Raiders wrap up final mini camp, break for 6 weeks

By Steve Corkran
Thursday, June 14th, 2012 at 3:50 pm in Oakland Raiders.

The Raiders concluded their third and final mini camp Thursday, with coach Dennis Allen excited about how much progress his players have made, just about every player healthy and the foundation laid for the training camp that starts in late July.
The players won’t be on the field again as a team until they arrive in Napa on July 29. At that time, Allen said he expects all 90 players on the roster to be at or near 100 percent and ready to pick up where they left off today.
“I was pleased with the progress,” Allen said. “Obviously, we’re not near where we need to be yet. It’s always going to be a work in progress, but I specifically thought over the last couple of days that I could kind of feel that we were kind of figuring out what we were asking them to do, and I thought the guys really responded over the last couple of days.”
Allen said he and his assistant coaches aren’t allow to discuss football with the players between now and training camp. Even so, they intend to be in contact with the players to keep tabs on them the next six weeks or so.
He left them with a detailed list of things they should be doing between now and the time they reconvene in Napa.
“I want them to make sure that they keep improving on what we already started,” Allen said. “We’re just laying a foundation for what we wanted to build here. We’ve got to make sure that between now and camp that we don’t just put football totally aside. We’ve got to keep making sure that we’re staying in condition, keep lifting weights as well as keep studying their notes and the playbook.”
Quarterback Carson Palmer said he got the message and that he already has plans to keep in shape, as well as honing his knowledge of the playbook.
“Go back through everything,” Palmer said of how he intends to spend the next six weeks or so. “Starting with protections. Everything starts with protections. (Allen) fired everything at us. There wasn’t really time to sit back and absorb little things here and there, little nuances of the running game, little nuances of redirecting protections and two minute and all these different situations.
“So [I’m] really going to break it down, starting with protections and then going through all the run game responsibilities on the quarterback because that’s obviously going to set the tone of games is with our run game.”

Defensive tackle Travis Ivey returned to practice after being cleared from the concussion he suffered while lifting weights a few days ago.
Safety Mike Mitchell, fullback Manase Tonga, wide recievers Denarius Moore, Eddie McGee and Louis Murphy, defensive lineman Dave Tollefson, linebacker Aaron Curry, tight end Brandon Myers and center Stefen Wisniewski were the only players who didn’t practice Thursday.

Second-year running back Taiwan Jones highlighted an impressive three-day showing with a run on which he juked cornerback Shawntae Spencer near the line of scrimmage, emerged into the secondary and blew past two other would-be tacklers down the left side line.
The Raiders are loaded with fast players. However, Jones’ speed just seems to be otherwordly, especially when he gets into the open field.

Veteran fullback Owen Schmitt worked with the first-team offense quite a bit Thursday. He is making a hard push for the starting job, it seems, even if it’s real early in the process.
Allen said Schmitt is one of the candidates for the short-yardage role filled by Michael Bush in recent years.

It wasn’t long ago that offensive coordinator Greg Knapp talked about the tight ends being an area of concern. Fast forward to today, Allen is impressed by how far that group has come in a short period of time.
“What was perceived to be an area of weakness coming in, I’ve seen some significant improvement,” Allen said. “I’m looking forward to seeing what they do in training camp.”
Myers, David Ausberry and Richard Gordon have done an impressive job as blockers and receivers, with coaches taking note along the way.
Myers has an edge in experience, though Ausberry and Gordon are viewed as promising players in their own right.
“I’ve been around here a few years,” Myers said. “It’s kind of the same as it has been in the past; we just kind of rotate. But yeah, I’m in there with the 1’s right now and just trying to prove to the coaches and my teammates that I can be there and I’m just trying to make plays when my name is called.”
Myers said he has heard the talk about the tight ends being a weak spot with this team.
“People might think that because we don’t have the big name at tight end, but we’ve got guys capable of competing and making plays and we’re going to be fine,” Myers said. “Everybody’s pushing each other. Once the season starts, the best guys will be on the field, helping the team contribute to a win.”

Allen said he likes what he sees with the players on his roster right now. Still, there’s always room for improvement, so more changes will be made whenever there’s a chance to add a player that has the potential to make the team better.
“Listen, I’m never going to be satisfied with where we’re at,” Allen said. “We’re always going to be looking to improve, so it’s like I said, it’s an ongoing process. We’re going to be looking throughout this five-week period until we get to training camp and we’re going to be looking for every way that we can to improve this football team.”

Allen sounds as if he couldn’t be anymore pleased with Palmer after seeing him perform the past two months or so.
“He’s been an outstanding leader,” Allen said. “He’s taken to the new system, has a good command of what we’re asking him to do. He’s coaching the young guys. You couldn’t ask for anything better than what we’re getting out of Carson right now.”
Allen also sees a fire in Palmer that signifies to him big things to come.
“He’s got a little bit of a chip on his shoulder,” Allen said. “He wants to prove he still belongs in this league and can play at an elite level. As with everything else it’s all about your mind-set, and his mind’s in the right place right now.”
Palmer said he feels comfortable in the new offense and with his teammates, whereas last season he arrived midway through and was forced to learn on the fly.
“Can’t wait for camp,” Palmer said. “We got a lot of good work in, and you never know what to expect as you’re coming out of this last mini camp after the OTA’s and offseason workouts. I can’t speak for everybody but I’m definitely pleasantly surprised with where we are.
“We got a lot done. We put in a lot. We executed very well, there weren’t a lot of mental mistakes. There were some young guys, some rookie guys that need to catch up but for a new offense, a new system, and really a new regime, we’re in a good place with this time coming off to get ready for training camp.”

Tollefson spent the past five seasons with the New York Giants, playing for strict disciplinarian Tom Coughlin. He said he sees a lot of similarities in the way Allen runs the show.
“There’s not a lot of bullcrap that comes out of his mouth, which is important,” Tollefson said. “There’s enough guys on this team and in the NFL, in general, that can smell crap, if a guy is just saying stuff to fill time. He doesn’t to that. As a young guy, coming in and being as sharp as he has, knowing what to do as a head coach is pretty impressive.”
In particular, Tollefson said he has been impressed about Allen’s approach to reducing penalties and turnovers. Allen has said that the Raiders will be smart and disciplined.
Saying those things in one thing, Tollefson said. Getting results is another. So far, Tollefson is convinced that Allen has the proper approach to accomplishing the desired goals.
For example. Allen is showing slides of players committing turnovers and penalties after practice. It’s another teaching tool that goes a long way and something that worked well for Coughlin the past five years, Tollefson said.
“That’s something that Coughlin was huge on, showing us what he’s talking about,” Tollefson said. “If you turn the ball over and you get penalties, you will lose games and won’t make it to the playoffs. (Allen’s) done a good job of that.
“To give it lip service, that really doesn’t do it justice. Showing people the results of hanging on to the ball, getting the ball on defense and not shooting yourselves in the foot. The number of penalties that this team had last year was unreal. And then to go 8-8 on top of that, that’s kind of impressive. You got to see it for what it is. There’s no gimmes in this league. To keep setting yourself backward, it’s going to make it even tougher.”

    Maybe the Arena league should change their venue to that of a Spring/Summer league. Then play on a real football field using NFL rules. Year round football sounds good to me.

    NBA point guard Michael Dixon was arrested tonight outside a club with another man who was reported to be his cousin. The two were both extremely intoxicated on Remy Martin when they were involved in an altercation with another man in the parking lot. Witnesses say, the man, identified as Michael Kelly, drove his red Corvet into Dixon’s Hummer after the two questioned his ability as a real estate agent.

    I’m not sure how many CB’s the Raiders will carry this season. I think that they only have 5 on the roster right now.

  31. TxRaider210 Says:

    Should be
    1-Bartell
    2-Chekwa
    3-Spencer
    4-Lee/DVD?
    5-Black/Underwood? imo

    Great read Cork. Thank You. Now if only we can have a winning season….I can start bragging about my Raiders again!. lol

  33. Hardline Says:

    Not sure why Huff is being trounced for saying AD’s hands on defense was bogus, outdated, and ineffective.

    If you ever had a very old relative, uncle or parent, you have to wait until that relative dies to realize how far out it he or she really was.

    The same holds true for AD. Dude was an embarrassment, a raving incompetent who should have been busted to the curb years ago.

    Mr. Bush,

    Obviously, no one here knows whom another really is: many play out their fantasies of greatness for lack of accomplishment, while others hide their true accomplishments for fear of being exposed.

    I suspect most us here are middle to upper middle class working people earning a good living and getting by.

    Let me say this: if you do have friends in post production, sound and/or picture, here in LA, you must know that unauthorized distribution of others intellectual property of materials is the worst breach of agency relationship there is, not to mention illegal both civilly and criminally.

    I would suggest that you and friends be very, very careful committing such acts, as you might find yourself in more trouble than you can handle.

    Under the law a servant (employee) cannot pass around the master’s (employer)property, so that it is subject to ridicule en masse by an audience not intended to be so by the master.

  42. Hardline Says:

    And btw, I really loved how Reggie, in his earlier interview, dodged the question regarding the overhead projector.

    It was brilliant questions and a brilliant circumvention of the question.

    Great stuff!

  43. PlunkforHOF Says:

    Pretty sure Osi fired his agent and re-signed with the G-men

  44. Hardline Says:

    I wonder who asked the question;I doubt if Corky has the chuzpah to have asked it.

  45. Goldie7 Says:

    Thanks PfH. Good looking out. Will Osi be backup?

  46. J Hill Says:

    DVD is not getting cut

    CBs dont get cut for dropping the ball, WRs do. A dropped int is still a pass defended which happens to be a positive play for the defense.

  47. Goldie7 Says:

    Asked what question Hl?

  48. J Hill Says:

    Wassup Goldie?

    You think your boy Tebow will beat out Sanchesca, or is he on his way out of the league next year with Rex Ryan?

  49. PlunkforHOF Says:

    Not sure about him being a b/u, but the way the Giants rotate their DL, I’m not sure it matters. This is why Tollefson is a good p/u for us. Was a backup who got tons of play time and would start on most teams.

  50. Goldie7 Says:

    Hey J…How in the world are you? I’m still upset about our Lakers. I think the stupid Heat may win it all but then again ole Fisher may get his revenge and wins 1 more ring than Kobe Bean. lol

    I know what ya mean J. I would like Jerry West to be our GM again… instead of Mitch. Never really been a fan of ole Mitch.

    I’d like to see Ivey and Seymour in the middle with Houston and ShoNasty on the ends. Kellyy and Bryant off the bench.

    Does he have any experience at safety ?

    Don’t think Spencer is going to win out and start at RCB.

    Agree with you that DVD isn’t getting cut. In fact, I’d project him as either starting opposite Bartell or a close second string to Check.

    There is no way that New York football fan puts up with Tebow’s crap behind center. The bounced and errant throws, the stalled drives, the unnecessary sacks and wasted plays will get Tebow booed right off the field.

    @ Hardline #39, I would suggest that we reexamine the whole idea of intellectual property.
    If you publish a song or a book you have put it into the public domain and have lost nothing. You still have your creation. If you want to keep it for yourself, then don’t publish it.
    I can hear the screaming already. But I would point out that Mozart had no intellectual property rights.
    ——-
    What the hell are you talking about? I know you are a socialist and all, but that is not true at all. Published content guarantees you have a copyright, and the right to make money off the publishing rights. Something is in the public domain only if the creator has given permission or if it predates 1923.

    Two black rappers shot and killed by two black gunman this week in Stockton.

    Well anyway, a journalist (now x-journalist) made a comment recently that too many young black men massed together, someone is bound to get shot and killed. Of course same journalist was promptly fired for same comment.

  121. arkraider Says:

    Hey hardline I thought you were alright but I take great offense of what you said in post #25. Due to some unfortunate circumstances and a bad economy I too received the benefits you make jokes about. I have worked my ass off all my life but found myself and my family behind the eight ball and unable to sufficiently provide.the basic needs for my family. If it weren’t for the assistance that you joke about my daughter and our family would not have food. Your joke exposes you as someone who obviously has no compassion for others and a racist. I’ve read this blog for years and thought you were better than that. BTW I am a white guy and I have lost respect for you.

  122. backstageatapuppetshow Says:

    Ark Raider,

    Play victim some place else my friend. It was a joke, albeit a joke told with poor taste.

    Hardline’s intention was not to belittle you.

    His joke does not expose him in any way, shape, or form.

    What does your color of skin have to do with anything.

    Here is some advice my friend. Learn to think for yourself. Learn that the only opinion that matters is yours. Stop looking to make excuses for the way you feel and take some responsibility….

  123. Sullivan44 Says:

    Hardline’s not taking America’s demographic shift too well.

