Well I’m outta here Gents. Gotta a twelve and a half pound duece trying to bust loose. Maybe I’ll box it up and ship it off to the Smithsonian. Might even garner a few bill for it.
May 10th, 2012 at 9:20 pm
Anyone hear if Big ReggieMac is goin after Sanchez?
May 10th, 2012 at 9:21 pm
I’d love to see Sanchez in Silver and Black. Anyone who can eat a dog during a game is all right with me.

So the Raiders top draft picks for the last few years shakes out like this…
Russell – Mr.Purple Drank – Bust
McFadden – Mr.Turf Toe – Only plays 1/2 the games each season
DHB – Mr.No officer, I haven’t been drinking tonight – Won’t be on the team after this year.
McClain – Mr.Say hello to my little friend – slow, weak, and dumb
Good Lord what a mess. Reggie will get it turned around, but it might take a few years.

Purple Drank? Aw hell no!
May 10th, 2012 at 9:25 pm
DHB got a little drunk and got popped. Aint no crime just glad to hear he got busted before he did some harm to himself or someone else. Dude is smart enough to learn from it. He’ll be fine.
May 10th, 2012 at 9:27 pm
Conroy Black (6-0, 185) CB – Utah: Played two years at Utah after transferring from Fullerton College. Earned honorable mention all-conference honors as a senior after recording four interceptions to tie for the Pac-12 lead.

Great sleeper signing. Maybe a gem. Reggie doin his thing. The man is brilliant.
May 10th, 2012 at 9:29 pm
I for one agree with everything Reggie has done. He’s got a job to do and everything he’s done seems right to me. Well, I’d like to have seen him keep Bush, but oh well.

The Detriot sportswriter is saying the outfield feet measurements are really the attendance numbers.
Sigh.

Bongs hits for everyone!
That’s if you get to the ‘Ville by 12. Lights out after that.
May 10th, 2012 at 9:42 pm
Derek Carrier (6-4, 238) WR – Beloit: Played at Beloit, establishing school records with 189 career receptions for 3,111 yards and 29 touchdowns. Also set a single-season school record with 75 catches for 1,250 yards as a senior.
++++++++++++++++++++
The biggest receiver on the team. Hope the dude can catch and at least runs faster than me.

May 10th, 2012 at 10:40 pm
So D.A. and Reggie say they’re happy with our WR’s yet he signs 4 Undrafted rookies. Could be a gem or two in that group. Nice job Reggie! I’m glad because the Raiders have a group of #2 and #3 receivers, no #1. Gonna be a fun season, can’t wait.

Nuggets pound rear end of Lakers to force another game. As a matter of fact, one has to wonder if the Lakers liked the rear end deal and want more.

Can’t be good for guys like Lou Murphy that we are bringing in so many WRs.
Could easily be 3 new WRs on the roster this year.
May 11th, 2012 at 5:31 am
Aaron Henry and Chaz Powell will ake the team.
May 11th, 2012 at 5:40 am
Bynum got outplayed by Faried last night and Javele McGee the night before (maybe the first time McGee ever outplayed anyone).
Than sits and mopes on the bench.
WTF is wrong with that dude?
May 11th, 2012 at 5:41 am
I think of this list I would go with Carrier and Hamilton, with a good chance that either one or both will be on the PS.
May 11th, 2012 at 5:42 am
Good Morning Nation!!!
JFB, I don’t know…after his defensive greatness in game 1, he disappeared! Last night it was Kobe, who had some kind of stomach virus last night, against Denver! Sickening!
May 11th, 2012 at 5:43 am
Birdman = Scumbag
May 11th, 2012 at 5:47 am
As much as I hate the Lakers and Kobe, watching Kobe this year has made me respect what he does on the court even more.
First off, he always plays, always playing harder than anyone else on the floor. He is always hurt, but never acts like it (unlike Lebron and Wade and Carmelo who get fouled hard, have to be helped up after a minute or so of writing on the g, keep checking their head to see if their bleeding, and basically act like a ninny).
Second, he is playing with a giant collection of hacks right now. Sessions, Blake, Ebanks…..these guys wouldn’t make the team for half of the teams still playing, better yet see any minutes. Than you add Pau and Bynum deciding to mentally check out some nights. And of course Metta.
I am suprised Kobe hasn’t punched someone yet. And I wouldn’t blame him.
May 11th, 2012 at 5:49 am
Bynum didn’t get outplayed by Manimal, Gasoft did.nhe plays PF, not C, lol.
And the game before, Bynum never got the ball. He was 5-8 shooting while Kobe had 32 shots.
We understand you think David Lee is a better player than Bynum, so ur going to pull out the propoganda.
May 11th, 2012 at 5:50 am
Lucas Nix was projected to go in the third/fourth round. Could be a nice pick for depth. I’ve read he is mean and has anger issues. Perfect for the Oline.
May 11th, 2012 at 5:52 am
Well…with Meta World Peace coming back…if that is what they wanted for this series (everyone but Kobe)…they better pull it together and close it out at home! That was sickening last night!
May 11th, 2012 at 5:53 am
Anyways…even through a loss (A’s)…Inge blasted another grand slam in 3 games!!! Too bad Colon had that F’d up 3rd inning!!! Ugghh!!!
May 11th, 2012 at 5:55 am
The Manimal spends every last minute of his run in the paint.
I thought the opposing Center was in charge of limiting that.
May 11th, 2012 at 5:55 am
The problem with the Lakers is PG.
Sessions is terrible!
And the fact that he has the ball in his hands so long on offense, probing, probing, running the clock down…… instead of bringing the ball up and dumping it inside. He is NOT Rondo or Chris Paul. Hell, he is not even Andre Miller, lol.
Why Dilbert[wassup B] has put the ball in this guys hands is beyond me.
May 11th, 2012 at 5:57 am
PG is a major hole for you guys.
I just can’t see a team winning it all with those two dudes playing PG.
Blake is OK, but he seems to get picked on a lot defensively.
May 11th, 2012 at 5:58 am
Lakers don’t play zone, JFB.
Gasoft is playing Manimal man to man and getting out worked. Unbelievable!
May 11th, 2012 at 6:01 am
I saw the Manimal get blocked by Bynum, than Bynum just starts walking up the court, while the Manimal was still working and got a put back.
If the ball is still in the paint, why is the Center drifting out to mid-court?
May 11th, 2012 at 6:02 am
How does Ty Lawson score damn near 40 pts?
Sessions is a bum!
We have NO chance against a Tony Parker if we are giving 40 to TY LAWSON.
May 11th, 2012 at 6:03 am
Tiger Woods should retire.

Players begin reporting to Alameda Thursday for the Raiders’ first rookie minicamp of the Reggie McKenzie-Dennis Allen Era. The three-day camp begins tomorrow and there is media access on Saturday. So while the team is limited to giving physicals, taking photos and conducting other administrative functions on today’s travel day, here are five questions facing the Raiders as they enter their first rookie minicamp of 2012…
Who will be there?
As the name suggests, all of the Raiders rookies, from their six draft picks in offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom, linebacker Miles Burris, defensive end Jack Crawford, receiver Juron Criner, defensive tackle Christo Bilukidi and linebacker Nathan Stupar, their soon-to-be announced undrafted free agents, which, at last unofficial count numbered 15 players, “street” free agents on a tryout basis and about a dozen “select” veterans. The “select” veterans are “first-year” players. Think practice squad, guys that have been around but have yet to play in a game. There have been no reports, or announcements, of the Raiders’ draft picks signing yet, but an unsigned draftee can participate in this weekend’s minicamp because it is within 15 days of the draft and two of the days are on Saturday and Sunday and they cannot leave the respective campuses until the day before the camp, which is today. Things could get hairy for Burris in next week’s OTA’s, though, if he is unsigned since San Diego State will not have held its graduation ceremonies yet. But that’s a different question for a different day.
Wait, what about quarterback Terrelle Pryor, who is “essentially” a rookie?
Surely, the polarizing figure that is Pryor will be in Alameda continuing his work, no? Um, no. But not because he doesn’t want to be there or is blowing it off. Far from it. Because Pryor appeared in one game last season, albeit the play did not count because it was wiped out by a false start penalty on Pryor against Kansas City, he is considered a second-year player and thus, ineligible to participate. It’s too bad, too, because Pryor could use all the work he can get after missing nearly all of training camp last season before serving a five-game suspension and then seeing all of one NFL snap last year.
Who has a chance to shine this weekend, then?
No doubt it will be hard to prove your NFL worth against similarly talented players in this camp, but you’d expect the draft picks to rise above the scrum. Particularly Bergstrom. It will be interesting to see where the Raiders line Bergstrom up. He played right tackle in college at Utah but projects to playing inside in the NFL. With free agent signee Mike Brisiel all-but ensconced at right guard, I could see a training camp battle brewing at left guard between Bergstrom and veteran Cooper Carlisle, who has played only right guard with the Raiders. Not exactly a glamorous position, but one of extreme importance.
Anyone else?
Of course. The high-energy Burris, meanwhile, might have a chance to show his wares at strong-side linebacker before competing with veteran free-agent pickup Philip Wheeler. Burris might be a tad undersized for a SAM ‘backer, but so is Wheeler. And in Allen’s revamped defense, the emphasis will be on speed and technique, rather than bulk and power. Of course, the Raiders will take it all. Then there’s Criner, who is slow for a Raiders receiver by Al Davis standards, but his college game show him to be the red zone threat Oakland has missed for years and what the Raiders envisioned in the departed Chaz Schilens.
Fine, but who’s the most intriguing player to keep an eye on?
Crawford is an athletic freak who, scouts say, can be as good as he wants to be so long as he plays hard every snap. The confident Bilukidi is the first player ever drafted into the NFL out of a young program at Georgia State and, like Crawford, has a basketball-playing background. But perhaps more intriguing than either of them if Stupar, who was told on draft day by the Raiders he would be moving to middle linebacker, presumably to back up the thus-far disappointing Rolando McClain. Of course, the Raiders need depth at middle linebacker, just like at any other position, but McClain is facing a trial date of May 17 for his allegedly shooting a gun next to a man’s head and the change in organizational philosophy, as well as a fat cell treatment therapy on his knee and ankle, could do McClain well. Being pushed by a seventh-round draft pick in Stupar, who hails from the former Linebacker U at Penn State? That might be what lights the fire under McClain, and everyone benefits then, right?

