WR coach first to go from Raiders staff
By Steve Corkran
Friday, January 13th, 2012 at 3:13 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The New York Jets hired Sanjay Lal to be their wide receivers coach, according to a report from NewYorkJets.com. Lal held that position with the Raiders the past five seasons.
Lal was well liked by the receivers he coached during his tenure in Oakland. He is credited with getting up to speed Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore right away, as well as for the breakout season enjoyed by Darrius Heyward-Bey this season after two subpar seasons.
Lal, 42, could not be reached for comment. Interestingly, he still is listed on the Raiders website.

Good work Sanjay!!!
Will be missed more than Hue Jackson.

January 13th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
This also means Reggie’s holding true to his word that the new HC gets to pick his staff.
Otherwise, he could have denied the Jets permission to even talk to Lal.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
Thank god he is gone. Being hired by Rex and the Jets doesn’t me he was great.
You People are too funny.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
Dakota will be crushed!
January 13th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
HHHmmm….Does that mean the Jets are getting new receivers? Plaxico and Holmes gone?
January 13th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
Sajay’s contract was probably up, could not wait for a Head Coach to be hired here who may or may not have wanted him back.
Good luck Sanjay Lal.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:22 pm
Al handed Sanjay, a raw DHB and mid round talents like Moore and Ford, with awful vets like Yvonne Walker and Ashley Lelie, and 3 years later, this unit is amazingly the strength of our team.
Sanjay = stud

The Jets can have that curry eating dot head.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
For those who didn’t know…Mark Davis and Cliff Branch are thick as thieves…they are close friends….Cliff was Mark’s patna when they would super party in the 80s. And 90s….that’s a fact
January 13th, 2012 at 3:25 pm
The strength of our team has been our running backs & OL, and our WRs play was avg at best.

I was talking about how he does his business is similar to how his father used to operate so far.
…………
OMG, are you insane?
Right off the bat Mark hires a GM, who himself will acquire and release all players at his choosing and appoint a head coach, who himself will hire his own staff, who themselves will build their own game plans and schemes.
That’s running a business just like Al?
Al made all personnel decisions sans maybe offensive assistants, and undoubtedly ran the defense.
You are clearly in denial, Mistic. I really don’t think it’s hit you yet.
================
sully try to remove your hate for everything al davis for a moment, i will lay out exactly what i see that makes jr, much like dear old dad.
1.)he likes former raiders working in the organization, i dont need to name them all, but big mack is the latest addition in this category
2.)he has a small inner circle of raiders that he relies on for input. See madden and ken herock and ron wolf who recommended big mack
3.) he like to hire first time guys into important post within the organization,regardless of skin color or gender big mack fits this category, and our new hc if its moss also fits
4.) he is quick to pull the trigger and fire coaches if he doesnt believe in him, ask hu jack, mike white joe bugel and lane kiffin
5.) he stays in the background giving the coach enough rope to hang himself, just like sr. gave cable the silent treatment before he axed him
6.)he believes in height weight speed, part of why big mack was brought in because he can evaluate talent according to the davis / wolf philosophy
If you disagree with what i say here dont take my word for it, scroll through the interviews of big mack davis jr and madden over the last few days where all of these topics are clearly and directly addressed.
sorry sully, the shadow of AL DAVIS LOOMS LARGE AND YOU CANT ESCAPE IT
January 13th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
How about Steve Mariucci?.
I mean, if we’re looking at Dom Capers, why not Mariucci, he was a much better Head Coach than Dom.
He’s still young, he must want another shot at it, right?.
a).- David Shaw, up and coming, won’t be available for long, gotta get these guys young, before they turn into a huge thing and get gobbled up by the big money teams.
b).- Steve Mariucci, was a better HC than some of the names being thrown around.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
Lal = Below Avg WRs Coach
January 13th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
And tea and crumpets EnglandRaider….stupid place to play baseball? A’s four world titles and the last true dynasty in all of sports happened there….so ease up on that….Aks don’t need to go to SJ but they will prolly…why u think Bart just approved expanding to SJ? Its for the Aks…sharks and Niner games….fact
January 13th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
Bob…no to 49ers…get it got it…good!
January 13th, 2012 at 3:30 pm
True dynsasty?
Not disagreeing, just curious as what defines a “true” dynasty.
I would think the Bulls, Patriots and Yankee’s disagree, although the Yankee’s was done without a salary cap.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Steve Mariucci is another chump no nutsack having coach….he not a leader of men…u can’t bring in a pxssy to do this job…won’t ever work…fk all 49ers
January 13th, 2012 at 3:33 pm
Bob…no to 49ers…get it got it…good!

===
That was true only up to the point when the Raiders traded for their first real passing threat at QB in a decade during the mid-season. Palmer was on pace for about a 4K+ yard season. Factor that into a whole season and at least one WR in silver in black is sporting the title “1000 yard receiver”.
Put another way, when JaWalrus is slinging the ball or Capt. Checkdown Campbell is throwing it away, it’d be hard to even make a corp of Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald look like good WRs.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
None of our WRs had 1000 yards receiving!
No one has 70+ catches!!!
Ford and Miore have less than 70 catches combined!!!
That’s our strength?!?!
Stop it dude!!!!
January 13th, 2012 at 3:36 pm
DHB: 64 catches
Moore: 33 Catches
Ford: 19 catches
That’s not our strength!!!!
I’m glad that fool is gone!
January 13th, 2012 at 3:36 pm
At the end of the year, noposition was producing as well and was as deep as our WR unit.
Bush was hanging on by a thread, our RT play was misery all year, and even our stud LT had a zillion penalties.
WR unit = strength
January 13th, 2012 at 3:36 pm
Keeping AL saunders has become essential and I see most bloggers agree we need to keep the continuity going at least on O. As far as head coach whether its O or D minded coach he needs to be a motivator a leader of men which some say about Moss. We can’t hire a plain jane coach players today don’t respond well to those type(Norv,Wade Phillips). I believe we had that with Hue people might have not like what he said at final presser but it was the truth and IMO the players needed to hear it and needed it said PUBLICLY so they could feel embarrassed in front of world like us fans were. U know how much schit I had to hear from 9er fans about us being 7-4 and not make the playoffs while they glide in. Embarrassing.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:37 pm
BULLS don’t count with stern riggin the nba for MJ in the 9@s…and don’t forget the 9@s was worse era of hoop ever….yankees bought world series 98 to 00…not real as we know how fked up MLB is…Pats won 3 straight? Next…..Oakland is small market…true dynasty true innovative schit…its Oakland what do ya expect?

DHB is developing slowly.
Ford didn’t improve his #s, and he wasn’t injured the entire season.
Moore has 33 catches.
We could have done much better.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
Heard Reggie said he is home? Maricucci was head coach..one of leaders of the AIDS reserach team

January 13th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
I liked the 49ers back in the day.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:42 pm
And the 9er squad is inferior to this raider team as constructed now 9ers just have a better gameplane on D
January 13th, 2012 at 3:42 pm

Peter King of NBC and Sports Illustrated reports that Williams is “expected” to join Jeff Fisher in St. Louis next season. Williams ran the defense under Fisher with the Titans from 1997 to 2000 before leaving to become head coach of the Bills. He was a defensive assistant under Fisher and Jack Pardee with the franchise before moving up to defensive coordinator.

Our offense as a whole is our strength only guys who need to go are Barnes Satele and maybe #66 we also need to see if Bruce Campbell can play. Basicly O line needs improvement except lil Wiz an Jared.

Damn those loose lips!!!
January 13th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
Ford was partying hard nite before sd game…EastOakland…he gotta guy and he wouldn’t play hurt like dmac…both can leave…I want winners
January 13th, 2012 at 3:56 pm
Why is Jeff Fisher a hot commodity. Is it his many Super Bowl wins, I don’t understand owners today.

Carlisle will be back for one more year and probably retire than.
He may not be great, but he is consistant and doesn’t do stupid shat.
Played every offensive snap last year. Got to be worth something.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:57 pm
Wow boss01 you are racist too. Nice.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:58 pm
Poor planning on Raiders part. This is where even a couple of days make a huge difference. Even the Raiders acknowledged that McKenzie was coming almost a week before the press conference. He should have fired Hue then (even though I think Hue shouldn’t of been fired at all), that way we would of been able to interview anyone on the GB staff, have an unofficial agreement in place and start getting our coaching staff together. I unfortunately have serious doubts about the next couple of years. The team appears to be in shambles, anyone and everyone seems possible for a trade, concrete plan in place. By the time we do hire someone if GB makes the playoffs, we will have everyone’s sloppy seconds and cast offs. That’s how we ended up with Bresnehan last year.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:58 pm
Fisher can do it all. Coach, salary cap, scouting, etc…
January 13th, 2012 at 3:59 pm
Ford and Thec tied to the hip. B, he is young guy, will give him one more chance, can’t blame him for partying, just don’t tweet about it.
He was injured and his last game it showed, no explosion.
B, you young guys, think you could do it all, party, and play the next day, it’s called YOUTH.
January 13th, 2012 at 3:59 pm

That’s how we ended up with Bresnehan last year.
===========================================
No, we ended up with Bresnahan because very few qualified DC candidates wanted Al as their de facto co-coordinator. Who wants to be called on the sidelines and yelled at every time a blitz doesn’t work?
With the new freedom that Reggie’s coaching staff will enjoy, lots of good DC’s will want to come here.
January 13th, 2012 at 4:02 pm
Ever wonder why our blazing fast receivers tend to get open a lot less than those of opposing teams, even though they’re not as fast?

Ford will be dangled draft day.
McKenzie won’t dump him just to dump him, but if we can package a 5th and Ford for a 2nd or very early 3rd, I am on that.

Method everyone parties C wood an charlie garner were always at jacklondon. Ray lewis parties and plaxico burress. All I’m say is Ford is a dam good young talent and if u didn’t want him cut last(when he was partying) u shouldn’t want him cut now and I doubt u wanted him cut last year.

B,
Your opinion always welcome, no sorry to me. I just think sometimes young guys forget their in a profession. Football to them has been in their teen years, college years and probably functioned well no matter how late they stayed out in the past.
It’s youthful playing and when they get older and they see this as a business, their attitude changes.

Method u will see next year when the offense is at full strength with ford moore DHB and palmer(I know no playoff wins u hate him)and Dmac and of course we keep Al saunders we will have one of the best offenses of any raider era you heard I hear first pimp.

Lal = Below Avg WRs Coach
————————–
Agree. Although we gave him a ton of experience teaching young guys. We improved him more than he improved us.
January 13th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
Sanjay Lal–from the frying pan into the fire.
He’s got a low profile job, but working for the Jets in that toxic zoo will be no picnic.
Talk about Rex Ryan losing the locker room…the owner needs to seek out those tweeters and get rid of them, and he needs to fire Ryan as well.
I just hope if anyone there gets booted that we don’t pick him up.
January 13th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
If Rex was getting fired he would have already. He has been to the AFC Championship 2 out of his 3 years as a head coach… He is safe

oh yeah, Sanjay Lal…
another team actually hired him?
the sky is falling, the sky is falling!!!!!!!
January 13th, 2012 at 5:11 pm
DHB in his third year was still making fundamental mistakes. Catching with his body instead of his hands. Jumping for balls when he didn’t have to. We’ve all heard what a great work ethic the kid has, so how much of that is on the coach?

The more I read about the large egos that inhabit the NFL and their pronouncements, the happier I become.
I believe the Raiders have made a solid choice in McKenzie, he is an iron worker, he gets up early, rolls up his sleeves and does his job. Mark Davis has no track record but so far he is doing well. I don’t know how long it’s going to take to become an elite franchise, but I am certain that we are on our way.

I remember being banned while beefing with KK. That must have been back in ‘08, ahh fond memories.
January 13th, 2012 at 5:27 pm
Every time I look at it I’m still not so happy with letting Hue go. I’m thinking for now though I’ll try to hold out judgement and the press conference and give McKenzie the benefit of the doubt.
Let’s see who he pulls in. I hope it’s not Moss or someone like that though. I don’t like people going from position coaches to Head Coaches. If they’re that talented and bright they’d jump right up to coordinator quickly…like Gruden did etc. He jumped quickly up to QB coach to Offensive Coordinator etc. and made progress in teh production of each area he was working in (just an example…not that I’m saying take him back now).
Moss’s defense and area he’s in charge of is VASTLY under performing. You don’t promote based on bad production…just not good to do.
The Greenbay Offense, fine. If the O’Coordinator really deserves a promotion to HC then okay. But, if we don’t get improvement and make the playoffs next year it’s a BIG step back, because i’m 98% sure that with Hue back and a new D-Coordinator we get at least to 10-6 next year and in the playoffs. Minimum.
January 13th, 2012 at 5:29 pm
“DHB in his third year was still making fundamental mistakes. Catching with his body instead of his hands. Jumping for balls when he didn’t have to. We’ve all heard what a great work ethic the kid has, so how much of that is on the coach?”
I doubt seriously that this is the fault of Lal or any coach. Much as I love DHB’s work ethic and appreciate that it has had results, we all know that his hand-eye co-ordination for an NFL receiver is very poor, even now.
There was one Palmer pass in the last game that he had to reach up for only slightly but the camera caught that he turned his hands the wrong way to snag the pass. Those things are instinctive. You either have that instinct or you don’t, esp. under pressure, and this was a pressure pass.
In that same last game, he also caught a ball over the middle in his midsection by hopping up so that it would land in his midsection; one could actually say that he caught it “with his midsection”. The ball was chest level had he not jumped, and it’s clear he still doesn’t trust himself to use his hands to catch anything, esp. with a defender close by.
He also can’t catch balls thrown over his head on fly patterns –he reaches for the ball with his hands splayed apart. That one really has me baffled.
What he does in practice might actually be okay, but under the pressure of a real game, he reverts to form.
Perhaps Reggie lets him go; on the other hand, perhaps not because he IS the kind of guy Reggie says he wants on this team.
I would be surprised if this ever really gets too much better, but I would like to be surprised. Something tells me, though, that one way or the other, DHB

============================================
Yeah, I guess on that note he did reap what he sowed. But I always want to base it on the production. You could be a blind idiot and still see if we had a d-coordinator who Hue chose that was creative with personnel (and he showed he could get a good coordinator with Al Saunders on “O”) then we would definitely be in the playoffs.
January 13th, 2012 at 5:36 pm
I say trade Seymour for anything we can get.
January 13th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
What up Raider fans and others, including the rampant Sockpuppet Army!
Interesting things are coming up I think. I read earlier that Lal is gone and Cliff Branch could be his replacement.. IMO Cliff Branch= 100% Raider! And a continuation of the Davis family giving opportunity to storied ex-players.
January 13th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
I think hues three biggest mistakes were as follows;
1.. losing to SD.
2.. promising the world playoffs with Palmer trade..
3… firing coaches without the permission of the owner.
Hue really thought the team was his…LOL.. who ever crowned him king?? Had he done Things different. . He still might be here.. I expect he learned a tough lesson… his ego really was outta control… and I actually wanted him to Come back for atleast one more season too.. oh well!!

Nobody knows if HJ would have brought in a good DC or not.Saying he showed he could get a good coordinator because of Sanders shows you are forgetting one thing-he didn’t hire his assistants,Davis did.The only thing we really know about HJ is when he needed to only win 2 of his final 5 games to win the division,he couldn’t do it.He failed.

