Ausberry settling into TE role
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, May 31st, 2012 at 3:28 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Second-year player David Ausberry showed up this year packing on more weight, feeling more like a tight end and ready to compete for the vacancy created by the release of veteran Kevin Boss earlier this offseason.
Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp admits that there’s work to be done before he and the other coaches can feel confident about what they have at the tight end position.
However, Knapp and others are confident that Ausberry, Brandon Myers and Richard Gordon are talented enough to step into heightened roles, with Ausberry the leading candidate to assume the starting role.
Here’s what Ausberry, a converted wide receiver, had to say during a recent interview following an offseason practice:
How you feeling out there?
Everything feels great. With the new offense, we’re making a lot of progress everyday.
Do you feel like you are now really a tight end?
It certainly feels like it, with all the weights were doing and the playbook, it makes you feel like a real tight end.
Did you feel like that last year, or was it a transition year?
I guess you could look at it both ways. I was doing a lot of the same things last year, but now its pretty much hand in dirt. Theres also a lot of formations where I am split out wide and all that, but now it’s more about being a real tight end. It feels pretty good.
How much weight have you put on?
265 right now. Last year, I was about 250.
at the beginning of the year I was about 245 coming in.
You feel like you have lost any speed?
I don’t feel like I lost anything but that just comes with a lot of technique you got to know your opponent and be able to separate from people, and that’s what I am trying to do.
Was it easy putting weight on?
It wasn’t that hard if you’re lifting a lot. That’s pretty much what happened. Playing weight, I will probably be down to 258. I am trying to get more muscle in the upper body and trying to stay fit.
Carson Palmer has said nice things about you. Must feel nice to have the quarterback in your corner
It feels great. A vet like Carson, you always want a guy like that in your corner. It helps when you have some sort of relationship with the starting quarterback. You start to feel each other on the field and it helps a lot. I am just blessed to be in this position.
It seem wide open for you? As far as grabbing a starting job?
Yeah, thats what I am trying to do. If I get a chance to get out there, I will get it.
What things have you gotten better at since last year?
Recognizing defensive fronts. Coming from the outside back to the interior, you have to be aware of whats going on in front of you now.
Youre not reading too many safeties now.
Carson said seeing Terrell Owens push himself in offseason workouts (in LA) was good for the young guys. You agree, get a lot out of that?
Yeah, it is good. Somenbody like that, T.O. is a great player and to be in his presence and work out with him, it was great. He was passing on a lot of tips to us young guys

Looks like our O will have to keep us in a lot of games…
Does anybody see any playmakers stepping up on Defense?
Maybe a revitalized Huff? Bartel? Shaughnessy?

I bet your unibrow would look like that if you would stop shaving with moms Nair

Good for you Ausberry. I hope you can be a great TE. He has size (260) and speed.

I’d be surprised if this offense wasn’t top 5 in the league. Obviously, it all depends on how quickly everyone gets acclimated to the new play book/offense. Would be nice if Bergstrom (Who was scouted by Wisniewsk at Utah) can develop as fast as Veldheer did. New lineman addition through FA and I’m comfortable with what I see. Our WR’s are legit, DMAC (if healthy) is unstoppable and Palmer with this offseason, will be great.

Mike,
Don’t count on it, brah. DMAC is average against upper-tier, playoff bound teams, even though he ran right over several of the lowest tier non-playoff teams last year.
Beside that, he’ll be out soon. I predict “gone for the season with a hangnail injury” by, or before game 8.
After that Reggie will have had enough, and trade him.
Good luck with your delusions of grandeur, bub.

DMAC wants another huge payday and he wont get one unless he produces this year. Reggie will offer him John Condo money if Darren does not lace them up this year.
Actually I say the owners practice collusion all the time and right now they are all in agreement not to hand out big money to RB’s or so it seems.

I hope to see a multitude of screen plays for DMAC. Always liked how the Saints ran different looks/ personnel packages, especially when Bush was there. With that said, I hope one of our back up’s can perform well and limit DMAC’s carries but allow him more receiving opportunities. He needs to be healthy all year!!!

Dont you have some junk to sell, Fred?
I wonder if DMAC still holds a grudge. Remember in his first year when he was injured with turftoe he took the shot and reinjured himself.
I recall him not liking being “high”. Anyway back then I felt as if the Raider org or Lance or maybe even Knapp talked him into it, maybe pressured him into it. I always wondered if he has been pissed at anyone over that.
He rarely talks but he started off talking, remember yardbarker and him saying he likes to give his “dogs” lots of rest, especially in the offseason.
KK, you should take notes or take a nap. You have never brought anything to the blog close to the weak take I just came up with.

Blog Brahs, today was a HUGE day for the PM Party Patrol!
We initiated 7 awesome new gang members, bringing our total membership to 11
That’s 9 more members than KrappyRat and Peemore Bust have in their nerd gang
Defeat by blog rap wars should be swift and merciless. Then we’ll celebrate our victory by getting hella high and boning tons of strippers without protection

Thanks for the interview, Steve.

That lack of protection is bound to bring you a truck load of sores, ithching, oozing and pain. Not to mention the rashes and the leaks. Aint no medication strong enough to wipe away the residue. Careful that knob don’t fall off.

Man, that would be great if KrappyRat posted that classic shot of him driving the shiny red Corvette in the town parade
Overweight old Krapster … some blue haired hag hanging off the back seat … KrappyWife somewhere in the distance getting the bowl cut trimmed …
Hilarious stuff, PM Party Patrol Power Initiated

Accusations based from racism and fear from ignorant people is not worse than racism from other ignorant people like you racist monkey.
What makes things worse, is that you think you are a victim of racism, but you are racist towards other minorities and others in general.
Like I said before, your ignorance is amusing.
May 31st, 2012 at 9:51 pm

With my RE assets, I hardly call myself a victim.
May 31st, 2012 at 9:53 pm
Wow, it’s been a long time. I doubt it was 5 years ago, but I never posted under a different username.
Btw, just because you can’t remember, it doesn’t mean I wasn’t there. I remember that pic because it was hilarious. To make things worse, you posted it because you thought she is pretty.

She is pretty Sand Monkey, according to everybody I know, and Me.
But for you to go there is classless that’s why Ibrought that Burka wearing hairy assed btch of yours. Into it.

Rap #41 “the smell of it all”
YO YO YO a man needs a ho
To much nasty for a fly on the go
Call it as I see it Dawg
Walkin in the club too much fog
I can smell it down and dirty
Nasty leaky nasty funky
But the nasty and the stanky
start playin like a booty
But the rash wont go away
Man its here to stay
Cuts down the time to play
Cuz the crabs eat all day
The ho left a stain on my knob
She ate like a two bit slob
Now I discovered her name was bob
And the sores are lookin like a blob
I got VD, crabs and gonareah
and syphlyss is creepin beneathe me
What a ho, what a skank
I shower and still feel rank
The rash the itch
comes from that ho b1tch
scabs and sore galore
I got to show that ho the door

Sorry Troll Master,
Your lyrics don’t fit the bill for the PM Party Patrol; or it seems to me. It’s true there are some words that rythme, but the beat is disjointed and impossible to lay to music.

If my wife was as ugly as yours, I will make her wear a burka. You need to cover that ugly face. Keeping it exposed is a crime against humanity.

June 1st, 2012 at 6:12 am
It’s torture waiting for the first pre-season game. Grrr.
June 1st, 2012 at 6:14 am
Tight End remains a huge question mark, specially when it comes to the passing game, run-blocking in the ZBS won’t require a monster blocker to succeed, it’s more about positioning and technique, Myers should be able to do well in the run game.
But Palmer said Knapp had him watch every Houston game of the last 2 seasons, their TE’s Daniels and Dreessen combined for 82 catches, 1,030 yards and 9 TD’s in 2011 and 74 catches, 989 yards and 6 TD’s in 2010, those two averaged about 13 yards per catch.
And that doesn’t take into account FB-TE hybrid James Casey who had 18 more catches and made some big plays for them.
Our most accomplished TE, Brandon Myers has career numbers of 32 catches for 250 yards and 7.8 average, that guy just seems too slow to make plays.
Unless somebody makes a giant leap, we’re probably taking out the TE option out of Houston’s playbook, at least for next year.
At leat we have a number of WR’s with different skills and a unique FB to try and offset the lack of weapons from the TE spot.
June 1st, 2012 at 6:15 am

I wonder how R Seymours off season “workout how I see fit” program is going?
D Allen needs to get that clowns head on straight!
*******************
It isn’t integral for a vet like him to be in OTA’s. He doesn’t need to be taught the new scheme, he is familiar with a 3-4 and a 4-3, and lets be honest, I doubt if Tarver is going to come up with anything so new and unique that Seymour would need time to learn it. I mean he played for Belichik for 10 years. Besides, his absence from OTA’s is giving some younger guys like Ivey more run with the 1’s, which is awesome for them. Seymour will be there for camp when it matters.
June 1st, 2012 at 6:45 am
Been good Hwn, you ?
The Warriors & A’s are approaching despicable. At this point they can both leave ASAP and then M Davis can build a state of the art venue without any other tenants standing in the way! What you think?

The Warriors are always a wit til next year kind of team! There was a big write up the other day about the GM. We’ll see if that big trade pays off with the #7 pick at hand also!
As for the A’s, they started off surprising, then…well, if Beane kept at least Gio, maybe?
As for them leaving, it will sad for Oakland, but if the city does get Coliseum City done, then I say to Wolf, take the team, just leave the A’s!

RaiderRockstar Says:
@Marley
I don’t think it’s fair to write off our young unproven TE’s just yet. If they struggle when they put the pads on in camp & preseason, we can always get a veteran stopgap TE like Shaincoe, Shockey or Scaife for next to nothing …
They have proven to SUCK either, ya know. how many combined starts do they have?.
——————————————————-
Well, I think Myers is what he is, a decent blocker wihout enough speed/athletic ability to threaten a Defense.
Ausberry is a rare athlete (4.48 at 6′4 243) with nice hands and the right attitude, it seems, so the potential is there and he’ll have every chance to prove himself, I’m hopeful but careful.
Rich Gordon blocks well and you always need a guy like him for short yardage and goal line packages, I like him a lot, but his ceiling is limited to blocking specailist, an extra OL like a Brandon Manulaneuma or whatever his name was.
I’m not writting them off, I’m saying the position is a huge question mark so far if we wanto to run an ofense like Houston does.
June 1st, 2012 at 6:58 am
LOL, JFB…history tells us that it probably will happen! You know, not a fan, but I do like to see them do well! And you have to give the local fans here credit…they are probably the most loyal fans in the NBA!

thats the main reason I’m cool with Reece being gone. Not because he’s excused, but because it gives guys like Schmitt, Jackson & Robinson an opportunity.
it would Tonga too, but he’s sidelined with a knee injury!
June 1st, 2012 at 7:00 am
Rondo for Gasol. Lakers should make that trade in a heartbeat.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:00 am
And you have to give the local fans here credit…they are probably the most loyal fans in the NBA!
*************************
That’s why I was and still am so pissed at the way they treated last year.
We support losers every year, and we actually had a chance to watch some meaningful March basketball and push for a playoff spot. That’s all we ask for from time to time, and not even every year.
Than they blow it up, and try to piss on me and tell me it’s raining by saying they are looking to make a championship run, by swapping Monta and Udoh for Bogut and the #7 overall pick.
Good luck with that!!!
June 1st, 2012 at 7:01 am
That being said, I’d rather give those 3 and maybe Derek Carier a shot next year and see what we have, instead of picking up one of the remaining FA’s, we can always draft a TE next year if nobody steps up.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:02 am
This might be the first draft lottery in years that it makes no real difference if you are picking second or 9th in the draft, so of course, this will be the year we trade up, lol.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:03 am
Tom Guggloita?
***
watch it, JFB
I was a fan of this guy. loved watching him play for the T’Wolves & Suns
by the way: he was drafted by the Bullets, not the W’s !!
June 1st, 2012 at 7:03 am
I hear ya JFB! Most of my friends here are Warriors fans, and boy did I get an earful after that trade!
Anyways…as for Seymour. I think he’ll be ok, but I do know that he has to play his best this year! Don’t think the new regime will tolerate taking plays off…but, who do we have to replace him at the moment?
June 1st, 2012 at 7:04 am
Rondo for Gasol = LOL !!
June 1st, 2012 at 7:05 am
I think Myers will see the Lion’s share of snaps at TE this season.
If Ausberry doesn’t emerge as a somewhat reliable blocker, you can’t have him in the game that often, because it is a clear tell to the defense.
If he can’t block, it will PROBABLY not be a running play, and if it is, it MOST CERTAINLY won’t be run to his side of the line.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:05 am
Frankly, I don’t think the lack of an established TE is gonna make or break our season, we won 8 games without one last year and 8 with Zach Miller in 2010.
Just saying it would be nice to have one.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:06 am
Seymour is man-handling that Oak tree in his back yard right now, but is still struggling with it’s snap count.

you’re thinking of Kelly with the snap count thing. he’s the false start king.
Seymour got past the tree on one play and got pancaked by it the next play. then he snapped a few branches off in frustration and got flagged for it
June 1st, 2012 at 7:10 am
To land Rondo, it is going to take a helluva a lot more than Pau Gasol and his $16 million dollar salary-cap number.

I was really into college hoops back then, loved Gugliotta, Calbert Cheaney, Jimmy Jackson, Don McClean, Todd Day, Jamal Mashburn, Rodney Rogers, Harold Miner, Malik Sealy, Walt Williams…among others.

June 1st, 2012 at 7:15 am
This is the first i’ve seen so many positions up for grabs. With the exception of a handful of vets, i don’t believe anyone is penciled in as a starter.
I really hope Ausberry and Barkesdale can step up to the plate and secure those positions. I’d hate to go into the season still dabbling at TE and RT.
CB and LB positions will be interesting to see how those shake out. Who is the slot CB going to be, let alone the 2 starting corners? I’m pulling for Chekwa to stay healthy and exceed expectations in year 2. I’m not sold on Spencer quite yet.