  124. arkraider Says:

    Backstage, my problems were not the point, just an illustration. Sure it was a joke, I understand that. But it was racist in nature and in very bad taste. I grew up in the deep south and lived with that kind of attitude all my life. It was one reason I moved away because I didn’t want to be around short sighted racist behavior. I am no victim but I won’t stand for blatant racism whether in the form of a so called joke or not. I am no victim in the least.

  125. arkraider Says:

    Backstage,
    The color of my skin does not and should not matter at all but maybe you need to look back to comment #25 because it is a joke made about black people, I only brought up my ethnicity to let hardline that even though I am white, I don’t appreciate jokes made at the expense of any ethnicity.

  126. backstageatapuppetshow Says:

    Racism will continue to exist as long as you keep it alive.

    The joke is essentially being reinforced by your reaction to it. Can you see that?

  127. backstageatapuppetshow Says:

    You are allowing other people to control your behavior and your quality of life with jokes….

    Why would you give a faceless person on a BLOG that power?

  128. arkraider Says:

    Ok so its ok to make racist comments but to respond to them is not. Wow! What color is the sky in your world?

  129. backstageatapuppetshow Says:

    I do not come he looking to be agreed with in any way shape or form. I come for the interaction, for the give and take. I am much more likely to respect someone who disagrees with me than someone who agrees, so as they can back up their viewpoint.

    I would love if you could see that jokes on a BLOG have nothing to do with you, your family, your color, or your situation.

    I am quite sure you are a honorable human being with great intentions. I only ask that you look at this situation and see that if you let the little things bother you, what do you think is going to happen when something big comes along?

    Conversely, if you CAN in fact handle the little things, the BIG things will take care of themselves…

    Just my take’

  130. Hardline Says:

    Backstage,

    It wasn’t my joke. It was told by a tea-partier, in all places, Arkansaw.

    Arkraider,

    The time period from 2009 until now has been a struggle for me too. This year has been particularly bad. I haven’t been on public assistance, but, if you need it, take it; you probably paid into it for many, many years. I hope things get better. The problem is, no one knows what to do, especially the politicians and economists.

  143. backstageatapuppetshow Says:

    We aren’t all divided. It is an illusion. We are all very much in this together and equally responsible for the results we see in front of us today.

    We have created the world we see.

    Once we/I realize that fact, things will change.

    After they change, they will change again…and so forth…

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Mr. Bush,

    Obviously, no one here knows whom another really is: many play out their fantasies of greatness for lack of accomplishment, while others hide their true accomplishments for fear of being exposed.

    I suspect most us here are middle to upper middle class working people earning a good living and getting by.

    Let me say this: if you do have friends in post production, sound and/or picture, here in LA, you must know that unauthorized distribution of others intellectual property of materials is the worst breach of agency relationship there is, not to mention illegal both civilly and criminally.

    I would suggest that you and friends be very, very careful committing such acts, as you might find yourself in more trouble than you can handle.

    Under the law a servant (employee) cannot pass around the master’s (employer)property, so that it is subject to ridicule en masse by an audience not intended to be so by the master.
    ================================================

    You are kidding right? I would put my legal background against yours. No distribution has happened on any level worth mentioning. So your point is?

    Of course they can (fool). They just can’t distribute it for profit or to others for profit. Now, you have claimed more than once you have legal authorization to practice.

    Man, if I were an OKC fan, I am not sure what I would make of Westbrook.

    He gets hot at times, and is awesome at going at the rim and is very solid defensively.

    But his decision-making, and shot selection are abysmal at times.

    He might be the most frustrating All-Star I ever watched.

  171. hwnrdr Says:

  172. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I agree, Durant was 7 for 7 in the second half at one point in time.

    I am of the belief that it is unacceptable for a star player like that to be 7 for 7. I would rather him 12 of 16 or something.

    Point is, if your making every shot, you need a helluva lot more than 7 shots!!!!!

  175. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Although Durant’s last shot was a head-scratcher.

    Not sure why you shoot it so quickly there. Even if he makes it, it is a tie game with 8 seconds left, and you know Lebron or Wade would get in the paint for that last shot.

    I would have worked it down and tried to find a good look from 3 and the win.

    Sometimes you have to play for the win, when you are losing ALL game long, and have your stars in foul trouble.

  176. hwnrdr Says:

    I agree! Also, there were a trade of either close calls or a non call last night!
    Durant driving to the rim and Battier tried to get the charge…yeah, that was really close to Durant fouling out.
    And James did foul Durant before the last 3 point attemp (the one he also missed)!

    That should have been a charge for sure.

    I thought it was officiated kind of weird last night. The first quarter, dudes were just banging into each other and you couldn’t get a foul call.

    Than to start the 3rd quarter, they started calling all these ticky-tack fouls.

    And than down the stretch again, you could just clobber the guy and get away with it.

    The Thunder need to make a starting lineup change, or at least be prepared to make substitutions very quickly.

    nice to see James on Durant when he missed the final shot. James gets the rebound, sinks both FT’s to put the game on ice

    I think the play of te game was when Wade was driving and then as he was going up, passed to Bosh for an easy dunk. LeBrons shot off the glass was clutch though! I think Battier’s 3 where it looked like it was too hard and then falling in kind of stopped the Thunder’s comeback with 4 minutes left!

    A: You know, since we’ve been here he’s been great. I’m not going to hold anything over his head about what he’s done in the past. We’re only concerned with what he does from here on out. Coaches preach to the players about being accountable, being disciplined on and off the field, so we’ll take care of the issues as they come.

    Q: You guys sat down and talked?
    A: I haven’t. The head coach has spoken with him.

    Q: Do you have to worry though that legally he could potentially not even be available to you?
    A: Oh yeah. That’s part of our deal is just sitting and waiting for that process to kind of take its course. Absolutely. The only thing we can do is sit and wait.

    Q: Are you in much better cap space for next season now than you were coming in?

Now, he’s improved with his technique and his fundamentals and all the little idiosyncrasies of what they want from a quarterback, he’s improved since April when they first got him on the field. So they’ve seen some progress there. Now it’s going to be up to him to dive into that playbook and know it when he comes back and so he don’t have to think plays, technique work, and you know, it’s a whole going through his style of quarterback. His history has not been as indepth as the other guys so he’s learning the whole gamut. I’m ecstatic on how he’s going about his business here. But time will tell when we put him in preseason games. See how he does.”

    ***

    there you have it, G123!

    straight from the horses mouth.

  216. Bob Marley Says:

    Ok, I read some of the same old crap about the Gruden-Gannon era yesterday, mainly that Al Davis was away in court and had little or nothing to do with those teams.

    Time to clear things out, Al Davis was very much involed, in fact it it was Davis and Bruce Allen who came up with the idea of signing Rich Gannon, not Jon Gruden.

    Here it is straight from Gruden and Gannon:

    The Gannon signing, from Gruden’s book:

    “Jeff George had an option in his contract after the ’98 season, and we didn’t pick it up, thus allowing him to become a free agent.

    There were a couple of other free-agent quarterbacks available whom we were interested in—Rich Gannon, who had been with the Chiefs, and Trent Green, who had been with the Redskins.

    The 1999 draft also was going to be a big one for quarterbacks with Tim Couch, Donovan McNabb, Akili Smith, Daunte Culpepper and Cade McNown expected to be first-round picks—which they were.

    Gannon was thirty-three years old and had kind of bounced around the league. But he had played well against the Raiders, AND AL DAVIS AND BRUCE ALLEN WANTED ME TO TAKE A LOOK AT HIM.”

    When I watched his game film, I saw a great athlete; he was always a threat to run the ball. I saw an accurate passer. The bottom line was that the guy was a winner.”

    Gannon on Al Davis involvement during those years:

    “Mr. Davis was at the facility every day,” Gannon said.

    “He was out at practice. He traveled with us. He was at minicamp, training camp, meeting with the coaches, involved with the draft. He was about as hands-on an owner as there ever was or ever will be.

    “every decision we make in this business will always be the right one. But he thought everything through, and he always made the decision that he thought would help bring a world championship to Oakland.

    I thought he had a very difficult time enjoying a win. We could have won four in a row, been in first place, but he was always so focused on the big prize. He had so much experience, he knew you could always be one injury away from not making the playoffs. Or he didn’t like the run defense. Or he didn’t like the turnovers in the red zone. He was just so focused on what was coming next.”

    Gruden on Al Davis involvement during those years:

    “Al can ask me a question and I’m able to hit that baby out of the park, a home run” Gruden said, laughing, swinging an imaginary bat and watching an imaginary home run.

    “Then he’ll ask me another one and I might hit a single. And then another one can come, and I’ll feel the heat. Sometimes, it’s a curveball and I just say, ‘I don’t have an answer for that.”

    Oh yeah, he’s still involved. This is the only guy I’ve ever met who loves football more than me.”

  217. theghostronin79 Says:

    We are in great hands with Palmer.

    =============================

    Absolutely, I haven’t felt this content about our QB since Gannon. When Palmer says he’s gonna break down the playbook and disect everything over these next 6 weeks, you better believe he WILL. Expect a STORNG commading presence in that huddle once the season comes. He’ll be done learning by training camp, and he’ll be able to push his offense to get better and put less focus on his own needs.

    I’m SO Jacked for Carson to drive this bus.

  221. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Q: Looking for big back with loss of Bush?
    McKenzie: We don’t have that big back, but we’ve got a couple of backs that are playing fullback for us that can be that guy. We feel good about the versatility of Marcel, and all our fullbacks have the ability to run it. Schmitt can run it, short yardage. We got some guys that can, I’m kind of anxious to see them in preseason. But like I said, we’ll continue to beat down the doors and see if we can bring guys in. We won’t stop that until it’s time to play our Monday night game in September. We’ll continue. Nothing is on the horizon, though.

    I can take all the reports of wobbly deep passes, poor footwork, etc with a grain of salt. But DA saying he’s not close yet is what sticks out to me. But he’s got time and with Leinart aboard, he’ll be given more time. So we’ll see.

    Great point. and it illustrates maybe the issue you brought up earlier about leaning on McClain this year. His hands are tied and he really doesn’t have anything he can do about it.

  237. Bob Marley Says:

    Back in Houston, Kubiak’s offense used a true FB in Vonta Leach and then Lawrence Vickers, two TE’s in Owen Daniels, who did most of the pass-catching and Joel Dreessen who did most of the blocking, plus a hybrid FB-TE in James Casey who was like a wild-card but didn’t see as much time as the other guys.

    Can we go with Schmitt as the FB, Ausberry catching and Myers blocking, with Marcel Reece as the wild card FB-TE hybrid?.

    Houston was just an example, our players have different skills, Daniels a TE was their best player out of that bunch, Reece, a FB is our best player, so playing time and roles would need to get sorted out.

    But I like the idea of having multiple options at FB-TE, if Knapp can figure out a way to properly rotate those guys we can create a ton of matchup problems for the Defense, the key would be not giving stuff away based on who’s in and who’s out on any given play.

  238. RaiderRockstar Says:

    The players won’t be on the field again as a team until they arrive in Napa on July 29. At that time, Allen said he expects all 90 players on the roster to be at or near 100 percent and ready to pick up where they left off today.

    Thats 22 personal, you really want DMAC off the field? Or is he on the field in this example making it 32 personal, with only 1 WR? I think it is far more likely that if we run any 22 personal that it is either schmitt blocking or reece coming in as a receiver option, I doubt if both will be on the field at the same time.

    Also I think if run any 2 TE sets with one being exclusively a blocker, than Gordon will beat out Myers.

  247. guest123 Says:

    @ post 237,

    I like the idea of mismatches, but our TE’s are nothing in comparison to Owens Daniels or even Joel Dreesen (who is now a Donk). Unless someone from our TE crew emerges, it will be difficult to keep the defense honest as you say with those mismatches. Looks good on paper, but we are a long ways from seeing the execution.

    @ Dakota,

    Sure, but this is smart coaching staff and they are aiming to put personnel on the field versatile enough to keep the defense guessing. I don’t think TJ in the game will be as easy to diagnose this coming year.

    Personally, I’d imagine TJ in the Dex McCluster role, sometimes split wide to get him out in space immediately. This plays to his strength and opens up the field.

    Taiwan’s not built for 20 carries and probably never will be. But give him 8-12 plays running and receiving and it’s just enough to send defensive coordinators sick to their stomachs.

    Question:

    if Schmitt leaves bloodstains on the other players jerseys,

    do we call him “Schmittstains” ??

    I was talking about practice yesterday when Moore, Murphy & McGee missed it due to injury!

    who was starting opposite Heyward-Bey?

    Ford, Criner or Streater?