You’re not the only one. Obviously, Bowles wasn’t an “OMG! WE’VE GOTTA HIRE HIM NOW!” interview, so it looks like Big Mack will want to interview Moss as well. Sooner GB is done, sooner he can get to interviewing people and get this show on the road.
January 13th, 2012 at 5:47 pm
Que…LOL .. there’s a lot of packers fans at work livid over all the talk about coaches moving to Oakland. .. the packer coaches look to be more focused on the Raiders open coaching positions than the giants… I bet Ted Thompson regrets giving the greenlight for Reggie to take that interview with the Raiders now…
January 13th, 2012 at 5:50 pm
Que, when I realized that McKenzie was probably going to be our GM, I started researching the Packers. I liked everything about them, classy compared to the Raiders. But yes, if they lose it moves us along. I still will root for them against NY.
January 13th, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Hell im even dying for the season just to watch what and how reggie gets players in here. Its so fun now , I ve waited like many here to finally get to that GM and have a organization. Go raiders forever.

Al normally let the Head Coach choose his Offensive Coordinators and offensive position coaches. I truely believe that. Obviously he chose Hue last year, but aside from that it seemed like it at least.
January 13th, 2012 at 6:11 pm
did we get any draft picks for Lal, like we did for Chucky?

January 13th, 2012 at 7:21 pm
Guys I have actually kept quiet while all this was going down some thoughts if you care to read:
Hue as I stated many times got his ego out of control after Mr. Davis passed away, it was obvious i am sorry a coach can’t let himself become a media horde.
After the Palmer trade the obnoxious statement the greatest trade in football was insane
The media asking when Palmer would play was ridiculous and Hue playing that up
More importantly Hue was great as an OC and he was in way over his head as a head coach, I also stated many times that because of those responbilities he should have let Saunders call plays.
I know I am after the fact but being a Raider fan and watching from afar I could not help but see these things they were as clear as day.
I am also embarrassed by some bloggers here tearing down our new GM, in regards to his introduction. One thing I know is McKenzie will get this ship righted, and i am excited about the future.
I am also dying to see a monster defense and old school like the Steelers.

Perry Fewell
He is the current DC for the NY Giants. He has served as DC on a few team and they have always done well statistically.
He also served as interim HC for the Bills to finish out 2009 season. He was 3-4 as a head coach.
He has been with the Giants since then.
Hope he is on Reggie’s radar.

That’s because that person has been canned, too!

i like that madden is involved. i willing to give Reggie a chance, just hope finds a defensive minded HC who keeps al saunders around. whats amazing is in spite of how bad the defense was, if Hue kicks a fg on 4th and 1, or doesnt call for a bomb on 3rd and 3 , the raiders are in the playoffs and Hue is probably hc.

Billick would be great he is a strict disciplinarian the penalties would go away.
He ran that explosive offense Minnesota had during Moss rookie year then ran that Ravens Defense.
I would at least interview him if I were Reggie
January 13th, 2012 at 10:14 pm
If we go veteran, we better get someone proven, Billick, Gruden, etc.
I would prefer new defensive HC, like Moss, and really do things differently around here.
No frickin, old retreads…..

Never had the pleasure of being up in Northern Cal. but have a cousin from there near Fremont(?), and he said if I wanted an accurate idea of what the “scene” is like to watch the movie “Mask” (with Cher). He said that movie totally captures the vibe of the area he comes from.
He said everybody is fairly laid back in the more blue collar type of areas like that.
I’m hoping I can catch a Raider game out there soon before I get too old (lol) and see the area for myself.

I mean, if we’re looking at Dom Capers, why not Mariucci, he was a much better Head Coach than Dom.
He’s still young, he must want another shot at it, right?.
a).- David Shaw, up and coming, won’t be available for long, gotta get these guys young, before they turn into a huge thing and get gobbled up by the big money teams.
b).- Steve Mariucci, was a better HC than some of the names being thrown around.

Didn’t like his attitude when commenting the raiders (esp. on monday night against the chargers).

What about Wade Philipps? Heard he draw himself
out of the HC race in tampa bay, but that doesn’t have
to mean he doesn’t want to be a HC at all.
His younger OC or DC could be HC some years down the stretch.
January 14th, 2012 at 5:02 am
I could see Wade as our DC too… .. The guy knows Defense .. And that where we were bleeding the most last year…( last decade)..

January 14th, 2012 at 5:16 am
I don’t see him leaving the strong texans for just another DC spot. And he is still under contract, i guess.
But few weeks ago he said, that he ’should be considered a HC option’. Maybe it’s more about respect than about pressing for a new job, but who knows.
Most of his seasons as HC were winning ones, he lacks a winning history in postseason though.
Maybe he could have success like john fox, replacing
a rookie hc.
January 14th, 2012 at 5:18 am
Yep…Phillips is committed to the Texans ..
January 14th, 2012 at 5:42 am
As much as i hate the pats i cant stand to see teblow winning so i want the pats to destroy the donkeys. Tom Brady will not keep the game close. So what if the pats D suck. The broncos secondary is weak, expect brady to torch them. I just dont want teblow to win if it wasnt for our sorry ass defense(thanks chuck “bullsh’t” bresnahan) and that 99 yard drive (thanks lito for having floyd make you his b!tc# and the front for letting tolber have that huge run) then there would be no teblow nothing. We created that bs -__-
January 14th, 2012 at 6:01 am
Right now teams to root for are thin. I think the texans with their injuries and the rookie qb deserve some help,
ravens over pats.
nfc full of recent sb winners, kind of boring. and sf as a local rival shouldn’t win it all before we do.
texans / ravens vs whoever would be an interesting sb.

If the packers lose, we don’t have to wait for these interviews and more potential staff members are still available for the new hc.
If they make it to the sb, other options could get a more intense consideration.

===============================================
He ripped on Oakland right after the Nnamdi deal, basically saying that other DB agents were trying to get similar deals for their clients, but Nnamdi’s contract shouldn’t count, because it was given by the Raiders who aren’t a sanely run team. It was less Raider-bashing and more Al-bashing.
More to the point: Who would even WANT Brian Billick as a coach? He’s supposed to be this “offensive guru,” yet every single one of his Ravens teams had a terrible offense. The Super Bowl win was because of Marvin Lewis’ awesome defense, NOT because of anything Billick did.
January 14th, 2012 at 6:54 am
If you look at GB now, they have their ONE really strong area and then just average almost no-name guys everywhere else for the most part.
The passing game with Rodgers and Jennings, Jordy Nelson, Jones and Jer. Finley is where it’s at. Whoever heard of James Starks? But he’s an example of an eye for talent. He’s not a “star” but he’s solid.
Then you have a couple “stars” on D with Clay Matthews and Woodson and the rest are just average no names, and THAT team goes 15-1.
OUR passing game can be very good too, with Moore (who is a rising star stud) and Ford and DHB, with Reece being our James Starks and oh, we have another big weapon type guy GB doesn’t even have with gamebreaker McFadden.

January 14th, 2012 at 7:09 am
Look at NE. The whole key to EVERYTHING seems to be Brady and the passing game. SOLID receivers in Welker (we need a possession type guy like that who RARELY drops passes) Hernandez, and other than that what do they have? Their D is farely average if not weak. Benjarvis Green-Ellis is no better than Reece at RB. Danny Woodley? C’mon.
A very solid O-line keeps Brady safe to do his damage, and what else?
Our key may be to keep Palmer “safe” to do what he CAN do, and beef up our D with ‘no names’ who can PLAY… which is Reggie’s strength.
After what our D did last year, i’m ok with Seymour being gone and replaced with a young, hungry, aggressive lineman, and i won’t cry with McClain out of here as well. Character speaks to effort and I don’t see much “character” with McClain…and not a heck of a lot of effort either.
We can do this.
January 14th, 2012 at 7:20 am
A fun exercise is when watching todays playoff games and looking close at the teams still playing, to see which areas they are better than us. ESPECIALLY on defense. Those stud teams do not have good defenses (except for Baltimore and San Fran.)
I think Palmer CAN be our stud QB. He’s been that before so we know it’s somewhere in there.
I think the key is fixing our D to elevate to at least “average”. That’s it. Then, bolster the offense even more with a receiving corps that can CATCH. Bolster our backups there too.
I don’t think we need a heck of alot.
The whole conference is there for the taking imo.

No Billick, or Capers for that matter. We’ve seen more than enough of washed-up retread coaches around here.
=====================
Strange. Belichick was supposedly “washed up”. Granted he lucked into the greatest 6th round pick in NFL History (T.Brady), but, he was a 3-4 coach, good at match-ups, could assemble a decent staff, and could just get guys off the street (Woodhead, Julian Edelman, Troy Brown) and knew just how to use them.
If Capers could bring that kind of know-how, with McKenzie assmebling the draft picks and some assistants. Why not?
People are too worried about “re-treads” – Capers had a horrific o-line, David Carr in Houston, and little offense in Carolina, if I remember.
We’ve had a few coaches with little experience before. I think Capers, with Moss as DC wouldnt be bad at all. He’s there for a little while, and Moss takes over as McKenzie adds the pieces. Like one poster said; you have a couple “stars” on D with Clay Matthews and Woodson and the rest are just average no names – that could be repeated here, especially in a division that has yet to have a dominant team.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:11 am
Damn autocorrect. Tebow is terribleand I will never give him credit as a qb until he players like one and nota glorified wild cat RB. That will catch up to him and that team. Didn’t when it mattered? Please dude. Go back to watchin soccer or whatever…

Doesn’t matter how you win…”Just win baby”.
Forget about Cowher or Gruden coming here. Cowher lives on the east coast and has no urge to uproot his family, and Chucky is making big coin doing something he loves. Our best bet is a bright young mind like Bowles, Moss or Clements.

I’ll say … Gruden. I can’t see Cowher coming here. But it would be a good hire, of course….if he has the personnel. You see those guys would want significant say in the draft, and that was the sticking point with Jeff Fisher going to Miami – he chose St. Louis, because he’d have more influence on personnel – and that was Hue’s sticking point – but Hue didnt win or at least prep the team to win when it had to.

=========================
I think when a guy has been out for awhile, he looks at things differently. He can assemble a staff..KNOW HOW TO MANAGE THE CLOCK, at least, etc. I remember Vermeil was out for a long while, came back and got a ring with the Rams, then resurrected the Chiefs with Priest Holmes, and that old ass coaching staff (including our OC Saunders)
take the flip side; Moss has never been a defensive coordinator, just like Herm Edwards was. you look for fire, inspiration to jump start the teams confidence. OK, now we need game planning, adjustments, scheme and players to fit it, draft picks to grow into roles. Lets say Capers brings in Perry as DC and Clements as QB coach with Saunders going to Offensive coordinator.
Or Bowles comes in and brings in Mike Nolan?
I think the least favorite thing I’ve heard is Marc Trestman coming in – thats a rumor I hope isnt true.

Pats fans said the same about Belichick in 98. Its not a matter of a “name coach” automatically generating wins – its how the team is put together. – that was a different era, its a passing league, but if you notice – 3 of the final 4 teams have solid defenses – Ravens, Texans and Niners – but the Pack is tops in SCORING defense, just as the Pats are. – but, yeah Capers would be a retread, and its about exciting the fan base.

Same can be said for Gregg Williams in Buffalo. It’d be a shame if he immediately follows Fisher to St. Louis, I’d like to see the Raiders interview him.

Well, time to shovel snow and hit the boozer before the games start. Rooting for the Saints and Donks (That hurts to type) today…At least the Donks never cheated us out of a playoff win.

Something about ex-defensive back coaches – Tomlin was one, so was Tony Dungy.
I just think it would be an interesting hire….if Green Bay moves on…i would not be surprised by the hire – but Nolan would be expensive, from what i hear. Gregg Williams aka “Dr. Heat” is a firey dude, i think he’d be a good choice, too.
Lets not forget Rob Chudzinski, either.

Food for thought, Tebow haters;
“Despite a 167-63 record during his 12 seasons as coach of the team, Bill Belichick has an all-time record of 4-10 against the Broncos. Though four of those losses came when Belichick was coaching the Browns” And Belichick is 4-6 vs. the Broncos as coach of the Pats. T.Brady had his 10 game playoff win streak ended v. the Broncos in 2005.

I mean, do the stars align for Tebow or what?

I think the only reason they haven’t is the league went in the Patriot/Bellichik direction as far as hires go. Carthon is a Parcells guy and of course Grimm comes from the Shi**sburgh background. Either of those guys probably would be a nice combination to the new Green Bay element we have here.

Not sure but easy to imagine.”
You have to admit he’s showing some signs of being able to throw to a spot as his receiver approaches that spot. Whether a team actually decides to build an offense around his weaknesses and his strengths as they approach the draft remains to be seen.
However, I can’t help but recall what Steve Young looked like early in his career. Both in the UFL and in his early NFL career, he so didn’t trust his passing that he took off running all the time.
What I don’t recall is how accurate or inaccurate he was in the early years of his pro career. Can anyone provide some elucidation on that?
January 14th, 2012 at 10:27 am
If the Raiders hired Dom Capers, everyone would laugh at us the same we that we laughed whenever SD hired Norv Turner. We all knew that he was a horrible HC. Just like everyone now knows that Capers is a horrible HC.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:33 am
I am convinced that John Gruden is very happy in his present role and why not? Easy, good money. Okay, so his present job offers no big glory as a “champion” (and I am thinking that it might stick a bit in his craw that lots of folks call his Super Bowl victory a victory with another coach’s team)but I doubt he want to return to the days of practically sleeping at the facility.
I doubt few few if any of these announcers sorts, as long as they are collecting a decent paycheck, ever want to go back to the hard day to day grind of coaching.
They get their ego massaged by being on tv.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:39 am
I keep hearing Nolan’s name for DC, and I’ve no reason to disagree that he’s a top defensive coach, but what makes people think he would leave his present job?
The Raiders don’t have history of recent success; they have a rookie GM; and most importantly, they don’t have nor do they offer BIG money to their coaches. I’d expect the money aspect to change now that Reggie is GM, but don’t expect that the organization has the BIG bucks that other teams can afford to offer coaches with proven records of success.
MONEY is a big reason I expect Reggie to hire someon with NO head coaching experience. MONEY will also be the reason we don’t get a proven guy like Nolan for DC.

———————————–
I don’t think we’ll get Nolan for DC. Don’t know what kind of money Reggie will spend on coaches. Seems to have a totally different philosophy from Al Davis on things so I’m not sure that he won’t be willing to spend.
Don’t think the Raiders track record would have much if anything to do with Nolan’s decision. I am confident that the Raiders D is far more talented than it performed last year, so it would not be that difficult for a new DC to come in and look like a magician, vastly improving this unit in one season.
Not sure if Nolan is still under contract, but Miami is looking for a new HC and no guarantee Nolan is in the plans there. Prediction: Miami will hire Mike Zimmer as HC and he’ll hire HueJackCity as OC.
Nolan is also supposedly a finalist for another DC position I heard recently. Can’t remember if it was the Falcons or Jags or who but it sounded like he’s one of two favorites for the job.
Don’t think we’ll land Nolan. We may be waiting till after the Super Bowl to name our next head coach if Green Bay keeps going since I fully expect Winston Moss to be our next HC. I think Nolan will likely be off the market by that time. Also, the Raiders are about to become the East Bay Packers, so our new DC will probably be from that staff also.

In other words, your account is “boss01″ and his is “Boss01″ but the page capitalizes both, making them look identical.

If there is any truth to the Branch sh!t then all of Reggies “building a team” BS is just that.
Cliff Branch should be in the HOF, but he has now business on an NFL sideline coaching NFL receivers.
Cliff is tight with Mark and this is EXACTLY the kind of thing Al would’ve done and did do. I don’t mind employing ex Raiders in the ticket or luxury box sales or anywhere that doesn’t affect the “on field” performace.

