Criner puts on a show at OTA
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, May 15th, 2012 at 12:19 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Practice quick hits, sent for insidebayarea.com . . .
For a day anyway, Juron Criner looked like 2012 version of Denarius Moore.
It was a year ago that Moore , a fifth-round draft pick out of Tennessee , began impressing his Raiders coaches and teammates with his playmaking skills. He carried it on through training camp and an excellent rookie season, catching 33 passes for 618 yards and a team-high five touchdowns.
Criner, the second of two fifth-round picks out of Arizona , came 20 spots later than Moore at 168. He was the standout of a nearly full-squad organized team activity session, catching at least six passes during team sessions _ some of them of the spectacular variety.
“It’s been a learning process for him,’’ coach Dennis Allen said following practice. “I think he every day he gets a little bit better. He’s learning more what to do. I was pleased with the way he practiced today. It’s not a whole lot different than what we saw on tape in college. That’s what we expect of him.’’
The last of Criner’s big plays came on a sideline throw by Terrelle Pryor that carried between 55 and 60 yards in the air, with cornerback Pat Lee the victim.
On a 50-yard heave from Carson Palmer into the end zone, Criner beat the coverage of DeMarcus Van Dyke and safety Tyvon Branch with a tumbling catch that brought hoots and shouts from his teammates.
On a fairly basic route over the middle, Criner somehow stopped himself to reach back and catch a Pryor pass that had been thrown behind him.
– Full speed ahead for Darren McFadden, who participated fully in drills and team sessions without restrictions.
“We want him to be healthy,’’ Allen said. “We want him to be able to stay healthy and we want to do everything we can to keep him that way.’’
– The biggest defensive play came when a Palmer pass bounced off the hands of Rashawn Jackson and then was juggled among several defenders until Aaron Curry held on to it and ran into the end zone for a touchdown.
– The Raiders employed exclusively a four-man line during defensive team sequences, with Allen saying three-man fronts will be added later
“You can’t throw everything at ‘em at one time,’’ Allen said.
– Allen’s style during the first full-team session open to the media was to stay fairly detatched, letting his coaches do the coaching while he often stands off alone as an observer.
“I believe as a head coach, ultimately you’re in charge of the product tha goes out on the field,’’ Allen said. “But part of being the head coach is you want to hire good people. You want to declare your expectations, what you expect out of them and then you want to get out fo the way and let them work.
“That’s kind of my style and that’s what I’ll do but I’m a coach at heart and I’ll get my hands dirty when I need to.’’
– Tight end David Ausberry is noticeably bigger in the upper body as he grows into his position. A converted wide receiver last season, Ausberry made one difficult catch in traffic and appears not to have lost any of the agility that makes him a tough matchup.
Allen said he expected Ausberry to be deployed as a receiving tight end this season but the bulk was necessary for blocking purposes.
— Among those players who were not present included defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who normally does not attend OTA sessions, and middle linebacker Rolando McClain, who is dealing with legal issues relating to the misdemeanor charge of illegal discharge of a firearm in Alabama .
Also not present was safety Mike Mitchell, who Allen said has a knee issue. Kickers Shane Lechler and Sebastian Janikowski also were not in Alameda .
Among those players who were present but not practicing were center Stefen Wisniewski, who had shoulder procedure following the season, Allen said, and right guard Mike Brisiel, who has a minor hamstring strain.
Alex Parsons played with the first team at center in Wisniewski’s absence, with Zach Hurd getting some reps at right guard with Cooper Carlisle moving to the left side.
Travis Goethel got most of the first-team snaps at middle linebacker in place of McClain, with Curry moving inside during one sequence.
– Rookie undrafted free agent wide receiver Thomas Mayo, who was having a difficult practice holding on to the ball, left drills and was limping.

ODB,
It’s a good way to generate extra income without having to get a 2nd job, or spend a lot on investments. 20-40 return on your investment is great. Great time to buy property too. Win win situation. You should try it, but you don’t like money. lol

You never know DMAC. Talk to your banker/ loan officer, and see what you can get (rate), how much down you need, then you can go from there, IF YOU are interested. You should do your own research, and talk to a few R/E people that invest and do business in different states.

May 15th, 2012 at 12:43 pm
B,
I agree D-Lee is a hack defensively.
However, if we had some guards who didn’t let the other backcourt get into the lane at will for 48 minutes, we wouldn’t have as much of a need for weak-side help from our #4.
But I am with you. Bogut is not an answer.

