Might be some old Panther affiliates in Oak Park and Del Paso Heights, Brien. You should come down here and meet them.

Brien, admit it. It wen’t over your head. I know you. You would have called it from the get go had you got it. You never let a hip hop reference get by. You’re just young and not up on that too short game like me.

Jcat….you were using that as a diss on me…hence using Brien first…moron
June 25th, 2012 at 12:24 pm
I don’t know, Brien. That’s why I said there might be. Cornell West is from Del Paso Heights. He was on t.v. once talking about some of the racial issues in Sacramento in the 50s and 60s. It was a few years back. Wish I could find the transcripts.

Do people still go to his chats?
June 25th, 2012 at 12:34 pm
It will be interesting to see how some of the youths develop in the next few years.
That was one thing I think really hurt the Raiders was the disconnect between Al and the constantly changing coaching staff. Al was picking these youngsters, many with good upside but I am not so sure the revolving door coaches always got them coached up properly. The coaches knew they had to win now, and that doesn’t lend itself to developing young raw talent.
I think the REG and new staff have a longer more sustainable leash and plan to create a team that can win for a while not just the win before I die plan of recent years…
June 25th, 2012 at 12:34 pm
I go to the chats but he will only answer your question if its one that has been asked and answered 100 times so strange how that works but yeah I will be there.

Scratching my head…..yeah we’re pretty much screwed at RT.

@G123
Barnes had 11 penalties for 70 yards last year. 6 false starts, 3 holding calls, 3.5 sacks allowed
http://www.profootballweekly.com/players/khalif-barnes-148729/
Super Bowl Giants OT Will Beatty had 3 holding calls and 3.5 sacks allowed in only 10 games last year. if Barnes can quit with the false starts he’ll be fine at RT imo

Cork sees the questions and answers spit fire fast in the chats. But he will see a question repeated 3 or 4 times and skip it if he doesn’t like it. It could be a very fair question, but there are places Cork won’t go. Still, he’s pretty candid with the response he does decide to answer.

Tyvon Branch only has 3 forced fumbles, 3 INT’s & 15 passes defensed in 4 years with Oakland …
Michael Griffin (Titans) who also received the franchise tag this offseason and was just rewarded with a 5-year $35 million contract ** that Branch wants to match ** had 6 forced fumbles, 14 INT’s & 37 passes defensed in 4 years with Tennessee

Thus giving credence to what we have been saying in here all off season that he is not as good as Griffin and should not be paid similarly.
June 25th, 2012 at 12:54 pm
sorry, those stats were only from Griffin’s past 4 years with the Titans. he’s actually a 5-year vet
stats @ same date span though (2008-2011) for both players
June 25th, 2012 at 12:56 pm

he makes a lot of tackles

There are alot of irrelivent questions on these chats…
“How’s the defense looking?”….Well, they ain’t got pads on yet so, uh, we don’t know.
“Lets cut Lechler for cap space.”…..F-ing Retard.
“Why did Hue Jackson say blah, blah, blah?”….Shut up about Jackson already.
SMH…..I show up anyway, and he answers my questions once in awhile.

You mean the exact defense that Tom Coughlin installed in NY where they just won a SUPER BOWL!!!
Its not the X’s and the O’s its the willies and the Joe’s.
A poor craftsman always blames his tools!

“7/31/2011: Signed a four-year, $32 million contract. The deal contains $16 million guaranteed”
Can we afford to pay both safeties a combined $16 million?
Huff has clearly outplayed Branch in the same defense!

Tom Coughlin installed a simliar D concept to Al’s.
He didnt install THAT exact defense.
He also has the D-Lineman to get pressure so his weak secondary doesnt stand out.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:09 pm
I seriously doubt there is a scheme out there that allows #55 to jog slowly behind runners or allows for his sloppy tackling or his inability to shed blocks. Let me know if you find one.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:09 pm
@DAV
Lamarr Houston is under contract for the next 2 years.
2014 free agent. his body of work is half the size of Branch’s. [2 years verses 4 years] pick somebody else

Don’t forget, he had an injury, I think it was a pulled v@gina, for his first two seasons!

So you admit that was the case and you admit that they won a Super Bowl with that defense. Sure he has a great front 4 but that’s part of the scheme.
Just admit it, guys whiffing and playing at half speed will not be fixed by a magical scheme.

If not exact pretty damn close or a slight variation.
Cant argue with a Super Bowl win.
One last time for the reading impaired…..its not the X’s and O’s its the players. If it was you could take a team of scrubs and non drafted free agents and beat everyone with your magic scheme.

You can’t compare the stats of players in two different schemes, without comparing the schemes, which I doubt anybody here is capable of.

“Don’t forget, he had an injury, I think it was a pulled v@gina, for his first two seasons!”
Wiz played injured and his play did not drop off nor did he use his injury as an excuse.
Just saying!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:15 pm
So this masterful Al Davis scheme doesnt need the right coach to call the right plays, all it needs is the right players.
Got it.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:17 pm
“No thats not what I said, please re-read before you put words onto my keyboard.”
The NY Giants use the same scheme as we do with a slight variation. They won the Super Bowl. There is no denying those facts.
One last time! A new scheme is not going to fix players not giving full effort or help them shed blocks or help them be better tacklers.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:17 pm
666,
For some reason Huff doesn’t believe the Raiders have been using Tom Coughlin’s defense. Maybe you can explain it to him. Surely you’ve played in the NFL.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
I have to go with the new regime, and their analysis.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
DennisAllensVisor,
Forget it, man. I mean, what does Huff know? He’s only played in the NFL. Been on that field on sundays, crossed the white line, and has been in NFL huddles and team meetings. What would he know? Surely he needs a fanboy like 666 to explain NFL f’n defenses to him.

@silver
Wiz II was a rookie. We have no idea what he would be capable of if healthy last season, but what we got from him as a rookie last year playing all 16 games with a torn labrum was nothing short of amazing, considering the circumstances. I think we would have beat out Satele for the Center job, but then who would have played LG? Heyer?
June 25th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
Lombardi ran the sweep 25-30 times a game everyone knew it was coming the challenge was stopping it.
No fancy scheme just pure execution.
How you can argue that or the fact that the NY Giants won the Super Bowl is beyond me.
Scheme is not going to help guy shed blocks or tackle better. I am not sure why everyone thinks there is some magical scheme out there that is going to solve these basic issues. Working hard in camp on fundamentals is the only way to solve it.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:22 pm
666, a f’n player who played in the defense for the past 6 years f’n said it’s the worst f’n defense in football!!!! We’re going to believe you over him?
June 25th, 2012 at 1:22 pm
“guys whiffing and playing at half speed will not be fixed by a magical scheme.”
-No it will be corrected by a general manager who will get rid of players doing that. It will be corrected by a GM who enables his coach to sit/play ANYONE who needs a lesson in accountability.
THAT will fix it! A few new wrinkles won’t hurt either…

“Maybe the scheme won’t bro, but I doubt RM or DA will allow any slackin off in general..”
Being held accountable will be the underlying reason we have success next year. This is a product of RM and DA and the structure they are implementing now.
Yes I agree with you.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:24 pm
What did Sapp say?
Coach would have a defense in? Al would say nope, tear it up, make them play his defense.
Deny that 666 you f’n fanboy.

Kool Kell, do you still have the link to that old SI article?
June 25th, 2012 at 1:26 pm
Huff is a player who has struggled and not lived up to his expectations of a 1st round draft pick.
Instead of shouldering the blame he chose to put it on Al Davis and his outdated 2012 Super Bowl winning scheme.
Huff needs to be quiet and get to work and show us he is worth the money AL paid him to bad mouth him after he passed on.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
@82: true dat. It’a been a whole lot classier to just talk up the new coach/scheme, no need to bring up what everyone knew to be true…
June 25th, 2012 at 1:28 pm
666 f ### you!! Huff has played the game. You haven’t. End of story. If he hadn’t said this, you’d be telling us that none of the players have criticized Al’s defense. Well, hell, one did. Now what? And he isn’t the first. Schweigert, Sapp… Go ahead, smear them now too. Politics as usual. Al was using a 50 year old defense in Oakland and the whole league knew it.

In fact didn’t that almost cost him his job.

holy cow! he’s gonna go to the Pro Bowl this year! Huff too!
both players made more plays than Branch. is there now hope for Mike Mitchell, too?
June 25th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
Ray Lewis pitched a btch when his nose tackle was having contract troubles. Ngola keeps him free, and protected to make plays. Nobody keeps Guards off McClain, scheme wise.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
And this is just the beginning. Al hasn’t been dead a year yet. Everyone plays nice immediately after the death but now that Al’s not here to sue every single critic he can for slander, I have feeling that the gloves are coming off some of those people he’s done wrong in the pass, via tell all books.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:30 pm
Ha, I f’n knew it! You’re going after Sapp’s credibility now, too.
3, moron. 3.

And that’s not even counting everything Gannon has said about this place.

@DAV
so Giordano was “put in situations to fail” ??
holy cow! he’s gonna go to the Pro Bowl this year! Huff too!
both players made more plays than Branch. is there now hope for Mike Mitchell, too?
—-
Yes they all were. And they all failed.
Giordano caught 5 errant passes. Cool. He accounted for more TDs given up with angles, missed tackles, gettting flat out run by, running into a blocker instead of around. etc.
Your point is very weak. With all due respect.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
And, btw, the fact that it’s now beyond any sane person’s reasonable doubt that Al tainted the defense, that pretty much vindicates every offensive coach here too. What can you expect them to do when you have a defense using a half century old scheme? Hue. Cable Kiffin. Shell. Norv. Gruden. All of them. VINDICATED!!!

@Kell
you’re right, but Ngata isn’t a NT. Kelly Gregg was in Baltimore prior to joining KC last offseason.
Ngata = 3-4 DE
not sure who filled the NT role last year, Terrence Cody ?
this offseason they added vets Ma’ake Kemoeatu & Ryan McBean in free agency and acquired Nick Jean-Baptiste [undrafted]
it is clearly a position they are trying to fix. same thing in Pittsburgh. both physical defenses

Ok Sandusky44 calm down your blood pressure is rising again.
So 3 people have spoken out about AL’s defense those are pretty good numbers seeing how he must have had 1,000 players play in his defense over the years and to find that there are 3 who are unhappy with it certainly proves your point!
Lets look at who those 3 are:
Sapp: Loud mouth no credibility did nothing here but collect a check and you take his word as biblical.
Schweigert: yeah there is a future Hall of famer! How many of us could not wait to ship that guy out of town.
Huff: Still has not lived up to his draft status so he blames a dead guy…CLASSY all the way!
The other 997 players who played in that defense are all quiet so you are at .03% WOW lets all get on that band wagon!
LMAO tool!
June 25th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
LMAO…..I figured Rich would win that one, but I didn’t get to watch it.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:36 pm
You can pull the disgruntled card when one guy comes out and bashes the system. Maybe two. But 3 is starting to get beyond reasonable doubt. Then add Gannon’s input, which says Al was f’n everything up from one end of the building to the next.

666,
There was never a vote. You’re tallying expressed opinions, which is not a scientific way of determining public opinion.
How about an election with all former Raiders employees and players, as to whether or not a)Al meddled in defense, and b) it cost a lot of games.
Private ballots! Everything anonymous. Each player/ former employee shows up, checks their name off, gives a folded secret ballot, ballots are counted by a third party.
The results go 90/10 that Al just ruined their defenses, and you know it.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:46 pm
122. The craftsman is AL. The tools are his players. Not the other way around..
June 25th, 2012 at 1:46 pm
666, you’re not even worth it fanboy!!
Give me one reason why I should believe you over 3 players that have played in the league? Dips#it.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:46 pm
“119. Right. Money & draft status makes you learn, fit in and play well.. Why even have coaches?”
You know its so funny how much credence people put into a scheme but you still have to execute!
Sure our defensive scheme was out of date we all know that but it can work as the Giants showed us with the proper PLAYERS!
The thing that Huff and everyone else should be talking about is ACCOUNTABILITY this is what has changed since Al is gone that is going to have the biggest impact on how we play not scheme.

You are really missing the point here maybe it’s a communication thing but seriously come one man your telling us that players and coaches and scheme have to all be on the same page to win.
Isn’t that like saying grass is green and the sky is blue and Sandusky44 is has mental illness. These are things we all know they are very elementary so not sure why you are trying to argue with me over such a simple topic.
I am sure we can all agree that those three things must work together in order to have a winning team so one more time please try again to explain how a new scheme changes things in so called evaluation of players coaches scheme.

Cant argue with a Super Bowl win.
One last time for the reading impaired…..its not the X’s and O’s its the players. If it was you could take a team of scrubs and non drafted free agents and beat everyone with your magic scheme.
==================================================
Eh, it’s all of the above. Players, scheme, coaching, culture, attitude. But you need to fit the scheme to your talent, not the other way around, which is what Al kept doing, quite futilely over the past decade. So ask yourself, why are Allen and McKenzie overhauling the schemes? Because they want to put the players in the best position to succeed, not stack the odds against them.

Nice post and I will say it again for the 10th time today….. ACCOUNTABILITY is what RM and DA are installing that will be the single biggest reason we will improvement over last year. Yes I am talking about Al Davis the man I worshiped my whole life downfall. he did not hold people accountable he did not allow his coaches to enforce their own agenda or set of rules. I blame Al for this.
June 25th, 2012 at 2:08 pm
“Yea, and players dont execute on their own. Theyre coached to that level”
Yes and now we are in agreement. You need players that will buy into a scheme and are wiling to be held accountable. Good coaches will implement that and let go of guys who are not willing to be held accountable.

