More Raiders’ Monday notes, quotes

By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, November 21st, 2011 at 7:57 pm in Oakland Raiders.

Some more news, notes and observations now that print deadlines are met:

– Was Hue Jackson admitting he got a little conservative in his fourth-quarter play calling as the Raiders stretched their streak to 85 minutes without a touchdown in the game-deciding quarter?

You be the judge.

“It starts with me. I have to, as the primary play-caller, and the emotional leader of this team, make sure I’m on my `A’ game at all times. I’m not saying I’m not, but I have to go back and at halftime as I address them about making sure they finish, and coach Jackson has to make sure he finishes.”

Jackson went on to add that the Raiders would have scored in the fourth quarter had it not been for a blocked field goal attempt _ “Are you kidding me? Somebody doesn’t want us to score in the fourth quarter” _ and said the problem wasn’t for lack of effort.”

He also said, correctly, that some of these fourth quarters have included some very big plays by the offense that got key first downs and changed field positions to help the defense.

– Until Darren McFadden is spotted on the field, it’s hard to take seriously that he’ll be ready to play in a game. Jackson went out of his way to say McFadden doesn’t have some kind of hidden injury, that he simply wants him to be at 100 percent.

As frustrating as that is, anyone who watched McFadden as he tried to play through injuries as a rookie and in Year 2 would be hard-pressed not to agree.

“I don’t want a 70 percent Darren McFadden,” Jackson said. “I think that’s unfair to the player and unfair to the football team.”

– Through 10 games, it’s pretty clear Tyvon Branch is on the way to becoming the player Jackson said he is. Always a fabulous special teams player _ Shane Lechler was raving about Branch when he was a a rookie _ it’s clear he has stepped up to another level on the defensive side.

“I said before the season I thought he’d be one of the breakout players in the NFL,” Jackson said. “I don’t think he gets enough credit because he plays really well for us week in and week out. He plays every snap for us, doesn’t complain, he loves to play, he loves to be involved in tackling and pass defending and all that. I think he’s doing a great job.”

– About those quarterback sneaks with Carson Palmer . . .

“We got a big, ol’ 6-foot-5 235-pound quarterback. Why not just let him go instead of reversing pivot and handing to someone deep?,” Jackson said. “Plus, he told me he’s one of the best in the world at quarterback sneaks. That’s what he told me. I said let’s find out. I kind of jumped him for not making it the first time and making me look kind of dumb there.

“He knows how to get his pads low, we know how to get the ball in there. I think that was the easiest call I made all day, truth be told.”

– Jared Veldheer’s signature performance came with the help of some teammates. The Raiders ran some first-team defenders at Veldheer in practice to simulate Jared Allen’s skills, including Trevor Scott and Lamarr Houston.

“He’s what a Raider is., what a great Raider is truly all about,” Jackson said. “He went out there with a plan. Great credit to his coaches. They prepared him; they watched a lot of tape. We gave him some great looks in practice. And he went out there and got it done. That’s what pro football is all about. You play the best, and when you’re able to hold your own, you start to realize you’re starting to become something.”

Even better for Veldheer _ he had lots of friends and family from the Grand Rapids. Mich., area at the game. Veldheer will no doubt shrug this one off and start to prepare for the Bears and Julius Peppers, but his family deserves to bask in this one for a few days. Veldheer told reporters Monday he’d be back in a few minutes but strategically made sure he didn’t re-enter the locker room until the media was excused.

Typical offensive lineman, uncomfortable with getting credit. Would rather be a grunt than a star, if even for a day.

Met Veldheer’s parents during training camp on a couple of occasions and I know they check out the Web site and blog.

Bask in this one, mom and dad. It doesn’t get much better.

    I think Hue needs to go balls out on his pissed offedness against the refs. Call their BS, make some noise. The more he complains, the more he makes the league look like a bunch of conspirators. The league will want to save face and call off the dogs.

    Keep it up Hue, do not let up. Call them for what they are, full of BS.

    The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

    Irish we’re going to lose 3 more games this year. You know that. Still too many ? marks. We probably won’t win the division. Hopefully we’ll squeak a wild card.