Going with the Saints -3.5 and Patriots -13.5 today.
My head was telling me to go with the Saints, even though I have a gut feeling SF may win. Ultimately, while I have a ton of respect for SF’s D and Harbaugh, I just couldn’t invest in an Alex Smith-led offense to hang with Drew Brees and the Saints offense.
The Pats-Broncos game is really hard to predict with any confidence. The Pats D is weak and the Broncos are wildly inconsistent, winning 6 straight before losing 3 straight in lackluster fashion (really should’ve been 5 Ws, 4 Ls but Chicago choked). Don’t know which Broncos team will show up. But I’ll go with Brady, Belichick and company to take care of business against the Denver Tebows and force them into a type of game they don’t want to play. I wouldn’t be stunned if the Pats win by 30+. I wouldn’t be stunned if the Broncos find a way to win outright. In the end, this is more of an ‘I hate the Broncos and under no circumstances can I root for them’ play.

I think you will see Flacco’s coming out party this weekend.
This year he played a top 10 defense, 11 times (Bengals and Steelers were 4 of those games) and went 9-2 with a 108 QB rating.
He has improved dramatically since the days of some former hack of an NFL head coach coaching him.

January 14th, 2012 at 12:19 pm
Tebow will be the QB for the Bronco’s the next 6-7 years, he will improve every year, and be a giant pain in the azz to us.
Everyone predicting his demise, and who change their argument against him WEEKLY, just look like biased fools.
I think we may see the good ol days of the Bronco’s this year.
Make it to the Super Bowl……and lose by 40.

Got the classic, does defense our offense win in the playoffs, game with the Saints @ 49ers.

Seriously, with all that money you would think he could afford a better barber.

I hope you’re right, but I have faith in Harbaugh and his defense.
The Saints don’t have a great away record. They are a turf team. The Packers, with a similar offense, don’t seem bothered by grass.
January 14th, 2012 at 12:45 pm
QB’s rarely get hurt outside of the pocket (save for the one QB who doesn’t know how to slide).
If Tebow gets hurt, it will be in the pocket.
He is the one dishing the punishment at the end of games, not the defense.
January 14th, 2012 at 12:47 pm
You’re one of those early birds,J Hill.Hell,I usually don’t start until 1030-1100,especially this time of year.Of course up here in the north part of the state,frost delays won’t let you start much earlier.
January 14th, 2012 at 12:47 pm
Let’s face it…there are no REAL heavy super prospects out there for HC…..might have been smart to stay with Hue an extra year and have Reggie dictate how Hue operated. Hue went out of control after Al was gone.
Hue might have been able to keep in check with Reggie in place.
Not that I wanted Hue back after going 1-4 down the stretch, but I don’t see anybody better that merits starting over again from scratch with out systems.
January 14th, 2012 at 12:47 pm
J,
Let’s just say we both have been right in some instances.
I told you he was better than Orton before the season started, he would give us fits when we played him, and probably win the division, months ago.
I told you last week they would win, and I am telling you now, I think they win today ,and maybe next week.
But I hope he gets a Bo Jackson hip injury, because I DO NOT want to play him for years to come.

I would completely disagree with this. They lost a couple of last years starters and their Oline leader in Allan Fenaca before the season started. And they had Kold and Skelton as their Q’s. They still played decently on offense, and ended the season 5-1 with wins over Dallas and the Phony Whiners. I wish we would’ve ended that way.

I said last week I wouldn’t mind if Capers is brought in. He had two tough gigs with expansion teams previously and actually took the Panthers to the NFC title game in their second year.

Looking at his age, Mark was in college when the Raiders were in Oakland.
Why not go to bad azz party school, and still be 3 hours from home and still go to all the games?
I graduated from Chico State and my cousin went to San Diego State, and after he came up for a few weekends, he was convinced he made the wrong decision.

Wife and kids don’t normally get up until 10 or so on the weekends, so it’s the best time for me to get out without hearing ANY crap.
It was pretty cold this morning. Hands took a long time to warm up.
Still had a good time though.

I’m not with David Shaw or Philbin.
Shaw looks good because he has Andrew Luck, not rolling the dice with that.
We got a few years with Palmer to try to do something, and I want him to have a veteran HC.
Give me Capers!!!!

FYI the babes at Pepperdine get LOOSE
Sometimes I cruise down Malibu way for a few Long Islands at Gladstone’s. Usually the place is packed with coeds who go nuts for my bratwurst (aka my weiner).
I was once humping this babe in the dorms and her Vanilla Ice-style boyfriend came back from a party early. We ended up having a rap war and obviously I out lyricized him then made love again to his girlfriend while he cried in the corner.
Word has it next day he was laughed out of line at the cafeteria and someone stole all his underwear. Straight up.
That’s what probably got my music career off the ground. Praise Jesus for that, you know?

I don’t think my Chico State diploma is going to trump a Pepperdine one.

I agree with you on Capers over the other names I’ve heard so far. Most importanly is he’s pretty likely to bring Trgovic along as DC.
I think our offense is so loaded Chris in NY could call the damn plays.

J Hill,it’s always a good time out on the links-or at least it should be.As long as you remember-one day you might have the shanks,can’t sink a putt,slice many shots and duck hook the rest,then you could go out the next day and suck.

If my dad owned a pro football team, they last thing I would want to do in my 20’s is go to Stanford and waste away some of my best years holed up in the dorms studying vectors.
He knew his future was working with Pops until the old man passed and than he was going to be a pro football owner.

Maybe his dad didnt want him to go to a big school where he would be drafting players from.
Or Mark is a tard and his dad sent him to a small school so when he F’ed up it would be as talked about.

Shaw definately has a talent issue on the defensive side of the ball with Stanford.
But I thought they were worse this year than last year, and realistically they probably should have improved.
I wouldn’t be bloody angry if we hired him, I just think he should be the hire if plan A, B, and C don’t work out.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:08 pm
Do you guys think it’s better with a coach who is unproven but hasn’t had the chance yet, like Shaw or Moss, or a retread that has failed before, like Capers?

Also, it’s obvious that McKenzie wants a coach he personally knows and has worked with. This is really the first big hire of his career, and its success or not will go a long way to determining his entire career path.
With that much riding on it, he wants someone he trusts.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Not sure if Capers should be considered a “Failure”.
His first 3 years coaching, he was 26-22 with a Championship game appearance.
That’s all I want, 3 years of Dom, and than hand the reins to his chosen lieutanant.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:10 pm

Shaw is an interesting prospect…not sure Stanford would let him go but they let Harbaugh walk also with Luck declaring to stay in school! Also, Shaw is Willie Shaw’s son…
Bowles, if I am reading correctly, could be the next Tomlin…did take the Steelers to the SB twice…but that is all heresay! We see what happens!
January 14th, 2012 at 1:12 pm
The 2 names that interest me are Bowles and Clements.One of the keys will be the staff,specifically the DC,the new HC brings in.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:12 pm
Just Fire…I am not sure about Dom as HC. I’d like to have him as DC, but still not sure we have the LB’ers to run the 3-4. In reality, we’ll have to take what we can get…no power coaches out there.

***************************
If McKenzie flops as a GM of a team that was 8-8 for two years before he came, and for a team he was given full reign too, he will never be considered for a GM again.
This is his big chance, he is going to at least start with someone he knows is capable of handling a locker room, and a two minute warning.
Hue failed in both instances.

I know Harbaugh is doing his thing, but I think he is the exception.
I want a guy familiar with the NFL game, rules and players.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:17 pm
Good point JFB!
January 14th, 2012 at 1:18 pm
We’re starting over with a new GM, at least it seems like we’re about to.
Why not hire a young, up and coming talent as HC so he can grow along with the team?.
Or, are we expecting this team to make the playoffs next year?.
That’s the first question we need to ask.
McKenzie is not gonna come out and say: “Look, we’re cleaning house, we’re rebuilding here.” that’s bad for everyone.
But him not saying so, does not mean it’s not the plan.
If we’re starting over, get David Shaw and let him grow for a couple of years while McKenzie rebuilds this team.
If the plan is to tweak some stuff and keep most of the roster for the foreseeable future (2-3 years) then get an experienced HC who does not need time to figure it out.
We’re gonna have to wait and see McKenzie’s plan.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:18 pm
I remember when we interviewed and wanted Sean Payton.
We need to hire someone like that.
No “Retreads”.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:18 pm

January 14th, 2012 at 1:20 pm

————————————————
What does that have to do with his coaching ability?.
Art Shell was probably the best Left Tackle in history, nobody carried more “cred” with the players than Art, but the guy can’t coach.
I know it’s meaningful for Harbaugh to have played and the fact he was a tough SOB as well, but he’s good because he can coach.

Seems like he can coach an offense, should be a HC soon, McKenzie should have a sit down with him, unless he already has his man and is waiting for him.

Accountability.For the 1st time in god knows how long,the players will be held accountable for their play and won’t be able to run to the owner for a pass.That is going to be a nice change we should see.

It had(has) to be hard being Al Davis’ only child and a son, at that. It would have been easier on a daughter.
Here’s wishing the best for Mark, that he can fly high (I mean that in a healthy way) on his own, in his own way.
I think he’s off to a good start. While I am sure he loves his dad, it’s my bet he doesn’t now nor never has wanted to be like his dad in some ways.
Here’s to soaring, Mark.

His second stint…he brought in his “friend” Walsh, and his Oline coaches…that was a big time failure! But he did something that Hue should have done… Art did replace Walsh during the season…
January 14th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
Hwnrdr-you also have to wonder if Shell would have done things differently if he had known he only had 1 year to right the ship.Remember,he was pissed when he was fired because he was told he had a minimum of 2 years to rebuild.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
Vegas.
I’m not sure anymore, we can be a playoff team with these guys, no doubt in my mind.
But at the same time … is it worth it to try and win a Super Bowl, the ultimate goal, with Palmer over the next 2-3 years?.
Or should we just start over, keep the guys who will fit with McKenzie’s plan and start replacing expiring contracts, making a few trades, releasing some players and taking the cap hit now so we have room for the next few years?.

===============================================
Hue’s postgame press conference made him look power-hungry, and his post-firing interviews made him sound bitter. Then he totally disclaimed ownership of the Palmer trade, almost to the point of saying it was Mark Davis’ idea and he just signed off on it.
None of this looks good to potential employers.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
I still say Art bailed Al out that year. Al couldnt get anyone else and Art took one for the team.
I talked to Art often when he lived in the Reno/Sparks area. He didnt want to come back as coach.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
Lefty, that is true! But under Al, the Raiders have never been 2-14, so he has to at least account for that!
Bob, under Al we NEVER rebuilt, always reloaded…doing it right, if it means start over, could be a good thing in the long run! But I know the fan base is itching to win now, so…you’re right…lets see what Reggie has in mind!
January 14th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Don, good point…and it showed during that season that he really never wanted to come back…it was Al’s last choice, unless he was willing to say to Norv…alright, you can come back…but I think Norv already went across the Bay, didn’t he?
January 14th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
I hope they reload. I dont want to wait another 4 or 5 years to play another meaningful game.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Why should we totally tear things apart and start from scratch?Granted,there are players that need to be replaced,but it would be better to replace them whenever possible,not purge the lineup.We weren’t that far off this past year.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
I say we reload…too much offensive power…
January 14th, 2012 at 1:42 pm
All I know is when Norv was hired Art’s name was out there. I ask him about it and he said Norv will get it. He also said Norv would last because things were out of control player wise. He didnt say he didnt want it but sound as if he was happy it was Norv and not him.
January 14th, 2012 at 1:43 pm

Yes I do, Don. I’ve been to Raider games in L.A (born there) as a kid and here in Miami but this year I’m planning on heading to Oakland. It would be my first game there and a dream come true.
January 14th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
So far, this game reminds me of the Raiders & Bucs Super Bowl.
January 14th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
Here’s the problem with losing teams and all teams with losing histories (and yes, we have a losing history)…
Until that losing team has a winning record, (even if only by putting together one winning season that looks as if the next year might be even more promising in the sense it can win the division), quality free agents go elsewhere.
So, in comes a Harbaugh. He takes an already good defensive team that he didn’t put together and matches it with an offensive team that can put up enough points to win. That makes the D even better. The even-better D makes the offense even better because Harbaugh, with a great D, can take chances with play calling on offense.
The Niners make the playoffs. If they win this game or not, there are enough good players out there who now say, “Yeah, if the Niners offers me a good contract, maybe not one quite as good as, say, the Bengals, I’m going to the Niners, because I am convinced they will go the Super Bowl.
Until the Raiders have what is perceived as great management with great coaching, what’s to lure those kinds of players here? And, it only takes one or two of those types of players to make a difference.
I don’t know if it was Singletary’s coaching of the D or if it was the drafting, but it’s clear that the great defense has allowed the 49er offense to get better.
January 14th, 2012 at 2:33 pm
Miami, I went to my first game in Oakland this season. It was great except for the fact that it was the debut of Tebowmania.
January 14th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
Hendu,that is your prerogative.I wouldn’t want either of them.I don’t believe either of them was a great coach.Gruden would have never won a SB if he hadn’t played a team he knew so well.Tomlin won 2 SBs in a few years with the same team it took Cowher something like 14 years with to win 1.Both were media hounds who were famous because of their scowls more so than due to their coaching.
January 14th, 2012 at 2:37 pm
“I wonder how many Raider QBs were ruined by poor coaching and environment.”
I think that Al Davis was a master at identifying coaching talent years before anyone else would give guys a chance (Sean Peyton, Bill Billechek, etc.) but he’d never pull the trigger and hire them as HCs…either that, or he low-balled them over a contract.
I am going to say the unthinkable too, even though I can’t stand the guy- Lane Kiffin has surprised me at USC. I fully expect him to have that team back in the hunt for the national championship when they are let out of purgatory by the NCAA.
January 14th, 2012 at 2:37 pm
Thats unfortunate Albert, I was cursing and swinging at my sofa by the end of that game. Hopefully I’ll be lucky to catch them put it on someone when I go. First game I ever went to in Miami was after 9/11…that was intense and I was being called the “Taliban” my Phins fans in the parking lot.
Can’t wait to head out to NoCal. How was the night life?

What does that have to do with his coaching ability?.

Come on. He obviously has coaching ability because he was an extremely successful head coach everywhere he went. And he played 12 years in the league. As a starting Q.

if gruden would have stayed in oakland .. who would have beat raiders in superbowl ?? the grudenless bucs ?
January 14th, 2012 at 3:06 pm
Hendu,that is exactly what I’m saying.He not only wouldn’t have won,he never would have gotten us there.Remember,in the tuck game we still had our chance and he gagged.That is my opinion.As far as the traded part,he would have left had he not been traded.He had a chance to sign an extension and refused.That isn’t opinion,that is fact.

so, bill callahan ran the same offense and had the same talent but gruden couldnt have gotten oakland to the suoperbowl ? really ? i dont think that makes sense .
and remember that mike crabtree said he didnt want to come to oakland. he was relieved when raiders didnt draft him. so to hell with him .

Bob Marley Says:
January 14th, 2012 at 1:18 pm
We’re starting over with a new GM, at least it seems like we’re about to.
Why not hire a young, up and coming talent as HC so he can grow along with the team?.
Or, are we expecting this team to make the playoffs next year?.
==========================================
With the right coaching staff and some personnel changes we could compete for a playoff spot next year. We should have this year with a new Q and a ton of injuries. Remember, we have a new GM that has not been a GM before. I don’t know how prudent it would be to bring in a bunch of other guys who have never been in their new positions, like HC, DC etc. Hence Dom Capers name being bandied about.
January 14th, 2012 at 3:10 pm
A bunch of picks by Brees and this defense still has the team in a position to take the lead at the half.
Don’t tell me a good defense won’t help our team be in this playoff run next year.

There is no way anyone knows for sure Gruden would have gotten that team to the SB.You can speculate all you want,but in the end you don’t know because 1)he didn’t do it before,and 2)he wasn’t here.

Truth is Bill Calahan coached the team to the SB-the same team Gruden couldn’t get to the SB.The difference was Gruden ran the offense when he was here,Trestman ran the offense when Gruden left.

