Raiders confirm Spencer, Carlisle returns
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, March 19th, 2012 at 4:39 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders confirmed the addition of cornerback Shawntae Spencer and also announced they had re-signed guard Cooper Carlsile.
Carlisle has been one of Oakland’s most durable players over the last five seasons and last year did not miss a single snap. He was cut last week when the Raiders were dealing with salary cap issues, but told his agent, Frank Murtha, they wanted to bring him back.
In the meantime, the Raiders signed Mike Brisiel of the Houston Texans _ also a right guard.
Carlisle has been exclusively a right guard in his NFL career. If Carlisle or Brisiel are being considered for a switch to left guard, it’s conceivable Stefen Wisniewski could move to center. If not, Oakland has depth at a position that previously had none, other than third-year lineman Bruce Campbell.

Nice!

Tebor rules in Denver, not in Oakland.
March 19th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
So far so good with all personnel decisions this off season…
March 19th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
SO lets scratch the idea of Tebow being a Raider and see what it smells like….
March 19th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Good to see Carlisle back. One of those nameless, faceless guys who just does his job. I’m half surprised he didn’t sign with Raiders East. I.E. New England.

As a fullback, sure, give him a try out.
March 19th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Is Elway interested in working with Allen on any deals?
March 19th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
Depth & depth, welcome back Cooper!
March 19th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
If Tebow was a Raider…
He would definitely have to play 2 positions…..Red Zone QB and H Back…..take a major salary cut…..
Pro’s-
He and Terrelle prior have similar skill sets moving into the future…a future where the NFL is now copying the college systems Offensively….
He has the ability to run
He has the ability to fit into Coach Knapps system
He has been proven to be a great teammate
He and Arron Curry could tweet together, maybe even start a Bible study
He sells tickets
Con’s
He is hated by 95% of the league and its employees

***BREAKING NEWS***
>>>Raiders waived FB James McCluskey.
McCluskey spent all of the 2011 season on injured reserve after being signed as an undrafted rookie out of Boston College. His NFL prospects are bleak.
Who?
March 19th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
Sign Tebow to a ST contract and unleash his crazy self on the AFC West and twice a year on the Donkos…
He has continually said “I will do what my coach wants me to do”.
Check those hands for a TE conversion…
March 19th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
Soon as manning goes down with an injury Denver is scruued for years with no back up
March 19th, 2012 at 4:49 pm
OL: Veld. Bris. Wis. Carl. Bark.?
March 19th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
I like that Reggie brought Coops back. How many penalties did he have last year anyway? 2-3 maybe?
Good move if at least for depth.
March 19th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
Glad to see Cooper back.

Elway just paid a ton of money to have Manning mentor Tebow. It’s that simple. He knows Manning would need oxygen and a uniform made out of vaetrex to play in that high altitude cold weather. Elways not stupid. Manning will be Tebows mentor. Its that simple.
==================================
Actually it is not that simple. Manning has never been a mentor to anyone. And if you think I am kidding, just ask Jim Sorgi, John Navarre, Cory Sauter or Curtis Painter.

March 19th, 2012 at 4:54 pm
People forget…and don’t seem to realize that Tim Tebow, despite the controversy…lead his team to a playoff win in his first season as a starter….and has now been replaced by a future Hall of Fame Quarterback….
His story is not over….

I know I know, just being sarcastic about what I think is a stupid move by all parties. He basically said, I’ll come to Denver on my terms and Elway said, OK. High altitude and cold weather with a questionable injury? Stupid move.

Good, Carlisle was not nearly as horrid as some fans liked to bellyache…
March 19th, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Hope these guys Reggie/Dennis/jason/Gregg/etal are up for the challenge of getting more out of less. I feel good about the D’s chances of not sucking as I blame Al for much of what has been wrong with the D in the last 10 yrs….

The NFL is far from copying the “the college systems Offensively….”
The NFL is utilizing players that, for the most part, do not fit the mold of what an NFL player should be. Witness the “Wildcat” that is fairly non-existent anymore. It was merely a fad and those type of players are finding their way into the NFL less and less.
Learn football before making such ridiculous comments.
March 19th, 2012 at 4:59 pm
a good move I agree
March 19th, 2012 at 5:00 pm
Tebow as a punt returner? How ’bout TE? Amy could dig the ticket sales. If Tebow became a Raidah, say as a punt returner, TE, half or full back, or even a #2 or 3 backup, how would we feel about it if he were in silver and black?
Take your time and seriously ponder the idea. It could happen. Reggie aint no dummy, like Elway is.

tebow has very little commercial value as a raider. the networks, the league, and his agents would have Oakland as his last destination.
March 19th, 2012 at 5:01 pm
I think I am not alone when looking at Tebow thinking “this guy could be the best “something” in the NFL, considering his natural ability and overall ethic” …
(excluding QB IMO)
March 19th, 2012 at 5:01 pm
Frankly, I have to put my hat in the “Glad Manning is in the AFC West” ring. It raises the bar. I like our chances.
March 19th, 2012 at 5:02 pm
Great press coverage for the Raidahs if Tebow signs here. Hell yeah!
March 19th, 2012 at 5:03 pm

March 19th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
The NFL has been consistently copying the Offensive concepts inside of college football for the last 10 years….the Wildcat is a version of the single wing…a concept which originated in too many places to possibly trace….
The Wildcat is a concept that hasn’t gone anywhere….in fact…just because the Dolphins don’t use it anymore doesn’t mean teams don’t have it in the playbook…
It is a play concept…like many…
I have a question @29, what “should an NFL player be” in your expert opinion?
March 19th, 2012 at 5:09 pm

What is being lost in all of this is what excellent signings Spencer and Carlisle are. The lst thing that McKenzie and DA wanted to do was improve the secondary. Huff, Branch, Spencer and Bartells kills Huff, Branch, routt and Chris Johnson. Kills it.
I did watch the end of the Detroit game. After Johnson makes the 50 yard play with McClain on him, Routt gives up ANOTHER PI which was like his 5th of the game, and then the winning score. Routt sucked ass.

There’s a chance that Tebow might not even be in the league next year as a QB.
March 19th, 2012 at 5:16 pm
Dennis Allen has a Tebow connection. Tebow has a soft spot for Allen because Allens D bailed him and hailed him. Tebow appreciates the props. Allen could raise his ebrows and have the T-Man here in no time. Stranger things on stranger tides have happened.

Why are we talking about Tebow? This is a new regime not looking for marketability, but rather substance. If Broncos were smart, they’d keep him and try to develop him and use him to make teams prepare for special packages.
I believe in building the OL but I don’t think Barksdale is a RT in this league, not quick enough.

The thing is the Whiners had NO CHANCE at Peyton. Peyton just played them and they got done in by their own greed. I am positive that Peyton and Eli have been playing “super bowl” against each other in their backyard in New Orleans since the day they both learned to walk. That day has gotten closer and closer to actually being a reality. But for it to REALLY happen, Peyton would have to remain in the AFC. Shoot, how could the Whiners not figure that out?

I don’t claim to know what the Manning brothers think now or thought in the past, but that is certainly possible. Tom Condon represents both Peyton and Alex Smith, so it’s not beyond reason to think that way.
If that IS true, then could it be said that Smith (and Condon) are now playing the Dolphins for more money from SF?

Students held rallies on the campus of Florida A&M University in Tallahassee and outside the Seminole County Criminal Justice Center, where prosecutors are reviewing the case to determine if charges should be filed. The students demanded the arrest of 28-year-old George Zimmerman, who authorities say shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last month during a confrontation in a gated community in Sanford.
Zimmerman spotted Martin as he was patrolling his neighborhood on a rainy evening last month and called 911 to report a suspicious person. Against the advice of the 911 dispatcher, Zimmerman then followed Martin, who was walking home from a convenience store with a bag of Skittles in his pocket.
Zimmerman’s father has said his son is Hispanic and is not racist. Zimmerman has claimed self-defense.
“I don’t think a man who exited his vehicle after the 911 dispatcher told him to stay inside the car can claim self-defense,” Carl McPhail, a 28-year-old Barry University law school student, said at the Sanford rally.
The 70 protesters at the Sanford rally chanted “What if it was your son?” and held posters saying, “This is not a race issue.” Many carried Skittles.
Martin’s parents and other advocates have said the shooter would have been arrested had he been black.