I look at GB for many reasons. 1st being that they have had great sustained success over long period of time. 2nd-They went 15-1 in reg season and dominated doing so. 3rd- Reggie says he will be modeling Oakland after what they did there.
We can look to GB for clues as to what Raiders will be.
Carson Palmer is Reggies Brett Favre right now. They groomed Rodgers under him for a while. If Palmer is to us what Favre was to GB than who is our Rodgers who’ll take over eventually? Is it Pryor?
It’d be interesting to see what Eli would’ve done with the talent level on both sides that Palmer had in Cincy.
You can’t count those few games Palmer played last yr. with Raiders or use it to accurately assess where Palmer is ‘at’ right now.
Would Eli have taken Cincy to the SB? And we’ll never know how far Cincy would’ve gone that yr. when Palmer got injured in 1st quarter of 1st playoff game against Pittsburgh.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:16 am
Guggliota is one of the many solid glue guys the Dubs brought, but then give them an elevated role, which turned into a huge flop.
Googs, Donyell Marshall, Dampier, Larry Hughes, Bobby Sura.
I think soon we will be able to add Andre Iguodola to this list.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:19 am
Out, have a good one.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:20 am
@259 I’m not sold on Spencer yet myself. I think if Chekwa does remain healthy, he may surprise people like Cork was saying..
June 1st, 2012 at 7:21 am
Between Bartell, Spencer, Chekwa and DVD, 2 of these guys might end up on IR before the preseason ends.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:23 am
I am just short of fascinated by GB last yr.
To go 15-1…dominate doing so, while at the same time giving up the most passing yards in NFL HISTORY.
Of course that weak passing D finally caught up to them in the playoffs.
What was missing for GB against NYG was the big play on D that saved that “bend don’t break” defense.
I just don’t think you can have the strategy that you’re ok with giving up massive yardage and depending on someone “making a play” in the redzone to stop a drive. It may turn out that it happens that way, but i can’t see planning that’s how you wanna run your D.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:23 am
@Marley
here’s how I see it:
Myers = average hands, average blocker. most experienced
Gordon = nasty blocker, questionable hands & athletic ability
Ausberry = converted WR, excellent hands & speed for TE, questionable blocker
Kyle Efaw = ??? [undrafted rookie from Boise State]
I agree with you that we don’t have a “Complete” starting calibur TE on the roster, on paper. We’ll see what happens in camp & preseason. We may have one by WK1 of the reg season
June 1st, 2012 at 7:23 am
I got to run as well.
Raider On
June 1st, 2012 at 7:23 am
I think DVD could end up on the IR. Seems that Bartell’s injury wasn’t as bad as some make it out to be. At least he left the field on his feet and not a cart.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:24 am
That Boise State kid could suprise and get a lot of run this season.
OK….now I am gone.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:25 am
I realize offensive and defensive rankings can be deceptive.
Didn’t SD have the #1 ranked D AND #1 Offense a couple yrs. back and finished 9-7?
June 1st, 2012 at 7:28 am
@271 Yeah I think you’re right on that one. We’ll see if their DB’s don’t get trucked by DMAC on opening night.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:29 am
I think with time running out in the half and they gave the ball to either Bradshaw or Jacobs (can’t remember) to just run out clock and he ran for a first and more. Then, that pass in the enzone that was caught changed the complexion of that game! I still think NY would have won, but wow…that took GB out!
June 1st, 2012 at 7:30 am
Anyways, I think Boston will be stupid to get rid of Rondo when the big 3 is probably on their last stand. So yeah, I agree that it will have to be Gasol and someone/something else!
June 1st, 2012 at 7:33 am
Why not use Reece as TE? TE’s are second and third FB’s on the depth chart for lots of teams.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:35 am

June 1st, 2012 at 7:36 am
That is true J Hill!
June 1st, 2012 at 7:37 am
If Ausberry doesn’t play well, we know the damage Reece can do catching the ball. I think Schmidt can handle the role of FB.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:40 am
training camp = late July, right?
so we’ll have to wait another 6-7 weeks before we get any “real” Raider news and we have plenty of time to make a few trades, sign a few FA’s, restructure a few contracts, extend a few players, etc
Reggie could have Tyvon, Desmond & Marcel locked up long-term before camp opens … if he feels that is a priority

Reece & Ausberry are both converted WR’s
one to FB, one to TE.

Looking at the way the league is going, you HAVE to have a legit PG to compete. LeBron, Rondo, Parker, and Westbrook are all still standing.
I rag on Gasoft a lot, but I bet adding Williams and KG and keeping him would be better for the Lakers in the long run.
Williams, KG, Gasoft, and Kobe would be pretty formidable.

Oh, thanks Mark. I posted again before I saw yours.
Ok..so IF he decides to be stupid and just sit out the year you’re saying it’s the same deal next yr.?
I would think we’d have to see an announcement before mandatory mini camp?
What happens if he blows off mandatory mini camp?

June 1st, 2012 at 8:41 am
Nothing. He’s not signed. We cant fine him. But his value to us starts going down if he misses training camp.
June 1st, 2012 at 8:42 am

@DJG
I think he gets fined and he’s definately not getting a new deal from Reggie if that happens. He’ll be shopped for a late-round draft pick [we're minus one from the Curry trade anyways]
June 1st, 2012 at 8:43 am
reece better get in line.
He may not be getting any run, if he sits out too long.
as much as I like the guy, we have some guys hungry.
He could wind up hurting himself.
I am sure he has a copy of the playbook at least.
June 1st, 2012 at 8:45 am
Thec,
Can’t fix everything in one offseason.
Williams, Kobe, and Artest is a formidable perimeter trio, bruh.
KG and Gasoft can handle Perkins and Ibabka mayne.
Sessions, Ebanks, Hill, and McRambis off the bench?
Right there with any team in the league. Miami would still be the best team on paper.
Miami is going to win it all this year if Bosh can make it back.
June 1st, 2012 at 8:46 am
Reece sign the damn tender, ball out, if we can afford to keep youi we will, otherwise go sign with someone else for more loot…
Sitting out hurts your cause on several levels.
June 1st, 2012 at 8:46 am
Yea it will only hurt Reece to hold out of camp. With Reggie changing the culture and going after “football” players, he needs to be out there.
June 1st, 2012 at 8:46 am
I don’t know why folks are writing off Gordon, Thec.
Who says he can’t run or catch?
Let’s see!
June 1st, 2012 at 8:47 am
RIP Orlando Woolridge.
June 1st, 2012 at 8:47 am
Reece will fit in fine as long as he shows by training camp. He switched pos with ease. learning a new scheme wont faze him. He has a playbook.
June 1st, 2012 at 8:50 am
I hope the next post by Cork we see is that Reece has signed.
June 1st, 2012 at 8:52 am
the lakers gave away 2 games to the thunder.. And the defensive game plan for game 1 was ridiculous.. They can do a few different things to get better. Im not worried a bit. Ill worry when kobe gets too old. He sat out the finale and gave durant the scoring title..

Miami is a better team than Boston by far. They were gonna win this series regardless, but it doesn’t change the fact they got jobbed that last game.
That maybe the one game they might’ve won.
If they have anything left at all we’ll see it tonight.
June 1st, 2012 at 8:55 am

***
doubtful Reece has a playbook or even wants one, Thec.
I don’t think the Raiders want to hand out more than 1 copy to any player. they ain’t passing them around like hotcakes at IHOP, ya know? Reece hasn’t showed up to anything, which is why Allen said he needs to get caught up to what we’re doing. He wasn’t approved to work out on his own like Seymour. He hasn’t met the new trainers or staff. Hasn’t met his new teammates. Doesn’t know Knapp’s offense unless he absorbed a bunch in 2008 as a rookie on the practice squad
June 1st, 2012 at 8:57 am
If things don’t work out with Reece, it’d be nice to see Reggie lock up Tyvon for several more years.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:00 am

I think they’re going to miss his leadership on the field and in the locker room, more than anything.
he missed 4 games due to injury last season (like Huff)
51 tackles, 3 sacks, 6 passes defensed and 0 INT’s
not bad for a 37/38 year old dude, but still… far from Top 10 at his position
June 1st, 2012 at 9:07 am

I wonder how R Seymours off season “workout how I see fit” program is going?
D Allen needs to get that clowns head on straight!
*******************
It isn’t integral for a vet like him to be in OTA’s. He doesn’t need to be taught the new scheme, he is familiar with a 3-4 and a 4-3, and lets be honest, I doubt if Tarver is going to come up with anything so new and unique that Seymour would need time to learn it. I mean he played for Belichik for 10 years. Besides, his absence from OTA’s is giving some younger guys like Ivey more run with the 1’s, which is awesome for them. Seymour will be there for camp when it matters.
=================================================
Seymour should be at the OTAs.
I don’t think the OTAs are going to make him a better player. I’m confident he can ‘catch up’ and learn the nuances of whatever system or scheme DA and Tarver are going to install.
But that’s NOT the point or the reason he SHOULD be at OTAs.
Seymour is taking down 15 MILLION per.
For that kind of coin the Raids should not only expect an ALL-PRO level of performance, but also LEADERSHIP and TOTAL COMMITMENT.
You’d think that the ‘LEADER’ of a defense that performed horribly last season would be anxious to get with his new coaches and teammates and see what’s being planned to turn things around.
You’d expect the HIGHEST PAID player on the team to show up for an organized team activity – even if he’s not REQUIRED to do so.
Seymour is sending the wrong message by not being at the OTAs.
Seymour deserves credit for helping to organize and finance team ‘get togethers’ during last year’s work stoppage.
He also deserves to be blasted for his less than stellar play the previous two years – and now for acting like a primadonna that’s above showing up for OTAs.
15 million a year won’t guarantee that a player will perform worth a pittance.
But it should guarantee absolute commitment to the team.
No excuse for Seymour not showing for the OTAs.
Speaks volumes about his character.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:23 am
I think one team in LA suffices, at least for a long while, pending Jacksonville.
Team in Oakland
Team in Santa Clara
Team in LA
Team in San Diego
That’s surely the best situation for California, two Norcal teams and two Socal teams. Taking the Raiders out of Oakland would skew the Californian balance, ostracizing the passionate Norcal football fans.

LeBron lost a lot of points with a lot of people for going to Miami instead of NY.
Just like the last shot thing, seems like he really didn’t want the challenge of winning in NY. Or should I say the scrutiny that would have come with not winning in NY.
None of the “greats” would have gone to another superstars team like he did. As great as LeBron is, it’s still D Wade’s team.

Four WRs to keep an eye on
By Bill Williamson | ESPN.com
(Just posted 1 WR)
Oakland, Juron Criner
Why the interest: The fifth-round pick has stood out in OTAs with many circus catches.
What to expect in 2012: It would be foolish to pencil in a fifth-round pick to be an immediate contributor solely based on OTA play (it’s a glorified passing camp). However, it would be equally foolish to discount Criner. He has skills. He wasn’t drafted highly because he doesn’t have great speed. But he is a polished receiver. I could see him making some plays as a rookie.
What’s his career ceiling? One teammate thinks Criner has Larry Fitzgerald ability. He has been that impressive. I think Criner has a chance to be a standout player in this league in he stays the course and continues to work at his game.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:54 am

Breaking down Rolando McClain’s situation
There is no question Oakland middle linebacker Rolando McClain is on the hot seat.
He has not played up to par for being the No. 8 overall pick in the 2010 draft and he is facing 180 days in an Alabama jail after he was recently convicted of an assault while using a gun last fall while he was away from the team to attend a family funeral. McClain is hoping a jury trial will end the case. Either way, he could face NFL discipline.
There is debate whether Oakland should try to move on from him or whether it should show patience and hope he develops under new coach Dennis Allen, a defensive specialist.
I checked in with Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. on the matter. He said it is a tough situation because the Raiders don’t have a suitable replacement for McClain, but he is not sure if McClain is worth keeping for the long term.
“I think he is a very average starting inside linebacker,” Williamson said. “He has not impressed me at all and is more or less just a downhill two-down player. That doesn’t cut it these days in the NFL, especially for where he was picked. … I would imagine that he makes a lot of money that could be used better down the road.”
Still, moving on from McClain now may prove difficult for Oakland.

June 1st, 2012 at 10:50 am
The fantastic minds of the Football Outsiders put together an interesting look at the defensive players who had holding calls go against the player blocking them. The statistic is called forced holds.
A young AFC West player, Oakland’s Lamarr Houston ranked high on the list. Lamarr Houston, a second-year defensive lineman, forced seven holds, which was tied for the second-most in the NFL.
What does it all mean? Is it a special skill that Houston possesses? It is a compliment to his defensive prowess? Or it is just a coincidence that he was held against often?
I asked Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. for his thoughts on why he forced so many holds.
“Houston is very talented and he is an up-and-coming player,” Williamson said. “But even more so, he played with guys that demand a ton of attention from pass-protection schemes in Richard Seymour & Kamerion Wimbley. So, one-on-one matchups against average offensive tackles, often right tackles, could sure lead to a lot of holds.”

More blitzes coming from Huff and branch as well

More? We blitz our safeties more than any team in the NFL.
June 1st, 2012 at 10:55 am
So it looks like we’ll be going w/ a 4-3 base w/ multiple looks.

@428 Yeah I was looking for the gun also. It looked as if Romac was instigating a bit, but he did pull the attacker off the lil guy once. Still a dumb moved just being in a situation like that.

Houston is also top 5 in the NFL for qb pressures and hits. He doesn’t get much credit because he doesn’t get a ton of sacks, but he is one of our best DL.

430 I think the scheme will make the safety blits more effective, what Im trying to concur
June 1st, 2012 at 11:06 am
@436 I think the scheme will help very much. When they blitz they may have more clear lanes to rush untouched, hopefully.

Houston + ShoNasty + Seymour + Kelly = QB pressures, hits & sacks !!
Bryant, Bilukidi, Tollefson & Crawford = solid depth imo
still holding out hope for Travis Ivey too
practice squad candidates:
Mason Brodine
Jamie Cumbie
Hall Davis
Wayne Dorsey
Dominique Hamilton
June 1st, 2012 at 11:09 am
Houston, Bryant, and Shaughnessy are young and talented. TK and Seymour are vets, but they can still play at a high level. Scheme and discipline can help us improve against the run, but I still worry about our defense and STs unit.

I really want to see Burris used as a primary pass rusher. He seems to be an extremely sound tackler and sheds blocks like a beast!

Corner is a huge question but if, and that’s a big if, Chekwa and DVD can somehow step up and improve from last year there may be a chance the pass defense can improve.

June 1st, 2012 at 12:09 pm
Dan,
I don’t know. GB signed Woodson in FA and gave him a huge contract, which they don’t normally do, and they manage to find good CBs to develop.
June 1st, 2012 at 12:11 pm
Chucky B was exposed last year simply because he put his personnel in no win situations constantly. Once the cuts start coming Oaktown should be able to pick up another adequate vet.
June 1st, 2012 at 12:13 pm
Corners just need to be solid and consistent. Don’t need to take over games, just defend adequately.
June 1st, 2012 at 12:14 pm
yeah but I mean the shutdown corner with the hype like we had in Woodson and Aso who we knew were going to eliminate what ever receiver they put on them. They took away the side of the field they play.
June 1st, 2012 at 12:15 pm
@483 Agreed. I think DA will tell players just to do their job and things will fall in place from there.
June 1st, 2012 at 12:15 pm
i think our new type of Cb will just be a compliment to the scheme of Defense. holding the position enough for the Qb to get sacked.
June 1st, 2012 at 12:16 pm
@484 If Bartell is truely over the neck injury, he may be that guy. His highlights with STL were amazing in some games.
June 1st, 2012 at 12:23 pm
Gotta love that Reggie signed Bartell and Spencer to on one-year deals! Keeps them hungry all season long!

hate to say this, because I have much love & respect for Al Davis.
but him being gone allowed us to bring in a legit GM & coaching staff. to get rid of the bloated contracts. to quit shooting ourselves in the foot with the cap. to start working on a new stadium. etc etc
please don’t just blame everything on Chuck Bresnahan. thats very short sighted and downright ignorant. Chuck was dealt a pretty lousy hand last season, if you recall
June 1st, 2012 at 12:32 pm
2011 Raiders defense:
ShoNasty = injured
McClain = injured
Seymour = injured
Huff = injured
CJ37 = injured
Henderson = injured
Chekwa = injured
Goethel = injured
Nnamdi Asomugha leaves in free agency (#1 CB in the NFL)
Al Davis dies midseason and Hue Jackson mandates a change from the strict man2man defense with 4 man rush.
but yeah – Chuck Bresnahan had a Ravens or Steelers defense to work with. he just sucks at coaching, right?
btw, the Raiders couldn’t stuff the run for 8 YEARS before Chuck B was hired. We didn’t fix the problem, but he certainly didn’t create it either. Plus he didn’t make the personnel decisions.
Blame the penalties and lack of roster depth on Hue Jackson!

If Giants tight end Martellus Bennett doesn’t want to get moved to offensive tackle, he’s going to need to lose some weight.
Bennett, who signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Giants in March, has been hampered by a hamstring injury this offseason. And the inability to run is starting to show around his midsection, Giants tight ends coach Mike Pope said.
“He weighed in at 291 pounds last week. So I think that is probably a little too big for his legs to carry,” Pope said of Bennett.

Much more difficault being an elite QB in this league. Routt has the ability to be a shut down corner. Maybe Romeo will help him reach his full potential. BTW in fairness he has not been starting his whole career. Nnamdi took time to get to where he is, did he not? I wish I was defending him as a Raider not a Cheif. When the season starts I hope our track team blows his doors off. In other games I will cheer for him. Just like I’ll pull for Bush, Campbell, and Chaz. As long as we are not playing them.