I agree that our scheme was outdated and some guys (DeAngelo Hall) just cannot play in that kind of scheme.
But you have to be committed to it as an athlete you have to find a way to make it work for you because they are paying you a ton of money!
Look at Denver last year they ran a college offense and won with it. Talk about outdated scheme but the players bought into it and they own the division and even a playoff game with their outdated college running game scheme.

Al Davis was a man who loved football more than most and gave his all down to his last breath to the success of this franchise.
He is a Hall of Fame inductee and has won 3 Super Bowls as an owner.
He was by no means perfect and his last 20 years he struggled to bring us back to greatness and I am sure that it hurt him more than any of us.
Yes he was a meddling owner and yes he hung on too long but he cared deeply for this franchise and all he ever wanted was to return to greatness.
Whats wrong with that?

You can call it scheme all you want, but when I watch a guy run right past Branch or Huff for a TD, how can anyone blame anyone but them?
Defensive scheme will help the pass-rush and run defense, but covering a man is covering a man. Making a play on the ball is making a play on the ball.

Denver actually ran the option less than 20% of the plays last year.
That was a run-first, play-action offense, from the Shotgun formation. Not a whole lot different than the I formation, only it allowed for another blocker (the RB) on the Tebow carries.
I believe it will continue to be effective at times, until he isn’t as athletic.
People were like “just stack the box with 8″. Well when your QB is a designed runner, that allows 8 people to block (O-Line, TE, RB, FB) so you actually had to have 9 in the box to have the same effect, which left single-coverage on both WR’s.
If Tebow were half as effective throwing the ball as running it, I think he could be an NFL MVP in that type of offense.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:06 pm
Anyone think Reggie brings Smith in over Leinart? My gut tells me he won’t…

Ol’ Misty was a little too quick to claim victory sometimes.
I have the thread saved where he tells us that the upcoming Raiders-Steelers game and I think 49ers-Bucs game, was going to be the best QB’ing the Bay Area had seen in awhile.
Well Soup got benched at halftime with a 40 QB rating, and Troy Smith didn’t score a point, lol.

Solid post.
If Tebow had better accuracy/touch/mechanics he would be deadly, yes.

He is worse than Leinart.

A lot of that stuff you saw with Tebow, was just nonsense after the play, like Favre and Brady faking throwing passes after they handed it off, only Tebow faked running it (Vick does it a lot too).
But when you get down to it, it was just a designed run to the RB, no different than much everything else.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:13 pm
Leinart is here because he knows the offense and ran it in Texas.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:13 pm
I’d bet your paycheck, house, car, everything too! Troy Smith won’t be a Raider.
Ohio Sate Sucks!

I know as much about MMA as I do futbol, but when I read Jones’ interviews, he seems like he is on a much different level then the rest of the fighters mentally.

Yep, and with his size and reach it would suck to fight a Muay Thai guy that good.

I think Leinart is the ideal backup.
Has a decent level of ability. Knows the playbook.
Could buy you a few weeks in case of emergency.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:21 pm
Jon Jones is the anti BJ Penn.
All the talent WITH drive, hard work, physical attributes etc..
June 25th, 2012 at 3:22 pm
Another key to being a quality backup, is understanding just that, you are the backup.
I think Troy Smith struggles with this, and part of the reason we had to tell The Bruce to leave as well.

I wasn’t comfortable at first with the Leinart move but it really does make sense. It’s only one year and the dude has gotten progressively better especially after taking the NFL a little more seriously.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
You’re right Dave. I like to have guys that still have room to improve, and haven’t played their best ball.imo
June 25th, 2012 at 3:34 pm
Leinart sucks, but he is ideal for this situation in that he can teach the offense to both the starter and the future backup, and is pretty comfy earning a paycheck and not having to work on the weekends.
If Palmer gets hurt, we are screwed either way.

As long as Matt can turn around and hand it to a healthy DMC, and convert a 3rd & 5ish on occasion we should be able to survive a few.

Chances of him keeping the peace for a month are slim to none.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Which QB has the most to prove this year? Palmer, Romo, Peyton, Rivers, Ryan, Schaub..etc
June 25th, 2012 at 3:50 pm
I say Matty Ice, only because he has been pushed into an upper echelon that he can’t hold onto if he is going to be the Alex Rodriquez of QB’s.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:52 pm
Peyton doesn’t need to prove anything. He can get hurt in camp, call it quits and ride off into the sunset as a first-ballot HOFer.
Rivers and Romo maybe, only because they are also considered tier 2 guys, but I think they have earned it, even without winning a bowl.
Matt Schaub….that ship sailed. They didn’t seem all that more worse with a 6th round rookie at the helm.
June 25th, 2012 at 3:57 pm
Yeah I’d agree with that, but think Peyton has to show he’s worth the money at least to satisfy the fans. I work with lots of Cowboys fans and their about through with Romo.lol
June 25th, 2012 at 3:58 pm
they’re*
June 25th, 2012 at 3:58 pm
I don’t think Palmer has to “prove” anything, mostly because most casual fans and media-ites have basically given up on him.
Anything close to Pro Bowl level play and a playoff berth will come out of leftfield to the majority of the country and be house money in a sense.
June 25th, 2012 at 4:01 pm
Very true most have counted Palmer out, except the people who know he can play. I also think Ryan is a victim of horrible play calling in the playoffs, almost every time.lol

Romo is a good QB, just not great. Until you can get a great QB, that’s what you got.
June 25th, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Yep, I’ve always told them he doesn’t have the team enough to win a SB, could be wrong, but I think his better days are behind him.

Ten pounds lighter, a year older and invigorated about a new coaching staff, Richard Seymour promises the 2012 Raiders are going to be more disciplined.
Raider Nation has heard that refrain before. Meanwhile, the team has led the NFL in penalties in each of the past two seasons and has regularly finished among the most flagged teams since its 2002 Super Bowl season.
“We’re definitely going to be disciplined, for sure,” the 32-year-old defensive tackle said Tuesday during the first day of a three-day minicamp. “We don’t want to lead the league in penalties or anything like that. But we definitely want to be aggressive.”
It’s de rigueur for players under new coaching staffs to talk boldly of new directions and new levels of achievement. And Seymour is sure talking a good game.
“I think our fans have a lot to be excited about,” he said. “We’re headed in the right direction. We’re trying to build a smart, tough, disciplined football team, and everyone’s preaching the same message. That’s come across very clear.”
Although Seymour’s 29 tackles in 2011 were the second fewest of his 11-year pro career, he had six sacks – his third highest total – and was named to his seventh Pro Bowl.
That selection was to be expected of a player who, at $15 million per season, is the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL.
As Seymour is well aware, the Raiders’ defense hasn’t been a force in quite a while. Last year it was 29th in total defense, 31st against the pass and 27th against the run. The rushing defense has been atrocious for the past nine years, never better than 22nd.
Part of the problem in 2011 was the loss of defensive end Matt Shaughnessy to a shoulder injury against the Jets in Week 3.
“In terms of the run, I’d put Shaughnessy up there with anybody,” Seymour said. “He’s developing into a complete player. It was a big blow for us when he went down. It messed up our rotation a lot. With him back healthy this year, it’s going to be big for us.”
Going into his fourth year in Oakland, Seymour had skipped the voluntary organized team activities, so Tuesday was the first time new head coach Dennis Allen had seen him in action, and vice versa.
Having a head coach with a defensive background is “obviously a good thing,” Seymour said, but he added with a smile, “If you mess up, they know what you did wrong as well.”
In the offseason, Seymour lost a former Patriots teammate and a dear friend in Junior Seau. “He was one of the best men I knew,” he said. “I think everyone knows what he’s done on the field. But off the field, he was a giving guy, one of the best guys you could be around, one of the best teammates I’ve ever had.”
Briefly: The Raiders signed tight end Tory Humphrey, who has played in 31 career games with nine starts with the Saints and Packers in five seasons over seven years. … Offensive lineman Stefen Wisniewski (shoulder), safety Mike Mitchell (knee) and fullback Manase Tonga (knee) are all out until training camp starts in late July, although Allen said Tonga is “further along” than the others. … Receiver Denarius Moore hobbled off with a pulled hamstring. There was no immediate word on how long he’ll be out.

Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie liked the tempo of the team’s three-day minicamp, which concluded Thursday and signaled the end of the team’s organized offseason workouts.
“I knew they were going to throw in a lot on both sides of the ball,” McKenzie said. “But it was good to see things going right a whole lot more than wrong, as far as coaches yelling and screaming, running a play over and over again. You didn’t hear a lot of that.”
The Raiders installed 90 percent of the new offense during the offseason workouts, and new offensive coordinator Greg Knapp said there is a good reason.
“There has to be a sense of urgency now,” Knapp said. “When the new (collective bargaining agreement) got done, with less practice time, less practices, yet the expectations are the same, to win.
“The players need to feel in May and June that we’ve got to learn this now, we can’t wait until training camp. I hope they felt my urgency in my voice, and the way I coached on the field.”
The next time the players will hear Knapp and coach Dennis Allen’s voices is July 29, when camp opens in Napa.
No big backs: McKenzie admits that he hasn’t found a replacement for Michael Bush, the 6-foot-1, 245-pound back who handled short-distance duties and filled in for the injured Darren McFadden last year.
“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,” McKenzie said. “We feel good about the versatility of Marcel (Reece), and all our fullbacks have the ability to run it. (Owen) Schmitt can run it, short yardage. We got some guys that can, I’m kind of anxious to see them in preseason.”
Comfort with McClain: McKenzie echoed Allen’s earlier comments and said he is “comfortable” with the Rolando McClain situation. “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.”

If anyone has time to listen to the entire interview, let us know if theres something yummy in there.
This week’s KNBR Conversation is an edited excerpt from an interview of former Raiders coach John Madden by Tom Tolbert on Wednesday:
Tolbert: What do you think (Raiders quarterback) Carson Palmer has left in the tank?
Madden: I think they have to take a little pressure off him. If he has (running back Darren) McFadden for the whole year, obviously that’s gonna help him. I just felt, Palmer came in late, didn’t have a training camp – well, no one had a training camp, but he didn’t even have preseason – and came in and had to do it. And then when McFadden got hurt, there was too much on his shoulders. I just felt that you have to back him off a little, and just let him have some running game, a better defense, better special teams, just improve all your other areas, and I think that will really help Carson Palmer.
Tolbert: McFadden’s the key, isn’t he?
Madden: Well, yeah he is. You hate to say it, but he has to stay healthy. You can say that about anyone, but if he doesn’t stay healthy, they still have to have a good running game. You have to be able to do that. Then you can play-action pass, and then stay out of really long yardage, and stop the stupid penalties.
Tolbert: I think the 49ers are going to be better this year, but the schedule is gonna be tougher. How do they maneuver those obstacles?
Madden: Well I think (49ers head coach) Jim Harbaugh, last year, did one of the greatest coaching jobs not only of the year, but in the history of the NFL. To do that with a new coaching staff, no OTAs, no minicamps – just had to go into training camp and start doing that, and get all that stuff installed. I thought he did a great job. … I think they’re going to be a good team with Jim Harbaugh for a long time, but I think they’ll have a tough time matching the record they had last year.

Leinart sucks, but he is ideal for this situation in that he can teach the offense to both the starter and the future backup, and is pretty comfy earning a paycheck and not having to work on the weekends.

Richard Seymour at $15 million per season, is the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL.
the Raiders’ defense hasn’t been a force in quite a while. Last year it was 29th in total defense, 31st against the pass and 27th against the run. The rushing defense has been atrocious for the past nine years, never better than 22nd.

I think Madden is right when he puts Palmer’s success dependent upon the running game. I realize that McFadden is our best runner, but I don’t see any reason to think Palmer will sink if DMAC gets hurt. another RB or perhaps a committee approach has to step up and deliver. Palmer also has a terrible RT and no-named TE’s. A bunch of young oft-injured unproven WR’s. A brand new offense & coaching staff.
If McFadden is only good for 8 games, I say we keep him on the shelf until December!

===============================
Not sure I agree with all that. I mean he is old yes, approaching “Goat” status, but he is NOT Sapp, NOT Moss, NOT a disgruntled guy who’s gonna sit there and bad mouth the coaches and get the locker room in revolt.
The guy rode the bus to get the rookies two years ago, when the lockout was in affect, he personally funded a mini camp for the players who showed. He got their airfare, lodging, and fed them….He’s got 3 damn Rings. He’s been to the show and danced the big dance. I think he’s a fantastic mentor for our young D-Line guys. Sure he’s slower off the ball and can’t shed blocks as well but, he still draws double teams, and he has that big “C” patch on his jersey for a reason.
I don’t think he’s bringing us down man. I really don’t.

