FB Reece returns to practice after missing four games
By Steve Corkran
Tuesday, October 25th, 2011 at 12:06 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Fullback Marcel Reece’s injured ankle finally healed enough so that he could return to practice for the first time in a month. He missed the past four games.
Reece suffered his injury against the New York Jets. Coach Hue Jackson hasn’t provided many details about the nature or extent of the injury, and Reece hasn’t been in the locker room during media access the past month.
However, it appears as if Reece is on track to return to action Nov. 6, against the Denver Broncos, the game after the Raiders bye week.
Cornerback Chimdi Chekwa also is at practice today and in line to play Nov. 6 after missing the past three games with a hamstring injury.
The outlook isn’t as bright for running back Darren McFadden (foot), tight end Kevin Boss (concussion), cornerback Chris Johnson (hamstring), safety Matt Giordano (neck) and linebacker Rolando McClain (foot/leg).
All five aren’t practicing, and their status for the Broncos game is uncertain. Jackson isn’t required to provide an update on the status of injured players until next Wednesday, and don’t expect one, either.
Kicker Sebastian Janikowski (hamstring) is on the practice field. He isn’t doing much once again. However, Jackson apparently is convinced that Janikowski’s hamstring injury isn’t a concern moving forward because the Raiders waived kicker Dave Rayner on Tuesday morning.
The Raiders signed Rayner on Saturday so that he could kick in place of Janikowski against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Defensive back Ron Parker was waived Saturday to make room onthe 53-man roster for Rayner. On Tuesday, the Seattle Seahawks signed Parker.
Defensive tackles Richard Seymour and John Henderson, and safety Michael Huff also aren’t practicing. No word on what ails them.
Jackson speaks with the media in about an hour. Updates are forthcoming.
Quarterback Carson Palmer spent a fair amount of time working on sideline throws to his wide receivers in an attempt to get down their timing.
Palmer’s throws more times than not arrived on target and with plenty of zip. Palmer and the receivers said they intend to get in plenty of extra work during the four off days later this week so that they are in synch for the Broncos game.

You see excuses never sound good coming from a pro qb. especially qbs that flopped, quit, underachieved, or played poorly. This goes for former and current raider qbs as well.
Just keep quiet say you messed it up and get better.

I think maybe there should be options. Like a menu to choose from to abuse that fat fck.
I tell you one thing that wouldn’t be on there: punching him in the stomach. Your arm would sink in up to the elbow. Might never get it back.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Rookie offensive lineman Marcus Cannon’s return to the practice field today is an uplifting story. A projected early-round pick in April’s draft, he slipped to the fifth round after he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma (link to Rick Reilly’s ESPN.com story here).
Before getting into any analysis of where Cannon might fit on the roster, his overall health is where to start. Cannon’s recovery has been on course. That’s most important.
As for football Xs and Os, the 6-foot-5, 358-pound blocker from Texas Christian bolsters the team’s personnel at multiple positions.
“He’s had experience at both [tackle spots],” coach Bill Belichick said last week, adding that he sees no reason Cannon couldn’t move inside to guard. “He has position versatility, he’s a smart guy, he has good size, runs well. [He has] a lot of things going for him.”
The Patriots have a strong tackle depth chart with Matt Light (left), Sebastian Vollmer (right) and Nate Solder (swing) 1-2-3 when all are healthy. Cannon would work in behind that group, providing insurance if Vollmer suffers a setback in his hopes of returning from a back injury.
At guard, the club has Logan Mankins (left) and Brian Waters (right) atop the depth chart, with Ryan Wendell and Donald Thomas the top backups. Thomas, in his fourth season out of UConn, was an emergency signing earlier in the year and he figures to be the player most affected by the possibility of Cannon joining the 53-man roster. Both are tackle-guard types.
At this point, it makes sense to think the Patriots will take a few weeks to work Cannon into the mix. They can do so without counting him against the 53-man roster, giving them time to gather more information and see how the injury situation looks along the line before making a final decision.
It’s a good position to be in — for the team and Cannon.
Hard no to root for this dude.

Per sportsMD
How is a midfoot sprain treated?
A mild, grade 1, midfoot sprain can be managed non-operatively with a short period of immobilization in a hard-soled shoe or a removable boot. A short period of limited weight-bearing may be necessary to allow the ligament to heal and therefore the swelling and pain to subside. Regular icing, elevation and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) are both important to treat the swelling along with the pain. In most of these cases, the athlete will be able to return to participating in their sport in anywhere from a week to a few months

Just the idea of somebody being so hopeless and lazy that a life coach — the person who’s sole job is to help you overcome such things — would actually fire anyone is a pretty funny concept. It’s like getting knocked out by your priest.