No doubt there were rough times for Routt. I belive the last couple years he has shown flashes of what could be there if he could put it together on a consistent basis.
He was starting to come on before being replaced by Hall. Hall would have taken the job over any CB on the roster (minus Nnamdi) then Hall showed his true useless colors, not fair to judge Routt for that IMO.
He was replaced by Fabian way to early. It’s tough to come into your own that quickly when you are in my opinion still pretty raw. Al just wanted to put one of his toys on the field (Fabian), I think you know there is truth to that.
CJ37 is awful, He looked good the year he replaced Hall, but you and I probaly would have been upgrades over Meangelo. Trust me Routt frustrated me just as much as the rest of you ecspecialy the penalities at crucial times. I will use your defense of Bres and say I think he had a bad rap.

Lester Hayes says consequences of injuries are “all on the players”
At a time when more and more former players have sued the NFL over concussions suffered during their playing careers, one former player who played the game at a very high level has no plans to blame anyone but the players for the post-football condition of their bodies.
“It’s all on the players, not anybody else, because the players have the same gladiator genes that existed in Rome over 2,000 years ago,” former Raiders cornerback Lester Hayes tells Terence Moore in a special item for CNN.com. “They have a love of football to the 10th power. So the players make the final call. Trust me. No matter what they are told by doctors or anybody else, they will fight to play.”
Of course, that’s easy for Hayes to say. He emerged from 10 seasons of NFL football unscathed. At age 57, he has no lingering injuries, of any kind. (Including illnesses from inhaling all those stickum fumes.)
He seems to be surprised by his good fortune.
“Lord, have mercy. It’s so much safer to play in the NFL these days than during my time,” Hayes said. “We didn’t have any guidelines. You could actually lead with your face mask [as a defender] — putting your face mask on an opposing player’s face mask, without a $15,000 fine. You could throw a forearm shiver to the throat. People played with broken bones. Guys would carry smelling salt in their socks, so if you got a little woozy on the field, you’d reach into your sock for help.”
Hayes claims that, when he was injured and wanted to play, he had to deal with doctors who tried to keep him from suiting up, once with a strained calf muscle. “It was 1985, and I had never missed a game, and me and Dr. [Richard] Rosenfeld were going at it — back and forth, and I’m begging him, just pleading and screaming at him, ‘Doc, I’ve got to play. Give me the shot. . . . The Doc is telling me, ‘Lester, take a few days off. I don’t like shooting muscle.’ But it’s going back and forth, with me yelling. And God rest his soul, he wouldn’t back down, not until I just forced him to do it. He always showed a lot of love and compassion.”
And it wasn’t only Hayes who pushed to play. “Listen, I’m waiting there outside of the secret room [where [pain-killing shots were dispensed], observing, listening to Doc tell players, ‘Sit out. Sit out.’ They wouldn’t do it, because they were gladiators, and Mr. [Al] Davis had instilled such a will of winning into each of us that we had to get out there. . . .
“Mr. Davis never pressured us to play,” Hayes said. “He never, never did. It was always the player’s call. You can’t blame Mr. Davis, and you can’t blame the doctors, because a lot of guys see stars on the field, but that gladiator gene takes over. I never saw Dr. Rosenfeld apply pressure in the secret room, except to try to put us in street clothes on game days.”
Though plenty of other former players would disagree strongly that Rosenfeld or doctors with other teams actually tried to talk injured players out of playing, Hayes’ remarks mesh with the mindset of most fans, who believe that the players knew the risks, accepted the risks, and disregarded their own health and safety in order to suit up and play the game they loved.
Right or wrong, plenty of jurors who show up for the concussion cases will feel the same way

as long as David Ausberry doesn’t remind people of Marvelous Marv Throneberry (he of the “can’t anybody here play this game” Casey Stengel Metropolitans) or Dick “hands of stone” Stuart then everything should work out fine.
just stopped by to give a history lesson to the baby creatures here who think that everything was invented during their lifetimes.
June 1st, 2012 at 5:20 pm
A good friend of mine is a hardcore rams fan. He says that Bartell was solid before the injury. He also thinks it was good pick up if he stays healthy and doesn’t play timid.
June 1st, 2012 at 5:38 pm
Okay Lonetree, I am a middle aged man and that went right over my head. I think, if Ausberry can avoid Dudley comparisons we be good.
We could really use a solid season out of Bartell. If he and Spencer can be solid, not spectacular we could maybe, just maybe be good. I know it’s a low bar, but I haven’t seen a “good” Raider D since well technically 3 decades ago.

Ausberry settling into TE role
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, May 31st, 2012 at 3:28 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Second-year player David Ausberry showed up this year packing on more weight, feeling more like a tight end and ready to compete for the vacancy created by the release of veteran Kevin Boss earlier this offseason.
Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp admits that there’s work to be done before he and the other coaches can feel confident about what they have at the tight end position.
However, Knapp and others are confident that Ausberry, Brandon Myers and Richard Gordon are talented enough to step into heightened roles, with Ausberry the leading candidate to assume the starting role.
Here’s what Ausberry, a converted wide receiver, had to say during a recent interview following an offseason practice:
How you feeling out there?
Everything feels great. With the new offense, we’re making a lot of progress everyday.
Do you feel like you are now really a tight end?
It certainly feels like it, with all the weights were doing and the playbook, it makes you feel like a real tight end.
Did you feel like that last year, or was it a transition year?
I guess you could look at it both ways. I was doing a lot of the same things last year, but now its pretty much hand in dirt. Theres also a lot of formations where I am split out wide and all that, but now it’s more about being a real tight end. It feels pretty good.
How much weight have you put on?
265 right now. Last year, I was about 250. at the beginning of the year I was about 245 coming in.
You feel like you have lost any speed?
I don’t feel like I lost anything but that just comes with a lot of technique you got to know your opponent and be able to separate from people, and that’s what I am trying to do.
Was it easy putting weight on?
It wasn’t that hard if you’re lifting a lot. That’s pretty much what happened. Playing weight, I will probably be down to 258. I am trying to get more muscle in the upper body and trying to stay fit.
Carson Palmer has said nice things about you. Must feel nice to have the quarterback in your corner
It feels great. A vet like Carson, you always want a guy like that in your corner. It helps when you have some sort of relationship with the starting quarterback. You start to feel each other on the field and it helps a lot. I am just blessed to be in this position.
It seem wide open for you? As far as grabbing a starting job?
Yeah, thats what I am trying to do. If I get a chance to get out there, I will get it.
What things have you gotten better at since last year?
Recognizing defensive fronts. Coming from the outside back to the interior, you have to be aware of whats going on in front of you now.
Youre not reading too many safeties now.
Carson said seeing Terrell Owens push himself in offseason workouts (in LA) was good for the young guys. You agree, get a lot out of that?
Yeah, it is good. Somenbody like that, T.O. is a great player and to be in his presence and work out with him, it was great. He was passing on a lot of tips to us young guys

June 1st, 2012 at 7:02 pm
Anyone agree TPryor would make an awesome tight end. I mean, what a threat to have a tight end with speed. The dude needs to be on the field. Period.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Not sure about tight end for TP.
wild cat running back or slot receiver maybe.
June 1st, 2012 at 7:17 pm
TP will be on the field as a QB, not a TE.
June 1st, 2012 at 8:02 pm
Happy Friday evening Raider brethren.
TP is demonstrating everything one would hope for in any player.
Dedicated, hardworking, asking for mentors…etc
If TP can make it as our starting QB by 2014 I’d be impressed and grateful.

**************************
Yep! Boss’s exodus was Ausberry’s green light to become the starter. He looks a lot like the old Raymond Chester – just bigger & faster. And that’s not all bad. We have a very young & talented WR group. There is so much speed in there that no backfield will be able to keep up. I predict that the 2012 Raider offense will be in the top 5. CPalmer will have one of the best years of his career. The 1st & 2nd pick that we gave for him will soon look like a real bargain.

I hope so, because that is his contract year.
We kind of are in a little bit of pickel with him and his contract, because if he doesn’t play much between now and 2014, what do you do? Do you play him strictly so you know what you have, so you can figure out if you want to resign him? Do you resign him without seeing him play much? Would he even be interested in re-signing if he rarely plays?
That will be interesting to see how that plays out.
June 1st, 2012 at 8:42 pm
I think the kid from Boise State is going to get a lot of play as a TE this season.
June 1st, 2012 at 8:44 pm
It may sound crazy, but the Melk man may make a run at .400 this season.
If he only walked a little bit more he would have a better chance, but he never swings and misses, so no strikeouts, no walks.

Quite the pickle…
I can imagine opportunities for playing time as a result of injury, or in certain packages, or hopefully in mop up duty after the Raiders have salted a game away.

Thanks GG.
I’m sorry but I just can’t buy in to all the Hue Jackson hate.
Was he perfect? Heck no. Did he make some dumb calls like NOT kicking a fg that would’ve iced the game against Cleveland? Horrible. But I’ve seen coaches who are considered legends make equally dumb moves. How about Belichik against Indy? Going for it deep in his own territory…stupid.
My gosh this was a 1st yr. HC who had to go thru his GM dying, his league leading running back and best player on the team, his starting QB, numerous other injuries, and STILL managed to go 8-8. And what does he get from the nation? Ridicule and hate. Yet…so many preach “patience” with Reggie and DA and “it’s gonna take some time” etc. etc. yet how much time did Hue have?
I’m glad with the new regime and all but I really feel Hue got…and continues to get a raw deal from the Raider faithful and deserves alot better than what he got as 1st yr. coach with all the crap he had to go through.
I know that isn’t a popular opinion but that’s what the blog is about right?
June 1st, 2012 at 9:09 pm
I liked Huge action.
He was entertaining, but not the best fit for the post Al era.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:19 pm
Hue was the worst Oakland Raider coach, as far as game management, I certainly have ever seen.
Hands down, worst ever.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:19 pm
Len, I hear ya. He’s not. I just don’t understand all the Hue hate…and there is alot of it.
I thought he tried his best and we should give him a friendy ‘fare well and thanks for your service’, rather than what he’s getting.
I realize noone else wanted him after he left..the power grab really scared other teams off, but he’s going down as the only Raider coach to be fired without having a losing record.
He’s not as horrible as he’s been made out is all i’m saying.
Hardline, if you’re out there i know you don’t agree with me, but we just agree to disagree on the “pimpin magnificent”. Lol.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:24 pm
Hue finished 8-8, and lost 4/5 games to finish the season. Cable finished with the same record, had a better record in the division, and he was fired.
Hue
June 1st, 2012 at 9:25 pm
Jackson, Cable and Kiffin all got their fair share of it. All three did things to hurt themselves and be happy to see them leave. All three also had difficult things to deal with regarding Al Davis or his entourage.
Hue lost the plot imo. He ascended to HC far too quickly, he was a good OC and should’ve learned the ropes a few more years before ascending, had some down years/stats to fight thru. He also became too “me me” orientated, trying to take the limelight. He also BS’d his players and fans from time to time. And lastly, he went nuts at the end with his power grab. Imagine him doing that while Al was alive. Or like Tom Cable “we’re no longer losers.”
I think where we are today is great. Mark sat down for many months with Madden and Herock and Wolf, and they plotted a path, how to correct everything, etc. A plan was put in place. Reggie was hired with great determination not just an OC who happened to fall into the lap of opportunity (like Hue would’ve been if he had gotten his way). Hue’s resume cannot whatsoever compare with Reggie’s either. Not in any lifetime. Reggie has a huge amount of experience, related experience, right mindset etc. The staff he has hired and the cleaning out he has done has been vastly well-prepared, thought-out, planned, and has a very high ceiling.
Knapp in retrospect is a good OC hire (i like many was very critical of it, but it’s basically bringing in the Houston offense here as a scheme that can make the most of all our weapons). Allen is a great hire, and that he and Reggie can work so well alongside each other. Impossible seeing Hue, Tom, Lane, etc working as well with Reggie either. Allen just has the right attitude and character. The Raider coach/GM think tank is very defensive-orientated too, which was important for turning around our decades long history of failure there.

Gotta admit though he was entertaining.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:26 pm
Hue was good for this team when he arrived. we were in the crapper and we needed a change. He was a good face for the Raiders when it was needed most. He was young as a HC & it showed. He made a lot of mistakes but given his support system he did what he could. When AD passed, He went a little crazy. That happens to some people sometimes. His biggest failing was in NOT firing Bresnahan the day after AD died. His trade for CP, IMO will prove to be one of the smartest things he did while here. I for one, liked Hue. I thought he got a bad deal but that too happens to people. All I can say is thank you Hue for the good things you did and learn from your mistakes. I wish him well.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:27 pm
Under Hue:
1- we led the league in penalties and yards
2- couldn’t finish on offense because he gets too cute with his play calling.
3- he was more concerned with what he was going to say and not what he had to do.
4- more interested in gaining power over being a good HC.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:31 pm
Hue = Cable = good position coaches but not HC material.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:34 pm
#572
I agree with all your points but on the other side of the ledger let’s not forget the all home games were sellouts. That’s something that hasn’t happened for an awful long time. Hue did help that happen. So he gets a couple of points for that. I also give him props for a couple of great crazy plays: To wit, the Punt/pass play to Boss for a TD and the great fake punt run by Reece. Not everything he did was bad.

#4 was the most blatant of faux pas
#2 might have been affected by the loss of McFadden, but I’d counter that with His inability to maximize the roster at his disposal.

IMO, the one coach that really got the short end of the stick was Al Saunders. I just hope Reggie is smart enough to keep him in reserve in case Knapp flops. Saunders is a genius when it comes to offense. He may be low key but he knows football.

Also, another plus for Allen as HC….defensive-minded HC’s have always been far more unconventional and kinky in regards to offensive play-calling and offensive daring. Coming from a defensive background helps them better understand how to trick opposing defenses.

In looking at our O this year, we look BAD. The O-Line is solid. Especially if Carlisle is replaced at OLG by Bergstrom as I expect . Veldheer, Bergstrom, Wiz, Brisiel & either Barnes or Barksdale. Ausberry at TE is our new Raymond Chester. DMac, Goodson & Jones at RB will be a triple threat. Owen Schmidt & Reece at the FB position will bring new meaning to saying “WTF, where did he come from”. Lastly, CPalmer will resurrect his career and have a take no prisioners approach. I fully expect this O to be top 5 if not top 3. Now all we need is some defense.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:53 pm
OAKLAND (FNN Media) –In a rare move, the Oakland Raiders hired a new offensive coordinator but kept the old one around too.
The Raiders have retained Al Saunders after hiring Greg Knapp to serve as the offensive coordinator under Dennis Allen.
Saunders, long known for his wealth of football knowledge, will transition into a senior offensive assistant, a press release confirmed.
While Oakland gets their bearings following a season of change unlike any other in franchise history, Saunders will likely serve as a consultant and sounding board for the new coaching staff.
ESPN reported his contract was extended for one season, which now runs through 2013.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:56 pm
I think we will see a lot of 3 WRs formations on offense.
I expect our offense to be top 5 in rushing and top 10 in passing.
June 1st, 2012 at 9:56 pm
I forgot our young WR corp. DHB, D-Wow, Ford, Criner, Murphy & who knows else are a very talented group. It’s entirely possible that Murphy may not even make it out of camp. There are a couple more who are they guys (Reggie picks) that could easily take the 5th & 6th WR spot. We are deep in WR right now.

Your opinion, not mine. We lost primarily because we had an incompetent turd as a DC. Hue got stuck with him. That was an AD screw-up, not Hue’s. Hue’s failing was in not firing Bresnahan the day after Al died. I was there at the games. Our defensive scheme was crap. Our players simply gave up in the third quarter. Apparently no one on the D was held accountable. I think that problem has been resolved.

