Raiders checking into nose tackle
By Steve Corkran
Tuesday, March 27th, 2012 at 3:34 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Alabama nose tackle Josh Chapman is scheduled to meet with the Raiders in a pre-draft visit, according to Scout.com.
The interest makes sense, given coach Dennis Allen’s stated intent to be “multiple” on defense. Playing some or all of a 3-4 scheme would require a stout defender in the middle of the line.
That’s where a player of Chapman’s talents come into play. He is 6-feet-1 and 316 pounds and well versed in the 3-4. We also know he’s plenty tough, as evidenced by his playing the final half of last season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Travis Ivey is the only other true nose tackle on Oakland’s roster. Ivey was signed late in the season to the Raiders practice squad.
“We haven’t decided any of that yet,” Allen said Monday, when asked about the 4-3 vs. the 3-4 next season. “We’re still going through the process of acquiring talent, looking into who we’re going to have on the team next year. Once we get through the draft, we’ll have a better feel what we want to do there.”
Several other teams reportedly are meeting with Chapman. He is regarded as the third-best nose tackle in the upcoming draft and should last into the third round, where the Raiders are scheduled to make their first pick.
The book on Chapman is, he shines against the run and isn’t much of a pass-rusher. Regardless, the Raiders need someone of his build and talent if they intend to play the 3-4.

I like chapman a whole lot…Doubt he will be around in the 3rd….
Alameda Ta’amu if he is around at 95 gotta take him

YO shout out to my homie Rodman
Used to party serious together back in the Newps days. We’d get all wacked out on wine coolers and bring hizzies back to his crib.
Once got down with Brooke Burke in the jacuzzi in his master bathroom. We went at it so hard I sported wood for 3 days after.
Yo, but Outback Steakhouse is no joke. Once ate 3 Chocolate Thunder from Down Unders and had to switch from boxers to briefs

NT’s don’t have to rush the passer, that’s what LB’s are for in a typical 3-4.
There’s only so many Bill Pickel’s out there.

Violent Hands Says:
March 27th, 2012 at 3:12 pm
Chapmans my kinda player and would be a steal at 95
Strength: Violent hands and good upper body strength to hold up inside versus the run. Flashes some explosiveness as a hitter. Can rag doll ball-carriers, tossing them to the ground easily.
++++++++
Solid call by one of the Semi’s….
March 27th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
I was watching the Raider/Texan game Sunday afternoon. Watched Jason Campbell, and I think he does, “settle” too much, too safe, Plus, he can’t throw the long ball for schit.
March 27th, 2012 at 3:40 pm
Ta’Amu is graded as a late 1st early 2nd. No way he falls to 95
March 27th, 2012 at 3:46 pm
Thanks for that expert analysis, Krappy.
You were sitting around in your soiled bermuda shorts on Sunday watching an old game and realized Campbell doesn’t have a strong arm.
Wasn’t there an open house or something your could’ve done instead, yes?

March 27th, 2012 at 3:54 pm
Hard thing about projecting NTs is that position is much like QB – it requires a rare skill set, so if your team needs one most GMs don’t mind “reaching” for a player they think can get it done.
Ta’amu will likely be gone in the 2nd round. I don’t see Chapman lasting past the middle of the 3rd, but I would love to see him on the board at #95.

That’s why Dontari Poe could go top 10. He’s a pass-rushing 3-4 nose tackle. I’d love to see him in Silver & Black, but I doubt Reggie will want to give up next year’s #1 to get him.

I guess if Goethel played ILB and Curry OLB, we’d still only need 1 more LB for a 3-4.

Curry is not a 3-4 OLB.
March 27th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
They say Ta’amu has a weight problem, and is slow off the ball, with no pass-rush.
March 27th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
Goethel is quick becoming another Schilens. Dude better show up this year.
On the other hand, I love value picks. Chapman would be a steal at 95.
March 27th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
All signs point to a 4-3.. Its unlikly we find a starting nose at the end of rd 3..

If you watch Ta’amu come off the ball he gets beaten badly when he’s out of shape…You can tell when he’s in shape and not in shape and it’s a giant difference… When he’s in shape he’s a dominant player when he’s not he’s lackadaisical and not a factor

You could probably shorten the first part of your post to “I guess if Goethel played”, and leave it at that.
No offense, but counting on that guy to contribute anything at this point is like not adding a potential starter at WR because you expect Chaz Schilens to be able to do it.
We’re gonna need to add more than one LB if the 3-4 is being seriously considered, and I think RM and DA know that. Nobody to step in at nose tackle at present (Not sayin Ivey can’t, but hasn’t done it yet), and a pretty thin group of LBs. Probably why DA is not committing to one scheme over another right now. He and Reggie want to see what the team looks like after the draft and free agency is done. Even then, I think they’ll wait until they see what they have in OTAs and minicamps to make any committments.

4-3 or 3-4, getting a heavyweight NT type that excels against the run is a plus. The DL needs someone to replace Hendu’s snaps in a way that complements the other guys in the middle.
The thing I saw last season was a pass rush and run stuffing in the first half of games that looked dominant followed by a fade in the second half, culminating in pure invisibility come 4th quarter and stopping the comeback drives. That points to fatigue. Both Seymour and Kelly aren’t every down interior guys given their attacking, penetrating style.
Having a big body that stuff runs, preserves the legs of Seymour and Kelly in a rotation, and that helps tire out the interior OL is all goodness. If a big NT takes a majority of the 1 through 3rd quarter 1st and 10 snaps, and plays in all of the short yardage situations, those are all plays that one of the vets get to take off. That means fresher legs in the 4th quarter when they can really tee off on the pass rush when the opposing team is in must pass mode.

2010 Scouting Report
Travis Ivey
Height: 6-4
Weight: 325
Born: 12/22/1986
Birthplace: Riverdale, MD
Scouting Report
A physically imposing defensive tackle, Ivey is expected to be selected late in the draft or not at all. The senior started all 12 games last season for Maryland, getting 25 tackles, with two going for loss, while also adding one sack and three fumble recoveries. He battled injuries in his previous seasons with the Terrapins, causing concerns about his durability. His attitude, work ethic and fitness are also areas scouts have identified as issues. However, Ivey didn’t start playing football until his junior year of high school, playing basketball before that, and that athleticism is a plus for scouts. He’s also shown good ability to clog running lanes, while his strength and power are bright spots. Ivey’s size is a major key to his success against the run, but it could also make him a threat to knock down passes. Those traits could help him add depth in the interior of a 3-4 defense, but his inconsistent play for Maryland coupled with his slow development might hurt his value on draft day. Still, some teams may see potential in his athleticism to help add depth to the line while also contributing on special teams.

Well, except their draft bio on curry…
______________________________________________________
The 2008 Butkus Award winner, given to the nation’s top linebacker, Curry so impressed the award’s namesake that Dick Butkus surprised him in early December when he arrived on campus to personally hand the award to its recipient.
Curry started 49 of the 51 games he appeared in, going on to rank third in school annals with 45.5 tackles behind the line of scrimmage. The All-American defender also finished ninth on Wake Forest’s all-time record list with 332 total tackles.
Curry outstanding field vision and ball awareness skills saw him not only wreak havoc in the opposition’s backfield on the blitz, but also excel in pass coverage. He returned three of his four interceptions for touchdowns as a junior, tying the NCAA single-season record for linebackers that was first set by Malcolm Postell of Pittsburgh, who also had three in 2004. Only cornerback Deltha O’Neal of California scored more on interception returns in a season (four in 1999) in major college annals.
Curry gained a total of 226 yards on those interception returns in 2007, setting the school and Atlantic Coast Conference single-season records. He was just the third player in league annals to gain more than 200 yards on interception returns in a season. His 226 yards placed fifth in NCAA history, becoming the 10th college player to gain more than 200 yards.

I’ve never seen the guy play, but I know for sure that if he’s carrying an extra 50 lbs minimum, fatigue will set in quickly and his strength will be greatly diminished.
He will be huffin and puffin, and not able to revover quickly enough between snaps.

Blast the pure pass rushers out there. We need, and have needed for years, a nose tackle who clogs the middle and stuffs the run at the LOS, grabs the runner and head plants him.

Wish we could somehow get back into the 3rd…

Basedon CBS Draft Rankings, I would love to see any of these guys picked by the Raiders between Rounds 3-6. This is how I rank these players though.
DT Brandon Thomspon Clemson rSr 6-2 315 Rd 2
Josh Chapman DT 8 Alabama rSr 6-1 316 2-3
Derek Wolfe DT 13 Cincinnati Sr 6-5 295 4
Alameda Ta’amu DT 10 Washington Sr 6-3 348 3
Jaye Howard DT 15 Florida rSr 6-3 301 4-5
Hebron Fangupo DT 17 Brigham Young rSr 6-1 323 5-6
Akiem Hicks DT 18 Regina rSr 6-5 318 6
Nicolas Jean-Baptiste DT 21 Baylor rSr 6-2 335 7-FA
^^^^^
From here CBS has Wolfe ranked as a 4th Rounder! If Wolfe he is there at the end of the 3rd Round for the Raiders to snatch up and if Chapman is gone. They better pick him ahead of any OLB that is rated in that same range IMO.
They can get a OLB in Round 4.
Derek Wolfe is a BEAST and can play as a 3-4 DE who cna hold the edge and as a penetrating disruptive 4-3 DT.

But there will be some later-round options. Damon Harrison and Nic Jean-Baptiste would be options – but they’d be more developmental guys.

Excellent post.
And, the same “problem” exists all over the field: we’re loaded with young potential, but it’s far from proven NFL talent.
There are too many people who believe we can count on guys like TaiJones, Goethel, Shaughnessy, et al…when those guys haven’t shown an ability to stay on the field, let alone perform to expectations for extended periods.
ReggieMcK’s on record saying he wants another legitimate guy @ RB and QB…that’s because he knows we can’t count on rookies to fill those spots. If we’re fortunate, some of the guys mentioned above, and some of the rookies we bring in, will “get it.” But counting on them play after play (even when healthy), is impossible at this point.

