I was watching tape of Miles Burris again and one thing I noticed that i didn’t the first time is how often guys that he hits..appear injured afterword.
He looks like he gives that extra “jolt” when he hits guys.
You see guys getting hit by him and then just lay there.
Hope he does that to Peyton Manning. Ha.

It appears Conroy Black has got raw potential.
Fast as heck.
Coaching will be huuuge for the young UDFA’s and those “raw” players.
Of course we’re not even sure he makes the final 53, but this kid is Al Davis style fast.

I’m trying to contain my enthusiasm, and I know it’s a highlight reel but you see the plays he made against Denard Robinson of Mich.?…or his relentlessness?
As I said, he seems to kind of lunge with a final punishing “force” right on contact.
And the blitzing you mentioned.

I’m trying to not get too excited about the rookies or UDFA’s. Last year my MUP pick was Stevie Brown and then he was released. Then I picked Jerome Boyd and he was a flop.
I don’t want to jinx anyone this year but Burris looks like a fkn stud in those Youtube highlights.

Mr Green
is NOT Masterbater/MR. I trust you were not referring that comment to the happy nature of Mr Green 
, as we do not talk filth (that is rampant in here) nor do we engage in the cat fights and name calling that pretty much rules the day in here. Mr Green 
and all his friends are happy good natured people who can’t wait for Raidah football to begin and once that happens, we are making plans to head on out to Nawleens. Mr Green 
is good everyday people.

Ryan Grant sucks!
he only had 2 TD’s in 14 games last year and they both against Oakland [not a big accomplishment]
hasn’t rushed for over 100 yards in a game since like December of 2009. plus he overvalues himself, if he opted not to play for Detroit @ vet minimum this offseason

June 30th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
Notes:
The Jamaican also lettered in track as a Florida prep. Headed to Fullerton (Calif.) College for two years, where he was the team captain in 2008 and posted 20 tackles, one pass breakup and one interception with one tackle for loss and a blocked kick in eight games. Was an all-conference selection in track after running the 100 meters in 10.3 seconds and was clocked at 20.98 seconds in the 200 meters. Signed with Utah and redshirted in ’09. Was the primary nickel back in ’10 when he played all 13 games (one start) and registered 19-3-1 with one tackle for loss and one sack. Started 12-of-13 games played in ‘11 and logged 39-4-4 in ‘11. Had a 67-yard interception return for a score against UCLA.
Summary:
A raw, developmental man-cover corner, Black looks the part with a lean, athletic build and long arms combined with big-time track speed (has run the 100 meters in 10.3 seconds). Is relatively inexperienced and positional instincts and playmaking ability do not run parallel with his athletic ability, but has moldable tools and upside. Needs to get stronger.

After a hard day of selling three brand spanking new vehicles a man’s gotta unwind a little – a little green bud, a little UFO crankin’on Rhapsody, some Hanger 24 Chocolate Porter. Aaaah! Good stuff!
The hoe’s wanted to hang but I had to say no. Like all good prize fighters gotta have that discipline to say no right before a big fight. Gotta rest up for tomorrow. I gotta big day.
Drop one shiny piece of hardware and the bone is half a geezie. Two? seven-fitty.

I played “Lights out” today.
It was a request.
They’re on tour in Europe right now..just wrapped up a stint on the ‘Monsters of Rock’ Cruise.

Barring any last minute Cedric Benson signing, the Raiders kind of are what they are with who they’ve got.
I’m still mad about the defense bending over and taking it up the keyster like they did against SD.
Just ONE DAMN STOP when SD was back on their half yd. line and Palmer engineers a final TD drive on a short field and we’re talking about how we lost a close one to New England in the 2nd rd.
It irritates me to even see Seymour smiling in the interview he did on Raiders.com and acting cocky with that host.
Somebody…ANYBODY..needed to step up and say “Not today beyotches”..”Not in our house with the division on the line”.
But no. Instead they let Mike freaking Tolbert run for 42 yds. and Rivers do whatever the he!! he wanted.
I’m still smarting over all that and it worries me that most of the guys that were responsible are still gonna be there this yr.
Maybe i’ll get over it someday…like when they finally figure out how to make a stop in clutch time.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:20 am
New guys like Bartell and Spencer and maybe even Burris will make things different I hope. And Schaughnessy of course. And the new DC and HC.
I do have hope.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:23 am
Got Jaco Pastorius going on Rhapsody to mello me out…an “ear massage” if you will.
I’m in the zone.

July 1st, 2012 at 12:28 am
People say “what do u expect Seymour to say? U expect him to cry about last yr. and shoot himself”?
No, but i wouldn’t mind hearing “What happened last yr. especially in that last game was inexcusable. That schytt will NOT happen again”.
Okay. Vent over.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:42 am
DJJ….dude, let’s move forward! Nothing about last year, or for that matter the last 50 years, makes any difference right now. I’m dying to see the Silver & Black hoist the Lombardi a couple two, three, fourr more times before I depart but we gotta be patient and be ready to go one step at a time.

The Dodgers are giving up a prime, ranked, pitching prospect in Gould just to get an overweight, 36-year-old hitter in Lee.
He’s hitting .287 now but wait til he gets to L.A.
The Gaylos are making the same mistake that the Giants did last year.

The Dodgers are desperate for a bat, being that I think they were outscored by Italy this week.
July 1st, 2012 at 6:46 am
This week Italy has scored two goals in one game and the Dodgers have scored 2 runs in 6 games, lol.

I don’t think you are getting it.
Sicily is a LOOOOOOONG ways away from the Italian countryside, and it don’t matter if it is Northern Africa or Sudan or the freaking Sahara desert, it is roughly the same geographic distance to Tuscany.
July 1st, 2012 at 9:48 am
raider o..
have admitted that all the time, but in greek and turkish, and I pointed out it would be rather stupid to NOT use names for a certain country in its native tongue or english..
if you insist to use the turkish way to write it, why dont you write everything in turkish?
and to use a spanish chant for a country with strong feelings against spain is kinda weird…
but of course you can make a paella in italy, but to call it an italian dish is kinda stretch..

It is pretty well known that Sicily is about as close to African desert areas, be it Northen African or whatever you call it, than it is to the heart of Italy.
And Northern Italy like Milan and stuff? Forget about it, Sudan is DEFINITELY closer.
July 1st, 2012 at 10:00 am

Romo as the 10th ranked QB is pretty fair and probably spot-on, IMO.
If it is too high, it is only by a few spots.
The 10th ranked QB is not even a Pro Bowl QB.

He can throw, he can run, and he has good pocket awareness.
July 1st, 2012 at 10:16 am
Romo is the most overrated QB besides Tebow..
He’ll never win a SB
July 1st, 2012 at 10:16 am
Romo has just fell apart in the postseason at times.
As far as a regular season QB, he was probably in the 6-8th range in all honesty.
July 1st, 2012 at 10:19 am
Tony Romo has the 2nd highest regular season QB rating IN NFL HISTORY.
NO matter how you slice that, it is pretty impressive.

A lot of guys won’t win the Super Bowl who are probably considered top 10 QB’s.
I don’t think you can be a top 5 QB and not have a ring, but the 8th,9th,10th, 11th..etc, QB’s probably ALL don’t have rings currently or possess much hope to win one in the future.

Sanchez isn’t even in the same planet as Romo.
Romo has won all kinds of games where he was the best player on the field that day. Probably 20-30 of them, including a playoff game.
Sanchez HAS NEVER been the best player on the field for even a half of football, better yet 20 something games.
July 1st, 2012 at 10:30 am
LMN,
What about Dan Marino? Was he overrated too?
Not trying to compare Romo to Marino, but making a point about winning a SB.
July 1st, 2012 at 10:32 am
I will give credit to Sanchez, in that he may have played his best ball in some of those playoff wins, but he is often the ball and chain for those Jets teams, for weeks on end.
July 1st, 2012 at 10:34 am
Wow!
Sanchez and Romo?
If the jets had Romo, I’m sure they would have a ring by now.

Post season preview I hope. SI predicted Cincy and SF to win their div, and meet in 2nd rd.
BSPN the Rag predicted both to finish 2nd and miss the playoffs. Both wildcards from the NL East. Go figure
Typical BSPN east coast bias. I don’t think they realize in Bristol that baseball is played west of the Bronx.

The Dodgers lineup these days makes the 2007 Pirates look like the ‘27 Yankee’s. They’ve scored 2 runs ALL WEEK!!!!

Bummer about Joey Votto getting “nicked” yesterday. I was suprised to see it was a knee issue, seemed like his back locked up on the swing before the injury.
I get the MLB extra innings package, and Joey Votto is one of those guys that you keep an eye on his game, just so you can tune in when he hits.
Not too many of those dudes in the league. Votto, Bryce Harper, Joey Bats (Bautista), Josh Hamilton, this Trout kid is in the mix now.

I would love to see some new blood in the playoffs like the Pirates and the Nats

I think you are right about the Giants not worrying about the Dodgers but the Dbacks might sneak up on the league like they did last year.
That dancing babe was smoking

Pirates are a damn good ball club that nobody is paying attention to. Can pitch, play defense, run, etc. Just a little light at the bottom of that lineup.
McCutcheon is a top 15 position player in the game, and if this Alvarez kid can start banging home runs like they expected when they drafted him #2 overall or whatever, they can really cause teams some fits.
July 1st, 2012 at 11:39 am
D’Backs are making a run, and we haven’t won a game in AZ in like our last 10 tries.
I can certainly see them passing the Dodgers here shortly.

Bummer about Joey Votto getting “nicked” yesterday. I was suprised to see it was a knee issue, seemed like his back locked up on the swing before the injury.

———————————————–
If Votto(matic) spends much time on the DL, it is game over for the good guys. He carries the Reds.
I’m with you guys, the Pirates are fun to watch…they’re a game back from the Reds, so I’ve been paying attention to them, and although I don’t root for them…I kinda like them. I can handle them winning way more than I can those whiny little b!tches in St. Louis.

The flopper goalie better hope Americans dont see him putting hairpins before the big match.

July 1st, 2012 at 11:48 am
Ohhh…..I’d definitely debate that Granderson thing with you.
Curtis is the benefactor of that short porch in Yankee stadium, and Andrew is CLEARLY a better defensive CF.
And Granderson is not even hitting .250 right now.
July 1st, 2012 at 11:49 am
LOL…..I saw that too Plunk.
YIKES!!!
July 1st, 2012 at 11:49 am
chavez just hit a 2 run hr to tie the yanks with the white sox. y isnt he with the a’s any more? i love it when he comes in the game for us. even if it means arod isnt goin to be in the line up. anyone know y he left or y the a’s got rid of him?
July 1st, 2012 at 11:52 am
Chago shoulder was supposedly shot and couldn’t throw anymore.
That was the rationale the A’s gave I believe, besides the fact they were paying him close to $10 million per and he couldn’t hit over .240
July 1st, 2012 at 11:53 am
Was that Eddie Vedder?
July 1st, 2012 at 11:55 am
good for us then i guess. i like him alot. seems like he gets alotta big hits when hes in the game and isnt bad in the field.
July 1st, 2012 at 11:55 am
Chavez is having a great year.
Probably will earn a few comeback POY votes.
July 1st, 2012 at 11:57 am
Andrew is CLEARLY a better defensive CF.
———————————————————
dont know how clear that is. i def. disagree with you 100 percent but thats just my opinion. i bet most ppl would agree with me tho. granderson drives in alotta runs, you can say its cuz of the stadium he is in but it is what it is. and it IS alotta runs
July 1st, 2012 at 11:58 am
The pirates are defenitely a team to watch. It started last year. They got off to a hot start, were in 1st place mid year and then faded badly down the stretch.
Another young team that needs to learn how to win.
For years that org traded away it’s “best” veteran players for prospects. Now those minor league prospects are arriving on the scene at the same time. Mixed in with some high draft picks and Pittsburgh’s going to be a team to reckon with for awhile.
At least until they have to start paying these guys.
July 1st, 2012 at 11:59 am
grandersons fielding percentage is even higher. just looked it up
July 1st, 2012 at 12:00 pm
McCutchen has more RBI’s right now, with a vastly inferior lineup around him.
Dude is almost hitting 100 point higher than Granderson!!!
July 1st, 2012 at 12:02 pm
I don’t think you will see Curtis win a gold glove in his career. Maybe 1, because he is solid defensively.
McCutchen will win at least 4 or 5 in his career.
My opinion, we will see what the scribes do.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:02 pm
right now he does. last yr he didnt or the yr b4 that or b4 that.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:04 pm
I like Granderson though, he is a good dude and solid all the way around.
Just those 40 home run seasons WOULD NEVER HAPPEN in any other stadium.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:05 pm
u know i didnt realize granderson hasnt won a gold glove yet.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:06 pm
cano just hit ANOTHER hr. dude is on fire. guess it wasnt just a june thing
July 1st, 2012 at 12:07 pm
Compare their first 4 years in RBI totals.
I believe Andrew has him beat.
But it is not an apples to oranges debate. Andrew hits 3rd or 4th and Curtis leads off a lot.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:09 pm
they are both good. i guess anyone could go either way. i just happen to prefer granderson. i also happen to be a yankees fan
July 1st, 2012 at 12:15 pm

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

Well there it is!!
Granderson could have won the MVP last year, IMO, but outside of big flies, he is struggling a little this year.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:17 pm
I HAVE been reading along, even though I haven’t been able to post in awhile.
Like a lot of posters I was kinda surprised and disapointed with Jaws’ ranking. Oh well. I thought Carson was pretty impressive for somebody fresh off his sofa with a new team, thrust into a starting role with no practice, etc.
I think this will just add to his motivation. Carson has a lot to prove. I look for a big year for him, working with Oakland’s exciting young WR’s.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s comeback POY. Especially if DMAC stays relatively healthy.
On that note…I would like to see the Raiders sign C Benson. Why Not?. DMac staying healthy is a BIG if.
Taiwon Jones, as exciting as his potential is…hasn’t proven anything. Least of all that he can stay healthy.
Not sure I want to put all of my eggs in Goodsons basket. He’s kind of an unkown commodity as well. He could be great and just stuck behind two other RB’s in Carolina. Who knows?
Let him compete against Benson in preseason. We need a quality backup.
Benson has run for over 1,000 yds 3 of last 4 years. In a division that includes Pitt and Baltimore.
Guy runs hard. Could be a nice compliment to McFadden and a proven backup, IMO.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:18 pm
he is struggling a little this year.
—————————————————
he still gets it done in the field, on the base paths, and puts up runs with the stick. if this is him struggling i cant wait to see him when he gets it going.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:18 pm
Told you O dog….Spain!
July 1st, 2012 at 12:20 pm
I think Goodson has more value for this team on special teams units, where supposedly he is pretty good.
Someone has to replace Rock Cartwright on those teams.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:23 pm
I am sure Granderson would admit he needs to hit better than .246.
That would be the 2nd worst total for his career.
Down year so far.
July 1st, 2012 at 12:26 pm
batting average isnt the best hes had but he is still getting it done at an all star caliber. i mean last yr he only hit 262 and he still finished what 3rd in the al mvp voting

No doubt, All-Star player

July 1st, 2012 at 1:50 pm
Next time somebody tries to give u crap about Carson Palmer being a “quitter” make sure u mention the multitude of guys who held out and refused to play due to not enuff money.
Guys like:
-Emmitt Smith (missed 1st two games of 95 season in contract dispute).
-Marshall Faulk…(refused to play for St. Louis for many games until they ponied up).
That’s two hall of famers right there and there are MANY, MANY others.
Which is worse? Palmer did not quit midseason on Bengals…he hung in there until season was over and it had NOTHING to do with $$$. He was willing to retire rather than continue to play for that org. but he gave them plenty of time to get their act together and find a replacement.
Anyway, just something to keep in mind.
July 1st, 2012 at 1:52 pm
…also, didn’t the great SB winning QB Eli Manning refuse to play for SD?
Is that correct?

