Huff likes idea of Manning in AFC West
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, March 19th, 2012 at 11:24 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders road back to prominence in the AFC West will go through Peyton Manning.
The news that Manning, who reportedly instructed his agent to work out a deal with the Denver Broncos Monday, was greeted enthusiastically by Raiders free safety Michael Huff.
Huff, who restructured his contract in order to stay with the Raiders in 2012, went so far as to say he was hoping Manning would sign with Denver.
“I think it’s great. If you want to be the best you’ve got to beat the best,’’ Huff said by phone. “When he became a free agent it was where I was hoping he would go. He’s a Hall of Fame quarterback and if you’re a competitor you want to go against guys like that.
On Twitter as well as Internet message boards, speculation began immediately that Manning’s presence would like thrust the Raiders into the spotlight with a Sunday night or Monday night opener.
The Raiders opened the season on Monday night in Denver last season, winning 23-20, and have hosted the Broncos in a Monday night opener in 2008, losing 41-14.
With the A’s on the road in Seattle, the Raiders would be available to host a prime time opener on Sept. 9 or 10.
“Prime time football, the Raiders, the Broncos, it would be the perfect scenario,’’ Huff said.
Denver, 8-8, is the defending division champion on tiebreakers and now likely the prohibitive favorite with Manning replacing Tim Tebow.
For his career, Manning has a 3-2 record against the Raiders, winning the last three, and has completed 113 of 184 passes (61.4 percent) for 1,261 yards, 12 touchdowns and eight interceptions for a passer rating of 85.4.
Oakland has intercepted Manning at least once in each of the five games.
In free agency news, the Raiders have not confirmed a visit with cornerback Tracy Porter, whose 74-yard interception return for a touchdown against Manning was the deciding play in Super Bowl XLIV for the New Orleans Saints.
Porter has been linked with the Raiders, who are in the market for cornerbacks, in part because Raiders coach Dennis Allen was the defensive backs coach with the Saints during the Super Bowl season.
The Raiders did confirm a recent visit with 49ers cornerback Shawntae Spencer.
Linebacker Kamerion Wimbley, released Friday when he and the Raiders couldn’t come to an agreement on a reduced contract, was reportedly visiting the Tennessee Titans.

Looking foward to MNF opener when the Raiders knock Peyton around and welcome him back to the NFL.
Perhaps making his comeback really short lived!

Lol, come on man, everyone knows Manning almost always gets rid of the ball before anyone can touch him….he has been doing so for years, and it is unlikely to change.

Nope!!!!
PM has to go through us.
We broke the penalty record, our GM/ owner passed, we had a lot of injuries (JC & DMAC were huge losses), we had the worst DC in the business (one of the worst defenses since the merger), We had Cable as our HC last season, and we gave the division away 2 consecutive years.
We Will Win The West

We can finally put this manning issue to rest and denver is not hard to beat even with manning. Their DC (whose defense kept them in games) is now our head coach. They have to start over. And yeah if we didnt have pryor i would trade for teblow so he can run wild over his old donks
March 19th, 2012 at 11:39 am
How can someone who writes about the Raiders consider Wimbley a “top” pass rusher? All credibility goes out the window at that point.
March 19th, 2012 at 11:40 am
Honestly, KC and SD are more challenging that the Donkeys at the moment even with Manning. I really wish we sign another good CB (Porter?), some LBs and another pass rusher in FA.

Contrary to previous reports, SI.com’s Peter King is told free agent Alex Smith is “very serious” about the Dolphins if they’re serious about him.
Translation: Show me the money. It’s impossible to tell how much of this is posturing, but it’s easy to see that Smith’s best avenue to get the 49ers to increase their standing offer is to have the Dolphins as a serious landing spot. If common sense prevails on all sides, Smith will re-sign in San Francisco.