JC is a pro so he could handle it but I think there will be teams that will want him as a starter and so he’ll leave. In hindsight should we have kept Gradkowski as a backup for a game like Sunday? I say no because of the distraction he would have been and it’s likely we wouldn’t have traded for Carson if this were the case. What say you?

Sure hope Hue isn’t playing games with “might return to practice next week.”
It is very good news that there’s nothing anatomically screwed up in his foot from the sprain.
DMac’s had a lot of foot/toe problems. Maybe he should look into wearing a different type shoe (not talking brand).

Jason Campbell will get another opportunity to compete for a starting job – maybe in Cleveland or Seattle.

October 25th, 2011 at 1:09 pm
I don’t think Campbell will make it back this year, but I don’t think we’ll IR him after watching Sunday’s performance. Imagine we get all the way to Week 16 or 17 leading the division and poised to make a run. Palmer gets nicked and we have to put Boller back in there.
Hue wouldn’t be able to sleep all season with the specter of that hanging over him.

October 25th, 2011 at 1:10 pm
Been rethinking the Palmer trade over and over again.
I understand why the trade was made, but I can’t convince myself it was a good one.
The only thing that can change my mind is if CP plays lights out for about 4 years and we win a SB, or if his play takes us to the playoffs for several years.
That’s really the only way the trade can be validated.
I just can’t come to terms with giving up a one and a two (possibly two number one’s) for Palmer.
Of course, it’s easy to second guess Hue. The Raids were in a bad situation. My personal opinion is that JC wasn’t going to be the answer going forward anyway, but the question remains – What were the Raids going to do for the remainder of this season ?
The options were few. Try to pick up a vet off the scrap heap ? Slim pickings, and who’s really out there ? Probably not a good avenue. Hard to envision this option salvaging the season.
The other option was to go with Boller as long as possible, hope for the best, and if he flamed out as anticipated move on to Pryor. Also a scenario not likely to salvage the season, but at least by the end of the year we’d have a better idea of what TP was capable of down the line and some more draft picks to use accordingly.
Obviously(Hue!), the Raids were between a rock and a hard place. You want to salvage the season, win now if possible – but you also have to be cognizant of the danger of making a bad decision that could hurt the franchise for years to come.
If Palmer saves the season and solidifies the QB position for several years then this will go down as a decent trade. If not, we’re going to be second guessing it for a long time.
I’m hoping Palmer is able to deliver, but I’m skeptical he will.
Either way, I don’t feel comfortable about the deal. Think we paid too much out of desperation. Try as I might, I can’t convince myself this was the right long term move.
But, what’s done is done.
Going to have to live with the consequences.
SMASH THE MULES !

I would like to know how many times the Raiders blitzed on Sunday and how many times Matt Cassel was actually knocked down
I would also like to know if we’re gonna light the torch for Al Davis at every home game, regardless if the team is prepared to play a football game or not. That was disrepectful imo.
Hue says we were prepared, but didn’t play well (ie. it’s on the players) – then says it wasn’t Boller or Palmer’s fault we lost, but his own. So which is it?

Matt Cassel (as expected) struggled versus the Raiders.
all AFC West QB’s do.
completed 50% of his passes, despite not being sacked and the Raiders only having 2 active CB’s
2 INT’s and 0 TD’s

Al Davis is more to blame for the losing in the Russell years than anyone. The Raiders certainly improved after Russell left. But they are going to REALLY improve after Al has left.

If fans of every NFL team took IQ tests, I guarantee you the Raiders would average about 20 points below the second to last team. That’s how dumb Raider fans are. I’m not joking.

