Raiders pass in supplemental draft
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, July 12th, 2012 at 11:53 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders selected quarterback Terrelle Pryor in the 2011 supplemental draft. On Thursday, the Raiders passed on the opportunity to select Baylor wide receiver Josh Gordon, even though they attended his pre-draft workout.
Gordon was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the second round of the supplemental draft, and he was the only player taken.
The Raiders held the 14th pick of the first round and had only one shot at Gordon, as it turned out. The Browns used the No. 2 pick of the second round to nab Gordon.
Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie has said that he is fond of his draft picks. He, obviously, didn’t feel as if a first-rounder for Gordon was a value pick.
Pryor cost the Raiders their 2012 third-rounder. The Browns now are without their second-round pick for the 2013 NFL draft.
The Raiders apparently are content going into the season with Denarius Moore, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Jacoby Ford, Juron Criner and whoever else emerges from a unit chock full of intriguing prospects.

The great J. Russell is waiting until Peyton Manning goes down, Elway has Russell on Speed dial already, so it will be pretty easy.
July 12th, 2012 at 11:57 am
@hwnrdr
Do you remember when they asked Russell if he wanted to play in the UFL? He balked and said no kid ever grows up wanting to play in the UFL…
July 12th, 2012 at 11:58 am
And so, the line continues. #2 couldn’t carry Elway’s lunch (unless, of course, we’re talking’ about a whole big bag of In-N-Out greasiness!!!)

Any word (Steve or Jer) about the young wideouts working with Carson Bomber prior to training camp or is it purely vacation time these days?

July 12th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
Gordon was intriguing, but I am glad that Reggie didn’t mortgage a future pick — we’ve already got a lot of young talent on the squad — Murphy might not even make the roster TY!
July 12th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
Thanks DAV, that’s not what I was hoping for. TO can retire to the mental ward where he belongs as far I am concerned….
But if it keeps old Carson’s arm limber than so be it…

=============================================
Actually, it was worse. He said that about the CFL, where Marcus Allen’s brother had a 20-year-career at QB and where Doug Flutie was able to revive his NFL chances quite nicely.
The article also made it clear JaPaycheck was just sitting at home waiting for team to call instead of improving himself. He could have gone to the UFL last fall, racked up a few 300-yard games, and some NFL team would probably have signed him once the UFL season was oer, a la JP Losman a couple of years ago. Instead, what does he do? Sit around the barbershop with his posse and talk about old times. Whatever.

July 12th, 2012 at 12:08 pm
Gordon wouldn’t crack the top 4 on our roster. Criner as a 5th round pick is better and has none of the red flags as Gordon.
Add in the fact that the Browns are probably picking at the top of round #2, that pick is going to be like pick #33 or so. That’s a ridiculously high reach for a WR with a 3rd/4th round grade minus the off field issues.
Also think about the Julio Jones trade, Browns got Phil Taylor, Greg Little and old rookie QB Weeden. That’s a seriously one-sided deal that will sustain Cleveland’s misery for the rest of the decade.

As a high 2nd round pick, Gordon will make roughly 5M over four years, including a signing bonus of about 2-3M. First two yrs full guarantee

yes – at least that much. $7 or $8 million per year according to PFT last month
Reggie’s fault for tagging him. Should have let him test the waters in free agency. Then offer to match his highest bid, unless it was out of our price range.
Reggie may just be wanting to see what he’s got in Branch though, before breaking the bank on him. This would be a wise move imo

I wouldn’t be heartbroken if Reggie lets TB33 play out the year for 6.2M. The silver lining is no free cap space to sign unneeded scrub RB’s like C. Benson. I can live with the tradeoff.

July 12th, 2012 at 12:45 pm
I agree with RockStar. It seems like Reggie is rolling the dice on the franchise tag now, and hopefully we can work out a deal. If he plays well (and if the team does well), I think it can happen. I don’t think Reggie’s going to break the bank on him, however.

May not be a good comparison, but I was thinking of the Fairey-Niners tagging of Aubrayo Franklin. It worked out well for them.
July 12th, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Branch has yet to prove anything for us. If Branch wants to get paid, then perform like an elite safety in this league. Dashon Goldshon (spelling) in SF had more impact plays last season with that D then Branch did. This is why I like Reggie. He is going to hold the line until Branch proves himself with the new regime and scheme this year.

Nothing wrong with Reggie taking the cautious “wait & see” approach, especially if we aren’t looking to add anybody in the 2nd wave of free agency next month …
unfortunately, you can’t predict [training camp & preseason] injuries!
hopefully Reggie & Dennis are sold on our depth players

If Brees is still waiting for a deal, dont see the big deal of Branch waiting.

Kell, it’s insane. All these years people have been watching the guy in the van by the river, so to speak, while it’s the trusted institutions where most of this is going on. Just imagine a few years ago, parents in Pennsylvania getting brochures in the mail for a football camp run by Penn State’s linebacker coach. Who would think anything of it? It’s Penn State! If it’s affordable, why the heck not? This logic has been turned upside down. Jon Ritchie, who played for PSU and Sandusky, said a while back that he will never trust anyone again, anywhere. His entire sense of trust has been warped for good. He’s not alone. Sandusky and Penn State’s victims extend to basically everyone that would otherwise trust a division 1, reputable college school.

lol. It hasn’t been taboo for high school kids to have sex in about 60 years.
I shouldn’t take your bait on the gay/bestiality equation, but just understand that gay players on the Raiders, and there are some, as there are on every pro sports team, very likely do not have sex with animals as well. So your assumption is just off base.