May 11th, 2012 at 6:24 am
3 Players stand out because they were expected to be drafted in day three and come from bigger programs:
S Aaron Henry, DT Dominique Hamilton and G Lucas Nix.
Missouri DT Dominique Hamilton 6′5 313:
- Looks like a good player vs the run, every report I’ve read mentions his run-stuffing ability, no pass-rushing ability at all, but we got others who can do that, a 2 down player they say.
“Positives —
Very intriguing potential 3-4 nose tackle due to his strength and run-stopping ability; also flashes some burst off the line of scrimmage, can eat up blockers and push and penetrate the pocket.
Big body with good power at the point of attack, long arms and can punch lineman back, can be difficult to engage, can deliver a jolt and establish hand position on contact, gets some push on the bull rush and can overpower blockers.
Solid leg drive, keeps his legs moving, can generate a push on the pocket.
Has the strength to anchor against double teams and holds his ground at the point inside, looks like a two-down run stuffer at the next level, does a great job as a run stopper in the middle of the line, can occupy blockers and free up others around him to make plays.
Plays with a good motor and shows good awareness of the ball carrier, has plus instincts and can make some plays in pursuit.
If he can add some weight and develop into a 3-4 nose tackle he could end up being a tremendous value pick late in day three.
At this point, only has the potential to fill out and play at nose tackle in a 3-4 scheme, but still fits either scheme either at the nose in a four-man front or as a 3-4 defensive end (5-technique).
Negatives —
His lack of athleticism was exploited at the combine, 5.54-40 was the slowest among all defensive linemen.
Routinely gets upright off the ball, doesn’t use his hands well to shed through contact and is primarily a bull rusher who can push the pocket, but lacks much of an arsenal of pass rush moves.
Doesn’t look very comfortable in stack and shed situations, needs to be more consistent with his hand usage and placement.
Can get upright when he tires and expose himself, loses stamina as the game moves on, tires too easily.
Would need to add considerable weight to be considered full time as a 3-4 nose, weighed in seven pounds lighter than his listed weight at Missouri, value is minimized without the potential to play inside in a three-man front.
Minor durability concerns, played in seven games during his junior season and missed spring practices this season following a broken ankle that required surgery.”
—————————————————
One more:
A tall, long-armed defensive tackle with a thick, but athletic looking, frame. Still has the ability to continue to fill out, but carries his 305-pounds very well.
Is at his best vs. the run game. He coils up well for a taller defensive tackle and can keep his base under him, with his back flat, and doesn’t waste any motion getting off the football.
Exhibits good ball awareness inside off the snap and has a “plus” first step for his size. He also does a nice job staying low off the ball, extending his arms into the chest plate of blockers and creating a jolt into contact.
Works his legs through the point and has the lower body strength to overwhelm into the backfield and/or fight his way off of blocks when trying to one-gap.
Does a nice job extending his arms through the play and controls blocks well through contact. Is strong armed and can anchor, but tends to get a bit upright through the play and is straight-legged, which takes away from his ability to shed and two gap.
Is a bit inconsistent at times locating the football as well, he’ll sometimes take himself out of plays inside, but exhibits good range in pursuit, can play off blocks and has a good motor working toward the football.
Is still developing as a pass rusher. He displays some get off burst and athletic ability when asked to stunt inside and close, but he struggles to keep his pad level down as effectively off the ball when trying to rush the passer.
He gets upright, which limits his get-off burst and power into contact and he can be easily handled on contact. Doesn’t use his hands as well to violently shed and isn’t real laterally sudden when trying to side step defenders.
He played in only seven games last season due to a broken ankle and might have some medical concerns going forward.
Impression:
Plays the run much stronger than his frame would indicate. He’s got a burst off the snap, plays with leverage and extends his long arms. Has the frame to add 15 to 20 pounds and looks like a 3-4 five-technique at the next level who could start in the league.”

Because Pryor appeared in one game last season, albeit the play did not count because it was wiped out by a false start penalty on Pryor against Kansas City, he is considered a second-year player and thus, ineligible to participate.

Chaz Powell, CB, Penn State.
Kid looks the part in a uniform but very raw and just recently moved to CB after playing WR and being recruited as a S, very good athlete who also returns kicks and plays Gunner on ST’s, always a plus.
Stuff on Powell:
Height: 6’0″
Weight: 203
“Strengths:
•Great athlete and great speed
•Great kick returner
•Very good size
•Lots of untapped potential
•Lots of special teams experience playing gunner on punts and covering kicks
•High football IQ, good instincts
•Great hands and leaping ability with a nose for the ball
•Great closing speed
•Willing and able tackler
Weaknesses:
•Limited experience at corner, only played 18 games at the position
•No experience in man coverage
•Really raw
•Technique is lacking and will need to be coached up
•May lack a true position
Chaz Powell is somewhat of an unknown quantity among the common fan but he’s a player that scouts are well aware of and is highly regarded.
Powell was a productive player whenever he was on the field for Penn State.
Powell came in as a safety recruit and redshirted in 2007 learning the position. Penn State was very deep at safety though so he played wide receiver and returned kicks as a freshman and sophomore.
Powell finally moved to cornerback for good mid-way through his junior season and started the final five games. He then went on to start all 13 games as a senior.
Powell has shown to be a playmaker when he gets the ball in his hands, sporting a very solid kick return average and returning a pair for touchdowns in his career.
Powell also has tons of experience on special teams coverage units as he was the gunner on punts for pretty much his entire career and played on the kick coverage unit.
As a defender, Powell is very raw. Penn State really only played zone concepts in the secondary so he only has experience in zone and some off man.
Powell’s overall technique improved every game over his 18 game starting career but it still has plenty of room for improvement.
Powell is a smooth athlete that has fluid hips and can run with anyone but his footwork needs cleaning up for him to be more effective in transition.
Powell rarely gets beat deep between the off coverage and his great speed.
He’s a physical player that’s not afraid to mix it up in the run game but he’s got no experience in bump and run and will need further development to make the transition to that type of scheme.
That being said, Powell’s skillset projects well to any scheme and even projects well to multiple positions as an NFL team could move him back to WR with his great ball skills, keep him at corner, or even move him to free safety where he was originally recruited to play.
Powell is already a great special teamer and he’s the kind of high upside player that teams love to target late in drafts that can come in and be a special teams stud from day one and has the upside to develop into a starter a few years down the road.”
—————————————————
One more, from a Penn State site, they should know him well and I don’t see much of a homer’s point of view:
“Powell is a tremendous athlete, but he’s still very raw in the secondary–though he’s got two years of experience now, he still hasn’t shown much scheme diversity.
I’m not sure he’s ever played any bump-and-run, for instance, and he’ll need to be groomed into an NFL corner.
The benefit to any interested team, though, is that Powell isn’t a guy who’ll have to be stashed on special teams or be inactive while he learns and grows as a defensive back.
Immediately, he can step in and return kicks for a team that’s deficient in that area. And, should the entire wide receiver corps come down with the flu, Powell is uniquely able to provide some emergency depth at that position, too–kind of like a bizarro Mike Furrey.
Long story short, Powell is too athletic and versatile not to make at least some impact in the NFL, and though he likely won’t be more than a late-round draft pick, odds are better that he’s a diamond in the rough than a wasted selection.”

Sounds like Hamilton is pretty much a Josh Chapman type player, sans the busted knee.

*********************************
Well, they were struggling and suffering before they went to school, so why is their struggle the NCAA’s fault?
They give these guys a fantastic stepping stone to further their lives, and pay for EVERYTHING they do for 3-4 years of their lives.
I think they should pay the football players, maybe even around 100K, but make them pay for everything else (school, room and board, food, travel) and watch how quick all the players run back to the old system.

OG Lucas Nix:
Summary:
An aggressive, tenacious, white-knuckled run blocker with a desirable trench temperament. Plays on his toes, tips, tilts and overextends too much, but his deficiencies are correctable and his demeanor is endearing to OL coaches and evaluators.
—————————————————
Analysis: Nix was very productive the past three seasons and is a line prospect who offers size and growth potential. He could develop into a starter in the NFL or at the very least could be an inexpensive utility blocker for several positions on the offensive line.
Projection: 4th
—————————————————
Impression: A good athlete for the position who can win in the pass game and seal lanes inside as a run blocker as well. Has some upside as a power play moving lineman off the ball and looks like a capable starter in the NFL.

