Report: McClain ‘remorseful,’ at team walk-through
By Steve Corkran
Saturday, December 3rd, 2011 at 2:45 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders middle linebacker Rolando McClain told CSNBayArea.com that he doesn’t see any reason why he shouldn’t play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Coach Hue Jackson isn’t ruling out the prospect, either.
Jackson told CSNBayArea’s Paul Gutierrez at the team hotel Saturday in Miami that he has yet to make a final determination after meeting with McClain on the heels of McClain’s arrest in Alabama on four misdemeanors, including third-degree assault.
“We’ll see,” Jackson said. “I feel very comfortable that we’re getting down to the issues with him. This is something he has to learn from, we all have to learn from. I will make the best decision for the organization and the football team.”
McClain, 22, flew from Decatur, Ala., to Florida on Friday night and joined the team at that point. He was excused to go to his native Alabama earlier this week so that he could attend his grandfather’s funeral.
The alleged assault occurred Wednesday night. McClain was arrested Thursday afternoon after the victim said McClain pointed a gun at his head and fired it near his ear. McClain’s lawyer said his client is innocent of any wrongdoing.
Jackson told CSNBayArea.com on Friday night that, “I’ve been advised to not say anything. Best thing I can do is just stay quiet and get ready for the game.”
When asked if he intended to play, McClain nodded his head and said, “No reason why I shouldn’t.”
McClain reportedly was present for the Raiders workout at Sun Life Stadium on Saturday, at which time he was welcomed by his teammates, according to Jackson.
And what came of the promised face-to-face chat between Jackso and McClain?
“Trust me, he’s remorseful,” Jackson said, “and he should be. For the situation he put his team and his teammates in … He needs to grow and learn from this. There are so many lessons to learn. These are ‘life’ things that we’re talking about.”
Bay Area News Group beat writer Jerry McDonald is on his way to Miami today. It’s unlikely that he will have any access to Jackson, McClain or any of the other players or coaches, given he won’t arrive until 10 p.m.

Start him. For we know this Tapscott guy could be lying about everything. Then what? We punished a guy for a fight he wasn’t involved in? Just start him. Lord knows no on except McClain knows enough.
December 3rd, 2011 at 2:55 pm
I think he will sit the first series out.
And that will be the end of it, from the Raiders or the NFL.
December 3rd, 2011 at 2:56 pm
It is now time to stop worrying about what happened in Decatur, Al and start worrying about what is happening in Miami, FL.

I doubt Hue would bench Romac. Too much on the line for the Raiders this late in the season. Maybe a couple of series but thats it.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:23 pm
DECATUR, AL (WAFF) – If Rolando McClain carried a pistol the night he allegedly used a handgun during an assault in Decatur, he did so legally.
Morgan County Sheriff’s Office officials said the former Alabama Crimson Tide football star renewed his pistol permit Wednesday, hours before the alleged assault.
23-year-old Rishard Papscott told Decatur Police investigators that McClain and Jerradius Willingham physically assaulted him at a home on Skyview Street. As Papscott crawled to his car, McClain allegedly put a gun to his head then fired a shot past the victim’s ear.

McClain hasn’t come close to earning a pass on this kind of screw up. He’s a dirt bag. Hope Jackson/Trask squeeze as much out of him as they can for the rest of the season then drop his ghetto ass. Fukin clown.
……..
Trask will be getting dropped right along with him.
Really???
You have so much valuable insight into the minds of the players and organization, that you know say the team’s executive vice president will get fired along with Rolando…
Another completely ficticous post by blog’s resident K O O K!
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:28 pm
I expect are dominant defensive effort from our D, and Mclain owes us a huge day, stop the run, line them up and makes some plays big guy, were all behind you !!!!!!

December 3rd, 2011 at 3:34 pm
Hue is a pansy, and he will prove it beyond any doubt. He’s already made it clear he’s not going to discipline McC with the “he’s remorseful. trust me.”. It will be his copout saying he talked to the “young man, and he will learn from this”. McC is a punk, and Hue is just another puppet who stupidly keeps yanking his own strings. If McC were white, you can be sure he would be riding the bench longer than a token series or two. Because he’s black Hue is going to play the race card, like some of you like to do, and say “he’s not in the ghetto anymore, so he needs to realize that.” I’m embarrassed to say the Raiders are one of the teams I support. You should be too.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:36 pm
Hue can’t make simple decisions regarding the team off the field, and during the game. Why should we expect him to make a good decision now? Is there any coach in the NFL who makes a stupid decision who follows it up by saying ‘yeah, knowing me, I’ll make that same decision again’? Any? No, just Hue the Tool.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:37 pm
McFadden20,
Seriously, how old are you? You can’t seem to think of anything except “CODE BLACK”. Kind of indicates you’re a dopey kid. Am I close?
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Don’t seem remorseful. Don’t really care, just get the win and let’s go to Green Bay 8-4

December 3rd, 2011 at 3:41 pm
Remorseful? McGhetto can’t even pronounce let alone spell Remorseful. He’ll sit the first series as “punishment” but that’s it. Wins are above all else in the NFL, especially ethics and morals. This clown will get off he has enough money to make it go away. We are talking about the South here. It’s a whole lotta nothing. Until the next time anyway and there will be a next time.