Kawakami: “So far, that has taken McKenzie and the Raiders through an uncomfortable path this free-agent period. Uncomfortable for their fans, at least.”
I don’t think that many fans (surely the writer cruises this blog for fan reaction–where else would he get it?) on this blog have expressed the level of discomfort Kawakami suggests. I think most of us are just fine with the way RM is proceeding because we understand his goal and the monetary limitations of this first year as well as the mistakes of the past.
All in all, though, a fair article…

sleepers
Bobby Rainey, RB, W.Kentucky – absolutely ran all over Nebraska last fall – 155 yds rush, sleeper (Ray Rice type)
Micah Pellerin, FS, Hampton – a corner slot cover type that could move over to FS *similar to how Malcolm Jenkins did for Dennis Allen at N.Orleans
Brett Roy, DE/DT, Nevada – very similar to Jaguars Matt Roth, a guy who could play on the line or off as a 3-4 OLB, and can set the edge.
Asa Jackson, CB, Cal-Poly – lit up the stopwatch at combine, dynamic cover/return type…is higher on a lot of boards, hoping he will drop

No doubt it is, for a 4-3 defense. We still need another outside linebacker and have question marks at corner.
In my opinion we don’t currently have the personnel necessary to field a competent 3-4 defense. That could change with what remains of free agency, and the draft.
What do you think?

Master Beech!!
Its question time
Last week after work I got cleaned up and went to the tittie bar. Bought me some old spice cologne for men so I smell good.
This big tittied blonde leans over puts her boobies in my face and says “you smell good, what have you got on”?
I said “I got a hardon but I didnt know you could smell it.
Well , she likes my game so she is coming over for dinner tonight. I told her I was a good cook but I cant cook so I got us some of those chicken pot pies from KFC and Bartles & James was on sale so I am all set.
My question is when I make her call a cab to get home should I walk her to the curb or just later from the door?

Sure, let’s continue to be weak against the run. That way the Broncos and Chargers can do whatever they want, instead of us being able to control them on first and second down and making them more predictable so that we can use different packages on third down to confuse and disrupt their passing game.
I could go on, but you obviously aren’t even able to grasp the basics so I’ll stop there.

^^^^^^^^^
Exactly. For a straight up 4-3 base defense it is…at least for now.
Seymour is at the tail end of his career. He may have one more year after this season…and that is a maybe.
Kelly is not getting younger and he is not a 3-4 NT.
Shauny is in a contract year Bryant is going to be FA next year I believe.
Champan is that 3-4 scheme diverse anchor in the middle and Wolfe is a strong scheme diverse 3-4 DE or 4-3 DT who plays the run well and penetrates and causes disruption.
Mossaquoi is a more of 3-4 stand up OLB who can get to the QB and play against the run. He just needs to be coached up a bit more….but the talent and physical ability is there. I think if needed…Mossaquoi can also play down as a nickel rusher from the RDE spot.

March 27th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
Come to think of it…I rate DT/DE Derek Wolfe higher than Chapman. I think Wolfe can bring more to the table as a late 3rd early 4th round pick.
The Raiders can pick a NT type in Round 5 after getting a solid potentially versatile and scheme diverse OLB prospect in Round 4.

We don’t need a NT. we need more UTs. Bryant, Houston, Kelly, and Seymour are not enough.
Add another UT who can rush the passer, but can’t help against the run. Why should we try to stop the run? Manning is in our division. Manning doesn’t run!

We don’t need to stop the run. Being one dimensional on defense is much better. being able to stop the run and the pass is overrated! Remember when we were great against the pass, but we were allowing 150+ yards per game on the ground. Uhhhh the good ol days.

March 27th, 2012 at 7:46 pm
Another key for Allen and Tarver on defense this year is finding someone who can cover TE’s and the slot WR’s.
Can Lee, Underwood, and especially incumbent MM34 step it up this year?
Someone needs to step it up.
I still hope McK and Allen keep Gio around for depth purposes and special teams.
March 27th, 2012 at 7:48 pm
Bryant had 5 sacks, Seymour had 6.5, and TK had 7.5 sacks, so we need to add another pass rushing DT aka UT. You can never have enough sacks from the DT position!
March 27th, 2012 at 7:49 pm
Drafting young CB’ in the middle rounds of drafts and hoping they can become difference makers in the pass defense when McK is adding DB’s all over the place through FA already is silly IMO.
I’m hoping McK and Allen do NOT draft any CB’s from Round 5 or earlier. If they do…I will be pissed.
March 27th, 2012 at 7:49 pm
Q: On growing up in the Dallas area:
Allen: I think growing up in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the thing about growing up there, you really get a feel for what football’s all about. The tradition of Texas high-school football produces some of the best coaches in the world. I think high-school coaches in general, that’s where players really learn the fundamentals of playing the game. I was fortunate to grow up there and be a part of some of the best high-school coaching there is.

Hmm….how about this little potential Raider mock? I wouldn’t mind seeing a nice McK and Allen Raider draft like this.
Round 3- NT Josh Chapman, Bama 6-1, 312 or DT/DE Derek Wolfe, Cinncy 6-5, 295
Round 4- OLB/DE Jonathan Massaquoi, Troy 6-2, 264
Round 5- NT Nicolas Jean-Baptiste, Baylor 6-2 335
Round 5- RB Terrance Ganaway, Baylor 6-0 239 or RB
Brandon Bolden, Miss 5-11 222

I read the scouting and draft reports on Alabama nose tackle Josh Chapman.
He sounds like an excellent prospect. The only issue would be his knee: did he tear it up more playing on it all season, and will he suffer any permanent disabling effect because he continued to play with the torn ACL and meniscus?

The power to acquire T.O. is the power to destroy.
I doubt Reggie will do that: better to bring in a youngster and develop him for rookie minimum.
March 27th, 2012 at 8:15 pm
If only DHB could go for the Ball like TO. Although, I’m pleasantly surprised by his development. He’s a beast, AFTER the catch.
March 27th, 2012 at 8:27 pm
DHB has gotten better each offseason. I look for improved route running this upcoming season.
March 27th, 2012 at 8:28 pm
DHB can catch passes but has no nose for the goal line. Plus, it’s difficult to truly excel in the NFL, when a WR catches the ball by trapping it against his body.
DHB was force fed the ball last season and is one of the last of AD scholarship players.
March 27th, 2012 at 8:28 pm

Last game of the season, LONG after Davis had passed, and with all the WRs healthy and active, DHB was a primary target of a QB that had ZERO ties to Davis.

I never expected to say that, either. I was one of his early critics. Very happy to being on the way to dead wrong.
March 27th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
Shut ur mouth soft line, who gives a dam how he catches the ball, as long as he catches it. Don’t throw stones, u probably can’t catch a beach ball.
March 27th, 2012 at 9:01 pm
I like DHB a lot. He is a hard worker, and he keeps improving. I think we are set at WR, if McGee can play. I like having a big target for red zone situations.
March 27th, 2012 at 9:05 pm
And if he was force fed how come teams couldn’t stop him, one of our reciever almost Hits 1000 yards and people still hate. We haven’t seen a reciever get that close since Curry droped 700.
March 27th, 2012 at 9:08 pm
An Interesting stat someone posted about DHB last week. He had one of the best reception % in the league. His was 56+%, and I think it was higher than Larry’s.
March 27th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
Q: On inheriting a team on the doorstep of the playoffs last year:
Allen: That’s one of the things we’re excited about. This team wasn’t far away when I got here. We’re excited about trying to build on that and develop this team into a playoff-caliber team.
======
Translation: “After what we’ve done to it, this is no longer a play off caliber team.”
Davis locked in big money long term deals because he built a team he knew was a winner. Add a few key pieces to that D and cut back on the injuries to the O and we’d have been in like Flynn.
Too bad the old man died leaving no other choice than to gut the team cuz no one other than Davis could run it the way it was.
Sure Hue could’ve babysat the team thru another year and maybe we would’ve made play offs in 2012 under HUe but then it may have been alot rougher to get rid of him.

Al is gone already. The team is better for it now and in the long run. We really didn’t lose much this offseason. Cp3 better then Campbell, route solid number 2 but replacable. We might have got a couple cb that can play at his level for a fraction of the price. Bush I liked but he can be replaced cheap. Wimbley release did hurt. He was solid but was getting paid like he was elite. He will be hard to replace this season but were better for releasing him in the long run. His contract was ridicules
March 27th, 2012 at 9:24 pm
I don’t think anyone in his right mind thinks DHB is better than Larry, but DHB had a better catching % than Larry last season. I think A Johnson was the leader with 64+%. RBs and TEs have a better %.
The point is he can’t be that bad, if he has a high catching %, and above avg YPC.

Terrelle Pryor completed 60% of his passes as a true freshman, 56% his sophomore year, and 65% his senior year.
TP is a better athlete than Cam and RG3, and he is more accurate than J Locker, but some of you think he shouldn’t play QB?!
He was drafted in the 3rd because of his off the field issue.

Master Beech!!
Its question time
Last week after work I got cleaned up and went to the tittie bar. Bought me some old spice cologne for men so I smell good.
This big tittied blonde leans over puts her boobies in my face and says “you smell good, what have you got on”?
I said “I got a hardon but I didnt know you could smell it.
Well , she likes my game so she is coming over for dinner tonight. I told her I was a good cook but I cant cook so I got us some of those chicken pot pies from KFC and Bartles & James was on sale so I am all set.
My question is when I make her call a cab to get home should I walk her to the curb or just later from the door?
———————————————–
Schitt honey, I’ll bring a gallon of vintage Gallo and I’ll be ova too. Fck that cheap bastard Master Beeecham, his rod done gone in one too many skank. We’ll just kick her to the curb and I’ll do bull riding, if you get my drift.

Raiders checking into nose tackle
By Steve Corkran
Tuesday, March 27th, 2012 at 3:34 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Alabama nose tackle Josh Chapman is scheduled to meet with the Raiders in a pre-draft visit, according to Scout.com.
The interest makes sense, given coach Dennis Allen’s stated intent to be “multiple” on defense. Playing some or all of a 3-4 scheme would require a stout defender in the middle of the line.
That’s where a player of Chapman’s talents come into play. He is 6-feet-1 and 316 pounds and well versed in the 3-4. We also know he’s plenty tough, as evidenced by his playing the final half of last season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Travis Ivey is the only other true nose tackle on Oakland’s roster. Ivey was signed late in the season to the Raiders practice squad.
“We haven’t decided any of that yet,” Allen said Monday, when asked about the 4-3 vs. the 3-4 next season. “We’re still going through the process of acquiring talent, looking into who we’re going to have on the team next year. Once we get through the draft, we’ll have a better feel what we want to do there.”
Several other teams reportedly are meeting with Chapman. He is regarded as the third-best nose tackle in the upcoming draft and should last into the third round, where the Raiders are scheduled to make their first pick.
The book on Chapman is, he shines against the run and isn’t much of a pass-rusher. Regardless, the Raiders need someone of his build and talent if they intend to play the 3-4.