@skinnnylegs
that SD play, Huff stripped Rivers & CJ37 absolutely leveled the SD player who was about to recover it. Branch just scooped it up and ran for the score. If the first two players don’t do what they did – Branch is sitting around on that play picking his nose.
I just watched a bunch of Youtube clips on Branch yesterday where he makes a big hit on a player AFTER the first down marker, or he’s running players down from behind. He makes a few plays at or near the line of scrimmage [more than McClain actually]. good blitz guy. He wants $7-8 million per season. I compared him to a few other safeties in the league yesterday and all the semi pro’s could muster up in response was “you can’t compare them to guys in an Al Davis defense!” Well, how are you gonna pay a player $35+ million based upon what he accomplished in that same defense? You’re right. Branch isn’t a playmaker. If you give him a fat contract based upon what he did in a “contract year” and then he reverts back to turd status we’re screwed. You’re paying for potential, not production. Nnamdi Asomugha failed when he got outside of the Al Davis defense. Who says Branch wont do the same?
June 26th, 2012 at 7:28 am
The college kids were playing hard as they could, playing for a contract, maybe a big one is very motivating.
And the pros may have been casual about it but when they got pucnched in the face by a kid, they got mad and started playing hard as well. Made for a great game.
June 26th, 2012 at 7:28 am
Tony Parker almost lost his eye.. Maybe dont hang out with wild thugs huh?
June 26th, 2012 at 7:32 am
RR glad you agree but im just @ a loss why everyone from hue jax to reg mckz saying how good this guy is I dont think he should get that huge contract and also wasnt that great of a year for a contract year agree?
June 26th, 2012 at 7:33 am
yea always around the ball but a day late and a dollar short
June 26th, 2012 at 7:34 am
Did safeties Stuart Schweigert, Derrick Gibson & Gibril Wilson have amazing success after leaving the Al Davis defense?
last I checked nobody wants free agents Lito Sheppard, CJ37, Boyd or Eugene either. I guess no other NFL teams feel as if they were just “stunted”
KC obviously feels Stan Routt was pretty doggone good in Oakland’s defense. Same with Philly/Asomugha.
so spare me all the crap about nobody being able to produce in Oakland’s defense and we can’t compare our players to anybody elses.
June 26th, 2012 at 7:37 am
We should have traded branch last yr. Maybe sombody really belives he’s a star..
June 26th, 2012 at 7:37 am

Haha..i dont care about his school, he’s a proven guy. But he’s proven that he’s not a ballhawk or a dominant player the offense has to gameplan for.. 7-8 mil is way too much. He needs a fair deal.
June 26th, 2012 at 7:44 am
I dont think he should get that huge contract and also wasnt that great of a year for a contract year agree?
***
@skinnnylegs
No, he doesn’t deserve that monster contract, but McKenzie put himself in this position by placing the franchise tag on him. In other words saying, “you’re a player we can’t live without and you’ll be one of the highest paid at your position”. Nobody’s agent accepts a reasonable prove your worth type of contract after being tagged. Reggie lost all his leverage. Should have let Tyvon test the waters in free agency. Make him a solid take it or leave it offer. If Reggie wants to match his highest offer & TB wants to stay in Oakland? fine.
I do think his contract year was much better than his first 3 seasons. Chuck Bresnahan & Rod Woodson get all the credit for this imo. Branch was an absolute turd under DC John Marshall [and DB Coach Lionel Washington] who many feel was a better DC than Chuck. I think Tyvon Branch has potential and I think the entire defense will be better under Allen & Tarver. However, I don’t think anybody from the 2011 defense should break the bank. I think Branch might just play out this season on the tag. That would be the smart move for Reggie at this point. If he becomes a star, he’ll get paid like one. Right now? You don’t give an Eric Weddle contract to a player like Gibril Wilson 2.0.
make him EARN it!
June 26th, 2012 at 7:45 am
ya hes proven hes not a playmaker.bring rod woodson back

Branch signed his tag. We can trade him anytime we like!
Any team that trades for him, would likely give him a long-term deal. Question is, what is he worth via trade?
If we can get a 2nd & 5th for him, pull the trigger. That gives us our draft picks back from the Palmer & Curry trades.
Mike Mitchell & Curtis Taylor can play SS this season. They could make as many plays as Branch did, if given the same opportunity!

trade deadline is like mid-October, right?
plenty of time to evaluate Branch … would be safer to trade him now though while everybody thinks he’s the cream of the crop!
if he flops in this new defense, his trade value goes in the toilet and we get no draft picks for BigMac to use next draft

who remembers the javon walker deal omg getting mad just thinking about that bum

In March 2007, the Houston Texans acquired Schaub from the Falcons for second round picks in 2007 and 2008. As part of the deal, the teams also swapped first round picks in 2007, exchanging the Falcons’ 10th pick with the Texans’ 8th pick
June 26th, 2012 at 9:23 am
Rivers’ and Gates’ comments were interesting after LT left.
June 26th, 2012 at 9:24 am
“The only team I really gave a thought to was the Broncos, because of Peyton,” Tomlinson said Saturday. “We talked. Tom (Condon, Tomlinson’s agent) talked with them … It made me pause a little (and think), ‘Was this what I really want to do?’
“I said, ‘They got Peyton, they have a good defense already. They went deep in the playoffs with Tim Tebow. What are they going to do with Peyton?’ I seriously thought about it.”
Tomlinson said he would not have left San Diego for the New York Jets if the Chargers had won a Super Bowl after the 2009 season. The Chargers had a 13-3 record that season despite Tomlinson playing through an ankle injury. They lost in the AFC divisional playoffs.
“If we would have won the Super Bowl after nine years,” he said, “I would have retired a Charger. Then I wouldn’t even have gone to New York.”
He said he signed as free agent with the Jets to pursue a Super Bowl ring. It was the same reason he nearly signed with the Broncos before deciding to retire.
“That was the only reason I considered Denver,” he said. “At the same time, I thought, ‘How much is a Super Bowl ring really going to do for you at this point?’ Because it’s not with the team I really wanted to do it with.”
***********
What a punk B*TCh loser LT2 is. First he craps all over his former SD teammates, and then talks about not wanting to win without them. Everything about this dude is full on gey.

Just what I thought. I bet they were happy sending his 50″ visio shillin azz off to NYC to be a scrub backup. Probably laughing at the idea of him playing with Mark Sanchez. Served him right. San Diego got better the day he left. Unfortuntely for them, they got the Norv. Can’t ever win anything with that dud. One less team to worry about in the division.

Gates – sometimes you would get the sense that people felt bigger than the team. Not to say it was an issue, but we know it’s not an issue for sure now.
Hardwick – it’s exciting. We’re going to have to come up with our own identity…things are going to start to emerge and develop.

Dwight Howard should be the best player in the NBA, but he’s got a fragile ego and a soft puxxy when the chips are down.

Dwight has always played big in the the big games.
His immaturity off the court & latest ‘heel’ turn has been his downfall.
June 26th, 2012 at 9:59 am
I hope they examine his playoff stats when HOF voting comes around for him – 10 career playoff games – averaged under 50 yards. When the pressure was on, LT folded.

You’re right, Method. He doesn’t deserve those initials. Lady Tomlinson. Excuse me.
June 26th, 2012 at 10:07 am
Yeah, the playoff meltdowns are what LT2 should be remembered for. Come January, having him on your team meant for nothing. But the HOF is all about compiled stats, and not so much about post-season acheivements. When they run the highlight reel for his induction ceremony, all they will be running are September and October game footage. What will be his career signature play or moment? That he went a decade plus never really caring if he won a superbowl?
It’ll be a damn shame to see him inducted. He’s already asking for his but-buddy Lorenzo Neal to give the induction speach. Way to put the cart before the horse there LT. lol

Anybody here about Thomas Mayo at camp? Competition looks pretty tough at WR.
After a great week at the East/West Shrine game in Florida, NFL scouts left talking about a small school wide receiver. In just a few days, Thomas Mayo was showing NFL scouts, why he deserved a chance to be on the football field at the next level. Thomas Mayo was one of the most explosive wide receivers in the history of Division II amassing 4,000 plus receiving yards. I have done interviews with Thomas in the past, and can’t wait to see how he has been in Oakland after surviving his first OTA’s as a Raider.

Not a lot of talk about Mayo during OTA’s. I guess he’ll get a chance to show his stuff in training camp, but if we haven’t heard anything of note, he’s probably not going to stick. It’s important to note who is running with the one’s and Mayo wasn’t anywhere near them.

A lot of people blame CJ37 & Routt..
The lack of pressure did them in more time than not.
Thats why the “Branch isnt that good argument is so weak”
Our secondary was put out to dry by bad scheme and no pressure every other play.
__________________________________________________
Also, coaching is going to have a huge impact. Seemed like our secondary was confused a lot of time and pointing fingers. I am also leaning on Rod Woodson’s comments that players were not coached up with Hue in charge.
Think Houston will have a surprise year. Didn’t he have the second most holding penalities against him in the league (i.e he was held)?
June 26th, 2012 at 10:46 am
It may take half a season to gel, but in the end, DA will have that side of the ball playing at least NFL-average
**********
SR,
That’s code for starting the season 2-6, improving to a 6-10 or 7-9 finish. Mad Scientist Tarver and DA have to get the pressure early and often if they want to give us a chance to finish strong. This is like moneyball. Trying to plug in has beens and wannabees into specific situations to manufacture stats.

That all depends on Lamarr’s “want to”. Does he “want to”? Man, he can be a beast at times, but other times he checks out and his backside pursuit is on par with Romac’s. If had half the motor of Shonasty, with his tools, he’d be special. Just a matter of “want to”.
June 26th, 2012 at 10:49 am
123 – don’t discount the offense at the start of the season. They have the potential to be top-10, which will win a few games early (before DMAC gets hurt)
June 26th, 2012 at 10:50 am
Who is going to replace the constant pressure that Kam Wimbley brought that led to sacks and hurries? And consider that with our new look CB’s, we need to amp that pressure up at least 50% to be effective. Who’s bringing the heat?

SR,
I agree with you about the offense. I’m still very concerned with the right tackle position which sucks. But theoretically we should win a few shootouts early. But add in the injuries which are bound to happen and guess what….no more shootouts, but blowouts instead. If DA and Mad Scientist Tarver don’t cook up some special chicken salad recipe.

DAV – being able to draw quality FA’s to your team is a huge deal. Even more so in the NBA. LA is one of those places good players want to go. That is huge, cap or no cap.
Hopefully the cap works and one or two great players make their way to Oakland instead.

It’s all speculation. Always is…..Who’s gonna be hurt, who’s gonna break out, who’s gonna tank, who’s gonna be our difference maker?
Nasty is healthy right now….he brings the heat until he ain’t. Kam Wimbley’s contributions went largely unsung, I’ll give you that. He was creating ruckous and got MAD QB knock-downs. Burris is a Rookie, but skinny? He’s lighter than Kam by what 10-15 lbs? Did you see any of his highlights? He’s got a target lock on the football and shed’s blockers like they’re children.

This. For God’s sake, I was worried that we were going to let the Browns do something hard as hell and recover that onside kick. Thank God they didn’t.
Oh, wait. Nevermind.
The Defense was a joke last year, and as much as I respected Al, Huff was right when he said he was ready to play for a “Real Defense”. Having Palmer and McFadden on the field at the same time will be effective, because if things get as bad as last year we’ll have to be equipped to winning shootouts.
June 26th, 2012 at 11:27 am
Dennis Allen didn’t do jack squat in Denver.
I’m glad that he’s our HC anyways. bright young mind. disciplined. up & comer. meshes with what Reggie wants to do. glad we didn’t go for a loser retread or retain Hueball
DA will do big things in Oakland
June 26th, 2012 at 11:29 am
So if we can agree that the defense sucked, and it’s a game of numbers (playing moneyball here)…
Adding a new rookie DC from college and a one year wonder DC who salvaged a bad defense to mediocre as the new HC is supposed to close the gap to mediocity on defense?
What playmakers have they brought to the table? What’s in the plus column and what’s in the minus?
If anything, we added and lost and the sum of the components is a wash, even with Shonasty healthy. I’m not seeing a reason to believe in improvement, just on the assumption that DA and mad scientist Tarver are going to “modernize” the post AD defense. Sorry, but I am just not feeling that gullible today.
June 26th, 2012 at 11:33 am
I don’t think they’re gonna be Baltimore or anything…I think they’ll be better than last year. Even if it’s barely noticable. I DOUBT seriously that they’ll be worse. Maybe stay even but, I doubt that too. They will push off the bottom of the pool this year and start climbing. I look to see improvement and I think I will. I think we’ll all feel better once this year kicks off but, I’ll be the first to eat my turd sandwhich if they still suck.

Bottom line is: players have to make plays. The DC can’t do this for them. It’s on them, or it should be. Guys like Huff can run their mouths all they want, but they were the ones not giving max effort out there. And if they deny it, they are lying to themselves and Raider Nation.

I especially like the part about “rejuvinating of vets”, because if you look at the good teams, the older guys are giving it max effort cuz they are leading the way for the young guys and building a franchise for the long haul. Pretty soon, free agents start whispering among themselves and talking about where they want to play. That’s how it used to be in Oakland. It used to be a sought after location to play football. Then it become the place only money could lure good players. For the team to build on 2012, the culture of the vets has to change for the better.

They do have plenty of cash and cap space is tight, but for years they have been trading away 1st round draft pick in order to pay less under the luxury tax, and now their old roster is paying for it. Some fans like Jhill were in denial that the trade deadline moves made by the Lakers where they gave away two first round draft picks were to make the team better, when in fact it was to acquire players whose contracts were either up, or unlikely to re-sign and dump some other contracts.
The Lakers just signed a billion dollar TV deal, but now they are crying poor due to revenue sharing. Only idiots are buying that line.
It will take the season ticket holders waking up before Jim Buss will be stopped.

A: Michael Huff. He will be used more appropriately, in a manner that better fits his skills.

I want to see someone step up and clearly become the #1 wr. I have some concerns about D-Wow’s hamstring, DHB’s hands, V12 Ford’s durability, Murph’s ability to beat bump & run coverage, and Criner/Streater’s inexperience.
June 26th, 2012 at 12:34 pm
If Gordon lacks the speed and pass catching ability and the bar is Brandon Myers, cut him already. He’s a damn stiff.

Makes up for it in strength, blocking & ST’s.
Also his speed & catch ability mean little as a FB.
He can do both IMO.

next question to SC in live chat:
I think Branch needs to make more plays to be considered a top safety in the NFL. Can I get some forced fumbles, INT’s , passes defensed & tackles for a loss? or do we pay top dollar for 100+ tackle seasons like Gibril Wilson ???

Don’t get me wrong. I WANT Brandon Myers on the team. As the backup TE. And he’s a very good special teams player. Hope he makes the team. But he’s not a legit threat as a starting TE. He’s stiff, robotic, lead footed, and has no YAC ability.