He made a lot of mistakes but given his support system he did what he could. When AD passed, He went a little crazy. That happens to some people sometimes. His biggest failing was in NOT firing Bresnahan the day after AD died. His trade for CP, IMO will prove to be one of the smartest things he did while here. I for one, liked Hue. I thought he got a bad deal but that too happens to people. All I can say is thank you Hue for the good things you did and learn from your mistakes. I wish him well.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hue was good for this team?!!!
You lost me with the first sentence.
The guy came in here and went about stabbing his buddy Cable in the back.
He was an OK OC but he couldn’t manage a team if his life depended on it.
In my entire life I never thought that I would read about a Raider head coach who relaxed before a game by getting his toenails done!
Hue is gone and he can kiss my all-Raider azz!

Say what you will about Hue but I will say that his “perceived” new energy for the team was enough for me to purchase season club tickets. I was really pissed when Al went to LA. I never got over it even after they returned. I sat by the TV and watched. When Hue was promoted to HC I could see that things were changing for the better and resigned up for tickets. Putting up big bucks is a way of showing team support. He helped, right wrong of indifferently, this team turn the corner. And, contrary to what many think, he got us a REAL franchise QB. The SB is now an achievable goal.

Lefty, You misinterpreted my post. I like DHB. I know he’s made great strides. My point was that he’s had to work at catching the ball whereas some of these new kids, D-Wow, Ford & now possibly Criner, all have hands of gold. If Criner is as good as everybody ios saying, he’ll be pushing everyone or a starting position. I just felt that DHB was at most risk given the competition for starting.
I DO like DHB. He got good attitude & work ethic and I hope he’s nothing but successful. If nothing else, he’s proved to be a better choice than Crabtree was. I like that!

However, he makes more than he’s worth.
Maybe I got it wrong but I don’t think that he was willing to re-do his contract after McKenzie came.
June 1st, 2012 at 10:49 pm
JB,I believe Ford is more at risk of losing playing time at WR.He is injury prone(so far),and is our best option in the return game.He is a smallish WR where the guys we are bringing in seem to be bigger guys that can take the beating WRs take.
June 1st, 2012 at 10:50 pm

Boss was a much better option than Zach Miller. The only problem was that Hue’s didn’t use the TE as they should have. That’s on Hue. Boss was let go for two reasons:
1. He had a history of concussions and
2. They saw the potential coming to be that Ausberry possessed. He will be our new Raymond Chester.
If the O uses the TE as they should, Ausberry will be a very important cog in our offensive scoring machine.

I got tired of replacing a vehicle every two years and then switched to something new for the times – a 240Z Datsun. Currently, a Mercedes 500SL & a GMC Yukon. I guess with age things do change.

I recall people on here complaining about Zack Miller always getting injured despite the fact that he was virtually the only guy we had who could catch the ball and got injured filling in for people who couldn’t block–not that he was a great blocker, he wasn’t which is why Al brought Myers in.
Al made a miscalculation with Miller and thought he would be able to sign him and had to go to Boss at the last minute.
That being said, Miller got a really dumb contract from Seattle.

Cork said no way Stupar gets consideration to push for a starting role becuz he’s a 7th rounder.
IMO that shouldn’t account for squat. If he shows he can play then he should get the same chance as anybody.
I don’t know if he’s that good or not, but I don’t like the reasoning.
Same with Criner. Look at these guys and forget where they were drafted. It doesn’t matter. Can they play? That’s it.
It’d be too easy to throw out the old “Tom Brady was a 6th rounder” thing, but one that isn’t mentioned as much is Arian Foster who was UNDRAFTED.
If they can play…let em play.

That is a bunch of crap, politics: just because he got drafted in the 7th round he doesn’t deserve starting consideration.
That’s why I can’t trust Corky. He has negative reports on Pryor, and if Corky was ruling the roost in OakTown Pryor would be gone long ago, simply because Pryor has talents which Corky can’t conceptualize to exploit.

June 1st, 2012 at 11:39 pm
I have a friend who wrote a screenplay which has garnered some interest by the studios, called, “The Man No One Could Stop.”
There was an NFL scout employed by a team with a uncanny resemblance to the Raiders, led by an iconic owner, both loved and hated, as a visionary and pariah.
The scout is driving through the Ozark Mts. in the middle of nowhere when he has a flat tire while driving up a long hill. He attempts to change to the spare but while doing so it gets away from him and rolls down the road at a rapid velocity. The spare hits a bump in the road and goes airborne, at least 15 feet in the air. Suddenly a youngster of great size appears out of the woods, leaps up and brings the tire down with one hand. Sprints back up the hill, and lays the tire at the scout’s feet.
All he says is “Gee mister, sorry you have a flat. I’ll change it for you directly”, and immediately does so, as the scout, in a state of shock, is speechless.
This “youngster” is 21 yrs old, 8′3″, and weighs 438 lbs.
June 1st, 2012 at 11:44 pm
Hardine,
8′3???
Is this a sci-fi screenplay?
June 1st, 2012 at 11:45 pm
fantasy……with a bite!
June 1st, 2012 at 11:48 pm
it turns out that the kid could never play sports because he was too big, too talented, with rock solid muscles. his parents’ kept him in the backwoods because they feared what would happen to him if exposed to professional sports.
the scout, even without calling the iconic owner rented a high roofed mercedes van and immediately drove the kid to the SF Bay area.
June 1st, 2012 at 11:50 pm
I’d watch it. Sounds more interesting if it were trying to play off that a man like that could actually exist and what might ensue in the story if he did.
June 1st, 2012 at 11:53 pm
I’m falling asleep.
Have a good nite Hardliggity.
June 2nd, 2012 at 12:01 am
If you read the screenplay that’s exactly what my friend did. The kid had a one in a trillion genetic defect which caused great size that didn’t inhibit him medically or physically. The iconic owner signed him, after meeting and soul searching with his parents. There is horrendous action in numerous games of this kid savaging, grinding, and running through all opponents.
The kid gains almost a billion dollars a year in salary and endorsements after going to and winning the SuperBowl, and gives it all away to charity. He buys a multi-acre estate on a Malibu hilltop, and lives there in a tent in the offseason while living with the iconic team owner during the season.
Eventually, even he, the kid, is seduced by the fame and fortune, experiences crisis and falters, then re-gains his way and begins his redemption.
June 2nd, 2012 at 6:55 am
JB,
I appreciate your energy adn knowledge, but can we pass on comparing Criner to Larry Fitzgerald and Ausberry to Raymond Chester, until they, I don’t know, catch a pass first?
NO way in hell either of those two go on to have half the career of those two. If we can get 25% of the career production of those guys, Ausberry and Criner will be great draft picks.
June 2nd, 2012 at 7:04 am
OK……I admit I thought Chester’s numbers were better than they were (just looked them up).
Well, Ausberry can definately get 50% of this production (180 catches, 2500 yards 24 TD’s) in today’s NFL.
I didn’t know Chester only had one season with over 570 yards recieving and 50 catches (’79 with us).
I still stand behind my Criner 25% of Fitz. When all is said and done, that will about 300 catches, for 5000 yards and 30 TD’s. That would be awesome.
June 2nd, 2012 at 8:21 am
Criner is a stud. I’m not going to compare him to Larry, but I think he will be a starter by the end of this season. DHB is improving, but he is not a #1 WR in the NFL IMO.
I can see Moore and Criner starting and Ford and DHB competing for 3rd on the depth chart.
June 2nd, 2012 at 8:24 am
I also think our 26 yo rookie OG and LB Burris will start too.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:05 am
So what should we expecto from Dennis Allen considering the following.
Hue Jackson won 8 games as a Rookie HC:
- Without a full off-season-training camp to help him.
- Without a DC of his liking (Dennis Thurman was blocked).
- While taking over as acting GM after 4 games, a task that some of the best coaches around have struggled with, has any 1st year Coach been forced to take over GM duty ever?.
- While losing his best player after 7 games (DMAC).
- While switching QB’s in the middle of the season and turning to a retired guy who had no chemistry whatsoever with the rest of the Offense.
And yet he had his team a couple of plays away from hosting a Playoff game.
Penalties? didn’t Hue have Refs in practice during the week trying to get this team to control the flags? Gannon praised his efforts for taking action on the discipline issue.
Now….
Let’s turn to Dennis Allen, he must win at least 8 games right?…. otherwise he sucks, why?.
- He has a well regarded GM and the coaching staff of his choice.
- He has a full off-season and training camp to prepare this team, he even got extra OTA time for being a new coach.
- He has a QB that is now 100% ready to play and has developed the chemistry every offense needs to peform.
- He was given the team Hue had last year without any major additions-substractions, talent wise we’re even with last year’s team.
- He doesn’t have to deal with Stan Routt, who according to some is the worst CB in the game, that has to help, right?.
- He’ll have the luxury of starting the season with Palmer & McFadden, plus the WR’s together, never happened with Hue.
The way some of you guys talk, Hue should have won 10-11 games if he didn’t “suck” si much right?.
What does DA have to do, considering he inherits the same team with so much less turmoil?.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:14 am
Hue mistakes, problems and final record have absolutly nothing to do with DAs final grade as a head coach..
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:14 am
He has to win the division or make the POs IMO.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:18 am
Don’t get me wrong, I really like Dennis Allen and I’m rooting hard for him and his coaches, as well as Reggie.
But I would have liked to have him back next season with a DC of his choice and the freedom to dedicate himself to coaching, instead of spending a good amount of time trying to GM this team.
I know his power grab was stupid and it costed him this job and a better gig somewhere else, but Reggie could and should have handled him, Hue was not going to win a power struggle with Mark’s brand new GM and he knew it.
It’s water under the bridge, but it doesn’t change the fact that Hue got a raw deal.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:18 am
I can see Moore and Criner starting and Ford and DHB competing for 3rd on the depth chart.

I can “see” it I guess, but I doubt it will happen.
I think Criner takes over Chaz’s role, at least this season.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:19 am
Hue didnt suck. But he did and said things that made it impossibl for a new gm to keep him. Not to mention setting the penalty record, and reinforcing the no discipline/ no accountability environment when he didnt suspend romac.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:22 am

669 agree.. People are chugging the rookie kool-aid.. They’ll all be hof.ers..lol
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:24 am
Hue definitely sucked.
The team was regressing as the season went along, and penalties were getting worse.
And botching the Lions two point effort is inexcusable for someone playing Madden video games, and I am not even sure what the word is for a coach to do that. A guy who has been an OC for 5-6 years in the NFL, around football for 15 years, and a HC for 14 NFL games.
How do you miss that?
You suck, that’s how.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:25 am
Hue needed 5-7 more years as the oc for a real hc.. He didnt know how to manage all those men..
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:26 am
If Al Davis were alive, he might have fired Hue after that Green Bay/Miami debacle.
The seat would have been warming up at the very least.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:28 am
Vegas,
Hard to ignore his talents. Chaz was a better athlete, but Criner is a better WR. He is catching everything in his zone, and he is making QBs look good. He did it in college, and now he is doing it in the NFL.

Come on Vegas, GM’s spent the week scouring the wire, looking at player movement around the league while keeping track of his own people’s injuries, players are added-released on weekly basis to fill out roster spots because of injuries and every football issue that arised had to go to Hue.
Maybe it wasn’t his whole week, but it takes some time and few coaches, estblished coaches, manage to perform both jobs, let alone a rookie who was unprepared to do it.
As far as your second line….you got a point, lol.

June 2nd, 2012 at 9:31 am
To answer Bob’s question, DA has to move the penalties and defense in the right direction, and win at least 7 games this year, IMO.
To me, there isn’t much difference between going 6-10 and 8-8. Granted 8-8 almost got us in the playoffs, but that’s because it was such a weak division.
This year it might take 11 wins to win the division.

Did The Reggie have every right to keep him? Yup, and he did so with some members of the coaching staff.
Simply put, our new GM, who is supposed to be the business, thinks Dennis Allen is a better HC than Hue Jackson, and next year DA might not have been available.
I guarantee you, Hue Jackson will be, lol.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:37 am
Im not saying hue was so bad that yr 2 couldnt be better.. But I dont understand how he “deserved” to come back. He should have made the playoffs and blew it..
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:38 am
There is a good feeling going into this season. That I haven’t had in a long time! Go Raiders!
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:40 am
Hue is kind of like TO.
The first year, every thing is great. Their is clear talent, work ethic, and a very smiley, all-is-happy persona.
Than after awhile, the smile is still there, but it just seems hollow, and everything starts to fall apart around you.
Than you get canned, go to another team, and start the whole process over.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:43 am
WTF are You People talking about?
We can/ will win the west!
Print that!
-SD is a good team, but they lack good coaching. Norv is a great OC, but he is not a good HC IMO.
-KC is a solid team, they also have a rookie HC, they don’t have a great QB like the rest of the division, but they can run and they have a good defense.
-Denver got Manning, but that’s all they have on offense. The rest of that offense is avg, and Glady regressed last season. Their defense is above avg., but nothing special. I KC and SD will have a better defense.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:44 am
Rich Gannon, the last effective Raiders quarterback and now a CBS broadcaster, was at the team’s complex two weeks ago to prepare for a game.
He noted the changes Jackson had wrought on the team and in the mind-set of players.
“He’s been able to put more of his thumbprint on this team than any Raiders coach in a long, long time,” Gannon said.
“He’s changed practice habits. He’s holding players accountable. I saw officials at practice the other day — that was something that I talked about when I played there, and it just never could get done. He’s doing all the things he wants to do and he’s able to do.”
—————————————————-
Can’t blame Hue for not trying, he needed more time.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:45 am
I think* KC……
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:46 am
I wouldn’t be suprised if Denver, KC and San Diego ALL finished 8-8 or better.
Nobody is going 5-11 in our division.
KC has the best defense and athletes in the division, San Diego the best passing game, and Denver has the best player (Von Miller) in the division and a HOF QB.
Tough-sledding for sure.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:47 am

David Shaw would be!
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:47 am
I never saw Hue hold a player accountable on Sunday’s.
Unless you count the two snaps he “benched” Rolando for, lol.
I did see him berate refs, roll his eyes at them, and cry to the media and camera’s about them though.
That works if you are Phil Jackson or Bill Parcells, not when you are some no-named rookie HC.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:49 am
Best 2 players in the division are DMAC when he is healthy and Eric Berry.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:51 am
Von Miller was plenty to handle as a rookie.
I can’t imagine trying to deal with him, when he is in his 5th and 6th years, in his prime, physically and mentally.
Gives me agita just thinking about it.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:51 am
KC looks like the strongest team out there.
Jamaal and Hillis running the ball, Bowe, Breaston and Baldwin at WR with Moeaki and Boss at TE.
That’s a ton of weapons to help Cassel out, if their OL plays well and their D remains solid (almost certain) they’re going to be trouble.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:53 am
According to players in the league, DMAC is a great player. He was voted top 100 players 2 consecutive years. He was ranked 60th this year, and he missed 1/2 the season.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:54 am
Forgot McCluster, he can make some plays as well.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:55 am
Berry is legit, but give me an elite pass-rusher over a top-flight safety any day of the week.
McFadden when healthy, is definately in the mix.
Same can be said for Jamal Charles though, who has much better numbers than him (total and per game), and they came in the league the same season.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:55 am
Bob,
I agree. I cringed a bit when I saw the article on Raidernationtimes and saw the pic of Hue with the X across his face as if he was some evil pariah, and I know that seems like the prevailing feeling toward him.
1st yr. coach with his BEST PLAYER injured, loses his starting QB, his owner and GM, numerous injuries to key receivers, and STILL manages to avoid a losing season.
Raiders should’ve won that last game against SD and won division but I blame the so called “leaders” on defense who couldn’t man up and make one damn stop to give us a chance.
Is he anymore of a “salesman” than any other HC? Somebody tell me what NFL coach tells you the absolute truth about his players, injuries etc. everytime. I’ll wait.
We simply cannot tolerate a 1st yr. coach who had all those challenges and didn’t win more games, but…we are told to be “patient” with Reggie and DA cuz they have such a mess to clean up.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:56 am
He was ranked 60th this year, and he missed 1/2 the season.
****************************
Von Miller was 52nd, as a rookie.
Eric Berry didn’t make the list, BTW (93rd last year).
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:59 am
The “mess” Hue left Reggie and DA to “clean up” is a team that was one stop away from hosting Pittsburgh in the playoffs AND a potential “elite” QB to get us there.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:59 am
Hue should have kept his mouth shut at the end of the season.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:59 am
I forgot about J Charles. One of the best in the division and the league.
You have a man-crush on Von Miller. Aldon Smith had more sacks.
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:01 am
You have a man-crush on Von Miller
**************************
That dude was amazing, I would watch their games, and he was CLEARLY the best player on the field for either team, damn near every week.
I think he will be better than Derrick Thomas.
I hope he shatters his kneecap at lunch today.