Da trinity, #129, #131,
Opponent teams couldn’t stop DHB ?? I doubt they tried much since he only scored 4 TD’s.
On the other hand Jerry Rice in his 3rd season gained 1061 yds through the air and caught 23 TD’s.
Also it does matter how a WR catches a ball: case in point is Manningham in this last Superbowl, who, by use of body position and catching the ball with his hands scored the game winning TD. Essentially the ball was thrown out of bounds and Manningham reached out with his hands and snagged it over the boundary line. He could have never done that trapping the ball against his body to catch it.
Another thing DHB can’t do is position his body to leverage out opponent CB’s, or go up for the long ball and come down with it like Ford and Moore.
I feel like Edward Teach does, which is that I hope DHB develops into a great WR and takes us to the Superbowl, but I think that will be left to Moore.
Finally, I find it humorous that you have to resort to name calling, and petty phrases like “softline, shut up.”
I think you have a drug problem to be riled so easily.

J locker never completed 60% of his passes at college, and his highest % was 58, and he was drafted in the 1st round.
Terrelle Pryor completed 60% of his passes as a true freshman, 56% his sophomore year, and 65% his senior year.
TP is a better athlete than Cam and RG3, and he is more accurate than J Locker, but some of you think he shouldn’t play QB?!
He was drafted in the 3rd because of his off the field issue.
You People….
—
Can’t argue with legit stats that u present.
I was in attendance at Camp Randall and saw Pryor in person. I was rooting for him too. I can’t stand Badger fans. Anyway, this was a big time match up for him against a real defense and he looked like he didn’t belong on the field, although he DID make a few nice jukes here and there.
I want Pryor to succeed with the Raiders and have no agenda in tearing him down, but he did not look good. I’m sure he was fine against the Illini’s, Hoosiers, and Boilermakers of the world but to me…he was not impressive at all. I think he got outplayed by Scott Tolzein for crying out loud.
Yes, it was one game and I have watched him play on tv and play well, but he seems to throw a very wobbly ball and I can only recall him hitting wide open guys who had to wait for the ball to get there.
I’ve seen the youtube stuff and he looks good there, and he has a nice running style; he can get 5 yds. a step, but as a passer? I don’t know.
I hope he can get it done and look forward to preseason.

There is hope for us yet. I agree with you 100% and hope TP plays for substantial time periods in pre-season. I would also like to see him play in a real game too.

NT’s don’t have to rush the passer, that’s what LB’s are for in a typical 3-4.
There’s only so many Bill Pickel’s out there.
=====================================
That’s why Dontari Poe could go top 10. He’s a pass-rushing 3-4 nose tackle. I’d love to see him in Silver & Black, but I doubt Reggie will want to give up next year’s #1 to get him.
*************************************
Sorry if I’m late here, but I was talking about Poe back in December. Granted, I’m a Memphis Tigers fan and was thus familiar with him, but I’m demanding my props for calling him as a good pick worth trading up for (when he was still projected mid/late 2nd round)
March 27th, 2012 at 11:05 pm
#194,
I saw Ohio St. vs. Wis. two yrs. ago in Madison.
I got the tix from a guy I used to work with (in radio). It’s funny cuz this guy is like 63 now and the only way he could survive in the business was by taking a gig as a hard rock dj. He colored his hair, grew a goutee, and really tried hard to look the part.
He had been a dj at a soft rock station before that.
He was replaced last yr. Kinda sad cuz he really tried hard to be this hip guy. Now, he still has to work so he took job at insurance agency.
March 27th, 2012 at 11:05 pm
I have Donatari Poe going in the lst round or mid second at the latest. Don’t think he will be around by the time we pick.
March 27th, 2012 at 11:10 pm
Sorry, what I should have said was you are right Redneck Raider, we SHOULD trade up and get Poe. That guy is a PLAYA.

Hardline # 188,
When I saw that drop by Welker in the SB, I kept thinking if any of our Raiders would make that “easy” catch. DHB? I don’t think so. Couldn’t think of anyone else that makes that grab except for D. Moore.
You’re right. Gotta use the hands.
March 27th, 2012 at 11:15 pm

I think the true test of how far along Pryor is in development will be on how much capital McK spends at backup QB.
If he’s the messiah that many people here think he is, I doubt McK will even bring in a third QB. Thats what most of the teams with franchise QB’s do. Gamble with just two QBs.
I’m guessing Mck spends a surprising amount of capital on a true 2nd string QB… and Pryor remains third string. Either that or he is converted to WR.
We shall see…
March 28th, 2012 at 1:45 am
Thanks Cork for update. Often draft prospects pro team visits don’t mean much (sometimes players say they’re drafted by team with little interest) but this is first hint at where defense is going. Please try to find out more soon re: defensive plans
by the way, almost no modern NFL nose tackles, esp. 3-4 nose tackles, are good pass rushers, at least in the sense of getting sacks; pocket pushers some.
in Denver last year they ran 4-3 but lined up one of the tackles on center’s nose usually; a “4-3 NT”. I think it was usually Broderick Bunkley and he is a good run defender with strong anchor and low center of gravity but he did play on the move a lot, not a space eater type who sits at line digs in and takes on 2 blockers

Dennis Allen talked up the D-Line. Seymour restructured. Bryant was tendered.
a Tommy Kelly restructure would save the team about $5 million, but there has been no mention of that.
Kelly isn’t needed if we do switch to a 3-4 Defense.
Seymour, Bryant & Houston could all fill the 3-4 base end role nicely and you still got guys like Luis Castillo in FA
Bcz mentioned something about TK being traded yesterday and I didn’t think he could be traded due to that contract, but I’m starting to think he’ll be on the trade block during the entire draft, even if it means we only get a 4th or 5th round draft pick in return. If Tommy Kelly was an unrestricted free agent, he would draw plenty of interest. If we can find a team with cap space who is intrigued by #93 , I think he’s wearing different colors next season
Reggie said something about your 3th & 4th rounders being “starters” , didn’t he?
Chapman (if available) would be our 3rd rounder, #95 overall. 1st pick in the BigMac era of Raider football.

Kind of a lame stat to show. That he was 4th in Completion Percentage in teh Big Ten. And 4th in the Big 10 in passing yards.
But being 10th in the whole NCAA in effeciency is a pretty good stat. But that means that there were 9 QBs ahead of him.

1) I agree that while Kelly is still a valuable piece of the defense, going forward and into the transition of the 34, he’s a wasted resource. If he could fetch a 3rd or 4th rounder, depending on who is still on the board, you do that deal. But if Reggie Mac’s boys are all overdrafted and only depth remains, you ride TK to the end of his deal.
I love taking Chapman at 95. He’s got the most upside for his draft standing at a position of great need on the defense. He sounds like a bruiser who can clog the middle and at least be a possible answer to the needed NT slot with him or Ivey stepping up.

It seems that Reggie Mck is a very patient man. You know that Al would have jumped quickly to sign Branch long term and restructure others to jump into the FA signing pool. If only to stroke his ego as a player going into the owners meetings.
Reggie doesn’t seem to care about any of that. Sticking to his plan.

It was a hypothetical.
March 28th, 2012 at 6:37 am

March 28th, 2012 at 6:39 am
@G123
oddly enough, I think guys like Wimbley & Routt would have restructured for Al Davis & Hue Jackson.
they had no reason to be loyal to McKenzie & Allen.. those aren’t the guys that recruited them to Oakland, coached them or gave them MONSTER contracts
and I agree, Davis wouldn’t have hesitated to break the bank for Tyvon Branch.
btw, did Al Davis even attend the owners meeting the past 2 years? I think his health was so bad, maybe he sent somebody to represent him (HueJax, Herrera, Trask, his son with the awesome haircut, etc)

This may sound crazy because I don’t follow how the cap works, free agency dollars, etc. But do you think they may not want to restructure Kelly’s contract because this may be his last year any way and they don’t want to string those dollars out when they let him go after next year. Maybe they just want to take the hit of that crazy contract Al gave this under performer and just take the rest of the hit next year.
I mean really, is that not how we got into this pickle in the first place by the constant restructuring of these over priced contracts to free up cap space for average performance on the field?

But do you think they may not want to restructure Kelly’s contract because this may be his last year any way and they don’t want to string those dollars out when they let him go after next year.
******************
Kelly’s cap hit this year is 8.9 mill, next year 9.3 mill, and 2102 it is 9.9 mill. They could have cut him this year at a cap cost of just shy of 6 mill and saved nearly 3 mill this year if they wanted. It makes no sense to restructure him and essentially guarantee more of his future money at this point, although next year I could see a cut and resign at a more reasonable salary, unless he performs at a pro bowl level this year.
March 28th, 2012 at 6:47 am

I don’t think Reg will take anything less than a 4th rounder, and that’s if (a very big if)
if someone he has high on his draft board falls and he can’t ignore the value. Otherwise big Reggie will wait patiently and bide his time till he’s on the clock.
March 28th, 2012 at 6:48 am
so much for that…
Free agent OLB Manny Lawson is telling teammates that he has agreed to terms with the Bengals.
Lawson drew light interest from the Packers, Colts, and Raiders, but not enough to be lured away from the Queen City. An early-down strong-side linebacker with little pass-rushing ability, Lawson is an asset in coverage and run support.

CJL,
the cap hit to part ways with Kelly next year is actually MORE than it would be this year
http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/oakland-raiders/tommy-kelly/
However, I’m not sure if Kelly’s bonus money would then be excellerated.. Bcz has a better understanding of this than I do (good hire, JFB)
Hopefully we’ll have more cap wiggle room to do some things next offseason. One thing is for sure, at least Reggie & Dennis will have a full season to evaluate who is on the roster and we’ll have more draft picks to use
yo McClain, lemme upgrade ya!!
March 28th, 2012 at 6:50 am
I really hope Houston and Shaugnasty can get it going this year!!! If these two dominate at DE it could get real nasty!!!!! Aginst manning and Rivers their presure will be key!

