Three players worked out by Raiders identified; two are RBs
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, October 27th, 2011 at 11:51 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The three players who worked out for the Raiders on Wednesday, and coach Hue Jackson refused to identify, are: running backs Stafon Johnson and Lonyae Miller and veteran defensive back Brian Williams.
Johnson spent time with the Tennessee Titans, but he has not appeared in any regular-season games. Miller appeared in four games for the Dallas Cowboys in 2010, but he didn’t touch the ball on offense.
Both weigh in excess of 220 pounds and play a position at which the Raiders are well stocked. Therefore, their passing through Alameda for a workout portends Jackson being concerned about lead running back Darren McFadden’s health, at least in the short term.
McFadden suffered a mid-foot sprain against the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday and exited the game after only two carries. He was held out of practice Tuesday and Wednesday. Tests for structural damage returned negative.
The Raiders aren’t required to provide an update on McFadden’s status until Wednesday, four days before their next game, against the Denver Broncos. Their next practice isn’t until Monday.
It’s possible that Jackson is just doing his due diligence and seeing what is out there in terms of free-agent running backs in case McFadden’s injury doesn’t heal as well as hoped for or he aggravates the injury at some point between now and the end of the season.
Michael Bush and rookie Taiwan Jones picked up the slack during McFadden’s absence against the Chiefs. They are expected to do likewise if McFadden misses anymore time.
Williams, 32, is a 10-year veteran who has played for the Minnesota Vikings, Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons and, most recently, the New York Giants.
He has started 99 regular-season games and intercepted 19 passes.

Can’t have enough RB’s.
October 28th, 2011 at 12:12 am
Can’t have enough RB’s, especially if this DMC mid-foot sprain is more than that. Hopefully, it’s not a Plantar Fasciitis issue…that could be long-term.
October 28th, 2011 at 12:17 am
I sure hope DMAC’s injury is nothing serious. That would be a HUGE blow. This guy means a lot to the offense.
October 28th, 2011 at 12:20 am
My guess is that Johnson & Miller, at their size, are potential replacements for Bush next season. Williams got an audition ’cause they’re afraid that Chekwa or C. Johnson is going to take a while to get healthy.
October 28th, 2011 at 12:25 am
Stefon Johnson was a good RB at USC. .. he was expected to be a strong powerful RB. .. but after that weight bar slipped and fell on his neck. .. that dude is lucky just to be alive
.. I know he went thru major therapy just to get his voice back let alone reviving his football career. . I wish him all the best.. he’s a good Guy!!
October 28th, 2011 at 12:27 am
Dmac most likely out for the Denver game… the rest of the team needs to step up!!… Taiwan and bush need to pick up the pace…
October 28th, 2011 at 12:29 am
I can’t stand to see what’s happening in Oakland. But, it’s a mess of massive proportions. There’s nobody to actually deal with, because there a lot of people pushing separate agendas. A lot of them (most) aren’t even from Oakland…but they’re trashing the place. Them, and the police, of course.
But…I try to stay away from the political/police-state debates…too many wackos in the world. Coming to a football blog is supposed to be about football…or sports, at least. If nothing else, aren’t we all sportsmen/women? Ha, I know how stoopid that sounds, knowing some of the regulars here!
Like World Series game #6…now that was the best of sports entertainment right there. Unbelievable drama from all directions, with goats and heros, and a few who were both. It was an amazing game (and Series) to watch, regardless who you root for.
Still not enough to diminish my craving for the Raiders this week in the slightest, though. The Raiders give us all those things I mentioned above, too.

October 28th, 2011 at 12:54 am
One of the worst showings by the Raiders ever…the past few weeks caught up to them. And, losing DMC changed the complexion of the game way too early. It’s a different ball game with that weapon on the field.
October 28th, 2011 at 12:59 am
Hey Nation this is one fun fact! I knew it would just a matter of time before Hue contacted Stafon Johnson because they went to the same high school. We all attended Dorsey High in Los Angeles. A matter of fact Coach Paul Knox was the assistant coach back when Hue was the QB of the team and Stafon and myself played under coach knox as head coach. But on a serious note. We have to get healthy if we will contend in the AFC West. I am not worried about Carson Palmer. I am sure once he gets up to speed, he will light up the field with lasers to those speedy WR’s. And man I can’t wait to see how Darren McFadden looks behind that line when you can’t put 8 or 9 in the box. Go Raider nation… Oh one last thing I think we should create a “Black hole or Blackout Uniform for night home games. I saw this picture on yahoo(just search Oakland raiders and click images and it’s the picture labeled “Ready for Combat” with a player dressed in a #21 jersey(Should be #20) and a black raider helmet. I just thought it would be cool and it would help generate more income for the team. I love the tradition, but we should do something a little different since we are changing at the top. Tell me what you think.
October 28th, 2011 at 1:05 am
I wear Black every game.
Are you in Iraq right now?
October 28th, 2011 at 1:20 am
Out.
October 28th, 2011 at 1:31 am
Yes.
October 28th, 2011 at 1:34 am
The uniform is Black both top and bottom plus the black helmet. Then we can call for an entire black out type of theme at the stadium.

How about bring some kind of rally towel to the game next Sunday, like a black sock or something? I think the more stuff the crowd does, the better.