In Phoenix apalm, im good thanks though. You could send me one to of those Cuban hotties
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:48 pm
It would be the best thing to not play him.
1. McClain’s mind wont be on the job, a liability on the field, he’ll also realize life is bigger than football (funeral, shooting incident) and play half-hearted with that bad attitude he has.
2. Jackson needs to send a message to the rest of the team that no one is immune, no double-standards.
3. Jackson needs to bring the hammer on McClain himself.
4. McClain hasn’t even trained with the team and has a bad ankle as well.
December 3rd, 2011 at 3:50 pm
Code black is going to rise to the challenge tomorrow n come home 8-4 or better just fly to Wisconsin n come back after whoopin Packers A$$

December 3rd, 2011 at 4:08 pm
No matter what happens the rest of this 2nd half, I still think that Aaron Murray will ultimately be the best pro QB out of every college QB right now.
Yes, better than Andrew Luck, better than Barkley, better than RG III.
True sophmore, playing against SEC defenses with a poor line, and has the fastest release I may have ever seen.

As I sit here and read some of the things these”fans”are saying about McClain I wonder if you really are fans or do you just sit up on your perch and wait to persecute every damm player on our team.If its not Mcfadden its Mike Bush with the twinkletoes comments.if not Bush its Seymore being lazy.If its not Seymore its Jason Campbell checking down or DHB cant catch or McClain doesnt hustle hard enuff for you or Huff wont tackle or Branch is outta position,Satele or Carlisle getting pushed around.Reese cant block.Hue cant coach,blah,blah,blah all of you need 2 just stfu who makes you the judge and jury.You werent even there to know what happened.People are so quick to try n judge others and turn your nose up like you are all high and mighty,cant throw rocks in a glass house and think your sh!t has a pleasant aroma to it.Let the legal system play itself out,Rolando will get his day in court.

Half of you making all these statements and critiquing the players and coaches probably didnt play and those of you who did probably played the sideline picking splinters outta your a$$.Straight armchair GM’s who couldnt coach up a flag football team let alone the NFL,as long as we have been in a funk,and now that we are winning you still find something to nit pick and b!tch about like a woman in friggn menopause or something,but you claim to be fans if you dont like the way the Raider Organization is run there are 31 other NFL bandwagons you can jump on and ride with.this is RAIDERS BLOG,not cry n complain like a 2 year old blog MAN UP n GROW A PAIR,get down with the program or lay the f#@k down ROLL WIT IT OR GET ROLLED THE F#$K over…………..1 time for the RAIDAZZZZ,2 times for AL DAVIS bless his soul n may he RIP……………

everyone saying send a message, message for what nobody in here knows a damn thing about what happened. Some kid in alabama saying he did somethin to him give me a break. You all just haters and are glad this is goin on but have no clue what him not playing would do to this defense. If i was coach i woukd never sit a player down for putting himself in a bad situation. Bad situation what exactly does that mean im sure everyone in here has been put in a bad situation sometimes you cant control what goes on around you. I would hate for any of you to be in a jury.

NO SALE!

They’re ALL better then this scrub. Kid hides in big games. NO SALE!

Here’s a sure fire way to lose your team…
Bench a guy, who has been convicted of NOTHING and get gouged on the ground because you want to send a message.
What is this college ball?
Anyone ever remember messing up and the coach running you until you gave up your lunch?
There are many ways to send a message without costing 52 other men wins and loses. A good coach like Hue will find them and only the team will know about it.
That being said…no more distractions this season from players and can we get our playmakers back ASAP? Come on AL talk to the big Raider in the sky!

So someone is 5′11″ and immediately they could be the next Brees? For every ‘Brees’ there are a hundred small QBs out of college who never made it. Small quarterbacks in the NFL are the exception not the rule. Not saying a few inches means impossible to succeed, just they don’t get the opportunities, their stock falls, they do find it harder in the NFL with the monsters in the trenches, they end up back-ups to more physically-gifted QBs.

In the second place, he’s got a pot, as a sophomore, that took Stabler years.

I didn’t even focus on his height, just mentioned that was an obstacle for his stock/chances in the NFL. I focused on his QB ability. He has excellent touch/zip (accuracy) but he locks on to a receiver far too much, almost always, and holds onto the ball too long waiting (for that locked-on receiver to get open) doesn’t go thru his progressions, and given his OL woes, he gets creamed so much (he’s very tough I’ll give him that).

