To tag or not to tag Bush
By Steve Corkran
Monday, February 27th, 2012 at 3:01 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Teams have had a week to use the franchise tag on one of their own players. As of now, none has opted to go that route. The Raiders have until Monday to decide whether to use the tag on running back Michael Bush, safety Tyvon Branch or one of their other free-agents-to-be.
It’s worth noting that the Raiders wasted little time in using the franchise tag on Charles Woodson, Nnamdi Asomugha, Richard Seymour and Kamerion Wimbley in recent years.
That the Raiders haven’t used the tag on Bush by now makes it more likely that they won’t use it on any of their players this season.
To recap, Bush is slated to become an unrestricted free agent March 13, unless he is signed to an extension. That is unlikely, given Bush has stated that he wants to be a starter, and he realizes that isn’t apt to happen as long as Darren McFadden is on the Raiders roster.
So, the Raiders are faced with the prospect of using the franchise tag on Bush if they want to keep him in the fold for at least one more season. That would cost the Raiders $7.7 million.
New coach Dennis Allen talked about the difficulty in defending against the Raiders, with McFadden and Bush in the backfield, when Allen was the Broncos defensive coordinator last season.
Yet, he refused to tip his hand when asked about whether the Raiders intend to use the franchise tag on Bush.
“We’re going to look at all those options,” Allen said at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis last week. “I won’t get into the specifics of exactly what we’re going to do and exactly what our plan is going to be, but I will tell you this, we will look at all of our existing free agents, we’re going to look at all of our existing players that are under contract that have high numbers and we’re going to evaluate what we need to do to give the organization a chance to be successful.”
The Raiders are on the hook for $5.65 million to McFadden in 2012. In a perfect world, the Raiders would be paying Bush $7.7 million for a backup who wouldn’t get much more than 125 carries or so if McFadden is healthy all season.
Combine that with the fact the Raiders already are $11 million over the salary cap and also would need to free up even more room if they want to sign a couple of players in free agency.
Bush’s agent, Todd France, did not return a phone call.
If the Raiders opt to let Bush walk, that likely means a heightened role for second-year back Taiwan Jones, who played sparingly his rookie season, while stuck behind McFadden and Bush and battling through a hamstring injury.
Bush stands to make a ton of money if he makes it to free agency in two weeks. He likely would become the next talented back who spent the early part of his NFL career as a productive backup and cashed in once he hit free agency, along the lines of Priest Holmes, LaMont Jordan and Michael Turner.
Bush set career-highs in carries (256), rushing yards (977) and receptions (37) last season, largely in part to McFadden missing the final nine games with a foot sprain. He also finished with his worst yards per carry (3.8) in his four NFL seasons — he sat out his rookie season in 2007.
What the Raiders decide to do with Bush will go down as one of the first big moves in the Raiders careers of Allen and general manager Reggie McKenzie.

Lol, no tag for Bush. Why would you pay a backup RB $7 million or so?
Al isn’t around to make those kind of bone-headed contract deals anymore.
February 27th, 2012 at 3:04 pm
No Tag!
Stupid…Stupid…Stupid
February 27th, 2012 at 3:07 pm
If Bush gets 7mill from anyone next year I’d be shocked…and then LMAO.
February 27th, 2012 at 3:07 pm
Hes a talented well rounded RB. Long term him. Hes a 1st round talent we got for a 4th.
If he test the waters someone will bite but many think the ZBS will allow us to use scrubs at RB and gain 2,000 yds anyway.

February 27th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Offer Bush a fair extension for a fair salary, and then let him test the market.
Either he signs elsewhere for way more $$$, or he comes back and re-ups. Either way, we don’t overpay for him.
February 27th, 2012 at 3:08 pm
nobody ever tells me it’s a new post.. I’m talking to myself over there
February 27th, 2012 at 3:09 pm
3 yrs, 10 mil…7 guaranteed.
My offer.

Bush is replaceable, for less.

I wanna say congrats to the people of the Sacramento Area for getting a deal done to keep the Kings….time for Oakland to stop with the fkin excuses and get the Coliseum City Complex thing in motion. It would be the ultimate complex in the world and do alot to helping Oakland make a move towards the future.

If Sacto can do it Oakland should figure it out.
Oakland needs to put up or shut up.
Forget about the Feds, whom they lean on heavily, as a community, they need to get it done.
Or the Team will be gone.
February 27th, 2012 at 3:13 pm
Priest Holmes was splitting time with Jamal Lewis but yeah I guess you can say backup
February 27th, 2012 at 3:14 pm
Yeah Len, I’d be self employed but I am so bad I don’t even send out invoices. I’d have to PAY someone else to do my invoices if I wanted to make any money. Bad…

______________________________________________________
Smart! I think he is grateful either way, he has a offer from the Raiders he can then leverage with another team to get more money or he has a fall back option if he doesn’t get the contract he wants.

Bush is a “star”.. He let us know that when he refused to play fullback. Trust me, he is gone. He will look for a team he thinks will start him. Nobody buys your jersey if your the back up.
February 27th, 2012 at 3:15 pm
There is a huge list of free agent RBs, and there will be some decent vets released the closer we get to the season.
Offer Bush a reasonable contract of 3-4 years $10.5 to 14 Million. If he leaves then so what? There will be many alternatives who can give you the production that Bush can…..and maybe some guys who can get you the tough short yards which Bush didn’t exactly excel at?

steve, i’m pretty sure i saw that the Cheifs tagged Bowe on the nfl network ticker this morn
February 27th, 2012 at 3:16 pm
Dang B@uce, I must be gettin old, I don’t hardly remember him on the Ravens….of course I did hit the fruity a lot more back in the late 90’s…
February 27th, 2012 at 3:17 pm
It’s going to be interesting to see how the draft goes, and free agency. Not a lot of money to spend if we’re going to keep certain people, and some priorities as to what gets addressed will be critical.
The defense is bound to get the most attention, but a veteran backup QB and depth at running back will have to be addressed as well.
I think Reggie will look back on first year with the Raiders as by far his most challenging one.

February 27th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
If Bush walks and we have to sign a veteran stop-gap for backup RB, that is okay. We actually have some picks in 2013 that Reggie can use to fix the problem if it is still an issue.

Yeah well I was at Kincaid’s last week and talked with a dude who is trying hard to get that Coliseum City Project moving. He knows its vital for the city since Victory Court thing got shot by that scumlord Jerry Brown.
The Raiders do not need to move to Santa Clara and share a stadium with the 49ers….The A’s dont need to go to SJ knowing that place is full of Giant fans……and the Warriors have no biz ever going to SF becuz that is not a basketball city.
We know Mark Davis wasnts to stay HOME….sadly Lew Wolff has always hated the city of Oakland, thats why when he owned the Warriors in the 80s but sold them when he couldnt move to San Jose….Lacob and Co. dont know a damn thing to ever think SF would support basketball over the long haul. The City cares about the Giants only as only 9 pct of SF county folks have season tickets for the 49ers

Priest Holmes was splitting time with Jamal Lewis but yeah I guess you can say backup
_______________________________________________________
Actually he was an undrafted free agent. Cannot really say he split time, he was the 3rd down back in 2000. Kinda was screwed over. He did start for the Ravens in 98, but couldn’t stay healthy and lost his starting job in 99 to Eric Rhett.

Brien,
Don’t you think that the A’s being in San Jose could overcome a lot of the Giant love down there?
I know I was a Giants’ fan when the A’s were in KC, but when my homewtown got a team there was no question who I was now rooting for. Switched allegiances before they even played a game here, and haven’t looked back.

I agree. Congrats to the peeps and politcos of Sac, for coming together and realizing how important it was for the local economy and region to build a new modern arena and keep their only pro sports team the Kings.
If the Kings would have left, Sac would have become a ghost town within 10 years.
I have exchanged emails with Oakland City Council members and they are working hard with Mayor Quan to see the Coliseum City Complex become a reality.
They just need to find investors/developers/financers.

I think the Mayor and City Council needs to start planning Coliseum City for the Raiders and Warriors.
They need to stop worrying about the A’s at this point. Focus the Coliseum City Complex on Raiders and Warriors and developing retail restaurants/bars/lounges in that area along with a Raiders and Warriors HOF building and a nice hotel that has a bar/lounge and a nice restaurant inside and renovating and modernizing the BART station at the Coliseum as well.
If the San Jose Ballpark for the A’s falls through and the Coliseum City moves forward, the Wolff and the A’S will crawl back to Oakland.

Steve you forget that the Raiders have a new approach to franchise tags, free agency, etc because Al is not pulling the levers anymore, so the fact that the tag has not been used in relation to what they have done in the past means absolutely nothing! Get in the game….Bush is history he will get his chance at starting money somewhere else and he can wear down late in the season for that team this year…not going to be a big loss.