TK’s cap hit going forward isn’t sustainable. If they don’t get any attractive trade offers, they cut him next offseason and move on. No way they restructure him at this point in his career.
But who knows? I thought it was also impossible that they would restructure Seymour and he’s even older. That move still makes no sense to me.

so much for that…
Free agent OLB Manny Lawson is telling teammates that he has agreed to terms with the Bengals.
Lawson drew light interest from the Packers, Colts, and Raiders, but not enough to be lured away from the Queen City. An early-down strong-side linebacker with little pass-rushing ability, Lawson is an asset in coverage and run support.
——————————
Woulda been nice…….Man the Bengals are loaded on paper. They have plenty of cap room as well.
March 28th, 2012 at 6:56 am
Never liked Manny Lawson’s game anyway. He’s not the answer to filling Kam’s shoes. Don’t think there are any FA’s left out there who could. We gotta get lucky in the draft.
March 28th, 2012 at 6:56 am
I think Reg is done bleeding off talent. I dont think you will see ANY players traded at all (unless some foolish GMs offers the farm)

@bcz
did you read Reggie’s last two Q&A sessions? He was asked those questions directly and said he’s open to it.
I don’t see Reggie as a smokescreen type of guy. Seems like a honest dude. I’d be surprised if he said one thing and did another.
Reggie/Dennis Raiders new slogans are trust, honesty & integrity

@ RRS,
I see Reg as a exactly a smokescreen type of guy. The good ones anyway are all like that. He’s got a good poker face, although I don’t expect any huge surprises regardless. But going into the draft with few picks and little cap ammo, his best weapon is a tight vested strategy.

TK will be on the trade block during the entire draft, even if it means we only get a 4th or 5th rounder in exchange for him
***********
I don’t think Reg will take anything less than a 4th rounder, and that’s if (a very big if)
if someone he has high on his draft board falls and he can’t ignore the value. Otherwise big Reggie will wait patiently and bide his time till he’s on the clock.
================================================
I could see TK + a 5th-rounder for a 2nd-rounder.
This means we could get a top OLB and Chapman/Ta’ami for the nose.
If we do go 3-4, it’s not like Kelly really has a spot in that scheme anyway.

@G123
like you said, if Seymour did it – so can Kelly
restructure his deal to the vet minimum, like we did Palmer & Huff. convert that into a bonus and that gives us $5 million in cap room this offseason
March 28th, 2012 at 7:08 am
I like the idea of a NT, but I also like how the 3rd best NT might not be one of the first 100 guys picked.
By that time, there will probably be close to a dozen DB’s taken.
With each passing year, the value of a “true” NT diminishes.

What the hell happened last night? I am watching the Lakers-Warriors and I start to fall asleep when the Lakers were up 14, I wake up a few minutes later and it was tied 95-95…..
….wtf? Getting sick of the Lakers blowing these big leads.
March 28th, 2012 at 7:15 am
That one dude from the Warriors had a field day last night scoring 30 points…
Bynum was benched for attempting a 3 point shot with time left, blah blah blah…
Kobe came in and won it for them!
March 28th, 2012 at 7:18 am
Hwnrdr,
Yeah, I saw Kobe’s heroics at the end of the game…..I was just waking up as some moron for the Lakers missed two free throws, but I couldn’t tell who it was….game was tied 95-95….might have been Barnes.
Daaayyyyyyum! Makes me sick.
And Kobe is still shooting like schyyyyt. 9-24 is not getting the job done. He is starting to turn into Allen Iverson.
March 28th, 2012 at 7:19 am
I know, that is bad…and Bynum is acting retarded right now saying that he will take more 3’s…because he finally made one on Sunday night. Gasol was saying, no, that is not your game! We’ll see what happens though!

Last year I was all for it. This year i’m cool to ride with Heyward-Bey, Murphy, Moore, Ford and maybe McGee
add in some receptions for Myers, Gordon, Ausberry, Reece & McFadden … I don’t see a place for Terrell Owens
Carson Palmer is going to be a Pro Bowler without him
If Ford or Murphy get traded? if a serious injury occurs?
then yes. get Owens on the first plane to Oakland
March 28th, 2012 at 7:36 am
Why is Palmer working out with McGee and Ausberry (and of course DHB; pretty much a given at this stage that he is working with his QB) so much?

Get him a Southwest $59 ticket to Oakland. I’m talking about that kind of investment in TO.

NT’s have very short shelve lives and are not everydown players.
Big DT’s have one of the highest 1st round bust rates of any position.
The league knows you need a nickle corner more than a NT, hence why a bunch of nickle corners will be drafted ahead of the best NT’s in the draft.

Of course the Raiders are one of the rare teams that can’t stop a nose bleed for 10 years on the ground, so their need for a run-stuffer is much greater than most.

Chapman would be a nice option at 95. But not the only option. We still need a LB or two badly. Lots of needs, it’s about watching the value fall and assessing the need.

I’m not worried about Owens’ health or attitude. I’m not worried about how much it might cost to bring him in either. I like Terrell Owens. Ask anybody on this blog.
I just happen to think that the Raiders are set at WR & TE – barring trades or injuries. I didn’t feel that way last offseason, but that was prior to the emergence of King Darrius & Denny Moore. Plus Palmer keeps talking up McGee & Ausberry!
March 28th, 2012 at 8:07 am
I’m all for trading TK for the right compensation. Shonasty is off limits though. Dude is nails. I’m only worried about his injury history. But if we are going to run the 4-3, he’s the perfect fit at RDE.
March 28th, 2012 at 8:08 am

I feel ok with our WR’s … Except maybe Murphy( trade him)…. But till they become what we think they will I’d be ok with a vetran… Still not sold on TO but I wouldn’t kick and scream either if Reggie and Allen decided to go there …agree he might be more humbled these days
March 28th, 2012 at 8:10 am
Fairley – Not a NT
Liuget – played more DE, 19 total tackles
Taylor – Played very well; stud NT
Jenkins – blew out Knee didn’t play
Austin – Injured never played
Paea – 14 tackles, rarely played, not a NT
McClain – Not a NT, played OK, but (suprise) ended up on IR
Casey – Not a NT, but played very well
Nevis – Not a NT, rarely played
Ellis – Never played, inactive most weeks
Awesome list huh??
March 28th, 2012 at 8:11 am
RRS, I know you are high on ‘King Darrius’ lol
But for all of his hard work, could he work on hand catching and eye-hand coordination skills a bit more. I too love his work ethic. He could force me to change my opinion of him. But he’s gotta look prettier catching the ball. I think Terrell Owens can teach him a lot and be a good mentor on and off the field.

this Chapman kid is coming off a knee injury?
Too much risk for me in the 3rd round.

@JFB
the 3rd round is where you get guys with potential. guys who are projects. guys who need to be developed. guys coming off injury. combine freaks and athletes usually start after the Top 75 picks
you know this. ain’t nobody PROVEN gotta last until #95
March 28th, 2012 at 8:25 am
Just because 10 DTs were drafted before the 95th pick doesn’t mean it will happen the same way next year. Maybe it was a weak draft for DTs, or Maybe teams didn’t have a lot of needs at DT since the prev draft was loaded with good DTs.

Reggie’s been given a lot of credit as a talent evaluator. This is going to be a huge test to draft the right guys with the handful of late picks he has to work with. And probably unreasonable expectations that go with his reputation.

I project all 10 of these guys will be off the board when we pick at #95
unless Chapman’s injury scares off a few teams and Kheeston Randall & Marcus Forston get picked before him. thats the only way he slips to us

I think hightower runs waay harder than jacobs..

What that means is he was 4th in his conference in completion percentage. That ain’t that good. Especially when you realize he feasted against inferior opponents and struggled against better competition.

-How many DT’s were drafted early in the draft last year.

1. Moving the trade deadline from Week Six to Week Eight.
2. Increasing the offseason and training camp roster limit from 80 to 90.
3. Allowing one roster exemption per week for a player who’s inactive with a concussion.
4. Allowing a player who’s put on injured reserve early in the season to return to the field after eight weeks, rather than having all players on injured reserve automatically out for the season.

The 4 possible rule changes listed above all sound logical to me.

I like TK and I think he will be much better against the run this year with better coaching and schemes that insist on “doing your job and being accountable” I don’t want to trade him but if we could get a 2 nd rounder in exchange for TK and our 5th rounder I would jump all over that but
I think Hell would freeze over before that trade would happen.
What’s everyone else think? If we were to trade T. Kelly, what could we get in return?
And off topic but I think Warriors fans are gonna be very happy next year. Might not completely forget about Monta, but once we get Bogut on board and start putting pieces around him things are gonna only get better! As much as I loved Monta, this was the right move!

This whole NFL bracket thing is nothing more than a popularity contest.
I think about half this blog would vote against the Raiders in any circumstance.
Especially the guys that WANT the Raiders to go on a 5 yr. “rebuild”. Why? Not cuz they think it’s the wise, prudent, sound minded way to build a team long term, but cuz they don’t like the fact we were so close last year to at least winning the west and they’d rather see us dismantle any chance of winning in the near future, with the long term hope being that any “rebuilding” effort will collapse.
Not to disparage the ones here who DO want a “rebuild” for the right reasons.
I’m talking about the ones here (and there are) who pretend they are fans of the team but secretly hate them with a passion.
Vent over.
Thanks.

Your NFL owners at work.
From profootballtalk.com. Posted by Michael David Smith on March 28, 2012, 1:08 PM EDT
The NFL’s owners voted to change five on-field rules, voted not to change two on-field rules, voted to change one bylaw and voted to table five bylaw proposals at the league meeting on March 28.
Proposed rules changes:
1. FAILED: Giving the authority to determine replay reviews to the replay official in the booth, not the referee on the field.
2. FAILED: Modifying the horse-collar tackle rule to remove the exception for quarterbacks in the pocket, so that a quarterback in the pocket may not be yanked down by the back of his shoulder pads or inside collar of his jersey.
3. PASSED: Changing overtime so that the postseason rule will be used in the regular season as well, and no regular-season games will be ended on a field goal on the first possession of overtime.
4. PASSED: Adding a loss of down to the penalty for kicking a loose ball, as is the case in college football.
5. PASSED: Adopting the college rule for too many men on the field, which is a dead-ball foul if a team lines up on offense for more than three seconds, or if a team on defense lines up with too many men and the snap is imminent. In those cases, the officials will blow the play dead and assess a five-yard penalty. This change wouldn’t affect the rulings on players running off the field who don’t get off in time.
6. PASSED: Expanding the defenseless player rule to protect defensive players on crackback blocks, making it illegal to hit them in the head or neck area.
7. PASSED: Automatically reviewing turnovers via instant replay, just as scoring plays are automatically reviewed.
The league also considered the following bylaws:
1. PASSED: Modifying the roster rules for teams that play on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
2. TABLED: Moving the trade deadline from Week 6 to Week 8.
3. TABLED: Expanding the roster limit for training camp and the offseason to 90 players, with unsigned draft picks now counting toward that limit, whereas in the past unsigned draft picks did not count toward the 80-player limit.
4. TABLED: Moving this year’s final roster cutdown day to Friday night instead of Saturday, which is designed to give an extra day of work after cutting down to final rosters for the two teams playing in the first game of the season, which this year is on Wednesday instead of Thursday.
5. TABLED: Adding an injured reserve exemption so that if a player was on the roster through the first regular season weekend, that player can be placed on injured reserve and designated for return, and then can return to practice six weeks later and play in a game eight weeks later, rather than having all players on injured reserve out for the season.
6. TABLED: Allowing one roster exemption per team per week for a player who is inactive with a concussion.