So someone is 5′11″ and immediately they could be the next Brees? For every ‘Brees’ there are a hundred small QBs out of college who never made it. Small quarterbacks in the NFL are the exception not the rule. Not saying a few inches means impossible to succeed, just they don’t get the opportunities, their stock falls, they do find it harder in the NFL with the monsters in the trenches, they end up back-ups to more physically-gifted QBs.

I completely agree with this. Brees does it with incredible passing accuracy .

Ryan Tannehill is probably the more prototypical ‘NFL’ QB prospect, and given his determination to rise thru depth chart adversity (persevering at WR and continuing to want/compete to become the starting QB), he has the intangibles.

I respect disagreement. Vick was pathetic at the Falcons. Reid has a history of making QBs look better than they are. Vick had a massive amount of talent around him that helped him (both phases of his game), but most of his good play was in the first half or two-thirds of the 2010 season. Since then right thru this season, Vick’s flaws as a QB have come to the fore.
Vince Young is by far a better QB than Vick.

For instance…
Vick has never been a good pocket climber. He doesn’t have good feel for it in terms of passing. He feels pressure and is great at escaping for a rush, or scrambling to the sidelines and making a throw, but climbing the pocket, stepping up into pressure, allowing a bubble to form around him, and coupled with his poor ability to go thru progressions, further exasperated when he has less-talented receivers….he is terrible.
His height plays a small but significant factor in that pocket climbing.

Coaches can correct his flaws. It’s just a matter of reading and progressions, looking off safeties, and getting the ball off quicker, mastering those subtle aspects of QB play.
I think it’s realistic to imagine him being drafted somewhere like the 3rd round (say), the 3rd stringer for a year or two, working on these aspects, the playbook, and seeing what happens with whomever the incumbent starting QB is on the team that drafts him.
A lot will depend too if he got drafted by the Saints behind Brees versus him getting drafted by the Colts behind Luck versus getting drafted by the Jaguars behind Gabbert.
Ricky Stanzi for instance, in my opinion also, was a tremendous prospect. He’s in a very good position in the next year or two to become the starting QB and possibly end up a star that no one (but me and you and some others) predicted.

Murray had a safety-valve with AJ Green too. Green so good he pretty much just locked on him, relied on him, dude a flat-out beast, which many college programs can get away with.
Murray in a Saints offense where they spread the ball around with a lot of package plays, could succeed like Brees, following in the same build mode.
Murray in a Falcons 2-1 offense where they rely so much on White and Gonzalez, he would struggle at the NFL level.
Compared to say Stanzi, who had impeccable pocket passing skills in college, and a bad OL, and less talented receivers, but was so skilled at reading and quickly going thru his progressions, looking off safeties, stepping up into pressure and delivering a pass.

According to many draft sites, he is considered a top 5 pick.

Remember, he may play 2 more years in college.
Another 20 starts in the SEC can’t hurt.
December 3rd, 2011 at 6:42 pm
Okay, well if the scouts/analysts have him rated that high, he could go in the first then. He could slide too (based on height + combine/pro day) after GMs and coaches do the work on all the QB prospects. I bet teams will be concerned about the height (if he is sub-6 foot) tho and that his height will be a talking point.
What about Case Keenum? Imo he’s another great prospect. Not sure what the scouts/analysts think of his draft stock.

This is a very important game for us. There’s a strong possibility that if we lose this game, we will be 7-7 by the time we play KC. That is not good. 8-6 is more manageable and would almost be a for sure playoff berth after beating KC and SD.
7-7 is a lot more dangerous, specially if Denver keeps the roll they are in. In other words, it wouldn’t be the end of the world to lose to GB and Det, if we beat Mia, but if we lose tomorrow, then we almost have to win one if not both of those games.
Tough next 3 games, and critical ones at the least. Let’s rally up, strap on the boots, and put on those boxing gloves tight, because we have a 3 week brawl coming up which we must come out on top from.
With that said, I do have a sense of peace in that I know we will be getting some of our key offensive players back in those weeks. And with CP3, for some reason, I have hope. He has erased any doubt I had about him. I believe we are now capable of keeping up offensively with most if not all teams.

JC’s injury, and getting Palmer, those two losses were expected in the end. Unfortunate, because normally we would’ve won those two games with JC. But yeah, with Palmer acclimating and mastering each week, we’ve quietly put up a 3 game winning streak. That’s unheard of for us for a decade. And that’s with this huge injury list as well, having to literally manufacture ways to win with the healthy players we have, the next man up thing Hue speaks of.
I’m confident the Raiders will beat the Packers, especially if we can get Ford, moore, dmac healthy. We’ll beat the Lions because the Lions are who we thought they were…lucky winning all those early games against bad teams who choked, let them come back and win from 20 down.

JC’s injury and bringing in 8 month hiatus Palmer to play immediately meant two losses JC would’ve gotten us.