C’mon now, I was born and raised on a ranch. My father made me work for him for free. Of course at that age I wanted to play sports and chase girls and rebelled against forced servitude. At the age of 15, I was strong and tough. My father screamed at me one too many times and I cold cocked him, straight up on the jaw. Took him a few minutes to get up off the ground.
After that I was free to do what I wanted.
If Sandusky or JoePa had tried anything on me they would have got the same thing my father got. Everyone, including the parents of the boys, enabled these guys to do what they did.
When ole JoePa got run down and busted up by a Penn State player, I told my self that old man has had enough.
To me he was a lot like AD, wasted, demented, and way too old for the job.
I say, screw them all. I hope Sandusky gets killed in prison.

dave
no doubt sir. with NAPALMER gunning them on intermediate quick strikes, to short/long cross field routes, and deep track team speed routes for long TDs(something that for some reason went unnoticed by every Raider hater and non-fans alike in the the world)… these receivers will benefit greatly, as he will from them.
everyone remembers when TO and ochostinko were benched on his own instructions two years go, right? it’s hard for me to forget it since it wasn’t that long ago.
CP3 rolled with: Shipley, Gresham, Simpson, & Caldwell
that was his rotation for the last part of the season, which he then started getting win after win with a big arm.
so that was 2010, and last year we all know what happened. good games, with only a few bad games(that’s what happens when a tard like Hue throws someone in a moving vehicle) … what did people expect him to do?=
when you throw in the fact that Hue Jackson SUCKED AT PLAY CALLING, and not to mention, were the most penalized team in NFL history(esp. on defense which also killed Palmer’s chances for a playoff birth) … i like the man’s chances in a modern day WCO with these very skilled, young receivers.
minimizing his INT’s, cutting down on false starts, and getting the ball out quickly before a big hit, will FOR ONCE help a RAIDER QB to be a top 10 talent in the NFL.
July 12th, 2012 at 7:53 pm
The Raiders are one of the most penalized teams, year in and year out since I was a kid 50 yrs ago.
Hue Jackson traded for Carson Palmer
The Raider offense was exciting, even without DMAC
July 12th, 2012 at 7:57 pm
All the Hue Haters, give Bresnahan a free pass. They don’t want to blame Al Davis’ DC.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:00 pm
One of the more interesting things about this offense is Knapp, Kubiak and Dennison used Schaub much more athletically than you would have thought. And they plan to do the same thing here with Palmer. I think it’s a good idea. Palmer is more athletic than most will give him credit for.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:01 pm
All the Hue Haters, give Bresnahan a free pass.
=============================
No, we hold Jackson responsible because he did nothing to help the defense. He just watched it go down the loo while he was getting his nails done.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:03 pm
I will tell you another reason why I like this pick up of Underwood. OSU does a good job of developing DBs for the pros. They are fast, they have to cover, but in the Big 10 you have to be physical as well. You better know how to lower your shoulder and make a tackle or you get embarassed guick!!!
OSU said he was one of the most talented DBs to come through OSU. The down fall is he did not want to be student and flunked out of OSU. So he finished his college career at Cincinnati (6′1, 4.48 40X, 36 1/2 vertical jump. coming out of college).
Yeah man Reggie does his research! That is why Greenbay picked him up. Small risk, why not?

July 12th, 2012 at 8:09 pm
yes Hue had NO IDEA how defenses worked… it was painfully obvious. that’s not what a true NFL HC is like, is it?
even better question ….why isn’t he running the show anywhere else ?!
what’s not his fault was chucky B’s hiring, and he couldn’t very well drop him mid season and get anyone better … he was stuck with the man
the COMBINATION of that ineptitude between the two now busted down HC’s is why we didn’t make the playoffs like we should have.
i believe that changes this year. DA, Knapp and Tarver won’t be the best, but they’ll score a lot of points and prevent more big plays than the worst defense of all time did in 2011…
that much i know.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:10 pm
*busted down coaches
not HC’s
July 12th, 2012 at 8:11 pm
Underwood is a bit of a problem. He got booted out of Ohio State because he couldn’t make grades, and has had more than one run in with the law, at least one charge that was pretty serious. Underwood has to straighten his ass out.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:14 pm
Pat Lee is a high draft choice that had Woodson playing in front of him. He has played well in big games. Lee I think has a chance here.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:19 pm
SB,
we’ve seen jail bird players at least be solid contributors ala Plax and even Simpson(mr. front flip TD) for the Bungholes… just to name a couple
if he can be a good nickle CB or contribute on ST’s … then so be it.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:21 pm
Lee does, i agree. better than Underwood, DVD, or even Spencer at this point. hopefully he’s a good value signing and can contribute solid coverage in any scheme.
i’m really not worried about Bartell. we will see how he does when he puts his neck into big tackles … if it will hold up or not. barring that train wreck, they may have struck FA gold with him.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:23 pm
Pat Lee has been bit by the injury bug. When he is healthy he plays well. Hopefully Underwood can concentrate on football, and get serious. If so, he can be a very good player.

Al may be gone, but his worshipers are alive and well, and so is the message. Check out the carefully worded comments, blaming Hue Jackson for last year’s defense instead of Al’s guy, Breshnehan, who already dismantled one good Raider’s defense a decade ago.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:26 pm
AD in his latter years was a burned out hack: a shell of a man caught in the NFL the way it was 40 yrs ago. The main problem the past decade, besides AD, with the Raiders is that the staff lacked expertise in the requirements to play football in the NFL.
For instance, to all the Nnamdi lovers out there: most in this blog, including Corky swore and be damned that Nnamdi was a “shut down” corner. Nnamdi was mediocre at best. Did Nnamdi impact the Raiders whatsoever in his 8 seasons? No. Actually Nnamdi is on the lower tier of CBs and won’t even be remembered after he retires. 11 INT’s in 9 seasons?? Gio had 5 last season as a backup end. The most that can be said about Nnamdi is that he is a “no shut down, shut down” corner.
Now consider Raw Lewis. He personally, through talent and strength of will to win, pulled the Ravens up by the bootstraps and made them Superbowl contenders every year for the past 12 years. Nnamdi can’t even compare to Ray Lewis in terms of impact, talent, and charisma.
I believe in Reggie and his staff; I feel they know the level of game, commitment and force of will required to win in the NFL.
Now we had a pimp last year for HC. The year before that we had a brawler who broke his assistant’s jaw. Before that we had an odd collection of underperforming staff and a fat, dumb, purple drank sipping slug, whose only skill was the ability to throw a football 80 yards in the air.
Most importantly, we had AD tied around our neck, like a putrifying anchor, totally out of it.
Have patience friends, the Raiders will be back.