City Resolution on “Coliseum City” project to be viewed by Oakland City Council Feb 28th at 2:00 pm PST – 2/27/2012
Posted on February 27, 2012 by A’s Fan Radio
Sorry for the late word on this, but tomorrow afternoon, the Oakland City Council will be reviewing a city resolution on the “Coliseum City” project tomorrow at 2 pm in the Sgt. Mark Dunakin Room – 1st Floor at Oakland City Hall, located at 1 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, Oakland, California 94612. Coliseum City is the 5th item on the agenda and docs can view by clicking here.
We are HIGHLY ENCOURAGING all fans of the OAKLAND Athletics, OAKLAND RAIDERS & Golden State Warriors to attend this meeting and make our voices heard that we will not just stand by and let ANY of these teams leave The Town without a fight. This issue is not just Oakland’s problem anymore, but the ENTIRE EAST BAY’S PROBLEM and its time for all to join as one and step our game up.

Nope…I dont think so….SJ is another place that doesnt need a MLB team….its a joke man. No knock on SJ but only NHL and MLS are pro franchises need to be there
********************************************************
Lol. Well, I have to agree with you about SJ as a city. Not a fan.
I know it’s a controversial subject, but I’m not opposed to contraction in some cases. There was too much expansion too fast, especially with hockey and the NBA, and there are places that just shouldn’t have teams. The NHL tried Atlanta TWICE before finally giving up, Toronto is NOT an NBA city, MLB in Florida has been a joke (which is incredible because of the success both franchises have had on the field), and their hockey teams haven’t fared any better.
Nobody’s going down the tubes, and I realize that. I just think that sports would be a lot more interesting if the talent pool wasn’t so depleted by having a franchise in every city that met the demographic model. These are organizations that represent the finest in professional sports, not McDonald’s franchisees.

Of course we all know that, but the fact of the matter is we gotta offer him something…thats not lowballing him too bad being he knows our situation and it’s doubling what he’s getting now, knowing he wouldn’t be the sole full time back as well. Plus with those inflated numbers on the back end, it gives him some incentive to show that yea, we might not stick to that late number when the time comes, but we might be willing to restructure….I don’t know how they’re gonna make it work, but my money says he stays. can’t knock the homie if he goes to get that dough though and someone will offer him a 3 yr 21M deal off top.
February 27th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
If McK blows 8 mill on a slow backup RB, thats had just a few flashes of brilliance in his 4 year career (and his next picked up blitz will be his first) he should get tagged himself… as “loser.”

Yea, some of those calls were crazy…like the one TRob got late, and the one Taylor got in OT. Refs definitely had the feel of not wanting Mizzu to get out of that one. Same thing happens to the Ville in the Big East tourney every year if they play UConn or the Cuse. MSG wants that high dollar ticket in the chip..

“Bush has stated that he wants to be a starter, and he realizes that isn’t apt to happen as long as Darren McFadden is on the Raiders roster.”
NOT TRUE!! BUSH IS THE STARTER, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE “STARTER” FOR THE JOB OF RUNNING BACK. SO BUSH WAS THE BACKUP FOR 6.5 GAMES BUT WAS THE STARTER FOR 9.5 GAMES. SO WAS BUSH A STARTER???? ALSO DEPENDING ON GAME PLAN, BUSH COULD START A GAME TO WEAR DOWN THE OPPONENT, THEN SWITCH TO A BLAZING FAST DMAC. EA. TEAM NEEDS TO STARTING RB’s

I actually think that if the A’s can somehow stay around .500 by the All-Star break, they could at least be entertaining in August/September.
Manny was a great signing, as long as they are relevant in the 2nd half. The man can rake with the greatest ever.

If Kevin Johnson can get a stadium for a Kings team that is crap 3 outta every 4 years, than Mark HAS to get something done in Oakland.

Brien,
Don’t you think that the A’s being in San Jose could overcome a lot of the Giant love down there?
I know I was a Giants’ fan when the A’s were in KC, but when my homewtown got a team there was no question who I was now rooting for. Switched allegiances before they even played a game here, and haven’t looked back.
==========================================
When the A’s moved to Oakland they were an exciting young franchise breaking out of the mold of staid Major League Baseball. Right now they are barely an exciting Double A team. The Giants are one year removed from a very very exciting World Championship and for whatever reason fans just love that team. I don’t see fans just up and rooting for the A’s. And for the record that move is not going to happen anyway. Best thing Wolff and Fisher can do right now is sell.

And when I say Airport they need more stuff around there…attractions ya dig….also need a train heading to the Airport….fk AirBart….this aint the damn 90s anymore…Oakland and the Eastbay have produced famous people in all walks and all areas….no reason for this bs to continue
I thought that’s why they’re doing that 100 City Block campaign or something. It’s sad to see such a waste of prime real estate. This location has access to local transit, railway, freeway, port, and an international airport, yet within a mile radius is an area with the highest percentage of homicides.
I thought AirBART was supposed to be part of the Coliseum City plans. Clean up Oakland, and businesses will WANT to invest. Begging to please everyone will drive them away. (Look at the Warriors, A’s and even the Occupy Movement)
P.S. Jerry Brown is the biggest detriment to Oakland. He treated and used the city like a street walker.

We need to be spending money on the O line and the D line.
No great RB’s win the SB anymore.
You can have a great running attack and get in the playoffs, you can have a crappy one and win the SB.
Someone will overpay for Bush and realize he will wear down as the season goes, he cant block at all, and he is slow.
We need to tag Branch or sign him to a long contract, bring in another Guard, and beef up D-line.
Running backs can be found anywhere….

I still have my doubts about DMAC: in analyzing his stats and the team status, having to run behind JaMarcus, as #2 back behind Fargas, under Cable’s ZBS while total chaos reigned in AD’s final few yrs, I have noted that although DMAC is good, he is not an elite runner.
As I have stated many times, DMAC’s greatest games came against bottom tier teams with losing records. Although a case can be made that DMAC was thwarted by a dysfunctional Raider’s organization, a case can also be made that during DMAC’s 4 seasons, the Raiders had the easiest schedules in the NFL.
It should be noted that against top tier teams in playoff contention with winning records, DMAC looked extremely average, especially last year. Put DMAC up against the Pat’s and he’ll gain 50 yds and have a few catches. If he was really of elite status, DMAC would rip off 125 to 150 yds with a half dozen catches and 3 TD’s, and simply take over the game. Of course, he didn’t come close to that.
Finally, DMAC, has serial foot problems and from here-on-in will probably never make through a single season uninjured. I predict, he will go down next season in game 6 and remain injured and out of play thereafter.
Reggie should be looking for a RB, who can replace DMAC, a hidden gem, fallen through the cracks in the bottom rounds, an unsigned FA, or due to circumstances beyond his control, an undistinguished runner having elite talent, who has just never come to the fore.
It seems Bush will fly the coup for greener pastures. Taiwan can’t be counted on due to proneness of injury, and little experience in the NFL.

Why is everyone congratulating Kevin Johnson and and Maloofs regarding the purported stadium deal?
The main issue here is that the people of Sacramento have to finance $250M of thee $350M cost of the new stadium. Did the people vote directly on this matter or will it be pushed through and force fed upon them by Johnson, city council, and the Maloof’s?
Time for the city council to be de-elected and Johnson and the Maloof’s to be run out of town.
February 27th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
as no RB in the NotForLong is worth the “tag money” the point may be moot, but if the Raiders are gonna fork over the big bucks for an RB why not give it Beast Mode rather than MBush (one thing people usually fail to realize about the past season is that Bush was a victim of Huebris and the “all in” destructiveness of the HC. Didn’t care who or what he hurt, ruined or mortgaged.)

According to PFT Vontaze Burfict is freefalling and it’s very possible he could fall to us with at least a 3rd round supp pick.
A few months ago there was a lot of support in here for him from Steve and others, but an assumption he’d go in the 1st or early 2nd.
A lot of warnings about this guy but he does seem to fit the mold of what the Raiders have always been with a nasty, tough physical and often penalized play. I don’t mind the penalties, but there are also questions about his speed and instincts.
Any one seen him play alot with any thoughts on taking this guy in the latter half of the draft?

When the A’s moved to Oakland they were an exciting young franchise breaking out of the mold of staid Major League Baseball. Right now they are barely an exciting Double A team. The Giants are one year removed from a very very exciting World Championship and for whatever reason fans just love that team. I don’t see fans just up and rooting for the A’s. And for the record that move is not going to happen anyway. Best thing Wolff and Fisher can do right now is sell.
********************************************************
I see your point, but I would submit that if Beane keeps the young nucleus intact (as he has intimated he will do when the ballpark situation is resolved) and that young team starts winning games the integration will be seamless. Lots of people down there, and a brand-new ballpark with a major league franchise would be awfully hard to resist for the fans, I think.
I don’t know enough about the situation to have an opinion on whether SJ will ever happen. I just think that it would be successful for the A’s in the long run, providing they don’t get anything done in Oakland (which is what I really hope happens).