October 28th, 2011 at 4:28 am
Taiwan has holes. Not the best receiver, good on swings and such and a liability in protection but special special skills and vision in the run game

From a PFT commenter:
“it raises the question of Kyle Boller’s dedication & preparation. There’s no way he should be that bad. You see Carson Palmer & the WRs working overtime during the bye week. You don’t hear of Boller sacrificing his bye week to join them, do you?
He promised his wife he’d take her to Bimini.
This is a BUSINESS, Kyle. It is a mortal sin to show up, at home, and stink that bad in front of the home fans when you have 5 or 6 games blacked out every frickin’ year. Especially since you could have avoided the whole debacle by putting more work in. Get with the program, Tinkerbell.”
October 28th, 2011 at 6:09 am
That ‘prepare for combat’ uniform was a fraud that some guy created to show what Nike was going to do with all of the NFL uniforms next season. While I think it is pretty sweet looking on its own merit, it would be totally disrespectful to Al Davis and the history of this organization to make that change. We are the Silver and Black, and we will forever be the Silver and Black!
October 28th, 2011 at 6:27 am

Williams intercepted 19 passes? Shoot, why not?

I would “support” the occupy crowd if they were not blind as well as dimwitted. Their beef should be with the federal goverment that has enabled the corps and the bankers.

Nike needs to stay as far away from NFL uniforms as possible.
Some of the college unis they’ve come up with are downright embarassing. Wouldn’t want to see that happen to the Silver and Black. It’s already the best uniform in pro football.
October 28th, 2011 at 6:46 am
I AGREE WITH EDWARD TEACH ON UNIFORM THING.NOT SURE BUT I THINK THE GREEN BAY & RAIDER UNI’S HAVE CHANGED THE LEAST OVER LAST FEW DECADES.COLT’S ALSO.KEEP IT SIMPLE..
October 28th, 2011 at 6:50 am
Morning nation!
Great time for a bi week
watch the chargers an cheifs beat up on each other.
Neither team will beat the jets or texans. An SD already list to the jets. So if we all end up with the same record. Raiders will have the breaker. But let’s hope it won’t come to that. An we sweep Denver an the chargers an split with the chiefs

That work out in Atlanta was for players under contract. Boller wasn’t under contract with the team until after the lockout, as his 1 year contract last year had expired.

I really liked Lonyae Miller coming out of Fresno a couple of years ago. He definitely deserves to be on someone’s roster.
October 28th, 2011 at 7:11 am
And what did I miss last night? When I went to bed, Beltrie and Cruz hit back to back home runs and they were up 7-4…I looked about half hour later and they were up 7-5 bottom of the 8th…Did Pujols (SP?) stage another come back???
October 28th, 2011 at 7:20 am
The Raiders uniforms have changed slightly over the years. They used to have silver numbers, slightly different materials, but you’re right, they haven’t changed much at all. The Raiders and the Cardinals are the only teams who do not have stripes on their sleeves and I’m not so sure about the Cards any more. What I would like to see change is their away uniforms. I’d like to see black pants with their white jerseys.
October 28th, 2011 at 7:21 am
It’s slipping under the radar how good our defense is becoming here folks.
If we are healthy, I just don’t see how we don’t end up in the AFC Champ game.
October 28th, 2011 at 7:34 am
Not only being healthy, but no physical or mental melt downs…we have a great shot at it!
October 28th, 2011 at 7:35 am
“If we are healthy, I just don’t see how we don’t end up in the AFC Champ game.”
I like the way you think, why not us!
October 28th, 2011 at 7:38 am
I already told by friends here in Bmore to Bware of the SILVER & BLACK this year.I can see us playing them in either a Divisional Playoff or the Cship game
October 28th, 2011 at 7:39 am
Adding Aaron Curry and Ndukwe to upgrade Groves and Boyd take this defense to another level.
DVD developing into the player Rod Woodson thought he could be is icing.
Desmond Bryant being able to step in for ShoNasty and keep the same level of play????
This D is going to be DOMINANT once we clean up the missed tackels and personal fouls.

Good Morning ravenaider…if you are not planning on tailgating, the least expensive will be to BART it in. Not sure how much gas you will use to drive in from Napa, but parking is $35 and they do the Disneyland style parking. But if you plan on tailgating…that is the way to go!
October 28th, 2011 at 7:44 am
Hwnrdr,
Quite frankly, I think our team is good enough to absorb 2 or 3 personal foul calls per game.
I’m telling you mayne, our defense is not going to give up more than 13-17 pts a game. Our offense, with DMac healthy, will avg 24 or so per game.
STs are going to be a big part of that too. Money kicker and punter. Guys like Groves, Blackstock, and Ndukwe upgrading the STs???
And all our guys are young??????
This thing is set up really well, my friend!
October 28th, 2011 at 7:46 am
I’d like to see Kam Wimbley used more at DE in pass rushing situations. Maybe I’ve just missed it, but I feel like he’s being used less there this year.
I think the D is playing good ball right now. The one issue with going with Houston and Bryant at DE is that we get no quick pressure to take the QB off his spot unless we blitz. Right now, we’ve got four d-linemen out there trying to bludgeon the o-line back into the pocket. They’re effective at it, but it would be a lot more effective to have a rush end who quickly forces the QB up into that onslaught.
October 28th, 2011 at 7:46 am
I tell ya …
Dropped a bomb was on the radio this morning. I sure was listening for some subliminal reference to Black Wall Street.
I didn’t catch it, lol.
Sounded like he was talking about an ex girl.
October 28th, 2011 at 7:46 am
I do like what the D is becoming…man, how long did we have to wait to say that? Get everyone healthy down the stretch, watch out!
October 28th, 2011 at 7:47 am

Raiders will be a dangerous, dangerous team as long as we get to the playoffs. It’ll all depend on how quickly Carson and the offense can click and if it’ll happen fast enough to keep us on track. If we get in, the O should be clicking by then. If that happens, look out.