Haha no man, I’m just stating my point of view and respectufully disagreeing that Hue was as bad as they make him out to be.
A play here and there and the Raiders are coming of their 1st playoff season in 8 years and regarded as an up and coming team ready for more.
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:10 am
We were also a play “here and there” from being 5-11.
It cuts both ways.
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:12 am
If Seymour doesn’t block the kick in KC, we would have played that last game in front of 30K fans booing the living crap out of our team and HC.
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:12 am
Bob,
I’m with ya 100%. To me Hue embraced the “Raider Way” and poured himself into it.
He did the best he could and for a 1st yr. HC it wasn’t too dang bad.
Does anyone even consider what he had to go through during last season?
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:14 am
I’ll bet i’m the only one around that agreed with everything Hue said at that last presser.
He was right; it WAS A JOKE.
IMO those guys deserved to be called out for that humiliating defensive effort.
It was freaking pathetic.
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:14 am
It’s water under the bridge, but it doesn’t change the fact that Hue got a raw deal.
==============================================
I’m not sure I can agree that Hue got a raw deal.
There were some things about Hue that I really liked.
I always enjoyed the way Hue respectfully called Al “Coach”. Thought Hue did a terific job representing the Raiders early on. Thought Hue did a great job of dispelling the notion that being HC of the Raids and working for AD was a lousy gig.
I loved Hue’s aggression, although I must admit he went overboard at times. The guy was so aggressive he became almost predictable. Late in the game – crucial to run clock – you KNEW Hue was gonna take a shot deep.
No easy completions for Hubert.
How about all those fake punts ? Rock’s run in Houston was a fabulous call.
Hue was alot of things but he was never bland.
Enjoyed the way Hue established the reverse as a signature Raider play 2 years ago.
Hue did some good things. Wish he would have had better results reducing penalties, but I don’t think he was negligent in trying to do so.
On the negative side, Hue made some really inexcusable mistakes as a game day manager. Foregoing the FG against Cleveland was just ridiculous. Not going for 2 against Detroit was a real brain fart.
Then there was the back to back BLOWOUTS against Miami and Green Bay. Team appeared flat, uninspired and unprepared in those two. Instead of making a run at the playoffs the Raids took a step back and looked like anything but contenders. A good HC can not allow that to happen.
Then there was the ‘power grab’. Hue HAD to know Mark was going to bring in a GM. His post game ramblings after the season finale went too far. He should have known that kind of talk was going to raise red flags about his ability to work well in the upcoming organizational restructure.
So while I agree that Hue did some good things in a difficult season, I can not agree that he got a ‘raw deal’. I wouldn’t have been disappointed if the Raids retained him, but I can also understand why Mark and Reggie let him go.
Hoping for the best from DA, but I’m not counting on him being a miracle worker either.
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:18 am
If McFadden didn’t stay healthy (miracously) and didn’t make Hue look better than he actually was in 2010, he never would have gotten the job in the first place, IMO.
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:21 am
I always enjoyed the way Hue respectfully called Al “Coach”.
****************************
WOW!!!!!
You know that was all bull$hat right? Hue was just sucking up to the only guy in the NFL who was willing to hire him as a HC.
Your better than that man!!!
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:22 am
Raiderman,
Nobody’s arguing that Hue didn’t make mistakes…some big ones maybe, but I could give u a rundown of an equal amount of mistakes that a guy like..let’s say Lovie Smith made last yr. in Chicago and he is considered one of the better coaches in the league. Shoot, Lovie failed to challenge an OBVIOUS TD by Cutler that was shown on the replay..instead he held the flag and saved it…Bears lost the game.
Let’s hold DA to the same tuff standards. 1st yr. HC? Who cares? Good father? F U go play with your kids. (Sorry, I had a Glengarry Glen Ross Alec Baldwin flashback).
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:24 am
Let me know when Hue makes the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman.
Lovie has earned the right to make mistakes (which he does/did).
Hue has not.
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:26 am
Raiderman and people.
All your considerations on Hue’s mistakes and faults are valid, some of them are legit, some debatable….but you are juding a Coach for 1 year of work, that’s just not fair.
Should we judge every other coach in the NFL over their rookie season?.
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:28 am
Hue was a trainwreck all year, and it is too our players credit and talent they were able to bag 8 wins in spite of him.
Not rhetoric, I truely believe that. He was extremely lucky we didn’t finish 6-10, when you look back on the season.
There really wasn’t any game outside of the Detroit game that I can say we lost but really should have won.
Meanwhile, the first Donkeys game (different game if Orton doesn’t just drop the ball untouched), the Houston game, the Browns game, Bears game and 2nd Chiefs game, were all close games that we won, in spite of Hue screwing off the 4th quarters of them.
Kudo’s to our players.

I’m sure you guys read that pft.com article on Lester Hayes and injuries, here’s the best part and a great comment by a reader:
Lester Hayes:
“Lord, have mercy. It’s so much safer to play in the NFL these days than during my time,” Hayes said.
“We didn’t have any guidelines. You could actually lead with your face mask [as a defender] — putting your face mask on an opposing player’s face mask, without a $15,000 fine. You could throw a forearm shiver to the throat. People played with broken bones. Guys would carry smelling salt in their socks, so if you got a little woozy on the field, you’d reach into your sock for help.”

Leave it to a Raider to come out against some type of establishment let alone the players’ union. That takes some balls and Lester is 100% correct.
June 2nd, 2012 at 10:46 am

He was 93rd last year, blew out his knee in the first half of the first game this year I believe, and failed to make it this season.
$$$$$$$$$
Lol
I used the google machine too, and here is what I found:
Aldon Smith 37 tackles, 14 sacks, 4 PDef, 2 FF, and he didn’t start last season.
Von Miller had 64 tackles, 11.5 sacks, 4 PDef, 2 FF, and he started 15 games.
Miller is good, but he is not as special as you think.

——————————————–
No, I’m not.
I know it was cornball and probably BS, but I dug it.
Even if it wasn’t sincere, the message it conveyed was RESPECT for his boss.
For me, one of the reasons I rooted more than ever for the Raids – was to see that crazy old man turn things around and have one last laugh at all the naysayers.
That would have been the ultimate.
You probably can’t relate – but for me, it just ain’t the same without Al.
BS or not, I appreciated Hue’s public statements about Al.
Most Raider fans are happy Al is gone and the Raids are now operating like just about every other NFL team.
I’m not.
I miss the crazy old renegade that did things his way and didn’t give a damn what anyone thought.
It was so great when it worked.
It was also horrible when it didn’t.
But it was always interesting.
Most of the fans here have only experienced the horrible or mediocre. Can fully understand them being relieved things are finally different and embracing the new regime.
Hey, it’ll be great if Mark and Reggie get the Raids back to the top of the heap.
For me, it would have been sweeter if Al was still instrumental in getting us there.
Might have been lip service, but I appreciated Hue’s public respect for Al and paying homage to the ‘greatness of the Raidahs’.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:17 am
I know it was cornball and probably BS, but I dug it.
***********************
Fair enough.
I am not into the nostalgia and all that. I just want to win games, if that means with a light-weight, blitz and zone heavy defense, with a noodle-armed QB and ZBS blocking, so be it.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:19 am
We will see O.
Miller was the most impressive defensive rookie I have seen since Javon Kearse, IMO.
And he played the last half of the season with a broken hand, BTW.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:26 am
I always thought of myself as playing the “middle” if you will on Al Davis.
While I respected the man for all that he had done and broken down barriers and all that, and for all the great days of the Raiders of yesteryear. Every holiday season was spent as a kid/teenager, listening to my uncles stories and spinning webs of how great the old days were.
But, in my lifetime, he was a horrible GM and I really never thought we would win a title with him at the helm. The Raiders, in my eyes, weren’t a whole lot diffrent than the Warriors.
Always hope, always entertaining, but winning it all was a pipe dream.
The Gruden-Gannon years were the best years of my adult life (I was between 21-23 during those years, partying daily, in college, sitting on Mt. Davis for every game, etc). But then Al and the Raiders tried to shat on those years afterwards as well, and I honestly kind of took it personally.
Who the fck was he to dispel those great teams, after feeding me a bunch of crappy, almost always meaningless football for 20 years?
Sad to see the legend go, and I never want anyone to die, but him being replaced as a GM couldn’t have happened soon enough to me.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:27 am
Raiderman99.
Post 742, I can relate.
Now you made me get all corny….here’s a song to Al Davis, a man who truly did it his way.
“And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets I’ve had a few
But then again too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes there were times I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out, I faced it all
And I stood tall and did it my way
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
And now as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say not in a shy way
Oh no, oh no, not me
I did it my way
For what is a man what has he got
If not himself then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes it was my way”.
* I hope some day, each of us can sit back, sip a drink, smoke a cigar and look back at our lives like that.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:29 am
I did have some of his better, if not the best, drafts of late, in my lifetime.
He was knocking it out of the park in mid-rounds recently.
TP might be the last great move from Al.
That would be awesome.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:30 am

June 2nd, 2012 at 11:31 am
I love nostalgia especially as it concerns the Raiders. It adds to the flavor of the whole “Raider experience” for lack of a better expression.
But…that whole “nostalgia” thing means less if we aren’t winning games.
I’m all for whatever it takes to get it done…do it!
Too much talk of Raider past and not enuff Raider “present”.
Let’s appreciate the good stuff from the past but remain firmly focused on what it takes to win…NOW!
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:36 am
More impressive than Pat Willis? I don’t think so. I think Pat Willis had a better rookie season.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:40 am
That’s why I love and root hard for Reggie, a former Raider hand picked by Wolf, Madden and Herock to help out Mark Davis and keep a semblance of Raider tradition.
I hope we win, Mark never sells the team and Reggie stays here for a long time.
The game changed many years ago and we will never see another team full of crazy people like the 70’s Raiders, at least those teams have secured their place in history.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:41 am
I would be OK with nostalgia if it were somewhat recent, not 30 years ago.
Do you hear the Warriors or A’s keep spinning on about the 70’s?
As I got older, it just struck me as a diversion tactic, to keep my eyes off the bad football we were playing presently.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:42 am

Miller and Smith were both impressive as hell.
Might be a bit premature putting Miller into the HOF, but JFB has been pretty good with player evaluations and predictions.
Of course, he is predicting Slow McLame to have a big year.
Good luck with that one.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:48 am
Willis’ rookie year: 174 tackles, 4 sacks, 5 PDef, and 2 FF.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:53 am
Willis is the best LB in the game IMO. Millet and smith had great rookie seasons, but I agree with RM99, it’s too early to put Miller in the HOF.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:55 am
Miller and Smith.

Not predicting any Pro Bowl berths or anything just yet.
Of course it is too early to put Miller in the HOF, just going on the record saying if he stays healthy, he will get in.
I hope Elway finds a way to screw up it though. I have confidence that he will.
June 2nd, 2012 at 11:59 am
I will be interested in SI’s poll this year (of players and GM’s) of who they would start their team around if they had one choice.
As you could imagine, last year it was Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Manning top 4. AP was #5, and the only defensive guy in the top 10 was Suh.
I love those polls.

You’re most likely going to choose a franchise QB to build your team around.
It’s almost a no-brainer. Most important position and it’s more of a passing league than ever before.
Brady, Brees, Peyton all a little long in the tooth.
Eli, has two rings but in my book isn’t truly great. Most would disagree, but I’d take Ben Roth over Eli.
I’d say Rodgers would probably be the consensus pick at this point.
Could be that Kim Newt might emerge as the guy.
If he can stay healthy, I’d give Matt Stafford strong consideration too. Ball explodes off his hand with good accuracy and he’s got heart.
June 2nd, 2012 at 12:22 pm
Stafford is really good, but you can’t pick him as a guy to start your team around, with his injuries, and at best the 5th best player at his position.
I like Eli. One of the best 4th quarter and postseason QB’s in NFL history, statistically speaking.

Before the recent era where he gave free agents the moon, the stars and the sun and nothing for it when AD tried a Steinbrenner?
This era is unlike the era when players came to be Raiders and not just to get paid.

It is a new ERA for the Oakland Raiders. AD should have hired a GM such as RM to help out after BA left. The combination of AD, BA and JG should have resulted in a SB title. The Tuck Rule and trading JG cost the Raiders a 4th title. The Gruden years were fun. Why AD wanted to go at it alone and suck for 10+ years is beyond me. Thank God it finally ended.
RM….bring back the Raiders tradition at TE. I want to see an All Pro/HOF the likes of Casper, Chester or Christensen. TC should be in the HOF!
June 2nd, 2012 at 2:30 pm
771-KK,isn’t that one of the faults you had with Davis?If so,why does HJ get a pass?
June 2nd, 2012 at 2:34 pm
Nobody ever mentions who i believe was the 1st great Raider TE-Billy Cannon.
June 2nd, 2012 at 2:49 pm
Lefty, Al Davis never allowed Coaches to hold players accountable, so why should Hue Jackson be criticized forthe same. Didn’t he also work for Davis?
June 2nd, 2012 at 2:53 pm
You have to be pretty old to remember Billy Cannon.
June 2nd, 2012 at 2:56 pm
Hue Jackson had Al Davis watching him for less than 33% of the games he coached.
He could have done whatever he wanted the other 67% of the time.
Can’t blame Hue’s inability to control his lockerroom on Al.
June 2nd, 2012 at 2:58 pm
Who said Hue couldn’t control the locker room? The way I read it, the locker room was tight.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:02 pm
It’s amazing how much the league passes the ball now and how skewed stats are.
Raymond Chester’s yearly stats, are miniscule even to someone like Zack Miller.
Chester had 600 yards recieving, 1 out of his 7 years as a Raider.
Miller did it 3 of 4 years.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:04 pm
The first football game I ever watched was SB X. 7 years old. I rooted for the Cowboys. The 2nd football game I watched was Raiders/Steelers season opener 1976. I have been a Raiders fan ever since. So yes BC out dates me.
Bob Moore deserves mention……He took a club to the head in 1972 before the Pittsburgh playoff game.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:07 pm
Look at Joe Namaths, Kenny Stablerss, Terry Bradshaws Passer ratings as compared to Jason Cambell’s
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:08 pm
Yeah the lockerroom was real tight. They really gelled down the stretch of the season didn’t they? Really fought for their head coach in Green Bay and Miami didn’t they?
Multiple players went ON THE RECORD to say the McClain thing was a distraction. Carson told camera crews that he couldn’t get enough time with Hue. Campbell voiced displeasure about the way he was treated, and he was one of the most popular players in the locker room.
A coach should always be judged on how the team went from the start. This team went sour, in near historic fashion.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:09 pm
Pittsburgh fans beat the schit out of Bob Moore as he tried to board the bus in Pitt.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:10 pm
Jerry & Cork said the locker room was tight.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:13 pm
Namath and Stabler both threw almost 30 more career INT’s than TD’s.
Bradshaw was dead even.
Stabler did lead the league in passer rating once, and got 2nd twice. Bradshaw was top 4, five different times.
Soup I think finished 10th once.