Two Oakland icons are in the middle of a legal dispute. One has the name Raiders. The other has the name Nation’s Giant Hamburgers.
Many of you know that “Raider Nation” is also a phrase around these parts, and apparently the Raiders doesn’t want Nations to use it. Nations, although not as infamous as a football team, is among the top tier of burger joints (Think In-AND-Out, but in a diner setting).
The problem started with the debut of a billboard near the Coliseum that shows a cheeseburger and reads, “When Hunger Hits Raid a Nation’s.”
Clever right? A bit too clever, according to the Raiders.
The team claims the billboard implies that Nation’s has a partnership with the football franchise and they do not. They call the billboard “ambush” advertising.

Another thing, why do respond to me with a smart alek post? I have never called you names like “Krappy Kell”
or accused you of wearing diapers, or criticised your business or wife or ANYTHING and yet whenever you respond to any post of mine it’s always in a smart-alek manner.
I don’t care if 90% of the posters here are “haters”. I just wish they’d own up to it.
I have more respect for a guy like “Charged Up” than those guys cuz at least he doesn’t pretend to be something he’s not. That’s the part that irritates me.

LOS ANGELES — While Los Angeles sports fans celebrate the sale of the Los Angeles Dodgers to a group headlined by Magic Johnson for a record price of $2 billion, several sport economists believe the group paid close to twice as much for the team than it is actually worth and question the viability of the deal.
“It was an extraordinary and surprising price,” said Andrew Zimbalist, a professor of economics at Smith College. “I rarely admit to not anticipating these things but I did not anticipate a $2 billion price. Keep in mind, in addition to the price, the new ownership group will have to invest something in the neighborhood of $300 million to refurbishing Dodger Stadium and that price does not include $150 million for the surrounding real estate. At the end of the day, you have to question this deal.”

You are cool. Even if you disagree with someone you state your position calmly without personal attack.
KK has a problem insofar as most posters here can’t stand him, attack him unmercifully. I think maybe he takes his frustration over those attacks out on others.
Before, under AL D. Davis, I let the AD, certain staff members and players really have it. But now since the organization is turning around I have layed off that.
But, you…..you have always remained the same…..a good contributor to this blog.

Bengals re-signed SLB Manny Lawson.
Lawson will retain his starting job on the strong side, with Thomas Howard at weak-side ‘backer and Rey Maualuga in the middle. Look for the Bengals to dangle Keith Rivers for trade, if they can. Lawson, 28 before the season, started every game last season but was often spelled by Brandon Johnson. Lawson will likely become more of a full-time player in his second year with Mike Zimmer.

Seriously, and this rivalry game is bigger there than any rivalry I can think of in any sport….What Duke/UNC, Mich/Oh St, Bama/Auburn, Yanks/Red Sox all lack is the racial element and undertones behind it.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Authorities say the Kentucky-Louisville basketball rivalry boiled over at a Kentucky dialysis clinic when one patient punched another during an argument about the teams.
Police Lt. Robert Swanigan said the altercation at the Georgetown clinic began Monday with a verbal exchange between Ed Wilson, a 68-year-old Kentucky fan, and Charles Taylor, a 71-year-old Louisville fan.
The men were arguing about who will win when the teams meet Saturday in the Final Four.
“I think this is a first at a dialysis center,” Swanigan told WKYT-TV.
Swanigan says Wilson, who already was hooked up to the dialysis machine, flipped off Taylor, who was waiting his turn.
That’s when Taylor punched Wilson in the face.
“He just happened to think U of L would beat UK and he started to run his mouth,” Wilson told WKYT. “That’s what started it.”
Taylor said he was actually talking about the matchup with someone else.
“He was meddling,” Taylor said. “And told me to shut up and gave me the finger.
“I went up to him and I hit him. Didn’t hit him that hard, but I hit him.”
Swanigan said he thought tensions would rise as Saturday’s game approaches, but the fight at the clinic was stranger than they expected.
Georgetown is about 13 miles north of Lexington, where the University of Kentucky is located.
Wilson declined to file charges, and Georgetown police say the case is closed.

Hahahaha, yea we would! Only ’cause we’re definitely more ruthless than the Donks and greater in numbers. The thing with Louisville is, the majority of Louisville fans reside in Louisville. UK has as many fans in Louisville as Louisville does. Imagine Oakland being a city in Colorado and instead of the Broncos being Denver’s, they were Colorado’s team in name, so half the city of Oakland would still be Bronco fans and half the city (the urban segment and the rest who chose to follow) would be Oakland fans. That’s probably the best way I can explain it…

Give us real un-biased opinions on who would really win between 76 Raiders
- 85 Bears
March 28th, 2012 at 1:33 pm
Hilarious, 580. . .I got into it with a Kentucky fan on the BSPN blog last week for bagging on Pitino. I pointed out there is a connection to UK basketball & the Third Reich. Seems both leaders had the same first name; one a huge racist & the other an antisemite. Also went on to point out Pitino bailed UK out following a coach (Eddie Sutton) that coulda set the program back for years following a litnay of recruiting violations (involving ca&h discovered in an envelope. BTW; Shaun Kemp was recruited by Mr. Sutton. Kemp allegedly stole a gold necklace belonging to Sutton’s son) without his magic touch. . .and much more. . .was as fun as a Raider blog. . .
Hopefully the refs allow the ‘ville to play “D” with their hands like the West Finals. . .

Fa sho, and Pitino will never let ‘em get outworked…that’s one thing that won’t happen, so you can guarantee the effort will be there…they’re consistently one of the most conditioned teams year in year out. Pitino still sticks true to his 8% body fat rule and will not play you unless you make that cut. Thats why Mark Jackson’s son transferred earlier in the year…
Where you from Anti? Didn’t know there was another Ville-fan in here. I just came back from Phoenix this weekend and actually went to the regional final to see ‘em come back on FLA. Was hoping to meet the homie Method2myMadness in there if Mizzu made it that far, but we’re gonna have to link up on another date. But that’s what it is fam…Ville all day. Love ‘em just as much as I love my Raiders (so yes, for those that were wondering; I was a Mike Bush homer, especially since he was born and raised at the crib too..I’m sure ya’ll already knew anyway though..Lol)

Quit hating Pitino man…Lol…Let that man’s personal life be just that…his personal life…as a coach, you gotta love him….you gotta appreciate how he outcoached Izzo and made constant defensive adjustments to come back on BillyD. and the Gators this weekend. We were down 11 with 9 to go and our best two players had 4 fouls with Siva fouling out with 5 min. left! Dude is a week away from being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Plus his coaching tree might be the most impressive coaching tree in any sport (Parcells, Walsh, included) Ride with the Ville! Plus, on a side note; if you bet, they’ll make you boodles.

As far as my blog GM duties, I am a tad concerned about my scouting department.
Young American, as usual, is killing it, providing reports and insight and carrying the staff.
Raider O comes to work everyday, but seems more interested in starting arguments in the break room.

I need the Director of Scouting, Edward Teach, to crack the whip a little here. I got 50 reports from “Scouting” however I believe they are all the work of YA.

There’s a place called Fuku Burger? That sounds like an acronym we’d use her to get away with cussing someone out. Sam Kinnison said years ago that McDonalds could put s**t in a bag, and people would buy it and eat it.

Japaneses influenced cooking with their burgers. Don’t sleep…Fukuburger is the business! Started as a food truck in Vegas; and now there’s spots in LA poppin’ up.

76 Raiders were BATTLE TESTED, DOMINATION APPROVED!!
Who’d da Bears beat Steve Grogan and the Patsie’s?!?
Raiders dominated a SOLID Vikings team with a GREAT DLine and Fran the man Tarkintan and Chuck Foreman, Ahmad Rashad, Sammy White.
Tough to argue the 83 Raiders were a better team that roster was STACKED!
Bottom line, 76 Raiders woulda crushed JimMcMahon and ted Hendricks woulda had a pick 6. Same for Skip.

‘85 Bears would have snapped Gannon’s spine on the first drive. And I like Gannon.
March 28th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
Not sure what the “gameplay itself” means, in all honesty.
Athletes are vastly superior today than before though, and the best athletes are playing hoops and skill positions in the NFL (as before boxing, baseball and even track took some away).
Hell, Rolando McClain is bigger than Lyle Alzado!!!

He has been ballin’ in the tourney…don’t know how he’s kin to JR though! Lol I mean, they definitely look alike, but he has none of the athletic ability and flexibility of his brother. JR will jump out the gym, and I’ve seen Chris get hung a few times! Lol He’ll play D a lot harder than his older brother though, and he’s just as tough. We’ll miss him next year fa sho… He’s already gone on the record talking about how he knows the Ville can beat UK…hasn’t guaranteed it, but you can see it in his eyes from the mini-pressers…he wants this game badly!
March 28th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
And the Bears rap song was better than ours. We didn’t have one player that could spit. Bears had a couple of dudes that could, if I remember.

Amazing though JFB, isn’t it, that there are so many legends and memorable games from the old days, with no internet back then? No 24 hour news? Must have sucked for fans back then. Yet you see any picture of them at games or at bars, and it was all smiles. Weird. No access to the information we have today.