  259. RaiderRockstar Says:

    It wasn’t long ago that offensive coordinator Greg Knapp talked about the tight ends being an area of concern. Fast forward to today, Allen is impressed by how far that group has come in a short period of time.
    “What was perceived to be an area of weakness coming in, I’ve seen some significant improvement,” Allen said. “I’m looking forward to seeing what they do in training camp.”
    Myers, David Ausberry and Richard Gordon have done an impressive job as blockers and receivers, with coaches taking note along the way.
    Myers has an edge in experience, though Ausberry and Gordon are viewed as promising players in their own right.

    Reggie & Dennis both gave the TE’s a thumbs up?

    I disagree that McCluster is overrated. It depends on who is “rating” him. Is he Chris Johnson lite? No. He’s not been hyped to be anything more than a COP scatback with ability to take it to the house on any play. I don’t think anyone is suggesting Taiwan Jones or Dex McCluster is a workhorse back capable of 250 carries a season.

  262. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Tollefson spent the past five seasons with the New York Giants, playing for strict disciplinarian Tom Coughlin. He said he sees a lot of similarities in the way Allen runs the show.
    “There’s not a lot of bullcrap that comes out of his mouth, which is important,” Tollefson said. “There’s enough guys on this team and in the NFL, in general, that can smell crap, if a guy is just saying stuff to fill time. He doesn’t to that. As a young guy, coming in and being as sharp as he has, knowing what to do as a head coach is pretty impressive.”
    In particular, Tollefson said he has been impressed about Allen’s approach to reducing penalties and turnovers. Allen has said that the Raiders will be smart and disciplined.
    Saying those things in one thing, Tollefson said. Getting results is another. So far, Tollefson is convinced that Allen has the proper approach to accomplishing the desired goals.

    RRS,

    Taiwan’s not built for 20 carries and probably never will be. But give him 8-12 plays running and receiving and it’s just enough to send defensive coordinators sick to their stomachs. This isn’t fantasy football, this is winning games by having more threats on the field than the defense is comfortable accounting for.

    =======================================

    Yeah, you remember his first preseason game?

    He came in and capped an 10 play drive with a TD, 7 or 8 of those plays were runs by Jones that increased with each touch 4yds, 7yds, 15yds, and the touchdown was like 25-30yds I think. You’re right, he doesn’t need to play MUCH….but get him in a short rythm and he’ll raise the roof.

  265. Method To My Madness Says:

    Eventually before season’s end Criner 1 Moore 2 and Ford 3…..dhb will be demoted and this is prolly his last year with Raiders….Murphy bout to get axed

    Maybe so. But you remember some of those runs? Stopping on a dime, weight shifted forward, making an impossible cut and going upfield like the defense was in quicksand. Whatever the defense was on the field, there’s nobody who could have defended that piece of running on that day.

  279. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Allen is showing slides of players committing turnovers and penalties after practice. It’s another teaching tool that goes a long way and something that worked well for Coughlin the past five years, Tollefson said.
    “That’s something that Coughlin was huge on, showing us what he’s talking about,” Tollefson said. “If you turn the ball over and you get penalties, you will lose games and won’t make it to the playoffs. (Allen’s) done a good job of that.
    “To give it lip service, that really doesn’t do it justice. Showing people the results of hanging on to the ball, getting the ball on defense and not shooting yourselves in the foot. The number of penalties that this team had last year was unreal. And then to go 8-8 on top of that, that’s kind of impressive. You got to see it for what it is. There’s no gimmes in this league. To keep setting yourself backward, it’s going to make it even tougher.”

  283. guest123 Says:

    Kyle Williams is lost in that depth chart, with all the wideouts the niners signed.

  284. RaiderRockstar Says:

    In the playoffs, Williams caught two passes and made a key block on Alex Smith’s go-ahead 28-yard touchdown run in a 36–32 divisional round win over the New Orleans Saints. With Ted Ginn Jr. injured, Williams started at wide receiver and performed punt returns in the 49ers’ 20–17 loss in the NFC championship game. He lost two fumbles returning punts, including one in overtime that preceded the game-winning field goal by the New York Giants. His other fumble in the fourth quarter was followed by a Giants’ touchdown to retake the lead, 17-14

    [WIKI]

    yet oddly enough, if the 49ers dumped Kyle Williams and we scooped him up, he’d instantly be our best punt return man!

Driving 80 mph seemed like 50. miss that thing. used to drive to rock concerts in it all the time & I put a system in it, LOL

    drove that thing until the wheels fell off. Finally traded it in for a ‘97 Chevy S10. black shortbed truck, gray inside. tinted the windows and had by big Raiders decal on there. spray-on bedliner. Euro’s. system. the works. loved that sucker too, until I totalled it

    no man, I worked in the kitchen as a Dietary Aide. figured it was better than fast food. got tons of hours, better pay and didn’t have to wear some gey hat or uniform. was pretty humbling to walk down the hallway smelling old folks #1 & #2 though … on my way to the kitchen no less

    was pretty popular with the nurses and the chicks who worked in the activities dept tho!

    I think Burris is definately gonna push for it. Curry’s gonna have to elevate his play to keep his job, but I think that he will keep it. You may see an almost even split of snaps though, towards the end of the year. They could both end up being situational guys, and they could rotate LB’s the way they do DL.

    Agreed. I think that, in the end, the Raiders will have LB by committee. Having a “multiple” defense means there are lots of opportunities for guys with different skill sets

    I also think Reece is going to be transitioning into more of a “Utility” guy, with Schmidt being the primary Lead blocker.

    ******

    I’m not too keen on CP3 running naked bootlegs either. Over his career, he’s averaged less than 50 yards rushing per year and a 1.8 ypc. He’s clearly out of his element and an old dog learning new tricks. He’s a pocket passer, and Knapp better figure that out before he gets CP3 killed.

  414. TxRaider210 Says:

    Imo, CP3 just needs to not make hasty sideline throws that can lead to picks. If he can throw those away instead of giving the ball away he’s good.

  415. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Knapp is no fool, he’s not going to be running naked boots all game long.

    I think you will see a lot of misdirection play-action, that will have Palmer moving around a little, but somewhat within the pocket, so it will be more of a test of footwork than athleticism.

    “Well, be prepared for the Super-Duper suprise this year when we win the division and the national media is talking about the Carson Palmer resurgence on Sportscenter.”

    I have the same feeling that Carson will have a great year because he has a chip on his shoulders to prove he is still a top QB in the NFL.

    The thing I like about him is his ability to make reads at the LOS.

    Palmer ran Boots at USC. It’s not like he’s learning “NEW” tricks…but he IS an old dog though. All he needs is for the Defense to hesitate just a fraction. DMAC will facilitate that, and Carson’s gonna dump the ball down field. He doesn’t wanna run any more than WE want him to run believe me.

    Satele sucked in short yardage and wasn’t always stellar in pass protection, but I am not sure there was a better center in the league in getting out on those screen plays, and screens WERE a huge part of our offense last year.

    I really don’t want CP3 to have a remarkable or even top 10 QB year. The offense should flow through DMC, and he should be carrying this team with 2000+ combined yards and 20 TDs. The passing game should take a backseat to DMC.

  428. Just Fire Baby Says:

    “If” Darren goes down?

    He has about as much chance of playing 16 games as I do.

  435. Just Fire Baby Says:

    We went 8-8 with him playing 14 games in 2010 and 8-8 with him playing 8 games in 2011, so I don’t think his value is that dire to our team.

    Our strength is in our WR’s play-making abilities and our QB.

  436. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Of course you want him out there, but we lose to Green Bay, Miami and Denver with him in there or not.

    Clean up the turnovers, penalties and defense, and we can win with Mike Goodson.

  437. guest123 Says:

    I won’t argue that our WR crew is getting so much better than a couple of years ago. And that CP3 is a legit franchise QB. But our franchise rides on DMC. He’s a beast. That’s like asking Minnesota to win games on the strength of their wideouts and young QB. DMAC is our MVP.

    I believe Carlisle will play his best ball this year, lead us to the playoffs, and than walk off into the sunset and retire.

    Agreed. he turns 35 in August

    Since 2005, he’s only missed 1 start [iron man!!]

    just got cut, changed positions & re-signed to a cheap 1-year deal. Now he’s the projected starter at LG and is getting all the 1st team reps there

  439. guest123 Says:

    DMAC affects the gameplan so much. I have no doubt that Hue was throwing his BS injury report updates just to make the other team work harder to gameplan him. If you know it’s Goodson in the backfield, you can expect the defense to pin their ears back and hammer CP3. I don’t mean to hate on Goodson or Jones, but it’s a huge dropoff.

    Since our defense is a work in progress, we need to do all we can to maintain ball control and keep the D off the field and limit possessions. I can’t think of a better way to do that than run DMC through the line like sh!t thru a goose.

    If we keep the run/pass ratio at 55/45, as long as CP3 can keep his ypa around 8 to 9, all will be good. The defense won’t be worn out. We’re not ready to play Saints or Packers style “madden” football. Yet.

    That’s not the point/ argument. I’m sure there are more teams with FBs than without, and I’m not trying to argue about that. It’s a fact.

    I think it’s just as productive & important, depending on the coaches you’ve got, the scheme you run & the players on the roster.

    I agree with you that maybe the position has evolved, as the game has changed over the years. Still, complete FB’s bring home the bacon. Reece thought that since he was a Pro Bowl alternate, he was entitled to some mega deal. Reggie wants a FB that can block, since blocking is required in Knapp’s offense – like it is in Kubiaks. Reece has value as a utility player and thats why he was tendered. Not because Reggie thinks he’s a Top 5 FB in the league

  463. Raider O Says:

    I think the traditional blocking FB is not as important in today’s game as it used to be in the past.

  464. hwnrdr Says:

    Well, regarding the FB position…for many years many says that defense wins championships. I say it has to be balanced. Look at SF last year…I hate to say it but if they had a qb better than Smith, they probably could have went 19-0! Last defense team to really win it based on defense alone was the Ravens, i believe!

  465. DMAC Says:

    Reece should be playing TE and should be utilized to create mismatches.

  466. hwnrdr Says:

    So I beleieve in a run first offense, a FB is very important, but a solid true FB that can block!

  467. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Not sure why there is even a debate going on.

    Look where FB’s used to get drafted, and look where they are now (most undrafted).

    Clearly, the value of FB’s to teams has diminshed, as they don’t use very valuable draft resources on them.

    Do you need one? Yes, of course. Can you make do with some dude like Schmitt of the street? Yup.

    Good point and he is a throw back type of player.

    The problem for FB’s is that in today’s NFL they have changed the rules to create more scoring and more passing oriented offenses so the days of running the ball 45 times a game are long gone and is replaced by guys throwing teh ball 45-50 times a game instead.

    As we saw last year there were what 4 or 5 QB’s with over 4,000 yards passing….hardly any room for an old school throw back FB anymore.

    When Raiders get a new venue it sure will costs as well….sucky reality for most of us that sports now just aint what it was…they dont want the passionate hardcore blue collar folks there…want rich white wine sipping clowns who dont know schit about sports

    I’m not sold on Tonga either, but he was a better blocker than Reece [what FB isn't?] I mean, didn’t Luke Lawton push Reece to the practice squad last time in Knapp’s offense?

    I don’t know if i’m ready to write off Tonga before he gets a shot in the new offense. Right now a knee injury is keeping him (and Mitchell) off the field at OTA’s.

    Hopefully they’ll both be available for training camp in 6 weeks. competition is always a good thing.

    Can I interject my thoughts on the NBA finals fellas. IMO after watching game two OKC should win this series in six. Everything that could have went wrong for OKC went wrong and everything that could go right for MIA did. The big three for MIA scored and rebounded and battier hit timely three’s they just played together well. OKC had its two best players in foul trouble early looked out of sync most of the game and still nearly pulled this out their a$$. MIA can play no better than they did and even that was barely enough and I don’t see them playing lights out like that three more times. And LJ still had a garbage fourth qtr IMO.

    I don’t now about that picture of Allen. That’s not a good mad face. He looks all butt hurt. And the players behind him laughing? Come on. When the coach looks mad everyone should be shaking in their boots. I think we’re a GM’s team now. We’re going to win with great, aggressive players and smart coaching. I wouldn’t expect Gruden like authority out of Allen.

  766. Sullivan44 Says:

    of course we were a GM’s team with Al, too. Except now we’ll have a, let’s just say, different style of GM. I’m trying to be nice.

  767. Hoo Slung Poo Says:

    I read the article by Schein. He says Carson is done and Raiders will go 8-8.

    Here was his great prediction for the 2011 playoff participating Bengals:

    “I feel terrible for Cincy defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. Grotesque mismanagement has cost him players. It’s going to be a long year in Cincinnati, again. The Bengals are the worst team in football.”