Steve OBVIOUSLY didn’t watch Bush’s last 6 games when he was the defacto starting RB. He had two decent efforts and then, for all intents and purposes, NADA. I was one of those people who thought Bush was a secret weapon of sorts to be unleashed at some future point. That was until he started for the last 6 games of 2011. He barely made the grade of Ordinary – at best. Let him hit the bricks & he will find he’s not worth what he may think he is based on his last 6 starts. The opponents have him figured out. He can’t get to the edge and he’s not a BANGER at the LOS. 8 in the box will stuff him every time. To make matters worse, he can’t/won’t pass block. He’ll get your QB killed. That’s a VERY big liability. Unfortunately, I think his best years are past. He brings nothing new to the table and what he does have to offer are now worth a whole lot less. He WAS EXPOSED when he started those last 6 games. Until then, most like myself thought there was a lot that we had yet to see. We were wrong.
Suggesting to use the Franchise tag for Bush is insane. There is no way that is going to happen under any circumstances. Actually, his exodus will be a good thing for us. We’ll be able to bring in better talent, like Mike Tolbert FA-SD, to back up DMac.

********************************************************
He ran 4.9 and 5.1 today. Pretty freakin’ slow for an NFL linebacker. I’d rather get a guy that can play outside in a 4-3 and/or rush the passer in a 3-4.
There is also the pairing with McClain. If the team senses a character concern with McClain then I doubt they would add Burfict to the mix.
If we’re adding an ILB for 3-4 or other purposes I’d take a real hard look at Jameel McClain from the Ravens. He (I think) is an UFA, and played very well filling in for Ray Lewis this year. Baltimore has to sign Ray Rice and some others and he may slip through the cracks.

When the A’s moved to Oakland they were an exciting young franchise breaking out of the mold of staid Major League Baseball. Right now they are barely an exciting Double A team. The Giants are one year removed from a very very exciting World Championship and for whatever reason fans just love that team. I don’t see fans just up and rooting for the A’s. And for the record that move is not going to happen anyway. Best thing Wolff and Fisher can do right now is sell.
===============
A’s will end up in SJ. You should remove your head from wher the sun don’t shine. Fans don’t care if they have to drive an extra 30 min. and polls have shown 25% of the A’s fans are from the southbay.

Downtown LA used to be a COMPLETE shhtttthole.
Prior to Staples, it was NOT the place to be.
“Cleaning up” the area is certainly possible. All those old arsse buildings in downtown LA are now lofts. Minor exterior changes is all that is needed. Don’t need to tear everything down.
February 27th, 2012 at 5:16 pm
How about backup QBs?
I think Henne or Quinn could be decent pickups. Highly touted players entering the leage, affordable veterans — but still very young — who have looked pretty good in spots and may benefit from a couple years as a backup and could be a viable replacement for Palmer 3 or 4 years down the road, if necessary. But guys who could also fill in and surprise in the right system if Palmer gets hurt.

I would love to see the coliseum city happen, and oakland could use a make over. There is so much space available they could really make it a very nice entertainment district. I could see it being like lacleads in st louis in a way. The landing is a However in order for it to work they would absolutely have to clean up the area between 98th and 73rd and up toward eastmont mall. I would like for it to have the feel of the new uptown in oakland, this can work and is sorely needed.

Steve OBVIOUSLY didn’t watch Bush’s last 6 games when he was the defacto starting RB. He had two decent efforts and then, for all intents and purposes, NADA. I was one of those people who thought Bush was a secret weapon of sorts to be unleashed at some future point. That was until he started for the last 6 games of 2011. He barely made the grade of Ordinary – at best. Let him hit the bricks & he will find he’s not worth what he may think he is based on his last 6 starts. The opponents have him figured out. He can’t get to the edge and he’s not a BANGER at the LOS. 8 in the box will stuff him every time. To make matters worse, he can’t/won’t pass block. He’ll get your QB killed. That’s a VERY big liability. Unfortunately, I think his best years are past. He brings nothing new to the table and what he does have to offer are now worth a whole lot less. He WAS EXPOSED when he started those last 6 games. Until then, most like myself thought there was a lot that we had yet to see. We were wrong.
Suggesting to use the Franchise tag for Bush is insane. There is no way that is going to happen under any circumstances. Actually, his exodus will be a good thing for us. We’ll be able to bring in better talent, like Mike Tolbert FA-SD, to back up DMac.
—————————————–
I was feeling you until you said Tolbert is a better talent. No way. Bush is much better than Tolbert.
Still, no way you franchise him. I wouldn’t be opposed to a 3-year deal worth maybe $8 million in all. But I wouldn’t mind a McFadden-Jones-Rookie? combo.
*********************
Chris, I know you are a good Raider fan and loyal fan. Bush blew it in my book when he had 3 shots at the 1 yard line and couldn’t get it in. Tolbert is a hard charger (excuse the pun) who knows how to get the ball in the end zone. Bush is OK when there are gaping holes but in tight quarters he has demonstrated that he’s not a LOS BANGER. I would submit that Tolbert is every bit as good and better than Bush because he can score and he’s not afraid to block in the backfield when it’s called for. Bush has turned out to be a big disappointment in my book. Bush only wants to do what Bush wants to do – remember the request to lay a little bit of FB? Tolbert is a team player and will do whatever he can to help the team. I’ll take that kind of a player every time.

To be fair, Bush has had some great games. You can’t just throw anybody out there as a lead back just because there are a lot of UFAs who have made it. It’s not like Rock Cartwright or Michael Bennett could’ve given us what we got from Bush this year. He’s still a starting-caliber tailback. Just not worth $7 million as a backup.

Somewhere like Arizona could make sense and let him compete with Kolb. Or perhaps Jacksonville to let him compete with Gabbert.

Damn… looks like he won’t fall to the Raiders:
Shea McClellin, Boise State: McClellin worked out with the defensive linemen, but looked every part linebacker at the combine. His 40 times registered as fast as 4.65 seconds and McClellin practiced at that speed during drills. He displayed terrific balance and rhythm during defensive line drills; when used in coverage at linebacker, he looked quick-footed and capable of going sideline-to-sideline. The former college defensive end had a lot to gain from his workout and some teams feel he did enough to move into the top half of Round 2.

Cleveland, Washington, Seattle and Miami are all in the market for a starting QB. I don’t count Indy because they’re taking Andrew Luck.
RG3 and Flynn will spur bidding wars. If his neck checks out, Peyton will be out there as well.
That leaves at least one team looking for at least a stopgap QB right when a proven-if-mediocre starter (Soup) is hitting the market.
February 27th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
977 yards in only 9 starts, how is this anything less than proof that bush is a very good back. I think his locker room ethic is also important he accepted his role without being a distraction.
The reality is that his production has priced him out of our range. he is too good to be paid like a back up, and too expensive for us to keep.
Bush walks not because he isnt worth the money, but because we cant afford him

Cleveland, Washington, Seattle and Miami are all in the market for a starting QB. I don’t count Indy because they’re taking Andrew Luck.
RG3 and Flynn will spur bidding wars. If his neck checks out, Peyton will be out there as well.
========================================
Teams must have that marquee Q. Thank God we got ours.
February 27th, 2012 at 6:06 pm
Personally if I were in charge I would move Reece to full time RB, and sign Leron McClain. If Dmac were to go down Reece, McClain, and Taiwan would give us a very well rounded backfield. McClain CAN be an explosive running back when he gets the carries. Maybe bring in a a cheap vet or a UDFA at RB in case one of these other guys gets hurt as well.
Call me crazy but I think with the new strength and conditioning team the Dmac plays all 16 games in 2012 anyways.

977 yards in only 9 starts, how is this anything less than proof that bush is a very good back. I think his locker room ethic is also important he accepted his role without being a distraction.
The reality is that his production has priced him out of our range. he is too good to be paid like a back up, and too expensive for us to keep.
Bush walks not because he isnt worth the money, but because we cant afford him
*****************
10 games really, DMAC played 2 snaps in the KC game before he got hurt and Bush took over, I dont even consider dmac as having played in that game.
Its not that we cant afford Bush, you just cant justify paying 2 RBs starter money. He isn’t worth the money to continue to back up DMac, he will get his deserved pay day with another team, but IMHO he wont be a top back in the league. I just don’t think he can carry the load of a full time # 1 for 16 games. I like Bush a lot, so I hope for good things for him though… as long as he doesn’t stay in the West.