I was being sarcastic with JFB.
March 19th, 2012 at 11:50 am
This couldn’t be any worse for the BRONCOS. Tebow made plays because he always had to run. Peyton can’t run. I would watch Broncos games and laugh at how terrible their receivers were, they never got open, so tebow made something happen. Now everybody thinks because of manning the receivers will get open? Not to mention their vastly improved but still average defense last year was the product of dennis allen. Prior to him they were a joke of a defense. Mcghee is old, moreno is a bust, They will still go 8-8. The raiders on the other hand were 8-8 with a backup rb, a qb that came in half way through the season, a retard for a head coach, and a joke of a d.c. All that will now change, The Raiders will be much more disciplined and if DMac can stay healthy, watch out.

With Denver’s defense and Peyton running the show, they are the AFC West favorites. Sorry guys, just being the realist here. KC will be tough and SD is going backwards.

This kid Kaepernick we think might be better than BOTH of them COMBINED!! Hold, on I have another call coming in…..Thank God Vinnie Testaverde still has an agent…”

Tebow made plays with his legs because he is a shotty QB. They had to install an entirely new offense just for him to be serviceable.
PM doesn’t need to run. He can throw. And he makes recievers that play for him better.

Bud Adams said he felt that Elway was the deciding factor for Manning. (I always felt that Manning might not trust that Harbaugh would let he (Manning) run the offense).
However, I really don’t know why Elway should actually be that decisive a factor unless it’s just his sheer competitiveness that did it. I’d say that maybe establishing a friendship with another outstanding qb might somehow be attractive to Manning, yet that doesn’t much make sense either. Just wondering, really.

If we had a better Offensive Coordinator I’d still be confident about our winning the AFC West. Now I am a bit in doubt.
Because I don’t see our defense improving enough to overcome the offensive conservative 8 years out of date scheme that Knapp runs.
============================================
The last time Knapp ran an offense with decent weapons, he was Top 10. We’ll be fine.
==================
When Knapp last ran a successful offense it was a TOTALLY different league. The rules on defenses have changed making a much heavier emphasis on the passing game and ability to move the ball through the air.
I mean…I think you’re talking about SFO right? Not with Michael Vick and the #16 (at best) offenses.

As of now, the Bronco’s getting Manning is meaningless. Its what they plug in around him that will make it a great pick up or not.
I suspect they will try to bolster the line and WR’s… and have the cap space to do it. They already have a good defense.
Its why I predicted he’d end up there in the first place.

Denver made the playoffs and beat Pittsburgh with a high school offense and the worst QB in the NFL last year.
Next season they’ll have Manning starting instead of Tebow, they just got a lot tougher, stop downplaying the move.
Denver has a solid Defense and a great Defensive HC in Fox, Manning will have a tough D to rely on for the first time in his career instead of the small, fast and built to play with a lead Defense he always had in Indy.
And as far as weapons go, Denver’s OL is pretty good, Erick Decker and Demayrius Thomas are big, fast talented WR’s about to hit their prime, not too bad.
Denver still has plenty of cap room and a full slate of Draft picks to add another impact player or two.

We got some good years out of Gallery. Granted, he was hurt a lot but once he got to finally settle on a position he was a pretty good player.
I wonder if Peter King will say anything about Tebow being a first-round pick and the Broncos getting less than one full season out of him at QB before most likely either cutting him or trading him for a mid-round pick?
March 19th, 2012 at 12:59 pm
I think Denver will keep Tebow, use him in special occasions.
March 19th, 2012 at 1:00 pm
Regarding Gallery – BSPN said he was a “can’t miss” pick and would be an “all pro LT for a decade.” When he was picked everyone said the Raiders did the right thing. When he did not develop it was all because the Raiders did not know how to develop talent. Could it be that the BSPN draft gurus as well as AD simply missed on a Draft Pick. BSPN also said we “had to” pick JR. When he did not pan out same thing. The Raiders do not know how to develop talent. Really? Could it be that MK missed a pick again??? If AD is an idiot for picking these two then what is MK??? So sick of BSPNs jive.

If Denver spends all available cap space (50M) bolstering the offense around Manning, the only way Oak wins the AFCW next year is if either McF, or Palmer have a MVP season (or Manning gets injured.)
The following year? Thats a different story… we should have much better defense by then…
Just my opinion.