====================================
Exactly. Anyone who calls Palmer a quitter is out of their mind. it’s actually Mike Brown who continually quits on his franchise in a multitude of ways. But if you have any doubts about Palmer, just put in the 2nd half of either the Green Bay game or the Miami Game and you see Palmer just getting his ass KICKED and he stays in and finishes. That’s Not the trait of a quitter in my mind.
July 1st, 2012 at 2:00 pm
Let’s not forget another Hall of Famer who gets nothing but praise by everyone who speaks his name.
“John Riggins was one of the biggest characters to ever play football and rarely one to take himself too seriously – except when he wanted to renegotiate his contract in 1980. Riggins was making $300,000 a year and was seeking a raise up to $500,000, but the Redskins refused to budge. In response, Riggins left training camp and the Redskins proceeded to put him on the left camp-retired list, making him ineligible to play for any other team.
Riggins sat out the entire season, spending it on his farm in Kansas. At the age of 31, everyone had assumed he was done for good, but one should never make assumptions about John Riggins.
In 1981, newly hired coach Joe Gibbs made his way up to Riggins’ farm to try to convince him to come back to the team. Riggins let Gibbs talk for a while before telling him, “You need to get me back there. I’ll make you famous.” Two months later Riggins showed up to camp, telling the media, “I’m bored, I’m broke, I’m back.”
I know I may be beating a dead horse but you don’t have to look to hard to find other so called “quitters” whose situation was much more “greedy” or selfish.
July 1st, 2012 at 2:09 pm
Spot on DJJ!
July 1st, 2012 at 2:10 pm
The thing I admire (among many) about Palmer is the guy doesn’t give a red rats rip what anyone says about him.
He was willing to walk away from millions of dollars and “retire” rather than be miserable playing for an org that refused to acquire the muscle to really make a serious run at the SB.
There’s a reason Cincy made the playoffs those two yrs. and it’s name is Carson Palmer.
Palmer WANTS to play for the S and B. If nothing else than the fact he gets to wear a cool looking uniform and not some clown outfit (lol), But seriously, you can tell the guy loves being a Raider…probably loves working closer to home in Cali too.
I love the guys demeanor…win or lose…he’s gonna give his all.

“John Riggins was one of the biggest characters to ever play football and rarely one to take himself too seriously
=======================================
One of the great moments in all of humanity was when the Redskins were invited to a state dinner at the White House and a drunk Riggins passed out in his plate of spaghetti right next to Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Conner. Riggins awoke to find O’Conner aghast at which he replied, “lighten up Sandy baby…”

Well, then we better hope that coaching and scheme have a huge impact on how the D performs bcz Slow is still there and it’s hard for me to see where there’s been definite upgrades anywhere else.
This isn’t a revelation – but teams with really bad defenses will consistently lose. Teams with really bad defenses that also turn the ball over on offense will get BLOWN OUT.
Don’t want to piss in the Kool-aid, but for the Raids to have a shot at the playoffs – DA and Tarver are going to have to work some magic and Palmer is going to have to eliminate his turnovers.
Both can happen, although I’m not confident either will.

Get a clue, we already had this argument 100 times and every time someone has to post the Ron Wolfe interview where he says that he learned everything he knows about football from Al Davis.

“I was there.”
You were where exactly?
In the war room with Ron Wolfe and Al Davis?
In the coaches or owners meetings or front office meetings with Ron Wolfe and Al Davis?
Did you work in the Raiders front office as Amy Trask’s secretary?
Unless the answer is yes to any of those questions your just a balling old goat who needs his diaper changed.

U might need to break that artice out again cuz apparently guys are not getting it.
Either Al Davis was NOT the meddling ego maniac everyone says he was, OR he was a sniveling yes man who gave the keys to Ron Wolf to run the organization.
You can’t have it both ways.
IN HIS OWN WORDS we know what Wolf said. The response from those who refuse to give Al any credit for anything say that Wolf was afraid he’d be assassinated by Al’s hitmen if he didn’t lie about his true feelings about Al, or that Wolf was making it up for some other reason which makes no sense…why would he willingly give credit to someone else for his own accomplishments?
I think Wolf was a genius and I think Al was smart to hire him.
Why is that so difficult?
Can’t we let Al Davis rest in peace already?
July 1st, 2012 at 7:48 pm
Al Davis was a controlling, dictator, megalomaniac.
EXCEPT when it came to Ron Wolf.
He cowered under the weight of Wolf’s presence and deferred to anything Wolf wanted, but Wolf was the ony person Al would let run things his own way.
Ok. I got it now.
Makes total sense.

This should end the debate once and for all:
“Davis coached Wolf on what he was looking for in young prospects — desirable qualities for each position. The mission for every Raiders employee was clearly defined: Make Oakland a better football team, piece by piece.”

July 1st, 2012 at 8:56 pm
This should end the debate once and for all…
======================================
Rest assured, it won’t.
At his peak, Davis was the best there was.
Davis was the iconic renegade that did things his way and built a dominant team and brand.
Problem is, Davis faltered badly towards the end.
There were some lean years before a resurgence during the Gruden era, but the Raids were ALWAYS relevant til that point. No longer a dominant team, but you always felt they were close and that Davis would get it done somehow.
Then came the horrific string of first round busts and horrible free agent signings and poor trades.
The Raids were no longer relevant. Heck, they became a laughing stock and were abysmal bottom feeders that set a record for futility.
Thus, the door was opened to question Al’s legacy.
Wolf was an important part of the organization that Al built. But it’s revisionist history to give Wolf the lion’s share of credit for the glory years and to diminish Davis’ contribution. Davis was always the captain of the ship.
Al was a legend that deserves the bulk of the credit for making the Raiders what they once were. He also deserves severe criticism for what they became.
For me, it ain’t the same without Al. I’ll always be a Raider fan, but not getting to see the Old Man hoist a 4th Lombardi – and prove all the naysayers wrong a final time – takes just a little luster and enthusiasm away from the enterprise.
RIP AL.

Belichik didn’t do squat in Cleveland. He didn’t win until he worked with Kraft. Belichik sucks.
Jordan didn’t win squat w/o Pippen. Pippen was the true great one.
I don’t see how it can’t be that Al Davis and Ron Wolf worked great together. There collective success does not have to take away from there individual successes.
Ron Wolf didn’t win jack w/o Al Davis and Ted Thompson. Wolf was a failure in his short stint in Tampa. W/O Al Davis and Ted Thompson he was a failure.

Guru 99 there are several things that give me hope that things can and will turn around rather quickly for the boys in S&B.
One of the things that I’m certain will happen is that the defense is being “modernized” as we speak. JT knows that the old Raider D way of rarely blitz, rush four, man everywhere is dated. The team has to take advantage of the athletes they do have and play to their strengths.
What I we hopefully might see is a Raider team that is “updated” through scheme and game management on both sides of the ball. Gotta admit with HueJaxCity it was always run, run, pass. Now the Raider O has speed and size with the WR’s & that should open up with a re-write of the playbook.
Lastly the Raiders have Reggie McKenzie. This guy was with Ron Wolf for 26 years. Ron was extremely instrumental in the success of the Raiders under AD’s leadership during the 70’s. I’m certain Reggie picked up an awful lot of knowledge off of Wolf. Plus he has Raider bloodlines so the desire to rebuild the Raiders to greatness is there. On paper the Raider O matches up with those the the West. There’s a lot to look forward to.

RAIDERMAN99 Says:
July 1st, 2012 at 6:19 pm
Well, then we better hope that coaching and scheme have a huge impact on how the D performs bcz Slow is still there and it’s hard for me to see where there’s been definite upgrades anywhere else.
This isn’t a revelation – but teams with really bad defenses will consistently lose. Teams with really bad defenses that also turn the ball over on offense will get BLOWN OUT.
Don’t want to piss in the Kool-aid, but for the Raids to have a shot at the playoffs – DA and Tarver are going to have to work some magic and Palmer is going to have to eliminate his turnovers.
Both can happen, although I’m not confident either will.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
July 1st, 2012 at 10:45 pm
Remember we set a record for penalties and our d was TERRIBLE. It is impressive we were as close as we were…I think we are closer than people think. Watching last years games again…we would have won if we had a half way decent d and/or middle of the pack penalties. Last year was more frustrating than the 2 win or 4 win seasons because we beat ourselves silly. But maybe that means we are close?

Our D was raunch covered with skank. Can you imagine if the D squad was only like 10% less worse we’d of made the post season. We were closer than most people realize or we got credit for. But when you give up 99 and 99 1/2 yard drives when everyone knows you couldn’t stop it anyway, you know the D is all ass. Funky crusty mud butt ass. But all that is going to be different now. We’ll be in the top 10. Book it.

I think last year we were a lot closer to 6-10 than 10-6.
We won a lot of nail-biters, then got pulverized in a lot of losses.
July 2nd, 2012 at 5:13 am
That may be true that we were closer to being a 6-10 team, but it’s human nature to ask the “what if” questions. It didnt’ take more than a smidge more luck and the Raiders would have made the playoffs.
Of course, the way they played so erratically and the defense as bad as it was, it was only going to be inevitable that they were going to be one and done in the playoffs anyway.
July 2nd, 2012 at 5:21 am
Seymour doesn’t block that FG in KC, and we lose our last 5 games down the stretch last season.
Not the sign of a team a smidge away, but since the rest of the division shat the bed as well we still had a chance.

=====================================
Yeah, true story….I’m a Palmer over Campbell fan, but I can’t deny how much improved Jason started out his second season with us. I was not “Blown away” but I was impressed. I think everyone let out a collective “BIG DEGECTED SIGH” when DMAC went out of the game, then when Jason went down with the collar bone…..I personally felt like the season might be a wash after that. The fact that Carson came in and had some good victories was encouraging, and Bush did well out of the gates. I think that picked our heads up and made us think we could pull a rabbit out of this one.
It just gets so hard to go into a season HOPING for luck, and breaks, and for other teams to crap the bed vs, KNOWING you have a good team and feeling confident in their capabilities.

Which is why if you believe that Dennis Allen and Mad Scientist Tarver bring the discipline that previous regimes didn’t have because of lack of authority, then you no longer have to hope for LUCK.
With a well disciplined team, we can sit back and execute and make the other team make the mental errors that kill them. Turn the tables on what we were, and put the pressure on the other guys to implode. That’s what strikes me about Reggies, “aw shucks”, laid back demeanor. He doesn’t stress, he’s going to emphasize success through repitition and precision and let other teams make the critical mistakes.
July 2nd, 2012 at 7:15 am
We gave the division away the last 2 seasons:
10: we go 6-0 in the division, but only manage to win 2/10 games outside it.
11: we lost 4 of our last 5 games.
Anything less than 8-8/ 9-7 people should get fired (DC, OC, or HC).
July 2nd, 2012 at 7:19 am
If we had any kind of defense last year, we win 2 more games.
- Bills and Lions!
July 2nd, 2012 at 7:21 am
I always appreciated Soup too. He worked his tail off to get this team ready last year. He overacheived if anything. But the minute you saw a Carson Palmer throw go deep downfield on a perfect arc, trajectory, timing, and touch.
The Thursday Night game against San Diego was all anyone needed to see to flip the switch and see the difference from Soup to CP3. It was a huge difference, and once you get a taste for elite throwing skills and mechanics, it’s hard to remember that Soup was ever a part of this team’s long term plans. The difference was night and day. I give mad props to Soup for bringing his lunch pail every day, but he’s not in the same league as CP3.
July 2nd, 2012 at 7:23 am
-We led the league in penalties.
-Had one of the worst defenses in Raiders’ history.
-Hue was our HC and Chucky was the DC.
-We lost our starting QB and RB due to injuries.
We were 8-8.
I expect us to do better this season.
July 2nd, 2012 at 7:26 am
Soup was too conservative. You need a good defense, and great players on offense (DMAC) for him to be able to have any success as a starter IMO.
July 2nd, 2012 at 7:35 am
Soup was too conservative because he knew his own limitations. He knew his deep ball was a risky proposition and tried to cut down on the turnovers.
The deep ball is a combination of talent and balls. You need mad talent and brass balls. Soup had neither.
July 2nd, 2012 at 7:35 am
The Thursday Night game against San Diego was all anyone needed to see to flip the switch and see the difference from Soup to CP3
===========================
That game was a glimpse of what we “COULD” be. That is what I hung onto in my mind, heading into the offseason. Carson gets a full offseason and training camp. Come on baby, gimmie more of that SD game.
I also feel confident in RM, DA, and Tarver. Just like you mentioned. Reggie don’t stress, and you shouldn’t. I had a coach once tell me that stress on game day comes from lack of preparation. You could relate that to a job interview or anything else. No stress = piles of preparation and doing things the right way.

I agree with this…put it this way, we probably should have been 6-0 out the gates if we had at least a decent defense last year. And probably 7-1 (that game against KC was a wash with everyone down and Boller in there, ugghh!) before the bye week!