Funny that when they were drafted, Crabtree and DHB were considered completely different type of WR’s.
After 3 years, they are both possession WR’s, who are good after the catch, with inconsistant hands.
I’ll take DHB due to his attitude, but they are the same guys pretty much on the field.

Grudens Raider teams had the tendency to fade down the stretch. Which was not good. Even in his 12-4 season I think we finished the year 4-3. And in the “snow job” season we finished the year with 3 straight losses which cost us home field and made us travel to New England if I remember right.

I also feel the league transitioned from good QB’s (McNair, Gannon) to great QB’s (Manning, Brady, Rothelisberger , Rivers, Brees)…QB play elevated teams to different levels….Callahan passed, and Gruden basically knew most of the plays and the Bucs legendary cover-2 under Monte Kiffin did the rest. One key point was that dropped INT early by Rod Woodson…but the turnovers and Touchdown returns on INTS killed us that day.

You got that right. Niners are playing sound, fundamental football. There has to be an attitude change, and a lot of guys have guaranteed money and didnt earn it down the stretch. There has to be a change in the culture…

I will simply explode this obviously wack opinion
The Raiders NEVER had a losing season under Jon Gruden. He won with a few free agents, some paperclips and bubble gum. Guys like Terry Mickens, and Randy Jordan played with the same heart as these Niners are doing today.
Simply look at the combined Raider coaches W-L record v. Gruden. THE ULTIMATE FACT. The team simply fell apart AND NEVER RETURNED. Callahan won, with what Gruden built and how he developed Gannon.
EXPONENTIAL FAIL. You simply don’t have the numbers to back your biased opinion. I’m not included what he did at Tampa after the SB

This argument is pointless. Until a coach comes in an resurrects the Raiders (which none have been able to do)
Gruden was the greatest coach since the Raiders moved back from L.A.
Callahan simply disintegrated following that magical SB year, then disappeared taking the Nebraska program with him (REMEMBER?)

Heywar-Bey stretches the field, that is why he is always open for those 8 yard passes.
Now that he catches the ball on a button hook, and he made that big time catch in OT versus Kansas City; he needs to learn to catch on the fly and post routes without stopping, he needs to learn to adjust to the timing of the flight of the ball & still catch the baall in stride.

There is no denying Gruden’s success while he was here. Gannon was a good player who turned into a league MVP thru his own hard work and Gruden. Of course Gruden did have a couple of Hall of Famers on his roster, something we have no had here since.

I also happen to agree that Murphy will be a fine #3 or #4 WR.

Need about 9 picks – so at least 3 to 4 trades. And about 4-5 free agents, and 3 re-signs (Bush, Reece and Tyvon Branch…have a decision to make on Samson Satele, too)
18-19 free agents on this team including the late signee Lito Sheppherd.

He built Gannon
AND DESTROYED HIM IN THE SUPER BOWL.
Gannon had an MVP year – and the Bucs annihilated him, and you know that.
stop it, already. They havent gone anywhere since Gruden left. Everybody knows Davis never shouldve traded Gruden and shouldve extended him, but Gruden had too much presence, ego and was a media star.
=======================================
There is no denying Gruden’s success while he was here. Gannon was a good player who turned into a league MVP thru his own hard work and Gruden. Of course Gruden did have a couple of Hall of Famers on his roster, something we have no had here since.
===============
Agreed.
January 14th, 2012 at 3:59 pm
I like Meyers too.
I think Boss will get cut.
Gordon is a big ole beast, and Ausberry has way too much potential as a pass catching TE.
January 14th, 2012 at 3:59 pm
People seem to forget that we were basically as bad the few years before Gruden came as the many years after he was here.
It’s just too much coincidence to say he wasn’t the reason we did well those years. He knew how to handle Davis to get what he wanted for the most part.
Doesn’t mean I want him back. Leaving the NFL for a few years, things change and you fall behind. If you’re not ahead of the curve you’re already behind it. Don’t know how he’d do now. But, anyone who says otherwise except that he was the reason we didn’t have 15 straight losing seasons is nutz. Really, the only little period. I think we were 4-12 the year before he was hired and then two years after he left we were back to 4-12.

Why not hire a young, up and coming talent as HC so he can grow along with the team?.
Or, are we expecting this team to make the playoffs next year?.
==========================================
With the right coaching staff and some personnel changes we could compete for a playoff spot next year. We should have this year with a new Q and a ton of injuries. Remember, we have a new GM that has not been a GM before. I don’t know how prudent it would be to bring in a bunch of other guys who have never been in their new positions, like HC, DC etc. Hence Dom Capers name being bandied about.

VERY true. Any other organization, the first hear a head coach is there, and gets to 8-8 they DEFINITELY get another year.
January 14th, 2012 at 4:23 pm
J Hill,I really hope they exercise that option.Others complain about Kelly,but Wimbley was the most overpaid player on the team for the production we got from him.
January 14th, 2012 at 4:24 pm
Yeah, we screwed up on Wimbley’s contract after almost getting him at a good price. Then freaked after that deal didn’t go through, which wasn’t really necessary. He’s a good player, but not as good as his contract makes him seem.
January 14th, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Jhill,
Here is specifics for you.
Routt and Wimbley either restructure or cut them
Tommy Kelly can be cut and replaced with LaMar Houston
Seymour’s is so lavish and guaranteed…they have to keep him
McClain – Put the Goethel kid in…at least get someone that hustles and puts the team 1st
Branch and Curry will have to be sent if either asks for the bank..
Replace these players with free agents and rooks.
This defense will not be rebuilt in 1 year….just go find some hustling players that can are willing to give 100%
This defense as its constituted today lacks hustle and desire….quite frankly, they took advantage of Al Davis
January 14th, 2012 at 4:26 pm
Maverick-you won’t like this,but on most teams a coach that takes his team from 4-12 to 8-8 wouldn’t have been replaced either.

You have an ex-linebacker as GM. McClain is as good as gone. No way anyone in their right mind would have him stick around and continue to take up a roster spot. That’s one of the first meetings Reggie needs to have.

=====================
No, I actually agree with what you’re sayin’. I wouldn’t have been upset if Cable got another year. Or he shouldn’t have been given that first year to begin with. I think if a coach makes a noticable improvement than he deserves to stay. I think you should reward production and increased production. If you’re the offensive coordinator and you go from 31st to 10th in offensive production you deserve to stay or get promoted. If your defense goes from #25 to #11 you deserve to stay (like Marshall). If it then goes from #11 to #30 then you deserve to go..and FAST.

Those guys are part of the problem and are part of the culture problem.
They rarely if ever make plays and are hardly leaders.

In all actuality I don’t think we can cut McClain. Even though I want him gone yesterday. Too big of a cap hit.
He needs a serious talking too.
I would love to see Burfict in the silver and black. At least he tries to kill people on the field instead of off of it.

————————————————————–
Won’t miss a beat without Routt?
So not only will we not have a so called #1 corner, we won’t have a #2 corner either?
Our secondary depth was the #1 problem this year.
Wimbley is BY FAR our best pass rushing option.
You can’t cut Wimbley because he is not Demarcus Ware, SnB. And you can’t cut Routt becaus he is not Revis. You would create even more holes on an already swiss cheese defense.
January 14th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
McClain – Put the Goethel kid in…at least get someone that hustles and puts the team 1st
********************************************************
McKenzie made a point of saying in the PC that he was going to be patient and not get rid of some young guy just because he hadn’t panned out yet. Said he’s seen it before and sometimes you give up too early on a player and he ends up being a Pro Bowler.
Two years into his career, with the notorious Chuck B as his DC this year. McClain isn’t going anywhere.
January 14th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
Our Defense can’t be all bad players. The only one we lost was Nnamdi (albiet a huge loss). But suddenly we go from #11 to #29 with the same players basically. That’s on the coaches. Marshall had the same constraints that Bresnehan had.
January 14th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
So basically were going to hand 6 million to Tommy Kelly for 2012…

I’d expect to see Tommy Kelly on another roster if we switch to the 3-4 next year.
Clearly not a fit.
January 14th, 2012 at 4:40 pm
I hope Reggie doesn’t just try to recreate Green Bay though.
That would be a mistake. You can never just “replicate” somewhere else.
What Reggie needs to do is broaden his search and find the best coaching talent….not just wait for the Packers to finish…..I hope there are more interviews before Winston Moss is free.
Also, Aaron Rogers, Greg Jennings, Clay Matthews and Woodson are not here in Oakland.
Reggie, I hope, realizes this and deals with the team he’s got here.

Where do we get the guys to replace them that will be BETTER???!!!!???
Blackstock hustled his arsse off but was simply NOT better than McClain.
Sheppard wasn’t getting many flags tossed against him but Floyd sure did catch 95%of the balls thrown his way when guarded by Sheppard.
January 14th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
I think we have talent on Defense, and players that if we utilized their strengths could be a descent unit.
Just like the offense 2 years ago before Jackson came everyone would’ve said totally sucked. Said get rid of McFadden. Get rid of DHB. We didn’t have any other WRs that we’d heard of. Get rid of all of our offensive line. The only offensive weapon we had was Bush from what we knew, and he was “never played enough because we kept trying McFadden”.
If we had a smart defensive mind he could turn these guys into something by using them properly. Shaunessy, Seymour, Kelly & Houston were one of the best Defensive lines in football 2 years ago. McClain was highly regarded for his instincts and smarts in football. He didn’t suddenly loose them. Routt was the #3 CB as far as % of completions against him 2 years ago. Everyone is saying how Branch should be considered for the pro-bowl. That are some good pieces to play with. Wimbley was getting sacks left and right 2 years ago towards the end of the year. We got pieces to play with. Need to make the best use out of them that we can.

Bad coach = make good players look bad. Good coach = making players look good because they’re put in positions to utilize their strengths (not stuck with a fixed idea of how the coach wants to run things).

January 14th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
Starting corners next year ….
Sheppard and DVD.
Trevor Scott at OLB in place of Wimbley, and Goethel and MLB instead of McClain.
Resign Ricky Brown to replace Blackstock.
Sound good, SnB?

January 14th, 2012 at 4:55 pm
2012 Salaries:
Aaron Curry = $6M
Michael Huff = $5M
Tommy Kelly = $6M
Richard Seymour = $15M
Kamerion Wimbley = $10M
Stanford Routt = $10M
and exactly what did the Raiders get for this? These guys aren’t even the top 5 at their positions.
January 14th, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Bres has plenty of time to screw up? Jk but the niners defense has been shutting down the deep ball all game
January 14th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
Actually Kelly and Seymour were one of the leading units in sacks for DTs I believe.
January 14th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
If the Raider D is on the field right now the Saints win.
Niners D, a whole different story.
January 14th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
Jhill,
Routt won’t be going anywhere…even though he should
Probably can broom out two of their overpaid players.
I would certainly move Kelly out and put in Houston…Seymour will stay…
Wimbley? I might put him out as well….so let’s roll Kelly and Wimbley out the door.
Aaron Curry is not worth $6M.
Trevor Scott could do what Wimbley supposedly does…..easy.
Houston can replace Kelly…..easy
Seymour? Well at $15Mil..he probably stays.
So roll two out…TK and Wimbley

cus its not possible that this team can lead nfl in penalties for like 30 years in a row ,

January 14th, 2012 at 5:19 pm
What a great game. Give it up to the Whiners. They won. The lesson fella’s in this, and I have said this for quite a few years, is with the liberalized scoring rules, it is REALLY tough even for good defenses to make stops at the end of games. The point is your offense has to continue to score to win games in the modern NFL (See Packers, Green Bay or Patriots, New England).
January 14th, 2012 at 5:19 pm

January 14th, 2012 at 5:22 pm
SnB,you worry way too much about what the players are paid.They are all overpaid,get over it.Your problem seems to be you can’t judge a player without looking at his contract.Every team has steals and every team has players that are overpaid.That is not only the NFL but every sport.
January 14th, 2012 at 5:22 pm
The Raiders were TEXTBOOK case example of what happens when you have a shhhhhhhty defense!
January 14th, 2012 at 5:23 pm
LEfty,
If there was no salary cap and no such thing as guaranteed money…then salary wouldn’t mean a thing.
But when we have these bloated contracts given to players that don’t make a difference on the field…it handcuffs the team’s ability to get better….
January 14th, 2012 at 5:23 pm
Saints defense isnt good at all…got a great offense..Alex smith= better than Carson Palmer…he has won a playoff game…more than Carson can ever say. He beat a Super Bowl MVP with juggernaut offense…..two TDs in the final minutes? Man we dont have a qb on the roster
January 14th, 2012 at 5:23 pm
I have a feeling Bill is going to run up the score this game. It could be like video game stuff.

Because, then you have to find difference makers while still paying money to the average to below average player that could be had for a song if you could just cut them and move on.
The Raiders have some of the highest paid players at their position on defense (Wimbley, Routt, Seymour, Kelly, Huff) and Curry next year.
If those players played to the potential that Al saw in them…they aren’t getting lit up every week
January 14th, 2012 at 5:25 pm
Raiders are 2nd class in the Bay Area, BY FAR! It’s painful to say, but Alex Smith is a winner now, and may win the Super Bowl. They have the defense to win it all.

No as our good friend Oakglenn said a few years back….when you give an offense the ball with a do or die drive they generally get it done with enough time left on the clock. You need to make plays and both teams offensive skill players made plays in the fourth quarter….at the end of the day…when game is onthe line you got to make plays

The lesson is BIG RECEIVERS (tall with a long reach)and much taller secondary guys.
I think coaches will be trying to coax more and more tall, fast guys to be defensive backs. They’ll be hard to find.

If Palmer has a defense like that we are still playing right now!
January 14th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
Since I’m a Niner hater, I wonder if it’s best to root for the Packers or the Giants? I would have said Packers, as I don’t think the Niners can keep up with them in a scoring match in Green Bay, but I wonder if a more defensive-oriented team doesn’t have a better shot at them.
Nah, I think being at home gives a team 3-7 points.
January 14th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
jhill its so obvious.. its carsons mindset that did that . u remember 400 years ago when jason campbell was our qb ? and he loved throwin to runnin backs and tight ends ? well thats what he does.. and u remember when carson palsmer was in cinci ? and ocho and housh both had like 100 catches a season ? thats what he does, ,,
its why carson throws so many ints.. he refuses to check down enuff while campbell checks down way too much,. i remember when campbell was in washington .. who caught most his passes ? that big H – back right ?
January 14th, 2012 at 5:43 pm
fans in washington hated that j campbell was afraid to throw deep passes no more than twice a game and that he checked down 80 % of the time .

The Niners couldn’t survive the Ravens, no way. I don’t think they could even hang with the Giants.
******************
Giants present a different matchup and have revenge on their mind in that have travel to SF and they do in GB tomorrow…..just gonna be difficult to beat GB at Lambeau
The Ravens may be destined to get this one. They been knocking on the door for their 2nd trophy since 2006. Just may be their time. Ray Lewis go off in the sunset with his second ring
If I had it my way it would be the Texans and Giants in it and the Texans win a miracle title with a rookie backup QB. Would make for great theatre….but I see a Packers vs Ravens bowl
===========
I think so, too. Unless that Baltimore rookie DB Williams gets torched by the Texans receivers.
another play by Sterling Moore…who Hue Jackson let go on waivers *eyes roll*

It is rather ironic that it was the 49ers offense that had to step up to win that game. The Saints defense is a disgrace to the NFL, joining our sorry defense.