Exactly. There are 31 other teams that have had top ten picks that turned out worse than Gallery in the past.
JaMoney was the pick that set us back a few years… Gallery didn’t set us back much at all. He wasn’t great all the time, but he had a decent career for us. Plus he helped Veldheer develop as quick as he did… kinda surprised McK didn’t go after him.

Apparently with many on this blog it is not that obvious. Gallery was the 2nd overall pick. Tebow was at the end of the 1st round. Gallery’s contract was much bigger than Tebow’s. Tebow was a starting QB for the better part of a year and led them to a playoff win. Do I think he is a great QB – no. But he did that. Now he will probably fetch a 2nd rounder from Jacksonville so they almost get their pick back. Raiders will get a FA comp pick probably in the 6th round for Gallery. There is no comparison Denver got way more value for Tebow than Raiders did for Gallery.
March 19th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
Anyone consider the possibility of Manning going to Denver for not only the money (SF and Ten probably offered the same money), but also to usurp Tebowmania, show everyone that he’s the big show in the AFC?

Here I go making another obvious point. it matters where you are picked. It means you get a big contract vs. little contract. If Gallery was a 6th rounder and started as a LG for two years he would have been a great value but not as a 2nd overall pick. That means we not only overpaid for him but that we lost out on some of the other talent picked after him.

REgarding #157 being an average guard for two years is not getting value out of a #2 overall pick that was picked as your franchise LT.
********************************************************
Thanks for stating the obvious. What I was saying is that we got way more out of Gallery than the Broncos did with Tebow, but you won’t hear anything about them getting less than a full season out of him and then letting him go.
I think a team would be stupid to trade for Tebow right now. Anyone with half a brain will know that Denver wants to rid itself of him as quickly as possible. Wait until they cut him.
******************************
Apparently with many on this blog it is not that obvious. Gallery was the 2nd overall pick. Tebow was at the end of the 1st round. Gallery’s contract was much bigger than Tebow’s. Tebow was a starting QB for the better part of a year and led them to a playoff win. Do I think he is a great QB – no. But he did that. Now he will probably fetch a 2nd rounder from Jacksonville so they almost get their pick back. Raiders will get a FA comp pick probably in the 6th round for Gallery. There is no comparison Denver got way more value for Tebow than Raiders did for Gallery.
********************************************************
If you’re happy with getting 9 or 10 games out of your first-round pick and then letting him go for nothing or next to nothing over getting solid play for two or three years from Gallery, then I’m glad you’re nowhere near the Raiders’ personnel department.
Neither pick was a good one, but c’mon.
March 19th, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Here I go making another obvious point. it matters where you are picked.
>>>>
Only if you are playing Madden. All organizations know that there are first rounders that don’t turn out, while some 7th rounders that do. It all balances out. Why? The draft is and always will be a CRAP SHOOT.
You are not playing fantasy football here… sorry.
How many people care where Ford, and Moore were picked, fer instance? Admit it… you don’t care.

new offense, new teammates, new climate (weather) and fanbase. this guy played no football at all last year

he’s playing this year. Has played in various weather with various teammates before. Never had 4 neck surgeries before though. We have 5-6 months to decide how to deal with it and he has same time to do the same
really, we have to concentrate on our own team. What’s the difference, our division already had Phillip Rivers. Ain’t gonna change our plan much beyond 2 games a year.

March 19th, 2012 at 1:30 pm
So, Manning cares more about the legacy of the AFC West than he does his own image and reputation, which he saw become overshadowed by Tebowmania last year as he sat the season out? OK…
March 19th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
“As Manning sat out the entire year, he saw Tim Tebow become THE man and THE bit story in the conference that he and Tom Brady used to share. Now, just like that, Tebow is an irrelevant backup. You tell me.”
I do think a good point is made here–anybody like Manning, used to the spotlight, does have withdrawal when that spotlight diminishes. Many times we are apt to think only primadonnas feel this way, but I think it’s human nature.
With Luck joing Indy, the first time Manning threw a few interceptions or didn’t perform with wins, fans, being fickle, would’ve called for Luck. Even though Manning is a pro, knows the business, that would still hurt, hurt anyone. Of course, that option of Indy was taken off the table a while back, and probably for those reasons.
As for why he didn’t choose Titans–college football is still numero uno in Tennessee.
Denver makes Peyton a king, and he is used to being a king. I think he was comfortable with Elway staying in the background.
SF’s king is Harbaugh, make no mistake about that, and Peyton knows it.