You blamed Al for years, because he was the head guy. But you don’t want to blame Jackson because he was the head guy. That doesn’t make sense. What are you afraid Al was going to come back from the grave like a zombie looking to munch on brains?
July 12th, 2012 at 8:29 pm
If Hue Jackson were allowed to pick his own staff last year, the defense has to be better, considering the patch work, Davis minion defensive staff he was stuck with. Raiders probably end season 2 games better, which would put them at 10-6.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:31 pm
Al was there for part of the season last year, Seymour. I’d say a GM that has total control of personnel being with a team until October can certainly share some of the blame in them missing the playoffs.

it was a combo of everything kept the Raiders out of the playoffs ..
i’m an Al fan, as any Raider fan should be… it would be idiotic not to be, seeing as the majority of this team that is about to blow it up in 2012 consists of primarily AL DAVIS HAND PICKED PLAYERS ….
the man IS THE RAIDERS … you don’t have to be a diehard Al lover or even a fan to know this. Haters knew it… and his legend is here and will remain.
with that said, his selection for our 2011 DC, Chucky B, was a complete bust and cost this team the playoffs. he wasn’t in the league when Al hired him, and isn’t now or ever will be again! that is a fact, whether you hate Al for it or not.
every owner/GM in any sport makes the same kind of mistakes … so over all Al Davis is a top 3 football mind of all time.
RIP AL DAVIS

Seymour, nobody was afraid of Al. You poor thing.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:35 pm
xraided,
Now wait a minute…
Seymour is saying that Al can’t be blamed for last year’s season because he was dead, and that Hue was the man. Now you’re saying that if we have a good season this year, it’s because of Al?
This is why you Davis worshipers are just a boat load, man. You guys will contradict each other more often than not. We can just sit back and eat pop corn.

That’s the point, the defense continued to get worse and worse. GB could have put up triple digits on us if they didn’t scale back. Miami pasted us. By that time Davis was cold and in the ground. Hard to blame a guy cold and dead for a team getting worse and worse when live coaches are getting their nails done.

it was a mixture of all that.
that’s what is the encouraging part, is it not?
this team has stability from blue collar players brought on, mixed with a great core of NFL talent speed demons thanks to the Al Davis … his picks from from the last 3 or 4 drafts will cash in this upcoming season…
why else do you all think BigMac is savin up money and not free spending? he wants to be able to retain his current BEASTY roster in the near future.

I’ve been a Raider fan since before most people who comment here were born, and I was no fan of Al Davis. The Gruden trade was the dumbest sports related decision ever made by any team’s upper management in the history of professional sports. Notice that it divided the Raider Nation in half. Before Gruden, the nation was never divided. Not over the L.A. move, not over Marcus Allen. Gruden trade was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The loyalist fan boys stood by Al, everyone else couldn’t wait for him to leave. I’d hate to see him leave the way he did, but nonetheless, the organization is far better for it.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:41 pm
Gruden hasn’t been picked up by anyone. What does that tell you? Al was a genius for fleecing the Glazers for that hack. Gruden is better in the MNF booth.

yes it’s the truth.
i was at the DET game when i catched Megatron TROUT DOWN FIELD SLOWLY against a constant out of position defense that couldn’t even get a pick in triple coverage…
he caught all 3 of his TD’s right in front of me, including the game sealer after that 99 yd drive.
ITS OKAY THOUGH! why?
Tarver will blitz a lot like Marshall did… at least we killed our division with all that blitzing… that depends a lot of SHO-nasty, he’s our Aldon Smith here across the bay… we need that man badly just as the Whiners need that stab victim.
July 12th, 2012 at 8:41 pm
by Tarver i mean Dennis Allen
July 12th, 2012 at 8:42 pm
And that was ANOTHER of the long line of league rule changes because of Al. Now you can’t trade coaches anymore. Another Hall of Fame fleecing…
July 12th, 2012 at 8:43 pm
Tarver, Allen and McKenzie all realized we needed better play in the secondary. Hue Jackson couldn’t figure that out for some reason.

July 12th, 2012 at 8:47 pm
remember that opening MNF game against the Donko’s at home with Hall? that was EVERY GAME last season with our putrid play calling… this secondary will be sound and not allow all the big plays they did last year(#1 in the NFL, right?)
July 12th, 2012 at 9:04 pm
are any of you guys as worried as i am about our back-up running back position?? i have high doubts that a jones/goodson back-up tandem will be enough if/when dmac gets hurt.. shouldnt we have a guy behind dmac that can pound the rock 20-30 times a game for knapps run first offensive play style????

July 12th, 2012 at 9:10 pm
Goodson is a very solid under the radar signing for us. He has excellent running skills, is a solid receiver and very much understands the game. Do we need one more ball carrier? Sure. And we will find one.

Gruden woulda been nothin without Al. It is only co-incidence he met Al in the Super Bowl. Gruden took Dungys’ team and got them over the hump. Gruden got lucky, he was in the right place at the right time. Anybody else woulda ate his balls for breakfast, and slurped his bunghole for dessert. Al trusted Callahan way to much.

Gruden told Al he wanted to leave and go home to FL with his family, etc … Al got picks out of him … went to a superbowl anyway without him. Gruden inherited a team NOT BUILT HIMSELF AT ALL(Dungy’s work) … and beat the Raiders with the same playbook.
what did CHUCKY do since with TB? one playoff appearance in nearly a decade?! he can’t build teams.
people say he brought in Gannon and Rice … but that was more of Bruce Allen as our GM than anything else.
all in all, Al gave the man what he wanted and he bit us in the azz. had it been anyone else but Gruden coaching in the SB, we would have a 4th ring.
July 12th, 2012 at 9:25 pm
Gannon lived off of short and intermediate throws … we dont have Rice or Brown, but we have players capable of separating in those same kind of routes, and CP3 has quick arm to get it to them on time like Gannon did. MVP? probably not, but top 10′ish stats? hell yes.
DHB with his hook routes and cross overs, Ford in the slot, Moore streaking down field … throw in Criner over the middle and a combo DMC/Reece out of the backfield, there’s no way our QB will fail.

July 12th, 2012 at 9:37 pm
my top 5 areas of concern for our team as it stands:
1. defense/linebackers- mcclain isnt cutting it, curry and wheeler are our best linebackers (thats not a good thing) we have a good up and comer in burris and possibly stupar, but both are raw rookies.
2. offense/back-up running back- jones is too small to be an every down back although i think he is an excellent change of pace back, goodson is a huge question mark to be trusted as a reliable back-up option(in case of dmac injury)
3. offense/tight end- myers isnt a bad temporary fix in a pinch, but for the entire season ??? ausberry looks like a vernon davis-type tight end threat, but with only 2 catches for 14 yards to date, he is very raw and unproven.
4. defense/secondary- although we “shored up” our cornerback position with the additions of spencer and bartell, we dont really have much reliable depth behind them other than the obvious ( dvd, checkwa ) and even they arent completely reliable options to be an every down player in case of an injury. spencer hasnt played well of late and bartell is coming off a neck injry, both could be ok and both could also flop – gio and mitchell are our replacements behind branch and huff (i think they should be fine)
5. cap space- this is my least area of concern for a reason, reggie! i think we are in good hands and headed in the right direction, but as it stands we arent looking too great (under 1 mil.) we need cap space more than ever right now to bring in depth, but that wont happen unless there are more restructures or branch signs long-term.