If Carson Palmer throws 35 TD’s, we are looking at 4-12 or 5-11. That’s not the recipe for success. That means he’s throwing for 20+ Int’s as well. Some of those will be 4th qtr backbreakers.

Barely made it to the head before I yacked in the bathtub, then started squirting hershey’s syrup all over the vanity
Just put on some Baha Men to try and chill out, but got the shivers and started barfing all over again, this time in my magazine rack

Well for never practicing with & no training camp with any of the WRs, Carson came in off his couch and performed pretty decent in my book.
That’s impressive to me.
28/43 for 417 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT in the last game. Finished strong.

W’s should pick Waiters or Lillard at #7, since they will be the best players available and then try and trade up in the first round from their #30 pick to snatch Vandy SF Jeff Taylor!
******************
No…Waiters sucks man…Klay is at SG…the James Harden sixth man schit is garbage….your best 5 start…fk we need Waiters for?
Warriors need to trade down if they cant get a vet SF….draft Harkless,Moultrie or Royce white…we need above the rim players
June 26th, 2012 at 2:02 pm
Palmer is going to be fine in this system with a fresh start and fast WR’s.
Stop bashing him give the guy a chance to redeem himself with a full off season with his WR’s he will be fine.
He is our QB so I don’t see why we cant all have high hopes about what he is going to do next year.

W’s need to continue to build thru the draft or blow the whole roster up.
Curry’s ankle really scares me.
Them, Houston & Portland are at a crossroads. All 3 have to consider trading for Dwight.
They either get lucky & he stays, or they get rid of contracts in the end.

The old president wanted to start a war and the opposing party was against it so they fought about it for a few years and nothing got done in Washington.
The new president wanted everyone to have health care the opposing party wants nothing to do with it except to fight it so they spend a few years fighting about it and again nothing gets done in Washington.
Meanwhile a sh!tload of people are out of work and no one in Washington cares.
People need to wake up the Democrats and Republicans do not care about you they care about their party, elections and making sure the other party looks bad.

This is what I posted last night when I was KK and Sully44 holding hands under the blog light night:
Look at you two flirting on the blog. You would make a perfect couple Sully44 and KK riding off in the sunset, a two troll bromance built on hate for Al Davis and lying about people on the Blog.
Sully44 could finally get the street cred he so desperately desires from black guys in Oakland for dating KK even if he is older than dirt.
KK can have someone to changes his diapers makes sure he takes his Metamucil everyday and give him sponge baths. You two are perfect for each other.

June 26th, 2012 at 4:14 pm
man, Routt’s only shout to fame is the STATS inc numbers Al’s cronies pimped to the press…Routt will follow the Jerry Porter route, 1 year on another team then out of the league.
June 26th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
For the first time in 25 years or more our defense will be led by 1 voice and be on the same page since day 1. I expect a huge improvement, the sky is the limit.
With all due respect to AL and his legacy but our defense was a debacle because he meddled too damn much.
June 26th, 2012 at 4:16 pm
Tommy Kelly knows the Jerry Porter route, that’s why he is hoping against hope he doesn’t get cut this training camp… Reggie Mac will cut the fat!

June 26th, 2012 at 4:26 pm
before the snap Routt likes to look around, raise his hands and ask his teammates wtf he should do. after the snap he likes to run toward the RB once he knows he is toast, this way the STATS inc mathematicians can’s blame him for the WRs catch…. Routt wil get burned routinely, should be 4th string by week 9.

Hey, Al wasnt there for the second half of last season…and I agree, Al was responsible for the D’s decades of poor play, but just not having Chuky B will improve this D immensely.

Not disagreeing about the ramifications of Al Davis input into the D, but Schweigert blamed the scheme as to why he looked so bad. Left the Raiders, joined the Redskins and still looked bad in their scheme and then retired.
June 26th, 2012 at 4:39 pm

*** Live Chat highlights ***
Q: Will CP toss 35 TDs this season?
A: I say more than that.
Q: do you think Richard Gordon has any shot to claim that starting TE spot?
A: Not much of a chance to be the starter. He lacks the speed and the pass-catching ability to be an every-down TE.
Q: If McClain gets suspended during the season, do you think LB or secondary is our weakest area?
A: Heck, you might make the case that the Raiders could be improved at linebacker with McClain out of the equation.
Q: does mike mitchell make the team this year alot of new saftys in camp’
A: He will be on the team this season. He’s too versatile and plays special teams. Oh, and he doesn’t cost much.
Q: does Mike Mitchell remind you of Derrick Gibson ??
A: No, he’s better than Gibson.
Q: Steve, do you think Branch is worth $7-8 million per season ??
A: If he plays the way he did the first 3/4 of last season, yes.
Q: I think Branch needs to make more plays to be considered a top safety in the NFL. Can I get some forced fumbles, INT’s , passes defensed & tackles for a loss? or do we pay top dollar for 100+ tackle seasons like Gibril Wilson ???
A: Agreed. Ouch, don’t mention Gibril Wilson in these parts.
Q: Who will have a bigger breakout year: Huff or Branch?
A: Michael Huff. He will be used more appropriately, in a manner that better fits his skills.
Q: I think Ron Bartell is as good Routt if he bounces back. Your thoughts?
A: Ron Bartell looked very, very good in the mini camps. Not worried about how he holds up at all.

Mitchell tends to want the big hits and over-pursue tackles imo, but his special teams play may be his only ticket to the roster.

June 27th, 2012 at 6:27 am
Post 805 – I don’t think it’s in the Raiders best interest for Carson Palmer to throw for 35+ TD’s. He’d also have at least 20+ int’s with that production. But more importantly, it would signal that the ground attack is not working because the defense has failed miserably, and CP3 is heaving the ball playing catchup. It’s not the Raiders MO to be pass heavy.
Greg Knapp needs to continue a 55/45 run/pass split and ball control offense to eat clock and keep the defense fresh. I don’t see great QB stats as a good thing for the teams overall record.

Steve is money with most of his takes, unlike Jerry.
Steve takes a lot of heat for saying that DHB was like the 5th WR in OTA’s last offseason. Thats probably because he was! Schilens, Hagan, Ford, Moore & Murphy all outshined him during the offseason. probably because DHB was battling thru injury. but guess what? Heyward-Bey got better. first 3 weeks of the season he was basically a no-show. then he the light bulb comes on and he’s a BEAST … nobody predicted that, except for RRS. Jhill was on board for a while, but last year changed his mind before the reg season started. instead of giving Cork blame , how about you give King Darrius some credit ??

No worries guys….
I see Criner as being our work-horse, possession receiver, go to guy, red zone target, chain mover and TD machine.
Moore is gonna be the DEEP strike threat and field stretcher, also a TD Machine.
DHB is going to be exactly what we need him to be. A short route -just get him the ball-, physical as hell, fight for yardage, change up. He probably won’t be a TD Machine, and probably won’t be a chain mover consistantly. But he’ll get the yards, and score some TD’s. Forget his draft status. Let him do what he’s good at. He has a desireble contribution.
I didn’t forget Ford, but we already know what he brings to the table.

No way Carson doesn’t see the consistent separation little #12 is going to provide. Deep threat and take-it-to-the-house scoring threat.

======================================
I just remember how extatic I was during that K.C. game his rookie year. He was making some F-ing spectacular catches DEEP downfield. He fights for the football and yeah, his speed is top shelf. I don’t know if it was injury combined with scheme or play calling but, he seemed underutilized, and kind of vanished at times. Obviously his Kick return skills are Un-matched on the team.
June 27th, 2012 at 7:34 am
Well, I think the whole thing on draft day was for the Raiders to pick Crabtree! Based on his “sigh” after he wasn’t picked, I’m glad we didn’t! So…since Al picked DHB, it’s the whole Crabtree vs DHB thing. Based on those 2, I believe Al got it right!

Honestly the pick floored me. I was expecting Crabtree or Maclin, and Harvin wouldn’t have surprised me with his Raider speed. But Bey was a shocker!

I’d love it if that happened. I really, really like DHB as a person and a player. I feel proud to say he’s a Raider. I never ever bashed the kid, even when he was doing terrible. He just lowered MY personal expectations of him……But after last year…..He got me excited again. Now I think he might be onto something, and really make a solid contribution next year.

Yeah, I forgot Maclin was mentioned…one thing I will give DHB…he has the work ethic to succeed and I think he is proving that. A little unorthodox here and there which could go either way, but just his desire to be the best he could be, I’ll take that and hopefully it will continue to rub off on the rest of the team!

How can you NOT do that and be a true fan. Same exact thing for me. When they called DHB’s name at the podium,
I stood there stunned as hell, W.T.F.? What the hell did they just do?
Alright then, Come on Heyward-Bey, you’re my boy, let’s gettir.
And I’d cheered for him ever since. He coulda cried in his Cheerios about how bad he sucked his rookie year…..NOPE…..He went out on that field and practiced all off season. Did he get better? Not a whole lot. So he practiced more, and more with such a great positive attitude. You gotta love that kid. NOW he’s producing which is fantastic.
June 27th, 2012 at 7:54 am
Heyward-Bey played on teams that ran more than passed.
“Here’s the conundrum with him: big, fast guy whose track speed translates to the football field. With the ball in his hands, he’s deadly,” says Mike Mayock. NFL Network draft analyst.
“But the key is you’ve got to get the ball in his hands first.”
Mayock says he’s found it difficult to evaluate Heyward-Bey’s route running and hands on game tapes because Maryland’s passing game was “sporadic.” His conclusion is that he has “pretty good” but not “great”‘ hands.
“So he’s a little bit of a puzzle,” says Mayock.

June 27th, 2012 at 7:55 am
Three years ago the Oline and the WR were our weakest positions. Now they are our strengths. Almost any team would be thankful to be in our shoes. We have some NFL proven WR’s and they are young, very young.
Ford and Murph have proven themselves already. They just have to be healthy. Moore may be our best WR. This year will tell more. Throw Criner and Streater in the mix and break out perinnial pro bowler Bey and the Raiders are set at WR (barring injury) for years to come.
Nice job AL

Mike Mayock Reports Darrius Heyward Bey’s Stock is Climbing–Maybe Up to Oakland’s #7 Pick
April 14th, 2009
I guess his 40 time of 4.3 and his 38″ vertical leap has finally awoke some of the NFL teams besides the Ravens. It seems the Ravens won’t get lucky and have DHB slip down to 26th. The Oakland Raiders were impressed with his workout and now the New York Jets are entering the picture. The next few weeks should be exciting for the McDonogh lad.

Yeah, but they all saw him unleash last year while Al was still alive (briefly)…Haters will always hate, but unfortunately, the Al thing became true! RIP Al and God Bless him!

I was relaxing in the pool when the Heyward Bey pick was announced. I’d been hushing my kids from all the splashing. I was in a really good mood, sipping a beer. Life was good. Pick comes in. Heyward Bey slaps on a Raiders cap with his entourage. I winced. I don’t remember what I said but it was bad. Very very bad words not to be repeated in front of the kids. I think I may have yelled them out. My head was pulsing and eyes watering and on fire. I had to bribe the kids with ice cream not to tell on me to their mama. 5 minutes later, I switched the channel to spongebob squarepants and felt like crying in my beer.
June 27th, 2012 at 8:03 am
Yea bj raji was there too. I had him pegged wrong though. I thought bj would be lazy.
June 27th, 2012 at 8:05 am

I thought for sure we’d take one of the three:
Eugene Monroe, B. J. Raji or Michael Crabtree

Realistically, KC is the strongest team in the division. Their achilles heel is they are the only team without a franchise QB in the division. But that team is loaded for bear.

“My last comment says “Awaiting mediation” does that mean I got too many naughty words in it?”
Yes but there are also words that are not forbidden that are not naughty like j3w or 0bama that are not allowed for some strange reason.

ESPN has announced that Chris Berman and Trent Dilfer will call the second game of the season-opening Monday Night Football doubleheader, when the Raiders host the Chargers.
Per ESPN, Berman will host Sunday NFL Countdown on Week One, then fly to Oakland to prepare for the Monday night game. There’s no specific word yet on who will replace Berman for The Blitz, Berman’s SportsCenter-embedded review of game highlights with Tom Jackson.

============================
I like the thought of the AFC WEST being a factor again. Sure it’s harder to win your division, but I’d rather every team be good, and battle each other and have our division games be MORE than just the rivalry for rivalry’s sake. Have something at stake for both teams when they play. I wanna be back in the playoffs So Effing bad but, can’t say I’d feel too good about it if they were like Seahawks. YAAAYYY, we’re the best of the worst, goin to the post season at 7-9.
Yeah yeah, they beat the Saints……I think you know what I’m sayin though.

I hate Trent Dilfer. Remember him and Suzy Colber laughing it up and clowning on DHB shortly after he was picked? I’ll never forget the classless act that they called an interview. His family was watching and it was a proud moment to be on National TV and he was the butt of BSPN’s joke.

@G123
Matt Cassel threw for 3100+ yards & 27 TD’s in 2010. Had a QB Rating of 93. Won the division & went to the Pro Bowl
only started the first 9 games last season and was on pace to throw for 3000 yards & 18 TD’s (even without Charles & Moeaki) certainly would have won the AFC West again
this year they add Hillis, Boss & Winston to the offense. plus another year of experience for star WR Jonathan Baldwin
I hate KC more than any other football team, but they are stacked. I hope Cassel gets hurt again. If he doesn’t they will make the postseason

I was down on Tennessee for a few days, was driving around and picked up some ESPN radio station and heard some “analysis” of the Raiders for this season and it seems they are picking us to be bad becuz they just think we will be; no in depth reasons really; new HC, lost Bush, new direction of org…etc. It seems they think it’s rebuilding era and we’re just gonna be bad while we rebuild and eventually we’ll get better..They mentioned other teams in the Afc West got better and we are rebuilding so they don’t see us doing anything.
Like I said. no REAL analysis or an effort to really break everything down…more of a general feeling.