This.
Im sure DA has a trick or two up his sleeve for Denver. In all my life as a Raiders fan, I was NEVER “worried” about Denver going into a season, and that includes the seasons they went to the SB. Thats not gonna change because Peyton chose to have his career ended there. Denver won some fluke games because they caught teams off guard with Tebows awkwardness. Yeah, they had a “pretty” good D last year, but it wasnt DOMINANT. They shut down weak teams during a favorable part of their schedule, and that was about it. Did everyone forget that WE now have the DC responsible for Denvers defensive turnaround. If Raiders play an ounce of D last year, we’re not talking about Denvers playoffs last year.
We were a better team than Denver last year. We will be better than Denver this year.

If those of you who are optimistic about Knapp are right, we will be right in the thick of things to win our division because our defense will definitely be improved.
If those of you (such as myself) are right, and Knapp sticks to his out-dated ideas and schemes and goes full-on conservative, then we’ll be an 8-8 or 7-9 team this year.

Khalif Barnes 2011 Raiders > Robert Gallery with other teams
who RT 2012 ? RT=Bookend key OL key offense 2012
I know many of you don’t agree but I think Khalif Barnes gave us a pretty good year at RT. Keeping him motivated and his head in the game may always be an issue, but the tackle market is pretty thin, so he may be back whether y’all like it or not. He was signed by Cable when we ran a ZBS and he can do the job if he wants to.
Khalif Barnes 2011 Raiders RT sacks allowed 3.5 for 15 yards; penalties 11 false start 6 holds 3 16 games started. Not bad stats
Last year our OL had low sacks & good run blocking but high penalties. Not bad. I think a key was bringing a lot of decent players in to compete best start worst cut.
Khalif less holds than most of our OLs in 2011 sad to say

Shawntae Spencer is not a cornerback who should stay unemployed for very long. The San Francisco 49ers announced his release on Thursday for a couple of reasons, none of which fall into the category of “not performing to expectations.” In fact, Spencer continually outperformed what was expected of him while playing for the 49ers, and was always better than he’ll ever be given credit for. It was injuries and a lack of familiarity that made the 49ers go in another direction – they simply had other plans for the cornerback position.
A lockout and some training camp injuries forced Spencer into inactivity for much longer than he was actually injured, and once he did return, he got hurt again. These aren’t injuries that look terribly bad on his resume, considering it was turf toe that sidelined him a second time (or something like it), and that’s essentially unavoidable. In short, the 49ers just weren’t able to dedicate time to catching him up to speed on the system and giving him time when they have a guy like Carlos Rogers having a breakout year and rookie Chris Culliver trying to learn the ropes.
Now, the 49ers are trying to get younger at the position, with Perrish Cox being brought in as a guy who is high on potential, and there’s not a whole lot of room for an aging Spencer. More than that, there’s not a whole lot of room for a guy who is making more than $3 million and was not healthy in 2011.
And that’s why the cut was made, more than anything – he’s not going to make $3 million per year. That isn’t to say he can’t play at that level for one season, he just can’t convince a team of that before actually getting onto a football field. Before all of the lockout nonsense, Spencer had worked his way into the starting lineup and was easily better than Nate Clements at most things – especially coverage.
Spencer won the starting job back when he wasn’t even considered a factor. He wasn’t even given the “dark horse” candidate label, he just simply was a non-factor. Then he impressed Greg Manusky and the rest of the 49ers coaching staff, and he got the job. He covered very well, though he didn’t force a lot of turnovers. One thing Spencer did very well was cover Larry Fitzgerald, something that remains somewhat of an anomaly at this point.
At any rate, I’m establishing that Spencer has something left in the tank, providing that he’s healthy, and will find a team and get some playing time in 2012.