I realy don’t understand the Hue “hate” on here. What is it about him that elicits such disdain?
He didn’t win enough games? He took the job held by the beloved Tom Cable? What is it?
I do not believe he was fake crying after the Houston game, or that everything he did was an act.
Watch his reaction after Jano hits that game winner against KC. He was emotionally drained.
He wanted to win more than anybody. He did the best he could.
It seems everyone wants to villify him cuz as a 1st yr. HC he didn’t win a Super Bowl.
Yeah he made some questionable decisions…what coach hasn’t?….especially 1st yr. HC’s.?
I don’t get why guys feel he was a “liar” and a “snake oil salesman”. Is it cuz he said he was gonna fix the penalty ‘issue’ and he didn’t? What coach ever has for the Raiders?
I feel bad for the guy. He put his heart and soul into the Raiders. I’ll never believe he was “faking” it.
His Raider tenure was .500. There have been a heck of alot worse for us who get way less “hate” than Hue.
I don’t buy that he was an insincere “liar” and “charlatan”.
Most of you disagree with me on that. So be it and we move on.

Regarding our defense: it takes no genius to know that when corners are running with WR’s, corners are supposed to read WR’s body language as to the incoming pass. All you have to do then, is leverage out position with your body and stick your hand up to knock the ball away.
We couldn’t even do that! Why do you think Rod Woodson, at season’s end ran like hell with his tail between his legs?
And as to fat azz Richard Seymour, he did nothing except catch personal fouls, marching us the wrong way down the field.
Reggie should have held a news conference and canned him the day the season was, in a double up with Hue.

You can’t blame the Lions loss im AL when all we had to do is stop one player, and we couldn’t do that. Our MLB and backup SS covering one of the best WRs in the game (6′5, 230, fast, and catches everything in his zone) in the last 2 mins?!?!

I hear you O. I don’t dispute that he made alot of mistakes that cost the team. Alot of the criticism I’ve heard goes beyond his abilities..or lack thereof as a head coach and into the idea that he’s a bad person…a “liar” and worse.
Was he self promoting? I guess.
Let’s face it. All coaches are “liars” to some degree. If a coach says he’s gonna fix something and it turns out he doesn’t…does it make him a liar? I don’t see Hue as being more aggregious than anyone else in that regard.
I did feel that he wanted it as bad as any of us and did what he felt would get us more wins. He definitely made some wrong decisions, but imo he wasn’t a “bad guy”.

I’ll admit, I was a big Hue fan. Like what he did with the O. Made a pretty decent Soup with limited ingredients.
But let’s fact it. The penalties were unacceptable, despite whatever handcuffs Al puts on his coaches. Setting a record in penalties is despicable. Some of his in-game decision making was off and he whipped out his crank a little too often in games. Going for a TD on 4th and goal when a FG will ice the game is ridiculous. The final transgression was that he conducted himself poorly to finish out the year and flexed his muscles a bit much. I think this is what did him in, honestly. Yes, Reggie may have wanted his guy, but had Hue been in good graces with Mark, he may have insisted with the new GM that Hue be given another year or two. Hue saying that he wanted input on selecting the GM and wanted someone in line with his thinking/plan was the nail in the coffin.
There’s a reason he didn’t get a sniff from other teams and is back with his buds in Cincy, folks.

O, your numbers go from 1989 – 2002 then you skip to 2010. C’mon dude, don’t insult me, asking if I can read.
Do you really think this is the first time I’ve gone over these numbers?
July 12th, 2012 at 11:18 pm
I agree O. He didn’t get the job done and he’s not considered to be HC material by most. I’m just talking about the perception of him being this lying no good snake oil salesman.
I think the guy did the best job he could based on his abilities…which apparently wasn’t good enough.
When I think of ‘bad guy’ Raider HC’s I think of a guy like Lane Kiffin who left the Univ. of Tenn. in shambles…Talk about “snake oil salesman”. You could argue that Cable was a worse guy for hitting Randy Hanson in the face and cheating on his spouse. I say that and I don’t dislike Cable per se.

================================
Clearly, not. My point was that it broke the all-time record. One which stood since 1998, when KC committed 158 in a season. That’s quite an accomplishment, even for a Raider team.
July 12th, 2012 at 11:24 pm
I didn’t skip, but I dont have to list every year for you to show that your claim is not true. All I have to do is list the years he was .500 or better and I did.
He finished 8-8 or better 13/23 years. That’s not “sub .500 since 1989″.
July 12th, 2012 at 11:27 pm
Most don’t understand: AD was demented in his later years. He wouldn’t and couldn’t hire staff who would win. The reason was is that the Raiders were all he had left; if he hired an excellent staff including GM, they would have eclipsed him, and he, deranged as he was, couldn’t stand for that. Why do you think he hired schlub and schlub as HC and DC? It was a matter of control and he could just not give it up. If one cuts off his child’s leg, the child won’t ever leave home and that is exactly what AD wanted.
This theory is easily demonstrated by what amounted to Jon Gruden’s firing. AD’s all encompassing ego would rather let the ship sink than to give credit to another who would outshine him.
It was a sick mentality and that God it’s gone.
July 12th, 2012 at 11:28 pm
You can say he was sub .500 from 2003 – 2009 and that would be an accurate statement, but he wasn’t sub .500 since 1989 as you claim..