Actually Oakland is the 5th highest in the country, but I bet you the influx of income from the proposed sporting complex could go a long way to improving that ranking.
February 27th, 2012 at 6:16 pm
Our 2012 RB’s, no matter who they are, will be no better than our O-Line allows. Right now nobody on this blog really knows what’s in store for the O-line 2012 version. Power blocking or ZBS? Satele, Carlisle & Barnes being replaced? I certainly hope so. Wiz to center? Will the new coaching staff change our Offense of follow along the same line as last year? Who will be the BU-RB? There’s an awful lot of unanswered questions right now so anything anybody thinks is just pure speculation.
February 27th, 2012 at 6:22 pm
I think Satele and Carlisle will stay, Barnes is a UFA, I truly doubt he will be retained… maybe on a vet minimum as depth. I think Barksdale and someone not yet on the roster will compete for that spot. Contrary to what most believe, we aren’t going to go full ZBS, and I would even venture to say we won’t use zone blocking much more than last year ( we DID use it last year)
February 27th, 2012 at 6:29 pm
Don’t know if Reece could be a RB. Remember he was a WR in college. I don’t know if he has been a RB at any level.
February 27th, 2012 at 6:30 pm

February 27th, 2012 at 6:33 pm
I’d like to see our O-line look like this:
• OLT – Veldheer
• OLG – Heyer (FA signing)
• C – Wiz
• ORG – Barksdale
• ORT – Gaither (FA signing)
That would be a power line that could equally move people around or provide a secure pocket for passing. Satele and Carlisle were the real weak links last years especially against power rushes up the middle. Barnes was just undisciplined and a false starting machine. I have no problem keeping Satele & Barnes as BU support but Carlisle is really at the end of his career.
February 27th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
What’s going on with workout warrior Bruce Campbell? Is this guy ever going to play? There’s no problem physically. That must mean there is a mental glitch. The coaching staff should either get him ready to play or dump him.

To recap, Bush is slated to become an unrestricted free agent March 13, unless he is signed to an extension. That is unlikely, given Bush has stated that he wants to be a starter, and he realizes that isn’t apt to happen as long as Darren McFadden is on the Raiders roster.
——————
Bush and McFadden both starters. Whats the BFD. That is one helluva 1-2 punch. We need the both back there gentlemen, we need them both back there.
No exeption, they both gotta stay. Allen will tell you this, so will every Raider fan. We need them both in the backfield gentlemen, we need them both back there. A 1-2 punch like no other team in the NFL. None like it. Name one. Can’t.
This is the closest thing to Marcus and Bo that we’ve had since Marcus and Bo. Start a petition, start a billboard, do whatever it takes. Pass the hat, we need Bush and McFadden both in the backfield. We are toast, spilt milk, and broken eggs without both of them in the backfield. Period……………………….

We can still compete for Bush’s services once he is a free agent. Raiders need starters on defense more than they need back ups for the offense.

We are certainly going to need someone who can pick up Mike’s production. And Mike has been productive for us.
February 27th, 2012 at 7:37 pm
Priority of positions in need (in order in my opinion):
1) Right Tackle, unless we know Campbell or Barksdale can do the job;
2) Linebacker;
3) Cornerback;
4) DE pass rushing specialist that will actually get to the qb- this could be from a lb position as well;
5) G/C depending on where Wisniewski plays and if Satele is resigned as starter or backup- could be bigger priority pending Carlisle’s status (restructuring in the works)?;
6) Free Safety;
7) WR quality veteran #1 or #4;
9) NT;
10) back up RB.
February 27th, 2012 at 7:49 pm
Bush – very good on screen passes, below average as a blocker, just average on short yardage situation, 3.9 ave, good back and teamate but not worth 7 million
February 27th, 2012 at 8:05 pm
LT: Veldheer
LG: Wiz
C: resign Satele/ FA/ or draft pick
RG: Barksdale
RT: Campbell
Add 2 FAs/ rookies to compete with the right side of the OL.
February 27th, 2012 at 8:06 pm
Bush had 3.8 ypc.
Is not good when we have the ball on the opponents 1 yd. line and have 4 downs to get it in and Bush gets 3 chances and fails.
I saw that happen at least a couple of occasions and more failures on 3 and 1 than I care to remember.
That being said, he IS durable.
February 27th, 2012 at 8:12 pm
Other players who avg’d 3.8 (exactly) a carry?
-Benjarvis Green-Ellis
-Brandon Jacobs-NYG
Are those guys “franchise” players?
Franchising Bush is the type of “Al type move” everyone complains about.
Franchising a guy who avg’s 3.8 a carry and doesn’t have the muscle to get it in the endzone when the line is stacked?
I know it isn’t easy to make a yard when the line is stacked against you. I get that. But you don’t franchise the guys who CAN’T. You franchise the guys who can.

It amazes me how people criticize Michael Bush like he didn’t play in these games.
DMAC doesn’t play in games…its all potential
That raggedy azz defense has nothing but excuses….”bad scheme”, “offense doesn’t score enough”, gap discipline….blah, blah, blah.
All this mfin potential but not a win and certainly no production.
Just a bunch of what ifs and cashed checks

=================================================
Yup! The whole reason this is a debate is because DMAC has averaged 9 carries a game since he’s started.
Michael Bush’s problem is he can’t block. And therefore isn’t worth $7M. But as long as the two other running backs miss more games than they play…probably going to have to give Bush some money
February 27th, 2012 at 8:40 pm
O I agree with each of your line scenarios; I do hope we start Wisniewski at center; resign Satele as his backup, and both Campbell & Barksdale earn starting positions. Raiders to draft SMU’s Beachum.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
RaiderRetribution,
I remember reading that Wiz was projected to be a better center than guard at the pro level, or he can be a great fit at Guard in the ZBS.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
Satele is a solid fit at center if the Raiders are going to emphasize zone blocking. There really aren’t many better options in the draft or free agency.
Veldheer – Wiz – Satele – Carlisle – Barksdale/Campbell
I’d like to see the Raiders pick up a developmental guy who can sooner or later push for the RG or RT job.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:06 pm
I’d love to see Barksdale and Campbell on the right, Wiz and Veldheer on the left. Satele at center. That has a chance to be a very young and very special line.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:08 pm
This should be a 30 ppg offense if McFadden stays healthy and the line gels.

February 27th, 2012 at 9:44 pm

You are right Bush is a laibility as a blocker and he does have a hard time on short yardage, really not worth 7 mill. Just keep talking to yourself at least no one cantroll ya.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:46 pm
There are a lot of roster moves to debate. This is not one of them. Bush is not going to be tagged.

You are right. It would be a stupid move. We should be able to find some suitable backs including Taiwan Jones. Hopefully this can be his breakout season.

Wasn’t the greatest Sunday, but easily in the top 700.
Now my reggae side project Rasta Ganja is setting up in the living room getting ready for an irie jam, mon.
Got a few new songs I wrote earlier, when I was taking this massive duece dog. I’m telling you, 4 baskets of bread sticks at Olive Garden and their house Chianti will get your juices flowing. In more ways than one.
Get it, I took a huge crap AND pushed out some lyrics.
I’ll post some samples after I power up the PARTYBRO 8500 Mai Tai Slurpee maker and slip on a new aloe vera-soaked jock strap. My nads are sore from all the stripper tongue pressure.

I wonder if Hue was just a little too easy on the players. Would a different coach have made DMAC suck it up, take a shot and play? Would a different coach have given CJ37 the rest of the year off when he had that family tragedy?
CJ plays the next game…sucks…and then decides he’s too depressed to play, and Hue says “Aw heck. Take the rest of the season off man”.
I wish my boss had given me the rest of the year to grieve when my dad passed away. My boss was calling me after 3 days wondering when I was getting back.
February 27th, 2012 at 10:29 pm
One difference between the Raiders of the good ole days and todays team is not so much the bad stats but the inability to make the “big play” when it matters most.
We saw that ONE TIME this yr. and that was the Huff int. at Houston. We forgive giving up 400 yds. passing and 200 yds. rushing when we can make a play at key moments.
We all rave about Tyvon Branch, but if he hadn’t of let an absolutely sure int. in the endzone go right thru his hands at Buffalo, it could have changed the whole fabric of the season.
How about our hero Seymour? He blocked those kicks against KC and we won the game. That’s what i’m talking about; HE MADE A PLAY WHEN IT MATTERED MOST.
It would’ve been nice if ONE DARN PLAYER would’ve nutted up and made a dang play against Detroit…or SD.

YA,
Yeah, that was a big miss, and ultimately a bigger play seeing as it was on the last drive, but the one i’m talking about is Raiders up 28-24 and Fitzpatrick throws one to Scott Chandler for a TD. On the clip you see the ball go right thru Branch’s hands for the TD and Branch jumping up and down in frustration as Bills celebrate.
When u see the replay it’s truly amazing that Branch missed it. It almost seems impossible he didn’t make the int. Would’ve been a huge momentum shift.
Par for the course that NOBODY on D could step up and make a play. Even when at least 3 of them were gift wrapped for ‘em.

Ricky averaged more YPC than Bush last year, and should have been playing in a SB.
And he doesn’t space off his blitz assignments because he’s pissed he’s not getting the ball.

For five games in four years.
Any RB in the NFL can average 3 yards a carry… and yes, that is what he averaged the last 6 games of the season (when we needed him most).
I’d offer him 3 million a season with the stipulation he learns where the training room is, and he loses 15 pounds.

I just told the band and they nearly crapped their pants because we haven’t actually learned any songs.
So I just told them we could just lip synch to a Steel Pulse album and they almost crapped their pants again, but this time it looked runny.
Anyway the first show is Friday night in the hotel room we’re going to reserve. Yo, Hyatt in the house!