Yes, he would never make it to camp. Raider Nation would make him disappear the moment he stepped off the plane.
Don’t ever mention that guys name in association to the Raiders ever again.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported the Denver Broncos have already received calls from teams about quarterback Tim Tebow.
Schefter said it is a sign the Broncos should be able to move him while ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported that Tebow will likely be released if the Broncos can’t find a trade partner.
Jacksonville, Miami and New England are among the teams interested in Tebow. He will likely be brought in as a backup anywhere he goes. Denver could get a mid-round pick in return, but don’t think the Broncos will sweat the compensation much. I think they just want to move on.
March 19th, 2012 at 5:45 pm
So, he doen’t have the ability to make it into our camp but he does have the ability to send our team into a tailspin in 2011 and send his own team to a playpoff win?
Am I missing something?

I hope with the goings on in Denver this doesn’t preclude the possibility of the Raiders signing Porter. The receitly signed CB’ were both signed to one year contracts due to injury plagued 2011 campaigns. . .not a glowing statement for longevity. . .so if the Donks are able to sign Dallas Smith & perhaps trade for Wallace the Raiders recent signings won’t be nearly enough. . .

The terms mulatto, quadroon, and octoroon originated with the racial policies of European colonizers in the Americas, especially the Spanish. Because civil rights and responsibilities were based directly on the degree of European blood that a person had, such classifications were highly elaborated, and minor distinctions in ancestry were carefully recorded. While these terms have highly precise definitions, in actual practice they were often used based on impressions of skin color rather than definite knowledge of ancestry.

If Oakland waits a little….we may be able to steal a good football player away from a team who simply wants to move on from their own embarrassment….and essentially…not wanting to face a truth….that truth being that TEBOW outperformed what everyone felt was possible…more importantly, the men who were paying him….

In fact, twocents, the closest the media has ever been to being controlled by the government was Newscorp (FoxNews) during the Bush administration. Newscorp had a ton of connections with the Bush administration, and throughout Bush’s presidency FoxNews served as a propaganda wing for his agenda. There were more connections between that network and that administration than you’ll find with any network and any administration in America’s history. So go back to your Atlas Shrugged novel.

In May of 1918, Hampton Smith, a 31 year old White plantation owner in Brooks
County, Georgia, was shot and killed by one of his Black workers named Sydney Johnson. Hampton Smith was known for abusing and beating his workers to the point few people in the area would work for him. To solve this labor shortage, Smith turned to the debt peonage system of the day and found a ready labor pool. He used that system by bailing people out of jail, people typically arrested for petty offenses, who would then work off their debt to him on his plantation. Nineteen year old Sydney Johnson, arrested for “rolling dice” and fined thirty dollars, was one such person.
After a few days of work on Smith’s plantation, and shortly after being beaten by Smith for not working while he was sick, Sidney Johnson shot and killed Hampton Smith. What ensued after the shooting was a mob driven manhunt for Johnson and others thought to be involved in his decision to kill Hampton Smith. That manhunt lasted for more than a week and resulted in the deaths of at least 13 people, with some historical accounts suggesting a higher number of persons killed. One of the people killed was a woman named Mary Turner.
Twenty year-old Mary Turner, 8 months pregnant at the time and whose husband had been killed in this “lynching rampage” on Sunday, May 19th, made the mistake of publicly objecting to her husband’s murder. She also had the audacity to threaten to swear out warrants for those responsible. Those “unwise remarks,” as the area papers put it, enraged locals. Consequently, Mary Turner fled for her life only to be caught and taken to a place called Folsom’s Bridge on the Brooks and Lowndes Counties’ shared border. To punish her, at Folsom’s Bridge the mob tied Mary Turner by her ankles, hung her upside down from a tree, poured gasoline on her and burned off her clothes. One member of the mob then cut her stomach open and her unborn child dropped to the ground where it was reportedly stomped on and crushed. Her body was then riddled with gunfire from the mob. Later that night she and her baby were buried ten feet away from where they were murdered. The makeshift grave was marked with only a “whiskey bottle” with a “cigar” stuffed in its neck.
Three days after the murder of Mary Turner and her baby, three more bodies were found in the area and Sydney Johnson was killed in a shoot out with police on South Troup Street in Valdosta, Georgia. Once killed, the crowd of more than 700 people cut off his genitals and threw them into the street. A rope was then tied to his neck and he was drug to Campground Church in Morven, Georgia, 16 miles away. There, what remained of his body was burned. During and shortly after this chain of events, it is reported that more than 500 people fled Lowndes and Brooks Counties in fear for their lives.
Some may ask, why bring up “the past” and these atrocities now? “It happened so long ago.” We think we should bring them up and face them for many reasons. We should bring them up to acknowledge the lives lost, along with the reality that no justice has ever occurred for the victims, families and many others affected by these events. We should bring them up because few in the region speak publicly about these events yet wonder why race relations in the area are often so strained. We should bring them up because to date these events remain one of the most gruesome cases of racism and racial terrorism in this nation’s history, yet they are omitted from the history we teach our children. We should bring them up because Mary Turner’s murder remains one of the most horrific crimes committed against a human being in this nation’s history. We should bring them up because so far not one historical marker or grave stone is in place to acknowledge these events and the lives lost during that week of terror in May of 1918. And last but not least, we should bring these events up so we can face our collective past in order to see how it might affect our collective present and future. Please help us do that

Bad people do bad things. All we can do is denounce and punish it and educate people so they maybe will not judge people by things such as skin color. However, I find it a big turn off when people deny that one “race” is racist while they assert another is not. That in and of itself is a form of racism and does not compute with the reality I lived through.

Well, I do sorta know one thing. 3rd hand information, but my brother (big Raider fan) was talking to a guy at his restaurant who had sat next to Jon Gruden on a plane shortly after they grabbed Pryor. Gruden spent some time with the team while visiting Ohio (his home state and a school he still roots for). His assessment of Pryor: “Dumb as f–k!”
I don’t care how athletic you are. You cannot succeed in the NFL at QB if you don’t have a very quick mind to read the defenses, know all the routes and options, and be able to rifle through them in split second decisions. In college, a running QB only has to lock onto his best WR, watch him for a few seconds to see if he gets open, and if not start running. When you see highlights of them making the throws that make you think that they can do more than run, it’s deceiving because they are very simple plays where they only need to make a good throw and not a good read first.
March 19th, 2012 at 6:43 pm
Yeah, I’m sure Gruden told a stranger that an active NFL QB is stupid, when that stranger could have been recording him all along. Gossip fail.

And, wait a minute, you said Watts riots in the ’90s? The Watts riots were in the ’60s, AutumnWind. You must be referring to the Rodney King riots. What white person was shot by blacks during the Rodney King riots? Remember, Reginald Denny wasn’t shot, and he lived.
************************
I miss spoke yes they were in S. Central LA. More people were hurt than R. Denny. in those riots. I believe 43 were killed and another 10 shot dead by the National Guard. I believe the majority killed were Hispanic. I think R. Denny has the most coverage because we have video of it. You realize that Asian owned stores were targeted in those riots – right?
If you really think there is no hatred in the hearts of certain people that happen to have black skin towards people with white skin you are simply willfully ignorant. You can not be convinced. I am not going to sit here and waist my time talking to a brick wall. I have experienced that hatred in first person. I know better.

not one of you speculative and unknowing mofos has any concrete idea of anything whatsoever regarding Terrelle.
========
My speculations are based on the following:
1. Pryor is similar in style and played at the same time as Tebow
2. Tebow is a better player as evidenced by heisman trophies and national championships
3. Tebow sucks
4. Early reports of Pryor are not all that encouraging
5. Therefore, I am highly skeptical of his chances for success
Still rooting him on though – he’s a Raider, and, like you say, it’s anyone’s guess how he actually plays. May be great

Now you are changing the subject – institutional racism? Have you ever heard of quotas? Like I said to MR or Sullivan 44 of whoever that person is. I know for a fact that I can not convince you that there is some racism in the Black Community towards white people. I know it to be true. Not all or even a majority but I have experienced that racism living in E. Oakland being in a school with 99% non whites as a child.