There was a lot of argument about past Raider records and performances last night. I am trusting in Reggie to move this regime to where it’s actually on-par with the other franchises — without Al, we are truly moving to a higher plateau. The big question I have now is: How long will the Raiders stay in Oakland?
July 13th, 2012 at 5:33 am
The Raiders are not leaving Oakland. They are going to get a 3 year extension with reasonable short term upgrades, and Coliseum City is going up shortly after that. No one is going to poach away our beloved Raiders. Mark Davis will see to that.
July 13th, 2012 at 5:47 am
Since it was asked why the Hue hate:
Here’s my list of reasons
1. Talked about “building a bully” only to be slapped around on Sundays and being all emotional on the sideline crying like a menopausal woman.
2. Talked about cleaning up the penalties, and even brought in refs in practices (which worked for awhile) then said to hell with it after Al died.
3. Needless shook up the WR chemisty bringing in washed up TJ Housh when the young WR corp needed to grow up on the field and needed the extra reps.
4. Heavyhandedly traded and overspent/mortgaged the Raiders future for Carson Palmer. While I think this may be a very good trade, he shouldn’t have had that kind of authority to make those deals or have that influence.
But the main reason I hate Hue, (and I’ll not even mention his nail salon visits)…
5. Classlessly throwing Jason Campbell under the bus with his “now we have a real QB” comment. That was totally uncalled for especially after the leadership role that Campbell had in the unofficial offseason. Soup was a class act and worked all season with Palmer and Boller rehabbing and earning his paycheck when he could have just laid up on the couch.
All the while Hue was waxing his nails and mugging for the camera, and acting like he was some kind of annointed GOD of the Raiders. His megolomaniac ego was outta control. It felt like a relief to see him go, and I took some vindictive pleasure to see him go back to Cincy to be their waterboy for the secondary. He fell high off his perch and ended up grovelling for an NFL job. That’s what the league thinks of Hue “used car salesman” Jackson.
July 13th, 2012 at 5:47 am
Guest:
I hope you’re right, but the stadium is a mess – especially compared to other cities. The Warriors have already migrated across the Bay, and there’s still the fear of the A’s going south. If the Raiders franchise rises from the ashes (as it will), there is simply too much corporate value to stay in the 0.co, or whatever the hell it’s called now.
July 13th, 2012 at 5:52 am
Glad Seymour pointed out to KoolKell the massive shift in philosophy mid-stream for the Bronco’s offense last year.
Hue could have tried something, HELL ANYTHING, for our defense last year after watching us give 5 consective TD’s to Ryan Fitzpatrick in a half, or the close to 90 points we gave up in back-to-back weeks against GB-MIA.
The Bronco’s went from throwing 40 passes a game to 15, and ended up leading the NFL in rushing easily, and winning the division.
Hue could have at least failed trying, and I wouldn’t fault him for that. But doing nothing is/was deplorable.
July 13th, 2012 at 5:53 am
It’s really funny how most of the former Raider coaches haven’t really done much, after leaving. Hue and Cable are both toting lunch pails for their respective teams; Norv is – well – Norv; Callahan never could make it in the pros; Shell should have never tried to be the head coach at all (but God, I loved him as a player!), and Kiffin just goes running around, trying to be the BMOC and wrecking everything in his wake. That leaves Gruden, Flores, and Madden as the three stand-alones of excellence.
July 13th, 2012 at 5:56 am
Hue didn’t have his hands in the defense though. Did he have any authority over Bresnahan on the field? If so, it didn’t feel like it. Bresnahan was overmatched, and it seemed like the offensive coordinator always had the right play call to defeat his scheme. Whatever he was doing, whether it was strict implementation of Al’s defense, or lazy predictable defensive schemes it wasn’t working. The QB under center was probably glancing up over center and smiling a little while he barked out the snap count.
July 13th, 2012 at 5:58 am
When I looked back over game tapes, I saw one particular play that stood out. On that last touchdown that the Raiders gave up to the Lions (and this after having them pinned down at their own 2), Stafford’s pass goes right across the middle — and there’s RoMac, WAY out of position to do anything – and he just jumps up and helplessly swats at a ball that he could never get to, even if he had super mad hops. The Raiders season (and #55) could be summed up accordingly — high expectations, underwhelming performances, caught out of place, a step slow, and a touchdown short.
July 13th, 2012 at 5:59 am
Bresnahan should have been renamed – Here’s My Hand!

Simple reason for the Hue hate.
He was full of himself and never took accountability.
Watch the NFLN replay of the Lions game. After we failed on that 4th and 1 pass to D-Moore they show post-game interviews for Hue and Palmer.
Hue says the refs missed the call, but it was a great call, and didn’t have an impact on the game, and he would do it again, again because it was such a great call. He had it right, the refs and his players blew it basically.
Palmer then says it was a tough call for the refs, and takes 100% of the responsibility for not making a good enough throw.
One quote from a leader, one from a self-serving front runner.

http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/07/13/three-years-of-pass-blocking-efficiency-guards/

The way they reacted to adversity and accounted for themselves showed the younger man by a dozen years or so was much more mature. I have grown to appreciate Carson for that, and became quickly disenfranchised with Hue at the same time.

I don’t think that is a big shock. If you’ll look at the roster, there’s a lot of young talent along the front line — Cooper can help the young guys develop, but he might not last too much longer in Oak-town.

July 13th, 2012 at 6:20 am
Raidertbone,
I think it’s a given that at his age, Coop is in his last year. It’s possible that he’s overtaken by midseason by rookie 3rd rounder Tony Bergstrom. At least that’s the hope. Coop does run block well, and that’s this teams bread and butter. Bergstrom can certainly learn a few tricks from that old dog.
July 13th, 2012 at 6:20 am
Savage has struggled in pass protection, no doubt.
He tries to even it out by being elite in the screen game, and never getting flagged while being solid in the run game.
I still think this will be Cooper’s swan song season before he heads off into the retirement sunset, and I would love nothing more then to get my man a playoff start.
July 13th, 2012 at 6:22 am
I agree Dirt Lot!
July 13th, 2012 at 6:23 am
I see Cooper coming in as a seasoned backup when one of the starters goes down to injury. Wiz, Veldheer, Barksdale (maybe), Bergstrom, Briesel – these are all guys I’m keeping my eye on.
July 13th, 2012 at 6:25 am
Savage is going to start training camp and the first preseason game as the starter.
From there, it should be open competition, but the youngster will definitely have to beat him out for it.
Anything close or even a draw, and they will go with the savy vet to at least start the year.
Can’t have the rookie missing a blitz read, and hurting our QB the first month of the season.
July 13th, 2012 at 6:27 am
Wow, 45 years of memories!
I can respect the sentimental value of the concrete palace. But it’s well past it’s useful life now, and was built for a different generation with different needs. The next generation is addicted to high tech toys and gadgets and they need to always be “plugged in” even while watching a live sporting event. The amenities also need to be brought up to date, the same way you move from a 1970’s ranch home to a modern Spanish tile Mediterranean home. It’s past time to put good old OA Coliseum to rest.