What the Italian Goalie did was nothing compared to a HC in the NFL getting Manicures and pedicures.
July 2nd, 2012 at 7:52 am
I can forgive Hue his habit of keeping his nails clean and shiny. He could have painted them cherry red and worn mascara for all I care. What is unforgivable is losing the team after Soup went down. No forgiveness for losing the season. Would not have been a story had Hue won.

Exactly right. What the Raiders could be. How many years have we been watching our games and then flipping the channel to the primetime games with Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and see the discrepnacy in the QB position? Compared to the leagues elites, we were always fielding either stiffs or journeymen at the most important position.
That SD game was like “Wow, this is what good QB looks like?” It’s like we got teased there. It becomes addicting to look forward to elite NFL QB play. Especially the deep accurate touch throw. It pulls in all the POTENTIAL of our young stud WR’s, who were being held back because of inconsistent QB play. I want to see what CP3 does with a full offseason under his belt and a healthy explosive young WR corps. This should be awesome to witness.

Don’t forget SD game.
If we were able to hold SD at their own 1/2 yd. line we would’ve been down only 5 with a short field to score a TD and win the division EVEN WITH losing to Buffalo and Detroit previously.
Some say Raiders could’ve just as easily been 6-10 with the close games we won but u can also rightly say should’ve been at least 11-5 if we had just a below average D…not the horrendous one we did have.
IMO, yes…the D was THAT bad.

…and yet Bleacher Report says Carson “struggled mightily” towards end of the season.
He’s clutch in a hostile environment at Arrowhead in a rivalry game on the road and then follows up with 417 yds. and 2 td’s against SD in the finale and he “struggled mightily”?

JC seemed like he always played “not to lose”.
************
yeah, that’s exactly how he played. I’m a little fearful that that is the kind of QB that Greg Knapp is going to try to turn CP3 into to fit his conservative WCO.
—
If so then it would get interesting. Palmer does not strike me as they type of guy that will sit idly by and smile if he sees opportunities downfield that Knapp tells him not to take.
I juts don’t see it.
I would hope Knapp will tell him “If u see it…take it man.”

Raiderdave, I have a friend in Cali. who is hiring people to sell TV show time to high end businesses.
The phone sales guy would call up the top business in any field like “Best Restaurant” for example and call up and tell them that they have “won” the distinction…The “cost” to the business to be featured on the show (that airs on Discovery Channel as well as prime time on the local network affiliate) is very minimal and is pitched to be the just the cost of production of the 2 minute video piece and air-time costs.
He tells me it’s an easy “sale” he just can’t find good people that wanna work at it.

Soup played, and has always played, like a guy just never quite sure of himself, his offense, or coaching staff.

July 2nd, 2012 at 8:41 am
Someday JC will get another shot to show what he’s all about.
It may be sooner than later in Chi.
I did get some crap from one of my Bear fan friends out here cuz I was talking up Soup as an underrated QB (when things were good). And then JC trips over himself scurrying off to Chi. to be Cutler’s backup.
It seems JC and his agent panicked like “You’d better take this man. It might be your only chance.”

Being better than the San Francisco team is the business model for professional sports in Oakland. Prove me otherwise, or just shut up and take that to the bank. No Oakland sports team has succeeded long term without being dominant over the SF team in their sport. NO ONE!!!!!! EVER!!!
————————————————
Dude, I think the onus is on you to prove your point, which strikes me as a little off the wall. You got some secret documents stashed somewhere? Otherwise, all you’re doing is citing some historical data which may be entirely coincidental–to wit, that when one franchise is up the other is down. Are wins and success in the Bay Area a zero sum game? In other words, is there a finite amount of success in the region? That would be truly remarkable.
There’s also an implication in your rather strained perspective that Oakland teams try to mimic/copy/benchmark? the SF teams. But with McKenzie’s ascendancy–and his clear intention to emulate the Packers–that theory is easily disproven.
So back to the drawing board for you I’m afraid.

Remember the infamous “incident” when Al supposedly came in the Raider lockerrom…dropped a towell and waited for someone to clean his shoes? The “real” story was it was a joke..a gag…
Al had made a bet with one of the coaches about coverages or something and Al won the “bet”. Apparently Al said to the coach “If i’m right, you’re gonna shine my shoes after the game”.
Hence…the “incident”.

I’m not one of those guys.

Why the freak would rat in DC ship out JC to Oakland in order to replace him with a washed-up McNabb?
Campbell very well could take the reins in Chi-town this year. It only takes one injury to rat’s other handpicked QB savior.
Did you see how tight Shanny’s skin is stretched across his face these days? He has either been under the knife a few times, or is shriveling up due to old age.
Let’s see what ratty guru can do with RG3.

Oh shut up…the way you lamblast Al even while he is buried in the ground is sickening man
You even had the nerve to make fun of his last appearance we seen of Al after week 3 of the preseason vs the Saints….remember? You picked about his hat cover the oozing scabs? Dont act brand new to this…you’re total trash Kell of the most rancid variety

OK, DJJ that’s cool. Look, I’m not a fan of a lot of what AD did with the team especially in his later “Crypt Keeper” days but did know a good football player when he saw one. The thing I’m sad for with AD’s legacy is JaBustus ‘The Walrus’ Russell.
AD was always a fiery, controversial dude and fiery, controversial dude’s are even that way in death.

__________________________________
if they could swing hickson, he would solidfy the bench at very least .. i could see him starting over Barnes… it’s the same with Azeli backing up Bogut… let the new beasty draft class sit behind the starters.. then when the dead weight contracts are up, these will be the guys to hopefully replace a few guys like Lee and Bogut …
and to me, the biggest hurtle for this ballclub is the same as the THE OTHER TWO TEAMS 50-FT AWAY FROM THEM ARENA–there’s currently a great core of players on all 3 teams, yet they CANNOT EVER STAY HEALTHY in and year out–that’s the first thing both Raiders and W’s need to overcome this upcoming season. if this can finally be achieved, then we really have something here.
July 2nd, 2012 at 7:03 pm
The biggest issue for the Dubs is their inability to guard ANYONE on the perimeter.
Our PG defense is beyond awful, so teams either run ISO up top on our PG, or some type of pick-and-roll, and our defense just breaks down immediately.
Guys are rotating over to pick up help, and some guy is either wide open in the corner or breaks free on the baseline. And it also leads to guys out of position to finish the defensive possession and grab the board.
Until we fix this, we will continue to be on the wrong side of .500
July 2nd, 2012 at 7:12 pm
Pretty slick play from Pennington there……
July 2nd, 2012 at 7:14 pm
yea there’s a bunch of bench players that could play D for us when we have to.. plus i think Bogut’s stellar D will help a lot in the paint .. even last year we kept many games throughout the year VERY close, and we owned the Lakers time and time again … and that’s a playoff team.
with this current team healthy, they could make some noise on defense and score A LOT of points..
with that said, Jackson better improve defense at both our Guard positions, or life will definitely be hard on Bogut and he’ll just foul out every game… then we have Beistench 2.0

yea Pennington’s D is solid … that’s about it.. sick of suzuki as well
July 2nd, 2012 at 7:20 pm
Agreed that Bogut will help, but also agree that if you are continually letting guards keep their dribble alive 10 feet from the tin, he will be in foul trouble more often than not.

July 2nd, 2012 at 9:02 pm
Kell, not necessarily … he lands wrong more often than getting stepped on. that’s why Myers and West are pinning their hopes on he and Bogut to be over their “freak” accidents and are 100% healed… that way they will give them at 85% of the season each… that’s the hope anyway.
July 2nd, 2012 at 9:05 pm
JFB, yea can’t give up easy lanes. i know people dog Lee’s defense, but i’ve seen him clog up lanes, forcing outside shots .. i’m tellin ya.. everyone is up to Bogut to run the defense properly… it relieves pressure off Lee and he snags rebounds like no one’s business.
Hickson would be a very welcomed addition. i say use everything on him or maybe they could just backload two contracts for Brandon and Hickson. that would be solid because “IF” Roy stayed healthy, he’s a good defender and would be great off the bench.

How come head coaches in the NFL don’t wear suits with ties anymore?
Madden used to wear a tie…Hank Stram, Tom Landry…

July 2nd, 2012 at 10:34 pm
Conservative block of the Supreme Court had Justice Roberts fall on his for this decision:
I can hear them all huddled up:
“Okay boys, now we stole the election in Florida in the year 2000 and gave it to GW. Since then almost every decision has gone against the people. We passed America United so that SuperPacs can raise as much money as they they can from the plutocracy running this country, with no disclosure whatsoever.
We need to break the peasants off something and health care might as well be it.
Hopefully Mitty will be elected and we can throw democracy down the tubes, stage all out war 365 24/7, steal mainstreet’s money, while creating plenty of jobs…in China. And none of us will have to ever pay taxes again.
So we’ll give them this, and then we can wring every last penny out of them. Afterall, we wouldn’t want to see them riot in the street; we may lose out jobs too.”

Because it’s uncomfortable as $hit and they probably felt it created a barrier between coach and players.

This will most likely be the most boring chat in the history of chats.
Thery’ll be the obligatory kiss up to Cork followed by a mundane ? that has been answered a milion times already. Something like… “Hey Cork. You do a great job with the chats. Do you think Raiders run the 4-3 or the 3-4 this yr.?” Cork will respond with “They will run multiple schemes according to DA and Tarver”.
Then he’ll say “Ok guys, thanks for joining me, bye.”
July 2nd, 2012 at 10:46 pm
…wait. Thery’ll be TWO questions. The other one will be: “Hey Cork. Thanks for everything you do. Do you think Raiders sign Cedric Benson”?
Cork will respond “Not sure. There was a report that the Raiders are looking at him but I haven’t heard anything that’s been verified”.
THEN he’ll say; “Thanks guys.”

That’s not a bad idea. I remember when I used to able to tune football out in the offseason after the SB. I’d follow the draft and look forward to fun surprises from Al…..big FA pickups etc. but then tune it out till the first preseason game would all of a sudden sneak up on me and i’d be like “wow…football’s back…cool”. Then the 1st preseason game i’d see SF beating us 55-6 or something and get demoralized until we’d beat Arizona 15-14…THEN i’d be back with high hopes.

…actually we never played SF in the 1st preseason game did we?
Anyway, baseball used to take alot of my interest up so that I could football on the backburner but last few yrs. it’s been football 365 days a year basically.
I don’t think i’m the only one, as evidenced by the popularity of NFL Network for instance..even in offseason.
NFL has taken over the sports world big time.
I’d bet that soon a preseason game featuring Tebow against Aaron Rodgers for instance (if only for a quarter) will pull better numbers than a World Series game.

It’s a great summer to be a Raiders fan. Isn’t it?!
C’mon Jer…Cork?
I’ve been in the mountains and on the ocean so far this summer…out of internet and phone coverage a number of times…and then I check in here.
Where’s all the (any) news??
There’s got to be something going on, even in the summer. Yeah, yeah, yeah…you guys were humping during minicamp. But, ummm…that was a vacation ago.
There’s got to be some trivia, or Player bios, or something else Raiders-related that can be written or reported on.
You guys are awesome when you’re on…but, unless you’re working as school teachers, I don’t think you should be taking the summer off (the tea-baggers in here would agree with that statement).
C’mon, Jer/Cork — Give us something Raiders/sports-related to discuss in here. Puh-leeeze.
Something like this maybe:

Bad News, it’s tuff to stay riveted to commentary like: “You see he’s trying to stay ahead of hitters with his slider. He’s throwing second pitch curveballs against lefties and he’s working the zone in on right handed hitters. You see as we go thru the pitch sequence of the last 15 hitters, that his knuckleball is working a bit outside when he’s getting behind on batters when there’s less than two outs and the score is either tied or there’s someone on base and it’s past the 7th inning or before the 5th inning if the batter before him draws a walk”.

Raiders ticket promotion yields $54,000 for Oakland schools
Posted by Mike Florio on July 3, 2012, 1:34 PM EDT
In one of the more unique charitable gestures we can remember, the Raiders officially have raised more than $54,000 for Oakland schools.
The Raiders accomplished that feat by carving out 10 percent of the gross proceeds for all season tickets sold between May 1 and June 30.
It also means that the Raiders sold more than $540,000 in season tickets during that two-month window.
We hope more teams will look for creative, win-win ways to do business. For the Raiders, they found a way both to move merchandise and raise money for a good cause.

G’afternoon fellas.
Sorry to hear about Big Ben. Sympathies to the Davidson family.
If Phil V is the spokesman for Madden’s ’70s Raiders, then Ben was the face of the late ’60s.
With his trademark handlebar mustache and dirty play he symbolized the Raiders “Hell’s Angels in Shoulder pads” image.
A lil before my time, but I love the old NFL Films of him starting that infamous brawl vs the Chiefs and the classic Bill King call…”And here come all the Raiders. Holy Toledo”.
RIP Mr. Davidson.

Big Ben was BIG back then. Not so much by today’s standards. He was 6′8″ & about a lean 250#. His claim to fame was the amount of time he played AFTER the whistle blew. He wouldn’t have even made the squad based on his size, ability & rules change. I think one of his more famous plays was when he speared KC Chief’s QB Len Dawson while he was on the ground well after the whistle. This promptly started a brawl and caused many flags to be thrown from all directions. He single handedly helped take a loss and extend the game where the Raiders were able to come back & win the game. I think it was in 67 or 68.
I met him at training camp one ear in Santa Rosa. what was so surprising was just how thin & lean he really was. He would have been killed by today’s O-Linemen – just a size mismatch.
RIP Big Ben. Thanks for all the great thrills you provided back in the day.

July 3, 2012, 7:57 PMJuly 3: No Polling Fireworks on Eve of Holiday |
Tuesday is often a busy day for polling, but the volume was relatively light on the eve of the July 4 holiday. On the plus side for President 0bama: a poll from a Republican-leaning firm that put him up by a point in Florida, and encouraging reports on factory orders and auto sales. Favoring Mr. Romney were a North Carolina poll that put him 5 points ahead, and national tracking polls that moved a point toward him. Overall, the FiveThirtyEight forecast was essentially unchanged, with Mr. 0bama given a 68.3 percent chance of winning the Electoral College.

As I remember that was the game for the division, before wild cards. Dawson had picked up the clinching first Down on a scramble to the right side. The Game & Season was over.
The only thing I can think of, was baiting a KC player to retaliate. Otis Taylor did. Off-setting penalties. KC 1st down negated, Raiders stopped the next play.