#64 thanks for that article link on Pryor.
That should open a lot of people’s eyes now about the man.
I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of his honesty, humility, and passion to be great. There were a lot of great quotes by him there, but the one I liked the best was this…
“It comes to me every now and then that I was the last draft pick of Mr. Davis (who died of heart failure last October). Before he passed away, he would call me and he’d be like, he’d say my name and then say, ‘I believe in you. This year is going to be tough for you, but I believe in you for the future.’ Every single time it was the exact same thing. He would just keep spitting that exact same thing. That’s something that makes me want to have success too. Sometimes people say that he didn’t make the right draft choices, and to be his last pick, I don’t want to be gone off the team, I don’t want to be cut, I don’t want to have people be like, ‘Oh, why did he pick him?’ Knowing that he believed in me just pushes me more.”
May 11th, 2012 at 6:42 am
That right there, GG, makes me want him to be successful! The fact that he was Al’s last pick makes me want him to be that QB that we have been loooking for!
May 11th, 2012 at 6:44 am
My bosses nephew plays Hoops for UTEP, not quite big-boy football, and he told us that no player ever pays for any food, unless they are too drunk to be wandering around the training room (where all the food is).
These kids probably eat almost 25k worth of food a year (training table is catered twice a day at UTEP, with Outback, Olive Garden and some local places mostly).

Wisconsin S Aaron Henry:
Interesting player, seems like inexperience at Safety is his major concern but if he can learn might be a steal.
“A solidly built safety prospect who made the move from corner following the 2009 season and has some natural cover skills.
Does a nice job sitting into his drop, staying compact with his footwork and has some click and close ability when asked to drive on throws under him.
Isn’t afraid to play in the slot, is patient off the line keeping his body square in his backpedal and takes good angles on passes under him.
Possesses only average straight-line speed when asked to turn and run, but is physical in man, does a nice job getting a bump initially and can re-rout receivers and throw off their timing if they try to run by him.
Exhibits some natural fluidity in the deep half as well when asked to get over the top.
However, isn’t real instinctive in any area of the game. Doesn’t get many early jumps on the football, has a tendency to stop his feet when trying to read and react and takes himself out of far too many plays.
Isn’t a real ball hawk or playmaker at this stage. Now, has only played the position one year and has some room to grow, but he’s a very reactive player at this stage, not proactive.
Generates a thump into contact when attacking the line of scrimmage. Squares his shoulders well, brings his legs and there is a snap into contact.
Is patient as a last line defender as well, using the sideline to funnel ball carries, but isn’t overly aggressive and again, never really seems to be on the offensive, doesn’t quite trust himself to just let it lose at this stage.
Impression: A good-sized kid with some natural cover skills and range, but is still learning the mental nuances of the game. Still developing at the position, but skill set says potential starter.”

May 11th, 2012 at 6:52 am
The nephew:
“Dan Knapp 6′5″, 304 pounds.
College Career: Saw action in 40 games after redshirting in 2007. Played his first three years as a tight end, catching five passes for 40 yards and a touchdown. He then converted to offensive tackle, where he started six games in 2010 before starting all 13 in 2011.
Strengths:
At ASU’s Pro Day, Knapp put up a phenomenal 41 reps in the bench press, which would have led all offensive linemen had he been invited to the Combine.
As a former tight end, Knapp has excellent footwork and agility for a lineman, and showed off a good burst with a 4.8 second 40-yard dash time.
He has added nearly 30 pounds since the end of the 2011 season, and with his agility, strength and build, projects as an interesting guard prospect with the ability to also play tackle.
Weaknesses:
While he has great raw talent, he did not put it all together on the field. Having just been an offensive lineman for two seasons, Knapp is unrefined in his technique.
He had many great moments, but was inconsistent in his play. Just barely over 300 pounds, he doesn’t have the size of an NFL tackle, and even could be considered on the smaller side of guards, so his best bet may be with a zone blocking team.
Knapp has a lot of upside, but figures to be a developmental project.”

Robert Gallery: Patriots a new start after career “hasn’t been ideal”
Posted by Michael David Smith on May 11, 2012, 8:03 AM EDT
AP
Prior to the 2004 NFL draft, Iowa offensive tackle Robert Gallery was considered the surest of the sure things on the draft board. Gallery, who went second overall to the Raiders after Eli Manning went first, was almost unanimously viewed as both the safest bet on the board and the most likely player in that draft class to develop into a Pro Bowler.
As it turned out, Gallery was the only player of the first eight drafted that year who hasn’t made a Pro Bowl. Gallery has been a starter for his entire NFL career, but instead of becoming the franchise left tackle everyone expected, he’s been a better fit at guard, and he’s had a hard time staying healthy.
Gallery will turn 32 this summer, but he doesn’t see himself as being on the down side of his career. Instead, Gallery thinks that signing with the Patriots in March gives him his best chance to end his career on his terms.
“Obviously it hasn’t been ideal, but you play with the cards you are dealt and I’m just glad for the opportunity to come to a place like this and still know that I’ve got a lot left in me,” Gallery told the Boston Herald.
Gallery knows he’s viewed as a disappointment considering the expectations, but he says he’s past that.
“If you are drafted high then you are going to have a lot put on you,” Gallery said. “I mean it is what it is, that was a long time ago. Honestly I don’t really care. I’m going to come out and do the things that I know I can do and do the best with the situation that I’m in. You come in and whatever people think of you, to me it doesn’t really matter.”
In New England, Gallery thinks he’ll be a good fit, and a starter.
“It was a good fit for both of us,” Gallery said. “I’ve been told that they are going to put the best five guys on the field. I’m going to be one of the best five guys, that’s my goal.”
Being one of the best five guys on the Patriots isn’t quite the same as being the best offensive lineman in the entire league, which is how he was projected before the 2004 draft. But starting on a playoff team would be a first for Gallery, and he has a good chance to do that in New England.
——————–
yeah, he was a sure thing all right.
May 11th, 2012 at 7:08 am
So Knapp is another Barnes! A pass catching OL?
May 11th, 2012 at 7:12 am

Lucas Nix will make the 53 man roster
May 11th, 2012 at 7:18 am
From cnnsi:
“Each NFL team’s most promising undrafted free agent.
As soon as the NFL Draft ends, teams make a beeline to the phones in an effort to scoop up undrafted free agents — one more avenue coaching staffs go down to find talent.
Every year, dozens of players never make the cut.
Still, you can always look at James Harrison, Tony Romo and Antonio Gates (all stars who slipped through the draft), among others.
So, who might the diamonds in the rough be this year?.
Oakland Raiders — Derek Carrier, WR, Beloit (Wis.): It’s a long jump from Division III to the NFL, but the 6-3, extremely athletic Carrier could make it.
He ran a 4.51 40 and put up a 38-inch vertical leap at Wisconsin’s Pro Day.
It’s possible Oakland gives him a shot at tight end, where he’d be a very difficult matchup for linebackers and safeties.
Others to watch: Kaelin Burnett, DE/OLB, Nevada; Lucas Nix, G/T, Pittsburgh.”
May 11th, 2012 at 7:21 am
At 6′3 240, Carrier could push David Ausberry as the pass-catching TE, might turn into a camp star just like Ausbery last year.

Leinert will work his ass off between now and the season. Pryor won’t resist partying and screwing around. He’ll look like crap in the preseason. I’m sure Al would be proud….IF he were alive. Which he’s not.

Sullivan, you keep forgetting you admitted to me on RFnet that you were once a raiders fan until Davis moved the team to LA, and then you became a Niner fan, even mentioned your dad (if i recall right) was so livid by it that he became an Al-hater, and you saw how that affected him too as well as feeling that yourself, like many other people at the time in the Bay Area who also converted to Niners fans, at the dawn of their dynasty-era.

That article yesterday on PFT about Pryor didn’t cast a very good light on his character. Saying that he was contemplating quitting football last year? Wtf? He hasn’t even started his career yet. That is not a good trait to have. It will always be there in the back of his head. Times get tough, F- it I’m going to quit.

Interested to see how Burris shows himself as a potential impact player.
If you haven’t read Greg Cosell’s take on him (pre draft) look it up. It’s a good read.
Of course the “after draft” analysis would be different if Belichik would have gotten him as opposed to Raiders.
May 11th, 2012 at 9:06 am

Kirk, wishing death on people isn’t cool. Al Davis is a public figure. I’ve never even met the guy…neither have you. Celebrities are fair game. But wishing death on regular people is a curse. So have fun with that. BTW, I’ll bet you anything there are more gay Raider fans than Niner fans.

Do you wanna spank the monkey? lol

GG, how am I defending niner fans by saying there are less gay niner fans than gay Raider fans? Do you think being gay is a flaw?

And, the only Raider fans that wish Al was still here are those types that didn’t care if we won or lost, etc. Fans that actually like to see the team win are glad Al’s gone. Because there was no chance of the team winning when he was here.

Al’s been dead for over 6 months and this clown still has Al’s nutz firmly planted on his chin. He can’t let go. He is a 49ers fan. He has said it numerous times. His reason for being here is to piss off real Raider fans

Kirk you have serious anger management issues. Your whole family could have perished in a plane wreck, Al couldn’t have cared less. But go ahead and worship him.