The fact of the matter is when you put an great ATHLETE (we have to operationally define out term here) at Quarterback it creates huge problems for a defense….no matter who he is…no matter how smart he is….no matter how well he throws the ball…
When the league creates a MAN through its evolution that can read like Brees, throw like Manning, run like Newton, and lead like Montana watch out…..that creation is out there somewhere…
March 19th, 2012 at 6:56 pm
What is the BFD about Manning going to Denver? Who gives a rats ass. I’m convinced Tebow can bury us and then dig us up and piss on us. But Manning? Sh1t. Thers two division wins right there, with the 2nd team. BFD.
Some people say Reggie forced that move when he hired Dennis Allen because of Allens proximity to Tebows offense. I don’t buy that horseshiit for one minute. Elway probably had a hard on for PM and now he got his jerk.

NEWBERRY, S.C., June 5 (UPI) — A white man has been charged with killing a black man and then dragging his body nearly 10 miles behind a truck in Newberry County, S.C., authorities said.
Gregory Collins, was arrested and charged with murder in the death of Anthony Hill, 30, who worked with Collins at the Louis Rich turkey processing plant in Newberry, county Sheriff Lee Foster said.
Hill’s nearly nude body was found Wednesday with a single gunshot to the head and a rope around his neck and upper torso. Authorities followed a trail of blood and human tissue from the body to a trailer park where Collins lived nearly 10 miles away, Foster said Friday.
Officers surrounded Collins’s trailer for four hours and then used tear gas before he surrendered, The (South Carolina) State reported.
Hill and Collins reportedly were seen drinking together Tuesday, said Foster, noting Hill’s death and dragging are being investigated as a possible hate crime.
“We have no motive whatsoever as to why these two gentlemen would have been together, then one shoots the other in the head and drags him down the road,” Foster said. “It’s a horrific act of violence.”

Black Man Fatally Dragged In a Possible Racial Killing
By CAROL MARIE CROPPER
A black man was dragged to his death on Sunday from the back of a pickup truck in a rural section of Texas known for racist and Klan activity, and today three white men were charged with the murder.
The broken body of James Byrd Jr., 49, was discovered on Sunday morning by residents of an area just outside the East Texas town of Jasper, population 8,000. As he walked home from his parents’ house on Saturday night, Mr. Byrd was apparently picked up by the men sometime after midnight and taken to woods, where he was beaten, then chained to the truck and dragged for two miles.
Guy James Gray, the Jasper County District Attorney, called the killing ”probably the most brutal I’ve ever seen” in 20 years as a prosecutor. Mr. Byrd’s torso was found at the edge of a paved road, his head and an arm in a ditch about a mile away, according to an affidavit.
The police charged Shawn A. Berry, 23, Lawrence R. Brewer, 31, and John W. King, 23, with murder. The District Attorney said Mr. Brewer and Mr. King had racist tattoos and were Ku Klux Klan supporters, leading investigators to believe the killing was racially motivated.
The three were apparently roommates in a Jasper apartment.
R. C. Horn, Mayor of Jasper, said the victim came from a ”beautiful family.” Mr. Byrd’s sisters said he had been on disability and did not have a car but often accepted rides from acquaintances or walked around Jasper, where the number of blacks almost equals that of whites.
Mayor Horn said there had been no unusual racial problems in the town, built on the timber industry. ”Jasper is a city that has a strong bind together, both black and white,” said Mr. Horn, who is black.
But Gary Bledsoe, president of the state chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said the eastern part of Texas, which includes Jasper, has been considered a problem area and a hotbed of Klan activity for years. He pointed to problems in 1993 integrating a housing project in nearby Vidor, for decades an all-white town, where an avowed white supremacist threatened the first black residents, and teen-agers dressed in sheets confronted black newcomers.
Mr. Bledsoe called for adding kidnapping charges, making the killing a capital crime. He said that he planned to go to Jasper to help the authorities with the investigation and that the N.A.A.C.P. wanted to help organize a community response, like a march or rally.
Mayor Horn said local church leaders were planning a prayer meeting at the courthouse square for Monday night.
According to the police affidavit, items left in the woods and along the dirt logging road where Mr. Byrd was first dragged led officials to the three men charged. One item was a cigarette lighter inscribed with a Klan symbol that the police said they believed belonged to one of the men.
Mr. Berry told the police he had been riding around with the other two men when he saw Mr. Byrd walking and offered him a ride, according to the affidavit. Mr. Byrd and Mr. Berry might have known each other because they had the same parole officer, The Associated Press reported. Mr. Byrd served six years in prison for theft and violating parole. All three suspects have criminal records for offenses including burglary and drug possession and served jail time together.
After Mr. Byrd was picked up, Mr. King became upset and began cursing, Mr. Berry is quoted as saying in the affidavit. The men stopped at a convenience store and then Mr. King drove to the dirt road, saying he was about to scare Mr. Byrd. The other two began to beat the victim, Mr. Berry told the police.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation may charge the three with violating the victim’s civil rights, said Al Tribble, an F.B.I. special agent in Houston. The national N.A.A.C.P. is also watching the case, said Jean Hitchcock, acting chief operating officer for the organization, adding, ”We call upon all Americans to stand up and be counted and to condemn this for the heinous crime that it is.”

To the racists:
Yes, white people have been beaten, mugged, raped, killed for being white. Happens all the time in urban situations, in black neighborhoods. You understand, though, that pc dictates that it not be labeled a “hate crime” just a crime.
It’s easy to find non-black victims of blacks in your very own city of Oakland, but hey, it’s never in the news. Blacks mug someone, kill someone is not news. That tells you a lot.
March 19th, 2012 at 7:32 pm
Did AutumnWind ever give an example of a white person being shot for being white? Or did he continue to bring up incidents that were not in fact a white person being shot?
March 19th, 2012 at 7:33 pm
LuvMarvHub, we’ll go onto you, then. Name an instance where a white person was shot for being white.
March 19th, 2012 at 7:33 pm
BTW, happens in non-black neighborhoods too in which blacks mug, rape, kill people of another race. You don’t want to get into crime stats, boys, neither in this country or in any others either, even in South Africa.
March 19th, 2012 at 7:34 pm
Broncos signed Woodyard. It’ll be interesting to see what they gave him. IMO, they already way overpaid Joe Mays ($3 mil/yr).
March 19th, 2012 at 7:34 pm
Even Reginald Denny wasn’t shot. Those were gang members that beat him down. They were all probably packing. They could have just offed him. They didn’t shot him. And, he lived, for score.

No, buddy Sully, you look up the stats. Look for black on black crime, black on white, black on Asian, black on Hispanic, black male on females of every race, etc. Do it. Lots of books, lots of government data for you to peruse.
It’s a fact. Black folk aren’t trying to leave black neighborhoods for nothing. Dangerous.
BTW, population genetic data from genomic sequencing coming fast down the road from the project in Beijing. Will re-write all the anthro books. Go to Steve Hsu’s blog, several others for posts on updates about that project and many more GWAS studies. Will be identifying alleles that make some groups more violent than others.
Now, I suggest you study crime stats, demographic info, pop. genetics, anthro, evolutionary medicine and the like on your own time and let this blog continue to talk Raiders. Playing victim is so unbecoming of a Raider.