Our guard play will be better on defense…Klay can play D and curry will be forced to since Jenkins played well toward end of season…don’t forget we have full summer and real offseason
May 15th, 2012 at 12:49 pm
I hope TP makes me eat my words too.
I never said we should move him to TE before giving him some run at QB, but he is such a freak athlete, if you as an organization don’t think he is ever going to be a true starting QB, he has waaaaaay more value as a TE/WR than a backup QB.
I pray he clowns Leinart. If Leinart is the #2, I will have lumps in stomach everytime Palmer gets touched.

All indications on Wang are that he is a powerful run blocker and decent pass protector. Either way Barnes drawd too many penalties.
Wang got injured, and hopefully he re-emerges in OAK. Lets face it you can have 5 pro bwolers on the o-line, but we def need a RT more than anything else there.

Palmer threw into double coverage, and Criner made a great catch to save him.
*************************
With Soup, this was my problem, that he never took chances and didn’t force the issue when we really needed too. At times it worked, Ford/KC game; D-Moore/Buff, but we just never could get dude to “let it rip”.
Palmer is on the flip side. We can’t tone him down from thinking he can convert EVERY 3rd and 13 by riffling a ball into a tiny window.
He needs to to downshift on occasion. Our biggest obstacle to overcome this year offensively, because no doubt this is a top 5 offense as far as yardage will go.
May 15th, 2012 at 12:57 pm
If the below 2 things happen, raiders win 11-12 games:
Penalties at a “normal” rate 3-4 a game, not 11-14
Defense aorund middle of pack in YPG
*Offense improves with ball security and Special teams does its thing as usual.
May 15th, 2012 at 12:58 pm
I disagree on defense about Kendall Marshall…but he can’t shoot for sure right now…but hey you can have steph for one more year then if he doesn’t get it right….draft that big head lightskin kid from Mizzou…he can shoot play D and pass and will play thru injury…I forgot his name

According to Cork, Leinart is the inside favorite for QB#2 and it’s his job to lose to Pryor.
+++++++++
and he will lose, and cork will be wrong with his assessment of TP being moved to another postion, or not playing QB….
May 15th, 2012 at 12:59 pm
Leinart is the inside favorite for QB#2 and it’s his job to lose to Pryor.

I am confident he will lose it if that’s what needs be
May 15th, 2012 at 12:59 pm
if not Leinart, we could have went after other scrub QB’s for the vet minimum:
Donovan McNabb, Jeff Garcia, Dennis Dixon, A.J. Feeley, Luke McCown, Kevin O’Connell or Kyle Boller
I’m fine with Leinart!
(as long as he EARNS a job and is not on any sort of Knapp scholarship)
May 15th, 2012 at 1:00 pm

May 15th, 2012 at 1:00 pm
Trouble is if GK downshifts CP3 to be a checkdown machine. I hope that’s not gonna happen. Palmer throws a pretty deep ball. But his decision making needs to find that balance hopefully Knapp provides.
May 15th, 2012 at 1:01 pm

*************************
Not sucking up to you, but cuzzo has a place in this league if he can clean up the ball-handling a little.
W’s need a defensive minded, leader at the PG spot, who can hit the big shot, without needing 15 shots a game to be ready with 2 minutes left.
I think that is a FAIR analysis of Mr. Dixon.
May 15th, 2012 at 1:02 pm
You will never hear a Sicilian call himself Italian.

May 15th, 2012 at 1:03 pm
not true,but believe whatever you wish

@Lefty
where else did Leinart visit this offseason?
and who else offered him a contract?
saying Houston wanted him back is pure speculation and lacks reason. They could have signed him for the vet minimum 2 months before we did ..
May 15th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
@Meth ….
D-line will step-up but I think it will largley be in part to the scheme of the LB and Safeties movment behind them.
Allen likes a lot of pre-snap movment and looks from his multiple D …. Thats why I think all the LB’s will see success and in turn the D-line will focus on gap contorl, not just getting upfield.
McClain (although I bash him) might improve because he will be in charge of a smaller space….I think Curry will be a monster in Allen’s scheme.
May 15th, 2012 at 1:04 pm
I think Houston realized that they really didn’t need Linehart because of the play of TJ Yates!
May 15th, 2012 at 1:05 pm
I’m sure Palmer must be excited to have all these weapons…as g123 said….hope Knapp doesn’t change who he is but we can’t do deep routes all day but short passes better not be our staple