It’s hard to believe the 49ers own the Bay Area again. We just root for a bad team, unfortunately. If they win the Super Bowl, we will never, ever hear the end of it from 49er fans.
January 14th, 2012 at 5:58 pm
Who cares about the Niners, Broncos and other teams.
The Raiders problems are having too many players cash’n checks and taking advantage of the owner.
If Reggie can clean that up…this will be a great 1st step.
Raiders stars rarely man up…its guys like Denarious Moore who step up their games.
And that’s why the team sits home watching the Broncos…..cause none of those Millionaire players with guaranteed contracts could make a damn play!
January 14th, 2012 at 5:58 pm
+4 in turnovers and it takes a miracle for them to win. Are they that good, or is it a mirage?
January 14th, 2012 at 5:58 pm
I don’t think there is a team I hate more than the 9ers. I don’t live anywhere near the bay area yet I can’t stand that team, always been that way. I hate them more than our division rivals.
after watching todays game, I don’t know if there is a coach I hate more than Harbaugh! He reminded me of when that prick Austin was smiling when we played them on thanksgiving a couple years ago. FVCK I hate that team!!
January 14th, 2012 at 5:59 pm
Do you people now see what a good HC and good defense will get u?
It just got the whiners to the championship game. the look on Drew Brees and Sean Payton (the cocky ahole who thought was too good to coach the raiders) was absolutely priceless.
Regg better take notes, find a good HC and fix the D. Do that and u will be guaranteed to make the playoffs next year.
Now, I hate, no I HATE the whiners, but I hate the aints more. I hate Payton, I hate Brees, and I have some coworkers from NO, who I really despise and will be glad to pour salt on their wounds Monday morning.
Not a good week for the state of LA, I love it.

I think I hate the Steelers more. Maybe because I have been around a lot of them the last 3 yrs in Memphis and they are so arrogant. The Niners sucked for so long that I stopped hating on them.
January 14th, 2012 at 6:01 pm
Dumping Slowlando is almost as important as dumping JaMoron was.
Can’t retain morons that are more interested in playing gangsta than being dedicated professionals. Can’t retain players that don’t hustle. Can’t retain players that are slow as molasses and whiff on easy tackles like the one on Stafford with the game and season on the line.
Doesn’t matter where he was drafted. Doesn’t matter how much he’s getting paid or what the cap consequence is. Doesn’t matter if you don’t have an immediate replacement.
Can’t build around or succeed with non-performing, wannabe gangsta chumps.
Slowlando is a cancer that must be exorcised.
Wouldn’t surprise me to see Slowlando get into further trouble this offseason and make this whole debate academic.
Bite the bullet and dump him, Reggie. Has to be done.
January 14th, 2012 at 6:01 pm
“The Saints turned the ball over 5 times….you cant win like that!”
There’s a reason they did that.
The Niners hit HARD. The last time I saw a Raider defensive player hit an opponent hard was the season before last. Wasn’t it Rolando hitting Sproles?
(And that was the first and last time I saw Rolando hit anyone, hard or soft.)
January 14th, 2012 at 6:02 pm
No excuse for not using the tight ends….yeah it s Hue’s fault but not like Palmer been the type of qb to find the TE alot

“Hard to believe the 49ers are legitimate to win another Super Bowl.”
They remind me of the Raider wild card team that went on to win the Super Bowl.
The Niners might be peaking and Smith gaining the optimum of confidence at just the right time.

If it weren’t for the money, please explain any football reason to keep him. I thought he would be better this year, but so far, I’ve not seen ANY physical gifts, other than a long reach, that he has.
If I have missed something, please point it out to me. I think he got hyped because of the great college team he played for and because he studied film, wasn’t considered a dullard.

“Media wise,they always have owned the bay area.The Raiders owned the fans until Davis moved us.It was the most stupid decision any owner in any sport ever made.”
Yep, but if you recall, the Oakland Coliseum Board, the City of Oakland, all of them never, ever thought Al would move. They laughed at that notion. They thought the NFL, which didn’t want him to move, would be the last arbiter, and that they not only would block him, but could block him. They were arrogant, dismissive, stupid, and as wrong as pols could get.
As to the merits of it all, there are two ways of looking at it.
1) Davis was right that he needed a bigger, better stadium to compete in the decade ahead. He saw that before anyone else did. He knew free agency would be big and that an owner who could compete from ticket sales, luxury boxes, big media contracts would hold a huge advantage over smaller market, smaller stadium teams.
Where he was wrong was in thinking that LA and its Coliseum would be the answer.
So, in this regard, the pols of Oakland were absolutely wrong. Al Davis, visionary, knew football well enough to know that he needed a new stadium agreement in order to compete DOWN THE ROAD.
2.) Where Davis was disingenuous with the Bay Area fans who had supported this team for decades was in telling them too late that the Oakland and Alameda County pols were screwing him and them.
Had Al and his lawyer, Joe Alioto, begun a PR campaign that actually sought to educate and inform the fans here just what was at stake, just what the future held in the area of free agents and football and Al’s ability to compete, just what the Oakland-Alameda County Co. Commission and the others were doing, the fans would have backed Al. It would have destroyed the careers of those politicos who fought him.
However, that Al didn’t protest publicly and too weakly until it really was too late tells me he never really wanted to stay once he knew he could get the LA site, with about 90,000 seats and the radio/tv market of the SoCal area.
We were screwed by the Oakland/Alameda County officials and by Al himself.
You are right, though. For all his vision about what the NFL would look like 10-20 years down the road, he really screwed himself because winning really was more important to Al Davis than anything, and while he did win a Super Bowl, his team never, ever returned to anything approaching the excellence they had achieved in pre-move Oakland.

very interesting comments by Madden when asked when the last time the raiders had a real GM was.
His answer was when Bruce Allen was GM, and chucky also had influence over player personnel decisions, he only had real power because Al was too busy being in court suing the NFL.
Not coincidentally, that was the last time we were a contender, when Al did not call the shots because he was too busy making money in court.

You can’t put your defense on the field with Tim Sheblows, Drew Brees, Peyton, Rodgers or anyone else and expect your D to make a stand. It ain’t gonna happen. Think I am kidding? Alex Smith just drove his team 80 yards in a minute and a half to win.

hey Boss … if winston moss is the raiders new coach ? what racially motivated nickname will u give him ?
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
I don’t care about what race the HC is, and STFU with that crap, I care about him fixing Carson’s penchant for picks, not making bone headed game management decisions, I care about Dubs, Playoffs, Lombardy trophies, so if Moss is hired, I will give him a nickname based on wins and losses
January 14th, 2012 at 6:39 pm

Sam Bradford was hurt a lot and didn’t have the WRs or TEs we have.
I’m not really promoting McDaniel’s, just throwing an offensive name out there to ponder.
I mean, with our weapons it could get really exciting next season.
=========================
“With our offensive weapons” We actually are maximizing the talent on our offense about as much as we can. I don’t think many people could’ve gotten more out of what we have than what we got.
I mean, look at our offense:
A LT in the 3rd round, a LG in the 2nd round, a Center which was a late-round trade, a RG which was a castoff and a RT which was also a castoff and who noone wanted.
A RB who 2 years ago everyone was calling a BUST and who can’t stay healthy for half the year. No WRs who have caught 1000 yards or even that get consistent production. A QB who was the garbage of the Redskins(which is really sayin’ a lot considering who they have) and one who was sitting in retirement till mid season.
Many other teams have much much more talented offsenses. We just really maximized their potential and production because of good coaching and finding the best way to use each of these parts.
I’m tryin’ to pound home this point.
You know how I know Jim Cadwell wasn’t a good coach. When he lost Manning he had NO idea how to re-scheme, figure out what he had and get something out of it.
I think Hue doesn’t have much a clue when it comes to defense, but he’s damned smart when it came to offsense. Let’s we get a HC and coordinators smart enough to think and work like that.
January 14th, 2012 at 6:52 pm
I’ll never forget hte time we played them to open the season in like 1992 or ‘93, I watched that game with 2 buddies that were 9er fans and they kicked our ass and McCallums knee bent backwards… that one still hurts.

Maverick,
I think our offense is much different as far as “weapons” with Palmer, Moore, a developing DHB, and Ford. I think that speed on the outside opens things up for our running game and underneath stuff.
Defenses HAVE to keep 2 guys back with our WRs healthy. HAVE to honor the pass.
Offense won’t miss a beat next year, and will in fact be better due to an offseason for Palmer and health.

I agree with a good O-Coordinator our offense can be better as most of the pieces are very young, and Palmer will have a proper off season. But, that’s a big if as far as the offensive coordinator…it’s a “wait and see”…but the potential is there.

We should come out with Meyers and Ausberry a lot more and line up based on how the defense matches up. If they have a bunch of LBs and S on the field, spread them out, run shotgun, and put both the TEs in the pattern.
If they have no LBs on the field, run the ball.
Something creative like that instead of the damn TE reverse, lol!

Worse than that Stanford Routt contract?

Definately.
Routt was a FA at the right time. He’s better than Cromartie and they got about the same $.
Routt is not Revis. I get that.
Routt is a top corner in this league, imo. half those calls against him were BS.
He did have some bad games though, I will admit that.

===================================
I can guarantee you Sean Payton knows a TON about defense and that Mike Tomlin could play call if he wanted. I can also guarantee that any of those guys can design and run special teams coverages and protections. John Fassell our special teams coach is the son of Jim Fassell, the guy that was HC of the NY Giants and worked as a QB coach with John Elway and others. Why is Fassell our special teams coach? Because he is working his way up, that’s why. The game has become much more specialized, but that does not mean these guys don’t know the game. I’ve heard Jimmy Johnson HC who ran the offense in Dallas, break down his “hitman” defense like he was Dave Wannstaed the DC. It’s just seemed our guy didn’t know what was going on out there.

I was rooting for the Saints to win and I KNEW when they scored with 1:37 left that there was too much time left.
I felt like I was watching an important Raider game.
I knew SF would get into FG range, but just like the Raiders I didn’t imagine Saints would just let them drive down and score a TD like that.
It doesn’t make me feel better about the Raider collapses of this year, but that D was in total Bresnahan mode.
In fact, from now on commentators and coaches etc. should refer to 4th quarter defensive meltdowns as “Bresnahan”. As in:
“You can see right there Jim, that the Saints were in their Bresnahan defense. It’s sometimes effective if you have a 3 touchdown lead with under 2 minutes left”.

Does Sean Payton get the blame for Greg Williams and the N.O. defense fading in this playoff game? No. Why? Because Williams did a good job all year. He is going to trust Williams can somehow pull it out in the end. Our team got worse and worse and worse. That the HC could never find any direction to stop the bleeding is completely on the HC.

Yeah, but how much of that is HIS fault? Alot of times he was out of the game for no apparent reason in lieu of Meyers.

Boss impressed me with that last TD against SD though. He tooka heck of a pop in the head, held onto the ball, and kept us in the game.

He’s obviously a freak of an athlete with is 40 time, size etc. Would be great at TE or WR probably. But, maybe he can become a QB. I haven’t watched enough of him.
January 14th, 2012 at 8:45 pm
Don,Ray Ratto said HJ didn’t think he could be a pro QB at this time.Said after watching him throw,he didn’t want him taking any snaps at QB except for gimmicky plays.That doesn’t mean he won’t someday,but not now.I doubt we could get the 3rd we used on him.
January 14th, 2012 at 8:45 pm
My side are hurting so much laughing!
“Now, Joe, with the success of the Bresnahan, do you think teams will also adopt the Routt, you know, in an attempt to give up huge chunks of yardage?
“By never looking back for the ball, the Routt allows a defensive back to get called again and again for pass interference. One can set penalty records employing the Routt and get himself in those all-important history books.”

January 14th, 2012 at 8:45 pm
Well let’s hope we can beat the Bronco’s next year.
Pretty sad when you look at today, and see what he did to us.
Also, we need to move on from McFadden, IMO.
Tebow had more carries, more yards and more TD’s than him this year, and took a ton of more big hits.
Tebow gets up and fights on at least. McFadden seems all too happy to tell jokes on the sidelines.
January 14th, 2012 at 8:48 pm
Just wondering if he had any value before the draft.
January 14th, 2012 at 8:50 pm
Don,I doubt it although there are many on here who might say he does.
January 14th, 2012 at 8:51 pm
And when I say move on from McFadden, I am not talking about just schlepping him off for whatever draft pick.
I am saying, re-sign Bush, make him the lead back, and hopefully McFadden is a pleasant suprise.
If not, this is last year of his contract.

I wonder what he would be worth to the panthers as a back up who have a running qb.
January 14th, 2012 at 8:55 pm
JFB,I say pass on Bush.We could easily get someone with a low rd pick or in undrafted FA for a lot less money which so many seem so concerned about.That is an area GB excelled in-FA RBs on the cheap.
January 14th, 2012 at 8:56 pm
What would have happened if it was called a fumble instead of the tuck rule? It makes you wonder. Doesn’t it?
We win that game, win a SB, Gruden stays, we win another SB next season…..
January 14th, 2012 at 8:58 pm
Earlier this year, I would’ve said that if McFadden were out, Bush would be his equal, but no.
You could see that teams knew that while Bush could gain yards, they didn’t fear his breaking it all the way to the end zone so they crept up, something they can’t do with McFadden.
We could keep Bush and sports and football being what they are, he could break his leg again in the first game of the season.
January 14th, 2012 at 8:58 pm
Damn the Pats. I really hate that team more than any other team in the NFL including SD.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
I agree. Bush is not worth 5-7 mil in salary. You can always find RBs late in the draft or FA.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
When are you people going to get it through your heads-GRUDEN WOULDN”T HAVE STAYED.He had the contract Davis was offering and turned it down because he didn’t and wouldn’t have gotten the control he wanted.Why is that so difficult for you people to understand!?
January 14th, 2012 at 9:02 pm
I remember when Pryor was drafted that many here said it was a good move and let him sit for a yr or two.
Priesttj was all over that sht and said he would be the greatest all around athlete of all time.
Pryor hasn’t thrown one pass in the NFL and it’s time to trade him?
This blog can be a little confusing at times.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:02 pm
I agree, Lefty.
Pass on Bush.
Spend that money on a FS and NT.
Wiz will be a C next year with some additional upgrades. Combine that with our the lanes our passing game will open up, and we can find a guy to replace Bush in the 5th rd.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:04 pm
TP is Raw, but he is very talented, and we don’t need him to start now. Let him develop, and he may surprise you.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
Nobody here tonight has said trade Pryor.Don was just asking if he would be worth anything if he was up for trade.

January 14th, 2012 at 9:11 pm
I just dont see him being a Reggie project. I would like to see him play. But i was wonering what hes worth if Mongo is looking to get draft picks.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:16 pm
Don,that is a valid point.If McKenzie doesn’t hold him in the same regards as the old man did,there is no guarantee he will even be on the team,let alone be a back-up,apprentice QB.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:17 pm
Tebow may be done, but Alex Smith is 1 step away from a Super Bowl. I NEVER thought that was possible. If he has to go to Green Bay, I think he has no chance. But, if the NY Giants win tomorrow, 49ers have a 50-50 chance.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:18 pm
R McKenzie said he likes people who love football with size and speed. TP loves the game, and has great size and speed. I would find him a position on the team (even if not at QB) due to his trade value. What would teams offer for TP? 5th if we are lucky. He was a 3rd pick last year.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:19 pm

No one, I went back and re-read the comments. Sorry I misinterpreted.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:24 pm
GB with R McKenzie drafted CB Sam Shields who is a converted WR. He only played CB his SR year, so he may take a chance on TP at another position ( if he thinks TP can’t play QB).
January 14th, 2012 at 9:26 pm

I know. You just never know when injuies will strike.
The last 5-6 games Bush averaged only 3.9 yds. a carry. That is not very good, and i see no reason to think it will get better next season if he is our starter.
He is a complimentary back who is not even a good blocker.
The best thing to say for him at this point is he’s durable. Well, yippee skipee doo.
Let’s hope DMAC stays healthy, or get’s healthy, or whatever. I’m sick of talking about him and his stupid foot.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:05 pm
Fkn Kobe walking all over mike brown. I’ve never seen such a display of selfish ball. It’s like the lakers do not even have two seven foot centers. What a joke.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:07 pm
When you see how big is he, how fast he is, you have to ask, “Where has Vernon Davis been for 6 years?”
January 14th, 2012 at 10:08 pm
If AD was still with us,you could be pretty sure he’d overpay to keep Bush.I’m hoping this is where Reggie shows his colors and tells Bush he can stay for the minimum or go ahead and leave,although it wouldn’t bother that much if he was just allowed to walk.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:09 pm
2 7 footers???
Do you see them walking around with their tails tucked between their legs?
Gasoft is a frickin perimeter player.
Where are his post ups?
The rook Morris refuses to shoot.
Peace is not an NBA player.
Who else is going to shoot?
Kapono?
Barnes?
January 14th, 2012 at 10:12 pm

Might as well go with Morris. At least he played good D on Paul. That’s a helluva start for me.

