Raiders trade Campbell for veteran running back
By Steve Corkran
Friday, March 30th, 2012 at 12:41 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Former Carolina Panthers running back Mike Goodson just Tweeted that he has been traded to the Raiders. One report said the Raiders traded offensive lineman Bruce Campbell in exchange for Goodson.
The Panthers just confirmed the deal. A Raiders official said via text that the deal is official.
“We wanted to acquire another player to compete at the running back position,” Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said in a press release. “He can do a lot of things in our scheme on offense. He’s very versatile, he has natural running skills, he’s a great receiver out of the backfield, and he has kick-return ability. I’m anxious to see if he can put all that together here as a Raider.”
Goodson, 6-feet and 212 pounds, entered the NFL as a fourth-round draft pick of the Panthers out of Texas A&M. He rushed for 501 yards on 125 carries the past three seasons as a seldom-used backup. He also caught 43 passes for 329 yards and averaged 21.7 yards on kick returns.
He is in the final season of his original contract, which calls for him to earn $615,000 this season. If the deal occurred, as Goodson said, Goodson is expected to compete with Taiwan Jones, Lonyae Miller and Rashawn Jackson for the backup spot to starter Darren McFadden.
That spot came open when Michael Bush bolted in free agency for a contract with the Chicago Bears.
Goodson started only three of the 28 games he played in the past three seasons. He played in only four games last season and finished the year on injured-reserve.
Campbell was a fourth-round pick of the Raiders in the 2010 NFL draft. They had high hopes for him as a potential fixture on their offensive line.
However, Campbell failed to materialize into a dependable player and played only sparingly both seasons. He appeared in 14 of 32 games the past two seasons, with no starts.
In other news, Adam Caplan reported that East Carolina offensive tackle Stephen Baker is scheduled for a pre-draft visit with the Raiders in April.

Sammy Brown ILB for the University of Houston to visit Raiders in April.
Brown led the nation in tackles for loss with 28 last season.
The All-Conference USA first-team selection also had 12 1/2 sacks last season.
The 6-foot-2, 243-pounder has 4.63 speed in the 40-yard dash and has a 37-inch vertical leap and bench pressed 225 pounds 20 times and also registered a 10-3 broad jump.
Brown has drawn middle-round grades.

BCZ is right.
Goodson has fumbled 7 times (losing 4 of them) in his 125 carries …
yikes!

3 TD’s in his first 3 NFL seasons..
I stand corrected
Goodson = #3RB (if he beats out Miller)

**********************
Slight disagreement here – I thought he was a really raw but had some talent but with Barksdale on the team and Barnes he was expendable to get a #2 RB for 615k! The trade probably even helped the Cap situation LOL.
March 30th, 2012 at 12:55 pm
Low-risk signing. Basically swapped two guys who might not have made it out of training camp with their original teams anyway.
Goodson gives the Raiders insurance for DMac and Jones. The Raiders’ offense stalled last season when Michael Bush was the only healthy back. Limited their playbook because Bush does not excel at off-tackle or perimeter runs.

Great Bruce Campbell story for you.
In the Buffalo game, we got to the goalline and inserted him as our extra TE on the left side. Thankfully we ran it to the right side to Bush who scored.
Why do I say thankfully? Beacuse ol’ Beast Campbell didn’t even get out of his stance. Yup, they put him in for one play, didn’t know the snap count, the end ran right around him, and thankfully he didn’t ruin it.
He played about 3 more snaps all year.

Anyone know about this Baker kid?
==================
Somebody who may get his shot sooner than later is Baker, even though it took him nearly four years to get his chance to prove he can play at East Carolina.
Baker has perfect dimensions for an NFL tackle as he stands a legit 6-feet, seven-inches tall and weighs in at roughly 310 pounds. Baker, a Northern Nash product, failed to wow former head coach Skip Holtz as well as current skipper Ruffin McNeill in practice over the years, but when injuries paved the way for him to get on the field this he made the most of his opportunity.
As for not being able to step up and win a starting job earlier in his career, Baker put the onus of that on his big shoulders.
“It’s all on me. It was mental, in my head. I wasn’t approaching it with the right mindset and that really hurt me,” Baker said.
March 30th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
But he did have some nice pancakes last preseason.

He also had 3 penalties in one quarter in 2010 against the Seahawks 5th string D-line.

March 30th, 2012 at 1:23 pm
Goodson is better for this team than Bush. Bush had a few monster games that gave him the hype, but also had many terrible 2-yards-per-carry 20 carry starts that showed his lack of explosion and how easily he breaks down over a short period (he started only 10 games, and was terrible during the final 4).
Goodson can play special teams (Bush can’t), he has better hands (by FAR), and is a better pass blocker.

