WR Criner transcript
By Steve Corkran
Saturday, April 28th, 2012 at 12:57 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders fifth-round draft pick Juron Criner phoned in from Las Vegas to talk about his selection at No. 168. Here is the entire transcript from the conference call with the Bay Area media:
Congratulations.
A: “Thank you.”
Q: Surprised you lasted until the fifth round?
A: “I wouldn’t quite say I had expectations. Like you said, you never know how things are going to turn out. You just got to be patient and just wait until your name is called.”
Q: What are your strengths as a receiver?
A: “I would say, my size, my body control. I have a bit of basketball background history, so that definitely helps me with timing jump balls and as a red-zone threat.”
Q: Did you follow the Raiders?
A: “I never really had a favorite team growing up. I just watched players that I like. So, it will be great to come out there. Similar weather and things like that. Great players came out of there. Biletnikoff. So, it will be great to go up there and play for an organization like Oakland.”
Q: Any talk about converting to tight end?
A: “No, never heard of that one, never wanted to get that big.”
Q: How do you fit in with your 40-time?
A: “I would just say that there’s a difference between playing on the field and having field speed than straight-line speed. So, I don’t feel like I would really having a problem fitting into that category.”
Q: How much do you know about the Raiders offense and how you might fit in here?
A: “Not much. You just got to come in ready to learn and just stay open-minded about it and just pick up whatever you can from whoever you can.”
Q: Are you familiar with any of the players on the Raiders roster?
A: “Yeah, a couple of the receivers – Haywood, Denarius Moore – a couple of the young guys. They got a couple of young receivers.”
Q: Where were you today?
A: “I was just at the house with my family, just watching. Out in Vegas.”
Q: Did the Raiders contact you before they selected you?
A: “No. Not until just before the pick. So, I’m very excited to see the phone ring and get the call.”
Q: Did the Raiders show any interest in you at the scouting combine?
A: “Yeah, I talked with their scouts a few times but nothing out of the ordinary or nothing anything really extra.”
Q: Did you visit the facility in Alameda?
A: “No.”
Q: Are you from Las Vegas?
A: “Yes, born and raised.”
Q: What high school?
A: “Canyon Valley.”

Preist,
before insulting the rest of us “NEOPHYTES”, make sure you know wtf you’re talking about.
Jerry Porter ran 4.34 in the 40 dash. You obviously had no clue what you’re talkging about. Al Davis drafted this project because he was a physical freak.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:01 pm
aig killing folks.
but ya gotta admit, porter was good. we wasted his talents.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:01 pm
how is dennard still on the board. did he kill a prostitute yesterday or something?

Punched a cop in the face.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:03 pm
Better than Bey? Porter and brown slow? You guys are high….
April 28th, 2012 at 1:03 pm
who hasnt wanted to punch a cop in the face?
April 28th, 2012 at 1:03 pm
Okay, I like his size. Hope he has the WANT TO!
April 28th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
@6: me. never punched a cop in the face. never been to jail neither….
April 28th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
i would have rather taken TO than criner but its obvious that the board is thin at this stage of the draft for reggie. he’s probably got his eye on quite a few udfa’s.

—————————
Yeah, I don’t know about that one. Porter could fly. Brown was a speedster early on. I guess by the time he was 35+ he had slowed down. But TB out of ND could definitely run.
I think the fanny-pack might have created an illusion that he wasn’t running quite as fast sometimes.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
Raider Riff,
Sorry to come across so harsh but TJ has a bad habit of posting his opinion and insulting people at the same time. I had to call him on his BS.
Agreed on Porter. Dude wasted his talent.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
oh i forgot about that!! al would’ve taken him by now lol
April 28th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
We already have burners. I don’t mind the lack of speed here. Big guy, good in red zone.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:09 pm
Like what Reggie is adding to the roster with these picks…you know he’s gong to have his guys burning up the phones at 12:01 eastern time working the UDFA’s…
Get that coffee brewing Boss…
April 28th, 2012 at 1:09 pm
Porter was a workour warrior I watched him throughout the combine and I remember in the 4.4’s not 4.3’s however I could be wrong he didn’t have a position he played WR in spots he was a SS at WV. I love kids from that school. Always have I had Bruce Irvin as the best edge rusher in this draft and where was he taken? IMO too high but they got guy who will get 10 sacks in his sleep.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:09 pm
“who hasnt wanted to punch a cop in the face?”
Every single day I have this glorious thought and I dream of the opportunity and hope that one day I can do it.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:09 pm
Still need a DB

April 28th, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Maybe RB Chris Polk will be the 6th round pick? Amazed he’s still on the board.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Timmy was as fast as he needed to be after the knee injury his second year…still remember him getting the PR TD at home for number 99.
Seemed to be moving fast enough to get to the house…
April 28th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
Someone also said on the last thread that we were complaining about the D-Moore pick last year. Not true. I said after the draft that D-Moore and Taiwan Jones were our best picks of the draft. Personally don’t recall anyone ripping that pick.