We shall see what Tebow has this Sunday.
My boss flew in last night, and is a Dionkey season-ticket holder.
Said the whole stadium will be chanting Tebow 30 minutes before kickoff and throughout the game.
They REALLY, REALLY think he is something special up there. There is no convincing my boss of anything else.
October 28th, 2011 at 8:48 am
YA, Bill didn’t seem to think he was playing all that well.
Guess he was playing the slot more, which is actually what we would need most anyway.

True, but he would really have to be playing poorly to do any worse than Devin McCourty has this season.
An interesting situation, for sure. Raiders can’t make a waiver claim on him though because his salary would take them over the cap.

What’s interesting is how they made the Pitt/Arizona super bowl all about faith and Kurt Warner, etc. Then when Pittsburgh won, suddenly it wasn’t about faith anymore. God just disappeared from the discussion. It was about the big bad Steeler punching the wholesome Cardinals in the mouth (like a black guy robbing a white guy at an ATM?) If you ask me, Santonio Holme’s catch looked quite divine. Is it possible that God was on his side?

The #15 ranking is even more impressive because of how badly we ranked after the Bills and Patriots games.
It is because we arent allowing the mental breakdowns that give up the big runs.
Our secondary has been a mash unit all year so the poor pass defense ranking is in no way unexpected.
I think Leigh Bodden would be a nice aquisition if CJ37 or Chekwa are going to miss much more time. We only had 2 active CBs for the KC game. I think we would have to cut a safety (Giordano would be the most obvious candidate) to add him though.

Good Morning ravenaider…if you are not planning on tailgating, the least expensive will be to BART it in. Not sure how much gas you will use to drive in from Napa, but parking is $35 and they do the Disneyland style parking. But if you plan on tailgating…that is the way to go!

As far as all this talk about taking out Tebow, please. Some of you are going to be in for a rude awakening a week from Sunday, when the Raiders see one roughing the passer penalty after another for merely breathing on him.

Drifted off his man and caught an incredibly poorly thrown ball.

You used to not be able to go to the ground for celebrations at all, now you can if it is religious of nature.
CJ37, doing his Primetime celebration, when he looks up and spreads his arms out, is iffy if you ask me.
Last game, on the Palmer pick-6, the guy was flagged for putting the ball on the ground and putting his foot on it and flexing. Can’t use the ball as a prop, lol.

I have never seen Tebow go to the ground or a knee on any of his TD’s.
He does his stupid Hulk Hogan flex after each score.
He does his prayer on the sidelines.
Try watching a game would you?

Reggie White was a bible freak, too, imo. He was a cool guy but his religious talk was annoying.

Agree. Tebow is an awful QB, but knocking anyones path towards righteousness, whether they are sincere with it or not, does not make you a better person for criticizing them. Not a single one of us knows what the ultimate answer to our existences are, and even if you dont adhere to any religion, like myself, you arent helping anyone or anything by criticizing their path, ESPECIALLY if you arent offering an alternative towards righteousness. We should all be aspiring to be righteous beings, and if Tebow or anyone elses path is Christianity, so be it, regardless of how many holes or inaccuracies there are. It matters not. We are all really just MATTER. We are ALL going the same place. We are just getting there at our own pace. Never forget that. Football is a fun sport to watch, to take our minds off of how scary and lonely this existence and universe can be. Accept it for entertainment, but we ALL have soul searching to do. Until we reach the next phase.

Well, wait a second. I wonder what Tebow actually prays for. If he prays for an end to world violence, poverty, hunger, I would say he’s a better person than me. If he’s praying for his own success, continued American imperialism, or for uber wealthy corporations to continue to prosper….then he’s NOT a better person than me.

When we play the Donks in two weeks, we can’t let this happen again on 3rd and 24.
You know that Tebow scored a 40 yard TD run and a 40 yard TD pass that game, which was only the second time in NFL history that happened. Steve Young did it once, Tebow did it in his first ever start.

Religion just intereferes too much. Either that or it’s a disguise for personal feeling like homophobia.
You guys remember David Tyree, whpo made the helmet catch for the Giants in the Super Bowl?
Said he’d give the catch back if it meant gays couldn’t get married because per his religious beliefs, it’s wrong.
Nevermind that throughout the time the Bible was written, MFs had multiple wives and there were all kinds of boy-lovers. Polygamy predated monotheism.
Belive in your deity — fine. But making up the rules as you go is ridiculous.
A few thousand years from now, when humans have evolved past taking fairy tales as fact, they will shake their heads at all the bloodshed they caused.

Tebow has major accuracy issues, IMO, due to his horrendous mechanics.
His mechanics are awful, that’s why he is so much more effective out of the pocket.
But he has been money in the 4th quarter of danm near every game he has played.
We better be prepared for it, and not get too casual with a 10 point 4th quarter lead.

Lots of time left to play out, but Tebow’s career QB rating is almost 25 points higher than Jamarcus’, and actually a few points better than Soup’s.
8 TD’s to 3 picks, 7 rushing TD’s to zero lost fumbles.
That’s 15 TD’s to 3 turnovers. Remember how we just wanted Soup to get to a 2-1 average?