July 4th, 2012 at 10:46 am
Saddened to see Big Ben has passed.
Reminds me of when the Raiders played defense.
DJ+Kell; Lassiter broke the jaw and it was Griese getting sacked.
If the Raiders D improves this year it is because of steadier corner play and the addition of Shaugnessy/Tollefson.
All of this nonsense about scheme and Huff’s comments about how playing in a real defense will help makes me sick.
Did Mr. Davis tell KELLY to jump offsides on 3rd and 4?
Did he tell SEYMOUR to get thrown out of a game before halftime because he was being embarrassed?
Did he tell HUFF to clutch and grab and get called for holding on a 3rd and 15?
Did he tell McCLAIN to take a bad angle and miss another tackle?
O’Steen, Kinlaw, Villapiano, Lassiter, Rowe, Martin, Conners, Biekert, Sistrunk, Davis etc. were not gifted. They are simply examples of guys who knew the system, played hard and made big plays when it counted.
Maybe today’s Raiders ought to report to camp in shape (KELLY) ready to play and stop blaming coaches or the scheme.
Don’t be surprised to see some more “names” get cut in camp.

-Did you ever see TK benched for leading the league in jumping offsides?

-Al’s hand-picked DB coach Willie Brown, actually DID tell people to do that, according to Chris Johnson last year. I believe the quote was “just go up and grab him by the neck”; that’s what Raiders coaches taught.

July 4th, 2012 at 2:11 pm
My point is that the Raiders are weak because our players are weak. NOT because of scheme or coaching.
We have had some of the most overrated and overpaid slobs the game has had to offer (Warren, Moss, Sapp etc.)
To that end Mr. Davis should take the blame. He was loyal to a fault when it came to today’s players. He was used to character guys like Banaszak, Hubbard, Otto, Villapiano,Plunkett etc. who were thankful for the opportunity to play a kids game and get paid well for their efforts.
Thankfully we do have new eyes to see the frauds like Johnson and Routt.
If players do not execute we lose. It is that simple. The system, the ownwer, the GM, the fans and the cheerleaders don’t mean jack without talent on the field.
July 4th, 2012 at 2:14 pm
Charlie, If I agreed with you this time we would both be wrong!
Our Coaches have been weak for over 10 years….with the exception of a quality position Coach here and there….
The men who call the game…the guys who have to make the split decisions and halftime adjustments….have been WEAK…
I can give example if you have the rest of the day to discuss it!
July 4th, 2012 at 2:52 pm
Backstage;
Marshall,Bresnahan,Cable,Jackson,Kiffin,Callahan, Saunders, Shell etc. have all had substantial success in other locations and in a variety of various capacities OTHER THAN OAKLAND. Bresnahan and Shell even had success in Oakland. They simply had better football players the first time around.
Bottom line is we have tried different schemes, different systems, different attitudes and on and on and it has not worked because we overpaid for weak talent.
What we have not done is draft enough lineman (especially dline) in the first two rounds in the last ten years.
Spencer, Bartell, Wheeler, Tollefson, Shaugnessy will hopefully help out. If they don’t you can go “multiple” and blitz as often as you like and we will get our b*tts kicked.
You have to regularly be able to pressure with four and stop the run with your front seven or you will fail as a defense. Our dfensive line has been pathetic for years and no scheme will fix that. Only better players.

Blaming players is illogical?
Mr Davis bears the responsibility of getting the wrong players, NO DOUBT. But players need to play.
Are you saying all teams are equal in talent and it is only coaching that makes a difference?
Why didn’t the Rams magically become a defensive force like the Giants when they got Spagnuolo? He got fired because his players s*cked and they went 2-14.
Were Wisnieski and Shell supposed to block as coaches?
Is Saunders supposed to throw?
Was Lal supposed to catch?
Was Biekert supposed to tackle?
That is absurd. Players need to execute. All of the coaching changes and new systems have not worked because our players are bad. ESPECIALLY on the line of scrimmage. (JR was a fat, lazy, overpaid jerk as well)
Fotunately Mckenzie is overhauling our roster to get better players whose production will match their compensation. Players are 80% of the game. If they are bad your team will be bad. With or without good coaching.
July 4th, 2012 at 3:57 pm
July 4th, 2012 at 4:02 pm
Charlie I do agree with you on some points. Over payed players that can’t perform have been the norm.
Nothing can replace solid coaching though. A good example is Chris Peterson from Boise ST. They get bottom of the barrel players and turn them into BCS contenders.

“I would have loved Al turning over the football operations to Reggie Mack 5-10 years ago, and having success and amplifying his legacy even more.”
Who cares what you would have liked to see happen it is NOT your team it was Al Davis choice not yours.
Stop being so barrow minded and self centered like the world should work the way you want it to what are you 6 years old.
Al Davis wanted to win more than you ever will or ever know or could experience in any way and it was his decision to run his team the way he wanted to and its his legacy not yours.
He earned the right to hold on to it so closely in the end and he passed the team on to his son the way he saw fit.

yea 12.5 ppg pretty awful … but 10.5 apg … that’s just craziness! with Gasol and Bynum under the basket, i’m sure they will get fed a lot by Nash … we’ll see
July 4th, 2012 at 7:00 pm
Dakota,
Trade exception used to get Nash, eh?
Go Buss Jr.!
July 4th, 2012 at 7:05 pm
10.5 assts per game AND the best 3 point shooter in the league.
LOL at Ramon Sessions. Ariza situation all over again. What a dumbarsse!
Hope Farmar gets bought out and he comes back to lead the bench mob!

I could score on Steve Nash; he helps the Lakers nada.
Those Suns teams folded down the stretch, with Nash usually getting abused by Tony Parker and willingly defering to guys like Boris Diaw offensively in crucial moments.
July 4th, 2012 at 7:45 pm
I can’t wait for Russell Westbrook to average the easiest looking 37 points per game in the first round sweep of the 8th seeded Lake Show next year.
Can’t wait!!!!

Born down in a dead man town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
You end up like a dog that’s been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the u.s.a., I was born in the u.s.a.
I was born in the u.s.a., born in the u.s.a.
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
Born in the U.S.A…
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said son if it was up to me
Went down to see my v.a. man
He said son, don’t you understand
I had a brother at Khe Sahn
Fighting off the Viet Cong
They’re still there, he’s all gone
He had a woman he loved in Saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I’m ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run aint got nowhere to go
Born in the u.s.a., I was born in the u.s.a.
Born in the u.s.a., I’m a long gone daddy in the u.s.a.
Born in the u.s.a., born in the u.s.a.
Born in the u.s.a., I’m a cool rocking daddy in the u.s.a.

Didn’t get to see much of Ben Davidson’s play but have seen the footage of him spearing Len Dawson numerous times.
That kind of personal foul would definitely earn a suspension these days.
The athletes are bigger, faster and stronger today but I think in many ways the game was tougher back when Davidson played.
Hard to believe Atkinson’s near decapitation of Lynn Swann was perfectly legal back in the day.
Kind of amazing that there weren’t more serious injuries or fatalities back when there weren’t as many rules in place to safeguard the players.
The really amazing thing is that a large portion of the players were getting paid chump change and worked other jobs in the off-season to survive.
Man, how times have changed.

Bynum, Gasol, Artest, Bryant & Nash = wow
what will be the excuse for not getting past Spurs or Thunder next postseason?
Lakers trying to win now, like Al Davis used to. Giving up high picks for an over-the-hill vet with maybe 1 or 2 years left

So you’re telling me that replacing Sessions with Nash makes them a worse team than last year?
8th place and first rd exit?????
LMFAO!
July 5th, 2012 at 6:38 am
And the cosigning Podunkian?????
Told you all along that all the Lakers needed was a PG with some balls. And they get arguably the best 3 point shooter in the league???
Nash getting that corner 3 instead of Blake?
Nash has GaSTUD to run pick and roll with instead of Gortat????
Agree with the CAN’T WAIT part of your statement.
July 5th, 2012 at 6:40 am
Nash has NEVER had weapons like this to play with.
THREE all stars??????
Nash will lead the league in assts by a wide margin.

How about those first place Dodgers?????
Limping into the All star break, but the big doggs will be back in the line up sooner than later.
Giants might not make the playoffs.

Just heard about Big Ben Davidson’s demise. RIP.
He was a little before my time, but I remember the old photos of him with the big Rollie Fingers type stache. The man was a giant and one of the pioneers of the Raiders aura of intimidation.

What’s the great Steve Nash playoff moment?
Getting shoved into the scorer’s table against the Spurs, and then wilting the next two games?
I’m with Zeke Thomas on this one, Nash only won MVP’s because he is a goofy-looking white dude.
The guys has made the playoffs 10 times, and lost in either 4 or 5 games in the first round HALF THE TIME!!
First round exit extradionare!!!!!

July 5th, 2012 at 7:29 am
Nash is a PIECE, for crying out loud.
This isn’t going to be the Steve Nash Show.
What are you talking about?
They still have 2 other top 10 playersin the league in Kobe and Bynum, and a top 20 player in Gasol.
Nash is just going to be the straw that stirs the drink mayne.
July 5th, 2012 at 7:30 am
Fisher never played good D. And he won 5 titles.. Nash is a hofer and an all star this season… Hahahahaha!!

There is no “stopping” guys like Westbrook, Durant, CP3, Tony Parker, Nash, etc.

Lakers offense will avg more than 100 a game.
They are CLEARLY in the conversation as a title contender.

July 5th, 2012 at 7:53 am
Nash will have his moments, and he is hella fun to watch, but there is no ignoring that he has and always was a better regular season player then a postseason player, and it continues to exacerbates with each year.
The guy has won 3 playoff series in the last 7 years.
He is at his best running up and down the floor in Mid-January, not grinding it out in the halfcourt in May.
July 5th, 2012 at 7:54 am
JFB,
I’ll kind of concede the Dodger argument for this season as I really think we are a corner bat away from title contention.
I’m really looking forward to next year though!
How are you going to deal with …
Kershaw
Hamels
Capuano
????????????
Three LEFTY aces????
July 5th, 2012 at 7:56 am
Either needs to be at 1st base!
Cuban stud in left, Kemp in Right, Gwynn Jr in CF.
With those 3 lefty aces throwing the pelota?????
Like I said, enjoy your time on top now b/c this is it!
July 5th, 2012 at 7:58 am
Capuano???
LOL
He has a career losing record.
Don’t be fooled by this first half.
July 5th, 2012 at 8:00 am
Either is on the mend again I believe, he needs to stay at 1B.
I was amazed how bad he looked defensively this year, he use to be solid, now he is a hack with no arm.
Maybe it was due to injury.
July 5th, 2012 at 8:00 am
He is at his best running up and down the floor in Mid-January, not grinding it out in the halfcourt in May.

The 2 7 footers will do the gringing. They just needed someone to pass them the ball.

Nash will have his best shooting year ever this year.
He will have more open shots than ever before.
July 5th, 2012 at 8:07 am
Kershaw is a beast, top 5 pitcher.
Am I missing something on Hamels? I know his a SoCal guy, but the Phillies will throw a ton of money at him and so might the Angels.
And he isn’t THAT THAT great. Good not great, not a power pitcher.

Nash won’t be fumbling the ball around like Fisher and Sessions.
Exactly when do you see them “running”?
July 5th, 2012 at 8:11 am
With Jim Otto as the visage behind the helmeted logo and Al Davis firmly in place as the franchise icon, the Oakland Raiders of the 1960s needed only a memorable image to properly construct a renegade identity.
Ben Davidson delivered.
The punishing defensive end brought the requisite imposing size, standing 6-foot-8 and weighing 275 pounds. He brought the commanding voice, a growling baritone that rumbled like thunder. He could play a bit, too, playing in three AFL All-Star games.
But it was Davidson’s devil-may-care attitude and rugged, biker gang-member look that really brought it home. His handlebar mustache, which appeared to be made from barbed wire, put the finishing touch on the villainous persona befitting the Raiders.
Davidson died Monday night near San Diego. He had prostate cancer. He was 72.
With AFL owners resorting to tricks and stunts in an effort to establish their upstart league against the long-standing NFL, Davidson was among those cast as promotional vehicles. He conveyed the appearance of anti-establishment, talking loud and often. His approach was, in a way, like that of a professional wrestler.
Davidson’s bristling mustache was featured in “The Autumn Wind,” the poem, recited by John Facenda, that over the years has become synonymous with the Raiders. He parlayed his marketable talents into TV and movie roles. He also was a regular in Miller Lite ads on TV and in magazines, appearing in more than two dozen of them.
Davidson also starred in one of the most famous photographs in football history, shown roaring past New York Jets quarterback Joe Namath, having decked the star with such force it sent Namath’s helmet flying from his head.
That was the play on which it was initially thought Namath’s jaw was broken, with Davidson getting the credit/blame. Namath’s jaw actually was fractured on another play, when he was hit by Raiders defensive end Ike Lassiter.
Davidson, generally good-natured and quick with a quip, still got the credit/blame — even though he often conceded he shouldn’t have.
“Isaac did it, but I got all the publicity,” Davidson told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in 2006. “Isaac figured if the stupid reporters had got it right, he would have been doing the Miller Lite commercials, not me.”
Davidson was born in Los Angeles and spent most of his formative years playing basketball. The son of a police officer, he didn’t participate in football until he reached junior college, after which he played well enough to earn a scholarship to the University of Washington.
Davidson came to the Raiders after being cut at least twice by other organizations. He spent eight seasons in Oakland and never regretted it.
“Playing for the Raiders was pretty safe,” he once said with a twinkle in his eye. “People knew if they did something to you, something might happen to them.”

Newsflash Lakers fans.
Nash shot 39% from 3, good for 33th in the league amongst all guards.
Worse than PG’s Jordan Farmar, Kyrie Irving, Ramon Sessions, John Lucas, Boobie Gibson, Steph Curry, Jerryd Bayless, Gary Neal and a whole host of others.