KK, you don’t even say when these events occured. Last week? 20 yrs ago?
It matters.
Things HAVE improved in this country and where lynchings and other equally horrific injustices have and still do occur they are much less frequent than they used to be.
Unfortunately, these crimes aren’t likely to ever go away but to cliam some special significance in todays day and age is a little myopic.
The fact is race is an issue our Corporate Gov would really like to see come back.

We need to add at least 1 vet LB though. Then hopefully draft a couple of 4-3/3-4 hybrid DE’s/OLB’s in the draft.

Seymour, notice the instances you can name are high profile events? Blacks get killed for being black all the time and most of the time it doesn’t even make national news. If Trayvon is killed a year from now, this doesn’t even make national news. It only did because he’s a minor.

Sully,
You do the research, Lazy. Google DOJ.gov Look up “hate crimes.” Read some books!!!!!! It’s all there for you. Or you can look at individual states’ DOJs, and remember, of all crimes committed by blacks that were prosecuted as hate crimes because of race or sexual orientation (the two most common), many DAs don’t go after the hate crime label when the perp is black.
Sully, really, guy, how could you ever expect to be thought of as a rational person if you wish to argue that crimes committed by non-blacks against blacks are sometimes motivated by racial hatred whereas crimes committed by blacks against members of other races are never motivated by racial animus. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Niners going to give him 3 years 24 million?? haha…the Niners should be happy if they don’t end up paying Smith that much money.
Niners overspending on one year contract year wonders on Rogers, Brooks and Smith?? haha
Miami might be desperate and give Smith 4 years and that would be dumb.
Miami signed Garrard and I think Miami should just look to draft Ryan Tannehill.

Hill is 29, so he is running out of time. If he wants a big payday, then he has to behave and earn it. Teams are not willing to give all that money to a 30+ yo LB with problems.
I would also draft an OLB for 2 reasons: We need depth, and Hill & Curry will both have 1 year contracts.

Hot Fuzz and Balls of Fury are two funny movies. So is the drama in here. But what Reggie is doing is some serious schlitz. Raiders goin to be a force to be reckoned with. And Elway pulled a boner when he mortgaged the broncos future with Manning. He rolled some big dice with some big balls.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:58 pm
Wimbley will be used like C Clemons & C Avril, he will be a nickel rusher that can play more snaps than Clemons due to his size and strength.
Wimbley is similar to Cliff Avril.
March 19th, 2012 at 8:59 pm
Good for Wimbley to the Titans. Now he can have 2 good games per season for them. He would have been paid 22.5 mil here had we retained him for another year. Another ridiculous AD contract.

March 19th, 2012 at 9:17 pm
Can someone just please tell me if Tebow is going to be a Raider? He probably would make a great punt returner and I’m sick of seeing Denarius Moore back there because Moore is way to valuble as a WR. Moore is a great WR and we cannot take a chance on him getting injured. Tebow could fill TE duties and who knows, maybe even a linebacker. The dude is an athlete, hard worker and a good teammate.
March 19th, 2012 at 9:23 pm
My FA list:
-CB: T Porter
-OLB: Hill or McIntoch
-DT: Bunkley (we needs guys that are able to stop the run, he lent cost us a lot, and he is familiar with Coach Allen).
-OT: A Collins or D Bell
I think we can sign all these guys for about $10 million total.

Didn’t the second part of that trade that sent stack jack to san Antonio include a protected 1st round pick in the draft so even if the warriors don’t end up in the bottom 7 they will still have a first round pick. If they do tank they will have 2 first round picks. (If I understand it right- I know nothing of NBA drafts)
Does anyone out there know about this?
I know its off topic but not as far of as some in here tonight.

March 19th, 2012 at 9:39 pm
Aaron Maybin is 24, but he is not an every down player. He can be a good nickel pass rusher like C Clemons (and even provide you with double digit sacks), and that’s what we need now.
LDE: Bryant/ Maybin (Nickel pass rusher)
DT: Seymour/ Houston
DT: TK/ Houston (and I think we should add Bunkley, and make it a 4 man rotation)
RDE: Matt S, Brodine

MLB: McClain

CB: Bartell/ Spencer
CB: T Porter, DVD/ Chekwa

Fans at the Arena tonight showed no class booing the owner like that during Mullies night.
The trade getting rid of Ellis was bad, but fans shouldn’t have been classless when Lacob was speaking.

If we follow the GB model, then expect that along with all the no names and UDFA’S who can play, we will still have to have a few big contract impact players.
GB had perennial star in Favre, and then of course Reggie White when they won the SB in 96.
GB will happily pay for big names like Clay Mathews and Woodson on defense and Rodgers and Jennings on offense.
The rest? Just real good players who don’t make alot of money.
GB looks at their RB’s as dime a dozen with guys like James Starks coming out of nowhere and playing better than guys making triple what he does.
If Reggie had alot to do with bringing in guys like Jermichael Finley, Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings and James Jones…then we are in for some happy times.

Feeling good about Reggie and our Raiders. Getting o-line and defensive secondary in place! Maybe one top CB and a couple of L-backers and we’ re gonna be just about right! The run stopping and penalty problem will largely be solved w/ better coaching and a new system that encourages accountability and discipline. We’re almost set! Add a back up QB an RB an we’ll really be set!

Welcome to the AFC West. It’s one tough mother focker for QB’s…even Hall Of Fame QB’s. Ask Dan Fouts. How many rings did Fouts get while in the AFC West? That’s right.
I’ve seen, with me own two eyes, most of who could be considered top-15 QB’s in this here NFL in my day, and some other legends like Joe Willy himself. The Raiders never just rolled-over for any of them, and they sure won’t for the great Peyton Manning. Glad he’s in the division…it’s going to be a great welcome party in Oakland when he gets here!

Warriors management knew they wanted to tank to keep that 1st round pick. They knew they would be undermanned by trading their best player/scorer in Ellis and best interior defender in Udoh for a banged up and out of action Bogut?
Management wanted to tank the season so they can try and keep their 1st Round pick. That pick is important.
That was the reason for that ridiculous trade.
March 19th, 2012 at 11:04 pm
Have a feeling that we will have a big signing in the morning! Like maybe Porter for another CB!!!

Get your money Wimbley and pretend like you give a crap about playing good hard football every week.
He just got bought out for 6.5 million from Raiders and is making another 6-7 million a year for 5 years from Titans??
hahaha…sucker Titans!
Same thing with Niners and overpaying for one year mediocre wonders in Brooks, Rogers and soon Smith maybe.

Hey Dknight-
Part 2 of the Warriors trade- stack jack to San Antonio netted a “protected” 1st round pick, did it not?
I love Monta and Ekpe, but the trade was good!!! You’ll see!!

Don’t know…but the one that is not protected is their own pick, not the Spurs pick right?
W’s need to fall within the top 7 worst records to keep their own pick.

No worries Hayes!! An no offense taken. G-.nite to ya and Raider On!

Fans at the Arena tonight showed no class booing the owner like that during Mullies night.
The trade getting rid of Ellis was bad, but fans shouldn’t have been classless when Lacob was speaking.
Then again, perhaps Lacob shouldn’t have took the mic in the first place and put himself in that position. Nellie or Papa should have just took the mic.