Include Andrew Walter as another NE failure. I don’t consider Warren as a success. Think of anyone else who turned to the Pats apart from Trevor Scott and Robert Gallery recently?
May 11th, 2012 at 9:36 am

The reason BB picks up our guys is because its common knowledge that our players arent the problem, its been the scheme.
Finally that is changing.
May 11th, 2012 at 9:39 am
GG, in the Belichick era, New England just owns us. Just flat out owns us. Belichick used to butter Al up, make him think they were friends, so Al would give him draft picks and good players for garbage. It should have been a crime. Elderly abuse.

#183…
Sullivan, you already got schooled on this errant perception of yours in posts #137 and #139…
#136…Amy’s still in charge, she’s probably Al’s most closest ‘guy’. What you’re seeing is Mark handing over the FOOTBALL operations to Reggie and giving him carte blanche to do with it as he sees fit, because Mark isn’t a ‘football guy’ and ‘knows what he doesn’t know’. Reggie has been making those football operational changes as Reggie sees fit, not Mark.
GG Says:
May 11th, 2012 at 8:24 am
And that includes John Herrera, got the nudge from Reggie, not Mark. John’s sphere of employment was in the football department.
—-
That’s fact and you know it. You can’t spin it around. You can do what you do, which is continue to say the BS you say, but it doesn’t provide a shred of evidence to bolster your perception. Look at who’s been removed, what dept they worked in (football operations), and who’s in charge of football operations (McKenzie). The evidence is proof. Further, consider Amy was Al’s closest ‘guy’, and she’s still firmly entrenched there because she falls under Mark’s sphere of control. Which is another evidence proving your perception incorrect.

Like I said, GG. Amy Trask was held over because she was the only one of Al’s minions who actually had a skill.

You said “all of al’s minions” and you’ve been persistent about Mark letting these people go. Which would mean Mark is being like dad meddling into the GM’s sphere of control. Which is it? Is Mark meddling and pulling the strings on the puppet GM, or, is Reggie truly an empowered GM in control of football operations who has been the one letting people go?
May 11th, 2012 at 10:00 am

Well, they were struggling and suffering before they went to school, so why is their struggle the NCAA’s fault?
They give these guys a fantastic stepping stone to further their lives, and pay for EVERYTHING they do for 3-4 years of their lives.
I think they should pay the football players, maybe even around 100K, but make them pay for everything else (school, room and board, food, travel) and watch how quick all the players run back to the old system.
******************************************
They definitley give players an opportunity that many dont receive but to say they pay for “everything” is incorrect. This article will give you the true meaning of what a “full” scholarship encompasses.

“Al really took me under his wing … and taught me pretty much everything I know about pro football,” Herrera, who was a receiver at UC Davis, told The Chronicle in October. “He wanted me to learn everything – personnel, business media, public relations – and by that point, I was ready to work 24-7.
“The working-for-him part was not easy, because he was always demanding. Rightfully so. He knew what he wanted, he knew what you needed to do to help him be successful, and you had to bring your ‘A’ game to work every day.”

Wisconsin S Aaron Henry:
Interesting player, seems like inexperience at Safety is his major concern but if he can learn might be a steal.
“A solidly built safety prospect who made the move from corner following the 2009 season and has some natural cover skills.
Does a nice job sitting into his drop, staying compact with his footwork and has some click and close ability when asked to drive on throws under him.
Isn’t afraid to play in the slot, is patient off the line keeping his body square in his backpedal and takes good angles on passes under him.
Possesses only average straight-line speed when asked to turn and run, but is physical in man, does a nice job getting a bump initially and can re-rout receivers and throw off their timing if they try to run by him.
Exhibits some natural fluidity in the deep half as well when asked to get over the top.
However, isn’t real instinctive in any area of the game. Doesn’t get many early jumps on the football, has a tendency to stop his feet when trying to read and react and takes himself out of far too many plays.
Isn’t a real ball hawk or playmaker at this stage. Now, has only played the position one year and has some room to grow, but he’s a very reactive player at this stage, not proactive.
Generates a thump into contact when attacking the line of scrimmage. Squares his shoulders well, brings his legs and there is a snap into contact.
Is patient as a last line defender as well, using the sideline to funnel ball carries, but isn’t overly aggressive and again, never really seems to be on the offensive, doesn’t quite trust himself to just let it lose at this stage.
Impression: A good-sized kid with some natural cover skills and range, but is still learning the mental nuances of the game. Still developing at the position, but skill set says potential starter.”
^^^^^^
I think Henry will be on this team for the next 3 years…if not longer.
I think he will grow to be a player/contributor.

I think it is better to have every car out there have a breathalizer/IDD device. Everytime you blow in it and if you are over .08 BAC your car doesn’t start. Time to get a cab or find a ride home.
It would be great teaching tool for kids while growing up and it should just be a part of society.
But noooooo, the fed and state want to find a way to make money off people.
It’s not about stopping people from drunk driving, it’s about making money and that is sad.
MADD should be pushing for every vehicle produced and manufactured to have a breathalizer/IDD device.
This would keep the jails less packed as well.

Every time Sullivan replies with lines like “live in denial”, it only keeps cementing my victory in this debate. It means he has no proof to back up his perception. Whereas I’ve provided it: Amy still there, Amy Al’s closest minion, Herrera/scouts/etc all football operations, all Reggie’s decision.
The only way Sullivan could provide proof is if Amy was fired this season. She falls under Mark’s sphere. If Mark was so keen to clean house of his dad that he supposedly hated (silver nonsense that sully parrots), then Amy would’ve been gone already, gone first, gone prior to the start of the regular season.

Raider O,
The reason why you need drunk driving to be a crime is because you can’t handle your alcohol. Why do you need laws to control yourself? Why can’t you do it?

High Cost of Prisons Not Paying Off, Report Finds
The U.S. spends more than any other nation — $60 billion a year — to house inmates, but sees little good as a result, a bipartisan panel says.

Yeah, I think we should just let the criminals walk with a fine. Who needs jails?
6th DUI? $150 please. Next!
Aggravated Assault? Are you going to do it again? No? Okay, $250 fine and restitution. Next!
DUI Manslaughter????…..hey, aren’t you the guy who I just fined $150 for a DUI 6th????? Shame on you! $500 fine and write the child’s family a letter of apology!
^^^^^^^^
That’s what I’m saying. It’s a waste of money and it is a sick cycle.
Goverment and States should just nip it in the butt and have all cars produced have the breathalizer/IDD implemented to stop drunk driving or at try and curb it.

So you are advocating for legalization of child pornography….why doesn’t that surprise me? Legalization of cousin humping too…..
May 11th, 2012 at 10:27 am
I think it is better to have every car out there have a breathalizer/IDD device. Everytime you blow in it and if you are over .08 BAC your car doesn’t start. Time to get a cab or find a ride home.

It’s just a way to the broken judicial system to make money off people. Bottom line. It’s not about stopping people from drunk driving when you look at the big picture.
I will be writing Senator Boxer on this and MADD and see what they say about implementing breathalizers/IDD in every car that is produced off the line, if they REALLY want to stop drunk driving in society.

It is a decent theory, but there are ways around the ignition interlock device. You can bypass the system, or just have someone else blow into the device to start your car. Some systems have cameras, but does everyone in America want a camera watching them in their car? And it does not stop people who pass the test, start the car, and then continue drinking while driving….may get caught at the end if the system requires you to test to shut off car, but doesn’t stop the important part of driving.
And then there is the cost…another government mandate?
May 11th, 2012 at 10:37 am
You risk your life and the lives of others every time you get behind the wheel, Mike. Nearly all accidents are a result of traffic violations that aren’t related to any drug, i.e., speeding, reckless driving, failing to yield, the offenders just happen to be drunk too. They do the same things when they’re sober. I’ll bet you anything studies show that sober people get into wrecks just as much as drunk people, if you break it down per capita, etc.

Those Ignition interupt breathlyzers are horrible dude. First, you have to pull over every 20 miles because your car shuts off, and blow into that thing again. Kind of a safety hazard for a person commuting on a very busy highway! If someone has a dwi problem, they probably don’t have a license anymore anyways, and those that get the ignition devices have restricted driving priveleges anyways. They are also ridiculously expensive (4 or 5 grand). Do you want to pay an extra 5 grand on your new car purchase for one of those stupid things, when you are smart enough not to drink and drive?

They are terrible, but they should have technology these days to upgrade those things by now and have them run more efficiently.
It should be the wave of the future.
Nip drunk driving in the butt, instead of going through waste of time and money judicial process, that costs tax payers money and it will cause less tragedy on the roads.

Al Davis’s imprint is all over the Raiders. From the speed of most of the players to the locker room staff, to the colors Silver & Black, because b4 Al the Raiders were black & gold. Al’s son is the managing partner, Al’s right hand women is still CEO, Reggie Mack was a player who Al drafted & was trained to be a GM by Ron Wolf Al’s long time personnel assistant, and handpicked by John Madden Al’s best friend . Willie Brown is still with the team as well as many old time raiders. The offense we will run this year was created by Mike Shanahan (part of the Al Davis coaching tree) is a mix of Bill Walsh’s(part of the Al Davis coaching tree) west coast / zone blocking offense & The Al Davis/Sid Gilman power running/ vertical offense. The defense will be the piece that will really change without Al Davis. We will still run some man-to-man press coverage, but not on every play. In fact many teams use Al Davis’s defense, but not as the base defense. Thank God many of Al’s great ideas will continue to be part of the Raiders without Al Davis micro-managing everything. GOOOO000000oo RRRRRRRaiderz! & Al Davis forever!