    Some people think they have the right to confront players because they think they pay the players’ salaries. Of course, they don’t.

  163. 504 Raider Says:

    I’ll tell you guys where Hue Jax was screwing up. The posession when Bush fumbled we were getting 1st downs by running the ball. We were chewing clock but Hue was letting Palmer snap the ball with 12 to 14 seconds left on the play clock. Let that thing run down to 1 or 2 seconds before you snap. When Minny got the ball after the Bush fumble, there should have been almost a minute less than what remained onthe clock. That pissed me off the most at the end of the game.

  164. Gilligan Says:

    Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
    a tale of a fateful trip.
    That started from this tropic port,
    aboard this tiny ship.

    The mate was a mighty sailing man,
    the skipper brave and sure.
    Five passengers set sail that day,
    for a three hour tour.
    a three hour tour.

    The weather started getting rough,
    the tiny ship was tossed.
    If not for the courage of the fearless crew,
    the Minnow would be lost,
    the Minnow would be lost.

    The ship took ground on the shore of this
    uncharted desert isle,
    with Giligan, the skipper too,
    The millionaire, and his wife,
    The movie star,
    The professor, and MaryAnn,
    here on Gilligan’s Isle.

    So this is the tale of our castaways,
    they’re here for a long, long time.
    They’ll have to make the best of things,
    it’s an uphill climb.

    The first mate, and his skipper too,
    will do their very best
    to make the others comfortable
    in this tropic island nest.

    No Phones, No lights, No Motorcars,
    Not a single luxury.
    Like Robinson Crusoe
    It’s primitive as can be.

    So join us here each week, my friend,
    you’re sure to get a smile,
    from seven stranded castaways,
    Here on Gilligan’s Isle!

    CODE BLACK YA’LL!

    A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
    Then one day he was shootin’ at some food,
    And up from the ground came a bubblin’ crude.
    Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

    Well the first thing you know ol’ Jed’s a millionaire,
    His kinfolk said, ‘Jed, move away from there!’
    They said, ‘Californy is the place you oughtta be.’
    So, they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.
    Hills, that is, Swimmin’ pools, movie stars.

    Well now its time to say goodbye to Jed and all his kin.
    And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin’ in.
    You’re all invited back next week to this locality
    To have a heapin’ helpin’ of their hospitality

    Hillybilly that is. Set a spell, Take your shoes off.

    Y’all come back now, y’hear?

    Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

    New York is where I’d rather stay.
    I get allergic smelling hay.
    I just adore a penthouse view.
    Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.

    …The chores.
    …The stores.
    …Fresh air.

    ===========================================

    You don’t want to go into slow down mode until much later in a game. Lots of coaches and Q’s talk about getting in a rhythm and tempo has a lot to do with that. That was the lst thing Gruden did when he came here: he ran a much more uptempo offense and he ran much more uptempo practices. You really do not want to get out of that rhythm too early in a game.

    “You’re going to see from me extraordinarily radical proposals to fundamentally change the culture of poverty in America,” he added.

    Generally, the Fair Labor Standards Act allows minors over 14 to work in most jobs, with several exceptions for minors under that age. Hours are limited for minors under the age of 16. Some states have higher age standards.

    He also said Saturday Occupy Wall Street protesters should “take a bath” and “get a job.”
    ==========================================

    Funniest part is due to his conservative policies EVERYONE in the country has already taken a bath. And the reason there are no jobs in wealth is being concentrated into fewer and fewer hands. By definition, that is going to tank any economy.

    the line is very good. we have complaints. some dont like satele, cooper, etc…. but as a whole this o-line is very good. the all rotate positions well, shut up and do their job. satele would start for many teams in this league, just show you how amazing wiz is …… veldheer is a por-bowler a franchise LT, barnes is admirable for working hard this off-season to become more disciplined and heyer was cherished in washington but never clicked there.

    bruce campbell is the question mark, the knock on him outta college was he relied on his size, speed and strength with little skill or ability to learn assignements. another maryland product like: heyward-bey …

    I am concerned about his dogs. He seems to have lots of problems with them. Bush is not injury prone and he runs behind this line bigtime.

    I hate to say it but I would rather have Garret Leblonc?