MR, troll — You bore me. Why do insist on swinging away in futility to get me in a “debate” with you? You’re not worth wasting many of my pleasantly Don Ramon-soaked brain cells on.
Tebow was a once-in-a-lifetime fluke, time and circumstance…and it was all for naught. All for nothing, in terms of getting Denver nearer a Super Bowl. Actually, I’m wrong there…because of Tebow, they’re getting Manning now — and he can do what Tebow never will.
This year will prove that, no matter where he lands, Tebow was a flash-in-the-pan in 2011. Any other superstar QB in the AFC West do anything of note lately?? That golden boy down in San Diego? Yeah, he tore it up last year.
Take your contrarian point of view (of everything), MR, and stick it. You may not have a decent point, but at least don’t waste our time with nonsensical talk like Tebow’s a real QB. He’s nothing more than a footnote in AFCW history…one that will fade rapidly as soon as he’s out of the League.
March 19th, 2012 at 11:20 pm
Dknight. Not sure, don’t know much about NBA bizness but as I understand we got their 1st and we’ll keep it no matter what.
But the thing I don’t understand is that if the W’s end up tanking it does that mean we will have 2 1st round picks??????
Either way as long as Bogut can remain healthy I think ultimately Warriors fans are gonna be very happy about the trade. As much as I love Monta and Ekpe, this was the right move!
(Bogut’s health, crossing fingers,salt shaker over shoulder, etc.)
G-nite all and Raider On!!!!!
Gotta go to sleep.
March 19th, 2012 at 11:22 pm

Anyone who says the AFC West is a tough division for quarterbacks after a season where Tim Tebow lights the division up has a lot of nerve calling anyone dense. Face it, Hayes. That was one dumb, homerish comment. Your Don Ramon (probably Boones) must have been kicking in and like anyone who can’t handle their alcohol, you got carried away and said something that any sane group of adults would have laughed you out of the room for.
March 19th, 2012 at 11:33 pm
We need a legitimate Pass Rusher that will need to be double teamed every snap n still get double digit sacks

Name anything of note that any AFCW QB has done in more than a decade, troll…squeezing-out a barely .500 won/loss record doesn’t cut it.
The AFCW is historically a tough place to play QB, it still is, and it will be for Peyton. What’s so tough for you to understand about that?
Chase that stinky little tail of yours, MR. Round n’ round you go.

McFadden pay attention. He implied the AFC West is tough, in comparison to other divisions. One of the least talented QBs in the league lit up the AFC West last year. It’s time for him to put aside the Don Ramon and put on some coffee. Defend him all you want.

Tebow torched the division?? Pffft. He took it, his own team, and the Country for a crazy, lucky, fortune-filled journey. Tebow = Fluke. The biggest fluke in a generation.
Like I said…name a AFCW QB who has done ANYTHING of significance (i.e., SB or AFC win) in…forever??
This generation, the closest to a “great” QB in the division (before CP#) has been Rivers. And we’ve seen his greatness.
Much like Peyton now…we’ve seen one of the top-3 QB’s of all time come into the division before (Montana w/ KC)…and how many Championships did he leave with? Same amount Peyton will leave with.
In a division that is tough on even Hall Of Fame QB’s…even if they do beat the Raiders. Ooooh. Some day (soon, I hope), beating the Raiders will mean they beat one of the beat Teams in the NFL. Clearly, we were not that last year.

20th is a pretty good ranking when your QB is going 3-and-out for the first three quarters before finally showing up in the last few minutes to put up 10 or 13 points.

Hey Spuds! Why not pick up Tebow and bring him here! Cut Palmer and have a runner at QB. Imagine Tebow getting in the groove here. The potential turn around abounds here maybe not a loss cause season. Offer a low bid to Elway and man watch the sparks fly!

Hopefully this one will add perspective. . .
CNN was reporting on the immediate success of Apple’s just released IPad (not IPad III or IPad the next generation. Simply “IPad”). . .
They reported more than one million have been sold already & Apple’s new management team was rewarding their investors with a stock dividend.
They went on to say the relative low cost of the devises made this possible. then they went on to say this was possbible because they are manufactured in China.
This wasn’t possible just because of the low wages of the Chinese workers but because of stringent, almost slave-like labor methods; Chinese labor napping just mere feet from their work areas, penalized for leaving the manufacturing structure, etc.
The Apple spokesperson said the reason these devises were made overseas was because of trade treaties like NAFTA engineered by the government in the 90’s.
Talk about dinengenious crap! We’ve been hearing about corporate downsizing since the 80’s. . .Wasn’t it the corporate lobby that designed the trade treaties in the first place?
So, let me summarize; the corporate media (Yes, Sully 44, one of the only times I have agreed with you when you laid out the ownership structure of media corporations, first in your post #127 & when you clarified in post #150. Remember, 80% of all corporatre media are owned by five corporations. Thus the so-called “liberal media” is a myth created by corporate media. The only entity of “liberal media” I can think of is Democracynow. There are others but none of them are televised like Democracynow. And they exist through the benevolence of private donors & contributions by their ardent listeners/viewers)reported that a major corporation took advantage of trade agreements engineered by corporate lobbyists reporting directly to corporations who pr’ed that the government (forked tongue speak for corporations) out of their benevolence arranged for said treaties to allow corporations to ship manufacturing jobs from the US to, say, China to take advantage of pennies on the dollar labor & the lack of civil labor practices to sell their product to, say, the US. And, BTW, Apple went on to say this had been done so they could sell their product in markets like, say, China. Where the citizenship makes far less than their American counterparts. So does this mean Apple products sell for a far less profit margin in china than the US? Wow. Gonna take ALOT of Kool-Aid to wash that one down.
So, the government controlls the media? And the government engineers trade agreements? Surely this opens the door for oceanside property in Minnesota to be sold on the open market. . .LOL

If we got Tebow for a later pick, fine, but no way do you trade Palmer for Tebow.

Amazing.

Tebow suprisingly leads the Denver jackasses to win the division when we thought it belonged to us.

Adam Caplan of thesidelineview.com reports free agent OLB Kamerion Wimbley and the Titans are “close” to a five-year deal.
Negotiations will pick up again Tuesday morning. The highest-impact free agent left on the market, Wimbley would make for a nice consolation prize after the Titans lost out on Mario Williams while preoccupied with Peyton Manning. A 28-year-old pass rusher with 16 sacks over the past two seasons, Wimbley would slot in at defensive end in the Titans’ 4-3 defense.
DE for a 4-3 defense?? Don’t they know he is a SAM in the 4-3?

Might make sense to just view Brisiel as Sateles replacement and leave everyone else where they were last year.

You know who looked pretty good at DE when plugged in last year? Desmond Bryant. I hope Allen moves Lamarr Houston into the DT rotation and makes Bryant left end to bookend Shaughnessy.

————————————————————
I’ll let YA come in and discuss the finer points of this with you, lol.
Wimbley played mostly as a DE after week 3 when ShoNasty went down. And when he did play LB after Curry was acquired he was all over the place. Sometimes in man press coverage with the TE, other times rushing the passer.
YA says that Curry is our SLB and can’t play WLB because he has no pass rushing ability.
March 20th, 2012 at 6:16 am
pretty smooth of Reggie to cut his starting RG and let him test the waters in FA for a week, then bring him back at the vet minimum
slashing prices like Wal-Mart!
wish we would have done the same with Tyvon Branch. If his agent wasn’t trying to lobby for a mega-deal, he’d be signed long term by now and the Raiders would have more cap room to sign free agents. franchise tag was a stupid idea
RRS = right again

Not wholly convinced that’s the case. Yes he had zero sacks last year, but did Bresnahan ever send him? I’d like to see what he could do as a pass rusher given the opportunity.
Ultimately, I’ll trust DA on his placement, wherever it is.

March 20th, 2012 at 6:33 am
So looks like a ‘bromance’ with elway is the reason peyton choose the broncos. Head in sf and heart in denver? Dumb. I thought manning was smarter than that. Could have been part of one the best teams ever instead he will be average with denver. Yeah compare the colts teams of the past to the current broncos team. Not to much to get exicted about.
March 20th, 2012 at 6:35 am
Curry will have to compete for the starting gig, and I don’t think he will hold it for 16 games.
He can’t cover, can’t roam in a zone, can’t blitz, makes a ton of mental mistakes.

Mort was talking about Manning being “institutionalized” this morning on Mike&Mike. That word was used over and over when discussing why Manning chose Denver over SF.
I don’t know what “institutionalized” means? Seems like a political word that Mort can use to infer that Harbaugh’s tight grip wasn’t the environment that Manning wanted to play for. Made John Fox look like a puppet that will allow Manning to be the on-field OC that he’s used to being.
I’m thinking that Manning made the right choice in going to the weaker team. Broncos won’t ever be contenders. That’s a weak team to the core. It’s good for the niners that he’s not coming to them.

