Yeah The W’s are getting it together now, huh?
February 14th, 2012 at 10:25 am
They are ballin, could easily be 7-0 instead of 5-2. Udoh is starting to get him game dialed in. M Jackson knows how to use his bench. If Kwame was in the mix we might be .500 or better.
February 14th, 2012 at 10:27 am
Let’s go Dubs!
What a slap in the face to not even invite Thompson to the rookie-sophmore game.
That’s cool though, I’m sure he’ll use it as motivation.
Klay Thompson = future star in the NBA
David Lee got snubbed from the All-Star game.

Need to practice looking interested with the admin ladies during their Vday lunch today while reading the Raiders chat – kind of like the commercial. That dirty b@$t@rd Cork is gonna get us in trouble
February 14th, 2012 at 10:27 am
Rush, Udoh, Thompson, and Robinson is such a upgrade of what we’ve had here in the past. Our subs can actually win a game for us! Curry is going to tweak that ankle again before its all said and done.
February 14th, 2012 at 10:27 am
Many were snubbed form the all star game…to me its useless these days…
February 14th, 2012 at 10:28 am
Klay got off to a slow start so I’m not surprised but he is going to be VERY solid. Was he a 2nd or 1st round pick?

We don’t have the draft picks to waste replacing a guy who is fine.
Comparing Branch to a Polamalu isnt really fair either
***
BCZ,
who says we have to use draft picks? and what if we do?
Branch was a 4th rounder spotted by Al Davis, who always got ripped for his inability to find quality players in the draft.
We have a 5th & 6th plus 3 comp picks. If Reggie has an eye for talent and Al Davis didn’t … shouldn’t he be able to draft the next “Tyvon Branch” without paying the SS $5 or $6 million per season?
Also, it’s completely fair to compare two players at the same position if you’re paying them the same (or similar) amount of money. We’ve seen what the Steelers Defense looks like without Troy P. Do you think Branch makes that much of an impact for our pathetic defense? Not even close. Branch isn’t the difference between wins & losses!

I’m sure people want to know if the staff is complete or if we’re looking to add a few more assts.
are Hunley & Ross going to be retained or replaced?
perhaps Holland & Lynn are so much better than Biekert & Woodson that they don’t require assistants ???
Also, I’m sure Richard Seymour’s contract will be a hot topic … as well as all the interest Stan Routt has generated so far in free agency

What are we chatting about?
February 14th, 2012 at 10:43 am
RR,
How do you know we are getting 3 compensatory picks?
February 14th, 2012 at 10:50 am
Was it branch who caught the winning int. To win the game for AD.
February 14th, 2012 at 10:51 am
In addition to the 32 picks in each round, there are a total of 32 picks awarded at the ends of Rounds 3 through 7. These picks, known as “compensatory picks,” are awarded to teams that have lost more qualifying free agents than they gained the previous year in free agency. Teams that gain and lose the same number of players but lose higher-valued players than they gain also can be awarded a pick, but only in the seventh round, after the other compensatory picks. Compensatory picks cannot be traded, and the placement of the picks is determined by a proprietary formula based on the player’s salary, playing time, and postseason honors with his new team, with salary being the primary factor. So, for example, a team that lost a linebacker who signed for $2.5 million per year in free agency might get a sixth-round compensatory pick, while a team that lost a wide receiver who signed for $5 million per year might receive a fourth-round pick.
If fewer than 32 such picks are awarded, the remaining picks are awarded in the order in which teams would pick in a hypothetical eighth round of the draft (These are known as “supplemental compensatory selections”).
Compensatory picks are awarded each year at the NFL annual meeting which is held at the end of March; typically, about three or four weeks before the draft.
February 14th, 2012 at 10:51 am
No, it was Huff!
February 14th, 2012 at 10:51 am
Lets hope we loose bush and he earns us a pic for 2013
February 14th, 2012 at 10:51 am
Dakoda,we can compare Branch with this years Polamalu but they must switch teams to really see the comparison in full effect.I think you,ll be shocked.
February 14th, 2012 at 10:53 am
The W’s subs are better than its starters down the stretch. Sad but true. The W’s 2nd stringers remind me of the Knicks 2nd stringers now. Team play ALWAYS BEAT me play.