That’s right. He can’t (or won’t) block so when he’s in, the OC has his hands tied in what plays can be called. McFadden is an excellent blocker.
If the medical team tells Reggie that McFadden’s mid-foot injury will always be a problem, that’s one thing, but if they say it’s healed, I think we have to trust that.

Why bother trying to post up when the offense is throw the ball to Kobe and watch him shoot?
Fking pathetic.
Might as well trade Bynum for a bag of balls, at least then Kobe wouldn’t run out of Schyt to throw at the hoop.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:14 pm
As I’ve been saying for a couple years now, Gasoft has to go. He is getting less and less aggressive each season.
Trade him to Minnesota for Kevin Love!
January 14th, 2012 at 10:16 pm
Another one who might be shown the door is T. Jones-another player who couldn’t or wouldn’t suck it up and play when dinged this year.He makes you wonder if he was the type of player Reggie was talking about when he mentioned he wanted guys that loved to play the game,not guys that just show up.I wonder if unfortunately we didn’t have too many of the latter type players.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:17 pm
If Bynum doesn’t post up and demand the ball, he’s not going to get it.
We know Gasoft is more than happy to drift around the outside.
And I guess Bynum apparently is too.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:17 pm
Marv, if DMAC’s injury is indeed healed than we have a bonafide MVP candidate on our hands imo.
Like u said, if Reggie does trade him than we know that he’s been told that it is something to worry about and i too will be fine with seeing him go.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:18 pm
Kobe had one thing in mind from the tip off, 40. That’s it. Rest of the team might as well have stayed home. Kobe had to get his.
Trade Kobe. If he just wants to dominate the offense let him do it in Toronto.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:19 pm
What are you saying about Gasoft when you watch the game, Dakota?
How many times do see them throw him the ball and he settles for a jumper?
How many times do you see him take a few dribble and then pass the ball back out?
January 14th, 2012 at 10:21 pm
Yeah Lefty. You wonder if T. Jones got freaked out when he got popped like he did.
Louis Murphy is one guy I know is freaked out.
The quote says it all.
“When u see a guy (DHB) laying on the ground like that, it makes you question whether you’ve chosen the right profession”.
Doesn’t sound like a guy who is too excited about getting hit by defensive backs.
He can go.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:24 pm
Cmon, Dakota.
Fisher is bringing the ball up the court. Why doesn’t he throw it in to Gasoft or Bynum?
Matt Barnes gets the ball, why does he hot potato it to Kobe half the time he touches it.
It’s on the players to be aggressive.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:26 pm
I’d rather not trade him.Just get 1 or 2 dependable back-ups on the cheap for when he goes down again,which he probably will,but hopefully not for 2/3 the season,Maybe Jones can be one of those guys.However,if,during the off-season workouts he(Jones) is constantly injured like last year,get rid of him now and get 2 other guys.Luckily RBs are easy to find.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:28 pm
Jhill, gasof has always been a finesse player. I want the ball to go into Bynum. Once Kobe starts jacking up constant shots Bynum stops trying. If Kobe and brown are too fking stupid to understand that the kid only plays well we he is included once in a while then there is no help for this team. Kobe knows it, he just doesn’t care and got pissed that the spotlight was shifting once Bynum had his 20-20 game.
Bynum and gasol just stop playing as soon as Kobe touches the ball because they know they are not going to see the ball again.
No offensive movement at all.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:29 pm
Speaking of OTAs,shouldn’t we get an extra one this year because we will have a new coach or did that change with the new CBA?
January 14th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
Nobody has answered this ? so I was hoping one of you fine gents might address it.
I know I heard that any asst. coaches that a team did not plan on retaining, had to be informed within 2 weeks after the season.
My ? is, is that after the individual teams season ahs ended, OR after the Super Bowl is over?
OR…is that even true?
I know Reg wants the HC to be able to pick his own guys, but I can’t fathom why Reg. would even consider bringing Bres. back. Unless…he might offer Bres. a different coaching position, which I would bet Chuck would take.
It beats going back to the UFL or whatever.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:31 pm
MWP is not an NBA player…he is a joke
January 14th, 2012 at 10:34 pm
Fk Bynum gets more touches at the three point line than he does in the post. That is on the hc.
Fisher I’d lobes lapdog, we need a pg who isn’t afraid to take the ball to the other side of the court Snd throw it into the big guys.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:36 pm
Dakota,
Do you remember that stiff Brian Cook who used to play for the Lakers?
Did you see him swat Gasoft finesse layup.
That is a PRIME example of why Kobe has no problem taking 5 of Gasoft’s shot per game.
Did you see that soft arsse left Bynum was trying to come with? Fade away jumpers?
Not going to cut it.
Where are the post up in front of the rim?
January 14th, 2012 at 10:36 pm
Oh well, at least the broncos lost.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:37 pm
All our coaches have probably been informed of their status already and from the sound of things they are all probably free to find new jobs.Since Reggie said the new HC will pick his staff,why would any of the current guys still be employed by the team?
January 14th, 2012 at 10:41 pm
Jhill, I have been reading your lame gasoft hate for four years, and through two championships we would not have without him. How does it feel to be so wrong for so long?
Gasol isn’t the problem. An offense that has gasol throwing passes into Kobe on the post and a coach who is too afraid to tell Kobe to pass the fkin ball are the problems.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:53 pm
I was guessing the assts. are still “employed” until the whole NFL season is officially over, or some specific contract date and instead of Raiders “firing” anybody, they just let their contract run out.
It’s not my job to worry about these things anyway, but the fact Bresnahan is still walking around the halls at Alameda leaves me a bit disconcerted.
Although after today, if I were a Saints fan I would really be ticked off and calling for Gregg Williams’ head.
All of us would be beside ourselves saying “You can’t stop a mediocre offense from scoring a TD with 1:37 and one timeout remaining? In a playoff game with everything on the line?” “Williams has got to go”.
Oh yeah. We’d be on him.

In RAIDER RELATED NEWS, since this is the RAIDER Blog.
Sanjay Lal was the first coach to go. Could Chaz Schillens be the first receiver to go?
“The Contra Costa Times gives free agent WR Chaz Schilens only a “slight” chance of returning to the Raiders in 2012.
Schilens has fallen well behind Darrius Heyward-Bey, Denarius Moore, and Jacoby Ford as a string of lower-leg injuries has limited him to just 27-of-48 games over the past three years. His size and talent should get him a look as a flier in another locale.”

GB with R McKenzie drafted CB Sam Shields who is a converted WR. He only played CB his SR year, so he may take a chance on TP at another position ( if he thinks TP can’t play QB).
==================
How cool would it be if he turned out to be a Pro-Bowl level receiver, like a Jimmy Graham, only at WR? But, i dont know if he could stand the punishment after playing QB for so long….lot of converted basketball types.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:25 am
What a day for Tight Ends.
Graham, Gronk, Hernandez, and most of all Vernon Davis.
Patriots were at the forefront of emphasizing the use of the TE in more of a WR capacity and downfield threat this season. Seems to be an emerging trend.
Pryor deserves a shot at playing QB. But if it becomes apparent that he can not fill that role, then a move to TE would seem natural. He’d immediately eclipse Davis as the fastest TE in the NFL, and would certainly offer the Raids the explosiveness they lack at the position now.
Think about an offense incorporating DMAC, DMoore, DHB, Ford, Reese and TP. Could be downright scary.
DUMP SLOWLANDO.
January 15th, 2012 at 5:12 am
Reggie should call in some of these over paid guys on D especially Routt, Wimbley, and TK into his office and lay down the plan on the table.
Let them know by restructering their contracts will free up $ to add other talent that we desperately need.
I would also go after a top tier CB if Routt agrees to restructure.

January 15th, 2012 at 6:31 am
Not sure why people were saying the Saints went to the Prevent D (or the Breshanan D as it was called).
That pass to Davis on the sidelines came on a 7 person blitz, no safety over the top, complete single coverage.
And to his credit, Alex Smith tossed a perfect pass.
January 15th, 2012 at 6:34 am
Ohio State actually started playing Pryor at WR at times, especially in the red zone when they would throw fades to him. I think he caught 1 or 2 of them.
Basically, it was portrayed as a way to put some film out there for him, since playing QB in the NFL didn’t seem like a reality.

===========================
Yeah, i was thinking they restructure, and begin a process of Greening that Raider defense.
in the 3-4 run by the Pack, they would utilize five defensive backs. (using the4-2-5) I think the draft would include
another big corner
another big safety
a LB that can pass rush or cover
of course, an NT
pass rush LB
right tackle
now, we have a tall, but not big corner – Van Dyke
a big safety – Mitchell – similar to how Pack uses Morgan Burnett
but lack and LB that can pass rush or is good in coverage.
on offense, you see the ability to create coverage problems with two factors;
a big TE that can get down field – like Jimmy Graham or Jermichael Finley
a fast-RB that is elusive and can catch out of the backfield – Darren Sproles/Danny Woodhead
i believe the shopping list could be forming along the lines of
off the top of my head; – maybe to be acquired via trading for picks.
CB Trumaine Johnson, Montana (6-2, 204)
S Kenny Tate, Maryland (6-4, 220)
LB Tank Carder, TCU 6-2, 235
NT Dontari Poe, Memphis 6-5, 350
RT Mitchell Schwartz, RT, Cal – 6-5,324
RB Cyrus Gray, RB, Texas A&M 5-10, 200 (although Taiwan Jones, could fill this role)
Rush LB Brandon Lindsey, Pitt 6-2, 250
depth
DE Ryan Van Bergen, DE, Michigan
above is very early list; there will be tons following the combine, pro days, individual workouts, and sleeper UDFA’s. Im sure Reggie Mac will have hundreds of unknown prospects from “his people”.
FA – real cheap..well, relatively cheap
NT Brandon McKinney , Ravens – can play end or nt in a 3-4, some exp in 4-3
LB Ahmad Brooks – can set the edge, could pony up for Jarret Johnson
RT Trai Essex, Breno Giacomini, Adam Snyder (yes, from the Niners)
i believe decisions on re-signs are
RB Michael Bush
S Tyvon Branch
C Samson Satele
S Matt Giordano

I’d like to see the Raiders use Reece not only out of the backfield, but also start using him the way the Saints use Graham and the 49ers use Davis.
January 15th, 2012 at 8:45 am
I don’t have a problem with Kevin Boss’ contract, per say, I have a problem that the Raiders decided to pay him that much only to never use him.
He’s a VERY good blocker and a big red zone target. Yet somehow he was never on the field… and lo and behold, the Raiders struggled run blocking off the right side and scoring in the red zone.
January 15th, 2012 at 8:47 am
The more I think about it, the more I really like the idea of Todd Bowles as HC and Mike Nolan as DC.
Secondary will improve, pass rush will improve, and Mike Nolan has been a head coach before so he would be an invaluable asset to a first-year HC.

I like Boss as a player, but when guys like Graham and Gronkowski are making 20% of what we are paying him, you have to draw the line.
These horrible contracts are affecting our ability to compete.
When guys like CJ37 get hurt, we have no depth. It is either rookies or guys off the street.

January 15th, 2012 at 10:05 am
JFB,
Eactly right about the contracts. If this was a world without salary caps…then it might not matter as much. But because of the salary cap, the dollars paid matter a lot.
The Raiders have to get the least amount of production for the dollars paid.
I mean, guys like DMAC..even Carson Palmer will be making $12M next year.
Paper thin depth…and having to rely on mid round picks to compensate for the lack of production from so-called stars!

Well they’re paid that way because their teams found them through the draft. In a couple seasons, when those guys’ contracts are expiring? Look for them to make far, far more than $5 million a season.

This won’t change until we start winning. Can’t get a discount from good players when we’re always watching the playoffs on TV. Until then, Reggie is going to have to do a bangup job scouting “rookies and guys of the street”. That’s supposed to be his calling card, so we’ll see.

January 15th, 2012 at 10:38 am
“Good return on investment?
Seymour
Wimbley

Boss”
Boss will be gone we have 4 TE’s on the roster and Meyers did just as well at 1/2 the price.
Wimbly will have to restructure and he should know that is coming.
Seymour is so secure there is no way we can get rid of him he is here next year no question.
Barnes needs to go he sucks
Carlisle will come back even if he is replaced by a younger player he is worth keeping for one or 2 more years as a backup and he is cheap
Satele gets man handled at the LOS at times is our weakest link I will be interested to see what we do if there is no Center taken in the draft…or we draft a Guard and move Wiz to Center
Palmer is here for the long haul he is your Oakland Raiders QB for the next 3 or 4 years get used to it.
Curry is great when the play is in front of him but if he has to turn his hips he sucks ass and that’s why Seattle let him go….HOWEVER he has a motor and it is always running full force hits hard plays 60 minutes great energy I wish they all played with that kind of enthusiasm.
CJ was not healthy enough to get a good look at to see whats there and we are so thin at CB I doubt he goes anywhere until camp and we can see the 80 players there at that time.

January 15th, 2012 at 10:57 am
Seymour could play for 3 more years as a 3-4 DE.
Not out of the question for the GM to extend his contract to cut down the per year amount.
I think Seymour has a 7 million dollar roster bonus and a base salary of 7.

January 15th, 2012 at 11:39 am
As JFB discussed in his early post…pay for production matters.
The Raiders have no business being as bad as they are on defense with the payouts being made…damn the scheme. Five players that they felt were the best at their respective positions….and we get a horrendous run defense, 99 yard drives..and a bunch of sacks during Peanutbutter & Jelly time.
January 15th, 2012 at 11:42 am
I don’t blame Al Davis for those contracts either.
Those players need to get some pride and live up to the expectations placed on their shoulders.
The Raider defense lacks the hustle, effort and discipline that you are seeing from other defenses that are playing right now

The raiders will not regress we will be better the new GM can’t gut this team because of the salaries some of these guys make and we can’t take the cap hits if we cut them so Reggie will have to gradually bring in his own guys and I think that is a good thing bcuz imo we are only a few players away from being SB contenders.
January 15th, 2012 at 12:30 pm
I was on the fence on that issue which I am rarely not when it comes to opinions out of words but in this one I was.
On one hand Hue overcame a ton of adversity with Injuries the passing of Al, McClain’s bust, trades for Palmer Curry. Lets face it he had a lot on his plate and he tried to do it all. For that I would see where some people would want to give him one more year.
On the other hand breaking the penalty record on flags and yardage shows he could not instill discipline. He was busy doing an espn article while his QB was asking for face time. He had multiple blunders including game clock management, not knowing Tyvon Branch can return punts was strange.
Maybe Mark felt the way I felt, on the fence, so Reggie became the deciding factor as they claimed in the presser.
The bigger question is who can replace him that can help us take the division next year?
If it was me I would chose Rob Chudinski

Did you see that Hail Mary from Yates in the end zone and Ray Lewis was there defending yes a MLB was in pass coverage.
There were a lot of people screaming at Chucky B for have McClain deep in pass coverage in a similar situation.
January 15th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
That ZBS blocking system by the Texans gave up 0 sacks, and way more rushing yards than the Ravens typically give up.
Time to go back to the ZBS, which the Packers run BTW.
January 15th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
Well Ed Reed was there to cover for Ray Lewis like a real good safety is supposed to be.
Where was safety help when megatron cought those balls where McClain was all alone?