    Schein isn’t the worst analyst in football, but take heart…he sure as hell is not always right

  772. Raidernationdave Says:

    Whut up Raider Hood!

  773. Raider O Says:

    Who cares about Vegas Odds and Predictions?! This team was 8-8 the last 2 seasons with average coaching. We improved our coaching staff (IMO), and we have the same level of talent, so I can’t understand why some people think we will regress.

  774. DJ Johnny Says:

    Schein also predicted Bucs in playoffs and Niners going 6-10. Chargers going 13-3, Giants missing the playoffs as well.

    But he was a genius in predicting the Patriots would win an improbable division title and also the Saints and Packers winning their divisions. I mean, who would have seen that coming?

    Right on O. We were bad for 7 yrs. and then average for two. Within ONE defensive stop from winning the division, probably beating an injured Pittsburgh team at home and returning to New England for a prime time playoff matchup; all that w/o our best player (DMAC) in the lineup, and our QB who started the season.

    A “new’ defensive philosophy in 2012 that can’t possibly be any worse than the 2011 version, our best player back in action, and a better QB than what we started with last season, and yet we’re gonna regress in 2012? Maybe we will, but I don’t see how they can assume that based on what I just mentioned.

    Also, why assume Palmer will be worse? He threw for 417 yds. the final game which was preceded by a game where he saved us in OT against KC on the road.

  778. Raider O Says:

    Well said DJ.
    Campbell, DMAC, Moore, Ford, and Boss were injured last season.
    We led the league in penalties, had one of the worst defenses in the league, and we were 8-8.

    if we win we go on, if its a draw we need Holland to win.

    In March they changed the rules so if we lost 0-1 to germany, we would need holland to win but with only 1-0 works.. then we would go on, but now they changed the rules so now only the two other scenarios works for us : (

  791. DJ Johnny Says:

    The Raiders have either led the league, or top 5 almost every year for decades….despite different coaches, enitrely new rosters, etc. etc. etc.

    That borders on being a statistical impossibility w/o there being some sort of…well you know.

    I don’t buy that it’s becuz we’ve “just always been a dumb, undisciplined team”.

    To me, that’s easy to say and just like everything else in life, blame it on Al Davis.

    If we “blame it on Al” then i’m more inclined to say it’s because the league has always had it in for him, as opposed to Al creating and promulgating an atmosphere of undiscipline for all those yrs.

    I’ve heard alot of guys just brush it off as “we’ve just always been a dumb team”.

    Any sound thinking, rational person has to find the constant, year after year penalty “issue” at the very least curious.

  792. Albert Bigelow Paine Says:

    DJ, I do blame it on Al. He never cared about discipline. That worked out fine when he had Hall of Fame players. I do wonder, though, if the Raiders would have won more Super Bowls in the 70s and 80s if the organization wasn’t so loose on discipline. Stabler played half of his games with a hang over. The mystique is part of what makes the Raiders so great. But, at some point you have to grow up. After 50 years, the team is finally turning into a professional organization.

  793. Bob Marley Says:

    Looking at Defensive formation snpas from last year to compare our Defense with Denver’s, turns out we used a lot more Dime than Denver did:

    % of snaps:

    Out of Base 4-3-4 Defense:

    Denver 38%–Oakland 37%.

    Out of a Nickel 3-3-5 Defense:

    Denver 44%–Oakland 18%.

    (In this formation the 3rd LB lined up as a pass-rushing End, Von Miller-Kam Wimbley).

    Out of a Dime 2-3-6 Defense:

    Denver 3%–Oakland 30%.

    (Again, Wimbley listed as a LB but up at the LOS.)

    Those were the most used personnel groupings, but there was also:

    A 4-2-5 Defense:

    Denver 5%–Oakland 4%

    And a 4-1-6 Defense:

    Denver 0%–Oakland 4%

    I don’t know what to make of it, but it’s interesting that Denver rarely used 6 DB’s while we used them 30% of snaps.

    Obviously your formations are usually in response to what the Offense is showing, can’t go base when facing 4 WR’s.

    Maybe Denver was in more close games where opponents didn’t have to air it out and stayed with more conservative offensive schemes or maybe opponents felt the need to use more protection schemes to slow down Miller and Dummerville outside, probably the latter.

    Also, we lost a pretty good 2 way DE early on, if Shaughnessy stays healthy we may not use so many 2 DL formations.

    The thing that bugs me out of those numbers is that we played 6 DB’s on 34% of downs and with CJ37, Chekwa and DVD injured, it meant late in the year our Dime D was Routt and Lito at CB with Huff-Branch or both in the slot and a combination of Boyd-Giordano-Mitchell at Safety, not exactly a shut-down unit.

    I would think that, as the year went on, opponents figured out that they could keep our best unit, the DL, from making an impact by forcing us to play Dime Defense so we would have to bring in more DB’s and take out a couple of DL, so they had a field day throwing vs that group without having to worry about presure since we were using a ton of 2 DL schemes (1 out of 3 plays).

    I mean, wouldn’t you rather see Boyd and Giordano out there than Kelly, Seymour, Bryant, Houston?.

    We used either 4 or 3 DL on 63% of our plays while Denver used them on 87%.

    I don’t know exactly where I’m going with this but I would think Dennis Allen wants to see our DL out there a lot more than last year.

  794. Bob Marley Says:

    Correction:

    * I don’t know what to make of it, but it’s interesting that Denver rarely used 6 DB’s while we used them 30% of snaps.

    It was 34%.

  795. Bob Marley Says:

    Hopefully our Dime Defense next year features 4 true CB’s in Bartell, Spencer, DVD and Chekwa joined by Huff and Branch, put Wheeler in as the lone LB for his coverage skills and let our front 4 attack.

    Then you have to worry about draws and screens with a single LB out there but you can always put Branch near the LOS.

  796. Bob Marley Says:

    Maybe I should just let Allen and Tarver figure it out…lol.

  797. Marks hair Says:

    Using 6 dbs when our dbs stank, is exactly why I never wanted bres… The man was just dumb.

  798. Bob Marley Says:

    To put things in perspective, we were tied with Dallas for 3rd place in the NFL when it came to using the Dime package, only Buffalo and Houston spent more time with 6 DB’s on the field.

    As far as lining up in our Base Defense, we ranked 27th with just 37% of snaps.

  799. Marks hair Says:

    Time for a real defense

  800. MistaBrown Says:

    How could that have been the case when CJ, Chekwa, and DVD were all injured?

  801. Bob Marley Says:

    Mista.

    Earlier in the year, CJ, DVD and Chekwa all saw playing time but over the last 9 or 8 games it was mostly Routt, Lito, Branch, Huff, Giordano, Boyd and Mitchell out there with Branch and Huff sometimes lining up in the slot while we started using some kind of zone coverage that allowed stuff like Calvin Johnson covered by McClain and Boyd.

  802. Raider O Says:

    6 DBs: Routt, Shepard, DVD/Chekwa/ CJ, and 3 Ss (Huff, Branch, Mitchell/Gio/ Boyd)

  803. Raider O Says:

    Sheppard*

  804. DJ Johnny Says:

    Anybody see Reggie working any big deals between now and training camp?

  805. Bob Marley Says:

    As Vittorio Taffur put it:

    “Defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan started using a lot more blitzes and zone coverages after Davis, a strict man-to-man guy, died. The blitzes worked well early in wins over Houston and Cleveland, but the zone coverages fell apart late in the season.

    The image of 255-pound middle linebacker Rolando McClain covering Lions All-Pro receiver Calvin Johnson 40 yards downfield late in the fourth quarter might be on the cover of the Raiders 2012 yearbook.

    But … with Davis’ 2 a.m. phone calls reminding Bresnahan to stick with man-to-man (and Davis signing more cornerbacks and not letting Jackson go with four tight ends on the active roster), I have the Raiders beating the Lions in Week 15.”

  806. DJ Johnny Says:

    I remember CJ 37 saying “I apologize to the Raider Nation for what happened today” (in reference to the Buffalo debacle). He went on to say “I’m gonna fix this schytt”. I recall being encouraged by that statement that at least he cared.

    I don’t think he’s hooked up with anybody since he was let go.

  807. Raider O Says:

    DJ,

    Signing FAs, giving Branch a LT deal, or Trades?

  808. DJ Johnny Says:

    O,

    I was referring to FA’s and/or trades.

  809. Raider O Says:

    We could have been 10-6 with an avg defense (adding the Bills and Lions games).

  810. DJ Johnny Says:

    O,

    Exactly!

    I just want a defense that when we have the opposing team deep in their own end that we can make a stop when it really counts.

    That would be a huge step up.

    I remember the game against KC at Arrowhead. We had em down 13-6 late in the 4th. I didn’t think..I KNEW…KC would drive the field and tie it up. Even though we had em stopped all game.

  811. Bob Marley Says:

    Enter Dennis Allen and Jason Tarver…Reggie knows a stop or three and this team makes the playoffs.

  812. DJ Johnny Says:

    I know stopping a team when they are desperate to tie or win the game late…that’s it’s not the easiest thing to do.

    Even Flacco was able to drive the Ravens down the field against Dick LeBeaus’ vaunted D at Pittsburgh for the game winner with a few secs left in the game last yr. so I get that making that big stop is not “easy” but come on…the way the Raider D responded when the chips were down was nothing short of embarrassing.

    Each player on our D should have gone in the lockerroom after the Detroit, Buffalo and SD games and burned themselves with cigarettes.

  813. Raider O Says:

    I don’t see BIG deals for 2 reasons:
    1- we have cap issues, so I don’t think we can compete for big name players after they get released.
    2- The only player we can trade (IMO) is TK, we are not going to trade our young studs, and big deals needs players or draft picks. Remember that Reggie doesn’t like trading draft picks.

  814. DJ Johnny Says:

    O,

    I was thinking if Reggie worked the long term deal for Branch that it would make room to do something big if Reggie wanted to.

    Admittedly, I don’t know who’s out there anymore that would qualify as “big”.

    I just totally messed up on the radio. I forgot to to put a stop on the computer and while I was talking the dang commercials started running. You’re not supposed to do that.

    Dangit. I know the program dir. is listening too. Crap.

  817. Raider O Says:

    DJ,

    Sure we can give Branch a LT contract, extend Lechler’s contract, but my understanding from his interview is that he wants to take the hit this year, so he can fix the issue LT. Giving players LT contracts, extend/ restructure contracts can help the cap situation ST, but it will not fix the cap situation LT.

  818. DJ Johnny Says:

    Yeah it looks like that.

    I see why the media isn’t predicting we do anything this yr.-they don’t know what to expect from a HC they don’t know much about. They don’t know what to expect from Palmer or the defense or much else.

    I’m hoping they discover that the S and B is back with a vengeance.

    As I said…i’m drinking the kool aid until further notice.

    No. I don’t blame the refs for that. No one can deny that Al’s stubborn adherence to outdated defensive philosophies definitely played a part in that.

    I DO think that the refs watch us close…becuz we have consistently shown a propensity for boneheaded penalties and Raiders only have themselves to blame? Maybe..it just seems like a statistical anomaly to consistently, over many yrs. be at the top of the penalty count.

    Enter Dennis Allen and Jason Tarver…Reggie knows a stop or three and this team makes the playoffs.
    ===============================================

    Actually they don’t but that’s not their fault. I have been saying over and over and over if you guys expect defenses in the modern NFL to make late game stops you are going to be continually disappointed. Regardless of what Bri thinks, The days of Carson-Reasons-Taylor are gone. Even Super Bowl defenses just give it up late in games. Look at what happened in the New England/NYG, the Pitt/Zona. Unless there are major rule changes, defenses are not going to be able to stop offenses on a regular basis. Look at the regular season matchup last year between the Whiners and the NYG. Yes, the Whiner defense did make the stop in the end, but the Giants drove 70 yards down the field against that vaunted Whiner defense in five minutes and the game ended at the Whiner 10 yard line.
    What is now winning is points. Who are the teams in it year in and year out? Brady, Brees, Rodgers, guys who can put up points. So, I know what you guys are thinking: OK Seymour, we have all these new defensive gurus teaching our guys. What are these eggheads telling ‘em, to lay down at the end of games? No. What is winning now in the NFL is the big play defense. Think of the two field blocks by Rich Seymour in Kansas Shi**y, or James Harrison picking the ball off in the endzone in Super Bowl XLIII. You MUST have a big play defense to win in this league now. The top teams last year in INT’s were GB, NE and the Whiners. GB had almost twice as many picks as we did last year, and we weren’t that bad. THAT’S what the coaches mean when they are saying they want to put players in position to make plays.