****************
We have 2 draft picks and we assume we are getting some late round compensatory picks, but that is never a guarantee, again why waste a pick on a player that ‘could’ be as good as Branch (he also ‘could’ be so crappy he makes mike mitchell look like a stud) when you already have branch? Im not saying give the guy a Nnamdi style contract, but he should be a priority, and my opinion warrants the use of a franchise tag (btw, safety is the second cheapest tag out there, only kickers have a lower tag #)
February 14th, 2012 at 10:54 am
Compensatory Draft Selections Based on the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement:
A team is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks if it is determined that they lost more or better players than they were able to acquire during the previous year’s free agency period. The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents (maximum of four).
Compensatory free agents are determined by a formula that was developed by the NFL Management Council. Not every free agent lost or signed by a team is covered by this formula.
February 14th, 2012 at 10:54 am
How many overpaid players will we cut? 4?

I’m just glad Udoh took that late game shot.
Couldn’t witness another game thrown away at the end by Monta.
February 14th, 2012 at 10:56 am
Branch is steady and reasonably cheap, we should keep him. The front 7 is the mess
February 14th, 2012 at 10:56 am
None of the FA’s we lost received any post season honors, so that puts a big damper on our potential comp picks. I still think Nnamdi nets us a 3, but miller wont get us anything because Boss cancels him out. Gallery = a 7th if we are lucky, Howard probably wont get us anything. I think realistically at this point, we are probably only looking at 1 comp pick.
February 14th, 2012 at 10:59 am
According to this information, we should get a high compensatory pick for Nnamdi, and we should also get 2 more for Gallery & Miller based on the formula. It’s hard to tell what we get for Miller since we signed Boss in FA.
February 14th, 2012 at 11:02 am
Bcz,
Salary is the most important factor. Nnamdi received a huge salary ($10 million/ year), and Gallery and Muller also received big contracts from Seattle.
February 14th, 2012 at 11:02 am

Huff & Routt didn’t look great, but they both played “better” in a contract year. the result was we gave them monster contracts.
a year later Routt is axed and with Huff it’s either restructure or get the boot as well.
you guys want to make the same mistake with Tyvon Branch ???
be my guest. I hope Reggie Mac is smarter than the media and a few semi pro bloggers. I think he is
Branch will be re-signed at a reasonable rate or he won’t be re-signed at all …

Gallery’s contract only paid him $5 mill a year max (3 year 15 mill, 5 guaranteed). Maybe a 6th round tender? He missed a lot of games too, might effect the pick

Care to make a friendly wager on what happens with Branch? You say he is resigned at a reasonable rate or walks, what is ‘reasonable’? What do you say the max is? You think he will be retained for a Maximum of $2 million or walk?
I say he will be retained, even if we have to franchise him, but for the purposes of the the friendly bet will say he makes more than $3 mill a year.
February 14th, 2012 at 11:20 am
I don’t think there is a link for that, I think Routt’s sudden departure kinda put that in play! Whether it happens or not, is all heresay!

I have a feeling that there was more to Routt being dismissed than his contract… I am just using some deductive reasoning, but it seams Routt will not own up to his issues, and that may have rubbed the new regime wrong. If it was just a monetary thing, there would have been some talk of a restructuring attempt, i think.

February 14th, 2012 at 11:23 am
RR,
I don’t think the fans that support keeping Branch want management to reward him with a huge contract, but they see the value in keeping Branch since he is the best S in FA, and he is one of our young and talented players. I agree that we should resign, but it has to be at the right price. I rather have Branch over Huff, Curry, CJ, and Henderson.
February 14th, 2012 at 11:26 am

4.5 mill a year? So we spent approximately 4 hours debating over 1.5 million dollars?
February 14th, 2012 at 11:34 am
Just heard Rich Gannon on Sirius talking about a conversation he had with Carson Palmer about the time he got to spend with Hue Jackson. Palmer said Hue was so busy with his other responsibilities that he didn’t get that much one-on-one time him. Then Gannon asked him if he thought about talking to Hue about spending more time with him and Palmer said he never really thought about that. Gannon was shocked. He’s worried about Palmer’s drive and work ethic. He thinks the Raiders should force Palmer to be in the building all summer with Knapp to male sure the guy gets it. We should all be worried.