***************************************
Wow you people are so short sighted. These stats are just stats. Its how about the impact the WR position makes on this team when they’re on the field now. Especially when you consider where we came from just 2 or 3 years ago.
When these players you mentioned here are on the field and healthy, they are HUGE factors to the success of our offense.
Why cant you see this or take the blinders off?
Not everyone is Calvin Johnson. And that’s not what we’re claiming. The point is, these receivers are very good for being so young, and relatively unheralded. Ford and Moore were mid to low draft picks.
and DHB was written off as the worst pick in NFL history before he ever stepped foot on the field! Look how far he’s come! From 9 catches and a complete joke to basically a 1000 yard receiver with nothing but turmoil and injuries in this offense surrounding him this year!
We were still top 10 in this offense happy NFL!
Wake up!
These young players are very good. They just need continuity and a full season of health!
Objectivity people.

January 15th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
303-Boyd was standing right there watching,thats where the safety was.
January 15th, 2012 at 1:30 pm
No one will ever admit this, but the reason we sucked was because the team wasn’t happy. Look at all the teams winning in the post season. Happy teams. Our Raider players weren’t happy, even thought they are making millions, just weren’t happy. Go fcking figure.
Bullies aren’t happy people. If Hue said he wanted to build a team of happy people, we’d easily been in the post season. But no, we build the anti-happy players.
No happy = no play. Was evident, no one can deny this. People that can’t admit our players weren’t happy are just kidding themselves.
Did Chuck B ever look happy this season? Fck no, thats why our defense had a bad odor. Players need their coaches to be happy.
January 15th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
Doesn’t Chuck and the other defensive coaches contract’s expire today?
January 15th, 2012 at 1:35 pm
Boyd sucks.
My point was ED Reed, a GReat safety.why was Boyd even In the game? Where was Huff at 8 million a year….
Putting in Boyd just another bad coaching decision by Bresnanhan….
January 15th, 2012 at 1:35 pm
I would agree in a sense with #1237.
Not sure if it was because they weren’t “happy”, but the toughest challenge for a HC is getting all 53 guys to be all in, and give 110% every play, every weekend.
EVERYBODY IN THE LEAGUE, gives close to 100%, or maybe even 100%. But you have to give that last little bit consistantly.
Last years team clearly didn’t, especially the end of the year in some of those no-shows.
I think McKenzie viewed that as a major strike against the HC.
January 15th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Just realized the Raiders have no QB coach.
January 15th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
Holy cow the Ravens acted like the Raiders in terms of stupidity from the coaching staff today!!!!
On another note, do we play the Texans next year? That is a bad mofo offense with Mario coming back next year. They owned the Balt O line today.

January 15th, 2012 at 1:53 pm
I can understand your distain for Gio,after all he was the only defensive player to actually make game changing plays regularly on our team.Not a burner.Didn’t lay guys out.Just a football player.
January 15th, 2012 at 1:56 pm
“Bresnanhan is horrible and the schemes and position he put his players in we’re worse….”
Sloppy tackling, the inability to shed blocks, missed gap assignments, and poor angles on defense are the problem.
I blame poor coaching and the lack of desire, effort and film study by some players for this.
So no matter what “Scheme” you put in as a coach you are not going to get results until the above mentioned fundamentals are instilled in your defense. .
January 15th, 2012 at 1:58 pm
Pack D does give up a lot of yards, but we would be crazy not to jump at Capers for HC.
Every snap is damn near a different look.
And they run this 2-4-5 beautifully.
He knows how to scheme teams with the talent he has.
January 15th, 2012 at 1:59 pm
I like Gio he is a little green but he sure did hustle and give 100% out there. What he lacks in talent he makes up for in hard work.
If the other 10 guys on defense hustled like Gio we would have been in Boston yesterday not Denver.
January 15th, 2012 at 1:59 pm
Injuries are always gonna be an issue at some point.
What we lacked was depth.
Al didn’t t leave us with great depth in the secondary.

On another note, do we play the Texans next year? That is a bad mofo offense with Mario coming back next year. They owned the Balt O line today.
—————————
The Texans defense looked good for sure. But not sure I would call it a “mad mofo offense”. Foster was great, but the passing game was pretty bad.
The Raiders do not play Houston next season. They do play the Ravens, however.
January 15th, 2012 at 2:03 pm
JFB,
Agreed. Would love to have Capers come in as HC.
Question: If that happened … Would you welcome Clements as OC & Perry as DC?
ppl keep saying Winston Moss as DC, but I don’t think that’s an upgrade from Asst HC, is it?
January 15th, 2012 at 2:05 pm
Chuck was good enough to take us to the playoffs?
Am I missing something here?
You mean Chck Bresnanhan? They guy who’s defense gave up the 2nd most points in Raiders history.
The guy who’s defense was up in 4 games I the 4th quarter and lost all 4?
The guy who’s defense let Detroit and SD go 99 plus yards in like 45 seconds?
Is there another Chuck B I’m not aware of?

Look at what Wade P did in Houston and I believe they added Joseph and most of the team was the same AND they lost Williams.

The Texans have better players on defense. Even Wade wouldn’t be able to do anything with this cast of jokers led by Rolando.
I mean look at him:
http://bossip.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/raiders-mcclain-arrest-photo.jpg
He really is a gawddam joker.
January 15th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Wade P just didn’t come in and change the “Scheme” and instantly there were better, sorry you a little short sided if you think that.
He worked with them to be better tacklers, better to pass coverage, simplified some schemes to let aggressive guys hit gaps easier, taught guys how to shed blocks quicker….then installed a “Scheme” that would fit his players.
There is a lot that more than just drawing up some X’s and O’s on a chalk board to make a defense good.
January 15th, 2012 at 2:07 pm
I’d rather have 11 Gios starting,than 11 talented guys whose main concern is just showing up and collecting a check.
January 15th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
What I was trying to say is that Wade Phillips with basically the same squad instilled a scheme that fit his players.
I have to believ all defenses coaches teach there guys proper technique and tackling.
Dude knows defense.
We need a d coach like that.
January 15th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Did you see that missed tackle the guy went for the big hit and Knick’s scored.
You have to wrap a guy up.
Are you going to blame the Pakcer’s “scheme” they had in on that play or was it the safety’s fault for not using his arms to wrap Knick’s up like his coach has told him to do I would bet.

Did you see that Hail Mary from Yates in the end zone and Ray Lewis was there defending yes a MLB was in pass coverage.
There were a lot of people screaming at Chucky B for have McClain deep in pass coverage in a similar situation.
————————————————————————————————————–
Just like Al Davis’ defenses got criticized year after year for relying on the 4 man front to provide pressure and no blitz. Well that’s all the Giants do and they get praised for it.
We been screaming for the blitz. Like the one that Greg Williams employed on Alex Smith yesterday on the last play.
It just comes down to players making plays. When they do DC’s get praised and better jobs. When it doesn’t work, DC’s get lambasted.
With that said. Fire Chuck B. despite all that I just mentioned. Was just sayin.
January 15th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
So Dom Capers has a lifetime losing record.
Lots of talent in GB, lots of formations, yet D sucks and has lots of penalties.
And that’s who Raider fans want?
Sigh
January 15th, 2012 at 2:13 pm

hue jackson got a raw deal. he shoulda never been moved from his off coordinator spot . coulda been a great one 4 years. i just wonder what it will take to satisfy raider fans next season .. if we start off 4 – 5 will all ya say fire whomever the coach is ???
the dolphins should be tryna hire hue jackson and we need 2 be lookin at mike noalan
also, mckenzie best be on the phone with seattle tryna trade carson palmer for a 2nd rounder . and trade kam wimbley to any team for a 3rd rounder . and i doubt anybody wants him but trade mike huff for a s5th round pick or a decent cornerback now !!!
January 15th, 2012 at 2:16 pm
I know this for sure;
With Reggie coming in and evaluating talent, getting a real d coordinator, our defense HAS to get better! It can’t be any worse, can it?
Also, outside of losing Nmandi, how does anyone explain going form the 11th ranked Defense to allowing 433 points?

Yes, I said after that Miami game that how this team finished should determine his future.
The pathetic look of this team down the stretch and its inability to even fight in the last game with everything on the line said all that needed to be said.
Also, I did not…and do not…like the CP deal. Hue was talking like this was a team ready to “win now” and it wasn’t even close…his bombastic speech and media hoarding was pitiful.
Did nothing to get involved in a struggling defense.
His offenses also went dark in the 2nd half of games.
Raiders can do better.

“Also, outside of losing Nmandi, how does anyone explain going form the 11th ranked Defense to allowing 433 points?”
When both of your late round rookie draft pick CB’s are asked to become NFL starters because of injury and then they too get injured and you are forced to bring Lito Sheppard out of retirement and Gio from the practice squad and they become starters……your chances of success with those kind of obstacles are very slim.

No to your 1st question.
and no the Raiders did not have the talent to get to the AFC Championship game either.
Hue traded those draft picks and said all that noise.
His team broke the record for penalties
He was the one doing ESPN spreads and believing the hype instead of keeping his mouth shut and getting the team ready
And any team that runs out of gas at the end losing to inferior teams like Hue’s suggests he is not a leader of men.
He’s a decent offensvie coordinator with no track record of excellence to rely on.
To be fair, if Al was still the GM, then by all means you keep Hue.
But we have a chance to get a better head coach and I don’t think Hue is a top tier head coach or candidate

No one will ever admit this, but the reason we sucked was because the team wasn’t happy. Look at all the teams winning in the post season. Happy teams. Our Raider players weren’t happy, even thought they are making millions, just weren’t happy. Go fcking figure.
Bullies aren’t happy people. If Hue said he wanted to build a team of happy people, we’d easily been in the post season. But no, we build the anti-happy players.
No happy = no play. Was evident, no one can deny this. People that can’t admit our players weren’t happy are just kidding themselves.
Did Chuck B ever look happy this season? Fck no, thats why our defense had a bad odor. Players need their coaches to be happy.

There were plenty of reasons to not like Hue. But I agree with you about Moss and Capers. I’m not too thrilled about either. One is an unproven positions coach. The other is a proven loser as a head coach.
I’ve said all along I want the Raiders to look to the colleges to find their next head coach. I would like an Art Briles type.
But no matter who they bring in, I’ll give them the benefit of a doubt and wait until we see what happens on the field.

January 15th, 2012 at 3:14 pm
McKenzie lacks confidence to go outside his little circle of buddies. This D is TERRIBLE.
Imagine these D coaches with our LOWER talent?!?!?!?!
January 15th, 2012 at 3:15 pm
Edward
32nd ranked D.
That’s all the stats you need.
We can do better. McKenzie won’t go outside his comfort zone.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:15 pm
I’m more worried about our players than a HC. We have a lot of scrubs and meal tickets with no heart running around wearing the silver and black. No amount of coaching can help those guys. It’s the players and they are all on notice.
I said yesterday that the Giants will win today and that Moss will be announced the new HC on Wed.
How about that, two ex-Raider linebackers running the show. I can dig it.

Yeah. We really need the Packer D staff just because Reggie knows them. Eli will expose them today.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
Why would we go after an unproven HC anyways seems stupid when we were so close. Hue had a problem with penalties yes and his defense(or should we say ALS) was pretty terrible but the offense was going to be special. Look at the teams in the playoffs half of them have terrible defenses and great offenses. The idea of bringing in some no name coach to get this thing turned is ludacris this whole thing will be a disaster unless we get. A cower or gruden type couch

Out of there D coaches Moss is the only one I would be fine with as HC, Im pretty sure he would hire a DC to call plays and hopefully not from GB
January 15th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
Alex,
Weird that stat on the Packers penalty.
All kinds of articles on the Packers having less penalties than STanford Routt.
Just google it, articles from Gutierrez, ESPN and yahoo all confirming it.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
If Packers D struggled with penalties,
and that’s a huge knock on Hue and Raiders
why would Moss be an upgrade?
Safe, uninspiring, downwards hire.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
Watching good teams play makes me realize just how far the Raiders are from being competitive. I just don’t agree with those in here that say we are “close”.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:28 pm
Can someone tell me WHY THE HELL this moss guy is a good candidate for HC. Please help me to understand this I can’t understand why
January 15th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
JFB
Routt was an anomoly, lol, ridiculous # of penalties. Packers D on the WHOLE struggled with penalties, even if secondary wasn’t as bad as Routt.
That’s not saying much.
Why not just give Nolan $5 million a year and be done with it, when you give average players that much.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
I am so worried if the Packers lose and we bring over some of their staff after the loss I wonder just because if they come to Oakland can they shake this loss???????
They’ll report to Alemeda with their heads hung low because they lost to the Giants. The Packer D is not that good. Are we waiting to bring on some of the Packer assistants? I thought the new head coach got to pick. Not that there is a lot out there.
Are the Packers D coaches distracted by the thought of coming to Oakland and going to inadvertanly allow Manning to shred them? Don’t like it.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:29 pm
Packers D gives up some yards but they do seem to “typically” hustle and play tougher, which would be an improvement.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:30 pm

Every other website I see, says the Packers had only 76 penalties for 596 yards, for the entire team, which led the NFL.

Quick question, who do you feel they should hire?
January 15th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
I think we are close, we just need are playmakers to stay healthy. You must of forgot how we looked wiht a healthy DMC and company.

All this talk about hiring a “proven” NFL coach, but all I hear is Gruden, Cowher, etc.
Since those guys aren’t coming back to coach, and I don’t forsee any playoff teams firing their head coaches, I’m just wondering if those of you clamoring for that have any real-world ideas or if you’re just throwing up on your keyboards.

According to NFL.com, the Raiders committed 163 offensive penalties and 120 defensive penalites, lol.
Their numbers on penalties is wrong.
LMAO at ACTUALLY thinking the Packers had 122 defensive penalties.
Dude, they would have been right there setting NFL records for penalties.

Because Hue Jackson was a media whore that tried to usurp more power over the team than he deserved while his team waas going 1-4 down the stretch and failing to make the playoffs, that’s why.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:44 pm
Packers led the NFL in turnovers created and 15th in points per game allowed.
Also was the least penalized defense in football (fact).
I’ll take that every week and twice on Sundays.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:45 pm
Rex is a media whore and had his team in the afc championship game two years in a row plus look at the schedule the last 5 games a few were really good teams plus we were working in a new qb and were never healthy NEVER
January 15th, 2012 at 3:46 pm
Morilla
if I have to pick a coach now, it would AGAIN be an up-and-coming Offense mind.
Penalties will subdue when fewer Al-drafted-lowIQ players are around.
Rob Chudzinski from the Panthers, a Saints or Patriots assistant. SOMEONE WHO HAS PROVEN SOME TYPE OF ABILITY that’s better than most coaches’ ability.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:46 pm
Packers were 5th in total defense in 2010.
Dom Capers will be our next HC, and will take us to the playoffs.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
It wasn’t just that we went 1-4,it was an ugly 1-4 against teams we should have beat.It was going 1-4 fighting for the division title and wild-card with the players seemingly in the I don’t give a sh!t mode.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Bringing Capers wouldn’t make sense. And it would bring serious questions to McKenzies so called “talent evaluator” skills. I think Moss is a more realistic option, regardless of whether you approve of him or not. I personally don’t know. He does have a good resume, but I just don’t know if he would be a good HC.
Truth is, right now we have no idea of how this will turn out, and frankly, we won’t know until the season starts. No matter who is brought in.
Some names are obviously better than others, but a lot falls on the players ability to execute the plays. So until we see who is coaching what and how the players are handled, we won’t really know where this team is going to be.
At the least, this will be a very interesting off-season. Al always used to make a big signing every off-season, so it will be interesting to see that trend continues.
Just bring in good people, football people. People that know how to put a team together, and that are hard workers. Smart people that know football. That is all we ask.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Edward
were the Raiders SUPPOSED to beat the Packers or Dolphins? You know how we historically do in east coast games.
Were we THAT good? While our D was giving up 32 points PER game those last 5 weeks?
January 15th, 2012 at 3:49 pm

we were underdogs vs LIONS, PACKERS, and DOLPHINS.
We should have beat them? Only in fans’ blinded eyes.