“We must note that the emphasis of restitution-punishment is diametrically opposite to the current practice of punishment. What happens nowadays is the following absurdity: A steals $15,000 from B. The government tracks down, tries and convicts A, all at the expense of B, as one of the numerous taxpayers victimized in this process. Then, the government, instead of forcing A to repay B or to work at forced labor until that debt is paid, forces B, the victim, to pay taxes to support the criminal in prison for ten or twenty years’ time. Where in the world is the justice here?”

@ Sullivan44, Al Davis brought Oakland 2 Superbowls. Thats 2 more than Jacksonville, Seattle, Tennessee, San Diego, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Houston, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Carolina,Buffalo, Atlanta, and Arizona. One more than; Baltimore, Chicago, New York Jets, Kansas City, New Orleans, St. Louis, and Tampa Bay! There are only a small handfull of teams that can claim that they’ve been more successfully ran over the course of time that Big Al was running the show. I am glad that Reggie Mac, and DA are in charge and off to a good start in my opinion, and that the Raiders are now ushering in a new age.
However to suggest that Raider fans should be happy that Al Davis is dead is ignorant and disrespectful.
Go back to being on 49er threads! We dont want that here.

DAV ya, u r right about his price going down, i remember sitting above the Black Hole last year when Sanchez threw a perfect pass to the right corner pylon and Plax DROPS it! I was so happy! Would not be happy to see him “shoot himself in the foot” by dropping balls in the endzone
May 11th, 2012 at 11:51 am
Juron Criner and Mark Carrier are two rookies with tremendous size! Also Drunk Hazardous Boi AKA DHB has very good size at 6′3″ and last year showed a LOT of heart taking some serious shots, held onto the ball and still finished the game hard!
May 11th, 2012 at 11:51 am
I also think backup RB is a priority over signing a guy like Plaxico.
Is Goodson really worthy of the #2 role?
I’d rather see C. Benson and his drama roll into town over Plaxico.
May 11th, 2012 at 11:51 am
Bowe dropped some passes too. Cares.
Plax has shown the ability to be an elite RZ target.
We have 0 of those currently proven on the roster.

No, ask everyone NOT named Kobe!
May 11th, 2012 at 11:53 am
Taiwan and Goodson are pretty much it for now, after Tyvon and Reece get signed the GM will find another unheard of back rom some small school and DA will plug him into a role like 3rd 0r 4th and short.

There is no ‘potential’. They are what they are.
Dwight is 18&13, best defender in the NBA.
Drew is 11&7, no motor.
May 11th, 2012 at 12:03 pm
LOL Stupar is a try hard, but limited athletically. Burris looks like Clay Matthews on tape against college players. If he does stuff like this in PRO? Look out!

To quote Hue….”Obviously”
May 11th, 2012 at 12:09 pm
DAV, potentially on any given night Bynum could dominate Dwight. He has better post moves and is a bigger man. He takes himself out of games with his shot selection, attitude{ last night}, and foul trouble. Plus he has to defer shots and prestige to Kobe, and Gasol. Dwight can pretty nuch do as he pleases and tweak his coach. Bynum has multiple rings, Dwight has O. Dwight IS the better prospect but with his indecsion and injury…. well Bynum could close the gap with more maturity as he ages. But then again he probaly wont. The Lakers dont need him to be better than Dwight, they do need him to pull it out and stop acting likr one LOL,
May 11th, 2012 at 12:10 pm
That’s 52, 1 spot open for a vet WR/RB or surprise..

Thats funny, because potentially and factually are 2 different things.
Because factually Dwight has owned Bynum head 2 head.
Factually Dwight has better #’s across the board.
Factually Dwight has carried a mediocre team to the brink of Title’s.
YOU CANNOT SPEAK OF POTENTIAL WITH PLAYERS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE LEAGUE FOR 7 YEARS.
May 11th, 2012 at 12:17 pm
Man! That guy better get it together ala Driving Home Blasted i mean DHB and produce in his third year!

Trade DHB while he still has some value.

Everyone old and young has potential. Scouts hate that word, coach killers they call em. Look D A V, you are correct on most of what you’re saying. All Im saying is that although Bynum has flaws, he is still very young and can, not necessarily will, but can still improve/grow up/ change. If he was say 29 and still doing the immature things he does then we dont have this convo. A glass thats half way full or empty has the potential to be full or empty.

May 11th, 2012 at 12:36 pm
Bynum has more grace and touch than Howard on the offensive side. Soft hands and fluid body movement.
Howard still looks a little stiff on offense.
On defense it isn’t even close.
Only due to the injuries, I would trade Bynum for Howard….but now Howard has a bad back, and that never goes away…
May 11th, 2012 at 12:36 pm
Now you compare Bynum to Kobe? LOL Mike Jordan still has potential! So do you D A V! So do I! Who cares bottom line is Howard = better investment. Agreed? Bynum is a riskier bet, but still nice to have if the alternative is say Blatche! LOL
BTW. KIRk, stop tripin… DHB has little trade value at this time. For what he gets paid we’d get little in return for a dump job on the heels of a DWI.I say let him earn his money here. He’s improved a lot and I feel has the POTENTIAL to play better.
May 11th, 2012 at 12:38 pm
I tell you what though….everybody better get up to Kobe’s level and close out on Sunday!
Ok, back to Raders football!
May 11th, 2012 at 12:38 pm
Kirk, dont know what the lobster claw reference means but he was grabbing a lot…
May 11th, 2012 at 12:41 pm
in this years playoffs games Bynum is avg 18 points 11 boards and almost 2.5 blks on 54% shooting. That aint too shabby as the third option?
May 11th, 2012 at 12:41 pm
Bynum has work ethic….even if he has a cocky attitude. He has worked his azz off though several knee injuries, and has put the extra work in, even working with KAJ.
People have questioned how seriously Howard takes his job, and how much he is really willing to work at it. Doesn’t mean he will not have success, just means he may not fit in with a guy like Kobe. With that talent, and limited work ethic, he could still win titles….Shaq did.

I hope the kid we signed as a free agent who only played HS football then college hoops turns into a bonafide player at TE or the kid Carrier. Man I miss having Zach Miller! Last year was a banner year for tight ends and while i liked the Boss signing when it happened… all year his hands were suspect, and not much wiggle after the catch unless it was a fake FG

The Jets have drafted a nice O line, D Brick, the center from Ohio st pro bowler,and Revis, They got Revis late in the first. Hopefully Clinks will do well for the Raiders.

Comparing Keuchly to Burris (as some have) Keuchly socres better than Burris in the 40 and a few of the other drills at the combine..but…he is not seen as a pass rusher and more of a sideline to sideline tackler (according to nfln).
Thing is with the loss of Wimbley, Burris can fill the need to fill that role, seeing as he IS known to be a pressure linebacker…The pick fills the NEED we had in that area.
Not to say Burris doesn’t rank well as a “cover guy’ too…just not his strength.
May 11th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
Ok pick 14 isnt late but it isnt like using a 3rd or 4th overall, there were a lot of duds drafted ahead of Revis including… JaMarcus Russell…
May 11th, 2012 at 1:11 pm
Well, Wimbley wasnt exactly a cover guy either lol..

I’m with you guys on both your posts.
I can see Palmer throwing the ball to Criner…he catches it instead of catching it in his mid-section and kicking his knees up (for some unknown reason) and knocking it out.
May 11th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
7th round or undrafted LBers don’t turn into beasts.
There’s a reason those are called “highlight” reels. They don’t show the 1,500 plays where he was out of position, blown up, or disappeared in the trash.
Most of you are level-headed. Just weird seeing some of you jumping out of your shoes, like some do every single year, about how we STOLE some low rounder.

I’ve read where Baltimore was big on wanting Burris. Not enuff to take him in the first and 2nd rounds…
You won’t hear them fess up and say “Dang…it was a good draft for us but at the end of the day we missed out on Burris”.
But…for a team that values their lb’s as much as Baltimore…and they seem to know a thing or two about them…it speaks well.

But it seems ALL of our D had those negative things happen to them last year, while Gio at least flashed some positives.
So it’s all relative. Relative to most guys I saw out there last season, Gio is one I’d keep as a backup over many of the rest.
I’ll take a 1:7 good ratio over the zeroes I saw.

Henry will probably stick as the 3rd-string option at FS and SS.
Giordano is a solid 2nd string FS. Familiar with Dennis Allen, good veteran presence in the locker room, tries hard and is instinctive enough to make some plays here and there.
The Raiders couldn’t find any better option at 2nd string FS if they tried. In fact, most teams couldn’t.

==================
You could ask the same question of 90% of backup players in the NFL. Backups are backups. You sign them because they’re familiar with the system, have some special teams value, can mentor younger players, etc.. They’re not the kind of players who are priority signings. And if your team’s starting lineup is mostly set and you have enough draft picks to find a young player at the position, the need for a journeyman’s presence on the roster is diminished. This is why they bounce around the league.
The Raiders weren’t in position to draft a contributor at FS this year, so they stuck with Giordano. Before Oakland, he played for 3 seasons with the Colts and played for Dennis Allen with the Saints.
Doesn’t matter if the dude is 5′10 or 6′3. A 6′3 player can have all the same limitations Giordano does, and may not even manage to pick off a single “errant throw”.
May 11th, 2012 at 2:02 pm
Yeah, you “seen” that by a guy who was clearly coming undone. Because I didn’t like Al Davis, I have to be a niner fan. It’s how he copes with people not liking his chosen deity. He assumes them to be fans of other teams. I even told him the Niners would not have a winning record this year, and that Harbaugh was a flash in the pan. He still thinks I’m a Niner fan. There’s not a Niner fan on the planet that would say that. They love Jim Harbaugh more than their own kids.