“I think subconsciously, I understood that being gay — the way I was raised — was wrong,” McClain told Amy K. Nelson of SB Nation. “And there was no way that my family, at least, in my mind, would accept me. And also that my football family would accept me. Just because of the perception of being gay meant that you were less masculine.”
McClain, now 22, told Nelson of the friendships he developed with Stanford Routt, Quentin Groves and Darryl Blackstock in Oakland more than a year ago, but he kept his secret in a league that has never had an openly gay player. He told of a moment with the Raiders in 2010, when another player was “perceived to be different,” and was warned not to do something that could lead to not making the roster. Confronted by that reality, McClain kept quiet, spending thousands at strip clubs to fool his teammates.
“You just want to be one of the guys, and you don’t want to lose that sense of family,” McClain told OutSports.com. “Your biggest fear is that you’ll lose that camaraderie and family. I think about how close I was with Branch and Kelly. It’s not like they’d like me less, it’s that they have to protect their own brand.”

Just goes to show you that its easy to talk up a good game but once you are on the field it takes a special breed to play MLB.
Tackling is a state of mind you have to WANT to hit someone and and you have to have the desire to bring them down to the ground and hard.

Terrell Owens Sex Photos Being Shopped
As if you didn’t already know, former NFL star Terrell Owens loves himself. He loves himself so much, he pleasures himself on camera and the photos are being shopped to various media outlets.
A woman is trying to sell photos of Terrell Owens pleasuring himself to any media publication who’s interested. The woman, who remains unidentified at this time, claims she met the former football player on Twitter and began a series of conversations. Once the two were comfortable enough with each other, they took their exchanges to Skype. Owens and the woman’s conversations turned sexual and they began a cyber-sex relationship. During a time they were engaged in cyber-sex, she snapped a few photos of Owens touching himself.

Lakers trying to trade Gasol, make big move, but no takers yet
The Lakers need to make changes. Well, unless you think Kobe Bryant and the Lakers fan base sits well with second round exits. Los Angeles needs to bring in more talent to help them win now around Kobe, Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol.
The Lakers management also sees the looming luxury tax increase they would face if they don’t lower their payroll — last year they had $86 million in salary, paying a $16 million tax, but if this were 2015 that same payroll would lead to a $52 million tax. That would be in addition to their increased revenue sharing checks.
That is the crossroads the Lakers find themselves at — needing upgrades to win now but not having a lot of resources to bring in more talent, plus the cost of what they do bring in goes up exponentially in coming years. Rock, meet hard place.
The Lakers have been rumored to be talking to teams in the 20s about moving into the first round of the NBA Draft (there are a lot of teams shopping picks in that range). Which is nice. With a pick in the 20s they can get a guy that in a couple years may be a solid rotation player.
But we all know the Lakers need to make a bigger move — and they are open to it, but there are no nibbles tweets Marc Spears at Yahoo Sports.
The Lakers are very open to trade talk in regards to forward Pau Gasol, but nothing is imminent, according to two NBA sources.
If the Lakers make a bold move, don’t expect it to be around the draft. Owner Jim Buss said not to expect one at all, and maybe that’s the case. But more likely the Lakers are looking for a big move that is a win for them and being patient. They have always been a patient franchise (just with an impatient fan base). They will try to jump in the Dwight Howard sweepstakes when that ramps up again.
But they are not looking to give projects big minutes, which is why you shouldn’t be expected a draft-day move.

I am not a huge fan of this draft pool, but you got to do better than Wilson Chandler at #7, especially when you factor in he probably earns 2-3X’s what we would pay the rookie.
Is that just a rumor or did we do this?

Terrell Owens Sex Photos Being Shopped
As if you didn’t already know, former NFL star Terrell Owens loves himself. He loves himself so much, he pleasures himself on camera and the photos are being shopped to various media outlets.
A woman is trying to sell photos of Terrell Owens pleasuring himself to any media publication who’s interested. The woman, who remains unidentified at this time, claims she met the former football player on Twitter and began a series of conversations. Once the two were comfortable enough with each other, they took their exchanges to Skype. Owens and the woman’s conversations turned sexual and they began a cyber-sex relationship. During a time they were engaged in cyber-sex, she snapped a few photos of Owens touching himself.

He is a RFA I believe…
And this draft is the deepest in years actually.
Just a deal on the table at this point.
June 27th, 2012 at 9:48 am
I think of a team like Cleveland for instance. Even if they picked up every top FA available and looked on paper to be loaded…and nobody could make a case that they shouyldn’t win the division at least, or even go deep in the playoffs, hardly anybody would pick them to do anything more than 8-8. Why? We are all just so used to them being bad or average at best and you just can’t picture them as really doing anything.
Too much losing the past decade and choking away big chances (see SD game last yr.) and it’s hard to go out and say “These guys are gonna be really good this yr” when talking about the Raiders. We’re gonna have to prove it on the field before anyone will take us seriously…especially with the new regime.
Conversely, if the Steelers were to lose every key player they have, they have such a history of consistently winning that everyone would still pick them to win.

@DJG
Mike Holmgren & Tom Heckert should have went on a spending spree this offseason. Cleveland needs a qb & Brandon Weeden isn’t it. They should have made a run at Peyton Manning, Matt Flynn & RGIII. Even Chad Henne or Tim Tebow!
Brownies O-Line & Defense are just fine, but they entered this offseason with NOBODY at QB, RB & WR.

I agree that Cleveland really dropped the ball reaching on Brandon Weedon in the first round. He’s got a big arm, but at 28 yo, how long does he have to ramp up to be the franchise QB? It’s more likely the Brownies are spending another high first rounder on a QB next year.

If this offseason taught us anything is that RBs are not as valuable as they were. TDs are scored by QBs & WRs, RB by committee is the trend, and the leagues best backs are out there getting franchise tagged cause nobody wants to give them the big bucks….

The fall of the Lakers is taking place right now. Jim Buss is intent on running the Lakers under the luxury cap and has been cutting away at the roster while crying poor about the luxary tax and the revenue sharing. Total BS when you are making nearly $200 million a year on a local TV deal that pays all of your expenses before you get a dime from the NBA TV deals, ticket sales and consessions.
The Lakers have always managed to get a good product on the floor….even after Magic and Worthy retires, the days of Nick the Quick, Eddie Jones, Eldon, Vlade, Cedric….those were fun teams to watch.
I don’t see the Lakers just re-loading this time. Partly because the owner’s son is running it, and partly because the other owners are tired of the Lakers taking all of the rings.

I believe someone raised the question of Al Saunders’ role in the organization. We know that the Raiders kept him as he was on contract and money would have gone to waste. New regime in; they bring back Knapp. Knapp appears to have control by and large of the offense. I envision Saunders in the booth surveying the battlefield and relaying the information to Knapp on the sideline. Having that tome Saunders brings to the table, can’t hurt either. I’m sure he will have influence, but will go largely unnoticed. At least on the D side of things Bresh set the bar low with his signature dog$#!t defense, so the HC can focus in on, and as a result, become a miracle worker. So be it, time for the Raiders to Reign! Oh and if McClain breaks Peyton’s neck, all will be forgiven.

I don’t know man. It seemed to me the media ripped on the Raiders every chance they got.
I guess it depends on who it is doing the “critique’s”.
My opinion is the Raiders being good is good for the league.
I never got the feeling in the last decade that the media was going easy on us though.
None of us really know how good we’ll be this yr.
On paper, it makes sense to me how we SHOULD be 10-6, 11-5…something like that, but you just never know till you play the games.

Johnny, you think the media ripped on the Raiders every chance they got because you’re a fan boy who takes every hint of criticism personally. I was a fan but at the same time knew that Davis was destroying the team. And I’m telling you, the media walked on egg shells. That run between 2003 and 2009 is one of the worst of any sports teams ever. And really, the Raiders only made the news when something big happened. The media should have given that team no respect.

Nothing wrong with being a sports fan but “loyalty” is kind of deep, isn’t it? If some teams ownership pisses you off to the point to where they’re unwatchable, you’re not obligated to continue throwing your money at them. People who think you are must be brainwashed clowns.

Supporting your team doesn’t mean dishing out cash just to do so. Hats are like what? $18 bucks? I guess loyalty means that you will never have another team that you’re heart belongs to!

——————
That comment wasn’t directed at you.
I was making a general statement.
For example, when it comes to players sticking with the team that gave them a chance and drafted them to people jumping from job to job after an employer took a shot on a them as a kid fresh out of school.
Back in the day a lot of people would have been more apt to stay with the team/employer who believed in them because they felt it was the right thing. Now it’s show me the $$ more often than not.
Loyalty is valued just about as highly as marriage nowadays, unfortunetley. (Yes, I’m aware your happily married, So once again not directed at you) Just making a point.
That being said, I don’t agree with team jumping because you like a player. Pick a team for whatever reason you believe is right and stick with them thru thick and thin. Is it possible you try to follow a winning team in B-ball because our beloved Raiders have been less than spectcular?
Al Davis’s loyalty and doing things his way were 2 of the biggest reasons I became a Raiders fan.
Oh yeah, and kick ass uniforms lol
June 27th, 2012 at 11:19 am

I liked Asomugha and could care less about the Eagles.

Actually the guy said that he would just be a fan of the NBA when Kobe leaves/retires! I have no problem with that! I always have to set people straight though…I am a Laker fan, not a Kobe fan! And speaking of bandwagons…yes, I became a fan because of the original Lakeshow….SHOWTIME! That was 79, 80…stuck with them since! Almost as long as I was a Raider/A’s fan! Have the shirt to prove it also!

You are 100% correct DAV.There are numerous instances where players who Raider fans probably hated on other teams became Raiders and we fans rooted for them.Romo and Alzado are 2 that come to mind.The only one I can think of who I personally could NEVER root for was fairy Rice.Yet when a player leaves you can follow the player,still like him,but you should never root for his new team,ie. Stabler to Houston or Flores to KC.

A “real fan” can do whatever they want, even jump team to team. You can be a fan of a player. There’s nothing wrong with that. Shoe me a law that says you can’t. Who dictates this stuff?

The old Will Smith saying…
If you weren’t here for my struggles, then I don’t want you here for my success! I kind of agree with that, but not gonna get down on anyone that just doesn’t have a team!
I do get both sides of this!
I cheer for the W’s because they are my home team and I would love to see them do good, just not against the Lakers…like I hardly watch hockey, but became a Kings fan when The Great One arrived in LA (and then the color change)…root for the Sharks because they are the home team. Like I said, doesn’t bother me…

Could this overdone loyalty to sports team be part of America’s decline into a 3rd world country? Think we might see a riot in America like those European soccer riots? What happened at the stick last year was close. Shots were fired.
June 27th, 2012 at 11:40 am
its an unwritten rule. if u are gonna jump from team to team you are not a “real fan”. you cant be a true supporter of a team if you are just going to jump to the next team a yr or two later.

Being a displaced Raiders fan, I take ALOT of crap from all the Patriots fans I am surrounded by.
BUT…The one thing they all agree on is when the Raiders return to glory (and they will) They can’t say I’m a frontrunner. They all tell me “man you are definetley not a bandwagon fan!”
I personally take a lot of pride in that. I believe you enjoy the good times even more when you go thru the tough times. I can’t tell you the last time I missed a Raider game. I go whenever they are within a reasonable distance of my area. I scheduled my daughters baptism around the Raider bye week!!! MY House is silver and black!

Is there a misunderstanding??

I guess so, DAV.
I’m not going to Heat games or buying Heat gear. I’m rooting for them to win though, because I like LeBron.
does that make me a “Heat fan” ?
I guess so, as long as he’s playing for them!
he wins = they win. rooting for the player, not the team.
If he got traded to the Nets tomorrow, I guess you could call me a “Nets fan”

Man. Just cant get with that.
Would you follow your favorite Raider to another team?
June 27th, 2012 at 12:05 pm
I guess it would be better if you just say your a casual NBA fan?? And that you dont follow the sport closely??..

I would say that the Raider fan base is the most loyal and passionate of any sports team in america.
Sure we have a few dingle berries clinging to ass of our organization but that’s part of the way things are.

Hey, Raider til I die! We all give each other crap over who our NBA, or even MLB team is! But the one thing we all have in common is we are all part of “ONE NATION”!
To say something I couldn’t fathom was how the heck were there Raider fans who were also Giants fans or vice versa! First time I heard that, I had to scratch my head! Now its like, ahhh, whatevers….the one I don’t like is people who tell me that they were Raider fans until they moved to LA! Now they are Niner fans…I always tell them that they were never Raider fans to begin with!
And with that I know that they are many who will disagree with me on this!

==================
Anyone from Cali? I lived at Travis AFB, Vacaville, then Santa Rosa 6 years. Always liked Radiers over 9ers.
Didn’t really get hard core into football until I was in High School 96,97 time frame. Crossed over from casual fan to True Nation Brother about 2000. Saw brief glory in the beginning, and lots of heartache since. Many A Sunday spent at sports bar being the ONLY Raider fan in the joint and listening to everyone elses laughter when Raiders made bonehead play after bonehead play. Every F-ing Sunday I was there, getting snickers when I walked in with my Raider apparel. Now fans are coming outta the woodwork. I look at them and go, “Where the F were you?” I’d stay till the end, even when they were getting dominated. Payed my tab, and drug my feet out the door with my head down.
I know that was long winded but, there it is.