John Elway always hated Tim Tebow. It kind of looked like the movie “Major League” when the owner actively rooted against her team to get them a new stadium deal. As the wins were piling up, you could see Elway’s constipated look on his face. “FcK me! Tebow did it again!”.
Getting Peyton Manning was the only way to get rid of Tebow without the lynch mob of Denver fans asking for his head. Every day that Tebow was the starting QB was a waking nightmare for Elway. This was like one of those messy, costly divorces that you gladly pay for.
March 20th, 2012 at 6:53 am
I know Porter was meeting with Rams and another team.
March 20th, 2012 at 6:53 am
Tebow WILL get traded, probably a 4th rounder on draft weekend, just like Soup, and will be at worst a backup QB next year.
I think the Browns would make sense, trade for Tebow, draft Trent Richardson, sell a bunch of tickets, and probably do better than the 4-5 wins a year they usually get.
March 20th, 2012 at 6:55 am
Curry willingly took a paycut, because I am sure his agent knew his FA marketprice was just a tad above nothing.

Titans signed DE Kamerion Wimbley to a five-year, $35 million contract.
The deal includes $13.5 million guaranteed. Wimbley was already guaranteed $6.5 million following his release from the Raiders. He’s an excellent consolation prize for a team that missed out on Mario Williams as it got bogged down in the Peyton Manning sweepstakes, and should greatly improve a pass rush that notched just 28 sacks in 2011. That was good for 31st in the NFL. Wimbley has essentially been a 3-4 outside linebacker for most of his career, but he will play right end in Tennessee’s 4-3 defense. He’s notched at least 6.5 sacks each of the past three seasons. The Titans have a lot of pass-rush potential, with Derrick Morgan a full year removed from ACL surgery on the left end and the explosive, high-motor Wimbley rushing off the weak side
————————————
I wonder if he could have had more $$ with us had he restuctured his contract.

You guys should have heard a buzzed HazeDaze last night say that Manning was in for it now because the AFC west is the toughest place in the league for QB’s. Hilarious. He really says this following a season where the marginally talented Tebow just owned the division. Never mind Rivers’ stats, too. I’m sure Manning is just shaking in his boots. Then he says Manning can ask Dan Fouts how tough the division is. Uh, yeah, Fouts played, what, 40 years ago? He did admit he was drinking tequila. Nothing says blog comedy like a homer drinking and commenting.
March 20th, 2012 at 7:44 am

Using strictly man coverage in an obvious zone coverage era and linebackers that are 90% inclined to play the pass, that couldn’t stop a girl scout from rushing 100 yards on them hasn’t worked out, either. Using puppet d coordinators that never questioned our out of touch GM, didn’t work out either. I think the “3 technique” was kind of far down the list.

It had very little to do with man coverage. Man coverage is great, if you have players that can do it. The Raiders didn’t, and outside of Asomugha, haven’t for a while now. The owner/GM refused to recognize this and adapt. Still demanded that his D-coordinator run mostly man coverage-based schemes with a single high safety. THAT was the problem.
March 20th, 2012 at 8:09 am
It seems Seymour, Kelly & McClain are all getting a shot at redemption in terms of stuffing the run …
perhaps Reggie & Dennis think it was a system/scheme or coaching issue?

I told you it would happen I should go back and find my old post.
I said that Wimbly would sign somewhere for 6 or 7 million a year and he did.
Why would he not play here for 6 or 7 million a year is ass-holish if you ask me.
What a turd we were paying him 11 a year and asked him to take a pay cut down to 7 or 8 and he would not do it.
In a way I am glad he is gone he was not earning his money!
March 20th, 2012 at 8:10 am
How would I know.. How could I identify a glaring weakness against the run the last few yrs… Gee idk.. But just because I prefer a big dt to take on double teams, instead of shooting the gap & exposing our weak azz lbs, doesnt mean I dont recongnize our other problems.. alot of the problems you brought up are already changing. I was just bringing up my big concern about the d-line.

YoungAmerican, nobody played man as much as the Raiders did. The point regarding those highlights is that the Raiders were the only team getting torched in man. The highlights of other teams show Manning throwing into windows of zone coverage. And sure, zone fails, too, but it has a much higher success rate than man, that’s why ever team in the league used it except for us. Watching those Manning highlights is a rude reminder as to just how out of touch our team’s management has been in recent years. It’s embarrassing.
March 20th, 2012 at 8:14 am
So, did anybody really think Wimbley was worth the money he was going to make as a Raider this year? his release had more to do with the cap than with his performance as a pass-rusher and pseudo linebacker…

Agreed that nobody played it as much as the Raiders did. Mostly I think it was a problem when you have 260lb linebackers covering WRs. Again – you have to adapt to the strengths of the players on the roster. Al never got that.
When you’re playing elite QBs, however, you have to be able to cover in man. Maybe not for the entire game, but a good QB will tear apart zones pretty quickly. Gotta press his receivers and disrupt the timing of the plays.
March 20th, 2012 at 8:18 am
582. Na a paid him too much.. But the titans will like him at the price they got.
March 20th, 2012 at 8:21 am
Gotta agree with the man2man analysis…gotta press the WRs, and have fresh and very talented D-lineman hurrying up the QB…if you rush three and drop a 320lb DT into coverage most QBs will find an open guy.
March 20th, 2012 at 8:21 am
A good QB, ANY QB, will tear man apart quicker than he will zone. That’s the point. Your red herring in this argument is that zone coverages fails Of course it does. But not as much as man coverage does, that’s the point. That’s why since the ’80s NOBODY uses primarily man coverage, except for one team with an out of touch GM.
March 20th, 2012 at 8:22 am
I really like the dye-cast mold of CB’s that Reggie Mac is going after, tall physical press cover guys. We will need more of these to defeat Manning on zone coverage. More in your face, physical guys at the line.

———————
Not really. For one example, KC beat GB last season mainly because they were able to keep their corners in man-to-man and put pressure on Rodgers.
Against zone coverage, a QB can throw to a spot. Against man coverage, the QB needs to go through his reads and find his best option. Press-man allows the defender to disrupt the QB’s timing by jamming his receivers at the line.
The truth is, defenses need to mix up their coverages. They need to use both. Using 100% man or 100% zone won’t get any defense very far.
Teams that use primarily man coverage? Saints and Jets do it pretty well. Bengals and Seahawks, too.

The NY Ginats run the same outdated Al Davis defense we used to run and they won a super bowl.

————————-
No team uses 100% man or zone, so the argument doesn’t hold water.
Again, it depends on the players you have on the roster, and what you’re able to do with your front seven.
Saying man coverage is bad because Al Davis used it is akin to bashing oxygen because Al Davis breathed it.
All teams use man coverage. To what extent they use it is dictated by the strengths of the rest of their defense, and the ability of their players to hold up in man coverage. For instance, if you have a few good press-man corners but your front seven can’t put pressure on the QB? Chances are you’re going to use more zone. It’s about adapting, and understanding your team. Not about sticking to one philosophy no matter what. That’s why Al’s defenses over the last 25 years have been poor.

He probably won’t. More of a zone corner – read and react type guy with good closing speed (not straight-line speed, which has very little relevance on a football field). Will contribute in nickel and dime packages. Could be a potential #2 corner in the NFL, but won’t shadow the #1 receiver around the field at this level. Very solid 3rd/4th-round prospect. He’s definitely going to help a team.