Iowa St. CB Leonard Johnson was highly rated till he ran a bad 40
Alfonzo Dennard was expected to go in 2nd or 3rd round until he allegedly hit a cop. Tony Serra could get him off if he comes to Raiders.

****
he’d be a good #6. But he was overrated by geeks. Runs upright, injury waiting to happen. Doesn’t block. Bad shoulders. Very productive runner and receiver, though. Weaves through traffic well. Good instincts. Not explosive. Good power for upright runner, but you can already see this guy on IR
April 28th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
No one said Porter and Brown were slow…
Said Porter wasn’t a track star and he wasn’t. We had LB’s that ran 4.4’s.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
We have enough speedsters at WR. I don’t care if this kid Criner is not fast, as long as he can catch the football, and use his big body to shield the defender! I am with you, Reggie!
April 28th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
Porter had no heart. Also, while he had great speed, size and vertical leaping ability, he didn’t have that change of direction quickness and scrappy mentaility.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:17 pm
I am so glad fat ass Warren Sapp is not on NFLN today!

Because he has Bronco season tickets. That’s why.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:18 pm
Utah State’s Michael Smith is still around, too. Some scouts liked him better than Turbin.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:18 pm
Fangupo or Billy Winn, I like Fangupo. He can just eat up blockers. Too bad we dont run the 3-4.

When Porter became an FA following (IIRC) the 2007 season, the book on him was “Terrell Owens attitude without Terrell Owens production.”
The book was right.

Weird how some posts are popping up two or three times and some never show at all.
Maybe O is the moderator and he’s just feeling good.

Having a bad 40 time at this point in the draft can be a good thing…if the kid has good tape….

Five more picks until we find out if we’re running any 3-4 looks or not (either we take Fangupo or we don’t).
April 28th, 2012 at 1:20 pm
Can’t decide which team I want Oaklkand to smash more. KC or Dungver. Hope we shorten Manning’s season

Tim Brown was not fast? He ran a 4.38 while at Notre Dame, not a track star but dude was fast, was slowed a bit after his injury, but what made him great was his route running, great hands, great ability to get open
April 28th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
39. Jerry Mac says Criner told him hes “faster on the field than in the 40.”

Would not be surprised to see Lindley starting for the Cardinals at some point this season.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:23 pm
I am guessing DB or DL
April 28th, 2012 at 1:24 pm
No to Leonard Johnson….
April 28th, 2012 at 1:24 pm
Tim Brown was never a great route runner he jsut got open. He was better at sitting in zones and running option routes. I still know Tim saw him a couple of months ago he’ll tell ya’ he was never a great route runner.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:24 pm
If Criner really wants to keep his head in football, he can be really, really good and this can be a steal.

Leonard Johnson would be a great value here. Played extremely well against top competition.
Still hoping for Sammy Brown, though. By far my favorite sleeper in this draft.

still on the alphonzo dennard wagon. could’ve gone in the 1st
April 28th, 2012 at 1:27 pm
DHB will be getting better and better because of his work ethic and it showed this last year.Some of it had to do with QB not hitting him on stride with the ball he always had to stop and wait for the ball.He never got to use his speed.Now with Palmer he will get to show his speed now.Got to use the football players strengths cant have them doing stuff that they are not good at.Of coarse they will be a flop.

There’s isn’t much BS in his answers and he sounds like a smart guy.

Sorry,. Don’t mean to be a buzzkill. IMO 80% plus of unproven/new players have a good work ethic. You slack off in the NFL and you are of the Not For Long group.
Saying a player has a good work ethic is code for “isn’t all that good, at this point, so keep your fingers crossed.”

Like all bloggers here, I respect DHB for his work ethic, but everytime the ball comes his way, I feel myself holding my breath, afraid he’ll not just not catch it, but that he’ll let it go off his shoulder pad, his stomach, his facemask, his fingertips and let it land in the hands of the defender.
I have to think that qbs throwing to him feel the same way. He also just doesn’t get open, whether he’s on a fly pattern or a quick in. He has indeed improved, but at some point, you have to ask yourself if he’s taking a spot that could be more productive going to another player. We haven’t found that other player yet, but we sure don’t have first round results from DHB, either.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Well they go DT, seems a developmental guy or was he a leader of that G St defense?
April 28th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
Not Hard to stump that Truck all they know how to pronounce is Tebow
April 28th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
From PFW on Bilukidi:
One of the top prospects on the CFL’s radar, Bilukidi has intriguing size, length and movement skills. Recorded a 34½-inch vertical leap and redirects and accelerates very well for a big man. However, he did not consistently dominate marginal competition and his eyes and instincts could be restricting. Does not feel pressure and will have to learn to play with heavier hands — does not jolt blockers or shed quickly enough. Played inside, outside and even stood up some at GSU. Raw, developmental, practice-squad candidate with the dimensions to play in an even or odd front.