June 2nd, 2012 at 3:14 pm
Cork implied Jason Campbell hates Hue Jackson in his live chat. Said he would never play for him again.
I am sure that came straight from the horses mouth.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:15 pm
I think we heard more kickback from players when Cable was fired than when Hue was.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:17 pm
One thing Stabler, Bradshaw and Namath don’t have, is a career 31% winning percentage in December, like Jason Campbell.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:17 pm
Losing 4 out of the last 5 is bad. I admit that. but historic? Not hardly.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:18 pm
I was just agreeing with your point on how the game has changed, and all I said was look at the passer ratings.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:18 pm
Jason Campbell’s winning % per month:
September-60%
October- 57%
November- 45%
December- 31%
Anyone see a pattern?

***************************
I agree with your agreement.
The way to look at old stats is compared to their peers, and not today’s guys. That’s why I said that about their rankings when they played.
I am sure Chester was a top catching TE in his day.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:21 pm
but historic? Not hardly.
*************************
Penalties?
Losing your last two home games with the playoffs on the line?
How many NFL teams had two home games to make the playoffs, and lost both, with about a dozen penalties in each game?
It certainly was historic for this organization.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:22 pm
Gotta jet, plenty to chew on
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:22 pm
To be fair to JC…..He was never on a good team.
What was Plunketts winning percentage before he came to the Raiders?
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:26 pm
There’s been 2 Raider coaches to win 8 games in the last 10 years. Hue Jackson was in charge of the offense both times.
If Jackson was an historic failure as a Raider Coach, what was Shell, White, Bugel, Kiffin, Turner?
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:33 pm
Jason Campbell has never been a player where you could put it all on him to win a game. Carson Palmer is.
June 2nd, 2012 at 3:37 pm
Carson Palmer needs a good O-line, just like everybody else.

786-yep!KK,not holding players accountable was a flaw of Davis.It was also a flaw of Jackson.I’m looking forward to seeing players finally being held accountable.It is also amusing it was mentioned Mark is too buddy-buddy with players.Has any owner/GM ever been more player friendly than Al was?
June 2nd, 2012 at 4:48 pm
I loved it when Cosell, Merideth and Gifford held the Snake “Accountable” in the 1979 Raiders/Saints game when the Raiders were down 35 – 14. The Snake vindicated everything we loved about the Raiders when he led the come back…..42 – 35 Raiders win.
One of my all time favorite moments in Raiders history!
June 2nd, 2012 at 4:53 pm
Snake was surrounded by Hall of Famers.
June 2nd, 2012 at 4:54 pm
God I hate this part of the offseason. It’s like having a pipe, a lighter, and no green.
June 2nd, 2012 at 4:55 pm
Snake was also surrounded by a defense that stepped up. Way up. Not to take anything away from his performance in the slightest though.
June 2nd, 2012 at 4:55 pm
Snake is a HOF’r in my book. He should be in the HOF!
June 2nd, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Yes he should be.
June 2nd, 2012 at 5:03 pm
Upshaw/Shell protected Stabler like he was their mother.
June 2nd, 2012 at 5:04 pm
The most important job a HC has is on Sundays and thats a decision maker. Thats something that should be learned from the start of peewee football or hell just playing Madden. I don’t give a shizt about first year coach. You should know from the beginning. No do overs. That reason alone is why Hue sucks and why lovie sucks as well Hue cost a minimum of twogames being an idiot. Good Rosen

Almost every troll is male; I don’t know why this is.
The troll has few social skills, and most have never had a girlfriend, many never will.
There’s a clear pattern among trolls; they are much more likely to ignore posts known to be from women. And when they do respond to women, they are much more likely to be brief, abusive, condescending and patronising.
This is almost certainly more due to fear than misogyny – they just don’t know any women. Except Mom. But their attitude rather reduces their chances of reproducing, which is probably a good thing.

Most trolls are pretty thick. Let’s face it, it doesn’t take much intelligence to sus out that the troll life is a pretty pathetic one, and given the choice, even a gerbil would choose a more rewarding lifestyle.
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:29 pm
I believe that most trolls are sad people, living their lonely lives vicariously through those they see as strong and successful.
Disrupting a stable newsgroup gives the illusion of power, just as for a few, stalking a strong person allows them to think they are strong, too.
For trolls, any response is ‘recognition’; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response.
Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it’s a game or joke; this merely confirms the diagnosis; how sad do you have to be to find such mind-numbingly trivial timewasting to be funny?
Remember that trolls are cowards; they’ll usually post just enough to get an argument going, then sit back and count the responses (Yes, that’s what they do!).
June 2nd, 2012 at 9:31 pm
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.

Great piece on the TE’s situation with the Raiders. You gotta think the Raiders offense is going to open up a tad more to the TE’s at some point. Houston’s offense utilized Owen Daniels fairly well I’d say. He’s always active and productive.

Trolls don’t have friends. On the internet, because they interact with human beings, they can convince themselves that they are important, the centre of the universe – that, to them, is better than any friendship. Don’t forget, the troll thinks he is always right, and therefore better than other folk. In real life, exactly the opposite applies. the troll has no friends and virtually no interaction with other people.

I know alot of you really like Mike bush. I think he’s average and Cartwright could have close to the same production given the opportunity. Lots of backs I would rather have, Benson, Battle, Ivory, and grant to name a few. Don’t think we’re gonna miss him. What do you think Taiwan would do with those same screen plays Bush got?

June 3rd, 2012 at 8:27 am
Re: 921
Isolated stats don’t prove much. I like Michael Bush a lot. Whether or not our current backups will prove to be better overall???? Who knows? But to campare Mike Bush to Darren McFadden on rushing/TD stats alone? Apples & oranges. Look at Pete Banaszak. Great short yardage rusher & scoring threat. Many more carries in scoring situations that other backs on the team. Over-all? Comparing Mike Bush to Darren McFadden….. Better take into account versatility, i.e., rushing and pass-receiving…..career stats – Bush 3521 yards/22 TD’S McFadden 3818 yards/ 20 TD’S.
And which of the two was given the ball more inside the 20? Or was simply brought in to “pound it” on short yardage scoring opportunities. I like Mike Bush’s style. Wish him well. But I wouldn’t compare him to DMac. Pointers and Bloodhounds hunt differently.
June 3rd, 2012 at 8:40 am
DMAC is one of the top NFL RBs, he has strength, speed, vision, and he has great hands. He is an elite RB when he is healthy. I like Bush a lot too, I wanted us to draft him, but we are not going to miss Bush, if DMAC stays healthy.
June 3rd, 2012 at 8:50 am
Just hope coaches can get DMac and Goodson to focus a bit more on ball security!!!………
June 3rd, 2012 at 9:30 am
Not concerned about losing Bush one bit.
Not sure if Goodson is an upgrade or not, but he isn’t a massive downgrade, and we didn’t get ANYTHING from our #3 RB last year, and I think we will get some productivity from the #3 spot this year.
Mike Bush is a career backup RB. Maybe a damn good one, but a backup nonetheless. Not one team offered him a starting job as a FA, and his previous team didn’t even bat an eye at him leaving.
June 3rd, 2012 at 9:34 am
I am anxious to see the defense. Its been many years since Al & his schemes were not used. This is where I expect the club to make the most improvement.
Its one reason Dennis was named coach. I am predicting big things.
Top 16 Defense!!
Seymour = pro bowler
June 3rd, 2012 at 9:35 am
Priest was telling us that Bush would get a $50 million dollar contract as a FA, and a starting gig.
June 3rd, 2012 at 9:51 am
He didn’t get $50 million, but there is a good chance he starts. It all depends on Forte’s situation and health.
June 3rd, 2012 at 9:53 am
@927 I totally agree. I think one of my favorite things about DMAC is the stiff-arms he throws and his attitude of trucking people instead of running around them.
June 3rd, 2012 at 9:54 am
Sounds like you guys already counted out Taiwan Jones…
June 3rd, 2012 at 9:54 am
Almost every backup RB gets a few starts a year.
I wouldn’t be suprised if Goodson starts 3-4 games this year.
If Forte signs his franchise tag (he will) and stays healthy, Bush will be lucky to get 150 touches this season.
June 3rd, 2012 at 9:55 am
Sounds like you guys already counted out Taiwan Jones…

I think he will be one of the best #3 RB’s in the NFL, lol.
June 3rd, 2012 at 9:56 am

****************************
That attitude is nice and all, but I would take him running around guys and an extra 100 carries per season over the alternative.
June 3rd, 2012 at 9:56 am
I’m not worried about our offense. I think we will finish top 5 in rushing, top 10 in passing, and top 10 in scoring.
If our defense can be avg – above avg, we will have a great team, and we can compete for the SB.
I think we can/ will win the division because of our offense, but I still worry about our defense.
June 3rd, 2012 at 9:57 am
@936 Well from what coach Knapp said in that radio interview, he plans on splitting carries to keep all 3 backs fresh. I think Taiwan is a beast and will break off some huge plays this year. Still think Goodson will get a few more carries though..
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:00 am
Not sure how much of a “beast” Taiwan is, but I think he can be effective in spurts.
He couldn’t stay healthy in D-II though, so I doubt he will be very reliable on a weekly basis in the NFL.
We shall see. I think punt returns would be a good way to maybe get him in space.
Curious who we will have as a punt returner this year, as with the new kickoffs rules, the punt returner is massively more important than a KO returner.
Will it be McCann? Ford is not an option apparently. Taiwan should be in the mix, IMO.
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:03 am
Our punt return game has been dreadful for years.
At this stage, I will take a guy who can run for 8 yards, not fumble, and understand how to run up and make a fair catch, instead of letting it role an extra 15 yards.
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:03 am
@937 yeah I agree that I’d like to see him balance out a bit in order to stay healthy. I still get pumped though when I see him crush a safety like Weddell. lol
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:03 am
McFadden is not getting injured because of his stiff arm and running mentality, and he can’t run around people. He doesn’t have those type of skills like T Jones and Dexter McCluster. He is a fast one cut RB with explosive speed, great vision, and he has a great stiff arm. One of the best stiff arms in the NFL.
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:06 am
@940 Yeah Taiwan hasn’t proven on the field yet, but i think he’s a great athlete and lightning fast. Hell yes he should be competing with Mccann for punt returns!
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:07 am
He is fast (straight line speed), but he is no B Sanders!
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:08 am
@943 Agreed 100 pct! I have the DMAC stiff-arm on Landry as my screen saver right now.
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:09 am
Ever since JLH’s great ‘08 season returning punts, the next 3 years we have finished 29th, 26th and 24th in the league in punt returns, with 0 TD’s and 5 lost fumbles.
Absolutely killing us.
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:09 am
My prescription is ready, I shall return shortly
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:11 am
Darren has definitely got hurt in strange ways, and not from really avoidable things.
Just saying, if this season he gets hurt lowering his shoulder on a guy and is out 2 months, that will be a killer to this team and season.
Save the extra yards and the shoulder, and let’s get some post-Thanksgiving day production for once.
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:13 am
I understand the concern about DMAC’s health, it’s valid, but it’s not an excuse to alter his playing style. He is not a WR, he is not a skat back, so we need to find another solution, or understand that not everyone can play in the NFL. Durability is a major factor in having a good career in the NFL.
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:14 am
In the last 3 years, we have had a whole 5 punt returns over 20 yards.
The 49ers had 10 last year alone, and twelve other teams had 5 or more just last year.
Dreadful.

I don’t understand why Ford can’t return punts?
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:21 am
I don’t either, but he has never been an option.
I don’t think Ford’s heart is in it to be honest, and he wants to be a full-on WR and not a “specialist”.
But kickoff returns are being phased out of the NFL, so his value there has reduced drastically.
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:27 am
I agree. Save the stupid stuff for the POs or trying to make the POs, but they should always play with intensity and lack of fear. I never liked M Harrison, but he was a productive WR. I don’t think RBs can do the same, and minimize injuries by trying to avoid contact.

Just Fire Baby,
Maybe DMAC will transcend his usual less than mediocre performances against top tier teams, namely the Pittsburg Steelers, which the last time they and the Raiders played Nov. 21, 2010, DMAC gained 4 yards rushing, while btw, Micheal Bush gained 24 yards.
Wonderful !

****************************
I don’t think it is a much of “avoiding” contact as just trying to reduce the impact of SOME contacts.
But the game is so fast, you can’t really expect guys to think too much out there. But I am sure Kelly Skipper teaches his guys a thing or two about how to deliver a good hit (or absorb one) on the pads or whatever, instead of somewhere more potentially hurtful.
June 3rd, 2012 at 10:33 am
Also, DMAC will never endure to game 15, so we will be relying on our questionable skinny legged Taiwan Jones, and the rest of the motley running crew.

June 3rd, 2012 at 11:16 am
@958 I think Ford has the ability to return any type of kick he wants. I like that he’s a shorter/speedy guy and may not take the kind of brutal hits a taller return man will. He will take hits, but maybe won’t get stood up and pushed back.
June 3rd, 2012 at 11:23 am
I keep hearing that Taiwan Jones is the fastest guy on the squad, maybe he will get in some time as pr this pre-season?
June 3rd, 2012 at 11:27 am
Yep apparently he is very fast, maybe he’ll show out in camp as a pr guy. If he ends up being the 3rd back, even more reason to give him reps elsewhere.
June 3rd, 2012 at 11:30 am
I’m all for Jones on PR as long as he can hang on to the ball. He’s not very big so I’m also a little concerned that he may get clobbered.
Is Branch an option?
June 3rd, 2012 at 11:35 am
I don’t know they would risk Tyvon taking a cheap shot somehow during returns, but he could very well deliver the shots imo
June 3rd, 2012 at 11:39 am
Do you think Tarver will run formations using MM34, Branch and Huff as the blitzer this year?
June 3rd, 2012 at 11:44 am
Sometimes injuries are unavoidable.
But there are instances where they can be avoided.
This is especially true at the RB and WR skill positions.
A smart RB knows when to quit struggling and go down.
Receivers that have long careers are able to find a soft spot and get down, avoiding the big hit.
Of course you can’t be a puss and give up too early, but there’s definitely a moment in many plays where top notch players should be thinking ‘I’ve maximized the gain on this play – time to get down – and move on to the next play.
We saw Tim Brown repeatedly find ’soft spots’, make the catch, get down – avoid the big hit.
We also saw Jason Campbell on a 3rd down scramble slide 2 yards short of a first down.
Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor – other times it is not.
Taiwan Jones is an injury waiting to happen.
Don’t want to sound like Preist, but I think he has the ability to be one of the most explosive backs in the NFL.
Problem is, he might not get there. He will continue to struggle (despite his thin frame) with 2 guys draped around him, setting up a fumble or injury.
You’ve got to know when you’ve gotten all that can be had out of a play and go down.
Live to fight another play.
June 3rd, 2012 at 11:49 am
Who knows, maybe Taiwan’s only chance is to somehow get it open space and create plays. Maybe he’ll surprise us with tough running inside, but yes I do agree that smart players sometimes do know to go down when there’s not much chance of forward progress.
June 3rd, 2012 at 11:50 am
LA KIIIIIINGS!!!!!!!
June 3rd, 2012 at 11:57 am
It also depends on the player as well.
Who is going to tell MJD what to do, when has 400 carries a year, and is just as good in December as September?
But if you have a history of being dinged and pretty much non-existant most of the time in December (like Darren), you got to try things to change that trend.
June 3rd, 2012 at 12:01 pm
Very true, we will see if Darren changes anything about his overall playing style or if Knapp just counts on a rotation to keep DMAC in it all season.
June 3rd, 2012 at 12:14 pm
or if Knapp just counts on a rotation to keep DMAC in it all season.
**************************
I would rely more heavily on the rotation at the beginning of the year, and save his 30 touch games for later in the year.