You said it yourself. Rex had his team in the AFC championship game two years in a row. He also didn’t try and take over the franchise. His teams (just like Green Bay’s last year) had their share of injuries as well.
Oh, and they played some pretty good teams, too. lol
January 15th, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Hue said it himself he just wanted to be able to bring in his staff which is what most coaches do if hue REALLY maybe and this is maybe Al Davis filled hues head with the notion that he would have a huge reign on the team which I doubt I really think the guy just wanted to have a say in his staff. And you can’t blame him for wanting to help hire the new gm cause look what happened when he didn’t his a$$ is in the unemployment line
January 15th, 2012 at 3:50 pm
I want GB to lose so we can atleast start our coach search, obviously Reggie is waiting to interview those guys.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:51 pm
Teach …. Did those teams lose ther gm best player and starting qb I think not and the notion that hue wanted to control all things raiders is comical
January 15th, 2012 at 3:52 pm

Al had prepped Hue to have a bigger say in hiring coaches, roster management, etc.
Hue had a passion to get better coaches and smarter, tougher players.
Mark didn’t care for Al’s plans.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:55 pm

Some of you guys are still butt-hurt about Jackson getting fired. Sorry for your loss, lol.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:55 pm
It is too bad Routt isn’t allowed to play his position like other CBs around the league.He would be one of the best.Just watched Rolle face guard a WR without turning his head with his lower hand touching his mid-section and no flag.Guaranteed its a penalty against poor Stan.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:56 pm
no, we’re just not inspired by Moss and his Packers 31st-ranked D, and no HC experience.
Not sure how that’s going to be BETTER.
What can Moss do? At least with the last guy, we KNEW he could put up points.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:57 pm
to be fair, Lefty
face-guarding is no longer a penalty, as of 2005 or so.
Routt has some UGLY penalties and some touchy ones. We don’t have the reputation of a tough D that can get away with that yet.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:00 pm
The only game we should have lost in our last 5 was GB.We should have beaten Mia,Det,SD and KC.Alias,your whiners weren’t favored yesterday,shouldn’t they have lost because they weren’t favored?
January 15th, 2012 at 4:00 pm
EMraider….. Your right a lot is on how the players preform but think about this…..Before hue got here ther was a huge majority that said DMC sucked and we should run him off and until the injury was having a MVP type year…. Our offensive line was our weakest spot on the team and this year was one of the strongest….. That DHB was a total bust and should be lynched when in fact he was one of our better WR this year….. And cambell although not great was actually playing pretty good in the beginning of the year as far as td/ int ratio our OFFENSIVE minded head coach did wonders with the offense and got shafted with AL DAVISIS defense and will always be held liable for it
January 15th, 2012 at 4:02 pm

Also ranked 32nd in D

And teach it sounds like you have more faith in an unproven anybody than hue yeah I’m still but hurt but it ain’t gonna change sh!!!t just flabbergasted that y’all can bag on someone that did more in his time than any coach we’ve had for the last 10 years
January 15th, 2012 at 4:05 pm
no, face-guarding (by definition not turning your head) was removed as a penalty a few years back.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:06 pm
WHY WERE we underdogs vs Packers, Lions, and Dolphins?
Because two of those teams are flat-out better than us, and the other matched-up well vs our one-dimensional offense on the east coast.
No reason we SHOULD HAVE won any of those games, other than fan-desire.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:06 pm
Hue was a good coach. Not great, but good. He did turn this offense around, helped DMac become an elite RB, and almost had us in the playoffs this year. All those things are true. But he also had some downs. The penalty issue, the questionable calls, and if the rumor that some players were starting to lose confidence on him is true, than that is 3 big reasons for worry.
The fact is that even though he was one of the best coaches we had in recent memory, he wasn’t the best choice out there. And now that a new GM was brought in it was very likely he would be gone. Should he have gotten another year? Maybe. But if we would have gotten the same results, we would have lost a year with the new GM.
It is what it is, and we might be better off for it. But we won’t know until we see who the HC will be and who will he surround himself with. Plus don’t forget, there’s a big chance there might be a fire sale of players in order to get picks and free up cap space for free agents. But all that won’t be done without the HC. So if GB does lose today, and we do hire one of their coaches, we might get all these questions answered sooner than later.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:08 pm
Not looking good for us finding a coach better than Hue none of the candidates excite me at all. Its gonna be another classic raider moment when Hue comes back with another team an goes 98 yards on for a game winning TD.

perry fewell for HC
January 15th, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Face it, folks. The team regressed. Hue kept making the same mistakes over and over, the team didn’t perform down the stretch and not only did they not WIN the division, they were in position to win it and LOST it. That reflects very poorly on the head coach.
Yeah, I’ll take my chances on someone new. Maybe the new guy can get us over the hump.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Perry Feweel for DC, not HC.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
Someone compare Hue with recent rookie head coaches in Minnesota (3-13), Carolina (4-12), the Rams, and Browns.
Harbaugh is the only one better.
He got to pick his own coaches.

January 15th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
Alex, true about Harbaugh, and that is one reason it would have been interesting to see what Hue would’ve done with one more year and his coaches. But that is all what ifs and could’ve beens.
I personally wouldn’t have minded seeing Hue one more year with a better DC. But is he really the best choice for a HC? That is an arguable question. Let’s just see who is brought in and who he brings in as assistants and then we can start complaining about how Hue would have been much better.

Or maybe that was better OL blocking and having a legitimate QB that helped DMac.
Funny how some of you guys give Hue all the credit for an offense that finally rid itself of Jamarcus Russell. When your offense is no longer held back by a cough syrup binging, lazy fatfk, of course everything gets a lot better.
Hue had nothing to do with that.

I trust this guy and he is innocent until proven guilty!
January 15th, 2012 at 4:21 pm
I guess McCarthy is “best”, but yeah, when what you have is “good enough” for the playoffs (assuming a non-30th-ranked D), the grass isn’t always greener.
Giants D coaches would have my vote.
Patriots O assistants too.
Saints O assistants.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:21 pm
Ive heard nothing that would throw up a red flag as to McKenzies talent for Evaluating talent…
I think he’s gonna implement a plan and the coach he picks problably won’t be a high profile coach but will be a guy who’s bought into McKenzies vision on how to run an NFL team and get them to compete …..
January 15th, 2012 at 4:21 pm
When a DB makes contact and doesn’t make a play on the ball and sticks his other hand in a WRs face it is a penalty.That is what the Giant DB did.Face guard,make contact ,and not make a play on the ball=PI according to the rules.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:22 pm
Raiding Texas
DMac himself gave Hue credit for running plays DMac was comfortable with (for a change), and turning his career around.
JC and no-name WRs shouldn’t get you the #5 NFL offense no matter how you spin it.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:23 pm
yes Lefty, that’s called pass interference. Not looking back for the ball (face guarding) no longer a penalty on its own.

Figers good point
January 15th, 2012 at 4:27 pm
If I remember correctly it was DMac who stated that one of the first things Hue did was go up to him and ask him what type of plays he liked most, and that he would add those plays into the playbook. Hue does deserve some credit for that move, no?
And of course any other QB was better than JR. Aaron Brooks was better than JR.
You might not think Hue had anything to do with the improvement on O, but I do. Now whether that was because any improvement would have been noticeable compared to what the O was before or not, is something else, but it is still improvement. And just as much as Hue gets heat for his downfalls, he deserves credit for the good things he did as well.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:27 pm
Read what I said -he face guarded AND MADE CONTACT WITH HIS OTHER ARM.If it had been Routt they would have called it.That is why you are so phucking annoying.You ignore parts or most of peoples comments.That is also why you are such an a$$hole.

Wow what a terrible call on the giants the NFL is trying to help the packers
January 15th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Packers down 3 scores. Over.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Did Rodgers just give a first-down sign? Toolish.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:34 pm
I’m NOT a Niner fan but that game yesterday was one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Reminds me of some old Raider last minute games.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:35 pm
Edward we had the worst DC in the league if it wasn’t for the D we would have been 12-4. Some of you guys on this blog just don’t know football. Hue did a great jo for what he had to work with.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:36 pm
SF vs NY will be a war (old school).

Hey! Eastoaklandraider
congrats on automatically being one of the smarter posters in here
It isn’t that hard huh?
Hue + Dennis Thurman (who he wanted to bring in) = dominant team.

Edward
were the Raiders SUPPOSED to beat the Packers or Dolphins? You know how we historically do in east coast games.
Were we THAT good? While our D was giving up 32 points PER game those last 5 weeks?
====================================================
Apparently SOMEONE did…..
Raiders coach Hue Jackson wants his players to understand that they are here to win a Super Bowl title, period. And nothing is going to prevent Jackson from doing whatever it takes to make sure the team keeps moving toward that goal.
Trading for linebacker Aaron Curry and Carson Palmer, inserting Curry into the starting lineup and benching Quentin Groves and sacking Jerome Boyd should be taken as not-so-subtle reminders.
“What do you think?” Jackson said, when asked if he was sending a message. “No doubt. I told them, I am going to do everything I can -– the organization has backed me -– to give this team the best opportunity to win football games, and that’s all you can ask for.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:37 pm
This game shows why it is so important to have a good D. that saying, “Defense wins Championships” holds true.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:38 pm
That personal foul call was one of the worst calls ever, if Packers end up winning, that call will be right under the tuck rule for BS calls in the playoffs that changed the out come of a game.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:38 pm
Jackson rationalized the change by saying the Raiders defense was too predictable in the past. There was a need to give opposing offenses more to think about each game.
“We play a little zone every now and then but I want to mix it up,” Jackson said. “I don’t want to play the same thing all the time. It’s been pretty vanilla here in the past, and guys have kind of known how to attack us. Not that people beat us that way, but we need to get better and do things differently and give these players more opportunity to have success.”
You do the math on that one, folks.
For more evidence, we bring back coach Jackson.
“It’s something teams have a hard time with,” Jackson said. “It’s just something I truly believe in. You have to get after people. If I’m going to go down, I want to go down bombing everything. That’s just the way I feel about it. I don’t want to be sitting back watching and having people go get us. So we’ve done a good job, Chuck’s done a great job. Our personality here is changing a little bit that way, and deservedly so.”

That was horrible. So was the non fumble call in the first quarter. Even Perrera said it should have been a fumble.

The New York Jets hired Sanjay Lal to be their wide receivers coach, according to a report from NewYorkJets.com. Lal held that position with the Raiders the past five seasons.
Lal was well liked by the receivers he coached during his tenure in Oakland. He is credited with getting up to speed Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore right away, as well as for the breakout season enjoyed by Darrius Heyward-Bey this season after two subpar seasons.
Lal, 42, could not be reached for comment. Interestingly, he still is listed on the Raiders website.

Ehh
Saints, Patriots, Packers, Rams,
you can win Super Bowls when the offense carries you.
O + solid D is good enough.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Thank you for pointing that out, SnB.
For some reason Hue is not held accountable for the entire team’s performance, even though by his own admission he was involved on both sides of the ball.
Some are forgetting that he said publicly that he was getting more involved with the D, and spending more time working with Bresnehan and the defense. In case no one noticed, it didn’t work.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
NY wants this game more than GB. Congrats to NY. They finished the game.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Can u believe the fking niners are gonna play at home for a chance to go to the SB. Sickening.

There should be some NYGiants coaches on the interview list. Perhaps the DC.
Team runs the ball, can pass, play excellent defense….win on the road…tough…overcome adversity….and not staffed with check cashers.
Good on them
Let’s not be in a rush to grab the 1st packer coach available.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:47 pm

I’d like to see you get “more involved” with an illiterate person, and then we’ll hold you accountable for the progress in a few weeks.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
Who wants some media hound for a head coach that can’t even deliver. That’s what Madden and Wolf saw too.
Very important to make the next hire the right one….full THOROUGH search please
January 15th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
gb d sucks..i hope reggie has some common sense
January 15th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
solid D = Good D.
you don’t have to have a great D, but at the very least a “solid” or good D.
Or at least someone that can force a punt in a game…lol (SD game)

49ers caught a huge break.
If I am Reggie, I may seriously consider removing Dom Capers from my list of potential coaching candidates.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:51 pm
Well, I guess we will find out next week who the candidates from GB will be.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:51 pm
ET,what it boils down to is HJ was named coach by Al Davis.Davis is no longer with us.A new GM was hired.When new GMs come in they bring in their own guys.McKenzie wants someone he feels comfortable with.That is what this is about.It isn’t necessarily about HJ.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Ravens vs. Pats > Pats
49ers vs. NY > NY
Pats vs. NY > Pats
Hate to see the Pats win but that’s my sense of the final result. Brady was an absolute machine yesterday.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:53 pm
I don’t remember seeing a playoff weekend with so many turnovers…… Tons of int’s and fumbles
January 15th, 2012 at 4:54 pm
Really McKenzie wants one of the GBs Defensive unit for the HC position, man might as well keep CHuck, their defense is HORRIBLE.

January 15th, 2012 at 4:56 pm
New Orleans, Atlanta and Green Bay will be looking to upgrade those defenses……
Giants, Ravens and 49ers…..have defenses that will help their teams win….as opposed to “not losing” the game

January 15th, 2012 at 4:58 pm
I agree, Lefty.
It’s just that Hue didn’t do a whole lot to improve his chances, is all (especially with the playoffs on the line). I think it’s as much about his overall performance as a head coach as it is RM wanting his guy.
I can understand a little why some feel he got a raw deal. I’m just tired of the empty bluster, No need to go into what that was; it’s been rehashed in here a thousand times.
January 15th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
For all the Hue bashers how’s that coach search going feel good about it? Now that the pack is done all you Moss lovers must feel good huh? That D looked pretty good huh? Winston Moss Man please!
January 15th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
I wonder if capers will get fired. Someones heads got to roll.

Lefty,
I think the major obstacle was Hue was his contract that gave him direct reporting to the owner and I don’t think Hue wanted to give up that access. That would be a BIG problem for the new GM.
Hue did some dumb stuff but he also did many good things. I thought he presented a god face for the Raiders but here was no doubt going to be personality clashes between Hue & Reggie if he stayed. Hue, without a doubt wanted personnel payer control and Reggie is not having any of that Hopefully whoever he picks keeps Al Saunders and the offense we already have designed. Just fix the D by going 3-4 and adding a new DC & a couple of key players. We should be good to go.
I noticed that both Sterling Moore & Hagen play well for Pats. Letting those two go was a bad decision on Hue’s part, Just my opinion.
January 15th, 2012 at 5:02 pm
Wasn’t Gillbride on the list last year?

Here is a name I’m throwing out for HC
Perry Fewell
He is the current DC for the NY Giants. He has served as DC on a few team and they have always done well statistically.
He also served as interim HC for the Bills to finish out 2009 season. He was 3-4 as a head coach.
He has been with the Giants since then.
Hope he is on Reggie’s radar.
….
If Giants get to/or win the Super Bowl this guy will get a shot to coach somewhere.
Has that defense playing great right now.