The acts run the gamut of styles..lots of singer/songwriters and bands.. I played a solo acoustic guitar and sang of course.. played some Dylan, Randy Newman, Phish, couple of standards from the 30-40’s, Johnny Cash.. etc
December 3rd, 2011 at 8:28 pm
I kinda wish Hue would cool it with the fly patterns on 2nd and 2. Yeah, we’ve hit a couple but more times than not we’ve wound up punting. Let Bush, Reece and Boss win this game. Miami’s run D is good, but their pass D kinda sucks and can be had over the middle when those LB’s suck in to stop the run. Play action to the FB should work all day!!
Go Raiders!

Race has nothing to do with it. All you have to do is watch a few plays with our #2 MIKE, and all becomes clear why we need McClain to win.
December 3rd, 2011 at 8:33 pm
Bush and Reece screens, Reece motioned wide, Boss, Myers and Schilens over the middle… probably what we see again. Same as how we dealt with the Bears D, the same rough gameplan.

I think it would be hard for anyone to sit in the pocket when you’re one of the fastest guys on the field.
Don’t forget, when Vick takes off it’s not for 5 yards, it’s like 20+.
December 3rd, 2011 at 8:47 pm
I honestly believe that we will put up 30+ points on this team. I watched the NYG and Dallas vs Miami games and each of those games Eli and Romo looked almost disinterested or something. But whenever they needed it they jogged right down the field and scored. Will Allen is playing really good, so watch him tomorrow.
I look to see Palmer shredding this D and hopefully our D can do enough and keep the penalties down. Easy win.
December 3rd, 2011 at 8:53 pm
Rodn5yn…
Just discussing Vick as a passer, a pocket passer. Sure, he is great at sitting there and then bolting, or like a Houdini on an edge blitz, finding a way to evade and then run, or dance around then back and to the sideline to pass. But just sitting in the pocket and climbing, progressions, he has never been good at and never will. His height plays a part in that, stepping up inside a bubble of 6′4 to 6′9 monsters, why he is more likely to dance around looking for a sideways outlet to run or run-pass.
Whereas, Vince Young, who is also a dual-threat QB, but he has far more pure passing ability than Vick. Can play the pocket passer to a much higher standard. He’s just been rusty this season, plus his mindset has been immature or struggling (Titans). But he can come on.
If I were Eagles brass, I’d trade Vick for Palmer-like compensation, who would probably have to re-work his contract for a team giving away picks to be willing to trade. And I’d promote Young to #1 in 2012 and work on him.
December 3rd, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Vick and Young don’t play for the Raiders or the team we are playing this week so really who gives a sh!t about either one of them!

Please keep making this team the UNDERDOG,they love that role.No one is talking about the Raiders but if we can get those WMD’s healthy the AFC will have hell to pay in the 2nd season.

From Decatur Local….sorry Raider fans, but I suggest you take off your rose colored glasses and hope your coach or Goodell saves Rolando’s life. Living in Decatur, we the local community have pulled for and supported Rolando through Alabama & to Oakland. But also, 100% or so of the community fully believes what was reported because we know Rolando’s history. I would go watch him play high school football because you could tell he was gifted. But I also watched him play high school basketball with an ANKLE MONITOR. His co-defendant is always by his side. Know him as well. I sat a few rows from Rolando earlier this year at the local basketball competition between the 2 high schools, with Rolando wearing his sunglasses the whole time. Last night when the 2 teams played, the local school superintendent put out a public request that Rolando not attend due to the bad example it would set (Google it), without even knowing Rolando had already left for Miami to meet your team. When he was shot at earlier this year, while working out with some of the local police, we were talking about it, and they commented they weren’t surprised. He was sued here locally last year for hitting a fellow Alabama student with a car, twice, and then body slamming him. I even had Rolando sign a poster for my nephew this summer at an event he was sponsoring & he asked where I got it. Why is it 2x this year he has been home and gunfire has taken place. We have another couple of local players, Jerraud Powers, DB for the Colts, who is nothing but a shining example, and Philip Rivers, and you all know the trouble maker he is, when he’s not in church. The next incident Rolando gets in here, will probably get him killed. A guy 6’5, 255 lbs., known to carry a gun, threatens someone, they will shoot him first, and ask questions later, claim self-defense, and will get off. Sadly, the community here doesn’t want him to come back. His smiling pic while getting arrested says it all, “I am above the law”. Ya’ll can keep him.