Raiders agreed to terms with CB Shawntae Spencer on a one-year contract.
The 30-year-old is staying in the Bay Area after starting 72-of-98 games over the past eight years. He was often a game-day inactive last season after losing his starting job in training camp. Spencer joins former Rams veteran Ron Bartell in a rebuilt cornerback corps. Tracy Porter is scheduled to visit Oakland as well.

I don’t think it’s about money with Manning. Manning’s family had money growing up. As long as he has enough to live in a nice neighborhood, nice house, put his kids through school, he’s good on that. I don’t see Peyton having a Trump-like lust for the finer things. Who didn’t grow up around kids that come from athletic families? We all know them. They’re all about competition. Besting someone, or not letting themselves be bested, is more important to them than money. Manning watched Tebow because the big AFC story while he sat out last year. Today he ends Tebowmania with one stroke of a pen.

He will battle CC DVD or TP for a starting position along side Bartell. If he loses the battle he will be used as Nichel and Dime back. This is an upgrade over Shepard or Johnson. I think Bartell is an upgrade over Routt. TP may still come as well.

OK, so our secondary is now set.
***
LOL @ Duck
chop chop Routt, CJ37 & Sheppard
replace them with Bartell, Spencer & Underwood = all set?
yikes! I hope you’re dead wrong bro
===============================================
FS – Huff, backed up by Underwood
SS – Branch, backed up by Mitchell
CBs – Spencer and Bartell, backed up/pushed by DVD and Chekwa.
I’ll roll with that combo.
March 19th, 2012 at 2:22 pm
Chekwa & Bartell will definately make the cut at cornerback and be our starters.
(still hope Raiders sign Porter myself)
Branch & Huff start at safety
(hope they resign Giordano)
DVD, Spencer, Mitchell, McCann, Underwood, drafted rookie, undrafted rookie; that’s seven players fighting for 5-6 positions
March 19th, 2012 at 2:22 pm
Now that Spencer is on board, the Raiders should sign:
CB Tracy Porter
LB JoLonn Dunbar
LB Rocky McIntosh or LB Leroy Hill
NT Antonio Garay
OT Anthony Collins
QB Billy Volek
March 19th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
Payton gets to run the offence as he has in the past in Indy and that was not the case in S.F. Denver feels they will be ahead in most game situations so the D wont be playing from behind! Hmmmmmm!
March 19th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
If we get porter that will be a much better group than last yr..
March 19th, 2012 at 2:24 pm
RaiderRockstar Says:
so you’re assuming Peyton Manning is gonna come right in and throw for 4700 yards & 33 TD’s again?.
———————————————–
He doesn’t have to do that.
I think he knows those days are likely over for him or at least, that if he has to put up numbers like that, chances are his team won’t be doing as good.
Like Elway in the final years of his career, I guess Manning is looking forward to playing with a solid Defense and a strong running game, so he doesn’t have to carry the entire team like he used to.
I think that’s what Elway and John Fox sold to him, come to a playoff team led by a tough Defense, a good OL and a run-first mentality that’s only missing a QB and you will get a shot at another ring.
I don’t know if it will work, but I can see why he went there.
Same can be said for SF but I don’t think Harbaugh and Manning would have worked for obvious reasons and the Titans seem to be farther away than Denver, a huge factor when considering time is running out for Peyton.

Breaking News:
Four California-based sports agent firms recently had to close their doors. Sources inside each of the four firms confirmed that the end of the gravy train of bad contracts shelled out by Al Davis is the primary reason for the closures. More on this story on our ten o’clock broadcast.
March 19th, 2012 at 2:26 pm
It’s more logical than any other reason, Dakota.
Denver on the verge of a Super Bowl? No.
Money? He was set for life already. His daddy was a former NFL player. I see nothing in Peyton’s personality or behavior that’s similar to say, Donald Trump, or someone who puts money above all else.
Don’t you know people who come from athletic families? Dad pushes them into sports? You didn’t grow up around these guys. I sure did. They’re all about showing people up and not letting themselves be shown up. They’re wired for it. Manning saw the AFC go from being a conference shared by him and Tom Brady to a conference shared by Tebow and Brady. Now Tebow’s a backup.
March 19th, 2012 at 2:27 pm

Doubt we’re taking a look at Porter now. With all the holes on our roster and limited cap space, Reggie’s not about to pay someone $1.5 mil to be a nickelback.
Notice also that both Spencer and Bartell got one-year deals, clearing the way to either give DVD and Chekwa the jobs or draft replacements in 2013.