October 28th, 2011 at 9:56 am
I’m pretty sure he was directly responsible for me hitting a home run

Ghost, I agree…I see it coming!
And why ae we arguing over religion now? Oh, Tebow…well…he’s gonna meet Darth Sidius!
October 28th, 2011 at 9:59 am
666, it’s none of your business what I do for a living.
And, to respond to you next point:
I never bragged about having some sort of elite job, the way you bragged the other day about “being educated”. That was the reason I probed you on what school you went to. And, true to form, you never did go to school, as we would later determine.
So, the answer is, yes, I work. That’s all you need to know. And instead of boasting of having a job I would rather just say I’m lucky to have one. So there’s no reason to prove myself.
October 28th, 2011 at 10:00 am
Lots of time left to play out, but Tebow’s career QB rating is almost 25 points higher than Jamarcus’, and actually a few points better than Soup’s.
8 TD’s to 3 picks, 7 rushing TD’s to zero lost fumbles.
That’-s 15 TD’s to 3 turnovers. Remember how we just wanted Soup to get to a 2-1 average?—————————— —————————————————————————————————————————-go marry him then.. He still throws like he has a lobster claw as a hand. Even his former teamate brandon Lloyd was like ” that may win a few games but doubts that they can play the whole season with that style.of play”

” worse football I’ve ever seen for 57 minutes , Then he won the game…

If you read the bible God killed over a million people with floods and plagues etc.
Satan only killed 8.
Who is kinder?
*****************
satan actually killed Jobs 7 sons, 3 daughters and all of his servants (an unnumbered amount), fair to say God is still ahead on the kill counter.
The religious folk say that God kills no one, he merely liberates them though.

Brandon Lloyd has played for like 5 teams in his career because he is a giant, selfish azz-wipe.
The guy has made a career out of catching meaningless passes at the ends of blowouts.

Wait…I smell something fishy here…oh, must be the ladies here at work cooking their fish! Or…
October 28th, 2011 at 10:05 am
Never got all the hate for Tebow. The big thing against him is his pass delivery…
I remember people saying Gannon had a weird delivery and coundn’t throw it a mile. Yet he was the best deep passer the raiders ever had, his completion percentage of passes flying over 30 yds must be a freaking NFL record…
Tebow wins. he might not have Aikman’s bazooka, but the kid has the rest of tangibles and intangibles to be successful
October 28th, 2011 at 10:06 am
I think Tebow will plateau as an above-average QB.
Don’t think he ever will be consistantly great, but he will start over 100 NFL games in his career.

Ravenaider… If this is you’re first time to attend a Raider game I’d suggest walking the parking lots ” north and south ” and take in the sights…. Most Raider fans will be friendly even offer you some tailgate delights … We always walk the lots anyway just to soak in the best fans in the NFL and Get the whole feeling of being there … I was born and raised in the area and theirs still nothing better than being there and seeing it all…
__________________
Took me 30+ years to get to a home game in Oaktown(lifelong Raider fan from PA), got to see ‘the man’ Timmy Brown, ‘the old man’ Jerry Rice and the rest of the Silver and Black light up the Tenn Titans… Score was 21-0 in the 1st qtr and the offense only ran a couple of plays!!… My second trip, I was elated to watch our boys pick off Big Ben-dover on their way to whipping the Queer-lers (the team I despise most)…
I suggest that you do allow enough time to walk the parking lots and take in all the sights. You cant even imagine what you’ll see and there is NOTHING like being surrounded by thousands of your own kind…
The tailgating is almost as good as the game itself… Enjoy!!

Ask anyone else here any kind of personal information and you will get the same answer.
No one wants to give you any kind of information because we all see what you do with it. You twist what people say so you can slander them on this blog.
I am sure most guys here think their wife or girlfriend are hot but they do not speak of those things here because of the retaliation they would get.
Look at poor KK the guy is hounded in here every day because he gave some personal information on this blog.
If you are not intelligent enough to see by my syntax that I am an educated person then it just shows how uneducated you really are.
Weather I went to Devry or Stanford is none of your business because me answering that question only leads to more probing questions which will be used against me in a slanderous manner here on this blog.

College is an experience and a way for you to think differently, manage deadlines, examine yourself, party.
But it won’t make you smarter. I didn’t finish college and I interact with college grads everyday that are surprisingly and inexcusably stupid.

Here’s why YOU wont.
1) You know I’ll further probe you on that school. I might know someone who went there, might know a thing or two about it, enough to call you on your b.s.
2) You know you didn’t go to college anyway. Maybe you have just enough dignity to not take your lie any further.

One day you schmucks will start talking sports again.
Then again…I guess not much to talk about with a blow out loss before the bye and a ton of questions about our QB and if we can stay in the playoff hunt or not…
Hope Dmac gets healthy again by Denver. At least then all we need is a QB that manages the game and doesn’t throw more than 1 int. With that, we could win against most teams.