Black was always my color (even though many argue that its not). 1974, watched football with my dad and the Raiders were on tv! I asked my dad what was this game about and he told me and told me to pick a team. I immediately told him that team in black! He looked at me and said, ummm…ok! LOL
Since then, it was Maddens teams, and then I heard about Al! That is why I stayed a fan of The S&B till this day!

One unique thing about Raider fans is we will see another Raider fan we don’t know stranger on the street and we will shout RAIDERS!!!!
Its a beautiful part in my life that will never change.

I’m a Raider fan because my father and grandfather were. But I’m not “loyal”. I’m only loyal to my immediate family. Everything else is conditional. And why shouldn’t it be that way? Why should I be loyal to a company in the sports entertainment industry, which is what the NFL is? What have Raiders management done for me? Heck they wouldn’t even recognize me if I saw them on the street. And If I tried to approach them, I’d be carried off head first by security. I’m supposed to be loyal to that?

First we trade Gasol for an all star and a few draft picks. Then move Bynum and Blake for Howard and that chubby point guard.
That dude could easily wax Cousin the Genital in a game of Around the World, word
After that, maybe we trade Kobe to Atlanta (shout out to all my fine ladies in the clubs, whut) for Smith, Horford, Joe Johnson and #23.
Then we get a case of Moet Chandon and hella high with some ladies with low self esteem

I’m a Raider fan because my father and grandfather were. But I’m not “loyal”. I’m only loyal to my immediate family. Everything else is conditional. And why shouldn’t it be that way? Why should I be loyal to a company in the sports entertainment industry, which is what the NFL is? What have Raiders management done for me? Heck they wouldn’t even recognize me if I saw them on the street. And If I tried to approach them, I’d be carried off head first by security. I’m supposed to be loyal to that? Sorry, I’m not retarded.

Anyone from Cali? I lived at Travis AFB, Vacaville, then Santa Rosa 6 years. Always liked Radiers over 9ers.
Didn’t really get hard core into football until I was in High School 96,97 time frame. Crossed over from casual fan to True Nation Brother about 2000. Saw brief glory in the beginning, and lots of heartache since. Many A Sunday spent at sports bar being the ONLY Raider fan in the joint and listening to everyone elses laughter when Raiders made bonehead play after bonehead play. Every F-ing Sunday I was there, getting snickers when I walked in with my Raider apparel. Now fans are coming outta the woodwork. I look at them and go, “Where the F were you?” I’d stay till the end, even when they were getting dominated. Payed my tab, and drug my feet out the door with my head down.
I know that was long winded but, there it is.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Interesting.
I was at Travis for awhile when I came back and that was where I got to like the Raiders.
We’ve got something in common brother Raider.
I’ve got two questions:
1. What did you do when they snickered because you were rooting for the Raiders?
2. Why the fuk did you walk out with your head down?
June 27th, 2012 at 1:12 pm
I 1st saw the Raiders play in 1960.Our Boy Scout troop went to 2 games @ kezar.We went again the following year to Candlestick to see them.But it wasn’t until 1962 when they moved to Frank Youell field that I became a true Raider.A friend’s dad had season tickets and us kids got in for a buck and we’d sit in the endzone.Fun times and kids were allowed to be kids.I’ve watched this team go from being the worst team in the league to the best and back to the worst.Hopefully I’ll be able to see them become the best again.

Lakers interested in Kentucky’s Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, would be open to trading Pau for Top-5 pick and right package o’ players
June 27th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
Gasol is not the only guy the Lakers are shopping, but it might not work. From ESPN.
The Lakers might have an even tougher sell with Metta World Peace, who also has been shopped in order to gauge his trade value. While the Lakers would be looking for considerably less, such as a late first-round pick or perhaps some cap relief, World Peace’s contract obligations (two years, $15 million remaining on his deal) — combined with a 15 percent trade kicker — might prove too much for another team to bear

http://www.silverandblackpride.com/2012/6/26/3117953/oakland-raiders-carson-palmer-getting-no-love-in-2012-nfl-quarterback-rankings
With the offseason in full swing, the sports media outlets are coming out with their player rankings. The general consensus among the rankings is that Carson Palmer is a bottom tier quarterback. I have yet to see a single list that has him cracking the top 20. This seems a bit low for a two time Pro Bowler and franchise quarterback so I thought I would poke around and see why that might be.
Not all of these lists have the same quarterbacks ahead or behind Palmer on their rankings. And yet they all have him hovering around the 20-25 range. Is the man who was part of what Hue Jackson called “the greatest trade in football” really deserving of such little respect and low expectations?
Let’s break this down…
The top few quarterbacks are simple. They are made up of some obvious top tier quarterbacks who have won one or more Super Bowls. However you choose to order them, they are as follows
The top few quarterbacks are simple. They are made up of some obvious top tier quarterbacks who have won one or more Super Bowls. However you choose to order them, they are as follows
1. Aaron Rodgers
2. Eli Manning
3. Tom Brady
4. Peyton Manning
5. Drew Brees
6. Ben Roethlisberger
This is where the “everyone else” part of the list begins. And it is also where it is far less certain as to who deserves to be considered a upper tier quarterback.
The lists across the board seem to blur the line between those ranked based upon past achievements or potential. The next group of quarterbacks who fall in this mid-range category go something like this:
7. Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
8. Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons
9. Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles
10. Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions
11. Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers
12. Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens
13. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
14. Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears
15. Matt Schaub, Houston Texans
Whatever order this group is listed, they are all here in this range– and Carson Palmer is never among them or immediately following.
I saw lists where Palmer was ranked below Andrew Luck, who is a rookie on a rebuilding Colts team. Even Peyton Manning was a disaster in that situation in Indy when he was a rookie. I have seen lists in which Palmer is below the likes of Alex Smith, Mark Sanchez, Josh Freeman, and Ryan Fitzpatrick– all of whom have career quarterback ratings in the 70’s (Palmer’s career QB rating is 86.3).
Typically, he lands as low as possible among those who are actually considered sure starters next season. He barely tops guys like Matt Flynn, Robert Griffin III, and Jake Locker– none of whom have proven anything on the NFL level and may not even start this season.
I would be the first to tell you that rankings don’t mean anything and are nothing to get worked up about. Stats are also not the be all end all. Even wins and losses are not always a good judge of a quarterback’s greatness.
There are many situations in which a team is built to win through its defense. The Ravens and 49ers were two such teams last season. Although I do give Joe Flacco and Alex Smith a lot of credit for not making any big mistakes, playing within the system, and allowing their defense to do their job. But playing not to lose does not a great quarterback make.
I won’t say Flacco and Smith don’t deserve to be among the top 15 quarterbacks in the NFL because they were able to execute their respective offenses to conference championships and nearly going to the Super Bowl. They deserve to be recognized for that. Although, not near as much as the defense.
Defense and the wins that come with it have never been a luxury of which Palmer was afforded. His career record is 50-56, due in large part to the fact that during his eight seasons in the NFL, his team only once had a defense ranked among the top 16 (2009, went 10-6). Outside of that one season, his team has had an average defensive rank of 23, which has led to many uphill battles and a lot of desperation moments for Palmer over the years. Interceptions are a byproduct of that desperation.
Just so you know, all the lists also have Palmer’s replacement in Cincinnati, Andy Dalton, ranked ahead of him. Dalton enjoyed a resurgent Bengals defense last season which ranked ninth in the league. Dalton led them to a 9-7 record with a not-so-great QB rating of 80.4.
To best judge Palmer based upon statistics, you must stick to the five seasons in which he played in all 16 games. He has been in the NFL for eight seasons but three of them were partial seasons– one was his rookie season and another was last season.
In those five seasons he averaged 3813 passing yards, 27 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. He also had a completion percentage of 63 and an 89.5 quarterback rating. His win/loss record improves here too to an even 40-40 record over that time.
Those numbers are pretty impressive. The 89.5 quarterback rating and 63% passing puts him squarely among the 10-15 ranking range. His 27 passing touchdown average is a number that Jay Cutler, Michael Vick, Joe Flacco, Mark Sanchez, and Josh Freeman have never surpassed. And of this group, only Jay Cutler has surpassed Palmer’s 3813 average– once.
So, yeah, the analysts as a whole may just be underestimating the level of quarterback Carson Palmer is and will be. At this point, he should be considered a second tier, above average quarterback, but instead he is currently rated just slightly above terrible.
I don’t think there is any way Palmer plays down to the level of those who would judge him from an outsider’s perspective. He has a renewed passion for football in an offense that will not be relying heavily on this arm as well as an improved defense.
With the new offense, his passing numbers won’t be as gaudy because the team will focus on the run. This will have his interceptions down and his completion percentage go up.
An improved defense, solid run game, and more efficient quarterback play is what generates wins. So while rankings in June are just about meaningless, the ones in January will mean a lot more. That is where I expect to see Palmer right around the 10-15 range.

John Clayton’s 2011 QB rankings
33. Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals
Analysis: Carson Palmer gave his heart, soul and body to make the Bengals a winning franchise. After two playoff losses and years of enduring frustration, Palmer gave up. Now it’s Dalton’s turn to try to do the same with a smaller body and not as strong an arm.

June 27th, 2012 at 4:24 pm
Palmer has the ability and capability to be a top QB in the NFL….
The thing is….he hasn’t been allowed to run the show the way other QB’s have….
He needs to realize that he is smarter than our coaching staff….simply because he is the player who gets to know all the unknown variables that exist just prior to the snap.
Carson has the mental ability to be great…it just comes down to installing a system which will allow him to take advantage of it….
The question is….do the Raider coaching realize this?

2012 Oakland Raiders Schedule and Intangibles:
Continuity is key in the NFL. Think about which teams have been most successful over the years. The Patriots, Steelers, Eagles, Giants, among others have consistently made the playoffs because they’ve kept the same coaching staffs for a long time. The Raiders, meanwhile, seem to switch coaches every single year. They’ve had Bill Callahan, Norv Turner, Art Shell, Lane Kiffin, Tom Cable, Hue Jackson and now Dennis Allen patrolling the sidelines since 2003. That’s ridiculous. It’s unclear why Jackson was let go, but the front office needs to learn to make up its mind when it comes to maintaining a coaching staff.
Speaking of coaches, it seems like none of those men have been able to do anything about Oakland’s penalty problem. Calling it a “problem” is a bit of an understatement. The Raiders committed 283 infractions in 2011, which led the NFL by a wide margin. Consider how the other AFC West squads performed in comparison. The Chiefs had 218 penalties. The Broncos were guilty of 200, while the Chargers were whistled for only 183. Penalties cost the Raiders several wins last season. Allen must fix this issue. If he doesn’t, his team has no chance of making the playoffs.
The Black Hole seems like an intimidating place to play, but the Raiders are a sub-.500 team (63-73) as hosts since 1995. They were 3-5 at home last year, with four of the defeats being by double digits.
Sebastian Janikowski signed a 4-year, $16 million contract two offseasons ago and definitely lived up to it, hitting 31-of-35 attempts in 2011, including 7-of-10 from 50-plus.
Though former teammate Terdell Sands punched him in the face, Shane Lechler is the best punter in the NFL. He averaged an unbelievable 50.8 yards per kick, which is even more impressive because it includes 27-of-78 punts inside the opponents’ 20.
Jacoby Ford was banged up last year, so he didn’t contribute as much as the Raiders wanted him to on special teams. He did manage to return a kickoff for six though. Unfortunately, Oakland surrendered three special-teams scores.
The Raiders have a chance to start 2-0. They host the Chargers on Monday Night Football and then travel to Miami six days later. It gets tough after that though. Four of the next five opponents are the Steelers (home), Broncos (road), Falcons (road) and Chiefs (road). Oakland could be out of it if it doesn’t take advantage of its winnable games.
June 27th, 2012 at 5:14 pm
Palmer may not be perfect in all ways but when was the last time the Raiders had a QB who goes three hundred plus yards almost all the time and 400 now and then. He is capable of putting the team on his back and leading us to wins.
Im a Palmerhead
whats your excuse
June 27th, 2012 at 5:20 pm
2012 Oakland Raiders Analysis: The Raiders have lost too much personnel, both in the front office and on the field, to contend for the divisional crown in 2012. In fact, they could have one of the worst records in the league if Carson Palmer regresses and Darren McFadden spends most of the year on the sidelines.
The future is much more important for the Raiders than the present. For Oakland to make the playoffs for the first time since 2002, it’ll have to rebuild wisely and maintain some continuity. Thus, unless he proves himself to be completely inept, Dennis Allen should be given a chance even if he has two consecutive bad seasons. The Raiders need stability more than anything.
June 27th, 2012 at 5:26 pm
Glad the talking heads expect crap from this year’s Raiders.
June 27th, 2012 at 5:26 pm
It has occured to me that when u look at MLB’s who are really good-great you kind of know it right away.
You can have effective MLB’s and ones who get better over time but it seems they all have a certain something that is evident by almost everybody early on.
People saw it with Ray Lewis, Urlacher, and Patrick Willis right away…we don’t see it with Rolando McClain. He doesn’t have ….”IT”.
Can he get better? Of course…but i think if we are gonna see greatness…we should have already seen a little evidence of it.
Hopefully he can better…
We can’t blame everything on Al Davis’s outdated schemes.
June 27th, 2012 at 5:31 pm
McClain is too slow and gets negated too easy to have greatness in him. Best we can hope for us solid or above average, which is still possible.

…or maybe he’ll turn out to be one of the rare ones who all of a sudden the switch turns on…doubtful but like u said…above average-solid? I can see it.
No matter how outdated Al’s schemes were they never negated an individuals ability to shine and make plays. In fact one could say the whole “man against man” foundation of defensive theory actually encouraged greatness to emerge.
I’ve heard some use it as an excuse to defer player responsibility by saying “well how can u expect anyone to succeed under Al’s antiquated system”?
One might respond to that by asking “So Ray Lewis and Urlacher would not have succeeded with Al’s defense”?
June 27th, 2012 at 5:49 pm
How can we possibly be 29th after last year? We lost Routt (bum – wont miss the penalties and TDs), Wimbley, and Bush. Wimbley and a backup RB averaging less than 4 ypc that big a loss? Not buying it…
Throw in the fact that Palmer and DMAC will play together, which we didn’t get to see last year. I call BS.