My buddy has a league where it’s first come, first served. no waivers. no waiting for a guy who is released on a friday or saturday to become available on Wednesday of the following week!
October 25th, 2011 at 1:23 pm
Davis was to blame for drafting JaMarcus, and every other lousy player on the teams he played with, including defenders that can’t tackle and offensive players who can’t block or catch.
Davis was the one who created a nonstop coaching turnstile and total confusion in the offensive gameplanning.
Russell should take blame when Al climbs out of his grave and takes blame for being MORE AT FAULT than anyone else. He never did that. Why should a player with no personnel control take blame for a failure that the owner/gm never took his share of blame for?
October 25th, 2011 at 1:24 pm
Either way, I don’t feel comfortable about the deal. Think we paid too much out of desperation. Try as I might, I can’t convince myself this was the right long term move.
But, what’s done is done.
_________________________
gotta wait and see how he plays and compare the other options. We weren’t getting luck. Barkley if traded the same picks maybe but our team is good now would he get up to speed while this rosters window is open? Also doesn’t have a big arm. Rodgers, Manning, Brady, Brees, Rothelisberger, Bradford, and Stafford are not gonna be available any time soon.
October 25th, 2011 at 1:24 pm

October 25th, 2011 at 1:25 pm
All Al ever said was, “I made mistakes”, He was never specific. And of course he never apologized for the things he should have apologized for. Always small stuff. Al basically took zero accountability for how bad his team sucked in the final 20 years of his life. But the fans expect others to take blame. Unbelievable. That’s why it’s common knowledge in the sports world that Raider fans are the dumbest fans.

The Raiders were not the only team that wanted Russell-they just had the misfortune of having the first pick in the draft. Every team and I mean every team has draft busts. Most teams/reporters just have a bone to pick with the Raiders so they try to make them look bad by reporting the negative. Why not talk about Ford,DMac, Bush, DHB Asomogha, Janikowski, Lechler Woodson and on and on

Per sportsMD
How is a midfoot sprain treated?
A mild, grade 1, midfoot sprain can be managed non-operatively with a short period of immobilization in a hard-soled shoe or a removable boot. A short period of limited weight-bearing may be necessary to allow the ligament to heal and therefore the swelling and pain to subside. Regular icing, elevation and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) are both important to treat the swelling along with the pain. In most of these cases, the athlete will be able to return to participating in their sport in anywhere from a week to a few months

How about we don’t blame anyone for the 7 year drought? Nobody?
We don’t blame Al.
We dont’ blame Russell either.
Could you guys even go for that?
Would that be fair enough?>
Or do you still insist we must blame Russel, but not Al?
Come on, let’s stop blaming Russell or Al. It was nobody’s fault. Just happened.
Either we blame nobody, or we blame EVERYONE. And I’d say the GM/owner of the team would have to take the most blame. But I’m all for not blaming anyone, period, if that will work for you guys. But I just don’t know if you guys can resist blaming Russell.

On Jabustus Russell…………………i honestly believe he was drinkin’ the purple drank while he was playing for the Raiders. The way he could not get away from the pressure – and then fall over like a big tree. Then – the way he would put on that stupid skullcap on the sideline and be sitting there LAUGHING while we were losing games. That is why I literally hate him, can never forgive him and hope he never plays in the NFL again. He took the money and gave NOTHING back! Just thinking about his interview has me seeing red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s my problem with him. If he’d been serious, attended the meetings, didn’t show up late for practice, etc. and was trying hard on the field – I would chock it up to a mistake.

Mistic-
You look real sad here bruh. So on one hand you criticize Palmer and accuse him of
1) “Not being a leader”
2) “Not admitting that he played poorly against the Chiefs”
3) “Making excuses for his poor play against the Chiefs”
all because he pointed out to the media that he has not fully assimilated the play book or gotten familiar with his receivers.
Then when I show you clear examples of Jason Campbell doing the SAME THING and making statements like….
“I haven’t played in the same system for more than one year.” or
“I have had to play with a different offensive coordinator every single year.”
Your excuse is that…”Campbell doesn’t have the BAGGAGE that Palmer does” so that excuses Campbell for making statements that explain why he had poor performances.
Come on Mistic. You can’t be this sad bro. I know you’ve got to be able to do better than this!

A lot stuff going on in here, for me, I am completely focused on one thing …. Palmer, our season rides on his arm, completely. McFadden may be up&down all year with injuries and Bush and JOnes are formiddable backs, but Palmer is going to have to play mistake free and make the throws to get this team winning. With Campbell I saw our team at 10-6 … If Palmer can develop at a nice rate I think 10-6 is still fair and 11-5 possible with the defense starting to play better against the run.