He’s a better pass-catcher and blocker than Bush. That’s what I said. Didn’t say he was great at it.

I’ll tell you what, Mike Mamula will never shake the bust label, and I get it, based on his draft status, but 2 things:
1. Its not his fault Philly overdrafted him. All he did was put on a superb workout, like he was supposed to.
2. It wasnt like he couldnt play. Compare his production to say, Vernon Gholston, and youll see what I mean. Mamula wasnt all pro, but the production he put up in his few seasons woulda made him one of the best players on our defense the last few years. I know he at least got anywhere from 5 to 8 sacks each of his years.

Update: I just caught up with Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. He thinks Goodson has a chance to have a solid role in Oakland.
“He has a lot of ability,” Williamson said. “I have no idea why he got in the doghouse in Carolina, but I see him as an excellent change of pace for McFadden and insurance for Jones. I like it, but he has fumble issues.”
UPDATE II: McKenzie issued this statement on the trade: “We wanted to acquire another player to compete at the running back position. He can do a lot of things in our scheme on offense. He’s very versatile, he has natural running skills, he’s a great receiver out of the backfield and he has kick-return ability. I’m anxious to see if he can put all that together here as aRaider.”

Good trade, fills a need. Wish we knew what we were giving away but Campbell never developed (or was developed) and would have spent this year sitting on the bench.
March 30th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
This trade cant be worse i.e. Campbell was a piece of junk who didn’t see the field last year. I guess with our five picks it’ll be all Def and maybe if we can get a stud center.
March 30th, 2012 at 2:32 pm
I like the fact that Goodson has catching abiities; he caught 40 balls in 2010. Plus he is quicker and more agile than Bush.
The critical issue is that DMAC is going down (out for the season), probably by mid-season this year. We need backup to keep our running game on track.
Bruce Campbell was an AD project, and ultimately not an exciting prospect, so he had to go.

Terelle Owens and Raiders working?!?!?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Oakland Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey tweeted a picture Tuesday of three teammates (including quarterback Carson Palmer) and a fifth man, in what appeared to be in a workout setting.
The man?
Terrell Owens.
Yep, the 38-year-old receiver who has fallen off the radar of NFL teams. Does the group photo mean Owens is on the way to signing with the Raiders?
Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves here. Owens and Palmer played together in the past and are friends. It might have been just a matter of Owens being in Los Angeles and getting together with the group.
Plus, players don’t make personnel decisions in the world of Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie. He has other things to worry about other than signing Owens. And the Raiders have a crowded receiving group. If Owens signs with the Raiders, I would think it would be down the road.
My guess is that Heyward-Bey is sitting back and smiling, knowing his tweet caused a slight ruckus.

Just when I had cut Reggie some slack based on Steve’s chat the other day where he unequivocally stated that canning Hue was Mark’s idea and not Reggie’s, Reggie goes and trades the Beast for a guy who isn’t even as good as Lonyae Miller, our current No. 3 back.
Gotta say, I’m really disappointed by this. Bruce Campbell never had much of a shot but I liked what I saw in his brief preseason work and we all know he had tremendous potential. Why not give him another camp and preseason to see where he’s at? Goodson is a JAG. A JAG who fumbles something ridiculous like 1 in every 20 touches.
This move makes no sense to me.
March 30th, 2012 at 2:42 pm
Bruce Campbell for a 2008 Heisman candidate/hopeful? I would say that we got the better of the two.
Campbell was drafted in hopes that he would stick , but more along the lines of getting a better/closer look at upside. Well, he has been here quite a while with no PT.
We get a former Heisman hopeful with low miles and that will see the field for sure. Not a replacement for Bush, more like insurance for DMC, IMO.
Starts my weekend off right.
Plus, we see that Reggie is working underground and can fire a shot at any moment. Noone saw this coming.
All Raiders in attention!

March 30th, 2012 at 2:53 pm
Nice move. Solves several problems. Gets more depth in the backfield from a non-rook that has some NFL games under his belt, does good things for the cap, and B Campbell is easily replaced — now all that we need Pryor to do is put on another 65 lbs on his 6′5″ frame and fill the role of freakish athlete on the OL.
March 30th, 2012 at 2:54 pm
Duck,
Campbell has only been here two seasons. His rookie season he wasn’t chosen as a starter. Few 4th round o-linemen start as rooks. Last year he was hurt in camp and thus never had a real chance to compete. With the lack of physical practices once the season starts I don’t see how an olineman can win a job. At that point it’s only about the starter losing the job or getting hurt.
Bottom line: It’s not like Campbell was here 6 or 7 years. He was here 2 seasons and never had a real legit shot to earn time in either one.