Chico,
Speaking of trends, How many DTs were drafted in the top 100 picks?
June 3rd, 2012 at 12:19 pm
That’s what I think Knapp will end up doing. However, if we don’t come out strong in games from the start, he may get more reps just to have the best guy on the field.
June 3rd, 2012 at 12:24 pm

June 3rd, 2012 at 12:27 pm
250 carries for 1250 yards for an avg of 15-16 carries per game and 5 yards avg per carry.
50 catches for 500 yards, 10 yards avg per catch, and around 3 catches a game.
Total is less than 20 touches per game.
June 3rd, 2012 at 12:30 pm
And 16 TDs.
June 3rd, 2012 at 12:35 pm
Guess it would be riding a fine line as a coach, not working the primary back too hard early season, and not pissing off fans and DMAC for getting too few carries.
June 3rd, 2012 at 12:36 pm
I expect this offense to be much more conservative than last years
June 3rd, 2012 at 12:43 pm
Wouldn’t expect all the trick plays that Hue pulled out of his sleeve either, but as long as we move the chains consistently and score in the red zone I’ll be happy.
June 3rd, 2012 at 12:50 pm
Hopefully we’ll see good 2nd half adjustments this season. Abandoning the run and going 3 and out didn’t work so well.
June 3rd, 2012 at 12:52 pm
Taiwan is the number 2 back. From what we’ve heard about him so far he looks better than goodson. Taiwan can catch Goodson can’t. The only possible reason for him not to be is blitz pick up and I don’t think anyone here has that info. Reece in as TE, DMAC and Taiwan in the backfield. Bam split them in five wide catching the D in base
.Oh imagine the possibilities.

Watched the Detroit game last nite. So many big plays with end arounds and screens with Reece and Bush picking up yardage in big bundles.

I wonder how much influence, if any, saunders will have in the offensive scheme.
June 3rd, 2012 at 1:02 pm
That’s because you are an idiot when it comes to football. Conservative? Really? With the offensive weapons the Raiders have assembled?
I expect this offense will be even more bold and more aggressive than in years past. With CP3, the revision of the “Mad Bomber” and some of the young studs on the perimeter the O looks like it’s ready to fly not walk.
If McFragile and Co. can give Oakland the same type of run attack from last year or even somewhat tweaked it’s “lookout below” time AFC West.
June 3rd, 2012 at 1:03 pm
AFC West = Bunch a beyotches
June 3rd, 2012 at 1:03 pm
The worry with McFadden getting beaten up is,IMO,unfounded.He hasn’t taken a huge beating and his injuries are not a result of getting hit.Hopefully Jones can also stay healthy this year so we can see what he really is.

===================================
Scoring early is great,but you need to keep scoring.Last year that was one of our biggest problems.We quit scoring in the 2nd half of games.
June 3rd, 2012 at 1:26 pm
As I recall we got beat at the end of that game by having RoMac covering Megatron 40 yds downfield at the end of the game.
June 3rd, 2012 at 1:30 pm
You have to admit it is too easy to look at one play and say it cost us the game.If we had scored just 1 more FG,or had 1 more drive where we just ate clock we would have won that game and a couple of others.I believe we were outscored almost 2-1 in the s2nd half last year.
June 3rd, 2012 at 1:32 pm
Agreed Lefty, but it’s done all the time. Many people blamed Hue for a particular call.
June 3rd, 2012 at 1:34 pm
KrappyRat and his girlfriend LeftNut! Love when I catch you two goobers spooning each other on the blog
KrappyRat, can you tell us again how you ONLY come on the blog to talk Raiders?
Besides talking politics, spewing racism and listing all the cities you visited, of course
That was a hysterical all time classic, old goat!
June 3rd, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Opposing coaches were able to figure out Hue’s offense and made good adjustments.Basically, Hue just got out coached in the 2nd half.
I hope that changes this season.

June 3rd, 2012 at 1:46 pm
RFL-it was frustrating watching us roll in the 1st half of game then do nothing in the 2nd half.Hopefully that change this year because that was 1 of the reasons why we missed the post-season last year.
June 3rd, 2012 at 1:49 pm
HaHa, KrappyRat somehow easily duped LeftNut into believing he’s being “stalked” also, classic!

As far as the argument about when you score, keep in mind that two of the top 4 teams in first quarter scoring last year were the Vikings and Panthers, and the top 2 4th quarter scoring teams played in the Super Bowl.
When you score absolutely matters.

Almost every troll is male; I don’t know why this is.
The troll has few social skills, and most have never had a girlfriend, many never will.
There’s a clear pattern among trolls; they are much more likely to ignore posts known to be from women. And when they do respond to women, they are much more likely to be brief, abusive, condescending and patronising.
This is almost certainly more due to fear than misogyny – they just don’t know any women. Except Mom. But their attitude rather reduces their chances of reproducing, which is probably a good thing.
June 3rd, 2012 at 3:04 pm
Most trolls are pretty damn thick. Let’s face it, it doesn’t take much intelligence to sus out that the troll life is a pretty pathetic one, and given the choice, even a gerbil would choose a more rewarding lifestyle.

Trolls have no life, no power; but by manipulating others, even if for just a couple of exchanges, they have control.
If they can catch an acknowledged expert, so much the better for them.
There’s no need ever to get caught by a troll, though it is amusing to see Mensa members frothing at the mouth.

Come on O stop baiting. You got yours. Lets talk ball.
June 3rd, 2012 at 7:53 pm
Hue was as bad as Cable and his record proves it.
Hue = Cable = good position coach but should not be a HC.

Srry O I disagree. Cable was better. He did more with less. For sure he’s a pumpkin head but better than Hue.

To some Hue Jackson’s a total failure, yet he brought the golden boy in, at quite an expensive cost.

June 3rd, 2012 at 8:08 pm
Cable is not better than Hue.
Cable swept the division, and couldn’t win more than 2 games outside the division.
Hue couldn’t finish the season, and lost 4 of the last 5 games. We led the league in penalties and yards.
Both finished 8-8, so why is Cable better?
June 3rd, 2012 at 8:09 pm
Explain please. If I wanna fight it’s mortal combat. If I wanna compete its Madden. Plz explain BTW?
June 3rd, 2012 at 8:13 pm
Less of a roster is one reason second is cable swept the divison. Both would have won it.

June 3rd, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Cable was an idiot. He started Fargas over Bush & DMAC, and the only reason he finished with an 8-8 record was having Hue as an OC, or did you forget that? What was Cable’s record before we signed Hue?
Btw, Cable had a healthy DMAC on offense and Nnamdi on defense.

For pure talent, to suggest that Huggy Bear Jr. is better than MCInjured is, shall we say, “Ray’s dick weights less!” (I’m high!)
True dat though in that he hasn’t played a whole season.
If DMC could be used in a similar fashion to last year but with even more pass routes out of the backfield the Raider passing attack could be like watching a track meet!
HueJaxCity over used DMC like a 13 y.o. abuses his hand when he first meets it!

Better than Who? Bush & DMAC?! I don’t think so.
Cable didn’t like Bush because he refused to play FB, and he liked Fargas a lot because he had heart (according to Cable).
Fargas had 440+ carries in 2 seasons, but only managed 5 TDs!

The troll has few social skills, and most have never had a girlfriend, many never will.
There’s a clear pattern among trolls; they are much more likely to ignore posts known to be from women. And when they do respond to women, they are much more likely to be brief, abusive, condescending and patronising.
This is almost certainly more due to fear than misogyny – they just don’t know any women. Except Mom. But their attitude rather reduces their chances of reproducing, which is probably a good thing.

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 pathetic

For trolls, any response is ‘recognition’; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response.
Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it’s a game or joke; this merely confirms the diagnosis; how sad do you have to be to find such mind-numbingly trivial timewasting to be funny?

BND, We take our blog comments seriously. Rest assured the abusive nature of said comment will be considered abusive and non-Raider. We have a file on each abusive comment, and when the comments, per file of poster, reach 1GB, we turn this over to the blog adjuster. He will most likely remove the handle from allowing to post under that said name. However, changing a handle or ISP renders us useless. If the adjuster feels it is necessary to take the next step, he turns it over to the blog authority, who, to be quite honest, is much to busy to look at it. Thus, it very rarely ever gets past the adjuster. That my friend is the nature of the beast I have to content with. But we have smart people working on a one handle only plugged into you ss#. Now I know that opens a can of rats, but, once we ban the ss#, the problem is and remains corrected. Peace out!

Did this get posted yesterday while everyone was talking Raider football?
Teams that run man coverage schemes primarily also divide their safeties’ responsibilities, using one as an in-the-box safety and one single-high free safety responsible for the coverage over the top. There are exceptions to that rule, and there are coverages such as 2 man-under, which assigns man coverage underneath two safeties, each of whom have coverage responsibility for a deep half of the field, much like the Cover-2 zone schemes. When teams split their safeties up and back, they’ll usually chase players with differing attributes rather than simply using similar players interchangeably. There are teams that will allow either safety to be the strong or free safety from play to play, but most that play with a recognized difference between their safeties have players who are better suited to one role or the other.
The strong safety becomes more like a linebacker than a defensive back, able to bring a presence in the run game in the box against large blockers, but the best ones have mastered a short-area coverage ability to shut down passes to tight ends and backs underneath. Those plays move the chains and can kill defenses, and the best strong safeties have worked at eliminating them. Tyvon Branch is an expert at this, and while he has been exposed at times when he has been asked by the Raiders to play in the slot and simply man up against wide receivers, he has been excellent against backs and tight ends, and may have been the only player to legitimately shut down the unstoppable juggernaut that was Rob Gronkowski last season.
http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/06/01/defensive-prototypes-defensive-backfield/
June 4th, 2012 at 5:07 am
That first one was just a tease
http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/06/04/secret-superstar-tyvon-branch-ss-oakland-raiders/
The Oakland Raiders enter their first full season without Al Davis at the controls, and as such, the team is in the midst of a major overhaul, both in terms of playing personnel and in the front office. Things seem to be heading in the right direction judging by the decisions that have been made this offseason and the good news is that the current roster does have a lot of talent, even if it is in need of some major patchwork in spots.
The team said goodbye to Nnamdi Asomugha last offseason and Stanford Routt just a couple of months ago, leaving them with a stable of cornerbacks with minimal experience or fanfare surrounding them, but they do have some interesting players elsewhere in the defensive backfield, including the focus of our article.
Tyvon Branch has been a jack-of-all-trades for Oakland, and has emerged as a force against the run, as well as being one of a very few number of defenders that can hope to match up against some of the freakish athletes that NFL offenses are deploying from the tight end position these days. Tyvon Branch is Oakland’s Secret Superstar.
Despite being selected in the fourth round (the 100th overall pick in the 2008 draft) Branch was actually only Oakland’s second selection of that draft, after they took Darren McFadden fourth overall. The Raiders were looking not only for secondary help, but also for a replacement for their all-time kick return leader, Chris Carr, who had just departed for Baltimore as an unrestricted free agent. Branch was supposed to add value as a returner, but to date his career in that regard is just eight returns and a fumble old, with one more for negative yardage as a punt return man. As a replacement for Chris Carr in the return game, Branch has been a complete let down. Luckily, however, as a replacement for Carr in the Oakland defense, Branch has been a revelation.
As a rookie he saw just 61 snaps on defense, but in his second season he was installed as a starter and his 1051 snaps were 72 more than any other Raiders defensive back. His 96 tackles and 47 defensive stops were each one short of the league lead amongst safeties, both held by Denver’s Brian Dawkins, and though he failed to record an interception, he did break up six passes and allow just 46.8% of targets when he was in primary coverage to be complete.
In 2010, he ranked in the Top 10 among safeties for tackles and in the Top 5 for defensive stops. In 2011 he was again in the Top 10 for both categories as he became a force as an in-the-box safety, and has now started the last 48 consecutive games.
June 4th, 2012 at 5:08 am
If there is an issue with Branch’s play over the past few seasons it’s when he is in coverage, but only when he has been put in tough spots by the Raiders–something that will likely become less of an issue now with the new regime. Branch is at his best as an in-the-box safety, and his strength is man coverage, but the Raiders would match him up in the slot in their sub-packages against legitimate wide receivers. This may have been a reflection of how confident they were in his coverage ability, but that is a tough ask for a safety, and it came back to punish them all too often. Similarly, he has been exposed at times when expected to play a deep zone, something that does not fit his strengths.
Where Branch does excel in coverage is when matched up man-to-man, against tight ends in particular … a trait most coaches would kill for, given the rise of freakish tight ends like Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham, and Antonio Gates. His ability to man up with these weapons is a skill few players in the NFL have. Rob Gronkowski set single season NFL records in 2011 for touchdowns and yardage for a tight end, and outside of the Raiders game he averaged 6 receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown. On four targets into Branch’s coverage in their Week 4 game, Gronkowski came away with just a single catch for 15 yards, while Branch notched himself a ‘pass defensed’ on one of the incompletions.
In two games against the Chargers, Antonio Gates didn’t have a catch to his name when covered by Branch, and he also blanked Dustin Keller, allowed Owen Daniels just a single catch for nine yards, and held Kyle Rudolph to a lone catch for negative yardage in their encounters last season.
The NFL is a copycat league, and with the explosions in production from the likes of Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez, and Jimmy Graham, teams can expect to see a steady dose of that type of player in 2012 and beyond. Those players put an enormous amount of stress on a defense, because they are extremely tough to match up with. Defensive backs rarely have the strength, and linebackers don’t have the speed and athleticism. In Tyvon Branch the Raiders might already have the answer in house, the kryptonite to the new breed of Super athlete.
Branch has shown already he has the cover skills to take these players out of the game, and he may have the best man-cover skills of any safety playing at the moment. His 2011 season proved he could be a factor, but 2012 could be the year he changes the way teams play when they come to face the Raiders. For that reason Tyvon Branch is Oakland’s Secret Superstar.

@RRS,
It’s not on Ty Branch that the defensive scheme was weak, and it says a lot about him that he excelled despite its limitations. I can’t wait to see how Tarver/Allen use Branch in the new scheme. His strengths and weaknesses are well mapped out in that article. I think the new regime will put Branch in better positions to succeed in what he’s asked to do. I think he can get better and the scheme will make everyone around him improve also.
June 4th, 2012 at 6:37 am
Poor Johnnie Lee Higgins. Can’t whisper the name Eric Weddle without the man flinching. He was good before that.

Branch is like McClain without the off-field issues at this point imo. high potential, but little production
Look – if McClain & Branch are great, but were stunted in an Al Davis defense coached by Marshall & Bresnahan … doesn’t EVERYBODY on defense deserve a shot at redemption in 2012 under Allen & Tarver ??

Reason: the eye in the sky don’t lie. It makes me puke a little in my mouth to have RoMac and Branch in the same sentence. The effort is there and determination to play hard for some guys and the lackadaisical play or jogging with visible celluitis of the gluteus kinda stands out on tape.

McKenzie & Allen have praised Rolando World Peace more this offseason than Gibril Branch!!
OTA reports I’ve seen from these two haven’t been pretty, either. only thing I’ve heard about McClain is that he got dusted by Ausberry in coverage. only things I’ve seen about Branch is he tried to double up with a CB on rookie WR Juran Criner in coverage and got beat … then he tried to snuff out a screen pass to McFadden and got juked out of his shorts!

No live contact is permitted.
No one-on-one offense vs. defense drills are permitted (i. e . no offensive linemen vs. defensive linemen pass rush or pass protection drills, no wide receivers vs. defensive backs bump-and-run drills, and no one-on-one special teams drills involving both offense and defense are permitted).
Special teams drills (e.g., kicking team vs. return team) are permitted, provided no live contact occurs.
Team offense vs. team defense drills are permitted, provided no live contact occurs.