I like old Coop. I appreciate what he brings every Sunday in terms of his motor. At his age, he brings it consistently. But I definitely am hoping he gets beat out in training camp or early in the season and we can turn the page. I have a feeling old Coop won’t give up his spot without a fight.
July 13th, 2012 at 6:30 am

I like TB33. I think he deserves a reasonable extension with some nice guaranteed dough. But Reggie knows what the market value is and is going to stick to his guns. TB33 is probably kicking himself that Al Davis is no longer around. But if he doesn’t cave to the middle on his contract demands, Reggie will pay him his 6 mil and see about next year. It’s really a no lose situation and Reggie’s holding the pair of aces at the table.

If Reggie is offering $4-5 million per season, Branch should just take it.
like JFB said a few days ago, he’s a $2-3 million per season player!
I personally hope he holds out for big money. That way if he blows, BigMac can just go find him a new safety as opposed to being stuck with a guy
July 13th, 2012 at 7:26 am
if Reggie wouldn’t have tagged Tyvon Branch, he’d already be in the fold on a 4-year $16 million contract
being tagged for a young player is like winning the jackpot, unless you’re already established as the top player at your position like Drew Brees
July 13th, 2012 at 7:27 am
I said Branch has played like a $2-3 million per so far.
I know contracts are meant to project into the future the players value, but that is a big leap saying Branch should get his salary quadrupuled, FOR THE NEXT 4-5 YEARS.

Report: Few deals expected for franchise-tagged players
Posted by Darin Gantt on July 13, 2012, 10:20 AM EDT
With the clock ticking on the 14 franchise-tagged players who haven’t signed long-term deals, the prognosis is mixed on whether more than a few will get a contract or play out their one-year tenders.
Jason LaCanfora of CBSSports.com said “perhaps only three or four deals will actually get struck,” before Monday’s deadline, based on conversations with league sources.
He counts Drew Brees among the likely to get done, based largely on the fact it’s inconceivable to other general managers that the Saints wouldn’t do what’s necessary to lock him up. Brees himself is optimistic, but it seems like the assumption he’ll be signed is stronger than any evidence of movement.
LaCanfora also cites Bears running back Matt Forte as likely, claiming “considerable progress,” and mentions Raiders safety Tyvon Branch as “the closest of all this group to a deal.”
LaCanfora said a source with knowledge of the Patriots talks with wide receiver Wes Welker termed it “50-50” that a deal gets done.
Otherwise, it sounds like it could be a slow weekend for most of the tagged players.
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/07/13/report-few-deals-expected-for-franchise-tagged-players/
July 13th, 2012 at 7:29 am
I don’t even think it’s about $$ per season. Makes no difference if we are talking about $2-$3 mil or $4-5 mil. What Branch should be angling for is guaranteed money. He’s got $6 mil gtd on the table. He should look for a deal where he gets about $15 mil gtd over 5 years, knowing the contract could be null by the end of year 3. So he still gets a nice but reasonably lower salary in exchange for career security.
If he can’t see the tradeoff is worth giving up a few bucks, then pay him for his one year and let him walk. I’d love to have him long term though.
July 13th, 2012 at 7:30 am
4 and 16 sounds good to me.
I just don’t want the 5 and 42-type that Al loved to heap on his players.

I happen to think that Branch is going to take a huge leap forward this season.
I think he will be put in a position to do what he does best, and that would be to play a traditional strong S role. Not a backend S, corner, and other crap.
Give the man one job, and let him develop.
July 13th, 2012 at 7:33 am
How does LaConfora know about Branch being “closest to a deal” and our own Corkran not have some inside scoop or leak out a little speculative nugget? Why is it always cut and paste from NFL.com?

I hope we don’t come to an agreement with Branch. Let the coaching staff see if they can make something out of him before giving him a big contract.
The dude has had one decent year in the NFL so far….and I question how good he really even was last year.
July 13th, 2012 at 7:50 am
Elton Brand would be a nice addition to the Lakers…..when Bynum goes down Gasol can slide into the C position and Brand will start at PF.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Rockets, should they go ahead with their widely reported plans to release starting power forward Luis Scola via the NBA’s amnesty clause, are prepared to absorb the contracts of Jason Richardson, Glen Davis and Chris Duhon — in addition to sending Orlando multiple future first-round picks and recent draftees — to give the Magic an opportunity to wipe their payroll virtually clean for their post-Howard rebuilding effort….
Sources say that the Rockets would have to send Kevin Martin, Patrick Patterson, Marcus Morris and Chandler Parsons to the Magic from their current roster to make the salary-cap math work, as well the draft rights to Jeremy Lamb, Royce White and Terrence Jones, all selected in last month’s first round.
The Rockets, in addition, would also have to waive a handful of players with non-guaranteed contracts (Shaun Livingston, Courtney Fortson, Josh Harrellson, Jerome Jordan, Jon Leuer, Diamon Simpson and Greg Smith) to clear sufficient cap space. But Houston, sources say, is also offering multiple first-round picks to the Magic, including a potential lottery pick acquired this week from Toronto in the Kyle Lowry deal.
All of that to get Howard, who has said he would not re-sign in Houston and would become a free agent. It likely is a rent-a-Howard situation.
And it’s a good move — the Rockets have been stuck in the NBA’s safe and comfortable middle ground and need to get out of it. If they get Howard and keep him, they have their star and can build around him. If they fall short or if he comes then leaves, they struggle for a couple years but get high draft picks (not the middle of the road ones they had) and they get a star that way. Either way, they break out of their rut.

When I looked back over game tapes, I saw one particular play that stood out. On that last touchdown that the Raiders gave up to the Lions (and this after having them pinned down at their own 2), Stafford’s pass goes right across the middle — and there’s RoMac, WAY out of position to do anything – and he just jumps up and helplessly swats at a ball that he could never get to, even if he had super mad hops. The Raiders season (and #55) could be summed up accordingly — high expectations, underwhelming performances, caught out of place, a step slow, and a touchdown short.
—————————————————–
RB – I know exactly what play you are talking about but at the same time lets talk about scheme. What is the LB doing on Calvin Johnson in the deep thirds of the field in crunch time? Hated he was to stiff to make that play and hated that they put a LB on the best WR in the league during crunch time.
I hated the defensive play call more than I did the play not being made.

I never chose to believe the reports and innuendo that Joe Pa could be directly linked in covering up for Sandusky, but he did more than that. He enabled it to happen, which is disgusting. I can’t fathom being a party to abuse of at-risk disadvantaged children. There’s just no way to excuse that. No way the Paterno family can say “nobody’s perfect”. Any accolade, any library, statue, any scholarship or honor that has anything to do with the Paterno name should be erased from record. Any highlights of Penn St. glory days or Nat’l Championships should be burned. That school should get the death penalty, and it should be for more than just 5 years.