I don’t understand people who hate religious people so much… I’m not a tebow fan…. I think he sucks as a qb… but I also think he’s a good Guy… guys like Kurt Warner…Derrick Fisher from the Lakers. .. the late Reggie white. .. all very good Guy’s. . All very religious. . Its kinda strange how people hate on guys like this. .
——————————
I don’t think people are necessarily hating on the guy for being religious. I get the sense that it’s because the media hypes up his religious beliefs that people suspect that it’s Tebow himself bragging about his religion and acting as if he’s holier than though. I don’t think that is necessarily the case with Tebow, but I think it’s the perception for a lot of people.
I also think that it’s the fact that he sometimes does things like in college and he would get in opponents’ faces and do that stupid Gator chomp thing with his arms. I think when everybody talks about how you’re this perfect, devoutly religious guy and they see you doing something like that they suspect more than a bit of hypocrisy.
There’s also the intense right/left political divide in the country right now and religion is deeply intertwined in that.
But mostly, I think it’s a backlash to the media hyping this guy up beyond anything he’s done on the NFL level to deserve it. I remember when Al Davis died, that Monday I DVR’d ESPN’s 2-hour long “First Take” program to see what kind of interviews and discussions they had about Al. They spent about 2 and a half minutes talking about Al Davis and a good 45 minutes and several segments talking about Tebow’s performance in the last 5 or 10 minutes of a 1-4 Denver Broncos team’s loss to the Chargers. So I think it’s the media hype more than his religion that draws the hate. People just let it out by going after Tebow and finding anything they can use about him to bash him.

I watched the raiders chiefs again last night, and it was not encouraging. palmer was terrible.
They ran the same play again , and again, but palmer couldnt execute, and the o-line couldnt protect him. It seems that perhaps jc’s mobility may have masked some of the protection issues on the line.
Palmer threw off his back foot, and lunched several helium balls into double and triple coverage, that were nearly picked off. I know he just got here but these throws look suspiciously like the ones that ended in picks playing for the bungles. I hope he can correct those habits. While everyone screams that he threw lasers, between defenders, they appear to be poor reads on coverage from where i sit. Throwing into double and triple coverage is not a safe way to make a living in the nfl. You may get away with a few, but often you will get picked.
he said after the game just like hu said “i wanted to play since i arrived”. then he hits the field and craps all over himself, and comes back with “i didnt expect to play”. This also is a bad sign.
palmer needs to correct these issues if we are going to contiune winning this year. Step into your throws, and find the single coverage match ups. be smart and ditch the gun slinger/panic passes. Dont air out the laundry in the media. If you say you want to play then you do play and you stink, just own it and work to improve.
I will chalk this up to first week jitters, his nerves caused him to throw up all over himself.
Just get better palmer, we gave up a lot to bring you here, dont screw it up.

===================
We will see, and i hope so or we are screwed.
However playing for the bungles throwing off his back foot and into multiple coverage was a bad habit that led to several picks.
In this offense you dont need to throw for a ton of yards. Play it safe and let the play makers do the work. Dont force the ball. You will get chances deep and in the seams, but you must be patient

Hillis missed practice again on Friday after suffering a setback to his hamstring injury at Wednesday’s practice, according to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. He also missed practice Thursday
===========================================
Fact is many players are going through similar issues. Manning, Campbell, etc. Injury bug is strong this year, with the lockout and all.

Mistic. … I saw that play when Palmer threw out of his back foot…. it looked really bad… but you have to givem a pass this time.. only 3 practice days… cmon !!… I still don’t expect him to be great vs Denver. .. but he needs to atleast be adequate. If not. .. he will start hearing the critics. . Are you rooting for him to do well? Or do you want him to screw up but have the team win?? Its a given you don’t like him very much… right??

its hard for me to evaluate palmer’s first game as a raider, considering his limited familiarity with the plays,team mates, coaches and environment.
so i didnt even try.
i liked some throws/decisions.
i didnt like some throws/decisions.
overall play with all things considered = ok, maybe decent enough for me not to worry/panic about

==================
Why would I want the qb to screw up? The qb must play a decent gme or the team will lose more often than not. That is a ridiculous question
Who said i didnt like him? i have identified some things in his game that have dogged him over the years. The same things that showed up on sunday. So while everyone says “its just 3 practices” to me it appears that they could be the continuation of a trend and bad habits.
Ther isnt anything wrong with pointing out areas that cause concern.
Why are people so sensitive on this topic? Blogger here trash so many of the players, coaches and front office, but one word about carson is taboo.
Interesting
October 28th, 2011 at 11:52 am
[...] The Raiders looked at veteran cornerback Brian Williams this week as a well as a couple low-level running backs, which lends speculation that the team could be worried star Darren McFadden may not be healed from a foot injury by Nov. 6 when the Raiders host the Broncos. [...]

We say these things because you’ve obviously ignored problems that dogged JC over the years and credited him for “engineering” things he didn’t deserve a whole lot of credit for. Wonder why you don’t give Palmer the same pass.
Fact is, Palmer > JC.

His death left many heart broken.

False. Also why is everyone still hung up on JC, he is injured. Whenever i bring up palmer, you mention Jc, its weird.
i dont give passes for quitting or throwing coaches under the bus, i would not have given one to Jc either but he never did that.
So is there something else palmer needs a pass for?
October 28th, 2011 at 12:10 pm
False?
OK.
We’ll do a comparison later.
We bring up JC because of your double standard. Be excited we upgraded the QB position.
October 28th, 2011 at 12:11 pm
Anyone else notice that old goat Krappy’s been noticeably absent from his precious blog this week?
The only time he showed up there was an Airplane style smackdown line to get a quick piece of the old fool.
He’s gotta be devastated that his only reason for living – crying and whining about Al Davis on an internet blog – is gone.
Although I’m sure he can fill in the void by moving some prime real estate for good ol Kane & Associates.
Sorry, couldn’t resist!

