Al Davis, who was great at one time, I think we’re much better off in that department now. We’ll do fine on draft day, even with the lost picks.
::::::::::
Yep, Al Davis and Co. Was the Master of mid/late round gems.
And BTW the first play of every game should be a hard run straight up the gut if the D! It let’s your O-Line establis an attitude and give the D a smack in the Chops. It’s called a tone setter.

In this game I’m really interested to see if DVD can build upon the good week 6 he had vs clev.

I’ll bet you the first play called by the dirty little river boat gambling scoundrel that just put up Al’s whole dynasty for one QB will be a run.

The NFL needs to go to a 60 man roster. That would give us 7 more WR’s, lol.
October 21st, 2011 at 10:45 am
No Sea Bass = more 4th down attempts = more TD’s

Swayze Waters…I remember that dude…lol…
He was pretty good, but with SeaBass out, we have to do more than cross the 50! Good to hear Chekwa is back…is Lito Sheppard practicing?

I may have just peed in my pants a little:
“I give him a play, he calls it, he executes it flawlessly.” -Hue Jackson on Palmer
• After two days of practice, Palmer is looking good, and gaining knowledge of his receivers, according to Jackson. “I see the same guy I saw in Cincinnati [in 2004-06, when he was receivers coach],” Jackson said. “He’s got a very strong arm. He hasn’t fumbled a snap. He’s been laughing and talking with his receivers, all his new teammates. Here’s what I noticed: He’s been here 16 hours, and [in Wednesday's practice], I give him a play, he calls it, he executes it flawlessly.”
From Sports Illustrated Peter King… but it’s a good read.
Reunion in Oakland: All eyes on Jackson’s gamble with Palmer
The news, and my opinion, about Carson Palmer in the wake of my conversation with going-for-broke Oakland coach Hue Jackson Thursday night:
• No comment about whether Palmer will start Sunday against Kansas City. I’d be surprised if Jackson — who recruited Palmer to USC, who coached Palmer at USC, who was an assistant at Cincinnati for three years during Palmer’s prime — somehow, some way, finds a reason to start Kyle Boller instead of Palmer on Sunday. “I have great respect for our backup quarterbacks,” Jackson told me. “But they’re backups.” Doesn’t sound like Boller’s taking the snaps Sunday.
• I asked Jackson about what I’d heard, that the deal for Palmer hit a wall late Monday night and was in danger of not happening. Jackson steadfastly refused to discuss details of his negotiations with Bengals owner Mike Brown — and Brown chose Thursday not to be interviewed for this story. But when I asked Jackson about the state of the negotiations when he went to bed Monday night, he said: “I was probably 30-70 it wasn’t going to happen.”
• First phone call from Jackson to Brown Tuesday morning: “I would say about 3:30 my time [6:30 a.m. in Cincinnati],” Jackson said. “I knew time was very short.”
• The hangup that got solved? No one’s saying. But my feeling is it came down to the 2013 pick. There was never a question the Raiders’ 2012 first-round pick would be part of the compensation. But there was a question about the 2013 part of the deal — would it be a 2013 second-round pick that went to a one if the Raiders made the playoffs in either of the next two years? Or would it be a second- that went to a first-rounder if the Raiders advanced to the AFC Championship Game in either of the next two years? It ended up being the latter.
• Speaking of getting no sleep, that was part of the human side of this thing. When Jackson found out Sunday night that the injury to starter Jason Campbell was a broken collarbone that would require surgery, he began putting the bug in Raider execs’ ears about Palmer. Within hours, Campbell had gone from being the quarterback on a 4-2 playoff contender to having to seek a new job in a new city, most likely, after the season because his contract expires after the year.
“The human part of this business is that there’s sometimes a brutal reality to it,” Jackson said. “I feel awful for Jason. We all do. I wouldn’t wish what happened to him on anyone. He’s done everything we’ve asked of him, and been a very good player for us. But I chose to do this job. Situations like this are part of the seat I sit in. Jason’s in surgery, and we’ve got to figure out the best thing for this football team.”
• After two days of practice, Palmer is looking good, and gaining knowledge of his receivers, according to Jackson. “I see the same guy I saw in Cincinnati [in 2004-06, when he was receivers coach],” Jackson said. “He’s got a very strong arm. He hasn’t fumbled a snap. He’s been laughing and talking with his receivers, all his new teammates. Here’s what I noticed: He’s been here 16 hours, and [in Wednesday's practice], I give him a play, he calls it, he executes it flawlessly.”
The honeymoon is on.
Jackson has heard the criticism of the Raiders’ trade for Palmer. They paid waaaaaay too much. He’s processed it. He’s considered it. He’s dismissed it.
“It comes down to winning,” Jackson said. “And you can’t put a pricetag on that. I understood the magnitude of the picks, the fact that high picks in 2012 and 2013 were involved. But tomorrow’s not promised to us. We’ve still got a fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick next year in the draft, and I’m pretty sure we’ll get a compensatory pick or two for free agents we lost. We’ll be able to get players in different ways. There are more creative ways to get players too.”
True, but the Raiders’ first pick next year won’t be until about number 97 overall, if they get a third-round compensatory pick for losing Nnamdi Asomugha to the Eagles in free agency. This Palmer deal is an all-in deal, which is what Jackson’s been preaching to his players.
“I tell everyone on this team that I’m going to do everything we can to win right now. So here’s a crisis. And the guys are looking around, looking at me, thinking, ‘Well, coach, what are you going to do?’ If what I say has validity, I have to put my money where my mouth is. And if there’s anyway we can acquire an outstanding quarterback, we have to do that.”
I had a veteran general manager, a conservative one, tell me this week this was a deal he never would have done — but he understood exactly why the Raiders did it. The GM said the Raiders have a good team, with some important veterans who might not have much time left. (Richard Seymour, for instance.) They’ve been losers for eight years. They’re good now, and might have a chance to be very good. But with Boller? The Raiders couldn’t see it. I agree on that.
And the deal won’t be stupid if Palmer leads them to a title, or to the verge of one. It’s like what Ernie Accorsi once said about sending a huge package to San Diego for Eli Manning. It’ll be worth it if they won a Super Bowl with Manning. If he didn’t, then the writers and the public could have a field day. Manning won it, and no one’s questioning the deal now. It’ll be the same with Palmer. And if Jackson’s right, no one will be questioning his personnel acumen. Right now it’s a big if, but Palmer has this thing in his hands. He wanted to play for a contender, and now he’s got it.