Method To My Madness,
First you personally attack me because I claim that the shysters Kevin Johnson and the Maloof brothers should be driven out of office and out of town, respectively, for forcing an alleged deal to build a new staduium in Sacramento for $350M in which the people must foot 71.42% of the cost, with no direct consent of the people through referendum or vote.
Secondly, you launch another very childish personal attack on me when I say that DMAC performs very average playing top tier, playoff bound, winning teams.
You come back stating that DMAC ripped the Pat’s a “new one” last season and fully dominated the game. Fact of the matter is DMAC gain 75 yds against the Pat’s who had a terrible run defense, and caught several passes, all the while scoring no TD’s. Of course, the Raiders were outclassed and lost the game.
Obviously, you know little of which you speak. I suggest that you find a girlfriend, maybe in a homeless camp since no normal woman would ever be with you. You are wound up tight as a clock; I feel some mating behavior may de-stress you.
In any case my friend, get off the blog and stay off the blog.

Hello RaiderNation! I recently had the extreme privilege of being able to interview Oakland Raiders rookie OT, Joseph Barksdale. May I just say that Mr. Barksdale is an amazing person, and I can’t thank him enough for agreeing to let me interview him. Also thank-you to my fellow writers who helped assemble questions for the interview. Now on to what all of you have been waiting for, here is the transcript of our interview:
Q: What was your favorite NFL team as a kid?
A: Didn’t have one, didn’t start watching football till the end of college lol (#irony)
Q: When did you first become interested in playing football professionally?
A: When I was being recruited in highschool and coaches were telling me that I could play on Sundays one day (I wanted to be an engineer when I was in highschool)
Q: Why did you choose LSU as a college?
A: I’ve always wanted to play ball down south and being far away from home gave me a chance to mature as a man, and it seemed like a place that I could get a well rounded college experience
Q: Did you consider any other colleges?
A: Yes, Ohio State, Texas, USC, Michigan, Alabama, and Michigan State
Q: What was your experience at LSU like?
A: It was a lot of fun, had a lot of great teammates, had a lot of great experiences, made a lot of new friends and even joined a fraternity! All in all I loved it!
Q: Can you tell me what your experience was like when you were drafted last year in the third round?
A: Stress is the word that comes to mind lol I was sitting by my phone from the start of the draft all the way until my name was called. It definitely made me appreciate the opportunity to play in the NFL because I knew that there were a lot of people that entered the draft that were not going to get their names called and it made me all the more grateful to just have the opportunity to be able to play in the NFL and not take it for granted. And that’s one of the main reasons that I play football and work so hard, I do it for the people that want to and can’t.
Q: Did you have any idea that the Raiders were going to draft you?
A: The Raiders were one of the teams that I worked out for after the combine and one of the teams that I wanted to play for so I think it was more me hoping that they drafted me then me thinking that they were going to lol
Q: Can you describe your first visit to the Raider facilities?
A: It was really fun. I met a lot of the coaching staff as well as a lot of great players form the past and got a chance to take a behind the scenes look into the Raider organization and that was very enjoyable.
Q: Did you have an opportunity to meet Al Davis? If so, what was it like?
A: I did not
Q: Can you describe your experience the first time you walked on the field at the Oakland Coliseum?
A: It was just like my first time walking into Tiger Stadium , I was awestruck
Q: What do you think of the Raider Nation as a fan base?
A: I love them. Like every fan base there are some fair weather fans mixed in the group that like to kick the players when the team is down, but all in all I have had a great experience interacting with the fans.
Q: What do you consider to be your greatest strength, and how does it help you as an NFL player?
A: I’d probably say my ability to persevere. I am not a quitter and refuse to lose.
Q: Who has had the most influence on your life and/or profession?
A: Jesus
Q: What kinds of valuable things did you learn throughout your first year in the NFL?
A: The number one thing that I’ve learned is not to take playing in the NFL for granted
Q: Have you gotten a chance to talk to any of the new coaching staff? If so, what do you think of them so far?
A: I’ve spoken with the both the new Head Coach as well as my new position coach and I feel like we’re headed for a pretty impressive season.
Q: With the addition of Greg Knapp as Offensive Coordinator and Frank Pollack as Offensive Line coach, it appears that Oakland will be using more of a Zone Blocking Scheme; how much experience do you have with ZBS and do you think it will help or hinder you?
A: I think it will help. We had a good mix of zone and power scheme at LSU so I think I’ll be fine
Q: If there was one thing that you would like to say to the Raider Nation, what would it be?
A: Hi!
February 28th, 2012 at 12:32 am
Key is Palmer anyway, Knapp having him at qb with McFadden at rb will be 180 degrees from what he had with you know who and Darren.

Oakland is a second class city with second class teams.

Oakland is a great places and has produced great innovative people who help shape america the last 50-60 years….out of all cities in the US it has the most diversity with over 80 languages spoken and over 125 dialects….shut up dummy….you would never come here and say that to people
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Here is a great example of a “Method to My Madness” post. He can barely spell, type or use language correctly. Also, he makes various ludicrous unsubstantiated claims:
“Oakland is a great places (sic) and has produced great innovative people who help shape america the last 50-60 years….”
Last time I drove through Oakland it was a wasted shell, used conveniently by liberal politicians (Jerry Brown) as a sort of test labratory: “Will I be able to change the socio-economic nature of an ingrained ghetto that has triple the highest murder rate of any city in the country?” Of course the answer is no.
Then Method claims: “out of all cities in the US it has the most diversity with over 80 languages spoken and over 125 dialects….”
I say show me the paper, baby; where are your statistics and from what source did they derive?
Finally, Method submits to overwhelming emotions due is inability to articulate himself either logically or factually, and resorts to a personal attack:
“shut up dummy….you would never come here and say that to people.”
Method claims he is a Sicilian and “regular Italians” don’t like Siclianos; does he ever wonder, why?
On that claim Method is correct. He is an embarrassment to the people of Sicily and Italy in general. Then again I doubt he is a full blooded Italian, and in truth some kind of mutt.

Contract wise doubt we long term him

Method To My Madness, 143
I am Hardline to you Method. Am I calling you names that differ from your screenname?? No….
Now then, can your prove your statement?
“the people of Sac dont wanna lose the Kings period and are willing to kick out some ends for them to stay”
I am originally from the Sacramento area and have much family and many friends there, and though they want the Kings to remain, not by use of public money.
****************************
HAHAHAHA MR alert! That was easy…and I’ll address how ever I want BTCH….fk are you gonna do about it?
They already knew some of their dough will be what it takes to get that new arena so shut the fk up
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Here again is a quintessential reply from Method to my post. Yes, he is wound tightly. Mating would be good for him, except he can’t find a girl. A cow is no good so I advise him to just use his hand.
The latter portion of his response is a real crack up:
“They [the people] already knew some of their dough will be what it takes to get that new arena so shut the fk up”
Did the people know they would be footing the Johnson/Maloof fantasy at at tune of 71.42%, Method ??? Did the people submit to their financing of the project by vote or referendum?? Doubtful.
Now what about when the project goes 50% over-budget, as most of these projects seem to go?? Will the people submit to that or suffer coercion in correcting the overcharge. Duhhhh….never thought about that, did you ?
Method, my advice to you here, is return to your pick and shovel job and leave financial advice regarding public financing of private projects to experts.

Raider Weapon X RAIDERNATIONSTATION IS THE SHIZZ AND IMPOSTERS ARE MENTAL CASES Says:
The problem there Raider Weapon X is that DMAC has to make it past 6 or so games, and that is highly unlikely. Frankly in Allen’s interview I was surprised about his rosy and glowing report of DMAC. Granted DMAC has talent but that has to be put forth in performance and not potential.
I predict DMAC will go down in game 5 never to return for the season, or return to the Raiders. Enough is enough already.
February 28th, 2012 at 3:19 am
As unlikely as it may seem, I still think McKenzie will trade Palmer to a team that misses out on a QB in the draft that needed one.
Raiders in rebuilding mode (despite the usual lip-service to win a championship the first year, they realistically know they’re rebuilding, including getting the contract money back in order).
Palmer could net them a 1st rounder.

I’m sure this was covered in the previous 308 comments but… does Steve know that Al Davis is dead??
“It’s worth noting that the Raiders wasted little time in using the franchise tag on Charles Woodson, Nnamdi Asomugha, Richard Seymour and Kamerion Wimbley in recent years.
That the Raiders haven’t used the tag on Bush by now makes it more likely that they won’t use it on any of their players this season.”
February 28th, 2012 at 5:54 am
Nobody will be tagged. Branch will receive roughly 6 million if tagged and I can’t see Reg dishing out that kind of dough for one year when they are trying to shed “out of whack” contracts.
If Branch doesn’t resign with the team for a reasonable deal of say 2-3 million per season, MM34 and a FA or a draft pick or UDFA will battle it out for the job.

nope, I honestly in the sign-Tyvon-Branch-and-pay-a-little-premium-to-keep-him camp.
the way the new salary cap rules are going to affect the overall salary structure is going to be a rude awakening with the new salary floor that begins next year. It hasn’t hit yet, but players are going to command more money strategiacally this year. Watch the premium DL’s get contracts richer than Seymour’s deal. You will see that big Rich is a bargain deal compared to what’s coming down the pike.