you’re missing the point. We overpaid Huff and now most Raider fans want him gone. thats a fact.

if we tag the guy (as you suggest) his long term contract is gonna be a heck of a lot larger than 4 years, $18 million
you want to pay him $6 mil (tag amount) annually?
BCZ = Al Davis!
February 14th, 2012 at 11:36 am
Pardon the long quote below from ESPN but the reason Routt was cut is we are getting poor performance from one of the highest payrolls in football. I mean Denver split with us being 50 million under the cap and KC broke even with us being 62 million under the cap and we are 11 million over!
Based on the trend I am seeing, I will be shocked if Kelly, Curry, Henderson, Boss are resigned without drastic restructuring. I think there is going to be huge turnover on defense. How can we sign anyone without major resturcturing. Remember we don’t have Al kick the cap can down the street Davis anymore. Maybe 7-8 new starters at a price that is much more in line with performance. I do not think Seymour will be here more than one year as well. I also think Jano and Shane will be restructured or maybe released. Even Palmer may be worked with to restructure.
********************************
From ESPN – John Clayton
The long-awaited salary-cap numbers for 2012 have been computed, according to ESPN’s John Clayton.
Free agency starts March 13. Let’s look at the current numbers for each AFC West team:
Denver
Salary-cap situation: $50.735 million under.
Comment: The Broncos can do whatever they want. It begins with in-house free agents Brodrick Bunkley and Matt Prater. The new Denver regime has said it will not spend wildly just to spend, so don’t expect any crazy sprees.
Kansas City
Salary-cap situation: $62.995 million under.
Comment: Scott Pioli’s Chiefs’ has always been in good cap shape. He has been criticized for not doing much, though. Pioli has concentrated on role players. Maybe this is the year he makes a huge splash. Because of the cap room there is no reason the Chiefs can’t keep both Dwayne Bowe and Brandon Carr.
Oakland
Salary-cap situation: $11 million over.
Comment: The Raiders are one of four teams still over the cap. They will easily get under the cap, but the question is how much room will they clear up? They will need to do some things in free agency, though, because of their lack of draft picks. I think, in the end, the Raiders will be able to pick up some quality players in free agency.
San Diego
Salary-cap situation: $9.2 million under.
Comment: The Chargers can make some more room, starting with cutting tackle Marcus McNeill. General manager A.J. Smith hasn’t made many big splashes in free agency. He may have to do some things this year as he enters a critical season. The Chargers have several in-house free agents to address as well.

I didn’t say that. I have been very clear is stating that I think the franchise tag may be a tool we use to ensure we retain a talented young player who has come no where near his potential. I agree with your # of around 4.5 a year in a long term deal, I DONT agree that tagging a player automatically guarantees a big pay day for him.

Its kind of funny that the only person in the entire Raider Nation that thinks Jamarcus Russell is anything more than a warm lump of poo is questioning Carson Palmers work ethic, warning that we should be worried.

What was the basis of Gannon’s statement about Palmer? I know DA said Palmer was excited and they in turn were excited with Palmer. He was one of the few players singled out in a positive way. He also has a very big contract and you know if they got a hint he was not committed they would not hesitate to dump him and pick up Campbell (especially with Hue gone).
February 14th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
“so much evidence”
What evidence about Palmer’s work ethic? and please do not bring up the dysfunctional situation he was in the the Bengals.

Blah blah blah… I was one of Hue Jacksons biggest supporters, but yeah I can see how you would think I am a racist. I would actually be offended by that, but everyone here knows you are flaming idiot anyways.
February 14th, 2012 at 12:03 pm
Hue certainly had his hands full, and he probably placed a lot of the duties on Saunders to work with Palmer. But I remember Palmer saying something about not getting much time with Hue.
Oh well, Hue is gone, and now our coaching staff is being assembled and hopefully Palmer will get the work he needs to learn the new offense.
I am sure Palmer will be here ready to roll once OTAs begin. It would be nice if he could convince D. Moore, Ford, DHB and Boss to spend a couple of weeks with him in SoCal working on stuff this offseason once they get their playbooks.