December 3rd, 2011 at 9:56 pm
What does it take to win a SB in today’s NFL ?
It seems to me that the answer is surprisingly simple.
There are basically two ways to go.
The first is to have an elite QB and an offense that consistently puts up boatloads of points.
Teams that fit this description: GB, NE, NO.
The second is to have a dominant defense.
Teams that fit this description: Perhaps Baltimore.
I’d have to say that those 4 teams are generally regarded as most likely to land in the SB and possibly win it.
Then there’s the Steelers. They have BR, who is capable of taking over a game and a defense that can still dominate at times.
There’s the Whiners. They’ve shown flashes of defensive dominance, have an outstanding run blocking OL, but simply aren’t explosive enough.
That’s really about it. There are several other teams that are pretty good, but IMO are actually pretenders.
So where do the Raiders fit into this equation ?
I honestly don’t consider Palmer an elite QB, but with a full arsenal of weapons (DMAC, Ford, Moore) surrounding him, the Raids would be on the cusp of possessing an offense capable of propelling them to the SB.
The Raider defense needs work. At times, the DL appears to be quite a force, but it must be said that the defense lacks a dominating player in the Willis, Lewis, Reed, Polamalu mold.
This team is close. We should make the playoffs. If things break right, we can make a SB run. It’s not unfathomable.
It’s also possible that the entire thing could unravel and our lack of draft picks could diminish further progress.
Either way, I’m proud of the way things have finally turned around and that Sundays in December are meaningful again.
Wish Al was here to see it.
SMASH THE FINS.

December 4th, 2011 at 1:49 am
1: How many times has Al Davis turned over in his grave so far?
I’m pretty sure Mr. Davis is resting comfortably. Hue Jackson has kept the Davis spirit alive by making bold personnel moves, getting his men to play physical football and above all else he’s just winning, baby!
2: Is Carson Palmer regretting his trade demand yet now that three of his weapons are gone?
What makes Palmer’s arrival so vital is that he’s elevating all of the weapons on the Oakland roster. Each week a new player emerges thanks to Palmer getting more and more comfortable. Marcel Reece is the name that is finally popping up on the football radar. He’s a fullback unlike any other in the league that the Raiders will use in a multitude of ways. Sure, Carson would love to have Darren McFadden, Denarius Moore and Jacoby Ford healthy but he’s making the most of what he’s got. About the only regret Palmer might have is cutting his salary to make the trade work. Right about now he’s grossly underpaid when compared to the rest of the QBs in the AFC West.
3: The Raiders are one game up on The Broncos, how many are they up on Tim Tebow?
In the two times the Raiders have faced the Mile High Tebows they’ve split. Since Touchdown Jesus got the better of the Raiders last time around I’d have to say the Raiders are even with the Lord and Savior of football. Of course since it is a sin to beat Tebow that might not be a bad thing for those among the Raiders that want entrance into the pearly gates.
4: I liked your reality TV question…what show would the Raiders be?\
The Raiders would be the Amazing Race. This season has been one crazy obstacle after another. You never know what to expect every week and it is hard to keep up with all the plot lines going on in Oakland. Also, the Raiders are much better on the road than at home which leads you to believe their playoff chances would greatly improve if they were just constantly traveling all season long.
5: Kim Kardashian is now single, any chance Michael Bush uses his last name to move in on that?
Unfortunately for Michael Bush he’d have no chance at dating the world’s most famous homemade porn star. Kim K seems to only go for scrubs and underachievers. Bush has been far too productive in the absence of Darren McFadden to find his way into the Kardashian clan. Now if he somehow can get paid, slack off, demand a trade and then tease fans with a few amazing plays here and there he might pop up on the attention whore radar in the basement of the Kardashian castle.
6: Why are the Raiders not getting the respect that most division leaders are?
The Raiders are still not playing up to their full potential. Injuries have led to weekly uncertainty and inconsistency. Also, Oakland tends to be their own worst enemy.About all their other losses were marred by penalties, turnovers and critical mistakes. It is also damn near impossible to get respect when you’re only one game up on a team running a college offense and you are the only division leader that has been outscored on the season. Respect will come when the Raiders are playing focused football for an entire 60 minutes on Sunday. Until then the Rodney Dangerfield routine will be on a constant loop in the East Bay.

McClain should play if he’s able too.
However, a condition of his return SHOULD be that he doesn’t return to Alabama for at least 3 years.
He makes enough money to just move his family out of there. And guessing on the level of violence in that community, his family would be better off too.
I never understand how these guys, with the whole world at their disposal, want to do stupid stuff to end up living a prison lifestyle.
They really need to stop treating these kids as rockstars when they are in high school.
Perhaps the Southerners take high school football too seriously. Create a bunch of athletes with no concept of self-control or awareness.

I think if we can get that bye, does any team need a bye as badly as us with all of our knicks (?), we could seriously push for a SB berth.
A #3 or #4 seed, may just be to tough for this young team to roll through the playoffs.

I have to say, i’ve been pleasantly surprised with DHB and his confidence has been through the roof. I’ve been hard on the guy the past few years, so i’m glad he’s making plays. We need him in a big way today, would love to see him haul in a deep pass.
Which Lou Murph will we see today..The scared poor route runner or the big play ability he’s capable of. ie the Pitt game and college years.
Also, which D will show up? They have been playing good enough to stop final minute drives for some wins, but would love to see a solid performance. Props to Curry, he’s been all over the field!
Living in FL, i see the 3 FL teams play a lot of games. Miami shouldn’t be taken lightly, they’ve been decent, they’re record just doesn’t match.
We need to watch Bush in the flats, and also keep track of Marshall. Either of those 2 could have a great game.
We win a close one… 8-4 baby!
Raiders 24
Fins 17
December 4th, 2011 at 6:21 am
I think we might get 7 sacks today.
Moore acts like he is mobile and takes off sometimes, only to realize he might be the worst athlete on the field within 2 strides.
Pretty slow release as well.
He is going to be beat to hell today.