Agreed. I like both contracts. Even though it’s a tad overspending for Bush, he probably deserves some love as he’s been a good soldier through it all for the Raiders and has never been a whiny, needy diva. I love the numbers and parameters of these deals.

Rewatching the last game of the season.
First 2 plays McClain stops the RB for no gain, and then stops Gates on 2nd down in pass coverage making it 3rd and 4. Wimbley jumps offsides, 1st dn Chargers.
Yup pretty much the way I remember the season. McClain making plays, stupid penalties, bad safety play.
Right on que, lol, Gio gets a personal foul late hit penalty on the same drive.
February 28th, 2012 at 6:41 am
And than to even that out, you either try to get a more cap-friendly deal or else just cut, or were just going to get cut in the first place:
Wimbley
Tommy Kelly
Aaron Curry
Bruce Campbell
Huffy
Chris Johnson
Sounds extreme, but I’m sure one or two of those guys WOULD restructure, and you waive the others.
Take our medicine defensively, we are going to have to spend some money on offense in the next few years if both Moore and Veldheer continue to rise as players. From their rookie-contracts, they will be due HUGE pay-raises in the next year or two.
Reggie said it in his initial presser. Lots of “waaaaiver wire” transactions Chubby Checker predicted.

the offense is fine. just need some depth, because Pryor & TJones are unproven at the NFL level
the defense will retain Houston, ShoNasty, Bryant and maybe DVD or Chekwa. Probably Seymour if he restructures. Same with the other guys.

February 28th, 2012 at 7:50 am
Offense isn’t fine. CP3 had his moments, but was a pick machine at times. The WR remains inconsistent and hasn’t produced an average WR corp numbers over a season in about a decade. Still waiting on that WR emergence. The running game depends on a fragile boned stud RB and a wimpy speedster backup with no real NFL caliber backup anymore. The O-line will need to transition to the ZBS, and they could transition well, but they could also struggle. Another unknown. CP3 is a year older, and is going to be asked to learn new tricks and avoid old bad habits.
Now I say all this, not to be negative. I still like the potential of the offense, but it’s not just hunky dory either.

I can see you’re a glass half empty kinda guy that probably tries to play that off as being a “realist”
I don’t buy it that Palmer and the young wides wont get better with a full offseason under their belts in a new offense that caters to the running game, which will take the pressure off them and give them more opportunies. Palmer is no longer in the Davis/Saunders/Jackson offense heaving the football up for grabs so the WR CAN MAKE A PLAY

I think Reece will get the second round tender. It will cost us roughly 1.5 mill and if anyone wants him they have to give as a 2nd rounder. That will give us a year to decide if he is worth offering an extension.
I would really like to make Leron McClain a target in FA. Maybe his ethic can get his cousin to show up a bit more.

what if we keep ROMAC because of his contract and he gets beat out by an undrafted kid or some practice squad guy that Reggie grabs from another team?
We’re gonna pay that much for a backup MLB?
I don’t think so. If he continues to suck, he’s outta here. Reggie Mac is a LB himself, he knows how to play the position and whats expected of him
February 28th, 2012 at 8:23 am
BCZ hates me for saying this, but I think we could cut Henderson, CJ37, Eugene & Wimbley. restructure Seymour, Curry & Huff. trade McClain. let Branch walk in free agency
$$$$$$$$$$$$
You want to keep Huff & Curry over Branch & McClain?!
Thank God you are not our GM.
February 28th, 2012 at 8:24 am
Any scenario with Tyvon Branch not in a Raider uniform for years is a FAIL.
February 28th, 2012 at 8:29 am
I remember watching the D just lay down when Detroit went the 98 yards, and again against SD etc. and saying out loud “this can’t be happening”, “this isn’t really happening right now”. “There’s no way this can be happening”. It was almost like a horrible out of body experience, or a horrible nightmare. A state of disbelief. I’d never seen a Raider D crumble THAT badly with so much at stake before that I can ever remember.
I remember getting mad when they would give up 60-70 yds. and let a team drive down for a fg or something, but NEVER that bad.
No matter how much the “Black Hole” exhorted and supported them, or how hard they yelled their support, that horrible D could NOT make a stop.
I never really imagined that a Raider defense could ever be as bad, or crumble with so much at stake as that one did.
They exceed even my wildest nightmares and we are all worse people because of it.
February 28th, 2012 at 8:31 am
We need to add a few DBs. We need better DBs, and we need to improve our pass rush. I think we need to draft a RDE who can rush the passer, and play every down. I think Matt is a better fit at LDE.
February 28th, 2012 at 8:33 am
BCZ,
I don’t think we’re shackled to him anymore than we were with Routt – JMHO
If Reggie wants a player gone, he’s gone!
******************
The cap hit to get rid of McClain is 13.5 million if he is cut, or 8.5 million if he is traded. That is prohibitively expensive for a cap strapped team. Romac will not only be a Raider in 2012, he will start all 16 games (barring injury or suspension)
February 28th, 2012 at 8:34 am
Thank God you are not our GM.

O,
so what will you do if Reggie Mac takes my advice?
February 28th, 2012 at 8:34 am
Shaughnessy is the Raiders’ best bet at RDE this season. Williams and Avril are the only real options in FA, and it’s a very weak draft class.
Raiders might emphasize 3-4 simply because there are more options at rush LB and NT than there are at WLB and RDE.
February 28th, 2012 at 8:37 am
I like CBs Omar Bolden & Trumaine Johnson.
Watching Maruicci and RG3. I like this kid a lot. If we didn’t have TP, I would trade everything we own to get him.

re post 392.
Good and accurate reflection of the nightmare that was the Oakland defense. No guts, no glory. Pathetic execution. Pathetic tackling. Stupid penalties. Of course, the topper was the comment made by Routt after the San Diego debacle. “I think we have a really good defense.” Never accepting responsibility. Never having any consequences for their lousy play and dumb penalties.
Other than that, the defense played okay.
February 28th, 2012 at 8:57 am
Mark Davis loves southern Cal. … that’s no secret!! I personally would prefer the raiders stay in Oakland, but on my way to work. . Everyday I see 15-20 bulldozers flattening out the earth at the walnut.. city of industry site. If the raiders do move, this area would be a better choice than that piece of crap downtown stadium with no room for any type of tailgating. If Oakland doesn’t get a deal done.. m davis will move the team permanently IMO. . If Sacramento can get things right.. why can’t Oakland? ?

I gotta admit, it has been fun watching Dakota have a few come aparts trying to defend the quitter DMAC.
So many of us see what he cannot…his only value to the team is in trade.
He will never, ever run hard and produce for more than half a season. And CERTAINLY will not be a weapon if we get to a playoff game.
Lonetree was spot on – DMAC made a “business decision”. So should Reggie. Find a sucker to trade for the bum. Set the tone for the future. Men only. This is the Raiders not the Chargers.

Ford came out and said McFadden’s injury was way worse than his, and Ford missed 6 games with a sprained foot. Ford said McFadden’s injury was clear across his foot, whereas Ford just sprained a portion of his foot.
Business decision? He tried to come back, and it didn’t work out. He would have been ready for a playoff game according to Hue, and is ready for next year according to our new HC.
Love you idiots who think he should have shot his foot up with painkillers and played on it risking further damage that could have ended his career, and the Raiders chances of competing in the years to come. It wasn’t McFadden’s fault the team couldn’t win 2 out of the final five games to make the payoffs.

There isn’t any one man who by himself cannot be stopped. Calvin, ADP, CJ, Roddy, Fitz, name your stud. It’s a team sport. DMAC is without a doubt the stud that changes the dynamic of the defenses gameplan. They have to account for him any time he’s on the field. He opens up space for the wideouts and is lethal on checkdowns in the flat. His value to the offense is much more than you are claiming.

The Raiders org themselves are at fault for letting you believe that McFadden’s injury wasn’t very serious to begin with. They kept dangling his return as the carrot to sell out games, when they should have just put him on IR, signed a vet like Portis to back up Bush and go about making it into the playoffs.

Lol, Corky believes there is likely resentment? He probably believes there was likely a shooter on the grassy knoll too.
I’ll take Ford’s word for it….he knew McFadden’s injury was much worse than his own, and it cost Ford 6 games.
Same injury cost Schaub the season too.
But hey, a RB should just play through pain in his foot, oh wait, McFadden did that already didn’t he? he played with painfull turf toe his first two years. What a puzzy!

Hey, if McFadden can’t play 10+ games in 2013, then I think everyone will agree it is time to think about cutting bait. We just are not at that point yet. Can’t give up on a young superstar that early.
Other players have suffered injuries early on and overcome them. Charles Woodson. Drew Brees. Philip Rivers. Browns just locked up D’Qwell Jackson after he missed most of 2009 and all of 2010.
Man, the ignorance in here is astounding sometimes!
February 28th, 2012 at 9:55 am
Does anyone know if the mid-foot sprain McFadden had leaves him vulnerable to injury to the foot again? I recall being told by a doctor when I sprained my ankle badly years ago that often a break, depending on its type, doesn’t leave the ankle as susceptible to re-injury as a bad sprain.
February 28th, 2012 at 9:56 am
441. no he did not. Fargas sugged was always injured and was a liability on the goal line.