I don’t think you’ll see that. Palmer & Pryor are throwing balls 50+ yards downfield in practice

May 15th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Who would you want to see working with the lst teamers? 12 year veteran Richard Seymour or Cumbie, Hamilton and Ivey?
***
@ Seymour Bush
Big Sey isn’t working with anybody on the Raiders right now. He’s working out on his own, like he does every offseason and Dennis Allen signed off on it. It doesn’t matter who is working with the 1st, 2nd or 3rd teamers in a mid-May practice imo. late August let’s talk about that.
Seymour isn’t on scholarship. He’s not impossible to replace. Reggie was forced to either pay Seymour’s $7.5 million roster bonus, making his $15 million fully guaranteed this season – or kick him to the curb and take a $7.5 million cap hit, then try and find a suitable replacement. He restructured to save the team money against the salary cap, so good on him. more money in his pocket upfront anyways.
We can’t rely on Seymour to be healthy all 16 games at this stage in his career. It’ll be up to guys like Kelly, Bryant & Houston to fill the void inside when Dick isn’t around. Travis Ivey & Christo Bilikudi (sp?) are the favorites to stick as DT depth right now. Perhaps Dom Hamilton = sleeper?
May 15th, 2012 at 2:08 pm
HairyBush lol…if that’s the case I won’t get too nutso
May 15th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
DHB has been dropped to 4th on the depth chart, Thec?
He doesn’t at least get to start week one based on last year’s production????
Tough crowd, mayne!
May 15th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
HB,
Probably, but I like the kid a lot. He was the best value pick in the draft, and him and Burris are going to considered steals IMHO.

—————————————–
I would put our 5 WR set up against anyones in the league. Just way to much speed to cover, and Criner gets his separation with his physicality, like say an Anquan Boldin, who I think is a good comparison for Criner. Gonna be a lot of yards through the air this year, even with us being a “run first” team.

I will be happy as long as our starting wideouts are productive. I just think it is a little early to get the monster bonner. I’m not saying he can/can’t be our #2 guy let’s just watch a few preseason games 1st that’s all.
May 15th, 2012 at 2:19 pm
The last of Criner’s big plays came on a sideline throw by Terrelle Pryor that carried between 55 and 60 yards in the air, with cornerback Pat Lee the victim.

One fo Bilukidi’s highlights is him lined up at DT, and rushes the passer and then after the ball is released he flies back down the field and pushes a WR out of bounds 15 yard sodwn the field. His measureables are that of Dontari Poe, but he went in the 6th not the top 10 lol

no contact. DB’s are all basically brand spanking new to Tarver’s defense. JFB [blog GM] called our secondary a collective turd sandwich prior to the draft. If we don’t put some heat on the QB, our entire secondary may be nicknamed “toast”

============================================
Richard Seymour has played A LOT better than most of you give him credit for. The middle of the year last season he hurt his knee and was not practicing but still played in games. The lst half of the season and last four games he was dominant.
My point is having him here probably DETRACTS from the defense in you know what you have in Rich, we don’t know what we have in these others. Plus the fact that Rich was here for the voluntaries just a couple of weeks ago.

Mental Health
It would be easy to dismiss trolls as mentally ill. Easy and wrong. Most would not score significantly on mental illness assessments. But most are simply immature. Fair enough in a teenager, and they have a chance of growing out of it (though the longer they leave it, the harder they may find it to break the habit). But in adults, it’s simply sad.
Once upon a time, they would have been called ‘inadequate psychopaths’; attention seeking loners, forever feeling sorry for themselves, but too bone idle to lift themselves out of their self-selected mire. Some live in a fantasy world, and find it hard to concentrate on real life; they can’t make eye contact, and will say just about anything, frequently contradicting a previous statement.

Great if Criner could be another late round WR find for our team. First Moore becoming an unexpected surprise now Criner. Props to our scouting department. Our strongest unit would have another added piece.
Good to see positive reports about Pryor at QB. Competition at the #2 QB spot will just make the QB position stronger. We handed it to Boller and that was a mistake. Let these guys earn it. I think Leinert will be a good addition to our team. He’s already familiar with the system and knows his role behind Palmer. As for Pryor, I’m going to keep pushing for him to be used in Wildcat, option, roll out type of offense, especially in short yardage and goal line situations. Pryor could gain valuable experience while building his confidence at the QB position. He can be just as dangerous as Tebow or Newton or even better.