    =======================================

    If you are talking about my post, please don’t think I said “defense doesn’t matter.” I still believe that defense wins championships and you need a strong defense to win in this league. My point is late in games, with liberalized rules and spread offenses, defenses routinely do not stop good offenses. In fact good offenses convert 3rd downs half the time. Give them four downs and it is very difficult to rely on your defense to make a stop. And not just us other D’s as well.

  871. raidertalk Says:

    Nice couple of posts.
    Is it just me or does Cork seem like he is stepping it up of late?

    This offense could be explosive; hopefully Reece can channel his inner Zack Crockett on short yardage situations though.

    To me the Defense is a total question mark, until I at least see preseason/first game. But the coaching seems to be sound.

    The Sovereign Cult

    The strange subculture of the sovereign citizens movement, whose adherents hold truly bizarre, complex antigovernment beliefs, has been growing at a fast pace since the late 2000s. Sovereigns believe that they — not judges, juries, law enforcement or elected officials — get to decide which laws to obey and which to ignore, and they don’t think they should have to pay taxes. Sovereigns are clogging up the courts with indecipherable filings and when cornered, many of them lash out in rage, frustration and, in the most extreme cases, acts of deadly violence, usually directed against government officials. In May 2010, for example, a father-son team of sovereigns murdered two police officers with an assault rifle when they were pulled over on the interstate while traveling through West Memphis, Ark.

    The movement is rooted in racism and anti-Semitism, though most sovereigns, many of whom are African American, are unaware of their beliefs’ origins. In the early 1980s, the sovereign citizens movement mostly attracted white supremacists and anti-Semites, mainly because sovereign theories originated in groups that saw Jews as working behind the scenes to manipulate financial institutions and control the government. Most early sovereigns, and some of those who are still on the scene, believed that being white was a prerequisite to becoming a sovereign citizen. They argued that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed citizenship to African Americans and everyone else born on U.S. soil, also made black Americans permanently subject to federal and state governments, unlike themselves.p

  878. GG Says:

    Words of wisdom from Pacman Jones. Hopefully, Rolando is listening…

    Jones is blunt when you ask him about his past.

    “I was pathetic,” Jones said. “I had no respect for the money I got. I had respect for football. [But] I acted like I was still hanging out in college. I didn’t realize the scrutiny that came with it.”

    Jones says a “big part” of his “message” at the rookie symposium will involve informing young players to stay away from problematic characters from their past, regardless of how long they’ve known them.

    “When it gets down to the get-down, none of those guys will be there,” Jones said. “When you hit that dark wall, the only person you can probably call is your mom. You have to get through it. It’s easy to say, but when you go through it, it really hits you.”

    -Immaculate Reception (deception).
    -Sea Of Hands
    -Heidi
    -Holy Roller
    -Tuck Rule
    -Ghost to the Post

    Each of those games will be indelibly marked in football history.

    Raiders have played many games that are epic and it’s interesting how many they’ve been involved with that have changed the entire course of franchises forever.

    -Immaculate Reception (deception) is credited for being the game that started the Pitt. “dynasty”

    -Sea of Hands ended the Miami “dynasty”.

  942. Pryor the great Says:

    Mike bush over Reggie? No way

  943. TxRaider210 Says:

    I think other teams have to be concerned that Reggie and DA seem to be building a real bully and are here to stay.

  944. TxRaider210 Says:

    I just say Michael because he’s a bruising back, but I’d take Reggie’s versatility as an alternate.

  979. Plunketthead Says:

    Some semipro wannabee blooger named Scary wrote this wrote this

    .Quarterback Carson Palmer and general manager Reggie McKenzie think the Raiders are ahead of schedule as they closed a three-day mandatory minicamp Thursday.

    Coach Dennis Allen believes his team is right about where he expected it to be.

    Exactly what the Raiders have is difficult to discern, given the restrictions on offseason contact and the fact that they have instituted new systems on offense and defense.

    They will have a better idea when the team reports to training camp the Napa Marriott on July 29 and has its first practice the following day.

    At that time, Palmer, McKenzie and Allen — the three key figures as the Raiders transition into the post-Al Davis era — will determine how much was retained from several weeks of minicamps and organized team activities.

    “It’s always an ongoing process, but I think for the most part we’ve installed really who we are and what we are,” Allen said.

    Palmer has taken to a system that calls for more rollouts, half-rolls and naked bootlegs after mainly being a dropback passer.

    Concerns that he might not be mobile enough to execute the system have been largely alleviated, and the new style has been a welcome challenge.

    “It’s a completely new offense, there’s really no similarities to anything I’ve done before, but I love all the boots and play-actions and nakeds and keepers,” Palmer said. “I’m excited to do that, and really all those things are going to help the running

    game, and the more the running game moves the chains, the better everyone else is on the entire team.”

    The grasp the Raiders have of their new systems leaves Palmer encouraged.

    “I can’t wait for camp,” he said. “We got a lot of good work in, and you never know what to expect as you’re coming out of the last minicamp after OTAs. I can’t speak for everybody, but I’m definitely pleasantly surprised with where we are.”

    Allen thinks the quarterback has something to prove after throwing 13 touchdown passes and 16 interceptions in 10 games last season.

    “He wants to prove he still belongs in this league and can play at an elite level,” Allen said. “As with everything else it’s all about your mindset, and his mind is in the right place right now.”

    McKenzie and Allen were pleased the Raiders had no serious injuries during offseason activities. Players who have sat out recently — wide receiver Denarius Moore (hamstring), linebacker Aaron Curry (knees) and center Stefen Wisniewski among others — are expected to be ready for camp.

    Wide receivers Juron Criner and Rod Streater, a fifth-round pick and an undrafted free agent, respectively, have a chance for significant playing time with further development.

    Defensive end Dave Tollefson, a free agent from the New York Giants, said Allen has stressed the importance of reducing penalties and winning the turnover battle, using slides as visual aids to enhance the message.

    “To give it lip service doesn’t do it justice,” Tollefson said. “The number of penalties this team had was unreal. To go 8-8 on top of that, it’s kind of impressive.”

    Palmer is the latest Raider to express wonderment at the complexity of the team’s defense.

    “Our defense has everything — every possible coverage, every alignment,” he said. “(It’s difficult) just getting to know our offense and how to execute against every look in the book, every look you could possibly see from every defense across the entire NFL. Our defense does a lot.”

    McKenzie echoed Allen’s sentiment that middle linebacker Rolando McClain won’t be punished for sins of the past, although the legal system or the NFL could have something to say about it.

    McClain is awaiting appeal on misdemeanor convictions including illegal discharging of a firearm that could mean jail time.

    “Since we’ve been here he’s been great,” McKenzie said. “I’m not going to hold anything over his head about what he’s done in the past. We’re only concerned with what he does from here on out. … We’ll take care of the issues as they come.”

    Pro Football Hall of Famer Fred Biletnikoff spoke today at the sentencing for the man who murdered his daughter 13 years ago, calling convicted killer Mohammed Haroon Ali an “animal.”

    “There will never be any closure for me,” Biletnikoff said in court, according to the San Mateo County Times. “My hatred for Ali will never go away.”

    A judge sentenced Ali, who at the time of the killing was already on probation for kidnapping and beating a previous girlfriend, to 55 years to life in prison.

    This was the second time Ali was sentenced for the February 15, 1999 killing of Tracey Biletnikoff. Ali’s previous conviction was overturned on appeal on the grounds that the prosecutor dismissed a black member of the jury pool for racial reasons.

    Ali admitted that he strangled Tracey Biletnikoff, whom he began dating after they met in a drug treatment center.

    “I don’t know why I did this and maybe I will never know,” Ali said. “I would trade my life to bring Tracey back.”

    After his daughter’s death, Fred Biletnikoff started the Tracey Biletnikoff Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting young women recovering from substance abuse and providing education for the prevention of domestic violence.

    The Sovereign Cult

    The strange subculture of the sovereign citizens movement, whose adherents hold truly bizarre, complex antigovernment beliefs, has been growing at a fast pace since the late 2000s. Sovereigns believe that they — not judges, juries, law enforcement or elected officials — get to decide which laws to obey and which to ignore, and they don’t think they should have to pay taxes. Sovereigns are clogging up the courts with indecipherable filings and when cornered, many of them lash out in rage, frustration and, in the most extreme cases, acts of deadly violence, usually directed against government officials. In May 2010, for example, a father-son team of sovereigns murdered two police officers with an assault rifle when they were pulled over on the interstate while traveling through West Memphis, Ark.

    The movement is rooted in racism and anti-Semitism, though most sovereigns, many of whom are African American, are unaware of their beliefs’ origins. In the early 1980s, the sovereign citizens movement mostly attracted white supremacists and anti-Semites, mainly because sovereign theories originated in groups that saw Jews as working behind the scenes to manipulate financial institutions and control the government. Most early sovereigns, and some of those who are still on the scene, believed that being white was a prerequisite to becoming a sovereign citizen. They argued that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed citizenship to African Americans and everyone else born on U.S. soil, also made black Americans permanently subject to federal and state governments, unlike themselves.p

    No, I’m not happy. :sad: I do not like to see people unhappy. Life is not to be unhappy. We feel the pain but need to find the happiness where we can. Because life is painful, but only when we can rise above it will we be happy. But real happiness will come when we here the sound of the trumpet blowing, then we will know all the wrongs that have happened will be reconciled. The old account will be settled and there will be no sorrow. Yes it will be a glorious day. So don’t carry the load of misery that has stained what we call living today, but wait in great happiness for the day of reckoning.

    ***

    thanks, G123!

    my “dads day” was terrific. I’ll spare you the intimate details, but I also got a new lawnmower out of the deal

    we took my son down to the river on Saturday. had a big fireworks show yesterday. came home to see the last 7 minutes of the Miami/OKC game

    Heard the Heat had like 8 turnovers in the 4th qtr alone, LOL. I saw Jones airball that 3-pointer and then Seflolsha rip DWade and promptly score on him. Surprised we still won, but happy

  1028. guest123 Says:

    Agree that is a huge committment. There must be some folks down in the high tech sector around Palo Alto/Menlo Park/Mtn View or work there anyway that have a lot of disposable income. That kind of price tag is staggering though. Even if I got someone to share a set of season tix with. Football is pricing itself out of the common man who supported come hell or high water. It’ll be full of corporate suits who don’t even understand the game.

  1029. guest123 Says:

    Tampa Bucs had to lower some of their seats for the next season. Most folks I know who have season tix share them and do a 5 game split. Nobody wants to go to the afternoon games in September in Tampa. You can just about give those tix away. Hotter than hell, and you feel your head about to explode. Miserable experience.

    nice! great present. I used to have a nice riding craftsman lawnmower, but that was back when I had a nice 1/2 acre lot. Now I just pay some old guy $70 a month and I’m done with it. It’s not that much to maintain, but space is a premium and I don’t have extra space to house lawn equipment.

  1032. RaiderRockstar Says:

    one thing I noticed during the last 2 Heat games … he has a supporting cast!

    they showed up for games 2 & 3

    Wade driving to the hoop with a layup in Perkins face, with a 3 point play with 5 minutes to play

    Bosh with 2 blocks and 3 key rebounds in the final minutes, also 2 clutch FT’s

    LOL @ Harden & Westbrook though. they couldn’t buy a bucket

    RW was left WIDE OPEN and bricked a 3pt. Harden was trying to play James tough while he was running down the clock and got a blocking foul, sending LBJ to the line to increase the lead

    thats what we’ve got, G123.

    but I didn’t have a pushmower to mow the ditches. been having to use the weedwacker or try to walk the big rider thru’em. wife knew we needed one and that I wanted one. I’m not convinced it’s a good one [Briggs & Stratton] but it was a gift. who am I to complain? We have a little bit of land, not much. it’s about 1.2 acres

    my father-n-law has a TON of property down by the river and said he’ll give us 5 acres if we ever want to build a house down there. strongly considering it, but it’s even more far removed from just about everything and there would be no way for me to get to work since they don’t clear the roads of snow & ice. I’d have to get on the tractor buttcrack of morning and push that stuff in the cold for an hour before getting ready 4 work and then driving the car 40 minutes to work, LOL.

    -Turnover Westbrook
    -Missed jump shot Westbrook
    -Charging foul Westbrook

    well, I have a Chevy Silverado with 4 wheel drive. but it depends on just HOW BAD the weather is. Also, since our babysitter moved to the city where I work, i’m now responsible for dropping my son off there and picking him up.

    this couple had triplets and the wife went to jail for smothering two of them. now the dad has 1 baby to raise by himself while trying to work full-time. wife locked up, after murdering 2 of his other children. he’s a heavy equipment operator. a good ole boy that has no idea how to raise a baby.

    thats what I’m thinking. Miami plays best when thier backs are against the wall. [which it isn't anymore] Wade struggled in Game 3 versus New York, Indy & Boston. Seems like that monkey is off his back, after last night. James not having to do it all bodes well for the Heat. Bosh & Wade are stepping up, as of late. Love the comments from James at the postgame interview preaching teamwork & defense. He’s not acting like a self-entitled diva. He’s working hard every game, knowing OKC is not gonna roll over and just let them have this. gotta EARN it. He’s got that look about it. The eye of the tiger!