My buddy is in tight with Eagles trainers and has seen alot of them. Recoverable but a bish.
Theres an outside chance the injury could be a career ender.

BTW, I agree the Raiders had to know how bad the sprain was. Why they play games—it’s in their blood, but it clearly hurt the team that McFadden wasn’t placed on IR and someone brought in to replace him.
That being said, I am actually glad we didn’t make the playoffs for these reasons:
1) It might have made it a harder decision for Hue to be dumped, a decision I am happy with.
2) If, by chance, the Raiders had won that last game and made the playoffs, we still were nothing more than a flailing team, prone to spurts of decent play followed by a greater quantity of poor to mediocre play in a division that was weak. The loss (along with those that preceded it) served to underscore our weaknesses and gave impetus to all involved about the changes that had to be made to make this team competitive over the LONG TERM. This was a good thing.

Heres what I found:
4132/11835. Conservative management of subtle Lisfranc joint injury: a case report.
STUDY DESIGN: Case report.
BACKGROUND: Athletic Lisfranc injuries are characterized by disruption of the soft tissues about the tarsometatarsal joint complex. They are frequently missed on initial consultation due to a paucity of demonstrable physical signs, yet often result in significant disability. This case illustrates the 2 great challenges in managing these injuries: firstly, arriving at an accurate diagnosis and, secondly determining whether the injury is stable and, therefore, appropriate for conservative management
CASE DESCRIPTION: The athlete was a 21-year-old professional basketball player with a recurrent ligamentous injury of the Lisfranc joint. A global approach to evaluation and treatment of the entire lower extremity and pelvis in managing this injury is emphasized.
OUTCOMES: The athlete in this case report made a successful return to his previous level of competition 12 weeks postinjury. At 2-year follow-up he continues to play professionally without any symptoms.
DISCUSSION: In selected cases for which patients have no osseous displacement and the ability to run on the toes soon after injury, conservative management of Lisfranc injury may be appropriate Key features of a conservative approach include recognition of a prolonged recovery time adequate rest for soft tissue healing, restoration of a normal gait pattern to prevent chronic overstress of injured tissues, appropriate orthotic prescription, and proprioceptive retraining. (+info)
Wow, sounds like this guy missed about 12 weeks…..but jeeeez, McFadden is such a puzzy according to Bo and his crew of McFadden haters. It requires prolonged recovery time and adequate rest to prevent further problems, but McFadden should have just done it anyhow! So what if it could have meant the end of his career and our next few seasons! Imbeciles!

Lets be honest, just because McFadden couldn’t feel the foot pain with the torodol shot, doesn’t mean his foot would have been stable enough to allow him to be affective. It’s silly to just assume he is a puss, all the while ignoring the fact that he would most likely have been a detriment on the field.
February 28th, 2012 at 10:33 am

It was the right gamble. We had a fine RB already on our roster named “Reese” and he didn’t get any carries either. Hue chose to put all his eggs in the Bush basket, and he ended up with it all over his face. Bush flopped.
3 YPC the last 6 games… prolly the worst RB in the NFL with that many carries at the time.
And there are tons of Raider fans wanting him BACK???

Raider combine top performers: Running back
by Levi Damien on Feb 25, 2012 12:00 PM PST
Raiders boasts arguably the greatest athlete in sports history at running back. That athlete is the multi-sport star Bo Jackson. He reportedly ran a 4.12 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. He was chosen by the Buccaneers in with first overall pick in the 1986 draft but chose to try his baseball career. The Raider would then get a steal in Jackson in the next draft when they nabbed him in the seventh round. He averaged 5.4 yards per carry over four seasons in the NFL, culminating in a Pro Bowl nod in 1990. But a severe hip dislocation would cut his football career short.
Five years later they drafted Napoleon Kaufman who reportedly ran a 4.31 40 yard dash. Kaufman played for the Raiders for six seasons and stands among the team’s all time leading rushers.
In 2003, the team drafted Justin Fargas who is tied for the best broad jump in combine history at 11′5″.
Darren McFadden is the current combine standout for the Raiders. He ran a 4.33 40 yard dash which was the second best time by a running back in the last decade behind only combine record holder Chris Johnson. McFadden also tied for 4th among running backs in the broad jump in 2008. He was chosen with the fourth overall pick by the Raiders that year. In 2010 he became the first Raider player to reach 1000 rushing yards and 500 receiving yards since Marcus Allen in 1986. Thus far that is the closest to a full healthy season he has had in the NFL.

Josh Robinson hand-timed at 4.29 seconds in the 40
Posted by Michael David Smith on February 28, 2012, 12:59 PM EST
AP
As the NFL Scouting Combine wraps up, we have our first sub-4.3-second 40-yard dash.
Central Florida cornerback Josh Robinson was hand-timed at 4.29 seconds, according to NFL Network. That makes him, unofficially, the fastest player at the Combine this year.
CBS Sports has him going in the 4th RD……
Go get’em Reggie!!!!

When do you guys think Janoris Jenkins gets drafted at?
February 28th, 2012 at 10:41 am
Lets be honest, just because McFadden couldn’t feel the foot pain with the torodol shot, doesn’t mean his foot would have been stable enough to allow him to be affective. It’s silly to just assume he is a puss, all the while ignoring the fact that he would most likely have been a detriment on the field.
>>>>
No kidding. Its kinda easy for the Madden players to second guess McFadden… I ran track in college and had a small bruise on the bottom of my foot from running the steeplechase… it was debilitating. Foot injuries are not something to be messed with. Its like saying someone with a torn knee should just shoot up and play.
Crazy talk here sometimes…

So ugly watching him call the same formations with 2nd 3rd stringers through out the year and giving up leads and games.
Like a bad dream kept happening even though it was clearly pointed out what he was doing.
Partly the players fault but as DC hes responsible for putting them in there and knowing they were in there calling Tampa 2-3 and giving up deep throws late in games.

Exactly.
Any leg injury can get worse with use, sometimes severely worse. Instead of being out a game or 4, you’re now out the year.
Ask Jim Otto on how he feels about playing with injuries to the knee, or ankles.

So yeah, the next time U see that car following or van across the street or experience a glitch on your computers U sould wonder.

Its just common sense really… not only can you screw the effected part up more, you favor the healthy leg and screw the rest of your body up. If we could do things perfectly well with one leg, the human body would possess just one leg.

473. I might lookm at RG if we didnt have Palmer and Terrelle in waiting.
Palmer could be gone in 2-3 yrs, Terrelle may not be a system fit and could go too (mistake that. we could should try him as a Newton, Tebow Wildcat guy first)

I’m not sold on Knapp but I like the nod toward furthering the Oakland Hybrid program. It was a bust last year due to injury and instability but I hope the new regime can further it to the O and the D.
They’ll have to try to make the hybrid work with alot of their current roster which is why some are saying it could take 2-3 yrs.

Do you go with Peyton on his last legs with a questionable shoulder or bet the future on a great College prospect who could give you 10 yrs of QB play?
Thats a nice predicament for KC.

Since others want to cross-post here is a cross-post from CSN Bay area:
http://www.csnbayarea.com/blog/raiders-talk/post/McKenzie-not-fazed-by-out-of-whack-contr?blockID=646820&feedID=2801
In this article it discusses possible out of whack contracts and then lists estimates of contract amounts for this season. Here are the ones he listed. I think this is a lot more relevant to what is in RM and DA’s plate right now rather than tagging an average back up running back!
Here is the list with my guess on outcome followed by my hope for outcome.
TE Kevin Boss: due $2 million (Cut, but hope he restructures)
RG Cooper Carlisle: due $3 million (Cut, not sure about restructuring but a good ZBS guard)
LB Aaron Curry: due $5.76 million (Restructures, that is what I hope for)
FS Hiram Eugene: due $2.25 million (Cut and Cut)
DT John Henderson: due $4 million (Cut and Cut)
WR Darrius Heyward-Bey: entering fourth year of five-year, $38.25-million deal with $23.5 million guaranteed (Most money already spent no change)
FS Michael Huff: due $16 million over next three years (Cut but hope he restructures and moves to CB)
CB Chris Johnson: due $3.5 million (Cut and Cut)
DT Tommy Kelly: due $6 million (Cut and Cut)
P Shane Lechler: due $3.8 million (No action but should consider restructuring)
MLB Rolando McClain: entering third year of five-year, $40-million deal with $23 million guaranteed (Most money already gone no changes)
RB Darren McFadden: due $5.65 million (No changes)
QB Carson Palmer: due $12.5 million, with $5 million guaranteed (No changes but should consider restructuring)
CB Stanford Routt: due $5 million, plus another $5 million “signing bonus” (Already gone)
DT Richard Seymour: due $7.5 million, plus another $7.5 million roster bonus (Already given bonus here to stay probably one year left)
LB Kamerion Wimbley: entering second year of five-year, $48 million contract, with $29 million guaranteed. (Cut, Cut with extreme prejudice).