Players get paid so much more today partly because of the 24 hr. media cycle that surrounds sports. More media, more viewers, internet users, more advertising. More $$$ for players. You can not complain about players’ salaries of modern day when you partake in activities which enable their job security.
March 28th, 2012 at 2:37 pm
Sully,
We saw it this year in our last game of the season.
Before, you had to wait to here what the Donkeys were doing from the scoreboard. At that game, you heard random cheers when obviously people were following the game on their phone and the Chiefs scored.
Not even sure football stadiums need scoreboards anymore.
I played and ran a Fantasy Baseball league in HS (late 90’s) and we used to have to wait toupdate the points on Wednesday when Baseball Weekly came out. Man it was hell when a player changed leagues, as you had to manually combine the AL and NL stats, lol.
I am not even sure HS kids these days would know how to do that.

“Indeed, even though the Iraqi people did nothing against the United States, only to see their country destroyed, hundreds of thousands of their people slaughtered, millions displaced in two decades of murderous U.S. wars and sanctions, somehow these people are still seen as the dangerous ones. But of course, if it’s morally justifiable to treat people as subhuman by the millions—a principle necessarily implicit in the U.S. warfare state—what’s one more dead mother count? This is one kind of private violent crime that the state could easily discourage simply by refraining from its killing sprees abroad; the copycat incidents would surely decline.
From the lynchings of German-Americans to the massacre of Al Awada, the worst hate-motivated crimes are inflamed by Washington’s global crusades, and few take notice. Krauts, gooks, ragheads—if they wanted to be treated like human beings, they should have had the good sense to be born Americans.”

With each new comment he makes, Bill Parcells sounds a little more likely to be the head coach of the Saints for the 2012 season.
In yet another interview (for a guy who often expresses contempt for the press, Parcells sure does do a lot of talking when people want to write stories about how he could save a team’s season) on Wednesday, Parcells told Bob Glauber of Newsday that he’s open to taking the job as a favor to his good friend Sean Payton, who is suspended for the 2012 season.
“If this guy says to me, ‘Bill, I need you to do this,’” Parcells said of Payton, “That’s what friends are supposed to be for.”

Part of the Raider way or Raider Mystic is to not judge people by their ascribed qualities (qualities people were born with such as race or gender), but to judge people by their abilities and what is in their heart. Remember the Raiders where the 1st pro-sports team to put African Americans & Latino Americans in positions of leadership on the field as well as the 1st team to put Black Folks, Latinos & Women in position of leadership in the Coaches Office as well as Front Office. The Raiders are also the only team to boycott exhibition games in the early 60 to protest segregation. To make Racist Jokes on the Oakland Raiders blog in the Oakland Tribune (Oakland 1 of the 3 most diverse cities in North America) is disrespecting the memory and spirit of Al Davis as well as the Raider Way!

95. Oakland Raiders: Jonathan Massaquoi, DE/OLB, Troy
Kamerion Wimbley has been released, and Oakland already didn’t have anyone capable of starting on the other side. Personnel is needed for its new 3-4 defense.
129. Oakland Raiders: Matt McCants, OT, UAB
It’s a good thing the Raiders were awarded several compensatory picks because they have a ton of holes – some of which happen to be on the offensive line.
148. Oakland Raiders: Akiem Hicks, NT, Canada
The Raiders will be moving to a 3-4 defense. What they need most is a nose tackle who can stuff the run.
168. Oakland Raiders: Dan Herron, RB, Ohio State
The Raiders need a power complement for Darren McFadden in the wake of Michael Bush’s signing with Chicago
No Sixth rounds picks…

lol. MB thinks Romney stands a chance in November. He thinks Romney’s going to convince Americans that Romneycare is any different from 0bbamacare, and that the wealthiest 1% are the good guys. What’s the news today? Romney talked about how him and his father found it humorous when he shut down a factory? There’s another 100k blue collar voters he turned off. Another day, another Romney gaffe. Love it. That’s your guy, MB.

March 28th, 2012 at 5:19 pm
No MR, it doesn’t, you’re simply jealous.
Again MR defying the laws of physics:
‘Why imagine a place for a body to go into, in addition to its own volume, if that volume, as such, has no physical properties? For if another equal volume were to permeate it, it would make no difference. From all this it is clear that there is no such thing as a self-existing void.’
…..this theory true until MR came into being.
Raider O, your take on Spence???
March 28th, 2012 at 5:19 pm
He didn’t kill him, the military did. He just gave them the ok after they found out were he was. Any president in the right mind makes the call to kill osama.
March 28th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
Lowdown, sorry man, you lost me with that last one.
March 28th, 2012 at 5:22 pm
Twocents thinks that the industrial world started with one independent person laying a brick, walking off, another one laying a brick, walking off, then, suddenly, this entire industrial world is built, just from one person at a time putting down a brick. No central planning. lol.

THey are like the dirty little peasants that fought with Mao…they had nothing to lose because they own nothing.
Only thing that Mao did right was force the buggers to work until they croaked and not let them have socialism for free: Everyone worked.
I’d pay, because I can, to see MR forced to work instead of supping off the govt. teet for free.

Bush had 8 years to find Bin Ladin, couldn’t do it. Didn’t take the current president much time at all. And when he found him, he ordered troops to peel his cap. Still, his haters call him “Osama”. It’s like referring to a lion as a hyena. Really doesn’t make since.

Another MB fail.
Video released today showing Zimmerman shortly after the murder, revealing he had no blood on him. Tell us more about this “evidence” that’s going to surface and vindicate Zimmerman, MB. The opposite seems to be happening. More evidence is coming out that will send him to the pokey where he belongs. And now he’s looking at perjury, for score. The Sanford PD may be looking at charges, too, since they too claimed Zimmerman was bleeding. Remember, this is in the hands of the DOJ now, the feds. It’s going to get ugly. All the Sanford PD had to do was just be honest, and do their jobs. Doesn’t make any sense why they’d cover up for this scumbag.

5- DE: Cordarro Law (steal of the draft IMO)
5- CB: Croyell Judie Texas A&M, Asa Jackson, or Chris Greenwood
6- RB: Terrence Ganaway or FS Janzen Jackson
$$$$$$$$$$$
Where is YA?
I think I did a great job
- Sean Spence can start at WLB.
- Chapman can be part of a 4 player rotation at DT. Seymour, TK, Houston, and Chapman.
- Cordarro Law is my sleeper pick that will replace Wimbley as an OLB in 3-4, or nickel pass rusher in 4-3.

Dirt Lot,
I think if you break it down position by position, ‘83 has to be the best. I know Marcus Allen isn’t a favorite in some circles, but having that talent at tail back sets the ‘83 team apart from other Raider teams. Ronald Reagan jokingly called Marcus Allen a nuclear threat while speaking to him via phone after Super Bowl 18. This was during Soviet tensions. The world heard that. On that day, Marcus Allen was America’s athletic export to the world. Marcus took the Raiders to another level, love him or hate him. Plunkett has said numerous times he’s still in awe of the talent he was surrounded with on the ‘83 team.
March 28th, 2012 at 6:52 pm
Zimmerman should come to communities out here, Sac and Alameda, form neighborhood watch groups, clean the scum off the streets,…start with the first 60something loser with no legitimate job wandering parking lots of Safeways, wearing a hoodie…your safe though MaddenRaider, you dont own a hoodie and you for sure would get behind your mother at the first possibility of danger. God bless Zimmerman.
March 28th, 2012 at 6:52 pm
PD81,
I’m hoping they drop due to their size. They are very talented, but they lack NFL size.
Btw, I will keep in working on it till I optimize evey pick. Still working in it. I may move OLBs to the 3rd round, and NT to 4th or 5th.

I don’t think the Iraqi woman was going to hurt anyone. We have a president now that sent a clear message to Al Qaeda. He killed Bin Laden, for starters. It was Bush’s watch when we had to worry about those things, particularly on September 11, 2001.
March 28th, 2012 at 7:00 pm
Iraqi Woman’s husbands works for our military. I hope what happened to her happens to you.

Dirt Lot,
I think if you break it down position by position, ‘83 has to be the best. I know Marcus Allen isn’t a favorite in some circles, but having that talent at tail back sets the ‘83 team apart from other Raider teams. Ronald Reagan jokingly called Marcus Allen a nuclear threat while speaking to him via phone after Super Bowl 18. This was during Soviet tensions. The world heard that. On that day, Marcus Allen was America’s athletic export to the world. Marcus took the Raiders to another level, love him or hate him. Plunkett has said numerous times he’s still in awe of the talent he was surrounded with on the ‘83 team.

She took my Chevy and my heart
Oh dear Jesus, why do we have to part

No one cares about the Iraqi woman, so the media is not interested in her story. Race is a more interesting topic, and it will get the attention the media desires for selling air time.
March 28th, 2012 at 7:44 pm
Not true, O. A lot of Americans are getting fed up with over-vigilant, hot head neighborhood watch types. There’s a lot of people out there who think their personal property is more valuable than their neighbors’ freedom and privacy, and therefore think it’s ok to accost and even attack a neighbor for merely looking suspicious. As far as racism goes, I think that cat got out of the bag when the audio of Zimmerman’s police call reveals him to call Martin a “coon”.
March 28th, 2012 at 7:45 pm

March 28th, 2012 at 8:18 pm

March 28th, 2012 at 8:20 pm
Lennon Creer is going to be a starter somewhere also…
March 28th, 2012 at 8:20 pm

Burris*
Not familiar with Creer. I’m looking at his numbers
March 28th, 2012 at 8:23 pm
I’m not sold in that dude. 220 and ran a 4.7+. He also doesn’t have great college production.
March 28th, 2012 at 8:24 pm
Yea Im not a 100% sure what were going to run this year as in if were stayin 4-3 or 3-4 but he’s super talented and I would love him on our team…

March 28th, 2012 at 8:32 pm
Got my 40 from Walter but NFL Draft Scout says 4.66
Here’s some more info I havent looked to much into him I guess he has had some Injuries
A quick, smooth athlete with the footwork to make sharp cuts and redirect his momentum in a flash. Shows good vision and patience with natural running instincts. Has good straight-line speed with quick acceleration and a second gear downfield. Has a good-sized frame to add some bulk and get stronger. Has reliable hands out of the backfield with a combined 43 receptions the past two years. Shows very good effort in pass protection, giving up his body and taking on blocks. Has some experience as a return man on kickoffs

March 28th, 2012 at 8:44 pm
PD81,
Maybe we are looking at different backs. I’m looking for a big guy who can punish a defense, since we already have DMAC & Jones. I think you are looking for an every down Back.
March 28th, 2012 at 8:46 pm
I think Turbin will be a starter in the NFL.
March 28th, 2012 at 8:47 pm
You are right. They are very slow, and they don’t update the 40 times after the combine on the players’ page.
March 28th, 2012 at 8:49 pm
I’m looking for someone who can play…I love DMC alot but I dont know if he can stay healthy and Taiwan has alot to prove I dont know if he can stay healthy and I want a guy who is capable of being an Every Down Back but can also handle those tough yards for a 6th round back I think Creer can do it…
March 28th, 2012 at 8:49 pm
Whats up nation long time no post…anyways, I feel like this will be a great draft for us regardless of not getting high draft picks. I feel we’ll get some valuable players at the d-line and LB position.Usually we’ll draft speed in these rounds, but not this time. We’ll get some real fundamentally strong FOOTBALL players. Don’t know who, just a feeling.
March 28th, 2012 at 8:51 pm
I like Turbin alot and he’s defintley on my list but I dont if we can get him with a 6th

I don’t think T Ganaway is an every-down back, so it depends on what the coaches want. Your idea makes more sense. Have a big back who is capable of being an ever-down back, but it’s hard to find these guys in later rounds or after the draft.