They are drunk on expectations for a super bowl out of the gate with a 36 yo QB on a run first team, with questionable talent & depth at WR, with crappy RB’s, bad weather, 4 neck surgeries, and a hit away from the wheelchair.
No, I don’t wish a wheelchair for Peyton, but if you cut off the chickens head the body will crumple. Peyton is going to be a marked man.

I think I’ll make my own, RRS style
1. Carson Palmer [INT's]
2. Darren McFadden [injuries]
3. Khalif Barnes [false starts]
4. Tommy Kelly [offsides, inconsistent play]
5. Richard Seymour [injuries, inconsistent play]
6. Rolando McClain [complete bust at this point]
7. Tyvon Branch [average vs both run & pass. potential up the wazoo]
8. DVD [pencil legs, lack of awareness]
9. JFORD [needs to work on routes & ball security]
Allow me to clarify: I suspect many of these issues will be addressed and corrected, but the proof will be in the pudding
Can all 9 reach potential and eliminate mistakes in one offseason??
possible, but unlikely. Rookie GM, HC & DC

@Marks Hair
we did under Al Davis!!
unfortunately, that system was flawed
change was required. changes were made.
I mean, if we wanted to stay the same we could have just made John Herrera the GM [he had experience] and left Hue Jackson, Al Saunders & Chuck Bresnahan alone.
I think Mark Davis wants a healthy franchise that will win games though.
June 4th, 2012 at 7:52 am
#1305: Didn’t say their offense won’t be much improved…Just saying it will take a while to get that system ingrained with the players…Remember, it took a few years to really get it rolling in Indy.
June 4th, 2012 at 7:56 am
The donks were a playoff team…. But only because they fell face first into the Afc west birth… The Raiders fell backwards… The Donks fell forward… And the Chargers had the Norv turner spell they usually have, then picked up a little to late

The Donk fans expect Demaryius Thomas & Eric Decker to be Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne, and Jacob Tamme to be Dallas Clark all in their prime. And add a rejuevnated Peyton Manning who is go to throw for 5000 yards and lead them to a 14-2 record.
lol
June 4th, 2012 at 8:01 am
#1314: Manning, Mudd, etal catered the system to Manning’s strengths…The two go hand in hand…The Donks’ receivers and O-line will have to learn all of the reads.
June 4th, 2012 at 8:01 am
1312. I disagree. You dont “fall ” into or out of the playoffs. We choked/ got beat. And they played clutch..
June 4th, 2012 at 8:03 am
odd thing is, I think the majority of Raider fans would be happier if Mark Davis DIDN’T shake things up.
were upset when Hue was fired, were upset when Knapp was hired & Saunders was demoted, were upset when we dumped those scouts who had been here 30+ years, were upset Campbell, Bush, Boss, Routt & Wimbley [and others] were cut or not retained. didn’t trade any future picks or players to get a player high in the draft, etc
Hue probably would have dumped #55 too “he lied to me” after he was found guilty on all 4 charges by the Alabama judge.
I like the way this offseason has unraveled for us, so far.
June 4th, 2012 at 8:03 am
Good morning fella’s!
Anyone think DVD excels under Allen/Tarver’s defense with the focus more on zone coverage? I have a feeling he starts sometime during the season. As many of you saw last year, he seems to be able to keep up and cover anyone but struggles once that ball is in the air. I hope he added a bit of weight on him this offseason, he needs it!
Go Raiders!
June 4th, 2012 at 8:03 am
#1316: You got that right Fingers…I’ve seen Floyd twice and Waters performance of DSOTM…The Wall is even better.
June 4th, 2012 at 8:05 am
The real key for the donks is their suspect O-line. Their LT never really recovered from injury and it showed as he allowed the league high for LT’s last year.
If they can’t correct that, Manning is going to be eating the soil and every time he goes down hard, the Donks crowd will hush and choke on their throats.
June 4th, 2012 at 8:05 am
Mark… The Donks lost their last 4 regular season games … If that’s not falling face first into the playoffs then what is?… The Raiders only needed to win the final game… Donks were 8&8 just like … They fell face first into the playoffs…
June 4th, 2012 at 8:06 am
#1321: The development of DVD and/or Chekwa is imperative…CB is our biggest question mark.

Im very happy that marks in charge. I couldnt stand being a joke anymore.
June 4th, 2012 at 8:09 am
The new zone coverage scheme is only going to work if the front can get pressure on the QB. They will be sliced up if the blitz schemes fail. The DL has to mask the weakness/inexperience of the backfield.

June 4th, 2012 at 8:16 am
Not to mention, as you get older, the bones get frailer and weaker. The cold doesn’t help any for a career dome QB who relies on timing and precision. Also, the only way all his crazy last second audibles work is when all 11 of his players are on the same page. And you can expect him to scream at the face of the one guy who screws up. Maybe he becomes a little trigger shy to attempt audibles when he gets planted in the ground. Lineman shrugging, “oops, sorry Peyton…my bad!” Peyton just growling. “Why did I ever leave Indy!”….
June 4th, 2012 at 8:16 am

***
@G123
Bartell, Huff, Branch & Spencer might be the most experienced secondary in the league.
whether they play well together, fit the scheme and stay healthy is the main concern imo
Mitchell & Giordano as backup safeites have plenty of experience too.
perhaps the “inexperience” you’re referring to is DVD/Check fighting for the nickel corner job.
McCann might be the favorite for 5th CB since he doubles as a return man. Reggie has ties to Lee & Underwood though.
camp & preseason should be very telling as to who wins the 5th & 6th CB spots. backup safety Curtis Taylor has ties to Jason Tarver and played with Spencer in SF too. been making an impression at OTA’s while MM34 is sidelined with a knee injury. stay tuned

@Mark
saddled? Tebow won the division for them, as a second year QB. He’s produced WAY more than McClain up to this point.
he’s not in the division anymore, which is a plus. Denver fans loved him and that team rallied around him. Manning certainly isn’t a dropoff in leadership, but he doesn’t have the mobility that Tebow did, which hurt us. Raiders always play better against statue QB’s than mobile ones like Tebow, Young, Vick, Stewart, etc.
I’d rather see PM in the pocket with Tarver sending the heat and him getting pummeled versus Tebow running up the gut for 5-20 yards a whack.

Did you get the American version with Rooney Mara, and Daniel Craig, or the Swedish version.
The American version is the one I saw, and it is absolutely fantastic. In my top 10 fave movies ever, and I watch a lot of movies.
Bonus points to anyone who can tell me (without Google) why Rooney Mara is named Rooney Mara (hint, it IS football related)

It should be the American version so I am glad to hear that. I look foward to it! That is quite a ringing endorsement. BTW is your trivia question Wellington? Or something about the dad being a Giants fan?

Her maternal grandfather was Wellington Mara, and her paternal Grandfather is one of the Rooneys. Her and her sister (actress Kate Mara, who IMO is much hotter) are essentially heirs to both the Giants AND the Steelers.

One thing about the Spurs though (at least this year)…they are the only ones that were win streaky. I think they won 10, 11, 15 a few times…and ended their 20 game on Thursday night! They lose 2, or 3 after and then go on another run! Should be interesting!

He’ll be a back-up w/ some vet knowledge and strictly used to rush the passer on obvious downs.

even if Bosh only plays 10 minutes, it’ll be a home game and such an emotonal lift for the Heat I think they would win Game 5 with ease

I also can see the series going the full 7. I don’t know if I would use the phrase “win with ease” for any of the remaining games for either team. I honestly can see it going either way while still pulling for the Raiders of the NBA (at least when it comes to horrible calls against them.) Go C’s!

I’m pretty much referring to the offciating when it comes to the Celtics. Some of the calls are down right laughable. I wouldn’t dislike the Heat so much if they didn’t go about the things the way that they did when the 3 Jabroni’s joined forces. I stand by my statement the Heat are the Buffalo Bills of the NBA.

Oaktown is OK at safety and the O should be explosive. Questions are at corner and DL depth.

pretty sad that Tonga may be axed, before he gets a shot to start in the zbs. Thats the nature of this business though.
Schmitt knows Knapp’s offense. Has worked with him before [in Seattle} and alongside Justin Griffith. beastly run blocker. We’ll see what happens with Reece. I think they could do a sign & trade. perhaps just rescind his tender offer, making him a free agent. If that happens, we could start Tonga on the PUP list and use Richard Gordon as #2FB until he’s 100% at midseason and eligible to return

one of the dudes from Penn State [Crawford or Stupar]

I have a feeling it may be Bilukidi, simply because he played against weaker competition than Crawford in college. I’ll go with Stupar or Bilukidi

I stand by my statement the Heat are the Buffalo Bills of the NBA. Make the finals/ superbowl and then faceplant
***
@HB
I think the Mavs would have beat any team from the East last year. Same might be said of Thunder/Spurs
Heat didn’t have a big man last year. Still don’t!
Turiaf, Anthony & Pittman? Really?
Chalmers runs hot & cold. Norris isn’t ready for the bigs
pretty impressive the Heat even made it this far with Bosh out imo
DWade had a rough game 3 against the Pacers & Celtics, probably will next series too
———————-
I’m not saying there are not reasons (excuses) the Heat won’t win an NBA chamionship but what team isn’t thin in at least 1 area? The Heat are really good but I look at the important stats that will keep them from winning the big one. One example would be Chrystler Lebaron and D. Wade are a combined 0-7 when it comes to game winning shots under 25 seconds left in the game. They just aren’t clutch like Pierce, Kobe, Most of the Spurs and a handful of others. For the next 5 years the Heat will be on the brink of a title but the phrase so close yet so far will be used often.

Murph is another guy who drives Raider fans nuts with his inconsistency. He doesn’t do enough to warrant playing time from more consistent receivers. He’s a liability and a wasted roster spot.
kicking Murph to the curb alongside MM34.

If the Raiders are looking for possessions in the WR corp and not just the old tried and true Raider way, The Vertical Game, then Murphy may be looking for work. Ford stays just because of his return skills.
June 4th, 2012 at 11:30 am
If the Raiders are looking to getting away from “stretching the field” and going to a more conventional approach of separation and back shoulder catches then a guy with size has an edge over a dude with quicks.

Somehow I see a similar offense that Rich Gannon had developing in Oaktown under CP3. Lots of dinks and dunks, slants, roll outs and fades. Lots of stuff underneath and in the flats.
That wheel route with Reese is simply sick. DMC is Charlie Garner revisited.

Nice seeing Spurs fans in here as well. When I was a little kid, I thought professional sports worked like college and high school. That pro teams had a football team, bball team, etc. So when i was like 5, I thought the Spurs were the Raiders basketball team, so I became a fan. Still am.

@Lefty
every team does this. Look at the Packers. They have 5 locks and 6 or 7 other guys fighting for the last spot on the 53 man roster or practice squad
Raiders have DHB, Moore, Ford, Murphy & Criner
then McGee, Streater, Calhoun, etc fighting for the 6th WR job or practice squad. I think people assumed McGee because he has a year of NFL experience, worked with Carson Palmer during the offseason and has good size [red zone target]

“It’s tough, but you have to take it one day at a time. Make sure I get all my plays down, study every day, get all my fundamentals because that’s the number one thing right now. The plays aren’t too hard, it’s just my fundamentals that I need to break down and do everything I need to do to be successful.”
Bilukidi also commented about the difference between the OTAs, which include the full team and veteran players, and the rookie mini-camp, which only had rookie players:
“It’s a lot different because it’s faster, these guys know exactly what to do because they’ve been doing this same system for some time and they know each other.”

Rookie WR Rod Streater
Streater also commented about being able to watch and learn, while the veteran players practices and played: “I get to sit back a little bit and have mental reps, see the vets go, so it’s been a good learning process.” He also commented about the off-field responsibilities, including weight training and actually studying and learning the plays and playbook: “I’m going to try to get better in the weight room and learn the plays and take that time to get better with the playbooks and learn everything.”
June 4th, 2012 at 12:12 pm
I think the future is Moore and Criner with Ford in the slot and DHB will be on the outside looking in. I just don’t think he is ever going to be as good a receiver as the others are. Gotta love his motivation though. He plays with a huge chip on his shoulder. But DHB is a relic of the old regime.
June 4th, 2012 at 12:12 pm

I am thinking Ford is a lot more than a speedster who can play football. He’s a football player who happens to be a speedster. I’m bullish on a Ford rebound year. jmo.

DHB is a stud and will start and Moore on the other side! people forget how Ford was dinged up! Criner in the slot like they had Porter and Curry in the past. Moore is the smaller of the group. Raiders will trade or cut Murphy! Mark my word! He has more to prove than DHB!

DHB was a top 10 WR in the league last year.Not by total receptions but in categories like yards per catch,least drops per attempt,etc.

This is why I say things really are going to depend on what type of offense GK is going to employ. The Texans had some big dudes playing catch with Matt Schaub.
June 4th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
We all agree we should put the best players in the proper positions to help the team.Is anyone even close to Ford in ability to be a top flight return man?He could do both PR and KR.If he does it is possible his receiving opportunities could be less if for no other reason than to lessen the beating he will take.
June 4th, 2012 at 1:17 pm
@1658 Yea Schaub did have some big targets. I’d like to see a couple WR’s 6′2 or taller on the team, long as they have hands.
June 4th, 2012 at 1:18 pm
Bcz,at the end of last year someone pointed out that when everything was added together and taken into consideration,DHB was a top 10 WR.I was going by that.I can’t remember who wrote it.

To correct myself, we have plenty of guys listed at 6′2 or better, but how many are really that tall? Some roster postings tend to give guys a little extra size.lol
June 4th, 2012 at 1:23 pm
Dudes with size, hands, and the ability to separate I think is the prototype NFL receiver these days. Speed is not necessarily the most important aspect of the position any more. The Raiders appear to be heading in that direction from what I see.
June 4th, 2012 at 1:26 pm

Ford has never returned a punt. Not the same skill set as KoR. Not saying he ‘cant’ return punts, Im just saying we don’t really know anything about his ability
in that area. His skills as a KoR are greatly diminished with the new kicking rules, since most kicks are out of the endzone

I just posted his rankings. He certainly isnt a top 10 receiver based on those. Someone was pouring on the KoolAid a bit thick I think. Even if he was #1 in the league in drops per attempt, averaged with the rest of his #1s that still would but him around 30th-40th ranked in the NFL

Cobb is 5′10″ 192 lbs. 64th overall draft pick in 2011
4.37 forty
June 4th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
Best WR in the history of the game is unarguably Jerry Rice. He ran a 4.71 at the combine. Speed NEVER has been the most important factor to a receiver.
June 4th, 2012 at 1:33 pm
Ford is 5′9″ 185 lbs. 108th overall draft pick in 2010
4.28 forty
doubles as a kick returner
June 4th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
Speed in out of your breaks, and your ability to run routes with the exact timing are far and away the most important traits (well of course after being able to catch, which should be a given for a WR).
June 4th, 2012 at 1:37 pm

Al Davis always thought you could teach a guy how to play football, but you couldn’t teach him how to outrun a cheetah
That puts a big burden on the coaching staff imo

pay coaches peanuts, then tell them what to do & undermine them. Give them the most raw players in the league and tell’em to produce right away
Poor Sanjay.
June 4th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
Who would you try returning punts before Ford was given the opportunity?Thanks,Rock,that is what I can see for Ford.I’m not saying that will happen,but it is an option I believe should be explored.

The 6-foot-2, 250-pound Reece has played in 30 career games with 16 starts since joining the Silver and Black as an undrafted free agent in 2008. His career totals include 54 receptions for 654 yards and five touchdowns, and 47 carries for 234 yards and one touchdown.