I love the sht DHB is talking after the catch…He’s gotta keep producing or the talk means nothing.
I also love the fact that those LB’rs have to take account for Bush, Boss and Reece. Just too many weapons for Miami to handle. I’d love to see some more screens this week.
December 4th, 2011 at 6:46 am
Don’t forget Myers.
He has been just as productive as Boss, is a better blocker, and costs about 1/5th the price.

December 4th, 2011 at 6:52 am
My bad, Myers get’s overlooked.
That diving catch he had was insane! I had to double check to see if that was really Myers making that grab.
Double tight end sets and pound em to a pulp! Hue/Saunders must have endless amounts of ideas each week for a game plan. He’s in a great situation with the talent we have. The wr depth is beautiful after so many years without.
December 4th, 2011 at 6:54 am
Our WR depth is good, but we have a bunch of decent to good WR’s.
We are still missing that guy that defenses have to roll coverage and game-plan for, week in and week out.
They are young, and one may emerge, but Ford might be the toughest to gameplan for, but not so much when he is in sweats for half the year.
December 4th, 2011 at 7:00 am
We need Ford in the game next week for sure, we need the speed at wide out to make up for GB’s quick pass rush. Mathews is going to be a nightmare to block. I just hope Woodson has one bad game (against us), then back to All Pro mode.
December 4th, 2011 at 7:05 am
If we can win this weekend, that game next week will be banana’s.
Most important Raiders regular season game in how long? Maybe since the Denver MNF game in 2002 when we were 4-4?
And I will be in Vegas for it!!!!
December 4th, 2011 at 7:10 am
EVERY Week is the most important game of the year at this point…
CODE BLACK!
December 4th, 2011 at 7:12 am
Wonder how CJ37 is going to impact the secondary rotation?
December 4th, 2011 at 7:19 am
CJ37 should be our nickle guy, IMO.
Lito should still start.
Might mean less minutes for one of our safeties, probably Missile-missing Mike.
December 4th, 2011 at 7:21 am
So my wife works with these two Raider fans that she invited over for a nice man-date.
If we lose today, they will never step foot in my house again.
December 4th, 2011 at 7:23 am
We’re on the same page with relegating MM34 to STs.
CJ37 should allow Branch and Huff to stay at S instead of playing some nickle and dime CB.
Gio is better than MM34.
December 4th, 2011 at 7:25 am
So we are battling Houston and Baltimore for a bye, eh?
December 4th, 2011 at 7:26 am
MM34’s whiff (is there a worse word than whiff???) on the Knox kick-return was maddening.
Not as much as he missed the tackle, because Knox is a good player and returner.
Again, with MM34, it is how bad he looks in space. He was right next to him and Knox makes one move and Mitchell doesn’t get a fingernail on him and looks like he was in cement.
Dude is awful in space!!!
December 4th, 2011 at 7:28 am
And we have the tie-breaker over Houston.
Baltimore is tough, because they got a one game lead on us, and are undefeated in their division currently, and we have 2 losses, for tie-breaking purposes.
But they have lost some ridiculous games (Sea, Jax) so not too unrealistic to see them lose some random game down the stretch.
December 4th, 2011 at 7:30 am
Next two games on MNF are San Diego-Jax, than St. Louis at Seattle, lol.
Guess Monday has been freed up for a few weeks.
December 4th, 2011 at 7:30 am
Every game, JFB.
Against Tebow.
Against Ponder.
It’s ridiculous!!!
December 4th, 2011 at 7:32 am
Like you say, he’s right there and just runs himself outta the play.
There was a punt return that Lou Murphy got blasted by the semi’s for his effort. I forget who returned that punt, but I thought MM34’s effort was just as ridiculous.
December 4th, 2011 at 7:35 am
I guess I hoped Mitchell was playing hurt.
December 4th, 2011 at 7:36 am
Sad thing is, Lou Murph is still covering punts.
He was in on the 80 yarder and the last punt of the game that nailed them inside the 5.
Got to think that we can sprinkle in Branch at gunner occasionally when it really, really is important.
Now that is what a cover-man is supposed to look like!!
December 4th, 2011 at 7:42 am
Someone is going to have to post the inactives.
The semi’s always got in a good 10-15 minutes ahead of the “Pro’s”
December 4th, 2011 at 7:50 am
Good Morning Raider Nation!!
December 4th, 2011 at 7:53 am
Monte Poole is right on the money.
McClain needs to sit and be suspended. HueJax needs to put some meat to his words. Otherwise, we’re getting the SOS with this “remorseful” fool.
That’s right, just apologize and move on. That attitude will never change anything.
Again, this sort of distraction is toxic for any team, let alone one like the Raiders that seems to always have trouble on its tail. Got to make the change.
A couple of weeks ago I thought the Raiders could struggle but win against the fins, now after this week’s BS, I worry and can easily see the Raiders losing focus. Hopefully, they’ll have enough talent to overcome, all they need to do is play and coach up to their potential and can overcome. This is a must win, because the next two games will be tough enough.
December 4th, 2011 at 7:56 am
When thinking of ‘Elite’ at the QB position, how many are allowed to be in that category?
My list of ‘Elite’ right now, at this moment is;
-Brees
-Brady
-Rivers (elite but not playing like it)
-Roethlisberger
-Eli Manning
-Rodgers
“fringe” elite:
-Romo
-Cutler
-Palmer
“Elite” in this instance is subjective not based on stats necessarily but more on media/public perception/opinion.
December 4th, 2011 at 7:59 am
Suspending a player for legal issues that have not been resolved is something no NFL team has done or been doing.
Terrible sign to your team and future FA’s, IMO.
I can just see the Raiders suspending him without pay, the NFLPA appealing, all charges get dropped, and McClain and his agent suing the Raiders for lost wages.
Deal with it in the offseason.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:01 am
Elite QB’s:
Rodgers
Brady
Brees
Big Ben
Fringe:
Eli
Matt Ryan
Carson Palmer
Jay Cutler
Romo
December 4th, 2011 at 8:03 am
Very excited about the game today….
December 4th, 2011 at 8:04 am
Monte Poole is the quinessential overreactor.
Don’t listen to him when it comes to current events, he will always be on the extreme side of things.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:05 am
I will be wearing my white #55 jersey today.
I got your back Rolando!!!!
December 4th, 2011 at 8:08 am
I mean seriously, what is a southern funeral in the hood without a little gun-play?
December 4th, 2011 at 8:14 am
I’m still trying to figure out how pointing a gun at a person’s head then firing off next to their head is a misdemeanor. I work with law enforcement everyday and in this state that would be assault with a deadly weapon. Something isnt right with the storey coming from this dude.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:14 am
Rolando should never step foot in Alabama again until he turns 30.
It amazes me how these guys, even with the money and a clear path to success in front of them, STILL find ways to end up in prison.
Whether he’s guilty or not, the guy has to stop going back to a place that is obviously inhospitable to his well-being
December 4th, 2011 at 8:14 am
Monte is dead on. McClain is a nutcase.
Running off the rails on the crazy train…
December 4th, 2011 at 8:14 am
Raiiiiiddddeeeerrrrsssssss ….. Beat the Guppys……
The Raiders Must be at 8 & 4 this afternoon
Raiders 27…… Guppys….17…
Just Win!!!… Just destroy!!!
December 4th, 2011 at 8:15 am
Raiders will need to bring someone in next year as a solid backup MLB.
It is not beyond this kid to leave his team hanging.
Also, he was in Alabama to attend a funeral….not hang out with his buddies.
Attend to your family and then come back. It was not time off.