Wait, Andrew Walter? The QB who the Patriots coaches said that everytime he dropped back his mechanics were so bad they didn’t even know where to start and cut him?
==============================================
I remember reading some Patriots offensive coach (might’ve been Bill O’Brien) saying Walter did at least eight things wrong every single dropback. I didn’t even know a quarterback DID eight things on a standard dropback.
This is what running for your life with the horrid Shell/Walsh gameplan and behind the Slate/Eatman disaster of an OL will do to a promising prospect.
May 11th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
Everyone knows that. That’s why the clownish, loudmouth Raider fans get no respect, anywhere. Everyone laughs as soon as they walk in.
May 11th, 2012 at 2:11 pm
GG said that Walter “failed” in New England, as if he’d been given the opportunity. Brady is New England’s definitive QB for like the next 30 years. Walter failed at what, holding the clipboard?
_________________________________________________
The Patriots released Andrew Walter back in September of last season because he was too big of a project, according to Yahoo’s Jason Cole.”It was like six things [Walter] was doing wrong on every play,” a Patriots source told Cole. “It was impossible to coach him because there was too much to correct.” In other words, the Raiders didn’t do anything to develop the former third-round pick. Walter was out of football all of last season.

Dakota you’re just mad that Romney’s going to lose no matter how high gas prices are. Gas prices can go up to 10 dollars a gallon, Obbama will still win. That’s how unlikeable Romney is. I can’t even get you to mention Romney, let alone show him support. It’s like pulling teeth. Because he annoys you just as much as he does me. Those guys never win the presidential race.

Since you think he doesn’t belong, I welcome you to try to find a clearly better player who the Raiders should sign as their backup FS. One who doesn’t have the flaws that Giordano does.
Hell, find a player on another team’s roster who is a 2nd stringer and presents a clear upgrade from Giordano.
Different teams look for different skill sets out of their players. Since the Raiders re-signed Giordano, and since Allen was the Saints’ secondary coach when he signed there, I think it’s safe to assume that Giordano does something well enough for Allen to want him around. For the Raiders’ needs, and for the role Giordano is going to play on this Raiders team, there really isn’t a better fit out there.
For me? I’m more concerned with how Michael Huff is going to perform than I am with how Matt Giordano is going to perform.

Remember the other day when you were talking about Dick Morris?
You know what he said the other day? The election will not even be close….Romney in a landslide. Said all of these polls in swing states that show a close race, like, say 47-47 with 6% undecided, really means Romney is up 53-47 because the undecided vote never goes to the incumbent.
You said the other day that he was one of the guys who knows what he is talking about…..so what do you think of that?

True. Say what you want about our current POTUS, but the man is a formidable campaigner (he and Kennedy are probably 1-2 all-time, with Clinton and Reagan right behind).
That’s why Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, Mitch Daniels, Bobby Jindal, Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, etc. are sitting out. Better to wait four years and go against either Hillary (who will be approaching 70) or someone else who would be a lesser campaigner.

==================
Because the Broncos had Brian Dawkins and drafted Rahim Moore in the 2nd round.
I’d love for the Raiders to have a perennial All-Pro on the roster, and enough ammunition in the draft to take a top prospect at the position. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
For the Raiders’ needs? Giordano is the best fit. There isn’t another free agent FS who represents a clear upgrade at the position. And if you look around the league? Few 2nd string safeties will end up being anything more than what Matt Giordano is.
May 11th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
I also said even he (Morris) won’t be able to help Obbama. Dakota, I know you’re one of those people that watches cable news, let me try to help you. These guys are paid to shill for their party, make everything seem on the up and up. When I said Morris was genius I meant as a strategist.

May 11th, 2012 at 2:33 pm
When it comes to signing street free agents for backup positions, it works a lot like the late rounds of the draft do.
Who is a “better player”? Impossible to say objectively. Comes down to the needs of your team and the preferences of the coaching staff.
Certain players have the qualities that certain coaching staffs are looking for. Clearly Giordano has done enough thus far in his career to earn an invite to camp with the Raiders this season. If he doesn’t crack the roster, that’s a good sign – it means other players on the roster are stepping up.
But I don’t see so much depth on this team that it would make bringing Giordano to camp a bad move. Instead, I see a distinct lack of depth. That makes Giordano a potentially valuable piece for Dennis Allen.

I have no problem with him being invited back to camp.
Making the roster is where the problem lies.
And we cant make the statement that Giordano was their preference just cuz he was brought back.
There could have been better players who signed to backup else where because of a better opportunity to play.
We could have been turned down by many a better player.
May 11th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
And Dawkins health and the fact he hasnt played at a All Pro level in years means that couldnt have been a factor in not bringing in a player of Giordano’s ‘caliber’

The only way Romney could win, is if those tea party types hit the streets hard and flat out scare Americans into voting Republican. You’re already hearing the rhetoric. Ted Nugent, etc. “I’ll be dead or in jail if Obamma wins”. He’s threatening anarchy, and he’s not speaking for himself. I don’t put anything past those hard core right wingers.

It’s also why Lyndon LaRouche, Alan Keyes and others in past elections who have stuck on the ballot long after the nominee has been decided have done comparatively well. You could put Jack the Ripper up against the nominee and get 20%.

Occupy and anonymous represent something that the owners of this country always feared, an unapologetic left becoming mainstream. An apologetic left is fine. Those are essentially your fence riders that are in the Democratic party. They’re left leaning, but whenever they’re put in their place, they move back to the center. An unapologetic leftist movement is making its way into mainstream America, and those in power are doing everything they can to stop it by utilize a huge police presence, and having the media discount them as bums.

Wilson, Coleman, Pool, and Smith have the same limitations that Giordano does. Not good in run support, and can let receivers get behind them at times.
Page is out of football. Signed to a minor league contract with the Dodgers.
Bigby got a $2.5 million deal with the Chargers. He is also injury-prone, and more of a SS than FS.
Sanders I might agree on – but he was cut by the Patriots, and the Falcons didn’t bring him back. So by your logic, how is he much different than Giordano?

Dakota, don’t take my word for it. Next time Occupy shows up anywhere, observe the police response. Usually police just show up to demonstrations to keep an eye on things, make sure they don’t get out of hand. As soon as they hear of an Occupy protest, they’re there in riot gear, ready to crack heads. That’s no movie, Dakota. That’s real life.

It’s nice to hear that you have it all figured out Sully. You know what’s dangerous and ruining this country? People like you who seem incapable of thinking for themselves. Just go out and parrot your party’s talking points. Obbama is 100% right and Romney is 100% wrong. I guess the old adage is true, “if you hear something often enough it becomes reality.” Here’s a thought. Think for yourself. Develop your own ideas and strategies.

If representing people means a Federal Government hand out… He would be opposed.

May 11th, 2012 at 3:45 pm
lol. When did I ever say Obbama’s 100% right? Obamma is a centrist puppet. But in my opinion he’s better than Romney. Obamma went into politics because he watched his mother die of cancer while her health insurer tried to leave her the bill for her medication. He watched his mother spend her dying days fighting with them. If you think I’m brainwashed for believing that, then think what you want to. He has no reason to lie about it. Mitt Romney went into politics to protect rich people like his daddy. These are two different men. Obamma’s been corrupted by a money controlled political party that pretends to be leftist but he’s better than the guy who went into politics shilling for power.

Len,
Are founders only wrote the constitution to protect us from the British. only white male property owners were considered. Blacks weren’t even considered human beings by the founding fathers. So save me the constitution argument. That’s becoming as tired of a card as any “race card”. It’s the white man’s race card, when you think about it. Even black people who should be pointing to the constitution when harassed by police rarely do it. They can’t without choking on the hypocrisy. They know it wasn’t written for them, and still doesn’t apply to them today. Who does it apply to? Easy answer. Who brings it up the most?

Really, doesn’t seem to centrist to me. All I’m saying is that if you think that either of those guys are the answer; I would ask that you dig deeper.

And Paul is wrong on federal assistance. His family owned a dairy farm, hence, he didn’t need welfare. Believe me a lot of people would have liked to own a dairy farm when Paul was growing up, which was during the Great Depression if I’m not mistaken. A lot of people were on the street when Paul was a kid. His family owned a dairy farm. So, he was well off. By a long shot. He does not relate to those who need welfare, and neither do his supporters. They live in a bubble when it comes to the welfare argument. They can’t fathom ever being in a situation where they needed it, because they’ve never been in one. They’ve always had relatives to turn to in rough times. Many don’t. And no kid deserves to go hungry. Ron Paul and his supporters simply don’t understand that, at all. That’s why I could never join them.