I appreciate the vote of confidence, as the most vocal critic of Jamarcus has proven to be completely correct. I was not that, I wanted Jamarcus to succeed, but was never blinded enough by that to not be able to recognize that Russell cared nothing for the raiders, its fanbase, or football in general, and would never succeed at this level… proven true by the fact that he is NOT in the NFL, and never will be.
February 14th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
never say never Bcz… one day he might serve you a hot dog and a beer at the game !!!!
February 14th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
I defended Jamarcus for the first year or so, but then came the “vacation” from the team he took to be with his mommy for her surgery…..knee surgery lol.
That’s when I realized the dude did not have the work ethic or desire to be a good NFL QB.

If you are JR’s biggest critic, I must of been the first. I wanted CJ or AP instead of JR and I was repeatedly called a racist back in 07. My opinion is he looked a lot like Ryan Leaf coming out and struggled when a defense could actually cover a little or put a little pressure on LSU. I did not see the work ethic in him but to see CP master the play book in 3 weeks is not the mark of a lazy man.

Tagging Bush??? Pay tag money for back up running back – are we still in AD mode?
February 14th, 2012 at 12:12 pm
I didn’t want us to draft JRuss either, only because he didn’t have a proven track record, he was kind of touted as a superstar after 1 big game. I was intrigued by his arm, but I felt that the #1 pick HAS to be used on the absolute cant miss sure fire best player to help your team. Debo calls me racist because I made a joke about Jamarcus’ penchant for referring to himself in the 3rd person, which he was known to do in interviews. Like I said, I would be offended if it wasn’t a widely known fact that Debo is an idiot.
February 14th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
No chance Bush gets tagged at 9mill a year. I just cant see it. I would be very surprised, especially with the glut of quality RBs available in FA this year.
February 14th, 2012 at 12:15 pm
KK called me a racist because he thought I only did not like him because he was black. I think he knows better now especially when I was a supporter of JC when he was here and lobbied for Culpepper to start in the dismal 2007 season.

Yeah, I like Bush, but if he wants starter money, then he has to go. I think he might find that the market is not quite what he expects for a soon to be 28 year old RB who isn’t in great shape and who runs out of gas when given the work load.

I hope Palmer is planning on working with a personal trainer within the next two months.
He needs to focus on getting in the best shape of his career this offseason.
Get that core to be stronger along with his legs and work on his footwork and flexibility, so he can be in great shape before training camp. He needs to also work with the whole coaching staff and receivers to get on same page pronto!

I agree that it is irresponsible to question Palmers work ethic based on the fact that he didn’t decide to pursue Hue (who clearly had too much on his plate) for one on one time. Its kind of funny that the only person in the entire Raider Nation that thinks Jamarcus Russell is anything more than a warm lump of poo is questioning Carson Palmers work ethic, warning that we should be worried.
Even all you slacker blog readers have more work ethic than Jamarcus Russell.

I don’t give a damn about what reporters comment on. Never heard a reporter say that JR slacked in practice either. I did hear Lane Kiffen (you know, the head coach) praise JR’s work habits. Bottom line is that Palmer obviously doesn’t care enough to seek out his coach for more one-on-one time. Gannon harped on this and I agree with him. Couple that with his piss-poor play the last few years and the “trade me or I’ll retire” ultimatum and you’ve got a guy that epitomizes the “lazy, spoiled athlete”.

JR is listed as one of the top two biggest busts of all time in the NFL. TOP TWO. On many lists, he’s #1 biggest bust, EVER.
He was and is a lazy slob. Came in with gut hanging over his belt, mantitties, and couldn’t care less.

Debo, are you mad because Palmer won almost as many games for the Raiders in a little over one half of a season, with no preseason and with all of his skill players injured, as Jamarcus won for the Raiders in three seasons?
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
You’re really playing a violin for Palmer because you think his supporting cast sucked???? Compare JR’s SC with Palmer’s (including the coaching staffs) and get back to me.

Topping tonight’s “RedicuList” is RaiderDebo, the last Raider fan on the planet still supporting Jamarcus Russell. You remember Jamarcus Russell, he was the overweight, lazy, piece of schyt, overpaid quarterback for the Oakland Raiders just a couple of seasons ago? Yeah, that guy. And this RaiderDebo guy isn’t even related to Jamarcus Russell.
There you have it America….nothing gets more ridiculous than that!