    I called the Durant’s in 7 too *but if they don’t win game 4 they’re done. 80% of the teams that lose game 3 lose the series so the Kevin’s have their back to the wall.

    *Kell notice the use of the conjunction. it comes in the middle of a sentence and ties in thoughts, points, etc. and is never used to start a sentence.

    Dave…throw out all stats or patterns in this series….this isnt a regular series at all…..OKC can lose gm 4 and still win game 5 and 6…forcing 7….but no team in this finals is good enough to win 3 straight vs each other….too evenly matched

    ——————-

    its the Heat series to lose. They got to run the table…..LeBron’s legacy is at stake.

    you really gonna count on OKC to miss 9 FTs again? I doubt Miami shoots FTs at the clip they did last night as well

    @ROG

    I don’t think the Heat played very well at all last nite, and they still got the win. Everybody was saying last week that the Heat aren’t very good at home. Well, apparently OKC isn’t that great away either. I hope Scott Brooks keeps giving Westbrook the green light to take shots whenever he wants to.

    Durant & Harden will play better in GM4 than last night for sure, but I expect James, Chalmers, Miller & Cole to get better than 1 out of 9 three pointers … plus Bosh will be a factor offensively (3 for 12 yesterday)

    Heat win on Tuesday would be the dagger for OKC!

    nail in the coffin

  1102. Raidernationdave Says:

    Heat actually are the old dogs versus a team like OKC

    I think they prevail. teach’em a lesson. the wins aren’t gonna be pretty. might be 1 or 2 points. might come down to rebounds or a defensive stop. the Heat role players are like the 2000 Ravens offense. They don’t have to be great, they just have to be “good enough”

    Two Raiders in Charity Golf Tourney

    Written by Alameda Sun

    Oakland Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski and punter Shane Lechler along with team executives will host a charity golf tounament at Callippe Preserve Golf Course in Pleasanton Sept. 16th to benefit the Oakland Raiders’ Courage House, Fred Finch Youth Center.

    Founded in 1891, the Fred Finch Youth Center provides programs for emotionally challenged youth and their families. Support from the Oakland Raiders and the event helps the center continue offering education, therapy and a safe haven for more than 1,200 children and teens in need.

    Advance tickets are required. For more information call David Hartmire at …

    http://alamedasun.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3690&Itemid=12

    ***

    since Shane Lechler is now unemployed & pennyless [per Raider O's request] he will no longer be able to host the charity golf tounament for emotionally challenged youth and their families. All education & therapy for the 1200+ children will be cancelled immediately. Thank you.

    Who is Frantz Joseph?

    On the surface, you can consider Frantz Joseph a priority undrafted free agent linebacker, capable of playing all three linebacker positions, that the Oakland Raiders signed to a two-year deal.

    You would be correct in that assumption—but it doesn’t answer the question.

    You would also be correct if you saw this tackling machine as a hidden gem. You would imagine that with his body of work, the guy would be invited to the NFL Combine. But he was denied that privilege, and it just made him work harder.

    A guy projected to be the first player from Florida Atlantic University ever drafted (some experts had him as high as a third or fourth round pick, while others had him as a sixth round pick), Joseph was denied and went undrafted. It simply made him work harder.

    Joseph is a strong inside presence and a tremendous competitor with great range and instincts. He is an excellent fit for the Raiders, a team seeking to improve their run defense by adding a tackling machine.

    If he were drafted by an NFL club, it would’ve been great not only for Florida Atlantic University and their fans, but also for the Sun Belt Conference.

    Several times when it comes to the Raiders’ draft, the focus is on measurables as opposed to production on the field. Some people seem to view undrafted players as merely guys that are being brought in as simply training camp bodies.

    I would beg to differ.

    There is a long list of undrafted players that have had success in the NFL.

    That list would include names like Adewale Ogunleye, Brian Waters, Wes Welker, Priest Holmes, Bart Scott, Jim Leonhard, Jeff Saturday, Gary Brackett, Willie Parker, Stephen Neal, Rob Bironas, Tony Romo, Antonio Gates, Kris Dielman, Jason Peters, Joshua Cribbs, and 2008 Defensive Player of the Year James Harrison.

    Upon further review, when you look deeper into answering the question posed above, you find a solid football player who in 2008 was the second-ranked tackler in the nation, recording 154, with all the tools to make an impact at the NFL level.

    His journey to the NFL started as a kid in south Florida. Frantz Joseph played for David Martin on the Fort Lauderdale High School football team, where he earned 4A All-County honors as a senior linebacker. He led the Flying L’s in tackles in 2002 and 2003.

    Joseph also amassed 73 tackles in five games during the 2002 season. He followed that up with 96 tackles in seven games. He also found the time to force seven fumbles and acquire two interceptions as Ft. Lauderdale’s captain in 2003. He earned the team MVP honors and also won the All-American student athlete award.

    He attended Boston College in 2004 but did not play at all during his freshman year. He transferred in 2005 to FAU to be closer to his mother, who was having health issues, but he practiced with the team.

    Two years removed from the game, Joseph came back with a vengeance. He was moved into the starting lineup and made an immediate impact. After 11 games, he finished the year with 61 tackles, which was third on the team. Joseph’s most productive game that year came against Lafayette, when he recorded a team-high 14 tackles.

    He became known for his hard hits and sure tackling. He earned the team’s “Bone” award, an honor earned following each victory for the hardest hit. The season-ending honor is named the Ramon Rickards Memorial Bone Award for the squad’s inaugural defensive end, who was killed in a motorcycle accident in June 2006.

    In 2007, Joseph was one of just two Sun Belt Conference players listed on the Butkus Watch List. He has played hurt on more than one occasion, as he did against OSU. He put up double-digit tackles against Minnesota, a team-high 14 tackles, and in a victory over North Texas with 12.

    He posted double-digit tackle totals in seven games, and his lowest tackle total was seven. Plus, while playing Division I football, he completed a double major in business and management as well as working odd jobs to help support his mother.

    Frantz Joseph had a solid game in Florida Atlantic University’s win in the Motor City Bowl, posting 13 tackles. He followed that effort with a great game in the Texas vs. The Nation game, where he was named the MVP after making plays all over the field.

    He is a stand-up guy that understands the importance of preparation and will do whatever it takes to win. More importantly, he is a hard-working guy, possessing great leadership skills and a hard-working attitude, who plays the game the way it is supposed to be played.

    He also has the desire to bring the missing ingredients of physicality and intimidation back to the silver and black defense. They’ve been missing from this team for too long.

    Everything I’ve seen and read about Frantz Joseph tells me that this is a guy deserving of a shot and is a guy that you can’t sleep on.

    Following up with Oakland Raiders Frantz Joseph

    by Patrick Patterson (06/16/2009)

    Since Franz Joseph was signed by the Oakland Raiders out of Florida Atlantic University following the draft, he has become somewhat of a folk hero among the Raider faithful.

    With his compelling personal story, having left the more athletically prestigious Boston College for the lesser known Florida-Atlantic University so he could be closer to his mom, along with being an intriguing undrafted free agent has given him that ‘underdog’ status that fans tend to get behind.

    I interviewed Joseph soon after he was signed by the Raiders, and he kept talking about hard work and doing whatever it takes to win.

    He has been bringing it so far in camp. He has been playing mostly in third team and special teams drills, but he has been all over the field. He closed the second OTA session with an interception off the hands of Lorenzo Neal.

    I caught up with Frantz at the end of last Wednesday’s OTA session.

    Q: How’s practice going for you so far?

    Its going pretty good. Studying my playbook every night, and just getting the plays down. I am just waiting for the opportunity to put the pads on.

    Q: You closed last week’s practice with an interception, how was that?

    It was great, just breaking to the ball. I got a little lucky there, he tipped that ball and you gotta catch it.

    Q: How do you feel you are progressing so far?

    I think I am doing very well. I am a student of the game. Every night I am in the playbook. I am familiar with the defensive scheme, so its really not that tough for me. For me, I am just waiting to put the pads on. As a linebacker, unless you are in pads and drop some stuff, you can’t tell the run fits how you are really doing, as far as point of attack.

    Q: How’s the special teams work coming?

    Its going great. Coming in learning and going hard every day on every special teams. All four of the special teams, that’s very fun too.

    I will be checking back with Frantz during training camp, once he gets the pads on and see how his progression is coming. He is a guy that the Raider Nation can’t help but to root for.

    I like Shane, and I want him to stay, but not with a $5.75 million cap hit when we have other issues like stopping the run or pass. We also allowed around 600 yards in punt returns (led the league)
    I rather use that money on a speedy pass rusher, CB, or NT to help us stop the pass and the run, which we were not able to do last year.

    I think the edge rusher issue is overrated as a concern. Nowadays, a QB is getting the ball off in less than 2 or 3 seconds. Not enough time for DE’s to make an impact in a lot of cases. The league is moving to quick stunts and penetration of DT’s like Kelly and Seymour. As for lack of run stuffers, all you need is the LB correctly chase his gaps in a more disciplined scheme. Not saying we don’t have weaknesses, but they can be masked.

    @Kentucky

    Ivey is certainly not a pass rusher. He reminds me of Remi Ayodele (Saints). I think he’s got a slim chance to crack a roster spot. Reggie drafted that kid Christo Bilukidi (sp?) in the 6th round to play DT behind Seymour, Kelly & Bryant. I’d also consider Crawford the favorite for 4th DE behind ShoNasty, Houston & Tollefson.

    Many of those guys you described above will have changed roles as Al Davis & his defense are no longer in the plans. This will automatically make Jason Tarver look like an upgrade to former DC’s Ryan, Marshall & Bresnahan …

    When I think of Rich Gannon the B-Raven championship game and the SB loss to the BuckanEars game come immediately to mind. The best part of Gannon was his leadership, that I would put up against anybody’s. He kept guys focused and he ran James Jett out of town.

    I think the edge rusher issue is overrated as a concern. Nowadays, a QB is getting the ball off in less than 2 or 3 seconds. Not enough time for DE’s to make an impact in a lot of cases. The league is moving to quick stunts and penetration of DT’s like Kelly and Seymour. As for lack of run stuffers, all you need is the LB correctly chase his gaps in a more disciplined scheme. Not saying we don’t have weaknesses, but they can be masked.

    What about JPP, J Allen, J Babin, A Smith & V Miller (rookies last year)?!

    James Jett caught that TD against the Pats in the Snow game.

    Who could turn James Jett into a cold-weather, red zone target??

    Rich Gannon, that’s who!!!

    The Pats didn’t even cover Jett they put their 11 on 10 and played the odds and lost.

    Obviously, I’d love to have an elite speed rush DE, but they don’t grow on trees. We have to give the Reggime a few years to collect all the pieces. And JFB is right, we need to be prepared to score 40 pts early in the season. It’ll be a learning curve for sure.

    Actually, I take that back. I once lived in a small town of 30000 people and had no big city within 25 miles. They did have a WalMart. Ended up taking the wife and kid to the WalMart as our weekly Sunday family outing. You know you live in Podunk when Walmart is a destination!

    Hey I was good with your mussles and calamari, sounds like a damn good start to some quality cioppino.

    I honestly don’t like a lot of Italian “starters” like gnocchi and Italian soups.

    Pasta fagioli is all right, as long as it has some sausage in it. Lots of places just serve it with the beans.

    Sandusky44 is trolling as usual he thinks he has a better understanding of where you live then you the person who actually lives there does. This could be illusions of grandeur maybe he wants to live through you or RR not sure.

    KK pops in once and while to defend himself usually after someone has written something funny about him pooping his adult diapers.

    Rai8er Mike and Big Banana are just being sarcastic while discussing Italian food.

    That about sums it up Dakota!

We’ve crippled some of the country’s most notorious hate groups by suing them for murders and other violent acts committed by their members.

    Currently, there are 1,002 known hate groups operating across the country, including neo-Nazis, Klansmen, white nationalists, neo-Confederates, racist skinheads, black separatists, border vigilantes and others.

    Rockstar’s response to the southern poverty law center:

    “prove it”

    “you saw that on tv!!!”

  1463. KoolKell Says:

    Since 2000, the number of hate groups has increased by 69 percent. This surge has been fueled by anger and fear over the nation’s ailing economy, an influx of non-white immigrants, and the diminishing white majority, as symbolized by the election of the nation’s first African-American president.