Palmer’s your starter, LOL
October 21st, 2011 at 10:49 am
Had no idea … Kansas City fullback Le’Ron McClain and Oakland middle linebacker Rolando McClain are cousins. Good matchup Sunday

I know I mentioned earlier Hue grew up in South Central, gotta be slicker than letting chiefs think there’s a possibility Bomber starts. Musta been tired…
October 21st, 2011 at 10:53 am
Funny is that Carson wanted to play for a contender…but remember that news about Moss would consider coming back to a contender with a good QB in place? Just say no, Hue!

Boller opens practice with first team, third straight day _ even more significant _ Seabass moving gingerly with left hamstring strain.
October 21st, 2011 at 11:04 am
How can Seabass pull a hami, after 6 games. Time to stop paying tribute to AD with the McDonalds Cheeseburgers and KFC Cole Slaw.

Two people familiar with situation believe it is unlikely Carson Palmer will start Sunday, though no final decision has been made.
October 21st, 2011 at 11:22 am
The trade: Still think we paid too much, but desperate times call for desperate measures. No doubt Palmer will prove to be an upgrade and JC wasn’t going to be the answer moving forward – but two number one’s for a 32 year old whose best days might be behind him ? Best case scenario; Palmer gives the Raids 5 years of stellar QB play and a shot at a SB run. Worst case scenario; we wind up with Johnny Carson and the draft cupboard is depleted. Only time will tell – and although I agree something HAD to be done to address the QB situation, and I’m glad something WAS done, I’m dubious about this move long term.
The coach: As previously stated – I’m very happy with Hue thus far. But some doubts have crept in as a game day manager. Can’t keep making bonehead decisions like not taking the game clinching FG against Cleveland. Want to go for the dagger strike late, instead of running clock ? Fine, I have no problem with extreme aggresiveness – but go with a play that has a good chance of success. A deep Campbell pass doesn’t fit the bill. Need to see better management of timeouts. Continually burning a timeout or two the first drive of every game has to stop. These issues must be addressed and addressed quickly. Have great hopes for Hue to blossom into a premier NFL head coach, not just an outstanding offensive coordinator and play caller. Have to make the right decisions when it’s crunch time.
The upcoming game: Easy to lose focus and be overconfident for this one. Up to Hue and the staff to have the team prepared and focused on beating KC, rather than dwelling on the events of the past week. Can not be complacent, there are no sure things in the NFL. Raider defense showed they can annihilate the Chefs in last season’s finale. Now, Chefs are without their best running back and coming to OUR house. There can be no excuses for coming away with anything but a win. There is the danger of falling back to 4-3 instead of being 5-2. Huge difference. NO LETDOWN !
October 21st, 2011 at 11:36 am
Raiderman99 – Good post. My thoughts exactly. And the penalties have to stop as well, although that is probably not Hue’s fault. They’ve put us in a bad position over and over again. We’ve GOT 2 focus on this game………………………….

Sorry guys but Raiders to LA is a bigger option and possibility now with AL gone than ever!!!
New state of the art stadium, Raiders had a steady 4o to 45 thousand season ticket holders even in the horrid LA coliseum days… thats almost a sell out in the current configuration in Oakland!
Now, in the new digs with LA fans STARVED for football and the poor attempt of the media to push the Chokers on us with miserable success the only and biggest candidate to be in LA is the RAIDERS… sorry but it just isL the way of the world… GREED is the key and without Al who was hated by the media and skewered at every chance…
the case for oakland being here is just too strong and makes too much sense in terms of money!!!
For the record I hope they stay in Oakland!!! BIG TIME!!!!! but i don’t think they will, sadly but thats how i see it!!!