That’s true. I don’t like the Monkey, and most of the time I disagree with his opinions, but he is not ignorant.
May 11th, 2012 at 4:03 pm
Freddie B,
Obamma may be controlled by power now, but he did not go into politics for power. His life story is remarkable and I don’t think it’s fabricated. He got into politics around the same time his mother died of cancer. It adds up. This man cares, genuinely, about making sure neither you or I ever have to watch a relative spend their dying days duking it out with health insurers. If you don’t want the help, fine. But stay out of the way of those who need it, because there are a lot of them.
the reasons Obamma went into politics are far more noble than that of Romney’s. Romney went into politics because he couldn’t understand how so many hippies hated America when America (and his daddy’s money) have been so good to him. Seems all Republicans went into politics because they simply are afraid with those who have less than them.

May 11th, 2012 at 4:08 pm
Freddie B, if your only argument against Obamma is based on cynicism, I can deal with that. I don’t think Obamma is power hungry. I think he was recruited, like Reagan was in the ’60s, to the Republican party. James Garner of the rockford files told a story on one of the late night talk shows once. Some Republican operatives called him and asked him if he wanted to join the Republican party, campaign for them, etc. He told them no, and that he’s a Democrat. A week later, Reagan announces he’s switching parties, becoming a Republican.

Freddie B, I don’t mind your cynicism. It’s understandable. The country is unraveling and cynicism is the least of anyone’s sins. But if you can’t even recognize that Obamma went into politics for far more noble reasons than Mitt Romney, I think you just have an ax to grind against Obamma. It’s clear, obvious. It’s documented. he went into politics when his mother died. Romney went into politics to help rich people like his dad.

I think Lucas Nix and Aaron Henry stand the best chance to make the squad.
Dom Hamilton will likely be a practice squad player, but the DT position needs depth. He could end up competing for the final DT spot on the roster with Travis Ivey and Christo Bilukidi.
WR Derek Carrier and LB Kaelin Burnett are two sleepers to make the team, but they also will likely be practice squad candidates.

I would leave Sacramento if I could afford to. I can’t. I’m stuck here. Sacramento is surrounded by right wingers. I’d live in LA or the bay area if I could afford to. You live in the bay area, and obviously you don’t live in the poorer areas because you’d get your ass kicked routinely for your views, so that means you could afford to leave. How sad. I wish I had your money, bruh. I’d be gone. Bye, Sac. Forget your hick mentality and your miserable summer weather.

Companies are out for a profit, not to give jobs. There is not one living wage job outside of management in the entire free world that can’t be somewhat attributed to government intervention. If you take government out of the picture, we’re all mopping floors at Wal Mart. Either Ron Paul knows that and doesn’t care, or he needs to stick to medicine.

The last time we had anything approaching this kind of makeover was Gruden’s second year (1999) At least 3 UDFAs (Scott Dreisbach, Sam Sword and Marcus Ray) all made the roster.
That was also the year that linebacker KD Williams came out of nowhere to make the roster as the starting SLB, then his play decreased week-by-week until Gruden cut him in week 9. I always wondered if maybe he didn’t get caught with steroids or something, and cycling off them killed his athleticism.

Hot Shot,
After 30 minutes of searching I have found no evidence to indicate 80% of our troops support Ron Paul for President. I did see a campaign ad, sponsored by a PAC supporting Ron Paul, that our troops support him in high numbers.
Ron Paul has some great ideas such as ducking out of foreign affairs, pulling our military out of foreign countries, and terminating the war in Afghanistan immediately. I, however propose an even more radical cure, which is to charge any country for which we give military aid and advice the cost of same. Therefore Japan would owe us money, Europe would owe us money, South Korea would owe us money: the list goes on. I really have no problem with military actions so long as the beneficiary pays us.
The ultimate problem is, Ron Paul is a fringe candidate and won’t be elected.

True. POTUS may have run as a Socialist bomb-thrower, but he’s actually governed only slightly to the left of Ronald Reagan, and arguably to the right of Bush Sr.
May 11th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Sullivan44,
It is true when you say the Consitution was written in favor of property owners to protect their rights against taxation and other detrimental measures put forth and enforced by King George.
But you fail to recognize that in the 13 colonies, during the civil war era when the Constitution was written, there was almost no middle class. Majority of the population was illiterate. Also slavery was the norm, though rejected for the most part by Europe at the time. The colonial army G. Washington led was raised and financed by Washington and other weathly individuals as there was no national government or integrating taxation scheme that could raise taxes to finance an army. My question for you is: if the rich had not written the Constitution and raise arms against the British, who would have done so? Certainly not the poor. So we can be thankful to them.
You can’t validly judge those framers to today’s standards since today’s standards were totally inapplicable with those worldwide standards of the time.
That is the fatal flaw in your argument.
Also, the Bill of Rights was insisted upon and added by certain framers (1st – 10th Amendments) to protect the peoples’ and states’ rights. The framers also allowed for the amendment process which gave us Amendments 11 – 27. The Amendment process allowed Amendments so that the 7 Articles and Bill of Rights could be changed to suit the times. The framers were well aware that the Constitution was a blue print and not a legal code. Flexibility was the main issue.
As far as you remaining in Sacramento in opposition to your expectations: that is ridiculous. I was born and raised in a small farming community 45 miles north of Sacto, and more redneck than Sacto. The KKK was a fixture in our fine little city. I went away to attend UCLA at age 17 and never looked back. The only thing holding your back is yourself.

Right Wing Noise Machine convinves these people, that handouts to the poor ( black poor) is what caused the destruction of the middle-class. Instead of their out-sourcing of jobs and union-busting, and tax breaks. For the rich.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I agree with your statement.
However, there is an entire class, mainly the so-called “black poor”, several generations, who have been lost due to government assistance which basically taught that particular class how to make money from not working.
You can call me a racist, but it not true. Handing out money and resources for nothing is a killer; when a set of fancy rims and tires cost more than the down payment on a house; when banging is a way of life, when education and hard work are to be shirked, indulgence by that class will be fatal as is the case now.
We can’t legislate away racism; one can hate blacks, latins, asians or whites: it’s perfectly legal. Under the the law, equity between the races exists. Now is the time to quit whining and crying and just go to work for change.
The main thing is, nobody popped out of his/her momma’s womb with a guaranteed contract “that everything will be alright forever.”
The world is a tough and lonely place; now deal with it.

No one will take anyone seriously with an intractable attitude and beliefs either liberal or conservative:
i.e. both John Edwards and George Bush, Jr. are both despicable human beings. Just admit it Mista, there is little difference between the two polar opposites.

______
I spent the last two years of high school in a daze, locking away the questions that life seemed insistent on imposing. I kept playing basketball, attended classed sparingly, drank beer heavily, and tried drugs enthusiastically. I discovered that it didn’t make any difference if you smoked reefer in the white class mates sparkling new van, or in the dorm room with some brother you’d met down at the gym, or on the beach with a couple of Hawaiian kids who had dropped out of school and now spent most of their time looking for an excuse to brawl.

Obamma relates to a lot of Americans. Far more than Romney does. Obamma became overwhelmed by responsibility while facing problems at home, turned to drugs and alcohol. I don’t condone it or wish it on anyone, but that story relates to the average American more than Romney’s does. Romney: Dad was rich. When I got to college, I hated those hippies who talked about about my daddy. So I decided to something about them.
May 11th, 2012 at 7:42 pm
Keep quoting Obamma’s book. It relates to Americans far more than Romney’s story. Obamma is the has truly lived the American dream. He went from nothing to president. Romney was born into the American dream, and wants to make sure only a precious few experience it. The rest can wash his car.

Hot Shot and RaiderDuck,
I think the people have the discretion to recognise candidates. The major hurdle the Republicans must overcome is the advocacy of the return to primitivism.
Let’s go back to Happy Days when everything was fine and everyone was making money.
Now it seems there is a war against women, a war to reduce taxes on the rich, a war to expand the 1st Amendment establishment and free excercise clause, a war to abate enviromental protections, a war to re-institute “gasoline” as King, a war to re-militarize, especially in the Middle East, and perpetration of a myth that reducing Big Government will solve our financial ills. (It is interesting that JPMorganChase lost over $2B the first quarter trading in risk (credit default swaps) which principally caused the current downturn due to government de-regulation of such instruments.
The Democrats on the other hand: seek to re-distribute wealth to non-productive “lower classes” who are still capable of fending for themselves, while largely ignoring the helpless; seek to expand and not reduce government; have little concern for the budget deficit; seek to protect unionized labor, mainly public employee unions whose unfair pension liability threaten to bankrupt the country.
Both parties are guilty of small thinking partisan politics and not realizing the gravity of the US economic status which is the greatest threat to national security. Neither party has a clue as how to ignite our economy. As I stated earlier, America is now a poor relative of a once fabuously wealthy family (ourselves), prying up the floorboards in our ruined mansion looking for something to sell. Most manufacturing went to China and we have little sell. The so-called “job creators” (ergo Steve Jobs) created millions of jobs, but all in China.
The true salvation lies in development of technology and not polictics. As soon as we discover an invent a never-dreamt-before techology, which leads to development of new major industries to employ millions of Americans, we will be fine.
Until then we are stuck with the hacks and politicos, and going nowhere.

I was out of town for a few days, so I’m scrolling thru this topic and he’s here posting his gibberish early in the AM until about 9:30am, then disappears for a few hours to feverishly dream about attractive cousins. Then a known sockpuppet appears at 1:29pm, spouting the same business of the morning rant.. followed shortly by the Marshall himself who then double posts giving up ANOTHER sockpuppet name. Did he have another bad experience with the dating service? The old trick of demanding a BJ when the salad is served just never seems to work, does it? Does mom know whats going on in the basement today? Questions, questions..