March 19th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
We’ve already completely improved our secondary over last seasons, for WAY less than what we paid for it last season. Good job Reggie. We havent even hit the draft yet and hes already improved one unit of our squad. As long as we keep improving, unit by unit, we’re in good shape. Cant wait to see what the plan is for the LB unit and how thats gonna improve.

That might hold merit if you could find one NFL player who bought into Teblowmania…..but the only people who fell for it were Skip Bayless and a bunch of clueless fans. The players, and Manning, know the truth about Teblow and are not threatened in the least by him.
Manning could not care less about Teblow.

Okay, so we find another couple LBs. If we sign Porter still as another CB all the better.

Not just a game manager, a Hall of Fame QB, one of the best ever and the one guy that allowed them to dump Tebow without pissing off the fan base and without losing the publicity and spotlight Tebow brought to that team.
Manning is gonna make a ton of money, but so what?.
Denver still has millions in cap room, even after signing Manning, why would they settle for anyone else?.
Manning to Denver was a great business decision for both and it really has a chance to work football-wise.

Bartell in BEAST MODE 2012 …to get more money in 2013
Love this signing. Calculated gamble. This guy can cover, play the ball (knock it down, not good catching INT) and hit hard enough to cause some fumbles…if he’s up to it after that neck injury.
If it doesn’t work out, we just let him walk, only out a little. It’s not even 3 million till all the incentives kick in.
If he makes the comeback, he’ll want more money in 2013. He was making like 6-6.5 million per year before he got hurt.
I’m sure it was Bartell who wanted the contract for only 1 year. He wants a raise once he proves he’s healthy
and when he goes ALL BEAST on Malcolm Floyd, locks down Dwayne Bowe’ fat ass, and messes up Peyton Manning’s whole time, Raider Nation will be happy to pay up

Eight years ago, Pitt cornerback Shawntae Spencer didn’t get an invitation to the Scouting Combine. And, proving conclusive that the folks who work for the scouting services don’t work for NFL teams for a reason, Spencer was drafted in round two. (Facing Larry Fitzgerald in practice tends to get a guy ready for the next level.)
Spencer’s time with the 49ers has ended, but he’ll be staying in the Bay Area. Per a league source, Spencer has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Raiders.
The Raiders need cornerbacks, after losing Nnamdi Asomugha last year and running off Stanford Routt and Chris Johnson. The move reunites Spencer with Raiders defensive coordinator Jason Tarver, who worked for seven years with Spencer in San Francisco.
Spencer fell out of favor under new coach Jim Harbaugh, which ultimately led to Spencer’s release.

First person that came to mind when I heard pm going to Denver was shaughnessy or curry. If curry hits manning like he hit the lt from sd, peytons heard might roll off, sad but true.

If we spend money for Bartell, Spencer AND Porter, I think Reggie’s just given us his opinion of DVD and Chekwa, and it ain’t good.

DVD & Chekwa were the only 2 CBs on the roster
Don’t you need at least 5?
Throw in that 2 of them got 1 yr prove it deals..it only makes sense
=============================================
McCann’s also on the roster. Doesn’t change that in Year 2, when you’d expect both these cats to push for starting jobs, Reggie’s bringing in replacements instead.
==================================================
Who’s to say Dvd & CC wont compete for a starting position?
It just happens to be March…let things play out
As far as im concerned Dvd & CC are still on the team and will compete for a position.
Routt,Cj & Lito were cut not these 2

Actually, not true at all….the doctors claim that after this surgery Manning’s neck is may even be stronger than before and he stands no more of a chance of suffering a devastating neck injury than any other player in the NFL.

WE CAN STILL TRY NO BOUNTIES NECESSARY

Now Denver has its QB. Why not bring in Tebow! Its better than interception king we have! Cut Palmer, bring in the young gun, Tebow! This willresurrect the team with a young gun!