    These factors also are feeding a powerful resurgence of the antigovernment “Patriot” movement, which in the 1990s led to a string of domestic terrorist plots, including the Oklahoma City bombing. The number of Patriot groups, including armed militias, grew by 755 percent in the first three years of the 0bama administration – from 149 at the end of 2008 to 1,274 in 2011.

    This growth in extremism has been aided by mainstream media figures and politicians who have used their platforms to legitimize false propaganda about immigrants and other minorities and spread the kind of paranoid conspiracy theories on which militia groups thrive.

  1471. Sullivan44 Says:

    The Southern Poverty Law Center identified 1274 anti-government “Patriot” groups that were active in 2011. Of these groups, 334 were militias, marked with an asterisk, and the remainder includes “common-law” courts, publishers, ministries and citizens’ groups.

    Generally, Patriot groups define themselves as opposed to the “New World Order,” engage in groundless conspiracy theorizing, or advocate or adhere to extreme antigovernment doctrines. Listing here does not imply that the groups themselves advocate or engage in violence or other criminal activities, or are racist.

    The list was compiled from field reports, Patriot publications, the Internet, law enforcement sources and news reports. Groups are identified by the city, county or region where they are located.

    Patriot groups,

    I’m calling you out!!!

    lol

  1473. KoolKell Says:

    The number of Patriot groups, including armed militias, grew by 755 percent in the first three years of the 0bama administration – from 149 at the end of 2008 to 1,274 in 2011.

  1474. Sullivan44 Says:

    In case anyone really believes California is liberal…

    “The number of Patriot groups, including armed militias, grew by 755 percent in the first three years of the 0bama administration – from 149 at the end of 2008 to 1,274 in 2011.”

    They have a constitutional right to exists just like the Jehovah Witnesses have a right to exist and protect pedophiles!

  1476. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Chico has an extremist group???

    All credibility right out the door!!!!

    Guess they won’t report all the Earthie Hippies that vandalized hundreds of brand new SUV’s in the lots in Chico many years ago, causing millions of dollars in damage.

    But hey, 3 dudes went to the Drudge Report website from their dorms……………TERRORISTS!!!!

  1477. Sullivan44 Says:

    666,

    STFU, moron.

  1478. Just Fire Baby Says:

    What’s an “armed militia”? Are there unarmed militia’s?

    Does Rockstar and his weapons count as a militia?

  1479. Sullivan44 Says:

    And btw, an organization doesn’t have the right to exist if they threaten an entire race of people. They become criminal at that point.

  1480. Sullivan44 Says:

    Wow, that’s a good question, JFB. Keeping them honest.

  1481. Sullivan44 Says:

    I mean, really. What is an armed militia? SPLC is stumped now.

    “666,

    Come on tough guy I thought you were coming to San Jose to beat my fat ass up? What happened did my fatness scare you?

    Yes it is true the Jehovah’s witnesses protect pedophiles its a known fact which is probably why you are a member of that organization.

  1484. Sullivan44 Says:

    Yeah, those hippies damaging the SUVs is right up there with the Holocaust! Good example, JFB.

  1487. Silverandblack666 Says:

    At what point did you get scared and are now ignoring me?

    What scared you little man?

  1488. Sullivan44 Says:

    It’s my right as an American to drive an SUV and get 5 miles to the gallon, then blame Obbama for the fact that I can’t afford gas!

    “This is funny. Sullivan is making 666 look like a fool.”

    Why are you on his nuts so much?

    I am not the fool here he said he was going to go to my front door and kick my ass. I gladly accepted now he is backing down.

    How does that in any way make me look like a fool?

    Every time he calls me something I agree with it as to mock him one day he for some reason thought I was Asian so I went along with it and soon he was telling everyone in here that I was Asian. Today same thing he says I am fat.

  1522. Sullivan44 Says:

    Dakota, why are you talking tough? Do you think anyone is afraid of you?

  1523. Sullivan44 Says:

    I’m afraid of Dakota because he goes to Los Angeles a lot.

    Really ABP are you that brain dead that you believe everything that is written here. Are you that pathetic of a person that you need affirmation from a known troll like Sandusky44?

    Are you that much of a simpleton that you cannot think for yourself.

    Why are you even in this conversation unless like B@uce says you are MR’s other screen name!

    Morning Raider fans. :D We got a nice blue day of sunshine from the mountain top that stretches all the down into the valley. A mild cool breeze with the highs expected to be in the low 80’s. Birds are singing and the bees are starting out on their day of flight to gather honey. And off in the distance two dogs are goin at it like there is no tomorrow. We’ll be seeing little puppies round here before to long, we will. Nothing beats a great cup of coffee as you watch the sun rise, go gather the newspaper, and then take a seat for the morning constitution. The smell of sweet spring dew lets me know training camp is just six weeks away. Hot damn.

    Rockstar….sorry I couldn’t reply to your post yesterday – this blog wouldn’t let me post a comment and it’s really pi$$ing me off.

    So…..I’m going to take a break till training camp.I’ll keep an eye on the site for any news but don’t expect any posts.

    Until then – enjoy the summer everyone.

  1702. guest123 Says:

    6 weeks is a long time and 1700+ posts is insane. In my boredom, I decided to pore over the roster to get a better feel for the OL.

    Starters: Jared Veldheer, Cooper Carlisle, Stefon Wizniewski, Mike Brisiel, Khalif Barnes

    Backups with versatility: Joseph Barksdale, Tony Bergstrom, Alex Parsons

    Fighting for one open reserve spot: Nick Howell, Kevin Haslem, Zach Hurd, Colin Miller, Lucas Nix, Ed Wang

    Let the training camp battles begin, but this is where I see the offensive line shaking out to start the season. I’m kind of down on Barks, really not sure that he’s a fit in the ZBS. Bergstrom is a mid round rookie who is going to need time to be NFL ready, and that shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Parsons has been working well with the ones, and could step in at C right now. But I expect Wiz II to be ready by the start of the season and ready to dominate. The Center position looks good for now & Samson Satele will not be missed. Cooper Carlisle and Brisiel have great experience at the ZBS and will their own against any challengers, as long as they stay healthy. Khalif Barnes is the guy no Raider fan feels good about, but he’s got the tools athletically to be a decent RT, which is a requirement for success in the ZBS. But his only hindrance has been undisciplined play that generates maddening penalties, and always it seems, at the worst possible times. If the coaching staff can get his head screwed on right, he has a fair chance to keep that job. Yet, you get the feeling the coaching staff would love to have Barksdale or Bergstrom steal Barnes job from him, but it all seems like wishful thinking. Barnes and Cooper are likely playing their last year in the league anyway, but the learning curve to get where they are is steep. We need some of the younger guys to light a fire under them, but I don’t see it happening in the near future. All in all, I think it’s going to be a better than average unit, and really the only question mark is at RT.

  1710. guest123 Says:

    From Paul Guttierez’s latest entry…

    I love the comments he throws in there. Notice Gutty throwing a lot of love on King Darrius!

    ************

    OFFENSE
    QB — Carson Palmer (excited to show skills in new-look offense)

    RB — Darren McFadden (looking forward to taking one –ONE! — snap with Palmer)

    FB — Marcel Reece (will cause defensive coordinators sleepless nights with pass-catching skills)

    WR — Darrius Heyward-Bey (looking more and more like a legit No. 1 wideout)

    WR — Denarius Moore (tweaked minicamp hamstring should be a thing of the past come Napa, right?)

    Slot — Jacoby Ford (is it an X, Y, Z thing, or should he worry UDFA Rod Streater received more reps?)

    TE — Brandon Myers (Palmer said it appears Myers is the man at TE, so, he’s got that going for him)

    LT — Jared Veldheer (quietly prepping for a Pro Bowl-caliber year…again)

    LG — Cooper Carlisle (rookie Tony Bergstrom will give him all he’s got, making Carlisle that much better)

    C — Stefen Wisniewski (Alex Parsons has filled in admirably for Li’l Wiz and his surgically-repaired shoulder)

    RG — Mike Brisiel (as solid as they come in the nuances of the zone-blocking scheme)

    RT — Khalif Barnes (steadily holding off the challenge of Joe Barksdale, who is also getting reps at LT)

    DEFENSE

    DE — Lamaar Houston (clock is ticking as he enters tell-tale third season)

    DT — Tommy Kelly (best quote on team looking for bigger, better things to talk about)

    DT — Richard Seymour (noticeably thinned down, perhaps to see time at DE in a 3-4?)

    DE — Matt Shaughnessy (the best run-stopping DE in the NFL, so says Seymour)

    WLB — Aaron Curry (shadowed all minicamp by rookie Miles Burris. Hmmm.)

    MLB — Rolando McClain (has the lightbulb finally gone on above his head?)

    SLB –Philip Wheeler (undersized at SAM, but makes up for it with football smarts)

    CB — Shawntae Spencer (vet showed quickness and awareness in minicamp)

    CB — Ronald Bartell (big corner whose physicality is a must with today’s big receivers)

    FS — Michael Huff (said he’s looking forward to playing in a “real defense” this season)

    SS — Tyvon Branch (prerogative now is locking the franchise-tagged SS into a long-term deal)

  1713. Just Fire Baby Says:

    DE — Lamaar Houston (clock is ticking as he enters tell-tale third season)

    ************

    I agree the clock is ticking on him being a top-tier DE.

    He is much more Bobby Hamilton than I wanted.

  1714. hwnrdr Says:

    I have a feeling that OKC should even it up tonight, but the way LeBron has been playing Durant getting him in fould trouble…and the way the Heat came back from 10 down…I don’t know!

  1715. guest123 Says:

    I remember Houston had that nasty demeanor coming in as a rookie, picking fights with bigger guys. But he’s a little light in the shorts and doesn’t have Shaughnessy’s motor on the other side. Someone light a fire under him already.

    I think this year will be all about Houston and Shonasty imo, if all is well health wise.

  1717. Just Fire Baby Says:

    He has no pass rush skills for a DE.

    He should be sliding inside more, IMO.

  1718. guest123 Says:

    WLB — Aaron Curry (shadowed all minicamp by rookie Miles Burris. Hmmm.)

    **********

    This sounds encouraging. Curry is a limited player with average at best upside. The bar is set reasonably low for a high motor, plucky guy like Burris to take his job from him. It could happen.

  1719. guest123 Says:

    TxRaider210, I hope you are right. It would be nice to have nice bookend DE’s who contain the edge and/or collapse the pocket.

    Can’t have a “real” defense with him as your OLB.

    I really don’t think Curry is that bad. I’m definetley willing to give him a fair chance in the new system.

  1723. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Aaron Curry in a macro type of way was what is/was wrong with our defense and some of our fan base.

    He would have a big hit, and he would go banana’s and the crowd would go crazy and this board would as well.

    Than he doesn’t contain the edge, allows the RB to run for 25 yards, and he and everyone else wants to talk about this big hit, when really a solid tackle would have been just as productive.

    No style points in football. Just make the plays you are supposed to.

    Curry, through 5 years in the NFL, has shown ZERO ABILITY to do so consistantly.

  1724. guest123 Says:

    I agree about Curry. When he gives his “A” game, he’s average quality. Anything less than that, and he’s a target that opposing OC’s target to pick on. I hope he’s a surprise cut in TC.

  1725. TxRaider210 Says:

    I’ll give Curry and his sore knees a chance, if he stinks, bring in Burris!!

  1726. guest123 Says:

    That all speaks volumes about Curry’s motor. He can’t bring the intesity play to play. He’s gotta bounce up off the turf and bring it inside the next 60 seconds, and bring the fire. But he’s got no fire. Maybe just doesn’t have the talent either.

    If I were to put money down on a sure thing this season, I think it would be penalties going down. The defense may be just as bad, but no way are they going to continue losing their cool this season with accountability measures in place and the scholarships ended.

  1733. Raideraholic (AKAHairyBush) Says:

    Please keep in mind that reagardless of the negative qualities Curry has, There has to be a replacement that is equal to him with upside or just a player that is flat out better. I still think Curry can overcome most of his flaws under D.A.

    Preseason/training camp should be interesting.
    I have no doubt the youngsters will be given every opportunity to rise to the occasion. Will Curry step up his game?? I wouldn’t be shocked.