Lakers now NEED Dwight Howard to cover up the defensive holes of the rest of the lineup.

lol
Do you think Reggie will give Branch a LT deal, or do you think he is going to wait till next year?
July 5th, 2012 at 8:17 am
855. The lakers dont make excuses.. You just cant win a tittle every yr.. But the odds just went WAY up.
July 5th, 2012 at 8:17 am
Artest wont be on that team in 2 months.
July 5th, 2012 at 8:18 am
Artest’s money will & should go to Grant Hill & Rashard Lewis
July 5th, 2012 at 8:18 am
Hahahaha lolo… Weeeeee!!!
July 5th, 2012 at 8:19 am
2 seasons ago, he was 32nd in the league.
So you got the 30th best 3 point shooting guard in the league who can’t guard a chair, has a bad back (those things always go away for 38 year olds right?) and flops in the playoffs.
Good luck with that.
July 5th, 2012 at 8:19 am
whats the excuse going to be if the Lake Show doesn’t win it all???
———————————————————-
None!
They will deserve all the bashing they get.
July 5th, 2012 at 8:20 am
I think the Lakers have a good excuse.
Their GM overpaid for an overrated PG.
July 5th, 2012 at 8:21 am
Now the Lakers can use Sessions in a sign & trade with Bynum for Dwight Howard.
July 5th, 2012 at 8:21 am

for all the whining & complaining I see about them, the Lakers brass has been doing an excellent job of putting talent around KB24 every year … only to watch the “best player in the league” choke when it counts
July 5th, 2012 at 8:26 am
Nash IS overrated.
Should have never won those MVP’s.
At this stage in his career, he MIGHT be in the top 15 as a PG.
Ramon Sessions in 2012 might realistically be a better all around player.
Shoots a higher % from 3, much better defensively.
Those are facts.

But you only keep bringing up shooting %’s.. That’s fine. But Nash is a top 5 POINT GUARD. Passing, getting in lanes, setting up players..
Why dont you mention the Assists per game the past 5 years??.. weird.

July 5th, 2012 at 8:32 am
Nash is maybe the best in the league at running the break, no doubt.
But what else does he do better than Ramon Sessions? Dribble? OK. Shoot FT’s? Yes.
But….
Play Defense? LOL
Rebound? Still laughing
Control the ball? Actually Nash has a higher turnover ratio per 48 minutes.
Shoot the 3? Nope, Sessions was top 10 in the league.
Log more minutes? Nope.
July 5th, 2012 at 8:34 am
How often do teams with the av age of 24 win championships..? None of my laker champion teams have been that young..
July 5th, 2012 at 8:34 am
Assists go to the guy with the ball all the time.
Westbrook, John Wall and Derrick Rose have all been top 10 in assists the last two years.
Neither one is a good passer.

Can’t believe that.
What were the attempts???
Sessions had about a 4 game stretch where he couldn’t miss from 3. Was awful after that and stopped shooting.
You won’t find one person to jump on your Ramon Sessions is a better shooter than Nash propoganda.

Nash is not a 3 point shooter, he shot over 53% from the field, that is tops in the NBA for guards, add to that 10.7 assists per game, Sessions couldnt even start in Cleveland, he was a backup, wow

Looking at Nash & Sessions stats…
With all due respect, you either are jaded by some sort of hate towards Nash or you have no clue what your talking about.
The best argurment you can come up with is Sessions has a better 3 point %….WOW..

So…
Dwight Howard to the Lakers for Bynum and Artest???
Is that going to happen, DAV?
July 5th, 2012 at 8:41 am
@Kentucky
Branch will play out this season on the tag.
According to Vit Tafur, the deadline to sign him long term is July 16th … I don’t think BigMac is giving him a Weddle/Griffith type contract
heck, even the old contract Gibril Wilson got from Al Davis (6.5 mil per season) would be too rich imo

Horford, Teague, and a #1 for Bynum???
I really like Horford.

Nobody covers sessions. Nash was the suns.. His job just got WAY easier..
July 5th, 2012 at 8:46 am
The Lakers had the worst point guard play in the league last year, couldnt get the ball to Bynum or Gasol in the paint, now with Nash, finally the bigs will be fed, that spells championship, with or without Howard, dont even matter
July 5th, 2012 at 8:46 am
Branch will cave and take the Reggime’s offer. If not, he’ll be free to go his way next year and make half as much for the Donkeys.

Lakers are definately the favorites in the West now
the are stacked (on paper) , but I think JFB is correct in saying that they will exit in RD1 of the playoffs

He is a top 5 SS, and s top 10 S IMO.
July 5th, 2012 at 8:56 am
all I’ve heard from Laker fans the past 2 months is that they need Howard at C & Williams at PG to compete …
now they acquire old man Nash and dump a bunch of draft picks in doing so, and we’re told “CHAMPIONSHIP!!”

He gonna guard CP3 and Westbrook? How about Tony Parker?…Mike Conley? Ty Lawson?….even rookie and Oakland Native Damian Lillard?
And how about the main issue for LA named Kobe Bryant?
You think he gonna change being the selfish d–k he has always been?

Kobe played with Fisher and an outta shape Artest on the perimeter. OF COURSE he went into gunner mode with those dudes throwing up brick after brick.
So you’re sitting there with a straight face telling me that Nash is going to ignore Gasol and Bynum and only pass to Kobe?
LOL!

The Lakers lack the 2 most important things to defeat the Thunder or Heat.
Defense on the wings & Defense at the rim.

And you forget their superstars will share…Kobe? Not so much

I recall 2 championships with relatively the same roster, they had D Fish as the point guard who couldnt guard his own shadow, I recall Kobe sharing enough to win 5 championships total, and now he has the ultimate sharer as his point guard

I don’t need to convert you to Branch realism
look at the stats. watch a few games
belief is growing in some NFL circles that he was just a product of the Davis/Bresnahan/Woodson/Ross coaching scheme in a contract year with not much to show outside of a bloated tackle #’s and that he’ll flop under Allen/Tarver/Lynn/Lopez in 2012 if he gets paid big money

Who’s guarding Bynum if they Amnesty Perkins?

July 5th, 2012 at 9:38 am
I used to look at the pre-season (football) as kind of a throw-away and unimportant until last yr. when almost every flaw we saw from the Raiders in the preseason came to fruition in reg. season.
They showed very early they couldn’t stop the run, the offense would be decent, penalties would be a problem, and certain players were not going to be good.
“They’re playing their vanilla defense schemes…they’ll be fine” some said. Problem is there was absolutely no evidence shown in preseason that would be the case.
I believe (after last preseason) that when teams get hammered (like Raiders did) in 2nd half of preseason games it suggests a lack of depth; that proved true last reg. season as well.
I’ll be watching the preseason games closely…looking for signs that this team is gonna be something.
Final score of those games doesn’t matter, but you see stuff in those games that eneds up being important and translating over to reg. season.
July 5th, 2012 at 9:38 am
Ok, you’re right, Perkins blew his ACL…who had the back injury? Bynum?

The fact the lockout happened before preseason may have played into the teams flaws being carried over a bit.
As far as final score of those games..yeah they don’t mean squat normally. 85 Bears were 0-4 in preseason and u can cite many other examples. Heck…we were 0-4 and then won our 1st game on the road at Denver…but I wonder if some teams need preseason wins more than others.
Teams who know they’re good don’t care, but I wonder if some teams need ANY kind of win to help their psyche’s…tema who aren’t sure who they are yet. Just a thought.

“Felony?”
Yes indeed and I am convinced that the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service have started many files because of this blog and the digital threats DJ Sullie Fresh receives every day.
I wonder if he could get on the Dr Phil show with his anti-email bully campaign?
I am sure all the profits from his DJ’ing go to his anti bully fund.

Yes. The Al Attles coached Warriors with Rick Barry and Nate Thurmond leading the way.
My dad has told me the story how they beat Chicago (Van Lier, Bob Love, Chet Walker, Jerry Sloan) in the conf. finals in 76?
Bulls were up 15 in 2nd half at Oakland in game 7 and W’s came back to beat ‘em.
July 5th, 2012 at 10:30 am
When u think about it, what a great decade for Oakland sports in the 70’s.
A’s, Raiders, W’s all perennial contenders with 5 major sports championships before it was all said and done.
I’f i’m not mistaken, i think even the Golden Seals had a decent run.

What does that Larry Bird commercial say? THIS IS PERMANENT….next
July 5th, 2012 at 10:52 am
Was it two firsts and seconds for Nash ?
If so, Lakers don’t have much draft pick ammo left to be used in trades.
Course, they still might be able to package their big men in an attempt to get Howard.
In the NBA, you’ve got to have a superstar to win the title.
Howard is a superstar I wouldn’t give a plugged nickle for. Good shot blocker and decent rebounder, needs work on his offensive game. Wouldn’t want him due to his ’should I stay or should I go’ antics and back issues. Predict any team paying a ransom for him will ultimately be very disappointed.
Think Nash trade helps Lakers short term and for them it’s all about getting another title before Kobe is done.
One other Bball prediction – Derrick Rose will only be a shell of himself and never be a top flight player again. Too bad, because his athleticism, leaping ability and willingness to take it inside against the Redwoods made him exciting to watch.
I’m ready for some football.

I’ve been to (2) Raider games in my life…both in Chicago.
I did “represent” with Raider colors of course.
They won both games.
The worst one was when Raiders had the game locked up. Myself and a few other Raider fans were whooping it up when we were up 15-6 late in the 4th.
Raiders gave up the obligatory late “garbage” TD ..don’t they always do that? Anyway, it’s 15-13 now with just over a minute left and Bears do an onside kick…and RECOVER and drive the field easily to the point where Butler has a 28 yarder to inexplicably win a game they had no business winning.
He misses it left and the Raiders escape.

Louis Murphy in danger of not making Oakland Raiders
By Gregg Rosenthal
Around The League editor
Published: July 5, 2012
The Oakland Raiders’ wide receiver depth chart was one of the thinnest in the NFL not so long ago. Now you could argue it’s one of the deepest, even if we don’t know how it will shake out.
Consider Louis Murphy. He led the Raiders’ receiving corps with 41 catches and 609 yards as a 23-year-old in 2010. Now he could be fighting just to make the team.
Steve Corkran of the Contra Costa Times believes Murphy is in a battle just to make the roster because of buzzy rookies Juron Criner and Rod Streater. Criner has looked the part all offseason despite his status as a fifth-round draft pick. Streater, an undrafted rookie, took some snaps with the Raiders’ first-team offense last month.
The Raiders’ top three wideouts this year figure to be breakout choice Denarius Moore, an improved Darrius Heyward-Bey and Jacoby Ford. That is an explosive group; all three players can take any play the distance.
While there isn’t a lot of experience or variety with this Oakland receiver collection, they will present a lot of problems for defenses. It’s an Al Davis kind of group.

I don’t need to convert you to Branch realism
look at the stats. watch a few games
belief is growing in some NFL circles that he was just a product of the Davis/Bresnahan/Woodson/Ross coaching scheme in a contract year with not much to show outside of a bloated tackle #’s and that he’ll flop under Allen/Tarver/Lynn/Lopez in 2012 if he gets paid big money

You cant defend a point guard 1 on 1 in the playoffs . All they do is pick & roll. It takes 2 defenders at least..
July 5th, 2012 at 12:22 pm
The Lakers need to play better team defense. It’s not just about one on one match ups.
They need to rotate better and not over commit when a PG is driving to the basket.
They over converge on a penetrating PG and then he dishes out to someone wide open for easy buckets.

The only guy in the NBA who’s defensive play is so good he makes up for all the other 4 guys mistakes.

Good afternoon Raider Nation!
Although the acquisition of Steve Nash will help the Lakers out on offense, there is still a need for some help on the bench. The pick and roll with Nash and Gasol will be fun to watch and double teaming our bigs should free up Kobe or Nash for open jumpshots. Def doesn’t mean we are a lock for a championship though, the west is LOADED will talent.
July 5th, 2012 at 12:32 pm

I would like to see OKC acquire Dwight Howard.
possible?

Our new GM Hennigan is from OKC.. Maybe?
I think Harden/Perkins/Maynor or Harden/Ibaka would be good for both sides..
July 5th, 2012 at 12:50 pm
Heat role players did an outstanding job in hitting big shots. All great teams have those important role players. If they acquire Ray Allen, I might have to move out of Miami, can’t stand the amount of people hopping on the bandwagon…lol
July 5th, 2012 at 12:50 pm
Im sure okc like what they have.. No on howard..
July 5th, 2012 at 12:51 pm
Doubt very much that was Hue’s call. Al carved to fans like the clowns who burned JR’s jersey in the parking lot and threatened not to renew season ticks. And those sheep were so heavily influenced by the talking heads that semed determined to drive the guy out of the league. JR would have done great in Hue’s offense. He got off to a great start in that 1st minicamp under Hue.
=================
Not sure it was scheme that caused Russell to over throw a simple “wheel route” or have his signature move be a “sack fumble”. Not even a blind side sack either.

There isnt a team in the NBA who can NOT use Dwight Howard. LOL..
If you think otherwise you are probably suspect..or concerned about driving your own opinion

If BRL was a NFL QB, he would be in the league plain and simple.
July 5th, 2012 at 12:53 pm
Ewing was a scorer.. And a defender.
Howard needs moves, or a shot.. He’s a giant dennis rodman..

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I’m sharing a brain with Jaworski on this one. Great article for you sheep that really believe that arm strength is overrated. And to think that we had the stongest arm in the history of the game of football and cut him because of a bunch of short-sighted fans and members of the media makes me sick to my stomach!
================================================
Ummm, who is the strongest arm in the history of football playing for now ?
Answer: No one.
Reason: He’s too stupid.
Even if the fans and media being short-sighted is true, how do you account for the fact that there hasn’t been any reported interest in JaMoron by NFL GMs that are paid millions to make personnel assessments ?
Or are you still holding your breath anticipating the return of JaMoron ?
Here’s the thing – JaMoron’s arm strength and size made him an intriguing prospect. His lack of accuracy, dedication, substance abuse and pea brain made him the all-time NFL washout.
Poor JaMoron.
July 5th, 2012 at 12:56 pm

Do you think Devin Ebanks could turn out to be an effective player for us? He has a nice shot and (when he played) did a decent job staying in front of Durant on defense. I hope he could be Ariza pt.II!

Don’t know how Al Davis screwed that pick up by taking Russell over Megatron.
Especially after screwing up and taking Gallery over Fitz!

RIP Ben Davidson. A Raider’s Raider.
Back when he was pitching Miller Lite , I saw him at the Winternationals drag race in Pomona. He was hanging around the pits with the Miller Lite dragster team. (driven by Don Pruedhomme I belive.) Signing autographs, and drinking Miller Lite 16oz. cans..
Sadly, the autograph I got form him was lost during a move. But, I’ll never forget meeting him, hearing his thunderous laugh that you could hear over all the noise that there is at a drag race. And lastly how small a 16oz. beer can looked in his massive hand. Looked like one of those small V-8 cans, instead of a tall boy..
Tell, Al and all our other lost Raiders we miss them..
Thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Davidson’s family, and loved ones…..
July 5th, 2012 at 1:07 pm
I like Devin Ebanks. He’s got a good future.