As with Routt and Boss, Wimbley’s marketprice ended up a little above half of what Al paid for them.
Ridiculous. In all reality, we couldn’t have weathered too many more years of such ridiculousness.
——————————————
You got that right. And, in fact the franchise hasn’t weathered it all that well. And folks think this team is a contender? I say McKenzie is on a 3-year plan.
March 20th, 2012 at 9:21 am
Personally, I like Garay. A little younger and a little more versatile than Franklin. Can play 0-tech unlike Bunkley.
I’d like to see him in 4-3 and 3-4 looks. He can be disruptive in the 4-3 unlike Franklin, but can be a true NT if the Raiders need him to be.
March 20th, 2012 at 9:21 am
Clever of the Warriors to have their puppets in the local media accuse the fans of “ruining Mullin’s night”. The owner ruined Mullin’s night, by daring to go near a microphone knowing the fans were upset about that trade. Just a poor PR decision.

I am glad they booed that owner, but it does stink that Mullie had to be some collateral damage on that one.
As a Warriors fan, we were actually excited to be 3 games out of the last playoff spot before the trade. For a Warrior fan, that is awesome.
And they even pulled that away from us, while trying to spin some propaganda that we will be better next year.
Horse-patoot. We won’t be.
=============
I may of been in the minority, but they shouldn’t have booed last night. (At least not on Mully day)
We weren’t going anywhere w/ a 6′ 3″ 2guard. (I loved the trade)
This is the owner’s 1st year in and at least the owner is willing to spend some $$$$$ to bring in some new faces, unlike previous cheap ass owners.
The Dubs will be in the playoffs next season!! (any bets?)
March 20th, 2012 at 9:23 am
Yup, the owner did not play his hand very well.

The Warriors owner underestimated the Oakland fanbase. This isn’t Utah or Arizona. Oakland is not a place where a high profile business owner is going to be worshiped blindly.

Not as upset that Monta was traded, just mad they threw in Udoh and we got someone back who isn’t even going to play this year.
We couldn’t have gotten another white stiff of a center, who was at least healthy? Is Chris Mim available?

At least the owner had balls to stay out there, and didn’t tuck in his tail and leave.

DMAC, the owner had the local press blame the fans afterward. That’s not much different than tucking your tail. Sure, he wasn’t going to run off the court. That’s not how people in his position do things. They smile in your face, then stab you in the back. He pretended to be all mature and cool with it, then had the local boys in the press vilify the fans. He’s doing his crying now, in so many ways.

Ohio — I give ReggieMcK 3-yrs, but I don’t give him a 3-yr plan. If we don’t get at least “close” to the Promised Land in 3-yrs (esp. if we go backwards in year 3)…it’ll be sayonara time.
I really, really, like what ReggieMcK’s doing, and I really like him personally…but I don’t give him any more leeway than any other non-owner in the League. He needs to win to keep that job.
Reggie and Mark are reloading…while rebuilding. Just Win, Baby. Soon.
March 20th, 2012 at 9:31 am
If we’re going to believe that the above receivers will all be gone between the 1st and 2nd round, then we’d have to believe the Johnson kid can play a little ball, right?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I’m sure the kid can play well, and he did well at the college level, but will that carry over to the NFL? I doubt it due to his lack of size and speed.
March 20th, 2012 at 9:31 am
Kam was released on Friday afternoon and signed on Tuesday morning. got a big money deal, as I predicted
but 99% of Raider fans think he sucks … because he’s not with the team anymore
LOL
————————————–
Most fans I know thought thats exactly the kind of deal he would get. Its not big money, considering the new market value set by Mario, Wimbleys getting what, less than half the money per season and 1/4 of guarnteed money? compared to marios deal
March 20th, 2012 at 9:31 am

Bunkley or
Garay(may be pricey)
Porter or
Marshall
Hill or
Rocky Mac
March 20th, 2012 at 9:32 am
Titans signed DE Kamerion Wimbley to a five-year, $35 million contract.
The deal includes $13.5 million guaranteed. Wimbley was already guaranteed $6.5 million following his release from the Raiders. He’s an excellent consolation prize for a team that missed out on Mario Williams as it got bogged down in the Peyton Manning sweepstakes, and should greatly improve a pass rush that notched just 28 sacks in 2011. That was good for 31st in the NFL. Wimbley has essentially been a 3-4 outside linebacker for most of his career, but he will play right end in Tennessee’s 4-3 defense. He’s notched at least 6.5 sacks each of the past three seasons. The Titans have a lot of pass-rush potential, with Derrick Morgan a full year removed from ACL surgery on the left end and the explosive, high-motor Wimbley rushing off the weak side
March 20th, 2012 at 9:33 am
Hayes, Mark has flat out vanished since hiring McKenzie. Not a peep. He’s going to give Reggie as much time as he needs to clean out the trash from previous management.

Reggie McKenzie is the Raiders. The last we heard from Mark is when Reggie was hired. As far as anyone can see, every football decision in this organization will be either made or approved of by Reggie McKenzie, and this will be the case for a LONG time.

March 20th, 2012 at 9:52 am
Maybin would have to be used strictly for pass rushing purposes on obvious passing downs.
I’m cool w/ that.
March 20th, 2012 at 9:53 am
Anybody want a grandpa in the secondary?
I almost forgot Ronde Barber is a free agent..
Bucs are interested in re-signing the 36 year old
he is currently weighing retirement & needs more time
we counter the Donkeys signing an old man at QB by signing an old man of our own to defend against him
Unlike Manning who missed all of last year with a neck injury, Ronde hasn’t missed a start since 1999 and he was more productive than ANYBODY in the Raiders secondary last season

Probably not an every down DE….but he can’t cover either….that is why he is not a big loss….too many holes in his game to commit that much $$ to. We may not find his replacement this season, but Reggie will find a LB who can stuff the run and cover, or rush the QB and stuff the run….a more complete LB…but it may be through the 2013 draft.
Would have liked to have kept Wimbley until then, but Reggie didn’t have a choice.
Great decision by Reggie. I think he is going to be a great GM. Great call on franchising Branch over Bush….good veteran CBs signed on one year deals to bridge the gap to the young guys or to when we have cap room someday….Reggie is the man.

I agree; I view him as being purely the Henderson role, i.e., a rotational run stuffer not full time starter.
But with DA saying he’s running a hybrid scheme he could be extra useful. Play on running downs in the 4-3 and be the NT in the 3-4.

Janikowski kicked field goals of 40, 47, 42, 19, 37 and 44 yards. Though Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer threw for 301 yards, the inability of the Raiders to finish off drives with touchdowns gave Janikowski opportunities.

Try not to smash your computer and hear us out…

X,
as my man Raider O states, we already have Terrelle Pryor as #2 QB
your #3 QB might as well be a guy like Boller, Frye or Losman because he’s just gonna hold a clipboard all year and get some reps during the preseason
dare I mention Jake Delhomme or A.J. Feeley for the vet minimum??

March 20th, 2012 at 10:38 am
I like Tim Tebow, I just would like to see him go to a team outside of the AFC West.
Saints would be a nice match imo
March 20th, 2012 at 10:38 am
If you are a Raider fan and you are scared of seeing Manning 2 times a year please turn in your jersey’s and all Raider gear. We only have room for fans with a “pair”.

March 20th, 2012 at 10:38 am
Tim Tebow has reportedly told friends he would like to be traded to a team in Florida.
It’s hardly a surprise Tebow would welcome a return to his home state, but the Jaguars and Dolphins may have both taken themselves out of the running for his services after signing veteran free agents. The Bucs are presumably not an option. The reality, of course, is that Tebow has no control over where he’ll go unless he’s granted his release. That does not appear likely at the moment.

Letting K. Wimbley was a mistake. I don’t think he even played in a true linebacker position since he was with the Raiders always rushing from the Edge does not define the true makeup of a line backer. I don’t feel Mark, Big MAC and D. Allen Know what they are doing other than taking a decent team with playoff hopes and turning the Raiders to bottom dwellers. I hope I am wrong but I don’t feel abit for positive direction.

CLE actually got rid of him, because he was unsuccessful as a DE in the 3-4. The Raiders took him hoping he would work out as a 4-3 LB.

Kam had plenty of Ops at LB, and was a huge liability in coverage. Truth is, we got the most we were going to get out of Wimbley. He is just an “ok” player, being paid like a “Very good” player.