With the JoePa statue….would that be up to the school to decide what they want to do with it? Do they honor the man that accomplish so much even though it was marred in the end? Or do they just wipe the slate clean and remove it from site?

So true a bunch of Raider haters that know ESPN and the talking heads can get some rating by bashing the Raiders they do the same at PFT little Florio the j3w ex lawyer turned football gossip columnist has short mans complex and a backwoods West Virginia inbreed outlook on the NFL.

How about we just say Al made 4 Super Bowls in 24 years before FA, and 1 in 23 years after?

Al was better before FA, but he wasn’t as bad after FA as some claim. His teams finished .500 or better 13/23 seasons since 1989.

already mentioned earlier, lynch anyone who tries to handcuff themselves to the statue. Show them pictures of the boys and men who are so messed up in the head that they will probably never recover to have a normal life. Split image JoePa/Sandusky on sandwich boards to break their will. People will eventually give up.

One could argue though, O, that yes, Al was .500 or better during 13/23 years, however, HIS Committment to Excellence went down hill! With all the $$$ spent, why did we not get there on more than one occasion! Being stiff with the coaches? Whatever it may be, it is now behind us! What will THOSE PEOPLE blame if we have an average year this year! DOn’t matter, I’m looking ahead! And still…RIP Al!
July 13th, 2012 at 11:00 am
I remember the glory days when the Raiders always had above .500 records. Heck that wasn’t even a topic of discussion. It was how to break thru the AFC Championship games against the Steelers every year. I remember the dominant MNF record we had and how it seemed an automatic win when the silver & black played on Monday Night.
So hearing about a better than .500 record as the new baseline of success really feels bitter to me now.

I agree that Al’s “committment to excellence” slogan took a backseat to him being the prime mover in that process. Al couldn’t take a back seat to anyone, and never evolved with the game to adapt to the new rules, free agency, new schemes. He was a pioneer of the modern game, a maverick. Yet he himself turned into what he hated about the old school GMs.

Also, DAV criticizes Giordano saying that all his INT’s were thrown right to him …
Look at the Branch INT of Sanchez (in the endzone)
Trevor Scott looks like Howie Long on the play, flushing Sancho out of the pocket and levels him right after he gets the ball off. Poor decision by Sanchez, probably was one of the things they saw on film and decided to bring in Tebow for competition
Also, for all the Chekwa fans out there … him trying to cover Santonio Holmes was a joke. Sanchez would have exposed that all day
Hagan & Schilens were pretty good downfield blockers that day for McFadden I’ve gotta say!
in MS’s 1 yard TD scramble look at Branch taking a poor angle and look at the hit Gio puts on him!

Hwnrdr,
I agree bro, and I think Al made a lot of mistakes like over spending on avg talent, “being stiff with the coaches”, didn’t hire a GM the last decade when he needed help due to his age and health, etc….
-Did he make mistakes? Yes, and we can create a bigger list (valuing 40 times/ speed over skill, drafting a lot DBs in the 1st round, etc…)
-Was he as bad as some here claim? No, and his teams finished .500 or better 13/23 seasons.
July 13th, 2012 at 11:16 am
I didn’t think Gibril was that bad, just massively overpaid.
He certainly looked like the better safety in our backfield, when he was playing along side Huffy.

Branch appears to be really good, Mitchell appears to be out of position a lot, I think with a modern defense we’ll find out. Won’t know for sure until then.

my top 5 areas of concern for our team as it stands:
1. defense/linebackers- mcclain isnt cutting it, curry and wheeler are our best linebackers (thats not a good thing) we have a good up and comer in burris and possibly stupar, but both are raw rookies.
2. offense/back-up running back- jones is too small to be an every down back although i think he is an excellent change of pace back, goodson is a huge question mark to be trusted as a reliable back-up option(in case of dmac injury)
3. offense/tight end- myers isnt a bad temporary fix in a pinch, but for the entire season ??? ausberry looks like a vernon davis-type tight end threat, but with only 2 catches for 14 yards to date, he is very raw and unproven.
4. defense/secondary- although we “shored up” our cornerback position with the additions of spencer and bartell, we dont really have much reliable depth behind them other than the obvious ( dvd, checkwa ) and even they arent completely reliable options to be an every down player in case of an injury. spencer hasnt played well of late and bartell is coming off a neck injry, both could be ok and both could also flop – gio and mitchell are our replacements behind branch and huff (i think they should be fine)
5. cap space- this is my least area of concern for a reason, reggie! i think we are in good hands and headed in the right direction, but as it stands we arent looking too great (under 1 mil.) we need cap space more than ever right now to bring in depth, but that wont happen unless there are more restructures or branch signs long-term.
July 13th, 2012 at 11:40 am

Branch is also a smart player. I think he is very good at diagnosing a play and making the correct decision on where to break mid play. If our defense was actually good, that would be a common trait. But TB33 can sniff out a play better than his teammates and is usually on the play. And he knows how to bring down the ballcarrier once he’s on him. Tackling is a very underrated talent. Once again comparing and calling out his teammates.

Branch is also a smart player. I think he is very good at diagnosing a play and making the correct decision on where to break mid play. If our defense was actually good, that would be a common trait. But TB33 can sniff out a play better than his teammates and is usually on the play. And he knows how to bring down the ballcarrier once he’s on him. Tackling is a very underrated talent. Once again comparing and calling out his teammates.
———–
Well said man, that’s exactly what he did to Schaub. He saw him looking to possibly run for the TD and decided to rush and get the hands up enough to force a turd of a throw.

July 13th, 2012 at 12:15 pm
@ Tx
Houston game??
lets break down the highlights…
Arian Foster on 3rd & 1 runs for 30 yards before who pushes him out of bounds? Branch, baby!
Routt in the slot gets worked over for a TD by Kevin Walter, lol
Jason Campbell throws a 50 yard bomb down the sideline to a guy that makes no attempt to catch the football or swat it away from the defender who intercepts it: name that receiver … JFORD!
King Darrius catches the ball, makes one guy miss, breaks two tackles and scores a TD.
Schaub throws a screen pass to his wide open Fullback who would have scored a sure TD on a clueless Q Groves, 6 yards away
who busted up Houston’s interior OL and forced Schaub to scramble on the Huff INT to seal it? John Henderson
Kev Walter makes a beautiful diving catch against my man Huffy
Q Groves [again] pathetic excuse for an attempted tackle, Foster gets 60 yards on a screen pass.
John Henderson deflects a Schaub pass and LaMarr Houston makes the INT, MM34 blocking like somethng fierce on the INT return
July 13th, 2012 at 12:17 pm
LOL..
What does all that have to do with Branch making a nice play on the game decider?..
July 13th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
RR,
I hear what you’re saying, but if Branch doesn’t put the heat on Schaub when he scrambles, I believe Houston scores on that play.jmo

I give credit to the Rockets for trying to do something drastic.
In the NBA you either want to be at the top or the bottom.
Being stuck in the middle, does you no good. If they trade everybody for Howard and Howard bolts, then great, hopefully you go 20-62 the next year and win the lottery.
Beats going 40-42, and drafting Terrence Jones at #16 every year.