============================================
Only because we as a society tolerate this foolishness
December 4th, 2011 at 8:17 am
Can’t be assault with deadly weapon if nobody is hit.
It is either attempted murder or unlawful use of a firearm. Crazy that unlawful use of a firearm is a misdeamenor in Alabama, but the age of consent in ‘Bama is 16, so that’s just the lay of the land apparently.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:20 am
Is there an “issue” with Raiders training staff or something? Are our players being held out with injuries that other teams players would normally just suck it up and play? It just seems anytime one of our guys gets up after a play with a slight limp or something they are out indefinitely.
Seems like the “Chaz” syndrome is going on with every key player we have.
I wonder now if we will ever see DMAC play this year.
He was supposed to be back after resting during the bye and here we are…waiting…waiting…waiting.
How bad really is this DMAC injury. Did he have his foot amputated?
Why haven’t they just IR’d him yet?
Frustrating cuz i’m getting the feeling that Bush is starting to slow down and this big workload and the hits starting to get to him. As eveidenced by last weeks performance.
We can’t win with 2 yds. a carry from Bush and Carson throwing to guys he can’t get on the same page with.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:21 am
Whether we win or lose, it won’t be because of what happened in Decatur this week.
TK came on here and said he listens to Jeezy before every game on his headphones.
How can you listen to that dude talk about killing people and selling crack before every game, and that get butt-hurt and distracted when a teammate is out thugging it up?
These players don’t care, as long as he comes to play.
If he isn’t, than that is a different story, but I suspect Rolando may be more focused than ever.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:22 am
Brandishing a firearm in VA is a felony and a automatic 5 years.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:27 am
PFT is reporting, per a league source, Rolando will play.
I said from the beginning, I think Hue makes him sit out the first series.
That will be his entire punishment for this season, until this thing plays out in the courts.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:28 am
Marcel Reece or DeAngelo Williams??
FFL….and its for the the playoffs, if I lose today I’m @$$ed out of a “G”!
December 4th, 2011 at 8:28 am
The fact that he threatened him with the gun to his head is assault. Had he contacted him with the gun or struck him with it…it would be battery with a deadly weapon. A lot goes into the perception of the victim. Did he really feel like his life was in danger. By him stating he ask Ro not to kill him would go a long way toward the severity of his charges.
I think he may have fired the gun to run the guy off. But I don’t think it was next to his head or even near the guy. By his charges I just can’t imagine there being much truth in that guys story.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:29 am
Von Miller inactive for Denver!!!!!!!!
Vikes all day!!!
December 4th, 2011 at 8:30 am
Deangelo.
He bagged two TD’s last week and is the goalline runner.
I am starting him today, but I already clinched the bye in Dell’s league, and than have the bye next week.
2 weeks of no FF!!
December 4th, 2011 at 8:31 am
Brandon Merriweather had a shootout in the streets of Florida, but since the gun was registered to him and he didn’t hit anybody, he didn’t face a single charge, lol.
Not even a misdeamenor, a ticket, nothing.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:34 am
Thats nuts. I look at guys all day locked up for gun charges that did less then what this guys says Ro did.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:35 am
This is kind of funny. Rolando photoshopped with NWA
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a78/nursetpd/Alabama/McClain_NWA.jpg
December 4th, 2011 at 8:36 am
I cant speculate anymore about what McClain did …. After today’s game I may give it somemore thought…. It’s outta our hands anyway … Today I just want to put every ounce of positive energy I can muster up and send it to our team….
I’m Sure Hue will do what’s best for the Raiders…
December 4th, 2011 at 8:37 am
Thanks Vegas!
We’ll see what happens…going to Aliante Station right now!!
Catch y’all later!
December 4th, 2011 at 8:38 am
Just Win!!!
December 4th, 2011 at 8:39 am
I guess each state has it’s own area of leniency.
Here in New Mexico, you can get like 5 DUI’s and kill someone, and still only do a few years and get your licenses back.
One guy recently did 18 months for vehicular manslaughter, got out and did it again.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:39 am
If the Raiders win today, I’m going to get HAMMERED drunk! Victory shots, full-on celebration Frank The Tank style.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:40 am
Brandishing a firearm in TX is required to get your driver’s permit.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:42 am
Sheesh… Can the Nfl channel manage to go 2 minutes without any Tebow worship ….don’t know about anybody else but I’m sick to death of the Timmy hype….
December 4th, 2011 at 8:44 am