Its obvious You’re still hurt because of how things went down. .with the trade after jc’s injury… You have to get over it man… everyone knows you don’t like Palmer. .. quit acting… but if You’re a Raiders fan.. it will mean you support Palmer weather you like him or not… you put too many posts out there about this topic. Most know where you stand man!! You’re not fooling anybody…just let it play out.. support the raiders… and if that means supporting Palmer?? Then do it..!”

what double standard?
im not sure we “upgraded” the position, but i do think palmer can be a suitable replacement. If he some how can morph into his 06 form maybe i could consider it an upgrade. If he reverts to his 4-12 20 pick form of last year it will be a downgrade in my book.

Al Davis Death Certificate — Died from Bum Ticker
Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis died from a broken heart … this according to his death certificate obtained by TMZ. The document reveals three primary causes of death: A) Ventricular fibrillation — a dangerously abnormal heart rhythm B) Congestive heart failure C) Cardiomyopathy — heart muscle disease According to the death certificate, Al died at the Oakland Airport Hilton at 2:45 AM on October 8th. The document shows Al had been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy years ago … and suffered a ventricular fibrillation just 15 minutes before his death. Davis also suffered from Merkel cell carcinoma — an aggressive form of skin cancer. According to the doc, Davis — who was involved with the NFL for 60 years — underwent throat surgery just three days before his death. Davis also had heart surgery in 1996. Al was 82 when he died.

October 28th, 2011 at 12:35 pm
I like Hue tho, he just needs to simmer down a pinch and regain focus. He derailed his team last week with playcalling. If he just had Boller hand-off the ball 80% of the game, it would have been low-scoring one with promise to win. Past is past. I have ocnfidence in him, he seemingly has the palyers all bought in to get better from it.

Ravenaider… If this is you’re first time to attend a Raider game I’d suggest walking the parking lots ” north and south ” and take in the sights…. Most Raider fans will be friendly even offer you some tailgate delights … We always walk the lots anyway just to soak in the best fans in the NFL and Get the whole feeling of being there … I was born and raised in the area and theirs still nothing better than being there and seeing it all…
__________________
Took me 30+ years to get to a home game in Oaktown(lifelong Raider fan from PA), got to see ‘the man’ Timmy Brown, ‘the old man’ Jerry Rice and the rest of the Silver and Black light up the Tenn Titans… Score was 21-0 in the 1st qtr and the offense only ran a couple of plays!!… My second trip, I was elated to watch our boys pick off Big Ben-dover on their way to whipping the Queer-lers (the team I despise most)…
I suggest that you do allow enough time to walk the parking lots and take in all the sights. You cant even imagine what you’ll see and there is NOTHING like being surrounded by thousands of your own kind…
The tailgating is almost as good as the game itself… Enjoy!!
—————————————————-
Thanks for all the info and love my comrades!
Been a Raider fan since 1979…that Monday Night Game in Pitts. that Plunkett took over for Pastorini.I jumped on the underdog bandwagon and have been in Silver & Black ever since! That was the year that Mike Davis picked off Brian Sipes’ pass in the endzone to ICE the game.We were the 1st NFL team to take the WILD CARD and go to the Super Bowl.
I have been to The Vet,Meadowlands and of course Ravens stadium to see my Raiders.Last year,I came to the season home opener vs The Rams (was my first home game)I stayed in downtown SF and caught the BART to the game.
This time,I will drive in early and hopefully meet up with some of you guys.I am debating on coming out for the final game vs SD or do I wait and travel to a playoff game? Of course,hoping that Hue can get the troops to bounce back after the bye week and beyond!

Misty Eyes,
What’s the matter, no takers for your propaganda today? Too bad.
Still butt hurt because Hue replaced your idol with a better QB? So sad. Go grab a tissue ole buddy.
You wanted Palmer to light the world on fire after being away from football and only having a few days of practice? Hilarious.
In the meantime, I’m so glad Hue and the ghost of Al Davis have upgraded our QB position. Now we’ll know what it’s like to have a real QB in Oaktown. The deep ball returns!!! Can’t wait until the ghost of Al Davis, Hue Jack, and Carson Palmer start kicking some impostor azz in here!!! Haters that don’t like the deep ball and don’t like having a Pro Bowl QB with a big arm on our team will get run over! The ghost of Al Davis lives!
October 28th, 2011 at 12:47 pm
Sounds like Al just died of old age. The anesthesia from the throat surgery could have contributed to the heart troubles. Either way, when you get that age, everything’s vulnerable.
October 28th, 2011 at 12:48 pm
Just read on NFL.com that Curry told reporters after the Cleveland game that the oline was telegraphing all their plays (on Cleveland’s side). So he knew when they were going to run or throw.
Why would you say that? Even if true? Think Coach Barfochek would let any of his players say anything like that?

The only statistical advantage JC has is TD-INT ratio by .01.
So your only case is that Carson is a “diva.”

Raven… I remember that game!! I was 12 yrs old… I thought it was over! I was so happy that Brian sipe threw that into man.. definitely one of the happiest days of my life… I remember Brian sipe crying on the sideline. .. it was a great defensive game!”

Yes Lawd,that was a glorious day! For the life of me,IDK why this game has never been replayed or has not been included in a Raider box set of Greatest Games

Right, JC pounded me. DMAC, the O-line, Hue Jack, and the receivers had nothing to do with it. LOL. Poor Misty Eyes.
Never we couldn’t win with him. A mediocre QB can win with a star RB, solid O-line, and real good coaching. But go ahead and keep making sht up to prove your point. And keep hanging your hat on our record while JC was behind center.