In the NFL you can stay in the middle grounds, hopefully not 2 drafts in a row out of the park, and basically be like the 49ers last year (or something like that).
Can’t do it in the NBA.
Look at the Pacers-Heat series. The Pacers have drafted exceptionally well and had the 3rd through probably 7th best players on their team.
But, they didn’t have the top 2 players, and lost in 6.

Too bad the RAIDERS don’t play the bears this season. It would be interesting if Soup and Bush started.
Hopefully DWOW doesn’t have the injury bug and violates Stan Routt twice this year.

When bowl ineligibility and t.v. bans are handed down to schools, innocent players are collateral damage. Yet the punishment remains. To not punish PSU would actually be to make an exception for them. They’ve been punished enough? Heck, I’d say they’ve gotten away with enough. If you’re concerned about the players, perhaps give them the option of transferring without legal consequences stemming from their letters of intent, etc, and pay for their transportation. Everyone else? I’m sorry. Mere livelihoods are not more important than justice. Adults are responsible for themselves, and that includes career risk. Time for them to either punch up their resume`s, or stick it out with the school until the punishment has been served.

A very interesting read from ESPN regarding Joe Paterno & the scandal at Penn State.
http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/8162972/joe-paterno-true-legacy
July 13th, 2012 at 7:25 pm
The NCAA should just shut the mutha down for a year or so. If any team deserved a “death penalty” for transgressions, it’s Penn State, right now. Apologies to all those who get caught in the crossfire, but this is WAY worse than what SMU did over twenty years ago, IMO. Let all the recruits transfer out, then they can start all over again in 2014, once they’ve cleaned up their house. I’m not a Penn State hater – but I do think that the kid victims deserve some strong justice.

I would rank Branch in the upper echelon of safeties in the NFL. That’s my personal opinion and it’s certainly a debatable contention.
Is he worthy of a franchise tag ? I’m not sure.
But I’ll ask again – if you’re not going to completely blow up the Raider defense, if you want to have some semblance of continuity, if you want to retain a young vet that’s played relatively well – if not Branch, then who ?
I’d say that Branch might be the Raids most dependable defensive asset. I’d rank him as the unit’s best and most reliable tackler. I’d place him as pound for pound the hardest hitter on the defense. Besides Branch, I’d only classify Curry as being a real ‘banger’ on defense – someone that will line you up and knock the snot out of you.
Branch cartainly has not shown a proclivity for making game changing plays like an Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu, thus far.
However, Branch brings an element of reliable tackling and physicality. If you’re not going to blow the whole D up and start from scratch, IMO he’s the most viable candidate to build around.

Me and my girlfriend roll deuces on the kitchen table. We ain’t got nothin to hide. We drink wine, cheap wine, and have guests over for entertainment and serve snacks on paper plates. The we swing on the door. We dry hump the floor. We just have a good time cuz we ain’t ashamed and got nothin to hide. My girlfriend likes me for who I am after that cheating bastard husband of mine came home with crabs. We past that now. We just slurp n burp and lookin forward to some tail gating if you get my drift.
July 14th, 2012 at 12:33 am
Just to let all you dudes know, my girlfriend just dropped a two part deuce that would put any deuce roller to shame. She ain’t got nothin to hide. Then we rolled the two part deuce over and named it.

This site sucks, cork and jerry are lame. The only thing that makes this site are the bloggers. Their probably going to take all day before they update the status of branch contract signing. SMH.
July 14th, 2012 at 8:32 am
Good deal both for Branch and the Raiders.
Branch gets good money and will be a Free Agent again at age 29 with a chance to get another decent deal to finish out his career and the Raiders lock up a pretty good player entering his prime.
July 14th, 2012 at 8:32 am
@ 658
Those guys are on it. They take there stuff serious.
July 14th, 2012 at 8:45 am
17 mill guaranteed is NOTHING folks!
what a great deal for a future great player.
we’ve talked about it, he has a very slim chance in failing in this new system. he’s had to do so many things and be in the wrong positions over the years, all because of TERRIBLE play calling … now he’s in a traditional SS position on a multi-look defense… it’s going to be exciting folks.
July 14th, 2012 at 8:48 am
plus, here comes Benson! can’t complain about that, as long as he stays away from the DUI’s…
Monday you will read ‘Benson visits the Raiders’
we all know what happens to guys take a plane and visits Raider HQ’s, right? dotted lines and ink, baby!
July 14th, 2012 at 8:49 am
Tyvon won’t be a guy that gets paid and stops trying either… this will motivate him more to get a bigger sized contract in a few years, much like Griffin’s.
another great Al Davis pick.
Thanks Al.
July 14th, 2012 at 9:04 am
Think Benson is next?
July 14th, 2012 at 9:09 am
i know he is.
watch, ‘Benson visits OAK for a work out’
i do believe NFLN now that i see they pay more for inside info … seeing as La Canfora was reporting ‘Branch and OAK’s deal is the closest of all of them’ … the fact they reported many times over about ‘Benson wanting to play for the Raiders’ and ‘the only thing is slowing the deal down in money’ from everyone tells me a deal is imminent.
IF ANYONE CARES: Rice is about to sign as well.
(yea you don’t want to piss your only offensive weapon off!)
July 14th, 2012 at 9:11 am
Yeah, the Raiders traded up for the 1st pick in the 4th round to get Branch, great pick now validated by Reggie McKenzie and Dennis Allen.
July 14th, 2012 at 9:23 am
as many other Al picks will be coming up in the next couple of years. why do you think he doesn’t want this team to get penalized anymore and go over the cap every year? so he can afford DMC and SHO-nasty when they’re FA”s after this year. both of them will prove to be the best players on the team for their side of the ball… and Reggie knows this.