Tebow moves the meter, so the talk about him will continue, even if they lost the next 2 weeks.
I heard on ESPN radio this week, that the Bronco’s game against the Dolts had more on-line downloads of the live stream, than every other game COMBINED.
The media can’t and won’t ignore that.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:45 am
What was the spread in the Bills game?
Suprised that we covered that.
December 4th, 2011 at 8:48 am

Check this out. The following is from someone from Alabama, who commented on csn.com. I think it’s time to call Lofa.
From Decatur local.Sorry Raider fans, but I suggest you take off your rose colored glasses and hope your coach or Goodell saves Rolando’s life. Living in Decatur, we the local community have pulled for and supported Rolando through Alabama & to Oakland. But also, 100% or so of the community fully believes what was reported because we know Rolando’s history. I would go watch him play high school football because you could tell he was gifted. But I also watched him play high school basketball with an ANKLE MONITOR. His co-defendant is always by his side. Know him as well. I sat a few rows from Rolando earlier this year at the local basketball competition between the 2 high schools, with Rolando wearing his sunglasses the whole time. Last night when the 2 teams played, the local school superintendent put out a public request that Rolando not attend due to the bad example it would set (Google it), without even knowing Rolando had already left for Miami to meet your team. When he was shot at earlier this year, while working out with some of the local police, we were talking about it, and they commented they weren’t surprised. He was sued here locally last year for hitting a fellow Alabama student with a car, twice, and then body slamming him. I even had Rolando sign a poster for my nephew this summer at an event he was sponsoring & he asked where I got it. Why is it 2x this year he has been home and gunfire has taken place. We have another local player his age, Jerraud Powers, DB for the Colts, who is nothing but a shining example. The next incident Rolando gets in here, will probably get him killed. A guy 6′5, 255 lbs., known to carry a gun, threatens someone, they will shoot him first, and ask questions later, claim self-defense, and will get off. Sadly, the community here doesn’t want him to come back. His smiling pic while getting arrested says it all, “I am above the law”. Ya’ll can keep him.
December 4th, 2011 at 9:07 am
I saw that last night. Man, Rolando playing hoops with a ankle monitor. Too funny. Maybe Hue should make him wear one so we know where he disappears to on the field.
December 4th, 2011 at 10:03 am
I hope this man from Decatur is not a relative of the judge.
Whether guilty or not, McClain needs to sit. No need for distractions. Enough is enough.