No one was happier than I was when the Raids finally came to their senses and jettisoned JaMoron Russell.
Usually when the number one overall pick in the NFL draft turns out to be an immense bust for your team, as a fan you have trepidations that he might sign elsewhere and do well.
Even with some members of the media and a very few fans attempting to blame the Raiders for JaMoron’s complete and utter failure – I was 99.9% certain that this turkey would never play another down in the NFL.
The combination of being unmotivated and brain dead is simply too much for any QB to overcome, even if he is physically gifted. Notice I didn’t say talented. Because the truth is, JaMoron was just a big guy with a strong arm but NOT talented. At least not NFL QB talented.
Doesn’t matter how motivated he gets. Doesn’t matter if he’s past his sizzurp or apnea problem. Doesn’t matter what kind of shape he gets into. He’s a blathering idiot incapable of uttering a comprehensible sentence and devoid of the mental capacity to play QB in the NFL.
That’s why he hasn’t taken another snap in the NFL and almost certainly never will.

Russell says he was betrayed by then-coach Tom Cable:
“I stuck my neck out for him. Didn’t complain when he benched me as the starter. Didn’t complain when he called the same plays five damn times. Didn’t [badmouth] him to other coaches. When the [media] asks me, I say, ‘He’s a good coach, a good guy.’ Then I hear he says I was the worst thing ever happened to the Raiders, if it weren’t for him we’d be in the playoffs?… It just got to where the game wasn’t fun for me.”
——————————————————
LMFAO!!!!
Say what you want about Russell, but this has some truth to it. Cable would not have had a job if not for Russell. If Russell doesn’t endorse Cable, he never NEVER gets the interim tag removed.
And Cable CERTAINLY called the same damn plays over and over again. JFB and I used to biotch about that all the time. TERRIBLE play caller.
With that said, Dumb arsse Russell thinking he didn’t have to take a paycut to stay on the team is what got him cut.

The difference is that JC never has never been known as anything other than a pro. He doesn’t have & never has had the baggage that Carson has.
_______________________________________________________
Mistic-
You look real sad here bruh. So on one hand you criticize Palmer and accuse him of
1) “Not being a leader”
2) “Not admitting that he played poorly against the Chiefs”
3) “Making excuses for his poor play against the Chiefs”
all because he pointed out to the media that he has not fully assimilated the play book or gotten familiar with his receivers.
Then when I show you clear examples of Jason Campbell doing the SAME THING and making statements like….
“I haven’t played in the same system for more than one year.” or
“I have had to play with a different offensive coordinator every single year.”
Your excuse is that…”Campbell doesn’t have the BAGGAGE that Palmer does” so that excuses Campbell for making statements that explain why he had poor performances.
Come on Mistic. You can’t be this sad bro. I know you’ve got to be able to do better than this!
==================
I dont know why you are so stuck on this but you are trying to speak for me and you have taken parts of statements and mixed them to the point of being senseless.
Im not even sure what you are trying to find out? I was discussing palmers statemenst after the game. SDome of the things he said sounded like excuses. I cant give him the beneift of the doubt because of his history in cincy.
Remember he wasnt part of the solution, demanded a trade, then pussed out of the next season took his money and went straight to the bank. These are not examples of leadership.
I have not criticized his play from sunday, it was lousy but he walked in off the street. He should have never seen the field.
You say Jason campbell was “doing the same thing” and i disagree. these are two completely different circumstances. Jc has never signed a huge contract, flamed out badly year after year with star laden offense amid a storm of diva infused finger pointing. Palmer on the other hand has, this is why I will scrutinize what he does, his baggage follows him into the raider locker room. You may not want to accept the fact that his actions over the last year or so show a lack of leadership and commitment, but to each his own. For me it doesnt fly, especially in light of the level and standard of professionalism that our former qb Capmbell has set.
Palmers own personal history is why I am not sold on him as a leader and that includes his post game comments. Why you insist on trying to compare this to JC’s situation when he arrived is beyond me, but it is also misguided.
October 25th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
ussell said part of his struggles arose from dealing with the death of 11 family members or friends, including uncle and father figure Ray Ray:
“I went through so much no one knew about. Go to a funeral on Saturday, fly into the game on Sunday. Then I hear, ‘He doesn’t lead by example.’ Really?”

Excuses don’t work coming FROM or being used FOR players. Palmer hasn’t made “excuses.” He spoke the truth: he HASN’T HAD THE TIME to establish chemistry with his team.