More on this story at ten.
March 30th, 2012 at 2:59 pm
Bruce Campbell didn’t play a single snap that made anyone, from any of the three coaching staffs he’s worked with, think he’s a legitimate NFL player. Moreover, the game tape on this kid was AWFUL coming out of college. Waist-bender who leaves his feet and reaches for blocks. Relies on his strength and constantly fails to get leverage. No technique whatsoever.
If you watched this guy and thought “this guy has potential!” I don’t know what you were watching. Classic workout warrior with zero football IQ. Personally, I’m just glad the pre-draft rumors were wrong about Al wanting this guy in the first round.
At least Goodson has contributed on the field. Fumbling is a problem that can be solved. Moreover, he’s insurance for the oft-injured duo of DMac and Jones – which means the Raiders don’t have to cut out large chunks of their playbook because all of a sudden they don’t have a guy who can do off-tackle or perimeter runs.
March 30th, 2012 at 2:59 pm
Bottom line: It’s not like Campbell was here 6 or 7 years. He was here 2 seasons and never had a real legit shot to earn time in either one.

Bottom line we traded a sliver of potential for real production. Goodson WILL be productive for us, but rushing and receiving AND as a KR AND on special teams.
March 30th, 2012 at 3:00 pm
I realize everyone wants to be optimistic and thinks Reggie is King Midas right now, which is fine. I know that if Reg Mac traded McFadden for a Bubby Brister rookie card 50% + of the board would be in favor. So pardon me if I take the Mike Goodson love with a grain of salt.

Thank you you are correct. Carolina was 2-14 that year. There were a lot of losses. What does jump out tho is the 5+ yards per carry against the Baltimore run defense.

=====================================
Chris what I think most NFL people will say is Al OVER PAID for Bruce Campbell in the draft. Some thought he didn’t warrant being drafted at all based on his college production. Could he be developed? Obviously no one on our staff thought so. Goodson on the other hand played well when he did play, and had no hope of seeing playing time. Makes sense to me.

Seymour, hard to overpay for a guy with a 4th round pick. I know Campbell needed work with his technique. I think he’s one of those guys who is so physically superior he’s able to dominate guys on the high school and college level while not being technically sound. Would have been nice to see if he could’ve been coached up. I saw him dominate some guys in preseason games with less than stellar technique.
The other thing to remember is that at least one other NFL team agrees with me, the Panthers who just traded for BC. So it’s not like I’m off the reservation with my opinion that I’d rather have BC.

March 30th, 2012 at 3:14 pm
I think it’s a good trade. We have a solid special teams player if nothing else.
In emergencies, he looks like he could run the ball occasionally if we handle his fumble problem.
March 30th, 2012 at 3:16 pm
Rather sad that Al desperately wanted to win, throwing money at projects, head cases, and workout warriors, never realizing it was his very antiquated system that brought the franchise low. Even the most brilliant of men ultimately need rescued from their own hubris. But who has the nerve to tell them that the world has passed them by?
March 30th, 2012 at 3:16 pm
If we plugged in OL off the street, why would one think Campbell was never given a shot?
Could it possibly mean he was a liability and staff had zero confidence?
March 30th, 2012 at 3:19 pm
Panthers have 3 stud RBs ahead of Goodson. That’s where good trades are made. Get players that are better than their current status on their team.
Jets FA acquisition of Chaz is a similarly solid deal.

I don’t know, The Bronco’s just traded Tim Tebow for a 4th round pick, and Demeco Ryans just got traded for a 4th rounder, so someone has to feel there is value there.

Seymour, the point is it’s hard to call a player drafted in the 4th round a reach. At that point you’re drafting for backups or taking swings on unpolished prospects with upside, good players with injury concerns, etc. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of a 4th rounder called a reach.
Besides, Goodson was also a 4th round pick. Was he a reach? A bust? Like people are saying about Campbell.
Guys were traded straight up for one another. So obviously the pros are divided on Campbell’s value. Sounds like the Panthers think very highly of him.

===========================================
I agree, but you can certainly get very good players in the 4th round. Mike Bush was a fourth rounder, Tyvon was a fourth rounder, Shaun Phillips and Elvis Dumervill were fourth rounders. The difference to me at least, is we got a guy who came in and played and played well, versus a guy who might not have a lot of hope to see the field at all.
March 30th, 2012 at 3:49 pm
With the switch to the WCO and zone blocking, there is not a great need for a bruiser. Besides, Bush was no Bruiser. He was a 245 lb finesse back that thought he had more Barry Sanders than Jerome Bettis in him. We need slashers and guys that can read developing blocks.