Al never figured out how important a coach was.
Al viewed it as an area to save money, that HE was the coach.
And the organization suffered.
Both coaches in the Bay are making headlines.
One for how he’s helping the team.
The other for how he’s hurting his team.
COLD HARD FOOTBALL FACTS
More ColumnsEmail Kerry J. Byrne
The 49ers, under their rookie head man, are the best-coached team in football right now.
That’s right. No coach has his team playing smarter or more efficiently than Harbaugh.
Many analysts try to judge the quality of coaching with the eye test. The Cold, Hard Football Facts can quantify San Francisco’s razor-sharp performances with something very tangible: We can measure the quality of coaching with the harsh, inalterable reality of raw numbers.
Quantifying Team-Wide Efficiency
We track each NFL team in two key measures of efficiency. We call them Scoreability (offensive efficiency) and Bendability (defensive efficiency), which quantifies the bend-but-don’t-break phenomenon. These are two of our Quality Stats, indicators that have a direct correlation to winning football games.
Each indicator takes into account a variety of factors that go into winning football, including proficiency of special teams, field position, red zone offense and defense, penalties, third-down offense and defense and turnover differential, and spits out those performances in an easy-to-understand number.
Essentially, we measure how each team performs in so-called “situational football.” Put most simply, Scoreability and Bendability tell us which teams are smart and well-coached and which teams are not.
And no team right now is smarter or more well-coached than Harbaugh’s 49ers:
• No. 1 in Scoreability through Week 7.
• No. 1 in Bendability through Week 7.
Harbaugh’s team is boldly sailing into uncharted waters of efficiency. Since we began tracking these indicators in 2004, no team has ranked No. 1 in both offensive and defensive efficiency.
Keep in mind that these measures are much more than just intellectual exercises by stat geeks far removed from the sidelines. Proficiency in these indicators is critical to team success: teams that win the Scoreability-Bendability battle of efficiency are 83-20 (.806) through Week 7, including an incredible 23-3 in the last two weeks (.885).
In other words, smart, efficient teams win football games. Dumb, inefficient teams lose football games. (We track the Correlation to Victory of these and many other stats at CHFF Insider.)
Harbaugh’s 49ers are 5-1 and the surprise story of 2011 because they are the smartest, most efficient in football.
A Record Pace Of Scoring Efficiency
We measure each team’s Scoreabilty through Yards Per Point Scored — how many yards you need to score the equivalent of a single point. The lower the number, the better.
No team has scored more efficiently than the 49ers. San Francisco has produced a meager 1,815 yards of offense. But it has still managed to hang 167 points on the scoreboard. That’s an incredible 10.87 Yards Per Point Scored. In other words, the 49ers are good for about one point with each first down.
Not only is that performance No. 1 here in 2011, it’s on pace to set the record for scoring efficiency held by the 2007 Patriots. That 16-0 New England team needed just 11.17 Yards Per Point Scored.
The 2011 Patriots, meanwhile, help put in perspective the incredible efficiency of Harbaugh’s crew. Bill Belichick’s team has generated 2,847 yards of offense this year — 1,032 more yards than the 49ers in just six games. But the Patriots have scored just 18 points more.
The highly prolific Patriots are wasting a lot of yards, leaving a lot of points on the field and failing to generate points from units other than the offense — especially when compared with the 49ers.
The importance of efficiency is far more dramatic if we put Scoreability in the context of touchdowns.
The 49ers need just 76.1 yards of offense to score the equivalent of 7 points. The St. Louis Rams are dead last in Scoreability: they need 225.9 yards of offense to score the equivalent of 7 points.
Wow, what a difference! There is little wasted effort out of the well-oiled San Francisco machine. The Rams, meanwhile, are riddled with poor field position, poor execution and poor situational football.
Believe it or not, 5-1 San Francisco and 0-6 St. Louis are almost dead even in total offense: 1,815 yards for the 49ers; 1,807 for the Rams. But the 49ers have scored 167 points; the Rams have scored just 56. The winless St. Louis offense spins its wheels week after week, loss after loss.
Generating yards does not win NFL games, which is why it’s a waste of time for analysts to rank units by total offense or total defense. Instead, winning in the NFL is all about what you do with that output.
Smart, well-coached teams maximize their production. Harbaugh’s 49ers are getting the ball in good field position, they’re playing smartly in the red zone and on special teams and they’re not coughing up the football in bad situations.
(Note: Scoreability counts ALL points, not just those generated by the offense. The scoreboard does not care how those points get there, only that they do. Well-coached teams score points as many ways as possible. Scoreabilty rewards teams for proficiency in all phases of the game; Bendability applies the same rules to defense.)
Football’s Best “Bend But Don’t Break” Defense
The same benefit of efficiency applies to defense, where San Francisco is No. 1 in Bendability. They force opponents to march a spirit-killing 20.76 Yards Per Point Allowed.
In the context of touchdowns, San Francisco’s opponents need 145.3 yards of offense to put 7 points on the board. They have the best “bend-but-don’t-break” defense in football. Opponents may generate a lot of yards, but they do very little with all that effort.
Now compare San Francisco’s very bendable defense to the peanut-butter-brittle unit fielded by the winless Colts. Indy opponents need just 90.6 yards of offense to score the equivalent of a touchdown.
In other words, statistically speaking, almost every drive against the Colts results in a touchdown. In the case of the 62-7 loss to New Orleans on Sunday, this statistical phenomenon was on-field reality: the Saints scored on every drive but their last one.
It was a virtuoso performance of efficiency: New Orleans needed just 8.98 Yards Per Point Scored. But even then, it was only slightly more efficient than San Francisco’s performance all year along (10.17 Yards Per Point Scored).
The 49ers do all the little things right to make life tough for opposing offenses: they put them in bad situations, make them march long distances, win the turnover battle, and stiffen in the red zone.
Harbaugh’s 49ers are playing smart, efficient situational football in all phases of the game heading into their Week 8 visit from Cleveland. And it’s this quality of play that’s the biggest reason the 6-10 49ers of 2010 are 5-1 today.
Models Of Inefficiency
The 49ers may not be more talented than their opponents. But they’re winning games because they’re smarter than the other guys.
Conversely, the NFL each year gives us seemingly talented teams that fail to live up to expectations.
If you see a talented but under-achieving team, turn immediately to Scoreability and Bendabilty and there you will see what’s wrong with said team. In almost every instance, these talented underachievers play stupid football.
Norv Turner’s Chargers are a prime example of a team that consistently possesses boatloads of talent but that fails to live up to expectations.
The 2010 Chargers, for example, were No. 1 in both total offense and total defense. Yet they went 9-7 and failed to make the playoffs. The problem? The consistently dumb, inefficient Chargers ranked No. 28 in Bendability, meaning they surrendered a lot of cheap points that made it hard to win games.
The 2011 Chargers are even worse: No. 31 in Bendability. Only the winless Colts surrender more cheap points.
The Philadelphia Eagles are the poster child of a talented but dumb football team here in 2011. They seem to have all the pieces in place, including game-breakers all over the field — to the point that they were dubbed the “Dream Team” after cleaning up in the free-agent market.
But the Eagles are just 2-4 and dead last in the tough NFC East.
The problems in Philadelphia are easy to diagnose: this talented “Dream Team” is the worst in the NFL at situational football.
The Eagles rank No. 28 in both Scoreability (18.28 Yards Per Point Scored) and Bendability (14.12 Yards Per Point Allowed).
They waste a lot of effort on offense, generating yards with little to show for it. Then they compound the problems on defense, by giving up a lot of cheap points that make it hard to win games.