You have to understand how ridiculous you sound discounting the Lakers past success.
It simply means that they know what they are doing. They know how to construct a championship team.
And Laker fans being along for the ride also know what a championship team looks like.
For the next 3 years, the Lakers are set up to be ONE of the better teams in the NBA. There is no arguing that.

Nope. Dwight doesnt have a Kobe or Gasol to stretch the Defense..

Watch that Finals again.
Fisher & Ariza were flashing on Dwight the second he touched the ball.
Lakers rotated to shooters.
fact is Bynum doesnt see that attention EVER.

Becuz Bynum is a great passer out of double teams…they damn sure know better
And you talking that finals where they could been up 3-2 after leaving Orlando? lol funny as outside shooting wasnt crackin as it was vs clev a series earlier…orlando folded becuz theyre leader was a folder

He also doesn’t turn 25 years until December. Which just doesn’t seem fair, if we’re honest.

Hello
July 5th, 2012 at 7:28 pm
Saw some discussion in here about great NBA coaches.
Jackson, Auerbach, Riley. Obviously, those names come up because of the number of championships they won.
When I watch games on the tube and the HC is wired for sound, I can’t help but notice how little actual tactical coaching goes on during time outs.
Seems like there’s a lot of generalities, like ‘we need stops’, ‘keep playing solid defense’, ‘keep playing hard’.
Lots of general ‘rah rah’ stuff. Not as much tactical ‘zone up’, ‘full court press’, ‘immediate foul’ coaching as one would think.
I think NBA coaches generally make their money by installing systems that best fit their squads, running good practices and managing the players.
During the Laker ’showtime’ era of Magic, Kareem, Worthy and Coop had the good fortune to sit courtside immediately next to the Laker bench for a half dozen games.
Usually sat right next to Kurt Rambis and got to listen in and observe what went on during time-outs and huddles.
If it was a Laker possession and points were needed towards the end of a game, Riley would call the same play every single time.
All Riley would say is ‘two man game’ and who was in-bounding (usually Magic).
The Lakers would then isolate Worthy and Kareem on one side. The Lakers would get the ball into Worthy’s hands and he’d either take his man to the hole or dish it to KAJ. Worked every time too.
Worthy had one of the best first steps I’ve ever seen. Greased lightning. KAJ could get his shot off whenever he wanted it.
Was Riley a genius ? I don’t know. But I do know he had a play that worked and wasn’t scared of ‘going to the well’ too often with it. It was like clockwork.
Having players that can execute sure makes it easier to be a good coach.
July 5th, 2012 at 7:40 pm
Was Riley a genius ? I don’t know.
======================================
Having Worthy and Magic Johnson certainly would make anyone smarter. And the best basketball player I have ever seen was Kareem Abdul Jabbar. By Far. All that being said 99, that is an excellent post. Where Riley might have been a “genius” is “Coaching 101″. If a play works use it until they figure out how to stop it. That was something that Jon Gruden NEVER learned.

The players in the NFL on one hand are always complaining about safety with former players going so far as to pursue a class action lawsuit against the league.
On the other hand they decide to sue the league for doing something to try and protect their long term health and safety by enforcing the “bounty rule”.

Pretty soon all the teams will become generic and sterile and parity will be so common place that they’ll be forced to have a twenty eight team playoff format like the nba. Everybody wins because contact will be illegal and the fans will like it to because their team made the playoffs. Soccer will be the new contact sport but rugby will be legit. Those dudes drink a lot of beer during the game and feel no pain til they wake up the next day. Hollywood will take over what we call the nfl today and they will take the glamourization to another level like they’ve done to the super bowl half time.

@DJG
CJ37 was a good player for us. Al Davis milked more out of him than anybody else could have.
7th round pick in 2003 by the Packers. Traded after 2 seasons on the practice squad to the Rams and started 1 game for them in 2005. Spent the 2006 offseason with KC, but failed to crack the 53 man roster. 2006 = out of football. Al Davis signs him in March of 2007, no doubt due to his blazing 40 time. was pretty crappy for us as a reserve & special teamer in ‘07 as I recall. 2008 he bursts on the scene and replaces DeAngelo Hall at midseason and cashes in during the ‘09 offseason. 2010 offseason, Routt finally beats him out and starts opposite Nnamdi. CJ37 regains the starting role in ‘11 after Nnamdi bolts for Philly and gets injured right away. Then the family tragedy. His heart just isn’t in it anymore. Considering the fact that he was basically trash for his first 3 NFL teams and spend a year out of football before we signed him, CJ37 was a solid role player for us and a class act. I thank him for his contributions to the silver & black

LM on the roster bubble?
By Gregg Rosenthal
Around The League editor
The Oakland Raiders’ wide receiver depth chart was one of the thinnest in the league not so long ago. Now you could argue that it’s one of the deepest, even if we don’t know how it will shake out.
Consider Louis Murphy. He led the team’s wideout group with 41 catches and 609 yards as a 23-year-old in 2010. Now he could be fighting just to make the team.
Steve Corkran of the Contra Costa Times believes that Murphy is in a battle just to make the roster because of buzzy rookies Juron Criner and Rod Streater. Criner has looked the part all offseason despite his status as a fifth-round draft pick. Streater, an undrafted rookie, took some snaps with Oakland’s first team last month.
The top three wideouts in Oakland this year figure to be our breakout choice Denarius Moore, an improved Darrius Heyward-Bey and Jacoby Ford. That is an explosive group; all three players can take any play the distance.
While there isn’t a lot of experience or variety with this Oakland receiver collection, they will present a lot of problems for defenses. It’s an Al Davis kind of group.

July 6th, 2012 at 6:11 am
CJ37 should have been one of those guys playing in the UFL. first 4 years in the league were pathetic. 3 teams said “no thanks” and he was just a 7th rounder to begin with.
5 years as an Oakland Raider
he was a WAY better nickel corner than Routt!
you could even make a case that he was a better man2man starting CB [when healthy]
problem is, he’s always hurt & turns 33 in September. plus the family tragedy. as JFB said earlier this offseason, I wouldn’t be upset if Reggie gave him a cheap 1-year deal.
If that were to happen, he might just beat out everybody and be named the starter though!

Offseason Breakdown: Oakland Raiders
Oakland Raiders, Offseason Breakdown | Comments
After a midseason trade to the Raiders in 2011, Carson Palmer finished with a 4-3 record. Can he step it up in 2012? (ABACAUSA.COM)
With NFL training camps just around the corner, we’re taking a team-by-team look at how the offseason played out and what you can expect in 2012. Click here to read them all.
Chalk up 2011 as a year of missed opportunities for the Raiders. Despite a flawed roster and a coaching staff led by Hue Jackson that would find itself searching for work after the year ended, Oakland sat at 7-4 at the end of November and was in firm command of the AFC West.
Three straight losses over the next three weeks — including a crushing 28-27 setback to the Lions, in which Oakland coughed up a 13-point fourth-quarter lead at home — changed all that. The Raiders still had a shot to steal the AFC West in Week 17, as Denver lost, but they could not get the win they needed against San Diego.
Jackson’s out as head coach now and ex-Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen is in. As such, this figures to be a year of transition in Oakland, especially since the Raiders franchise is entering its first full season without the late Al Davis overseeing things since 1963.

DVD
Chekwa

Is that all we have at corner?
We still have Huff comparing his impact to C Wood, so will he play some corner this season too?
I still think the kid from GB has a shot. Played well in place of C Wood in the SB, I believe.

============
That’s because none of our WRs are proven. DHB got some stats, but is inconsitent, catching balls that are thrown low or the shorter type routes, but still having a load of trouble adjusting to balls thrown over his head or not on target. Once he catches short-to-mid passes he’s pretty dangerous with size and speed, but wouldn’t be a #1 on any other team. Ford and Moore showed potential, but haven’t put it together for a season consistantly. Aside from DHB, none of our guys have caught over 50 passes in a season. It’s a unit that has a ton of potential, but is all hype until they really produce consistantly.
I personally DO think they can amount to be a pretty powerful group, but that’s based on potential and glimpses of what they could be capable of.

According to that burn rate stats, DVD had the lowest burn rate on the team last year.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:07 am
Those burn rates aren’t worth an ear of corn.
Didn’t CJ37 have the 4th best “burn rate” in 2010?
Now he is out of the league!!!
July 6th, 2012 at 7:10 am
At most positions, size matters. DVD is just too small. Can you see him trying to press Megatron? Get the “F” outta here. Plus he doesn’t like to get in the “Rucous” like Woodson says. He’s usually a spectator when it comes to tackling and trhows a lazy arm out there when a guy blows past him. He’s gotta show me something different.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:11 am
Team Weaknesses: WR, TE, CB
***********
Whoever wrote this about the Raiders is far out of touch with the current situation. WR is a strength, and the lack of production historically can be tied to having journeyman QB play of Soup and Gradkowski.
Since CP3 came off the couch and averaged nearly 300 yards passing in his 9 starts, this is a lethal group. Certainly not a “weakness” of any sort.
If you want weakness, I’ll give you in no particular order:
LBs, CBs, TEs
July 6th, 2012 at 7:14 am
I agree JFB…Routt had the best burn rate in 2010 right? With some justifying the loss of Nnamdi. Yeah, but also the most penalized!
July 6th, 2012 at 7:16 am
Stanford Routt — Many fans scratched their heads when Routt was given a three-year, $31.5-million contract, with $20 million guaranteed. Would that not have been a good offer to at least throw at Asomugha? Then, after re-working the deal to clear some cap space, Routt had a five-year, $54.5-million contract, with the same $20 million guaranteed. Yes, that’s No. 1 cornerback money. But did Routt perform like a No. 1 cornerback in his first season without Asomugha on the other side of the field? In 2009, Routt allowed opponents to complete 65.9 percent of their passes thrown at him. In 2010, it dropped to 39.4 percent. This past season — 47.4 percent while giving up eight touchdowns. Plus, he was the most penalized player in the NFL, getting flagged 17 times, including nine in the last three games. So while he started strong, things came unraveled at the end. Not only for him and the secondary, but the entire defense as a unit. Routt did, however, have a career-high four interceptions.
Lito Sheppard — The two-time Pro Bowler and former All-Pro had seen better days. One of the last players cut by the Raiders in the exhibition season, Sheppard was re-signed on Oct. 31 — it marked his fourth team in four years — and started seven of the nine games in which he appeared. He would have a highlight moment here and there but the 5-foot-9 cornerback was victimized by San Diego’s tall wideouts in the season finale. For the season, Sheppard had a 58.8 percent burn rate and gave up a touchdown.
DeMarcus Van Dyke — Oakland had high hopes for the lithe Van Dyke, the fastest player at the Combine, in drafting him out of Miami in the third round. Listed generously at 180 pounds, the rookie had trouble with the bigger, more physical receivers in the league. Which is to say, most of them. His lone interception came against Matt Cassel in the Raiders’ 28-0 loss to Kansas City on Oct. 23. Van Dyke surrendered one TD and had a burn rate of 43.8.
Michael Huff — Coming off a season in which Huff was named second-team All-Pro, Huff cashed in at the bank quite nicely, thank you very much. The free safety inked a four-year, $32-million contract in camp, with $16 million paid up front. His body, though, betrayed him. Having never missed a game in his five-year career, Huff missed four in 2011 with an assortment of ankle and hamstring injuries. He did not have a sack for the first time since 2008, his two interceptions were his fewest in three years, as were his 38 tackles. Huff was charged with giving up two TDs and a 55.3 percent burn rate. There have been rumblings of moving him to cornerback opposite Routt.
Tyvon Branch — A seeming bright spot in the secondary, Branch was named an alternate to the Pro Bowl after a breakthrough season. He again led the Raiders in tackles, with 109, and his end-zone interception of the New York Jets’ Mark Sanchez in Oakland’s home opener was a thing of beauty. The strong safety’s coverage skills also seemed to improve, even as he had a burn rate of 55.7 percent, while being charged with five TDs. He is a free agent and, along with running back Michael Bush, is the Raiders’ top priority in re-signing for the 2012 season and a new coach.
Mike Mitchell — After a breakthrough sophomore season in which he was seemingly on the chopping block at the beginning of the year, Mitchell hurt a knee in camp and did not play until Week 4. And while he maintained a certain level of being an emotional leader, the safety-who-sometimes-doubles-as-a-linebacker struggled through an injury-marred season. He had 31 tackles in 13 games with an interception of Aaron Rodgers. His burn rate was 34.6 percent, and he gave up a pair of touchdowns.
Matt Giordano — One of the last players cut in camp, Giordano was back two days later and immediately made his presence felt in the season opener at Denver with a sideline interception. What the safety might have lacked in tackling skills he made up for as a ballhawk. His career-high five interceptions led the Raiders. And his 70 tackles were also a career high and were third-most on the team. The seven-year vet will also be a free agent. He had a 42.5 percent burn rate and gave up three TDs.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:16 am
DVD isn’t too small. But he plays too small.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:18 am
I think Chekwa will surprise this year! DVD got to step up! I agree, Guest, plays too small!
July 6th, 2012 at 7:20 am
We will see if DVD picked up some in-flight ball skills this offseason.
I am not sure I seen a DB look so lost with the ball in the air as he did last season, but hopefully it was a rookie, deer-in-the-headlights issue.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:21 am
Also will be interesting to see if he learned to catch.
After we drafted him, I read one scouting report that said he could have had 20 INT’s in college if he could catch.
Instead I think he had 5, lol.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:22 am
So it’s a coincidence that the best CBs like Revis, Nnamdi, Carr, etc.. have the lowest burn rates?!
July 6th, 2012 at 7:28 am
DVD could learn some in flight ball skills from King Darrius!
July 6th, 2012 at 7:28 am

Your list had MM34 with the best burn rate of our secondary, and he is easily one of our worst if not THE worst cover guy.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:33 am
When Woodson was let go, he was coming off the injury bug 2 years in a row. And also, wasn’t he in a car with a drunk chick? The move was good for him, bad for us!
July 6th, 2012 at 7:34 am
Btw, it’s not weird for a player to have one/ few good years in his career like T Scott, CJ, Wimbley, SAVAGE, etc…
July 6th, 2012 at 7:35 am
Mike Mithchell was keeoing count on the TEs he “shut down”, right?
Maybe his burn rate wasn’t that bad.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:36 am
Could you imagine Woodson still being here when Nnamdi had his break out year? Well, still wouldn’t have mattered considering we had that darn bed and breakfast offense!
July 6th, 2012 at 7:38 am
Routt would have had a bad burn rate if he didnt hold every guy he covered..
July 6th, 2012 at 7:40 am
It’s a myth that MM34 could cover TE’s. Branch was the man doing that work, and somehow an urban myth grew out of it that MM34 was somehow responsible.
Only thing MM34 has to worry about are his arm bruises along his forearms. That’s all he ever does is attempt to bring down players with arm swats. Can’t cover or tackle or do anything well.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:40 am
The Polston brothers.
That’s why C Wood isnt a Raider.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:41 am
The problem with the “burn rate” is that it only factors in completions against and TD’s.
Well, in my world there is a difference in giving up an 8 yard catch, and a 40 yard catch.
MM34 may have not had much of a “burn rate” but when he did get burned, it was for huge chunks of yards.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:41 am

July 6th, 2012 at 7:45 am

July 6th, 2012 at 7:49 am

Mitchell’s burn rate was 34.6 percent and he’s the emotional leader in the locker room

MM34 = outta the league soon.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:54 am
Missile Mike shut down Antonio Gates before, didn’t he?
several Raider fans suggest Branch is worth $7-8 mil per season because he “shut down” Gronk when we played the Pats last season
so what is Mitch worth? $3-4 mil per season?