DHB’s contract was actually kind of a stroke of genius by AL. Obviously we overdrafted him and he made to much money, but instead of giving him a ridiculous bonus that would have given us a silly cap hit for the life of the deal, he paid DHB 22 million in salary in 2010 (uncapped year)
DHB now costs us 2.1 mil this year, and 2.7 mill next year, and neither is guaranteed.

If Pittsburgh wants to address this in free agency, there’s no better fit than Michael Bush. After Darren McFadden went down last year, Bush proved he could carry the load at running back in all facets of the game. Yes, he wore down a bit near the end of the season, but I’ll chalk that up to an RB getting his first chance to be a feature back after a few of years of minimal activity. Bush has the ability to just punish teams physically and emotionally. I give him whatever money he wants.Jason Smith NFL.com

Soooo…imagine our surprise when our local Chief of Police (a personal friend AND a huge Raider fan!) called us this morning and asked why he was being contacted by the office of Homeland Security in regard to US.
Apparently a “stalker” posting on a well known Raider blog caught their attention (YIKES!) somehow and our name came up.
We’re not sure how or why but we’ll keep you posted.
Bizarre day!

There’s about six teams ready to give the Rams just about anything they want. Don’t think they want anything from us.

I don’t know…another #2? But with the chance at RGIII, I can see how this can be intriguing

Afternoon Fellas,
Let’s see if Reggie can get a 2nd For Wimbley.
We’d eat the bonus portion of His contract, but would free up some cap space.
Maybe Reggie parlays the 2nd into a 1st with pieces added, or trades down for additional picks.
We can get by without Him, and the Salary.

Plus hip hop hos are way skankier than reggae hos, and my weiner was coming down with a bad case of dandruff.
Yo check out this mad flow, new mellow love jam for Rasta Ganja, imagine making out in a sensitive, seductive manner with your lady, while a stripper tosses your salad -
Yo Bob Marley, Jamaica in effect

Just re-financed my home mortgage down to a 12 year 3.5% fixed interest rate loan, saving me approximately 25K in interest. Cost us $495.00 in fees lol!
Payments stayed almost identical thanks to the drop in interest from 5.75% to 3.5%.
That is a good day’s work!
With the extra $300 a month we throw on top of our payment, we will have our home paid off in 7 years. So 7 years plus the previous 5 we have paid on our house means we paid off our home in 12 years and saved about $110,000.00 in interest that we would have paid had we paid our original 30 year mortgage per the amortization schedule.
Now that is some saving fellas!

Rockstar,
This is what I’ve been able to dig up…
8/1/2011: Signed a five-year, $48 million contract. The deal contains $29 million guaranteed, including a $4.25 million signing bonus, Wimbley’s 2011 salary, and $6.5 million of his 2012 salary. Wimbley’s full 2012 salary becomes guaranteed if he’s on the roster through March 17 of that year. 2012-2013: $11 million, 2014: $10 million, 2015: $11.5 million, 2016: Free Agent

Thoughts on the offseason;
While it appears as if there isn’t going to be a lot of money to play with, I do think we will address corner and running back in free agency. Too young at corner now to roll with that next year, and McFadden’s backup will have to know protections and so forth. The corner will probably be expensive, but a good backup RB with some ZBS experience shouldn’t break the bank. A linebacker with 3-4 and 4-3 experience would be a bonus.
It makes sense that the team is looking hard at d-linemen and linebackers at the combine. In my opinion, when the times comes you take the best player available between those two position groups regardless of what else is on your board. We have no depth at linebacker and nobody to play the middle of the d-line in a 3-4.
Love to see us grab someone like Ta’Amu, Vinny Curry or Shea McClellin, but we may have to settle for a Derek Wolfe, Keenan Robinson or Bobby Wagner. Hoping that Jean-Baptiste sticks around until the fifth round so we at least have an option there.
February 28th, 2012 at 3:10 pm

February 28th, 2012 at 4:03 pm
There was someting stinky about that Javon deal. We were BLEEDING for WRs and he was sitting on the sideline arms folded. Writers saying he looked sharp in practice…
He got Marcus’ed (to a lessor extent of course) after he went to Isreal for a knee procedure. Al did NOT like that…

____________________________________________________
He was criticized almost from the start in 2008 by former Raiders coach Lane Kiffin for being out of shape in offseason workouts and then was seriously injured in June during a robbery in Las Vegas.
He contemplated retirement in his first training camp before being talked out of it by Raiders owner Al Davis. Walker played eight games his first season in Oakland before being sidelined by a season-ending ankle injury.
He had knee surgery last offseason out of the country without telling the team and barely played in 2009. He appeared in only three games and caught no passes, fumbling on his only punt return chance.
Walker never cracked the lineup despite Oakland’s struggles at receiver. The Raiders’ corps of wide receivers combined for 95 catches and seven touchdowns.

Just finished partying at Jer Ne with the Certified Platinum Posse and rung up a $600 bar tab.
Please don’t worry about my taxes, we’re going to deduct it all as a business meeting.
Although the only business going on was the undercover hand jiggity I got from this wasted event planner from Malibu.
Trust me, my event was planned perfectly. Meaning, she helped me achieve a powerful and satisfying ejaculatory experience.
Heading out to the pool to work on some sweet lyrics for my hot new reggae band Rasta Ganja and sound check for my afternoon DJ gig.
Love to hear about your afternoon, could use a few laughs

Master Beeecham,
How’s it crackin, baby ??? The other night you were talking about your Rasta band. Reminds me when I first came to LA. I met a guy, called himself RastaMan, in Korea Town: huge, tall guy, here, straight from Jamaica, with 3 ft dreadlocks.
He sold he a brand new Cadillac for $300;
Then he sold me a key of ganga, all footlong flowers for $100.
Then he fronted me a carload of beauty girls, who cruised with me in the caddie smoking that ganga going from Rasta club to Rasta club.
After awhile RastaMan and I were tight. Some other things happened, unbelievable things, between him and me.
Well, it would make some great lyrics – that story.

Len that was funny. The concept of what the “open market” would offer Kamerion vs. what Al Davis offered him is making me chuckle…I’d say he’d be offered HALF.
No but really, it’s not Kamerion’s fault Al was not in his right mind when he offered that deal, and he’s only got a few good eraning years left in his career (if lucky), maybe he just tries REAL hard to earn as much of it as he can.
I wonder if we could null and void that deal since clearly one of the signers was demented.
February 28th, 2012 at 4:46 pm

Len that was funny. The concept of what the “open market” would offer Kamerion vs. what Al Davis offered him is making me chuckle…I’d say he’d be offered HALF.
No but really, it’s not Kamerion’s fault Al was not in his right mind when he offered that deal, and he’s only got a few good eraning years left in his career (if lucky), maybe he just tries REAL hard to earn as much of it as he can.
I wonder if we could null and void that deal since clearly one of the signers was demented.

We can.
Just cut Him, pay Him 6.5 mil to go away.
End of story.
No further monies owed.
I’d prefer we trade Him.

BrownStains, why don’t you call my cell again, and tell me what you REALLY think about me? Lol.
February 28th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
Munster, you collected all my post and re-posted them. That makes you the pathetic one, right?
You posted a link to your place of work with a pic of your not so hot wife. That makes you the most pathetic idiot to ever log into this site.
The end
February 28th, 2012 at 4:51 pm

^^^^^^^
Paying a player like Wimbley 6.5 mill to go away…especially when he is still serviceable as a down RDE full time is just a complete waste IMO.
Unless he is a sorry azz lazy sizzerup drinking bum like JaMarcus, then they need to find a way to trade Wimbely or restructure.

Munster, do you know the definition of stalking? Google is free why dont you give it a whirl!

You don’t need to obsess on me 24/7.

KK The Clown,
I’ve only seen females talk about having a “stalker”. Never in my life have I seen a male do what you are doing. Seriously…maybe go back to repeating “get a life”
February 28th, 2012 at 5:02 pm
present participle of stalk (Verb)
Verb:
Pursue or approach stealthily: “a cat stalking a bird”.
Harass or persecute (someone) with unwanted and obsessive attention: “the fan stalked the actor”.
BrownStains, stalking KoolKell 24/7

Tanzania
Australia

Hong Kong
And I’m probably missing a few. That’s why the Trolls are attracted to me.

Oakland Raiders blog semi-pro JustFireBaby (AKA Vegas) has been contacted by newly appointed Raider GM Reggie McKenzie. GM McKenzie is of the mindset to fire just about everyone and he wished input from Vegas.
Word has it that Stefan Wisniewski and Denarius Moore were the only names agreed upon as definite keepers.

forget tagging bush. Maybe Branch. Better to work out long term deal. 7.7 million for backup RB when we need D? Need to keep priorities straight

[...] To tag or not to tag Bush Teams have had a week to use the franchise tag on one of their own players. As of now, none has opted to go that route. The Raiders have until Monday to decide whether to use the tag on running back Michael Bush, safety Tyvon Branch or one of their o… [...]