You are so ignorant the one who shredded the constitution was Reagan and judge Rehnquist!
We now no longer have our 4th amendment rights.
In the early 1980’s it was illegal for law enforcement to search your house or car or any of your property without a warrant. Reagan and Rehnquist removed that to help fight the war on drugs. They felt it tied the hands of law enforcement so they did away with the 4th amendment.
You should really read more often instead of regurgitating Fox news.

February 14th, 2012 at 3:38 pm
That was someone else propping-up Pryor. But, if he’s right, we’re all better off for it. Pryor’s got athleticism…and he’s smarter than his last days at OSU would have us believe.
Hopefully Pryor will improve enough to be a #2-quality QB this year…if not, he should become the next Ronald Curry, beginning the Spring of 2013.

I think it is a little strange that steve cant bring himself to give DHB any credit. The kid turned in a very nice season last year, and seems to be improving every time he steps on the field. to elevate moore, ford murph or anyone else over him with out them proving it on the field doesnt fly as far as im concerned.
Forget the book on DHB when he arrived and look at what he did on sundays this year. media and fans are guilty of anchoring their expectations of a player on to the reputation of the player and over looking actual on field production. Until one of the other guys can surpass what DHB did then he is with out question the best wr on the team as of this moment.
February 14th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Burfict might not have the work ethic that DHB has. We know he’s got attitude on the field…will it be trouble off it? He could be good, but I don’t know he’ll be worth the hassles.
It took a few years, and nearly an unspeakable fate, before Ray Lewis settled down. Burfict just has the feel of a guy who can’t grow-up fast enough.
February 14th, 2012 at 3:48 pm
The thing I like about Terrell is that no one is talking about him because he is good.Check out some of his highlights on line.Hes got some game and just imagine that Big Al selected him and he turns out to be superb Imagine that.
February 14th, 2012 at 3:48 pm
“I think it is a little strange that steve cant bring himself to give DHB any credit. The kid turned in a very nice season last year, and seems to be improving every time he steps on the field.”
He sure has come a long way and he works hard you never hear anything negative about his attitude or work ethic.
February 14th, 2012 at 3:49 pm
In some respects DHB was one of our most reliable play makers last season. I would say that DHB along with jc and lil wiz where our most consistent players on offense. I certainly would not trade him for unproven college players, especially now when he is only just beginning to come into his own
February 14th, 2012 at 3:50 pm
DHB may be on the verge of being great or he might just be Alvin Harper. Either way, he is showed good improvement and I too don’t understand Cork’s bias.
That being said, if we get Colston or V. Jackson, I’d trade him in heart beat for a 2nd and take Bufict.
Colston/Jackson along with Moore and Ford makes DHB expendable. Just like the hot chink in Rambo II.
February 14th, 2012 at 3:53 pm
DHB was our most reliable WR last year, for sure. As clumsy as it looks sometimes. But, he needs to do something spectacular every now and then to get peoples’ attention now.
One or two incredible plays like DMoore makes, and everybody will start appreciating DHB’s more blue-collar-like efforts.

Burfict has all world talent but he is a major head case. Im not sure that a few million dollars of nfl money wouldnt send that kid over the ledge. How long before romac and burfict kill one another?
I wouldnt touch him.
February 14th, 2012 at 4:35 pm
DHB is a continuing disappointment. Due to lack of other receivers caused by injuries he was force fed the ball and gained some yards: 961 to be exact. But he only scored 3 TDs, and when crunch time came, DHB either dropped or whiffed on the ball and caused us to lose the game.
Jerry Rice, in his 3rd season gain 1031 yds with 16 TD’s, BTW.
DHB traps the ball with his body while making easy to average plays. If we retain him we will continue to be average in the WR dept: not factoring in Moore and Ford that is.

Good Post ! I say let’s put Pryor out there and see what he can do.
In his demo reel (notwithstanding bias involved in favor of Pryor) I saw Pryor make pass after pass after pass, all beautifully thrown into the receiver’s hands, necessitating no adjustment by the receiver at all, which were in flight from 50 to 60 yds. Plus Pryor runs like the wind, and is very evasive of the rush.
If Pryor has no potential as an NFL QB then we can always cut him.