July 6th, 2012 at 7:56 am
Guys, I’m willing to give everyone a pass this year, well, I guess through pre-season. If Big Mac and DA feel the need to cut wasted roster spaces (which is their job, right?), then we will roll with what we got! No one is safe, I believe!
July 6th, 2012 at 7:56 am
Gio is our backup FS.
July 6th, 2012 at 7:57 am
I’d rather keep Curtis Taylor or re-sign Hiram Eugene (special teams beast) as the 4th safety than pay Tyvon Branch like SD’s Weddle or TEN’s Griffith !!
TB gets burned more than half the time.

July 6th, 2012 at 7:58 am
So should we ignore guys with a high burn rate, JFB?
Branch and his 56% burn rate is terrible mayne.
And for Mitchell, shame on whoever put him as a backen S. He needs to be a traditional SS! Not a hybrid LB, no a Cover 2 S.

Its not MMs fault he got drafted 3 rds early and has been kept on scholarship by a crazy old man..

And the celebatory dances and what-not, I can certainly do without.

MM34 wouldnt be any worse than Branch given the same opportunity. beastly run stuffer & sure tackler. questionable cover skills.
Branch would have the advantage as a special teamer though. Perhaps another advantage in durability. Mitch is always “nicked”

wait, who is the starting MLB again?
nevermind … we wouldn’t notice a difference
July 6th, 2012 at 8:14 am
MM34 is not as good and physical as some people think.
He runs around a lot of blockers, a total wimp out I quit move, IMO.
In that KC game on the McCluster screen, he had a chance to make a play, but just ran himself out of the play to avoid any contact with a lineman, and was the main reason McCluster was able to go 0 to 60 so quickly and get down the field.
Did pretty much the same thing the following week on the kickoff return TD against SD.
Our season was on the line, and the “Missile” was not willing to lay his body on the line.

Raiders released/failed physical S Hiram Eugene.
Eugene, 31, was due a $2.25 million base salary. The Raiders are slashing costs, and Eugene still wasn’t fully recovered after missing all of last season with a dislocated hip. Eugene is primarily a special teamer, so he’d been vastly overpaid by the old Oakland regime

July 6th, 2012 at 8:20 am
O,
At some point, you have to go with the eye test. Branch was in a lot of man to man. Huff was a single deep S.
How do you really compare the 2?
Branch is a SS. Huff is a FS.
Let’s see what they do playing their natural positions.
July 6th, 2012 at 8:21 am
I do think MM34 is a very good blitzer, and can be successful in moving the QB’s feet around in the pocket.
Just don’t ask him to ACTUALLY sack him, because he tends to just fly past him.
But that is OK sometimes, disrupt the timing, force the QB to move around, and let someone up front clean it up.
I don’t want MM34 cut, I just don’t think he is much more than a specialist type guy.
He is like a Steve Novack. Give him one thing to do, and he may do it well. Just don’t ask or expect him to be a solid all-around player.
July 6th, 2012 at 8:21 am
if Branch gets abused at training camp like he did OTA’s , the staff is gonna give MM34 a chance to start.
hope his knee is 100% by then!
July 6th, 2012 at 8:22 am
As missles go, MM34 rates as a SCUD with no heat sinking or smart technology. Easily evaded.

MM34 shows up during blowouts, when the chips are down and everybody else has packed it in
who got the only sack on Tom Brady last year?
who forced the only turnover from Aaron Rodgers?
your boy Derrick Gibson!!
i mean, Mitchell
July 6th, 2012 at 8:24 am
Routt had a lousy year. Way too many penalties and TD’s allowed.
He didn’t come close to earning the big bucks he got paid.
Still, you get the feeling that if he ever puts it all together, he’ll be a real force.
Definitely the most physical CB the Raids had. Tremendous size and speed. Routt is one of the few guys I saw line up against Megatron that didn’t appear to be completely physically overmatched.
There was a 2 hand chuck to the chest at the LOS in Houston that Routt got flagged for (erroneously) that was absolutely devastating.
His pick against KC might have been the best defensive play any of our corners made all of last year.
KC seems to have a nose for good secondary talent.
Have seen lots of talk in here about looking forward to burning Routt as if it’s a done deal.
I’m not so sure that’s going to happen and think that Flowers and Routt are going to be a heckuva tandem and that KC has the best secondary in the division.

The timing of the blitz is so important, and both Rolando McClain and M34 seem to be pretty instinctual with it.
As opposed to STan Routt, who will be setup to blitz and have his head turned at the snap, and his blitz starts at the snap with him flat-footed and pretty much a non-factor.
He did this often. And Gio would come in on a blitz from 35 yards away, lol.
Instinctual stuff you can’t teach.
July 6th, 2012 at 8:26 am
It’s kind of hard to fault the secondary completely when our dline clearly wore out later in the season. Philly goes with an 8 man rotation to keep guys fresh. We had what, 5 or 6? Guys like Moss and Seymour got pretty worn out.

I was pissed off at the letting go of Sterling Moore too. Good teams find ways of keeping good football players when they stumble upon them. If only RM had come along a year earlier, maybe we would still have Moore.

1 for 2 for 50 yards is not good for a DB.
He played everything perfectly pre-toss on both plays, and I am sure if Kolb would have thrown it in the right area code for Fitz, he would have probably schooled him again on the second play.

that was never a competition. Stevie Brown is the guy that almost cost Mitchell his job, if the coaching staff had any power back then
Sterling Moore lost out to Joe Porter as the 5th CB behind Routt, CJ37, DVD & Chekwa
then we had a chance to re-sign him later, but opted to go with track star Ron Parker
then Hue Jax loved him some Sheppard, McCann & Ndukwe. then cut & resigned Jerome Boyd
July 6th, 2012 at 8:33 am
I hear you and I am not a bg Routt fan at all, but at times he did show some good skills. My issue was giving him that contract in the first place and not signing Nnamdi. If you were going to over pay Routt who has been burned from his rookie season to the present why over pay him for one good season?
That is where not having consistant leadership hurts the Raider’s franchise. From year to year managment is calling a C Player and A player. And A-B Player C talent that other teams swoop up. I am glad we brought in a guy like Reggie who has a proven track record of evaluating talent.

Routt had a lousy year. Way too many penalties and TD’s allowed.
He didn’t come close to earning the big bucks he got paid.
Still, you get the feeling that if he ever puts it all together, he’ll be a real force.
Definitely the most physical CB the Raids had. Tremendous size and speed. Routt is one of the few guys I saw line up against Megatron that didn’t appear to be completely physically overmatched.
There was a 2 hand chuck to the chest at the LOS in Houston that Routt got flagged for (erroneously) that was absolutely devastating.
His pick against KC might have been the best defensive play any of our corners made all of last year.
KC seems to have a nose for good secondary talent.
Have seen lots of talk in here about looking forward to burning Routt as if it’s a done deal.
I’m not so sure that’s going to happen and think that Flowers and Routt are going to be a heckuva tandem and that KC has the best secondary in the division
July 6th, 2012 at 8:34 am
Agreed, 99.
Routt’s contract was out of whack, but he would certainly be the best corner on our roster today.
Had a bad last 4 weeks penalty wise. Half of those calls were COMPLETE BS!
July 6th, 2012 at 8:35 am
Who got a sack? A fumble?….. Sad measuring sticks for this shltty D..
July 6th, 2012 at 8:36 am
Without rooting against any current Raider on the roster, I hope that players who don’t exhibit field instincts are let go this training camp. If that is a high draft pick or a surprise name, so be it. We got no room for project players that have potential. I’d prefer a group of players with lesser physical measurables and finely tuned sixth sense of knowing where the ball and the player is and ability to make plays.
July 6th, 2012 at 8:36 am
It’s just that WR’s would catch balls with Routt draped all over them. No Ball skills.
July 6th, 2012 at 8:37 am
He played everything perfectly pre-toss on both plays

Not bad for a rookie mid round draft pick going against the best WR in the league, wouldn’t you say?

Fitz ran a half-assed sideline pattern, and just beasted him for the ball.

Again, just the eye test. He was clueless with the ball in the air.

I disagree. I’ve seen him perfectly play off his man and swat the ball away just in time many times. It’s just when he’s beat and he knows it, he does the stupid arm or jersey pull and gets the flag. That’s got nothing to do with ball skills, it has more to do with his ability to shadow physical recievers who get away with contact that the refs allow WR’s these days.

according to Al Davis, you could teach a man to play football, but you couldn’t teach him to run faster than a cheetah
Routt was a project just like Van Dyke when we drafted him. a track star with “potential” but little football ability
thats why Stan Routt is finally coming on. it took him 6 or 7 years in the NFL to finally develop, like Brandon Lloyd, Rich Gannon & CJ37
July 6th, 2012 at 8:43 am
I liked Routt’s moxi and thought he really competed at times, when a lot of guys on this team were too willing to lay down.
But with that said, you can’t get paid big-boy money, and pull off an epic choke job down the stretch of the season with the playoffs in sight.
He was downright awful the last month.
July 6th, 2012 at 8:44 am
The issue with Routt is he would melt down late in games. Opponents would target him and he would not raise his game up. That was the issue with Routt. He would have a really good game til the end and then single handedly give up the game tying and game winning drives.

It wasn’t that DVD got beat on one out of two throws his direction. It was the way he got burnt. He kept perfect coverage man for man, and Kolb throw it in the narrow window anyway. Fitz made a super play, but he’s a superstar so for him that’s like a avg play. But it was embarrasing, because for all DVD shadowed Fitz, he was a harmless as a shadow to him. Completely schooled and helpless, and it began a pattern of plays where he’d shadow stride for stride and only turn his head after the ball was passed his head.
July 6th, 2012 at 8:49 am

Reggie won’t come out and say it, but I bet his expectations on what is a successful 2012 season are a lot different than ours. He’s building the team over in his image, eventually wiping out the old regime of Al Davis.
Knowing he’s got job security, come hell or high water, he’s not stressing. He’s enjoying the opportunity of the challenge to figure out how to finagle a playoff team with an arm and a leg tied behind his back. I bet it’s probably the most fun he’ll have in years, especially when expectations rise.

My only issue with this argument is ALL of our DBs were doing that.
Kinda seemed like it was being taught to play the man and try and recognize when to turn around for the ball.
Larry Fitzgerald “beasting” a ball from a rookie CB should not be held against him. The VERY NEXT PLAY he did EVERYTHING correctly against the same beastly WR.
I guess we just disagree. I see HUGE potential with DVD. I think our coaches will help him get better technique wise to at least get passes knocked down.

Hmmmm…..maybe
But I think otherwise. I believe Reggie is inherited a squad that shoulda won the afc west the last two seasons…not like he took on a 3-13 franchise….the Raiders definitely werent the 2003-2009 version so he I believe he expects these guys to come out and be successful this year
Knowing how he came from a top tier franchise in Green Bay, losing is not something he is gonna accept. 2012 is still an oppurtunity and I’m hoping he is aiming for the big prize. Al is gone but we are still the Raiders. Reggie Understands that Oakland needs a winner and no time like the present
July 6th, 2012 at 9:01 am
Lots of griping about letting Sterling Moore go.
I agree, it was a mistake. However, we should keep in mind that he was demoted to NE’s practice squad and no other team claimed him.
Moore gets credited for knocking what should have been a game winning TD out of the Raven’s WR hands. Truth is, he was burned pretty good on that play and did NOT play well before that.
My personal opinion is that Moore is a decent player, but is not a front line CB.
I think if he sticks in the NFL, he is much better suited as a Safety. Appears to have good vision and instincts when facing the ball, but does not impress shadowing WR’s man to man.

Coaches can’t yell at the corner during the play to turn his head. They can’t tell him to count on some count in his head to think of turning his neck. There’s not a cheatsheet for knowing. The good ones just know. They sense the football coming. How they do that I don’t know. It’s just instinct. You are born with it or you are not. It can’t be taught. I don’t see DVD even with coaching ever learning that part of the game. I guess I’ll agree to disagree. I respect your opinion but again don’t agree.

Kobe Bryant has a no-trade clause in his contract. Lakers brass screwed themselves with that one. They have the choice to cut a legend, past his prime and get nothing in return … or let him play out his contract and try to build around him for 1 last hurrah before he hits “worthless” status
I think they are doing the right thing. Lakers fans dont care about the future. they want to win now. thats why they are happy about getting Nash, even though it cost them 4 high draft picks. When KB’s contract is up, he’ll go elsewhere for a year or two and fall flat on his face. then the Lakers can start trying to build a bully again, instead of trying to buy one.

What old school Sux fans are you referring to? Jim Rice era of the 70’s? Yeah, they used to draw 7000 fans back in the era they sucked. They were as pathetic as Cubs fans complaining about curses and whatnot. All of Red Sux fanbase are bandwagon since 2004.

B,
Crazy things could happen no doubt, and I have more expectations this year than most years past.
Got to start 2-0 to have a chacne though, IMO. Need that division home win to start, and then the tough East Coast road win the following week.
Do that, and EVERYTHING is still on the table.

I just know Sox fans were a wild bunch that didn’t seem to be the DRew Barrymore singing a Neil Diamond song type of bunch.