The thing about Creer is he was a Tennessee back (before transferring) and they have this weird way of becoming real good pros despite not being all that great in college.
Jamal Lewis and Arian Foster are good examples.
March 28th, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Turbin will be gone before the end of the 4th round IMO. He is a top 10 RB prospect IMO. I think we should draft him, if he was salable in the 5th round.
March 28th, 2012 at 9:07 pm
This blog must quit using Jer and Steves good Raider info for some kind of political platform and agenda. Politics? Really? B F D!
This blog is designed for Raider chat. Keep it that way, instead of using it for some kind of hating or baiting. A tad bit of purse swinging is OK, but really, politics? Politics on a Raider blog? A real and true Raider fan doesn’t care about politics when on this blog. If you want political noise, go turn up cnn or fox or npr. But here, puhleeze.
Or better yet, go run for a city councel position. But keep this blog Raiders, OK? Can you do that? Show some courtesy to Steve nad Jer, and the good folks behind the scenes, and to Reggie and Mark and Allen and Amy. They use to read this blog til the air got to thick. But they’ll be back if we can keep that nonesense at bay.
If you want the news, go read a newspaper, If you want Raider football, well, Steve and Jer set this up for Raider football. Show some respect.

Raiders checking into nose tackle
By Steve Corkran
Tuesday, March 27th, 2012 at 3:34 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Alabama nose tackle Josh Chapman is scheduled to meet with the Raiders in a pre-draft visit, according to Scout.com.
The interest makes sense, given coach Dennis Allen’s stated intent to be “multiple” on defense. Playing some or all of a 3-4 scheme would require a stout defender in the middle of the line.
That’s where a player of Chapman’s talents come into play. He is 6-feet-1 and 316 pounds and well versed in the 3-4. We also know he’s plenty tough, as evidenced by his playing the final half of last season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Travis Ivey is the only other true nose tackle on Oakland’s roster. Ivey was signed late in the season to the Raiders practice squad.
“We haven’t decided any of that yet,” Allen said Monday, when asked about the 4-3 vs. the 3-4 next season. “We’re still going through the process of acquiring talent, looking into who we’re going to have on the team next year. Once we get through the draft, we’ll have a better feel what we want to do there.”
Several other teams reportedly are meeting with Chapman. He is regarded as the third-best nose tackle in the upcoming draft and should last into the third round, where the Raiders are scheduled to make their first pick.
The book on Chapman is, he shines against the run and isn’t much of a pass-rusher. Regardless, the Raiders need someone of his build and talent if they intend to play the 3-4.

Since you guys are fine with us discussing politics here is an excerpt from todays Supreme Court hearing:
Justice Antonin Scalia: Mr. Kneedler, what happened to the Eighth Amendment? You really want us to go through these 2,700 pages? And do you really expect the court to do that? Or do you expect us to give this function to our law clerks? Is this not totally unrealistic? That we’re going to go through this enormous bill item by item and decide each one?
=======================================
Yes, Justice Scalia I do expect you to actually look at the law you are supposedly adjudicating. Is that too much to ask since that is your job?

In fairness, political or any other discussion is inevitable when there’s not much really going on in an offseason like this.
I think alot of guys can only talk so much about the merits of a Pat Lee on our special teams or how Shawntae Spencer is gonna handle his role as a backup corner.
March 28th, 2012 at 9:36 pm
Need some help please. It is possible for a 2000 Ford Windstar to spontaneously combust? How would the engine area catch on fire, a really bad fire?
Saw one at BART South Hayward tonight.
March 28th, 2012 at 9:39 pm
Doesn’t surprise me that Parcells and Payton are good friends. They deserve each other. They’re both diks.
March 28th, 2012 at 9:42 pm
Anything is possible with Ford.

^^^^^^^^^^
This kid is one of the players I like also that I listed in my mini Raider Mock the last couple of days, but as our 4th Round pick.
Wouldn’t be surprised if his stock starts to go up as the draft gets closer though.
Would love to see Raiders go with DT/DE Derek Wolfe or NT Josh Chapman as our 3rd Round pick and than come back at the end of the 4th and snatch OLB Massaquoi.
March 28th, 2012 at 9:47 pm
Scouts feel Massaquio would be better suited as a stand up OLB who rush passer, cog running lanes and set the edge and then possibly be a down DE nickel rusher.
Just needs to be coached up on consistent back pedal and coverage. He is most certainly not a full time down DE and if teams put him down, he needs to be on the LDE side.

======================================
The 2000 Ford Windstar is a piece of crap. Not only COULD it catch fire spontaneously, any one buying one should EXPECT it to break down at the worst possible time, and THEN catch fire.

DJ Jonny,
Sean Payton is a Parcells protege. He was Bill’s assistant HC in Dallas.
March 28th, 2012 at 10:17 pm
Yeah, I don’t disrespect Paytons or Parcells abilities or accomplishments, but both have a smugness about them that I find very distasteful.
A reporter couldn’t even give Parcells a compliment without Parcells getting irritated.
Kind of a Bob Knight type.
March 28th, 2012 at 10:18 pm
“Yes, Justice Scalia I do expect you to actually look at the law you are supposedly adjudicating. Is that too much to ask since that is your job?”
No, not over 2,000 pages. And he’s right: it’s not his job. He’s read the briefs and there are hundreds of them that have been submitted.
BTW, true story: I asked my Congressman, a democrat, if he had read it. He was, at least, honest, and he explained to me that so many differing committees wrote different pieces that none of them knew what was in the other pieces. Some teams were put together to do nothing but refer the reader to other sections for definitions: “The X is defined as (see section 27, part 5, part 8, subcategory 2b)”….person flips 250 pages ahead to that section and then finds, “X is defined as “blah, blah, blah with the exception of (see section 90, part 8h, subcategory 4i, subsection 2)” and on and on.
A mess. He said no one had actually read it, no matter what he or she said. He said the most any elected official had done is skim what he or she was told were major parts.
Hope the whole damn thing is overturned.

=========================================
With many issues facing the court, yes, I can understand him just reading a clerks brief. But with such landmark legislation, you would think he would want to know what he is ruling on. He doesn’t. And when I say, he doesn’t, Scalia doesn’t know what the law says, and yet somehow has made up his mind. Scalia should obviously resign.
March 28th, 2012 at 10:25 pm
No doubt this right wing kangaroo court is going to side with the health insurers, just as they robbed Florida of thousands of votes in the 2000 election. Hopefully in the president’s second term, a couple of these supreme court seats open up, so we can someday return to having a high court that isn’t controlled by the wealthiest citizens.
March 28th, 2012 at 10:32 pm
Can’t really speak for Payton, but I think Parcells is just old school. And I don’t think the comparison to Knight is fair. Knight is just outright hostile. Parcells never threw a chair at a player, choked a fan, etc. Knight should have spent a few weeks in jail for some of the things he’s done. There’s no bigger example of a coach abusing their king’s throne than Bobby Knight. He’s the worst of our time. And I think Parcells is underrated, too. Bill Walsh gets credited for being the architect of everything football today, when the truth is more teams with Parcells proteges have won Super Bowls in recent years than Walsh.
March 28th, 2012 at 10:37 pm
Nigel Bradham, OLB, Florida State
Bradham racked up 86 tackles this past season to lead the Seminoles for the third consecutive year; he became the first Seminole to accomplish the feat since consensus All-American Marvin Jones (1990-92).
was projected 3rd rd pick but had good senior bowl and pro day so may not be available
March 28th, 2012 at 10:38 pm
At the time Bobby Knight retired he hadn’t won a national championship in 21 years. He was overrated.
March 28th, 2012 at 10:39 pm
Therefore Knight’s style was overrated, too.
March 28th, 2012 at 10:57 pm
Yeah Knight didn’t win any NC’s for the last 21 yrs. was it? He did do a nice job with Texas Tech by getting ‘em to the sweet 16 that one year, then totally dropped off the next and quit mid-season.
He might be overrated a bit but he is one of the greatest coaches of all time as far as wins are concerned; longevity helps obviously.
I’ve never liked Parcells as far as his personality, but I wouldn’t have minded him coaching the Raiders, but i don’t think a strong personality like his would’ve worked with Al.
I say that, but I never thought he would’ve put up with Jerry Jones stalking him on the sideline either.
March 28th, 2012 at 11:16 pm
BTW, to whoever brought it up,
Both the Miami Herald and the Miami Post conducted a recount that took months after Bush v. Gore was decided, and it was determined that Bush won Fla. by a few thousand votes. At the time I was quite unhappy about that, but it’s true.
Since then, it doesn’t bother me. Gore’s a real ass.
March 28th, 2012 at 11:23 pm
Still doesn’t excuse the kangaroo court’s decision, shutdown. I trust the election officers to count the votes far more than I do a couple of newspapers.
March 28th, 2012 at 11:25 pm
In Dallas I’m pretty sure Parcells had a contract that guaranteed him substantial control. He wouldn’t have got that in Oakland. Jones is a meddler but coaching for the Cowboys was not the same experience as coaching for Al Davis’s Raiders.
March 28th, 2012 at 11:28 pm
Gore’s a real ass. Ha ha. Yeah. Bush is not only a real ass, he turned out to be the worst president in the history of the industrialized United States. Give me a break! Anyone who’s glad Bush became president instead of Al Gore, at THIS point, after what we know now, is either a full blown right winger totally loyal to the Republican party, or needs their head examined.