O,
What would be an acceptable salary to you for Shane Lechler’s services?
May 12th, 2012 at 10:58 am
$2.5!
May 12th, 2012 at 11:00 am
Jano scores points, and can kick a 65 yard FG. Lechler is a great kicker, but his services are wasted on our defense.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:01 am
First, many of the Division 1 teams players get ranked because they sponsor the magazines and writers who rank them. Second; when Shane was coming in as a rookie, he had set the NCAA record for career punting average as a collegiate (44.7 yards), while at Texas A&M. So explain to me how this affects his ability in the NFL? 44.7-43.3 = 1.4 yard difference in average and this does nothing to take into consideration field position. Since you researched enough to know his average is “not great” can you tell me where he was kicking the ball from? How many times did he pin it in the 20? Sometimes it is more important to pin your opponent than it is to get distance and that will bring your average down.
Here is some research on King 21 out of his 60 kicks were pinned down inside the 20. So with 35% of his kicks pinning the opponent inside the 20 it shows he not only can kick it far but he is accurate.
Even if King is “good and not great” I would rather have a good punter with $4M in cap space for other positions that see the field more than 80 plays a season.
The other thing that separates King is the hang time; the average NFL kicker is 4.6 seconds hang time while King routinely gets 5.2 or better hang time.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:01 am
I don’t think we will get Shane down to there, but I can see them shaving him back around the 3.1 – 3.3 range.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:01 am
Our defense needs playmakers. Players that make impact plays, get sacks, or get TOs.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:01 am
^^ I got that from a website. Not that I think Lechler will get cut but King is not a bad punter either.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:03 am
I can go up to $3, if we didn’t have cap issues.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:04 am
King wasn’t even All-Conference in his crappy D-II division.
So whatever he was doing, didn’t really impress the teams he was playing against.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:08 am
Sorry, honorable mention his junior year, WAS SIAC all-conference his senior year.
His 43.3 average was his senior year though, 41.8 for his career.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:10 am
We should look to bring in this Taylor Accardi kid next year, lol. 48.55 per punt, now THAT can get me excited!!

————————————-
Yep. With Gannon we always knew what we were getting. Just watch that video and look at how every time he threw a TD he walked back to the sideline mad that he didnt throw it more perfect. The guy will never go down as one of the greats, but while he played with us, he played at a HOF level. I got a serious man-crush on Gannon and im not afraid to admit it. We’ve never had anything close til Palmer. The Hos was good when he was healthy, Jeff George put up numbers, and Marinovich had all the talent in the world but boy oh boy did we really bring a lotta knives to gun fights when Jeff George ranks as one of our notable QB’s of the last 25 years.
Palmer has a lil of that Gannon “Im always pissed off” look too him. I have high hopes for CP these coming years.
Raider O,
Yes, our D needs playmakers, but dont get all Steve Corky on us. Cork is a tool who doesnt know jack.
The only guys on a defense that can independently take over a game are DE’s. And we cant afford any impact ones anyways, even if we did cut Lechler. Every other “impact” type defensive player either isnt available or doesnt exist for the simple fact that most guys rely pretty heavily on a competent scheme to be successful in. With exception to the rare Deion Sanders’ of the world. Even impact guys like Palomalu and Ed Reed have great defenses playing in front of them.
Show me how we can improve our defensive line in a big way by dumping SL and I will get on board with the movement, until then, I cant support such a move.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:14 am
How about we just dont punt 25 times a game.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:16 am
Now this Accardi kid who averaged 5 more yards a punt than Marquette King, has some serious credentials.
He will probably be drafted next year.

How many punters in the HOF?
==========================================
Four, actually (although some may be notable for more than just punting):
Sammy Baugh (1937-52)
George Blanda (1949-58; 1960-75)
Lou “the Toe” Groza (1946-59; 1961-67)
Paul Hornung (1957-62; 1964-66)
May 12th, 2012 at 11:18 am
Is he still available Vegas?
May 12th, 2012 at 11:19 am
Maybe we should cut Palmer,McFadden,DHB,Kelly,Seymour,McClain,Shane,and Jano so we can save some cash so we can go and sign a bunch of players who probably won’t even make the final 53.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:20 am
“Accardi led all conferences in the nation in punting average at more than three yards longer per punt than the next punter in the statistical rankings.
The Preseason Special Teams Player of the Year for the conference, as well as a Preseason Honorable Mention All-American from the Consensus Draft Services, Accardi posted 26 punts of 50 yards or more during the season, including 15 that were downed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. He posted punts of 84 and 88 yards on the season and holds a 44.6 yards per punt average through 32 career games.”
****************************
84 and 88 yard punts??? 3 more yards per punt than anyone else in the country??
Now THAT is someone that might be able to push Shane.
I will have the kid as my 7th round pick in the next years mock, lol. It is etched in stone.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:21 am
O,
Only a junior.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:21 am
Baugh was a QB!
Blanda was a backup QB!
Paul was a HB!
May 12th, 2012 at 11:22 am
Hey D-II punters talk may not be that riveting, but it beats the Sockpuppet Army, no?
May 12th, 2012 at 11:22 am
Lefty,
No no! Just Lechler!
May 12th, 2012 at 11:22 am
Sigh.. I opened the paper today and there was a big artical on the 9ers camp on the front page… Get off your lazy azzes guys! Fk!
May 12th, 2012 at 11:23 am
Dude,
I rather talk about SL and a D2 Punter over reading some of the crap from last night.

Yes, but they also punted. You asked how many punters were in the HoF. All four were their teams’ primary punters at one point or another.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:25 am
I am all about value, and the vaunted Value Over Replacement stuff.
So if we can get 75% the punter of Shane, for 25% the price, I am all ears.
I just think it will have to wait for next year.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:27 am
Duck,
Nice try. lol
Baugh is HOF QB who punted too.
Hornung is a HOF HB who played defense and kicked too.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:28 am
There are no good free agents left.. Why cut lec now? Seems pointless
May 12th, 2012 at 11:29 am
I hear Ray Guy needs some money.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:30 am
Vegas,
Thank you. That’s all I’m saying. I knew a guy like you will understand.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:32 am
Whats wrong with our reporters..
May 12th, 2012 at 11:33 am
5.5 million for a punter is not good value. Is it a thorn in our side and a salary-cap killer? Not really, but I can see why a new regime would want to clean that up a little.
Draft Taylor Accardi, lol!!!!!!

Isn’t Osi Umenyora still out there?
May 12th, 2012 at 11:37 am
Especially if we plan on hanging up close to 30 points a game, and controlling the clock with a strong running game.

It’s about 5% of your total cap. On a punter?
May 12th, 2012 at 11:42 am
Osi is under contract with the Giants, but he is available for trade according to the media.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:42 am
We’re talking Raider football at 967theeagle.net right now.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:43 am
…as opposed to Raider basketball.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:44 am
Osi for what? 3.5 mil? I dont think he’d take it..

Like I said, not good “value” and out of whack.
But at least for his $5 million you get the best at the position, it’s just not that important of a position. So it is not a salary-cap killer, like these long term deals to these scrubs we have signed in years past (Wimbley, Routt, Gibril, Hall, Javon, Jamarcus, etc.)

Lechler AND restructure Tyvon would get it done.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:46 am
Vegas,
11 starters on Defense + 11 on Offense = 22 starters. Forget Ks, Ps, Condo, and the rest of the 53 man roster. 100%/ 22= Same % for Lechler.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:46 am
Or Raider Dodgeball or Twiddly-Winks!
May 12th, 2012 at 11:47 am
Cap Killer IMO.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:51 am
“Killer”??
Really? I agree with everything you said but that.
Especially since he is only signed for this season at that salary.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:52 am
People complaining about the salary of the best Punter in history?……… Wow.
May 12th, 2012 at 11:55 am
A guy who dominates the field position game?
May 12th, 2012 at 11:56 am
Killer when we can’t improve our CBs and improve our pass rushers. All we can afford is 2 CBs who didn’t play last season, a backup DE from the Giants and it’s not Osi, and a LB from the Colts!
May 12th, 2012 at 11:57 am
I think some blog monkeys don’t understand the subtleties of the game.
May 12th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
With a defense like ours, and this guy can put the ball at the other end of the field?
May 12th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
I rather have a PB CB like A Samuels over Lechler for the same cap hit.
May 12th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
KK,
Do you think The Reggie will re-sign Shane next offseason at anywhere near the annual salary Al gave Shane?
I think Lechler will be lucky to be offered 75% of what he currently makes.
May 12th, 2012 at 12:02 pm
No punter deservers that much.. Needs to restructure & extend his deal. But we shounldnt cut him..

Man! The season needs to get here quick. Next you will be looking up the 40 and salary on the guy that runs the pictures from the printer to the Qb.
It is what it is. We will address other positions and salaries next season.
May 12th, 2012 at 12:11 pm
Dude punts the ball from deep in our own territory and pins them back deep in their own territory. With a defense like ours, that’s important.
May 12th, 2012 at 12:11 pm
I am going to channel my internal Mistic1 here, and declare that I wouldn’t trade Gallinari straight up for Carmelo.