Wonder what kind of offers Bush is getting?

I could see Reggie trading anyone of our defensive linemen, wide receivers,(except Moore), or either of our kickers/punters.
March 20th, 2012 at 10:46 am
Tim Tebow would have Marques Colston, Devery Henderson & Lance Moore at WR. Jimmy Graham at TE.
Mark Ingram, Chris Ivory, Darren Sproles & Pierre Thomas at RB
solid supporting cast & solid coaching
Drew Brees got tagged and they may not be able to work out a long term deal. They don’t have a #2 QB and Drew is 33 years old. I think he would beat out Sean Canfield & Chase Daniel (especially since he outplayed Orton & Quinn)
Brees is a christian man, so he would accept Tebow with open arms and probably teach him a thing or two.

Than he said, “anybody can win a home game against Caleb Hannie when you are kicking 50 yard field goals all game.”

And why would you want to trade either? We’d just have to go out a find another punter/kicker, who probably wouldn’t be half as good.
Does anyone here really want to go back to missing 2 or 3 field goals per game regularly, or having a punter who’s lucky to crack 35 yards/kick? ‘Cause I don’t.

I feel the Raiders primary goal this year is to save money and not to put the best players they can on the field. Restructure, Remove , Replace, with minimal to moderate talent & Minimal to moderate results. That is what I expect for the Raiders this year. I hope most Raider fans don’t expect much more. The fact is many other teams are building off a good year and the Raiders are tearing the team down and restructuring. Odds are slim winning will favor the Raiders this coming year.

RaiderRockstar Says:
March 20th, 2012 at 10:08 am
Question:
since Tommy Kelly, Seabass & Shane have not been restructured … does Reggie view their contracts “in whack” ???
and are we going to let Tyvon Branch play all season on the franchise tag?
=================================================
No and No. Kelly’s contract is high but not crazy high. Janikowsky is also high but again, not Rick James high. Routt’s contract was Rick James high. Wimbley is a pass rush specialist who did not deserve Mario Williams or Calias Campbell money. Lechler is being paid 4 times what the next Pro Bowl punter is being paid. Now Lechler is the emergency Q, and he is pretty well on his way to the HOF, but FOUR TIMES the next guy? That is out of whack.
With Branch it would make more sense to everyone to restructure that tender, spread it out over a few more years and get Tyvon more money overall, reduce his risk and help the team.
March 20th, 2012 at 11:08 am
If Tebow leaves the Donks, we should sign him right away. You know he’ll be supermotivated (especially twice per year), the guy just gets ugly wins, and he’s a good, young, tough backup for CP.
March 20th, 2012 at 11:09 am

=============================
I thought he did. That was the 3rd and short where Palmer went deep, and it was incomplete, and the Bears came back if I remember right.

That sounds like exactly like what is going on, but it’s important to clarify that “save money” is not a one year goal. They are doing damage control to a long term cap situation that was unsustainable. The cuts were not just about getting under the cap this year, but about taking the hit now to get rid of bad contracts that would impact the next several years. Ideally, part of that means bringing in new players with better long term deals for even more future cap health.
Yeah, it’s going to make it hard to field a strong team this season, but I look at this way. The Raiders have rookies in several instrumental spots: GM, HC, DC. Just like players, they are going to make rookie mistakes that will ultimately cost the team some games. They will improve with experience and make the team more competitive with more seasoning.
Put those together, and if you’re going to have a year where you are doing on the job training for your executive staff that will make it very difficult to create a championship level team, that might as well come at a time when you’re fixing the cap and taking the one year hit on the roster as well.

why give up a pick for a 2nd string qb? wouldn’t be pissed if tebow came here but not in a trade
March 20th, 2012 at 11:12 am
Garay is garbage
==========================
One of the top-rated NTs over the last couple years. Rare NT type who is disruptive in the backfield, not just a guy who can hold a double team. Would be a relatively inexpensive move, and would give the Raiders a rotational player who can plug gaps in the 4-3 and play a true 0-tech NT role in 3-4 looks.

The guy gets ugly wins WHEN the defense is holding the opposition to under 14 points. He has one or two scoring drives in him per game (that’s all the quota that God has granted him
. If the D is giving up 21+ per game, do you really want to count on Tebow to consistently give you more than 3 scoring drives per game? I definitely do not!

Tebow?? Not no, but fock no.
Why would we want to add a guy who will require an entire change of gameplan for, every single practice? Blocking schemes, routes, timing…everything changes when you go from a pocket-passing QB to a running QB.
If a Team doesn’t plan on playing Tebow all the time, he’d be a terrible waste of roster space, and coaches’ time…for a guy who may have to change positions to even have a chance to be on an NFL roster in 2-years.
Tebow’s a “luxury” we need to stay away from. He’s a GM’s albatross…just ask Elway.

The Bronco’s should cut Teblow right now. They cannot keep him on the roster even with Manning. What a team should really do with Teblow is turn him into an option FB. In other words, if you bring him here, you would have Carson as the Q, Dmac at HB and Teblow at FB, with the option to pass. That would be a very tough offense to game plan, and something the league has never seen before.

dare I mention Jake Delhomme or A.J. Feeley for the vet minimum??

All well and good but the article was abouit Tebow coming to Oakland as a LINEBACKER(!)

It’s a slow day so far.

If a Team doesn’t plan on playing Tebow all the time, he’d be a terrible waste of roster space, and coaches’ time…for a guy who may have to change positions to even have a chance to be on an NFL roster in 2-years

Since we’re talking about dogs. I have a confession…
Last week I tried getting my neighbors pitbull (Brutus) high. Blew hella smoke in his face. Don’t know if it worked or not.
March 20th, 2012 at 11:34 am
My bad. Whiners are trying to trade for Teblow right now.
March 20th, 2012 at 11:35 am
SI.com’s Peter King expects the Broncos to begin working on a Tim Tebow trade as soon as Tuesday night.
The Broncos want the narrative to be limited to Peyton Manning without the Tebow circus hanging over the franchise. ESPN’s Adam Schefter insists a trade “will happen,” and interested parties include the Jaguars, Packers, Dolphins and “maybe more.” Schefter does add that the 49ers have been “scratched” as a candidate for Tebow.

The guy gets ugly wins WHEN the defense is holding the opposition to under 14 points. He has one or two scoring drives in him per game (that’s all the quota that God has granted him . If the D is giving up 21+ per game, do you really want to count on Tebow to consistently give you more than 3 scoring drives per game? I definitely do not!
—-
Sorry, at work and stepped away for a bit. Zymurge, I don’t want the guy to start and he may not even play much but I say if he’s out there, he’s a good change of pace guy – think a quick fullback who can also throw – defences would hate it!

The Broncos are set to visit with New Orleans cornerback Tracy Porter on Wednesday, according to an NFL source. He is visiting with the Titans on Tuesday.
March 20th, 2012 at 11:56 am
Guys, I have a feeling Porter is not checking out physically. A few teams have passed on him – and given his production and his age, that doesn’t make sense without his health being a factor.

March 20th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
YA,
I think it has to do more with the deal he is demanding. I think team’s don’t want to give him a long term contract due to his history with Injurues. Money could be another issue.
March 20th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
i agree with YA on this one…. something is wrong.
i think if all was good we wouldnt have given him the chance to leave town without a contract.
March 20th, 2012 at 12:00 pm
I actually like Kelly Jennings as a backup plan to Porter. Not as high of an upside, but actually played better than Porter last season.
March 20th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
how do you think Moss will feel about Tebow throwing to him?
March 20th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
Porter has already visited the Bengals and Titans while drawing interest from the Raiders and Rams. He would likely replace Andre’ Goodman in Denver, starting opposite Champ Bailey.

Spencer wasn’t a system fit for SF’s new defense and Bartell had a broken neck (which has since healed and checks out medically). Too many other needs to sign those two AND Porter when we’re up against the cap.