Sorry man, but Gore won in FL. by several thousand votes. I am not sure where you got your information. Then of course Scalia, Thomas and crew handed Bush the Presidency.
All I can say is, if you think Bush was an exemplary President, then you should join the Neo-Con movement, subscribe to corporate socialism, throw in your lot with big oil, and kiss your Constitutional guarantees goodbye.

BTW, I read the entire summation of the “Affordable Health Care Act”, some 100 + pages posted on the U.S. Congressional website.
I did not read the entire bill in total.
If forcing Americans to purchase health insurance by virtue of the commerce clause is unconstitutional, it is reasonable that Americans who have purchased health insurance, cannot be forced to pay for the health care of the uninsured due to cost shifting by insurance companies and care providers. Such cost shifting is also a violation of the commerce clause.
The current situation is bad for business nationwide, and has a chilling effect on commerce; it should be unconstitutional also.
March 29th, 2012 at 2:35 am

About the draft and DTs, how is it a trend, if it only happened once before?
March 29th, 2012 at 7:33 am
O Mock Draft 1.0:
3- DT/ NT: Josh Chapman or Brandon Thompson
4- OLB: Sean Spence, Mycal Kendricks, or Danny Trevathan
5- DE: Cordarro Law (steal of the draft IMO)
5- CB: Croyell Judie Texas A&M, Asa Jackson, or Chris Greenwood
6- RB: Terrence Ganaway or FS Janzen Jackson
March 29th, 2012 at 7:38 am
O, we doing mock drafts already?
Not bad for your 1.0!
March 29th, 2012 at 7:39 am
Is it possible for Spence and Kindricks to drop to the 4th round? I think so. They are short in NFL standards. Under 6′.

March 29th, 2012 at 7:54 am
With that explanation, your telling me a “current trend” is an oxymoron.
Because of the “current trends” in the NFL, expect to see a bunch of DB’s , WR’s, and Pass-Rushers, drafted in the first round, to pair with the QB’s taking at the top of the draft.
March 29th, 2012 at 7:55 am

Raiders had both sides of the ball working. Ravens got lucky with a good D. Its a no brainer. ‘76 Raiders.
March 29th, 2012 at 8:23 am

He is a big back. 6′, 240, and had good production at Baylor. The problem is his slow 40, and his production is suspect because he was playing with RG and that offense.

I don’t believe that those two conditions are mutually exclusive.
Anyone that dogmatically follows either of the two mega-polarized parties in this country has long since stopped asking questions and is now just as blindly in allegiance as any sports fanatic is. It’s become so much less about what the parties stand for, and all about winning these days, just for the sake of winning.

I’m all in on trading Bynum for Howard this offseason.
Howard’s defense and rebounding is a better fit than Bynum’s offense. Seems like all Bynum is interested in is scoring.
No bueno!!!

The NFL Darwin…
With the evolution of pro-football rules to turn into a passing game this is how the different species are evolving…
QB: Top of the food chain, king of the jungle and the salary cap…
WR: evolving from a weak species into a very important one
CBs: Gonna invade the green pastures, more and more of them on the field
DEs: the QB killas, hard to find and expensive
OTs: monsters if they can handle the edge on their own…
OGs & Centers: not as importants as they used to be
DTs: Pass rushers get paid, run stuffers play less and less
LBs: Forgotten species, near bottom of the food chain
RBs: Like insects, easy to find, and very bottom of food chain
March 29th, 2012 at 8:58 am
is richard marshall still available?
March 29th, 2012 at 8:59 am
O,
Skip is right about Tebow being used wrong. You have to put him in the shotgun spread. You know he can’t play under center at all.
Which leads me to Pryor …..
I think it would be the same thing for him, right? We’d need to have him in a shotgun spread offense for him to be most effective, right?

I want us to run the spread offense from the shotgun with Palmer. Same thing Brady and Rogers are doing.
So why would I want to see Pryor under C?
$$$$$$$$$$$
I’m just trying to answer your question. I didn’t know you you prefer the spread offense over a traditional one.

March 29th, 2012 at 10:07 am
Ok, O.
So you say he looked more comfortable in the shotgun.
Do you think he would be successful in a hand it off to DMac-play action fake type offense?
March 29th, 2012 at 10:11 am
I think Reggie is done signing FAs till he free some more cap space.
I also think we will trade/ cut TK.
If Bryant plays LDE, then Houston will go back to his natural position playing UT. Bryant is also part of the rotation at DT in passing situations, so do we need to add a NT and keep TK?
I don’t think so.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:16 am
Yeah i wish they would do some sort of spread o. Heavy 4 wide sets. They do have dhb, ford, murphy, and moore. All that speed. Even run dmac out in a wr formation with a 5 wide set would nice. Its not going to happen with knapp= run run run and not creative.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:16 am
He was able to do that in college. Like I said he played under C, but doing it in the in the NFL is different.
My opinion on TP is that he is as good of a prospect as Cam and every QB drafted in the 1st round last year, but it’s hard to predict what they are able to do in the NFL.
I like Cam a lot, but I couldn’t imagine him having that much success.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:18 am
I think you are going to see things you’ve never thought of before.
I think you’ll see our DL guys lined up in certain spots to attack the guards, or the spots they vacate if they try and pull.
Chess players on defense now, O.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:22 am
Bryant, Seymour, TK, and Houston are very similar. They can play LDE and DT in 4-3, and they can play End in 3-4. If we keep all 4 and add a NT, then some players are not going to get enough snaps. Since TK and Seymour are paid well, it will be Bryant and Houston, and I prefer giving them more snaps.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:26 am
I want to play a 5-2-4 defense.
LDE: Shaughnessy
DT: Seymour
DT: Houston
DT: Bryant
RDE: Brodine/ nickel pass rusher
March 29th, 2012 at 10:26 am

March 29th, 2012 at 10:28 am
Our offense can show so many different looks, this whole “knapp offense” things … well, you’re just not going to see that.
You’re going to see DMac, Reece, and Ausberry on the field at the same time. And they will be throwing with that combination on the field just as much, if not more than running it.
You’re going to see DHB, Ford, D Moore, and Ausberry on the field with DMac.
These guys are smart enough to understand that the league is set up to throw.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:29 am
So the FaireyNiners signed Brandon Jacobs, do you think if they cut Anthony Dixon he would be a good pickup? I know Eric Davis is very high on the guy.
Wouldn’t mind seeing a trade for Anthony Dixon and the Larry Grant (LB, 7th round tender) for either our 5th/6th round pick?

J,
Who said anything about stopping the run?
I want a guy like Wimbley to play that RDE position. 5 man rush, 4 man rush and RDE covers, or 3 man rush and drop 2.
And it can be an asset against the run.
I like it.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:35 am

DA better have a fahqin dam good scheme in the making.

What happened to Goudelock?

March 29th, 2012 at 10:48 am
Some may ask, then why not just run a 3-4 defense?
Answer:
1- 5-2 doesn’t need a NT that comes off the field in passing situations
2- can continue to play 4-3 and Nickel, and pressure the QB with 4 guys like the Giants.
3- it can be an asset against the run too
4- I don’t like 3-4 defense, and I think it’s a liability against the pass (if you have a good passing offense).
March 29th, 2012 at 10:48 am
The Raiders are going to be so much more creative at the line of scrimmage and pre-snap with this new staff, we won’t even know what we are watching it will be so foreign.

March 29th, 2012 at 10:59 am
Considered by scouting experts to be one of the nation’s best blitzing linebackers, Philip Wheeler is extremely difficult to knock off his feet.
He was originally recruited as a defensive end, moving to outside linebacker with the Yellow Jackets before shifting inside as a junior.
Despite his erratic play as a senior, he received glowing praise from former head coach Chan Gailey. “Philip has really come a long way since having his hand on the ground (as a defensive end) as a high school senior,” said coach Chan Gailey. “You didn’t know if he could play ‘up’ or not. But he has developed into a great linebacker. He had his hand on the ground every snap in high school as a defensive end. You could see his talent, but you didn’t know if he could develop into the player he has developed into today.”
Philip Wheeler will not be the biggest or strongest linebacker of this class. In fact, it is his undersized 6-2, 238 pound frame that will knock him down the draft a little ways. However, despite those concerns, Wheeler could go in the second round thanks to his great athleticism. Wheeler is a solid cover man for a linebacker and will be able to match up well with most backs and tight ends in the league. Ideally, the Columbus, Georgia native will play in a ‘cover two’ defense where his skills could be best utilized. Despite being a little undersized at 6-2, Wheeler is a strong player who can shed blocks and stuff the run with seeming ease. Wheeler led Georgia Tech as a senior with 88 tackles and added 5.5 sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss and he will use that nice combination of strength and speed to put up some decent numbers in the NFL too. His versatility will get him a long look from a few teams and he could be a steal for the right team in the third round. With a good showing at the combine, it may take a second round selection to get Wheeler. 2/28 Update: Philip Wheeler had one of the better overall combines of any linebacker. The numbers across the board were solid and Wheeler should reap the benefits. His strength and speed did not blow anybody away, but his combination of skills and quick feet will get the scouts’ attention. 3/21 Update: Philip Wheeler improved his overall numbers a bit during his Pro Day compared to the combine. Speed will not be his greatest asset, but Wheeler did prove that he is a solid athlete with decent strength. The linebacker is slowly working his way into a late second round selection, but that has little to do with his numbers off the field. Wheeler’s best asset was his production at Georgia Tech and since he did nothing at the combine or Pro Day to make scouts shy away from him, Wheeler should be a late first day pick. 4/11 Update: The buzz around Philip Wheeler is diminishing a little bit as other linebackers slowly climb up the draft boards. Still, Wheeler is a versatile linebacker who should immediately be able to fill in off the bench at both inside and outside linebacker positions in the right defense. A third round selection is the most likely at this point, but some team may remember his performance at Georgia Tech’s Pro Day and feel they need to use a second round pick on Wheeler in order to secure his services.

Wheeler, was rated by ProFootballFocus.com as the 12th best 4-3 outside linebacker in the NFL last year. His run stopping grade (+8.9) was 13th best among his peers, and he held his opponents to a 78.7 pass rating, which is 8th best last season.