Mistic1 you and Hue Jackson are no longer in lock step!
Hue did not want JC long term so he waited until he had the chance to go out and get the guy he wanted.
Now Hue and I are in Lock step!
Bow down before me and acknowledged my greatness!
That’s how you act and you wonder why we are all telling you to shut up and stop whining already!

===========================
Thanks L.A
I have said all along that they are far more similar than many want to believe. You must also take into account that they both played for miserable teams.
here is where i make a few distinctions.
palmer has played a little longer. he has also played in the same offense year after year and had very good receivers, t.o. housh and ocho in their prime.
Jc played with inferioir receivers and a new offense yearly.
carson tanked in a bad locker room, then cashed a very large check and quit.
Jc came to a bad locker room with under performing talent in oakland yet, through force of will and by setting a standard of professionalism was able to remake it under his own personality. he transformed a loser into a winner. Even while a coach was fired and it seemed to all that turmoil would destroy our season even before it started.
looking at the numbers, and the case history now you can see why i dont consider it some kind of instant upgrade. He is a suitable replacement, if he can avoid the picks and off field antics.
they both have been around 82-84 rating for their career, but where palmer was trending down jc is trending up.
not sure why your comparing them though. i was talking about palmer only, he is the qb

If suitable replacement = upgrade, then sure. TO, Chad and TJ, huh? I guess, Cooley, Moss, and Davis are chopped liver. Carson’s better in literally every category but one, where they are almost at a dead heat. And of course, that’s proportionate. In reality, Carson wins more and throws more TDs.
October 28th, 2011 at 1:44 pm
Mistic. …. I don’t know how you root for Palmer man!! .. I always wanted jc to do well.. always!!! Why? Because he was the Raiders qb.. .. you backed yourself into a corner now!! Because when Carson plays well… You’re probably Not going to post very much…. but oh well?? Your choice man!!…
October 28th, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Mistic. .. do you want Palmer to do well?? Do you want him to throw for a lot of touch Downs? Or will you continue with the fairy tale of campbell being the reason the raiders are back… which is laughable. .. Campbell converts losers to winners?? Lmao. .. that’s funny!!

Listening to Soup’s part 2 interview, the following information was evident:
• He is still a really classy guy
• He throws nobody under the bus
• He has really found himself while at Oakland
• He has/had an excellent relationship with his teammates
• He speaks highly of his teammates
• He feels he’s a starter in this league and he most likely will NOT be in Oakland next year.
• He will be looking for a starter role next year.
http://bleacherreport.com/tb/bbK5c (select part 2 of his interview)
I personally would like to see JC remain in Oakland as the BU-QB. But, I do understand if he wants to move on. He could probably land a starting role at the SeaHawks. I will cheer for him as long as they are not playing the Raiders. He’s definitely a good guy. Unfortunately for him, his injury has initiated the Carson Palmer era in Oakland.
October 28th, 2011 at 3:24 pm
I liked jc as the raider qb, he seemed like he has more to prove and to accomplish vs palmer. I think either qb could take us to the promise land because we are a run first team and they basically just have to manage the game and not fukkk up. Jc seemed to have a handle on it before his bad luck injury. But if the dumbazz new how to slide we would still have our future picks and we would of beat the quiefs. Jc would of taken us to the playoffs and we would of re- signed him. Cmon he was making dhb look damn good out there why would we break up awesome chemistry!!! There is a lot of preassure on palmer cause he has a garage full of suped up muscle cars and hue just gave him all the keys to get us to the super bowl and get there fast, fast as in this year. I have faith that this will be done for mr al davis.