    @Hwnrdr

    Durantula has a tough task at hand, shut James down defensively and dominate him offensively. I don’t think thats going to happen. Outside of LBJ & DWade, the Heat were pretty terrible in Game 3 and still came away with a win. Bosh had those 2 blocks and a few key rebounds at the end, but offensively was pretty dismal. The way OKC played in the 2nd half on Sunday night, Miami should have beat them by 15. Didn’t the Heat have like 8 turnovers in the 4th qtr alone? all the Lakers fans in here seem to think that we’ve seen the best that the Miami Heat have to offer and it’s just a matter of time before the light comes on for OKC and they’ll win the series. I beg to differ. Battier should have had 10 more shots in GM3. I think he went 2 for 2 or something and has been a major factor these playoffs. Less shots for Chalmers, Jones & Haslem please [puke]

    I want to see the Heat play a complete game. I think it’s coming. LeBron is preaching teamwork & defense.

  1744. Bob Marley Says:

    Lamarr Houston is underrated, according to the stats from pff.com, he was top 5 vs the run and top 25 in hurries in the League, this from their 2011 All-AFC West team:

    “… we went with Houston ahead of Elvis Dumervil on the strength of the run defense from the Raider defender. Houston finished the season as our fifth-highest-graded run defender among 4-3 defensive ends while still grading positively as a pass rusher after picking up 27 pressures, putting him in the Top 25 in the league.”

    On the other hand, he notched just 1 sack out of all those pressures, down from 5 as a rookie.

    Houston and Bryant must see more time inside, keeping Kelly and Seymour fresh late in games is a key, Tollefson should see plenty of snaps at Left End allowing Houston to line up inside more often.

    I’m hoping we can pick up another DE later in camp, someone who can give us 10 maybe 12 snaps a game, we need more bodies since Shaughnessy is the only true DE on the team, Houston and Bryant can play there but they are hybrids best suited inside or moving around.

  1746. guest123 Says:

    My criticism of Houston is similar to Curry. Although Houston is a much better player. It’s the motor. Not that he takes plays off, but his effort seems on a bell curve. If had half the motor of Shaughnessy, he’d be a force. Brings no natural pressure off the edge, too light to bully tackles.

    According to people in Seattle, Curry’s one strenght was his ability to se the edge and handle the TE in the strong side, we saw some of that last year but he needs to be more consistent, if he can do it, he should be ok as a 2 down player, my hope is on DA, Tarver and Johnny Holland to make this guy a useful player.

    When DHB can start catching passes without that little stutter hitch in all his routes where he has to square up to the QB to take in the pass – then I’ll consider him a #1 wideout.

    When he can catch the ball over two defenders at the apex of ball flight grabbing only the tip of the football, then I’ll consider him the #1 wideout.

    When DHB can run a corner fade and adjust off the back shoulder using his body to snare the ball while double tapping inside the pylon, then I’ll consider him a #1 wideout.

    Most people don’t believe how serious this concussion issue is, but the NFL is going to be forced to remove the possibility of violent hits from the game. Kickoffs are going to be outlawed soon. The whole “he got jacked up” culture is going to be frowned on. They can only do so many psxxy measures and the game will become unwatchable. Deep down, we all love to see those big hits.

    In the old Roman Empire days, the gladiators never complained about the Ceasar’s making their post career life a problem, did they?

    No one is putting a gun to anyone’s head to play this violent sport. The danger comes with wealth, fame, and all the spoils that go with that lifestyle. It has a downside too. Why can’t these guys be accountable to themselves and walk away from the game if they can’t take the risk? Why get lawyers to speak for them when they had a voice to walk away before the damage was done? That’s too convenient now that they collected all that money and had their glory days.

    Jailbird athlete #1 in yearly earnings:

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. may be taking a sabbatical from raking in the dough while in jail, but he’ll have plenty of cash waiting for him when he gets out.

    Mayweather has passed Tiger Woods as the highest-paid athlete of the year, the first time since 2001 that Woods hasn’t had the Forbes.com distinction.

    Woods made $59.4 million this year, but that only puts him in third place, after Mayweather’s $85 million, gathered from wins over Victor Ortiz and Miguel Cotto this year.

    Boxing’s other big name, Manny Pacquiao, took the No. 2 spot on the list, with $62 million.

    LeBron James placed fourth, making $53 million, much of it from endorsements. Another 12 basketball players made the Top 100, compared to 30 football players, the most of any sport represented on the list. The leader of that group is Peyton Manning, with $42.4 million, 10th on the Top 100. Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez was tops among baseball players at No. 18 overall with $33 million while Patriots quarterback Tom Brady came in at No. 28 ($27.1 million).

    Woods’ $59.4 million is $16 million less than last year, and about half of what he made in 2009, before messy details of his personal life surfaced and gouged his endorsement base.

  1782. guest123 Says:

    Answer: Yes!!

    I don’t trust Myers to the position as CP3 seems to have annointed him the starter. All of his 16 catches from last year are the variety where he’s wide open in space, makes catch and quickly looks to fall down.

    Ausberry and Gordon and their 3 combined catches? I dunno. I got to see it in preseason. But I’d like to see a vet added for training camp, if for nothing else spur the competition. Someone should have to win the job rather than an appointment by default.

    Terrell Owens, Plaxico Burress & Braylon Edwards are available for peanuts. Heck, even Hines Ward who recently announced his retirement!

    Murphy, McGee & Moore all have hamstrings injuries before they even get to contact drills in training camp or preseason games. Heyward-Bey, Ford, Moore & Murphy were all “nicked” at different times during the regular season last year. I’m a bit concerned we’ll only have 2 healthy wideouts available for Week 1 and one of them will probably be that undrafted rookie Rod Streater

  1789. guest123 Says:

    Answer to vet WR: No!

    Moore, DHB, Ford, & Criner are going to be fighting for balls and CP3 is going to have them all chomping at the bit. We don’t need a washed up retread to come in and pout about not getting reps or targets. We need to look to the future and develop our guys. Also this kid Streater could be another gem that emerges out of nowhere. I’ve not felt this good about our WR crew in ages.

    Now that the Heatles have their big 3 starting,the matchups are pretty even.

    It’s still the battle of 3-8 on the rosters that have been determining the games. Harden, Fisher, Ibaka, etc are getting outplayed. I don’t see some light coming on for those guys. Maybe Harden.

    I’m not sure what to make of Brandon Myers. I would say he’s an average [not below. not above] receiver and blocker. has the most experience. contributes on ST. your typical role player. I don’t think he’ll have 52 catches like Jermaine Gresham did as a rookie for Palmer in Cincy (2010)

    However, I certainly think 28 catches [like Kevin Boss had last year] is attainable

    Knapp’s offense isn’t very creative. it’s rather bland & simple. no trickery. just line up & execute the gameplan. the defense knows whats coming half the time and is dared to stop it. no doubt Palmer can audible if he sees the defense commit to one certain play or player, but nobody is going to label Greg Knapp a mad scientist like Jason Tarver on Defense. For these reasons I can surely see guys like Schmitt & Myers stealing jobs from Reece & Ausberry due to blocking abaility alone. We’re a run-first offense. If converted WR’s Reece & Ausberry still block like WR’s you sure as heck ain’t gonna see them paving the way for McFadden. Thats a gamble Allen & Knapp aren’t willing to take. I can see Reece used as a short yardage back like Zack Crockett. He’s got the size of a Mike Bush, but runs harder and doesn’t have twinkle toes. Reece could line up at TE or go split formations with McFadden and come out of the backfield as a receiving target for Palmer against LB’s to exploit the mismatch. Not sure I see him as a lead blocker anymore. Ausberry is a nobody right now. Love the fact that he’s added weight & muscle in hopes to crack a roster spot, he’s trying to improve his game and worked out with Palmer over the offseason. Still, effort only gets you so far. A tight end that can’t block is useless in the ZBS. Ask Jhill & JFB what they thought of Zach Miller’s blocking in this offense!

    It takes a lot of time and dedication for TE’s to be NFL quality at throwing blocks. They don’t really teach it in college. If Ausberry can’t block, he won’t see the field period.

    we don’t have a COMPLETE tight end. somebody who can do it all. Reggie & Dennis both acknowledge that progress is being made though, so I guess we’ll see if somebody emerges in training camp & preseason. Probably a better gauge on whether a guy can block or not when the hitting starts anyways!!

    Details about NFL lawsuit that will bring the NFL to its knees:

    2000+ Claimants and 81 separate suits are being combined in the mother of all lawsuits. The class action has been filed both parties will commence the long arduous task of preparing for a still yet to be determined court date. This means that both defendant and plaintiff parties will have the pleasure of going through the discovery and deposition process.

    This process is typically very costly and will likely take years to complete. Throughout the discovery/deposition process the involved parties retain the right to either move forward with the suit or settle the claim out of court. The NFL will seek to bring this matter a close sooner than later to prevent tarnishing of the NFL brand. Therefore the class will be resolved without going to court, probably within a 2-3 year window.

    The class action claim will likely be resolved via a multi tiered settlement.

    There will be a structured cash settlement which will provide staggered payments to the listed plaintiffs over a fixed time period.

    A conservative estimate for the settlement figure is $500,000,000 paid over 20 years. This is the equivalent of $250,000 paid to each class member.

    The NFL will agree to conduct informational classes for both current and future players regarding the dangers of concussions and head trauma. These classes will be offered as a PR move by the NFL.

    The NFL will “self implement” rule changes to further protect players. These rule changes may include alterations to game standard equipment such as helmets and face masks. This too will be a PR move by the NFL.

    The NFL might agree to providing long term medical care for members of the class however this may be omitted in lieu of a larger cash settlement total.

    The NFL will pay the plaintiffs’ attorney’s fees.
    The lead counsel for the class will sign on behalf of the plaintiffs to release the NFL of any additional or future liability regarding concussion or head trauma related injuries.

  1851. RaiderRockstar Says:

    MIAMI – Thunder forward Serge Ibaka has a bone to pick with all of those NBA coaches that helped LeBron James pile up the most votes on the All-Defensive team balloting.

    Not only does Ibaka think little of James as a defender, he hasn’t seen anything from the Heat star in The Finals to change his mind … not even that fourth quarter work James produced in Game 3 defending Thunder star Kevin Durant.

    In a hard-fought series that has been short on extra curricular drama, Ibaka’s words, per Tom D”Angelo of The Palm Beach Post, would qualify as the closest thing anyone has seen to real trash talk:

    “LeBron is not a good defender,” Ibaka said about the player who received the most votes for the league’s all-defensive team, which is selected by the coaches.

    “He can play defense for two to three minutes but not 48 minutes.”

    James was switched onto Durant after Game 1 when Durant scored 36 points and shot 12-of-20 with Shane Battier primarily covering him. Since, Durant is averaging 28.5 points on 23-of-41 shooting and Heat have won two games, taking a 2-1 series lead into Tuesday’s Game 4.

    “LeBron can’t play (Durant) one-on-one,” Ibaka said. “They’re playing good defense like a team.”

    This is probably not the kind of chatter Thunder coach Scott Brooks needs his team worrying with on game day, but he has no choice now.

    ***

    LOL @ Serge Ibaka !!

    perhaps he wants LBJ to go off like Game 6 in Boston?

    Game 3:

    WHAT THE THUNDER DID WRONG: Played woeful interior defense and screen-roll defense.

    Failed to attack Miami’s defense from the side, a tactic that was hugely successful in Game 2.

    Once again, Durant showed a tendency to make bad passes while on the move — five turnovers, zero assists.

    Serge Ibaka was too eager to block shots (he had only two), which led to his fouling Shane Battier on an attempted trey. In the third quarter, Ibaka blatantly ignored a wide-open Fisher, choosing to launch (and miss) an 18-footer.

    Nobody put a body in front of LeBron on too many of Miami’s fastbreak and early-offense opportunities.

    In general, OKC’s transition defense was lackadaisical.

    Missed nine of 24 free throws (.625), a losing number right there.

    Instead of talking…how about you come and ball in this series Serge?

  1864. RaiderRockstar Says:

    WHAT THE HEAT NEED TO DO:

    Anticipate that OKC will play some sort of sagging defense that will require the Heat to knock down their jumpers. Since Battier has proved to be their only reliable perimeter shooter, their anti-zone offense should be designed to get him good looks.

    LBJ did a more than satisfactory job denying Durant the ball but, when KD does receive a pass, James has to either force him to a help spot or get help as soon as Durant puts the ball on the floor.

    Take better care of the ball late in the game. This means avoid having Wade (five turnovers) carry the ball into the attack zone against Sefalosha’s ball-hawking defense.

    Get Bosh more touches in the low-post.

    Despite their own shortcomings, Miami took full advantage of every OKC misstep, and did what they had to do in the endgame. These characteristics are the marks of a championship team.

    On the other hand, all the post-Game 1 buzz about the Thunder coming of age has proven to be premature. In Games 1 and 2, OKC demonstrated a remarkable lack of poise out of the box, and in Game 3 they showed the same in the clutch. These characteristics are the marks of a team that are not quite ready to take the last giant step. However, pressure can either break a team or force them to grow up in a hurry.