I’m emphasizing this point, because you have had an unusual man crush on Jason Campbell since he got here.
Every QB that has come here since Jason, you have tried to find something wrong with him.
Now for the record, I support Jason Campbell and am rooting for him. He was the best option for the Raiders to win NOW before he got hurt!
But if you wanna talk about ENTIRE CAREERS and entire BODIES OF WORK, Campbell has nothing to brag about himself.
But you put blinders on when it comes to Campbell’s flawed and woeful performances, but emphasize Palmers.
Even tho it is obvious that Palmer has accomplished more in his career and has better numbers over his career, than Campbell.
That double standard is what’s making you look bad, and I’m gonna keep callin it like it is.
Cincy has been a mental asylum and multiple players have wanted out but you act like this is only applicable to Palmer because he didn’t want to play there anymore.
Like he is the first player in the NFL who has ever been disgruntled, or refused to play somewhere!
So I guess Eli Manning and John Elway aren’t leaders either right. After all, they refused to play for certain teams as well right?!?

Why would jc ever come back? Unless he makes it back this year & Palmer tanks, he won’t have a chance to compete. The money & draft picks we lost have ensured that much. Even if he makes it back Hu thinks he can dust off the 2006 version of Palmer & bring him back to life.

Kind of agree, but f all that. We traded 2 first rounders for the guy and he’s on the books for 12 Mill next year. We were a team without expectations, and now we put them on ourselves because of what we gave up and the cost. Every Raider fan has to determine what will make this trade worth it. I’m hollering AFC divisional playoff round or bust. Anything less is unacceptable unless we barley make the playoffs this year and make it the next few years as well. But there is no “awhile”. When the org made the business decision to reach for him the way the org did, they’re basically promising the fans quick returns on investment. We have to hold them to that. In Hue we trust. He’ll either go down forever as HUE JACK CITY the legend or HUE-Jack-Ass if this Carson experiment doesn’t pan out.

______________________________________________________
Mistic-
What you are doing now is called Grasping For Straws!
Your exact statement about Jason Campbell and Carson Palmer is…and I quote…
“He(Campbell) never complained or demanded a trade or quit like Palmer.”
Is Palmer, the first player in the NFL to complain or demand a trade?!?!?
So is EVERY player that demands a trade a QUITTER? Or is it just Palmer????
Is John Elway a quitter? What about Eli Manning? Is every player who wants out of their team because of what they perceive to be dysfunction, a QUITTER?
I’m still waiting for an answer, because your criteria for so called leadership is flawed man. And flawed in a major way.
If your criteria that you have created for Palmer, can not be applied evenly and equally to EVERY STAR PLAYER IN THE NFL, than it is fatally flawed!
Jason has developed into a GOOD NFL QB. He is better now than he was in Washington and he deserves a tremendous amount of credit for helping turn our franchise in the right direction.
But he had FLAWS too fam, and major ones. His inability to execute an NFL caliber QB slide, cost us TWICE against Cleveland. Once resulting in a FUMBLE and Twice resulting in his injury.
He did the same thing in his FIRST start for us against the Titans, and over a year later, he still hasn’t corrected that aspect of his game yet!
So it became time to pass the baton to the next man up who can lead us to a possible championship!
That man is Palmer. Stop questioning his leadership and trying to find fault with him, because of your flawed, double standard, criteria for leadership.
He’s our starter, and you need to back him JUST AS MUCH as you backed Jason Campbell! Straight up!

Good stats Terrapin. Glad i picked him up for my fantasy team.
I am hoping that Hue’s “magic” dusts off Palmer and returns him to his 2006 stature. Of course! We didn’t pick him up to play less than that, I hope. He stated that he has 80 mil in the bank……so his return is not fueled by greed, right?

I hope we don’t have to wait until next year to see Palmer at his best. He gets a break starting against Denver, a must win.
Hell, other teams start rookies and win.

Yes! Didn’t Roethlisberger take Pitt. to the big game his rookie year?
Saying it may “take years” to jell might be true..to totally jell 100% but there’s no reason he shouldn’t be a QB that gets us big wins right away…ala other first year QB’s who have done so.
I agree, it will take time for the receivers to get used to him.
With that thought in mind, is it worth considering bringing in a receiver he’s used to working with…who he has “jelled with” to some extent? That would be T.O.

I’d rather have Russel back than keep Kyle Boller.

I agree 100%. Boller is not only NOT an effective offense mover, but he’s one of those horrible QB’s who can literally move u backwards and turn the opposing defense into an offense.
Reminds me of the Bears when they had Chad Hutchinson..or Todd Collins.

Jb. .peyton doesn’t look like he’s too excited about mentoring anyone. . He probably feels he can play 5 more yrs. . Kinda what favre did with Rodgers. .. I do think luck going to Indy too..