…but read the reasons they are basing it on. I saw where they were saying it’s cuz we lost so many defensive guys and they joked about us changing coaches every year. Didn’t they say “Is Art Shell still the coach”? Huhhuhhuh…sooooo funny those guys.

Agree DJ. If anything, his basic scheme exposed players lacking in talent. See MeAngelo Hall. Which also meant it often required A LOT of talent in order to succeed.

#20 Oakland Raiders
Key Additions: Mike Brisiel, Shawntae Spencer, Ron Bartell, Matt Leinart
Key Losses: Michael Bush, Kamerion Wimbley, Samson Satele, Rock Cartwright
Oh, that AFC West, so hard to handicap. Neither of the four teams is a bottom-feeder, neither (seemingly) a Super Bowl threat.
But as tight as that division should be, the Raiders seem to be the one with the least promising 2012. And not just because they are the only one employing a brand-new, first-time head coach.
Carson Palmer struggled mightily down the stretch, Darren McFadden has been unable to stay healthy, and they lost any established backup running game plan when Michael Bush left town for Chicago. And even if he wasn’t a Pro Bowler, Samson Satele, who signed with the Colts, was a five-year starter on an offense that relied heavily on the run.
The addition of Mike Brisiel and the collection of extremely fast, young wide receivers does suggest the Raiders have the ability to put up points. Protecting any lead they may gain, however, will be the greatest question mark.
Kamerion Wimbley and Stanford Routt were quality starters who they cut, leaving even greater holes on a defense that was equally porous against both the run (27th in the NFL) and the pass (27th). Dennis Allen may try to install the same kind of scheme that was so successful last season in Denver, but other than Richard Seymour, he does not have the front four personnel or a Champ Bailey in the secondary.
Bleacher Report, shhs
June 27th, 2012 at 6:22 pm
“Carson Palmer struggled mightily down the stretch”.
He did? Down the stretch he was clutch in the hostile environs of Arrowhead with a long lazer pass to DHB in OT for a dramatic OT victory. Then…to cap off the season he throws for 417 yds. and a pair of TD’s against SD in a loss that was far from his fault. That’s “struggling mightily down the stretch”? Please.
But if Palmer’s “struggles” are indeed one of the reasons the Raiders will be bad in 2012, why do they admittedly add:
“Raiders have the ability to put up points”.?
Ok Bleacher Report…which is it?
June 27th, 2012 at 6:32 pm
Well, when the Raider were good, they had HOF’s all over the field.
June 27th, 2012 at 6:41 pm
It’s no conspiracy for media outlets to pick on the the Raiders, but it’ kinda weird when all we’ve been hearing for yrs. is how ‘When Al dies the Raider will finally move forward’.
Al is gone, and now a team that was already a defensive stop away from winning the division is left to the management of a new regime that is NOT Al Davis…and yet everyone says we are basically garbage and worse off than we we were with Al for the last two yrs.
I’m not saying it is, but does this have anything to do with the person who takes over for Al?
Apparently the whole world is not as enamored with Reggie McKenzie as Mark Davis and most of us are.
Reggie is not taking over an expansion team that went 3-13 the past two yrs. He’s taking over a club that is actually in the upper half of the league in terms of regular season wins over that time period and is NOT old or on their last legs…THIS is a relatively young team.
I’m starting to wonder whether something else is hidden a little bit under the surface in regard to the esteem of Reggie McKenzie around the league.
June 27th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
Dont forget how terrible the pundits said we would be last year after losing Aso, Miller and Gallery
June 27th, 2012 at 6:49 pm
Reggie comes with the blessings of Ron Wolf and John Madden, beloved by the NFL…..losses of Whimbley, Routt, and no certain backups there. Mike Bush if Dmac goes down, and a rookie Head Coach?
There also seems to be a lot of doubt in Palmer around the league……..

It’s no conspiracy for media outlets to pick on the the Raiders, but it’ kinda weird when all we’ve been hearing for yrs. is how ‘When Al dies the Raider will finally move forward’.
Al is gone, and now a team that was already a defensive stop away from winning the division is left to the management of a new regime that is NOT Al Davis…and yet everyone says we are basically garbage and worse off than we we were with Al for the last two yrs.
I’m not saying it is, but does this have anything to do with the person who takes over for Al?

“Carson Palmer struggled mightily down the stretch”.
He did? Down the stretch he was clutch in the hostile environs of Arrowhead with a long lazer pass to DHB in OT for a dramatic OT victory. Then…to cap off the season he throws for 417 yds. and a pair of TD’s against SD in a loss that was far from his fault. That’s “struggling mightily down the stretch”? Please.
But if Palmer’s “struggles” are indeed one of the reasons the Raiders will be bad in 2012, why do they admittedly add:
“Raiders have the ability to put up points”.?
Ok Bleacher Report…which is it?

Remember one thing: the difference between good and great is the will to win. With Reggie his will to win is paramount to all else. In his later years AD had the will to win, but not the means: he operated in the throes of dementia and was a wasted shell of himself. Now we have a GM and HC who will do anything to win, and who have the means to do it.
Remember a substantial part of the Raiders’ woes the past 12 yrs were caused by bad staff hirings, the subjects of which didn’t know how professional football was currently played, including AD. This caused a cascading effect making us the laughing stock of the league.
That is gone now; ultimate victory is close. We’ll be back in the playoffs soon then into the Superbowl.
June 27th, 2012 at 7:24 pm
A wasted shell of himself is a bit harsh.
Ultimate victory? Let’s start by not leading the history of the NFL in penalties…
June 27th, 2012 at 7:26 pm
And the difference between good and great is not the will to WIN…
It is the WILL to prepare to win…that has to come first.
June 27th, 2012 at 7:31 pm
When was the last time the Raiders had a dominant MLB? Could it be the defensive scheme?
I’ve read where Ray Lewis demands to be covered by a Nose Tackle, to keep O-lineman off of him.
The Raider front 4 has always been all pass rush.
Let’s see McClain play in this new defense.
June 27th, 2012 at 7:33 pm
Some might rightfully say “But Reggie was given Al’s team and it’ll take awhile to build it up. Give Reggie time to fix things”. Again, this IS NOT an expansion team. This was a team a stop away from the division…probably beating a beat up Pitt. team at home and playing a prime time 2nd rd. game at N.E…which we would’ve lot…maybe big but the point is this was/is a team on the rise imo….and basically young.
To me, these analysts are not giving Reggie any respect. Reggie was the one who failed to re-sign those “quality starters” Routt and Wimbley. He could’ve got those done if he really wanted to, so when they blast the Raiders for losing those guys they’re blasting Reggie…HE was the one who didn’t re-sign them.
I believe Reggie made the right moves NOT keeping them, i;m just saying…
Yes. Reggie comes with the blessings of Ron Wolf and Madden…that means alot to ME and many others here but apparently doesn’t mean much to the others.
June 27th, 2012 at 7:47 pm
Why the need to share the opinions (blessings) of others on the matter DJ Johnny….isn’t your view of the situation strong enough on its own?
The future will hold the answer to your question.
Here are some words I live by:
“In any conversation, argument, or debate….the need to reference another viewpoint only serves to weaken your opinion”
June 27th, 2012 at 7:49 pm
Guys could just as easily say:
With simply just below average defensive play the Raiders would have easily won the Afc West in 2011.
Carson Palmer came on strong the final two games and will only get better with a full off season to work with a potentially potent offense. With a solid o-line and their best player Darren McFadden back from his foot injury, as well as a solid young core of receivers, the Raiders are poised a strong offensive force.
Defensively, a porous defense will be improved with the addition of a defensive minded HC in Dennis Allen and less predictible schemes the defense would be hard pressed to do any worse than in 2011.
Without the meddling of long time owner Al Davis in the day to day minutae of the team, the Raiders are poised to be a serious threat in the AFC.

June 27th, 2012 at 7:56 pm
Our only weakness at this point IMO is at the corner positions.
I’m not sold on anyone besides Bartell at this point….and this is a huge mistake IMO….
With the QBs we have in our division and the increased number of times we will have nickle and dime DB’s on the field….looking at our roster….we are in trouble!
June 27th, 2012 at 7:58 pm
1361,
Backstage, I don’t have a problem with the analysts and their predictions necessarily, it does bug me when these analysts are mailing it in when it comes to their breakdowns.
Maybe it comes from being part of the media myself that it bugs me even more…the failure of these diks to any real analysis of some teams…in this case the Raiders.
As a Raider fan of many yrs. i am very used to the criticism and unfair analysis…sometimes it’s warranted. The last 9 yrs. it cetainly has been.
Maybe it’s the way that they present it..in their smarmy, “know it all but they really don’t” style.
I’m still waiting for some REAL analysis.
I realize I sound overly sensitive, but i’m cool with and used to the bashing…i would prefer it be based on some real work being done by these nerds.
June 27th, 2012 at 8:05 pm
Fair enough….I get what you are saying…but if you allow it to bug you then part of you must agree to some extent with their projections.
The media’s job is simply to create an EMOTIONAL response and little more….I wouldn’t let it bother you.
I usually am more concerned with WHY they share their views on certain subjects then with what they are actually saying….
They know that the Raider Nation is emotional and is in need of a winner…and are just playing with their emotions…
The truth of the matter is, the media and the NFL knows this organization is a SLEEPING GIANT….and that when WE wake up….are going to wreck shop!
June 27th, 2012 at 8:09 pm
I think the NFL would love to see the Raiders return to the top tiers.

I know.
This is one of those things where I hope Reggie knows what he’s doing.
Reggie was in GB last yr. when his GB secondary gave up most yards in NFL HISTORY.
That wouldn’t be his “strategy” would it? After all they finished 15-1 despite that fact.
I think GB led league in forcing turnovers though…i’m not sure; i know they forced alot of them.
June 27th, 2012 at 8:14 pm
GB’s defense has the luxury of having a great Offense on their team and was usually ahead in games creating huge opportunities for their defense….
Reggie may not have been able to make too many moves for our secondary through free agency…but he did have an opportunity to get someone in the draft….and he did not.
The kid I liked got picked by Carolina…and from what I’ve read…is tearing it up so far against Steve Smith….it’s only OTA’s, so that doesn’t mean too much..but at this point….I wish we had him….
June 27th, 2012 at 8:15 pm
Backstage,
Yes. I’ll own up to it. I think it’s more me being worried there is the possibility it turns out as they say.
I do not have the cocky confidence of my own analysis becuz I know it’s partly based on what I WANT to happen and the fact i’ve thought Raiders would do very well and did not.
I never thought Al would let them be as bad as they were for as long as they were.
I still maintain that most of these hacks have not put in the proper work. Lol.
June 27th, 2012 at 8:22 pm
They haven’t put in work….and why should they? They are not held accountable to their opinions. They have a 50-50 chance of being right every time….
The thing about AL is that his INTENTION was genuine…I could care little about his recent results….
He cared about his team….his creation…he guarded it from the corporate thieves…
I for one appreciate the effort…..because his INTENTION was there….just didn’t trust anyone but himself to make the decisions….I can relate with that!
June 27th, 2012 at 8:25 pm
AL was the Howard Roark of our time….
It was his team to do with as he pleased….
If this organization was ran any other way….it wouldn’t be THE RAIDERS….the best DAM organization in Professional Sports…

June 27th, 2012 at 8:39 pm
His intention was to WIN…the only way he knew how. The thing is, the game has changed and he didn’t….and thank God that he didn’t…
Results are not everything in sports. They might be everything in business, but not sports.
Have you participated in sports?
Have you felt the pride that comes from being part of a team?
What is important is the SPORT itself..and Mr. Davis protected it better than anyone…
June 27th, 2012 at 8:39 pm
I agree that Al’s intentions were genuine…no doubt about it. I also agree that Al was the one who created the brand, team…the whole Raider “thing” that I became such a rabid fan of.
He made some bad decisions; especially those final years imo. I think he should’ve trusted a GM…hand picked by the Grand Master himself to run things on the day to day.
IMO he did not change enough with the times…held stubbornly to outdated philosophies that what worked in the past would still work well in an evolving league.
That being said, he might have been a weird uncle in the guest room to alot of people, but he was MY weird uncle and any reasonable person cannot disparage what he meant to the league or the accomplshments he had.

The needs of the team can only be met one player at a time.
The team is not paid as a whole, but by singular interactions with ONE.
June 27th, 2012 at 9:33 pm

The EGO is something to be used…not to be used by…

June 27th, 2012 at 9:39 pm
Koolkell, you and I agree much more than we disagree….and have much in common….but we ALL like to disagree here on the BLOGs as a way of distinguishing ourselves and appeasing our EGOs…..mainly out of the mind and its need to interact in order to learn more about itself…
We are ALL one…and in order to take care of the whole….or the TEAM as you put it….we must take care of the ONE…

I have seen it time and again; there are certain people within organizations whose character,
perspicacity, and ambition – the will to win – binds the organization together, moves it forward to reach its ultimate goal. Without this individual, the organization is lost.
One might say it’s the power of soul with which anything is possible. This was the power of AD, unquenchable and unstoppable, in his early and middle years.
As an elderly man broken physically, and for the most, part mentally, the torch must be passed.
Leaders are never made. Any “leader” I have ever met can do the job when others can’t. A leader sees things the others can’t. Mainly a leader possesses common sense, seeing things others can’t, and so he does those things others can’t do. The result of this is commonly known as “success.” This quality combined with the will to win at all costs produces championships.
Because AD never passed the torch, and soon there were few Raider staff or players who knew how to play NFL calibre football, of course the Raiders fell to the lowest of the low.
What I see in Reggie is overriding common sense, and the ability to see the obvious – what others can’t see.
If he has the overarching drive and ambition, we will win.