*********************************
Guess we will see in Camp/PreSeason. TJ seems to be built more like a WR than a RB. I think Goodsen has a better balance of speed and power and when given a chance he has done well in games. It is just hard to break through when you have two good backs ahead of you. I also think the fumbling has downgraded him as well.
Sometimes (such as with TJ) I think we elevate our guys better than they are. For instance everyone thought JC is a starter and he went right for a BU spot and Bush was so great but he is a semi backup etc… Think of all the backs that signed before Bush and for good contracts as well.

March 30th, 2012 at 4:00 pm
Bush pretty much got borderline starter money and paid as well or better than many starting RBs. Personally, I always felt it was very iffy for Campbell to land a starting job. Always felt he’d land somewhere like the NYJ or Jags with an starter in place but on thin ice.
I realize Jones is slightly taller/thinner than many backs, but he’s bigger and faster than say Warrick Dunn, who excelled on the NFL level. Probably comparable in terms of size to the Titans’ Chris Johnson. Prob just about as explosive, too.
March 30th, 2012 at 4:01 pm

The other thing about Bush is he can be pretty shaky in terms of pass protection. That’s going to hurt a back’s value big time in today’s NFL. I know many in here are aware of that fact. It’s probably the only thing that kept him from a true, unquestioned starting position.

Goodson certainly is versatile. Wheeler could play either OLB position and the DB’s they have already brought in are slated for special teams positions as well as defense. Versatility seems to be a recurring theme in the guys RM is bringing in.
March 30th, 2012 at 4:12 pm

One reason I like the trade for Goodsen is even though you like BC the fact that we drafted Barksdale and his potential seemed greater than BC’s potential. We also resigned Barnes for competition and depth. I really think the trade is a win/win because we traded depth for weakness. I do also think at 6′ and 212 lbs Goodsen has more of a blend of power and speed than just speed like TJ does. I am also worried about durability with TJ. I think the fact that Goodsen gained 100 yards a game 3 in a row when pressed into duty is a big deal as well.

*******************************
In my opinion Reggie has made big changes in the Defense. 5/6 cuts so far have come on defense. 3 of those cuts were day one starters. He has completely replaced the corners and also taken out two big money reservers with Hendo and Eugene. Many FA defensive reserves have not been resigned as well. While Wimbley was good on 3rd down in 2010 and against reserve lineman for SD in 2011 his play was not at all worthy of 11 million/year. If we can get a true run stuffing – coverage LB like Wheeler I think the FA phase will be done and it will be a huge success.

Campbell was drafted to be on the outside but couldn’t cut it so they moved him inside. Barksdale is a much better run blocker than pass blocker, so they moved him inside as well, which made Campbell expendable. Signing Barnes again proves my point.

Flew in to Oakland 2 days ago. It feels so good to be home even if it’s just for a couple weeks. Stayin at the San Leandro marina inn. Great place great view. I miss the bay area. Go raiders Go A’s!!!!!

Good trade. We get a versatile skill position player who can compete for the backup RB spot and compete as a KR for a backup OLinemen who has been sitting the bench.
As long as Goodson is healthy, he should be DMC primary backup. He did a good job being a backup in Carolina. He has some good games as a spot starter.

There goes Robert Turbin off the Raiders board in the 3rd or 4th rounds.

Yeah. If McK drafts a RB, it will be with one of those two 5th Round picks if anything.

TJONES will be a more productive backup, than the newly signed guy when it is all said and done.

Good! Campbell is a bust and dumb as a bag of dirt. Now trade McFragile for more picks. He’s a sissy, selfish, won’t take a shot for the team that was fighting for the playoffs. Don’t need him. Trade him while he has a little value left.

Lets wait for training camp before deciding if Taiwan Jones is better than a guy most of us have hardly if ever seen play in NFL. Jones looked like an explosive runner but needs to block much better, including blitz pick up, before he sees much playing time in relief of D-Mac
good to add Goodson. Sounds like a pretty good ZBS runner/receiver as backup to D-Mac and a good all around special teams player, young so he should have a lot of tread left on his tires. I suspect he blocks much better than Taiwan Jones does, at least as of 2011.
If he can’t end the fumbling issue, I think we still need to find a goalline & short yardage runner. Maybe one of the guys on roster, Lonyae Miller or Rashawn Jackson, and maybe more to come in to compete.
As far as Campbell, he’s probably better suited to T than G and we have enough T. His great physical gifts are intriguing but not the most important thing for an OL prospect. He is still young and some on this board says he has a learning problem so maybe he’ll improve.
But the important thing as far as the Raiders is that Campbell just hasn’t progressed and can’t be counted on after 2 years. So rather than seeing this as the new Reggime getting rid of an Al Davis guy, I see this as getting a player we need for a player who hasn’t produced and plays a position we are already deep at … who probably would have been cut otherwise.