Well they go DT, seems a developmental guy or was he a leader of that G St defense?

Georgia State D was good against Run
April 28th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
What did we get inthe trade? Anybody?
April 28th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
6′ 5”, 290lbs, so I’m assuming he’s an end.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
Reggie is doing business so similar to what Al Davis used to do is eerie. This DT is raw material to develope Hahahaha……………yeah things have changed LOL!!!
April 28th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
How about that?
We drafted an Englishman and now a Canadian lineman.

I like this pick….Christo Bilukidi
Still need a DB!

#65:
Like all bloggers here, I respect DHB for his work ethic, but everytime the ball comes his way, I feel myself holding my breath, afraid he’ll not just not catch it, but that he’ll let it go off his shoulder pad, his stomach, his facemask, his fingertips and let it land in the hands of the defender.
I have to think that qbs throwing to him feel the same way. He also just doesn’t get open, whether he’s on a fly pattern or a quick in. He has indeed improved, but at some point, you have to ask yourself if he’s taking a spot that could be more productive going to another player. We haven’t found that other player yet, but we sure don’t have first round results from DHB, either.
======================================
I LOVE DHB as a person, but the man’s just not a natural receiver. He just isn’t. He’s worked incredibly hard to make himself into one, but he’ll never be the natural receiver Crabtree or Denarius is. That’s not a knock on DHB as a person, just a statement of fact. He is not a natural receiver.

I like Christo’s film. He looks unstoppable against his level of competition. A mobile big man. Nice find RM.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
we got the lions 7th rounder in trade
April 28th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
6ft 41/2 inches and 311 pounds?

Raider Nation-Station:
With the 189th overall pick in the 6th round of the 2012 NFL draft the Oakland Raiders select:
Christo Bilukidi:
One of the true sleepers in the 2012 NFL Draft, Georgia State Panthers DL Christo Bilukidi set a school-record for QB sacks in just two years. A Canadian native, Bilukidi could very well be one of the top picks in the 2012 CFL Draft.

6th round pick, what do you expect?

When they say the Raiders are worldwide–they mean the team as well.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
Christo. Bilukidi seems like he might be a good run stuffer.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
We now have a polak, an englishman and a canadian to bolster our roster
April 28th, 2012 at 1:42 pm
I like this pick too.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:42 pm
101. How are those great QB picks by Al, Jamarcus, Aaron Brooks, and Andrew Walter doing? This is a very good draft by Reggie, way better than Al did in ages.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:42 pm
@66….Raider Duck…
I agree…

Because I have NEVER heard of him…

of to madden see u guys later ..
April 28th, 2012 at 1:44 pm
This is why I don’t guess at the draft. It’s laughable. Those guys in war rooms know what they are doing.
Researching all of Reggie’s picks so far just solidifies that. The dude knows what he’s doing. He’s done it before with the Packers and he’s doing it now.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:44 pm
After watching the NFLN coverage I can see why AD had an attitude. Priest the difference is RM drafts these guys in the 6th and AD drafts them in the First and 2nd.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:46 pm
Jerry should have fun interviewing him.
The official language of Angola, where he’s from, is Portugese and yet Bilukidi is a French Canadian.
And here’s Jerry having trouble with English.
–just kidding Jerry, you write some great stuff.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:47 pm
Guy has a good motor.Not a bad pick.Guess there is not any good CBs left.I thought for sure we would snag one up.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:47 pm
Most guys drafted after the 4th round are projects, I think the bergstrom and burris picks are solid picks that will contribute right away
April 28th, 2012 at 1:47 pm
131. Agreed

Nope, but I’m guessing McKenzie living up in frozen Green Bay has.
He’s good good potential like other picks in this draft.

Picking first at #95, I think RM knew this and went after Bartell and 3 other signings to bolster the Secondary outside the draft. He also brought back Gio and kept Branch and Huff.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:50 pm
Another versitile player
April 28th, 2012 at 1:51 pm
Rich Eisen should be fired and work for the Jets front office – I am so sick of this homer stuff on the NFLN.
April 28th, 2012 at 1:54 pm
At least go over our draft so far… ALs not picking! 1st time ever! Espn nfl net, im looking at you..