Palmer has the ability and capability to be a top QB in the NFL….
********
He is 33? Come on the top qb days sailed him long ago….solid would be cool tho
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Bullsh£t!
How is a quarterback over-the-hill because of age necessarily?
Tom Brady is 37! He does fair to middling.
Palmer is younger than Rich Gannon when he first came to the Raider.
Palmer was put in a game after being here for all of three games by Hue Nails Jackson last year with the inevitable consequence of interceptions.
On top of that he arrived directly from his couch and a bag of Doritos where he’d been retired and had no real familiarity with the playbook.
You can’t tell how he’ll do this year because we’re re-building yet again with a new head coach and a new system that doesn’t really suit Palmer’s talents.
Palmer is still the best quarterback we’ve had since Gannon.
Take a look at that list of quarterbacks between Gannon and Palmer–
Tuiasosopo/Collins/Brooks/Walter/McCown/Culpepper/Russe
ll/Gradowski/Frye/Campbell/Boller
–and you’ll appreciate Palmer a little more.

DHB’s lawyer sees procedural problems with DUI arrest
Posted by Mike Florio on June 28, 2012, 7:19 AM EDT
The case against Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey continues to work its way through the California court system. And his lawyer thinks that there may be a way to avoid a conviction.
Arrested for DUI on April 7, Heyward-Bey was arraigned on May 31. Now, a pre-trial conference will be conducted.
The fourth-year receiver wasn’t required to attend the arraignment. He has been ordered by Judge Donna Little to appear in court on Thursday.
According to the Bay City News Service, lawyer Ivan Golde believes that there could be procedural issues with the traffic stop and eventual arrest, which came after a pair of breath tests should DHB’s blood-alcohol content at 0.12 percent and 0.13 percent. (The legal limit is 0.08 percent.)
“After investigating all the procedures and all the chain of events it appears not everything was done according to the rule of law, and there may be some questions that need to go before a jury,” Golde said.
That’s a common approach in DUI cases. With a laundry list of technical requirements, lawyers for persons accused of drunk driving have plenty of potential questions to raise.
It doesn’t mean the defendant wasn’t driving drunk. It means that the defendant may get away with doing so, thanks to mistakes made by the arresting officer.
June 28th, 2012 at 6:12 am
LOL, King Darrius! Procedural stops for someone that blew a .13? Wow!

What is the Cedric Benson delay?
June, 28, 2012
By Bill Williamson | ESPN.com
A lot of Oakland Raiders’ fans ask me what is going on with the team’s pursuit of free-agent running back Cedric Benson.
BensonBuckle in, it could take some time. There are no indications his signing with any team is imminent. Benson has been available since free agency began in March, and there has been no market for him despite his experience and success.
Last week, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Raiders were among the teams that have been monitoring and showing the most interest in Benson.
Oakland’s potential pursuit makes sense. Starter Darren McFadden has had durability issues and he’s coming off a season in which he missed the final nine games with a foot injury. Oakland’s current backup running backs Mike Goodson and Taiwan Jones are unproven.
There is likely a place for Benson with the Raiders, but Oakland has salary cap and money issues and it has two draft picks to sign. So, Oakland may have it do some maneuvering to sign Benson, and that could take time.
There is a risk involved. While the market has been slow for Benson, interest could pick up during training camp time. So, while the Raiders’ interest in Benson continues, there are no guarantees he’ll end up wearing silver and black.
June 28th, 2012 at 6:46 am
Burris has a rare skill. His Senior highlights are 10 minutes long. He puts a target lock on the football pre-snap. Then he flies like a missle shedding blocks with relative ease. He seems to always take the right angles, and he’s got a motor for DAYYYYS. People wanna knock him for the conference he comes from, but remember, Urlacher came from New Mexico state, as well as Zack Thomas I beleive.
June 28th, 2012 at 6:46 am
Also, there is this old man at church that lost both his legs in the war. good friend of my wife’s grandparents. we’ve played cards together for years. He saw me wearing a Raiders shirt one day and asked if I was a fan. I said yes and his wife was p1ssed (hardcore KC fan, naturally). Anyways, he told me that he actually met Al Davis a long time ago. back when he was an asst coach at Adelphi !!
said he was a confident (almost cocky) fiery guy with a lot of energy & passion. remembers the slick black hair & Brooklyn accent
small world, eh?

I’d love a surprise roster fill to be a capable veteran TE like Shiancoe or Scaife.
June 28th, 2012 at 7:28 am
I think the only “surprise” roster cuts will be rookies.
undrafted guys who have been shining in OTA’s or late round draft picks by Reggie.
Bergstrom, Burris & Criner are probably locks.
I don’t think Crawford, Bilukidi & Stupar are assured of anything. gonna have to earn it
Also, even though Streater has been a beast … we hear about these guys all the time that fail to make the 53 & land on the practice squad
June 28th, 2012 at 7:29 am
Another surprise cut is Goethal.
June 28th, 2012 at 7:33 am
Streater = lock, sorry RRS
Steater is “beasting”
Agreed that Crawford, Bilukidi and Stupar are going to have to earn it, but the incumbent crew is nothing special and they have the inside track of being “Reggie’s” picks. That counts for something.
Besides, if you read Reggie’s transcript, he says as much about the new guys and rooks stepping up and into some slots this year.
Personally, I think all the draft picks make it, and some mainstays like Goethal get cut.
June 28th, 2012 at 7:33 am
Can I suggest Curry as a surprise cut?

I could see Ivey sticking as our 3-4 Nose. I got a wierd feeling about Streeter too; he could be the one that gives Murphy the bump.
June 28th, 2012 at 7:44 am
everybody seems to be penciling in Myers, Gordon & Ausberry as the 3 TE’s to make the 53 man roster.
one of them could easily be a “surprise” cut if Kyle Efaw or Tory Humphrey step it up in training camp & preseason!
Again, i’m not even convinced we’ll keep 3 TE’s
utility player Reece can line up there if we ever need him to
June 28th, 2012 at 7:45 am
I wouldnt be surprized by any cut to that sad defense..
June 28th, 2012 at 7:45 am
stiff competition for Rod Streater to be #6 WR during training camp & preseason.
***********
First, who are your top 5? (and yes we most def need to keep 6 WRs)
My WR crew:
Bey
Moore
Ford
Criner
Streater
McGee or Calhoun, (Murphy if he can return healthy to training camp and show up on ST’s)
June 28th, 2012 at 7:46 am
Curry WOULD be a surprise. He’d have to be outshined by Burris, Wheeler, Stupar for that to happen I think.
June 28th, 2012 at 7:46 am
I don’t see Ivey sticking on the roster. He’s PS eligible right? He brings nothing that D. Bryant doesn’t offer, and to keep an extra DL, have to sacrifice another position.
June 28th, 2012 at 7:47 am
Christo Bilukidi has to beat out Ivey, Cumbie & Hamilton
Jack Crawford has to beat out Brodine, Davis & Dorsey

if we keep a 6th, it’ll be a battle between the rest of those guys (comment 1425). Streater stole the show in OTA’s. Doesn’t mean he will do the same in camp & preseason

I think by process of elimination you have to pencil in those 3. But it’s not anything anyone feels good about. We all want Ausberry and his bulked up frame and top speed to grab the position, but he has to block better to keep the field. In this ball control WCO, blocking TE’s are more important than catching TEs. Preferably we have the package in Ausberry, but if doesn’t show it in camp, its back to Myers and hope for the best.
June 28th, 2012 at 7:53 am
No matter what happens though, I DO beleive the scholorships ARE over. Whatever 53 men Reggie/DA choose, will be the best of the crop, and they’ll roll with what they got

We got an overload at FS and not so much at SS. Who is going to be Branch’s backup?
FS is Huff/Gio but at backup SS we got a battle with Taylor, Powell or Henry. Any way you look at it, MM34 has been consistently unhealthy and can’t show on the field. Time to move on bring in new blood.

Here’s some koolaid for Rockstar:
Source: ESPN
Gary Horton of Scouts Inc. listed Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey as the #7 breakout player in the AFC: “Until last season, he looked like an NFL bust, with vertical speed as his only real attribute. However, he made an impressive turnaround with 64 catches for 975 yards and four TDs, and now he looks like a different player. While playing outside is still his strength, he showed a toughness that we had never seen before, he caught the ball in traffic and his consistency at holding on to the ball dramatically improved.”

Q: I think Branch needs to make more plays to be considered a top safety in the NFL. Can I get some forced fumbles, INT’s , passes defensed & tackles for a loss? or do we pay top dollar for 100+ tackle seasons like Gibril Wilson ???
A: Agreed. Ouch, don’t mention Gibril Wilson in these parts.

Michael Griffin (Titans) who also received the franchise tag this offseason and was just rewarded with a 5-year $35 million contract ** that Branch wants to match ** had 6 forced fumbles, 14 INT’s & 37 passes defensed in his last 4 years with Tennessee

Reagan and Judge Rehnquist wiped their ass with the constitution and did away with our 4th amendment rights all in the name of the war on drugs. It used to be that your property was yours and law enforcement needed a warrant to search your private property not any more thanks to those 2 losers.

“caught” without insurance? I work for the largest hospital chain in Missouri and some folks simply elect to go self pay. others that don’t have it can apply for a grant. We have a sign in the urgent care that states we’re not allowed to turn you away if you don’t have insurance and [by law] we have to treat you the same as everybody else. My brother-n-law is self employed and the only reason they signed up for insurance was because my sis got pregnant and it was cheaper for them to have it versus paying out of pocket for everything. Before that they had nothing. there is no penalty for not having health insurance, in Missouri anyway. it’s up the the health care facility what forms of payment are acceptable.

False!
hospital is losing money big time. Medicare & Medicaid (Medi-cal in CA) are slashing reimbursement like crazy and half the time it doesn’t even cover the cost of our drugs & supplies. We end up treating the patients anyway and losing money in the process. We can’t fault the patients for having a crappy pay source. We’re taking care of them because nobody else will and we’re going friggin bankrupt, having to cut down employees. increase the cost of our insurance, retirement, etc
insurance = crooks. they give you a Prior Authorization for treatment, you provide the service, then they deny it as not medically necessary. you reviewed the medical records and the patient’s policy before we even freaking treated Mr. Smith. Even gave us this nice letter that says it’ll be covered at 100%. you’d be amazed the stories I hear in the beancounters office!!

I worked in the soup kitchen this past weekend and saw Shane Lechler and his family lined up. He smelled bad, looked like he hadn’t showered in weeks. Was showing some of the other homeless guys how far he could kick a trash can
thought you might like an update, since you kicked him to the curb. I tried to lift his spirits, showing him a picture of Terdell Sands cleaning restrooms in the mall. didn’t even crack a smile

Dakota, Mitt Romney is an unappealing candidate who just got less appealing today. Did you see him speak today? He gave his November concession speech for crying out loud. Looking like he wanted to cry, vowing to “fight on”. lol. That’s what every election loser says.

Reality call and he wants to talk to you!
McClain called the Pats a “finesse” team in an interview a few days prior to this game.
Pats then promptly rushed for 185 yards & 2 TD’s on 28 carries.
Brady hit Welker 9 times for 158 yards and another score.
Rob Gronkowski wasn’t even needed. they could have lined up 42 year old Ben Coates out there and got the same result

Gotta love Slowlando calling them a finesse team and then getting his fat ax run over…typical Slowlando.

Do the police throw a million dollars to a mad gunman because he demands it?

Al Davis’ scheme had nothing to do with Tyvon Branch lining up with the best TE in the NFL, who’s QB threw to him succesfully no matter what all year long, and shutting him down. Period.
***
Ok, DAV. yesterday you blamed the Al Davis defense. Today you don’t. Lets review the past 4 years of Tyvon Branch. You tell us which games to blame on Al Davis and which ones not to. fair enough?
by the way, I know Branch had 4 tackles that Sunday against N.E. but he only had 1 pass defensed [stats courtesy of NFL.com] but how many times did Brady throw to Gronk? twice?
one ball he batted down, if we’re assuming he was covering Gronk on the play
the other a completion, when somebody else was covering him
that it?
if you can’t answer these questions and try to spin it again, i’m just going to assume you dont know what the heck you’re talking about and basing 100% of your opinion off of that PFF article written by Branch’s agent

Everything works together really. You could make the case that with better D-line pressure, our DB’s wouldn’t have to chase receivers all over the damn field with their backs to the QB. Not to mention stopping the run would have made teams 1 dimentional and made opposing QB’s force more throws. It’s all a viscious circle that could make everyone look great, or like a giant TURD.

Blamed the Al Davis defense?
Yet fail to mention why I blamed it?.. Nice touch.
It failed because we didnt have the personnel/coaches to run it.
Passes defended are like INT’s they mean you werent covering him good enough that the QB couldnt even attempt a pass.
Thats FOOTBALL 101 for you junior.
If you actually read the article it talks about Branch taking Gronk out of the game, he wasnt an option.

DJ’s are the lowly talent less scrubs residing in the underbelly of the music world.
They have nothing to offer as they are merely button pushers and care takers of old vinyl records.
A nutless baby monkey could do what they do.
Sure if you a 15 year old doing X for the first time the pounding beats feel good and the glow sticks look cool.
But other than that DJ’s serve no purpose other than to be button pushers.
A DJ who thinks of himself as a musician is like a janitor who thinks he is an executive in the company.
Bottom feeders and simpletons if you ask me.