I’m sorry cant agree wit ya here…Dead Sux have always had a big following becuz that area is hella old and many east coast ppl transplanted in other places. I’m sure there have been some down years as with every franchise but boston games at home or road generally bring big crowds
But I do agree about the wagon since 04….but whenever someone wins a title those ppl come along

Russillo is right. They somehow adopt the “Nation” moniker is pretentious and phony and I still don’t see them as a “Nation”. Red Sux fans I know are phony, flag waving bandwagoners/blowhards who turn on their team if they go into a losing streak. They suck and their team sucks too. They are Yankee wannabees with no such thing as the proud history they like to think they have. They ain’t fooling anyone.

@JFB
do you think Anthony Smith should get the same excuse as Junior Seau?
Poor Tony! subjected to this brutal game called football where he took multiple hits to the head in 7 years as a pro. All the pressure of being the 11th overall draft pick married to a pop star named Vanity. He lost his mind like Barret Robbins and nobody offered to help him. Blame the NFL. Blame the coaches & trainers for pushing him too hard. He gave his life to this sport and it caused him to take the lives of a few others.
Sound good?

Well i know we all naturally look ahead but those first two games are what I am looking at….remember last year we had a MNF game in denver then on a short week travel to the east coast for a 10am game
Again the NFL fks us but at least we get Chargers at home but then have to fly all the way to Miami when its gonna be 95 degrees while we wear black jerseys? Bullschit
But if we do go 2-0 it bodes well and sets us up for a big time matchup at home vs the Rapist….i cant wait til i get to meet him…he wont like what I have to say

If they figure out how to GEL and get some cohesion -and health of course- I think we’ll witness something pretty spectacular. Mindset is everything. Hope the coaches can lead them well.

Not mad at Nash….just not psyched about getting a 38 year old PG. Would have been a great move 5 years ago.

Coaches can’t yell at the corner during the play to turn his head. They can’t tell him to count on some count in his head to think of turning his neck. There’s not a cheatsheet for knowing. The good ones just know. They sense the football coming. How they do that I don’t know. It’s just instinct. You are born with it or you are not. It can’t be taught. I don’t see DVD even with coaching ever learning that part of the game.

The best play I ever made was a penalty. I lit up a running back who caught a ball in the flat…about a second before the ball got to him. I was pulled out for most of the game.

From a strategical standpoint, JFB. Not just for self motivation. If the defense sees the receiver taking a nap, they know he’s not getting the ball.

Brien, funny you mention Elk Grove. They’re the team that beat us 50-0. They were good. They had a star, wound up playing Pac 10 somewhere. I dont’ even remember his name but he ran or something like 600 yards on us.
July 6th, 2012 at 10:28 am
I don’t know if you’d call it dink & dunk, but the Stabler/Madden offense was a lot different from The Lamonica offense.
The Fred Bilitenkoff 13 yd in/out was the bread n’ butter play.
Plus they ran the ball a lot, and utilized Tight Ends a lot.

It’s too bad NFL network doesn’t show more of the ’70s games, or just games from those old eras. It’s not the same watching them on slow motion film. You have to see the live telecasts to see how good some of those QBs really were back then. How relaxed they were in the pocket, even after taking the most vicious hits. They’d have blood on their uniforms. I never realized how good of a passer Stabler was till I got a hold of this tape. His release was like art work.

Kenny Stabler’s troubles mount, owes IRS $265,000
Posted by Michael David Smith on July 6, 2012, 6:43 AM EDT
The troubled life of former Raiders quarterback Kenny Stabler isn’t getting any better.
Stabler recently lost his home to the IRS, but a federal judge has ruled that wasn’t enough to pay his debts, and he still owes more than $260,000 in unpaid taxes, plus a penalty of more than $5,000, plus interest.
It sounds as if the government may never get all that money, as Stabler’s monthly payments will be based on his income, and Stabler’s attorney, Robert Galloway, told the Mobile Press-Register that Stabler’s income is limited to occasional appearance fees at NFL events.
“He’s pretty much retired,” he said.
Stabler was seen as a colorful character during his playing days, when he was selected to four Pro Bowls in the 1970s, won the 1974 MVP and led the Raiders to the title in Super Bowl XI. But that colorful character has had a sad post-NFL life, with three divorces and three drunk driving arrests, the last of which cost him his job as a commentator on Alabama football broadcasts.

I don’t understand how these guys end up owing so much money in taxes.
How do you owe 260K, when you claim you aren’t even making much money?
To owe over a quarter million in taxes, you literally had to have close to a million dollars of income you paid zero tax on, and that’s if it is in one year. You talking 5 or 6 years, and that number just goes up.

CJ37 should have been one of those guys playing in the UFL. first 4 years in the league were pathetic. 3 teams said “no thanks” and he was just a 7th rounder to begin with.
5 years as an Oakland Raider
he was a WAY better nickel corner than Routt!
you could even make a case that he was a better man2man starting CB [when healthy]
problem is, he’s always hurt & turns 33 in September. plus the family tragedy. as JFB said earlier this offseason, I wouldn’t be upset if Reggie gave him a cheap 1-year deal.
If that were to happen, he might just beat out everybody and be named the starter though!
—
Each family has their own dynamic and I don’t claim to know what CJ’s is/was, but you’d think his sister would’ve wanted him to go on playing as hard as he could…not quit a once in a lifetime career.
I’m sure he’s a “good guy” but there’s a reason Hue let him take the rest of the yr. off.
If Carson Palmer had the same situation do you think Hue would’ve said “It’s ok. Take it easy and be with your family the rest of the yr.”
I’m just sayin’. I don’t see that happening.
I was never impressed with CJ. IMO he played exactly like the 7th rounder who couldn’t keep a gig with GB or Stl. but the Raiders thought he was better than what he was for some reason.
I personally did not see anything in him that suggested he was anything more than what anyone else thought he was before coming to Oakland.
Apparently some of you did. That’s cool.

I will freely admit I have taken down a D-blunt or 6 in my time.
We used to drive from Tracy to somewhere in the 80’s ave’s in Oakland for it.
Then one year after I graduated, someone from West HIgh ended up in a shallow grave in Hayward.

But you know, I believe that. No doubt about it, you have to have that certain go getter mentality, too. I had that when I was younger. Don’t now. And, I think that’s the case with most guys. Brien insists he’s not one of them. We’ll see. And I’d like to see the women he’s bragging on now.

Charisma and money go a long way but I can’t imagine any young ladies wanting some stinky azz, flabby old dude getting on top of them, or below them…or whatever with them.
July 6th, 2012 at 11:08 am
Just go by what you see, you guys. Any guy can say that he gets women. I’ve only seen guys over 40 with money pull good looking younger women. I’ve never seen anything to the contrary in real life. Ever.

July 6th, 2012 at 11:10 am
You don’t need $$$$ to get women if you are over 40. If anything, by this age, the pool of available women are prolly jaded about finding the perfect man, so their expectations are not the same. This is just a guess as I’ve been married for a while now.
I will say this though. I’m glad I never made it to 40 a single man. That’s sounds like it would be rough.

I was friends with this hot chick who told me that she always dates ugly guys, because she knows they’ll never cheat on her & always treat her right ..
then the ugly dude that she was with for 3 years, cheated on her with his bosses ugly daughter at work to get a promotion!!
he actually married that ugly pig, then tried to bring the hot chick back in as a side peice, because he knew she was emotionally invested after being with him for 3 years [and it worked!]

My aunt is Jehovah Witness and used to bring us to thier conventions and one thing I notice was how many very HOT chicks were with very dorky, bald fat dudes.
She told me it’s becuz they only “marry in the lord”..which means JW’s only date and marry other JW’s and there is slim pickins for eligible “brothers” for them.
She tried to set me up with a girl and she was absolutely beautiful but way too religious. The girl said that if I became a “witness” she would consider going out in a group of other JW’s with me…bowling or whatever.

The best thing, is runnin into a smokin’ hot Bizzie that winds up lovin you. Then you don’t gotta worry about money, or pullin’, or bein’ out late, or attention from ladies anymore. You get to go home and pile a hottie every night of the week…. Life is good.
July 6th, 2012 at 11:17 am
I will say this, it’s not your fault that you get balder as you grow older, maybe grayer and get wrinkles and all that. But there’s zero excuse for letting your body go to pot. Keep eating those Taco Bell late night snack packs and McDouble Cheeseburgers and biggie fries and see what happens. Dudes over 40 can’t eat like that. It’s a choice, women or fast food. Choose wisely.
July 6th, 2012 at 11:17 am
It was funner to drive to Oakland, and I guess we didn’t know the street corners in Stockton that sold it at 1pm on a school day.
Besides, how much further is it to drive from the West end of Tracy ( in 1995 BTW) to Oakland over STockton?
Maybe 20-30 minutes difference?

I have to agree that I’ve never actually seen a 40+ guy with no money hook up with a 25- hottie. Maybe because most older people have money

JFB, I’m a little ashamed in you. You always talk about Oakland being messed up, the drug, ghetto culture, etc. Now you admit you partook in this culture, going there to buy dope, putting money into it. Be nice if you admitted that from the get go, instead of acting all better than Oakland and downing the place. Talk about throwing stones from a glass house.

JFB, you always rip Oakland, and pontificate as to how much better you are than ghetto culture in general. You are ghetto. You smoked crack and bought it in Oakland. It doesn’t get any more ghetto than that. Just like a Republican. Always look at what Republicans criticize the most..we always find out, that’s what they do in their private life.

It’s early, and none of us have seen live field level reports of this years defense. It’s too early to judge. I can’t wait to see it for myself and adjust my opinion. I think some guys are going to flourish in Tarvers system and others are going to fade away and for whatever reason fail to adapt.
If getting rid of MM34 is a tradeoff for keeping Curtis Taylor, I’ll take Taylor.

yeah, maybe I’m off base. prolly am…but I just don’t see MM34 as an “aggressive” player. He runs hard but is out of position to put a clean lick on anyone. Whether its poor angles or overruning the play, he’s always playing catchup on the field and sticks his arms out there to be punished by the ball carrier. He’s like a matador. I don’t get the “missile mike” nickname. Reputation like Tarzan and plays like Jane.

a 3-4 DE is Seymour’s natural playing position. Can’t say the same for Kelly though. We should also note that 3-4 LB is McClain’s natural position and NOT 4-3 MLB. Maybe he can start playing as we expected him to when drafted. This is his make/break year.

Kelly and Seymour need some adequate depth behind them. I said that 6 hours ago. If they are fresh they are forces to be reckoned with. Hopefully one or two of the late round or undrafted guys will pan out to go with Desmond and possibly moving Houston inside.

3-Technique (4-3 Pass Rush Tackle) – Tommy Kelly
Probably the most well known of the defensive techniques, the 3-technique lines up shaded to the guard’s outside shoulder, ready to shoot the B-gap on his side of the formation. Various line shifts and defensive schemes have been developed with the express purpose of getting the 3-technique the most beneficial situation possible, which is why guys like Warren Sapp, John Randle, Keith Millard and now Ndamukong Suh have been able to rack-up sack numbers. The 4-3 Under front, discussed in our article on Hybrid defenses, was designed to isolate the weak side guard 1-on-1 with the 3-technique (or under) tackle. This player’s job is to penetrate the line of scrimmage through his B-gap and disrupt plays in the backfield, whether pass or run. Unlike the first two tackle positions, the 3-technique relies far more on speed and agility than brute strength. Oakland’s Tommy Kelly is arguably the NFL’s prototype for the position. At 6’6 and 300lbs he is quick, nimble and has the kind of burst off the ball that can make it tough for a blocker to recover position.

A defensive tackles main job is not to rush the passer. It is to take on double teams and not give ground.
I’m not going to argue with you KoolKell…you obviously don’t know what you are talking about.
Just because you include an example of the NEW YORK GIANTS Defensive Line and their amazing athletic ability in winning 2 Super Bowls does not prove your point.
July 6th, 2012 at 6:07 pm
Mr. Davis may have like to have Defensive Tackles who ALSO had the ability to rush the passer…but even he realized that rushing the passer was not their main responsibility.
Do you recall the week we traded for Seymour?
It was prior to a San Diego Monday night game. Mr. Davis signed him to help put an end to our pathetic RUSH defense.
I’d love to agree with you KoolKell, but if I did, we would both be wrong!

In most systems, yes. Not Al’s
July 6th, 2012 at 6:21 pm
If you are attempting to get me to publicly disagree with Mr. Davis, think again. I never had the pleasure of talking with him.
However:
If 1 of my defensive tackles gets doubled teamed then the match-up within the rest of the scheme is 10 on 9.
If 2 of my defensive tackles get double teamed then the match-up within the rest of the scheme is 9 on 7.
Either way, the defense is at an advantage.
This is why the Defensive Tackles Main job is to assume a double team.
Usually, only one player will get double teamed, a 3 technique in a 4-3 and a Nose in a 3-4.
July 6th, 2012 at 6:29 pm
Koolkell, did you work closely with Mr. Davis?
How do you know what he thought?
July 6th, 2012 at 6:33 pm
I know Mr. Davis said that he wanted to pressure the QB with his front 4. I’ve seen the clips on the History of the Raiders DVD.
This I am not disagreeing with.
If this is what you are referring to I think we are disagreeing about different things.
All I’m saying is a Defensive Tackle is in the game to stop the run by assuming a double team and attempting to beat it and make a play.
In the passing game, if we can get some A and B Gap push with our hands in the air when the ball is thrown then we have a guy who is more then doing his “MAIN” job.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Former Oakland Raiders defensive end Anthony Wayne Smith, whose murder trial stemming from a 2008 shooting death ended in a hung jury, was charged this week with three more Los Angeles County slayings from several years earlier.
The new criminal complaint, filed on Monday, charges Smith, 43, with a total of four counts of first-degree murder, incorporating the original case against him and the kidnap-killings of three other men – one in 1999 and two in 2001.
Special allegations listed in the complaint say the three earlier victims were tortured before being killed.
An arraignment has been set for July 17 on the new charges, and Smith remains held without bond, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Sandi Gibbons, said on Thursday.
Smith’s lawyer, Michael Evans, said his client would plead not guilty to all the charges and that the new criminal complaint came as a “surprise to all of us.”
Smith, a first-round 1990 draft pick of the Raiders, then based in Los Angeles, and an 11th pick overall for the National Football League that year, played all seven seasons of his NFL career for the Raiders, first in Los Angeles and then in Oakland.
Evans said he was informed of the new charges just 45 minutes before jury selection was set to begin on Monday in the retrial of the original case charging Smith with murder in the October 2008 slaying of an associate named Maurilio Ponce.
The first jury deadlocked 8-to-4 in favor of a guilty verdict, leading to a mistrial.
