Raiders make it through first day of camp in fine shape despite scare
By Steve Corkran
Monday, July 30th, 2012 at 2:31 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders first-year head coach Dennis Allen emerged from his initial training camp practice in good spirits after what he termed a “pretty good” first practice.
His demeanor no doubt would have been quite different if the left knee injury suffered by wide receiver/kick returner Jacoby Ford midway through practice turned out to be as bad as it looked at first.
Ford turned upfield on one play, made one cut and slipped to the turf, while grabbing his hurt knee. A team athletic trainer immediately came to Ford’s aid and worked on Ford off to the side.
A short time later, Ford appeared headed to the training room. Again, the trainer worked on Ford’s knee as Ford lay on the ground. Then, as if nothing happened, Ford got to his feet, placed on his helmet and jogged downfield to field punts.
“I was scared more than anything,” Ford said, “but I finished practice fine.”
Ford wasn’t the only one concerned, naturally. Several players came over to check on Ford and numerous others watched from afar.
“He’s a good player, and we want to make sure we can keep all our good players healthy,” Allen said. “It was a close call, but he’s fine. It kind of scared him more than it did anything else.”
The rest of the practice went according to plan, with few exceptions.
“We had a pretty good first day of practice,” Allen said. “We’ve still got a lot of things we’ve got to get better at, but I thought for the first day in training camp, it was pretty good.”
Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said he noticed a change in the ways practices are conducted, if for no other reason than the number of reps taken by the first-team offense and defense.
“It’s definitely different how things are run,” Kelly said. “With the old man (late owner Al Davis), he had been in place for so long, he had stuff just how he wanted. With the new GM and coach Allen, they’re going in a different direction. Just get in line and do what they ask you to do.”
– The Raiders placed linebacker Aaron Curry on the physically unable to perform list because of an ailing knee. He is eligible to be activated at any time during camp.
Curry missed some time during the offseason workouts with what was described as a soft-tissue injury. He spent the early part of practice walking around the practice field.
Punter Shane Lechler (knee), cornerback Ron Bartell (hamstring) and defensive tackle Travis Ivey (conditioning) also missed practice.
Allen said those players are day-to-day. Marquette King filled in for Lechler and DeMarcus Van Dyke replaced Bartell opposite Shawntate Spencer.
– Beat writer Jerry McDonald checked into the rumor about the Raiders and Washington Redskins talking about a possible trade. In short, McDonald learned that it’s “not going to happen.”
– Speaking of Van Dyke, he turned in two impressive plays on passes from Carson Palmer. Both times, he broke on the ball in prompt fashion and broke up the passes.
“He’s a guy that we’re counting on to improve to be a player for us,” Allen said. “Just like I’ve talked to everybody, we’re going to expect him to get a little bit better every day. and if he’ll worry about that, at the end of the day he’ll like the end results.”
So far, so good.
– Wide receivers Rod Streater and Eddie McGee caught the coaches’ attention by hauling in long passes down the sideline. Streater beat Brandon Underwood and Terrail Lambert on his reception. McGee got behind Spencer on his long reception.
– As promised, most of the players that missed some time during the offseason workouts were on the practice field Monday.
Among those were: center Stefen Wisniewski, safety Mike Mitchell, defensive end Matt Shaughnessy and wide receiver Denarius Moore.
In Wisniewski’s case, he returned after missing all the offseason workouts because of a shoulder surgery.
“I was standing around doing nothing for a while and I didn’t like that,” Wisniewski said. “It’s been seven months since I’ve played football, and it feels great to be back.”
Wisniewski’s return gave Allen his first look at the projected starting offensive line, with Jared Veldheer at left tackle, Cooper Carlisle at left guard, Wisniewski in the middle, Mike Brisiel at right guard and Khalif Barnes at right tackle.
Second-year player Joseph Barksdale spent his time at left tackle and rookie Tony Bergstrom at left guart with the second-team.
– Not a great start for backup quarterback Terrelle Pryor. On one play, he fumbled the exchange from center. Later, he stumbled on his drop-back and then made an ill-advised pass that rookie defensive lineman Christo Bilukidi intercepted and returned for a touchdown.
Bilukidi said he read the play well and just jumped it when he saw Pryor look his way on a screen pass.
“Yeah, I just read it,” Bilukidi said. “It seemed like everything that coach was teaching us, how to read plays, how to read the offense (paid off). I saw it was a screen, I just backed up and then just had to make a play.”
As for Pryor, Allen said he remains confident in Pryor’s abilities.
“I have expectations of him to develop as a quarterback on a daily basis,” Allen said. “I’m not setting anything as far as where I want to see him on the depth chart or how many passes or anything like that. I just want to see him get better every day. That’s what he’s come out here and tried to do, and if he continues to do that, at the end of the day he’s going to be all right.”
– Ford and Moore split time returning punts. It’s likely that other players will be tried in that role later in camp. However, Moore and Ford are getting the first crack.
“We’ll continue to evaluate guys as we go throughout training camp,” Allen said, “but right now those are kind of the top two guys that we’re looking at.”
Ford said he is excited about the prospect of adding punt returns to his long list of duties. He also plays receiver and return kicks.
“It’s definitely something that is going to help us out a lot, having either both of us back there or alternating it, in case he wants to go and then if I want to go,” Ford said. “It gives us two explosive options back there. We’re definitely both excited about it looking to whenever we have a chance to go out and prove ourselves.”
– Those concerned about running back Darren McFadden can rest easy. He looks every bit as sharp now as he did during the offseason workouts.
McFadden copped to being a little sore afterward. However, he said he is looking forward to the process.
“It does feel good out there, being back out there on the field, being out there with the guys running around,” McFadden said. “I feel like we did a lot of good things out there today. Some things we still got to improve on. It’s like, coming out there on the first day, it’s nothing you can do to prepare for it all summer. You get out there the first day, you get a little winded. Guys are going to come along it’s time to go.”
Allen liked what he saw from McFadden.
“Fast; he looked good,” Allen said. “We all understand that he’s an explosive playmaker for us and we need him to be healthy for the entire season.”
– Wisniewski spoke for the first time about the recent resignation of his uncle Steve as the Raiders assistant offensive line coach.
“Yeah, it’s weird,” Stefen Wisniewski said. “I definitely miss him. I definitely miss him a lot.”
Understandably, but there’s a strong likelihood that Steve Wisniewski will make his presence felt this season.
“He’s told me he’s going to be around game days and he’ll be around a little bit here at practice,” Stefen said. “So we’ll still see him.”
Stefen Wisniewski also weighed in on the scandal that rocked his alma mater, Penn State.
“It’s been really tough,” Wisniewski said. “It makes me really sad and a little bit angry, too, with some of the things. But like we said, Penn State sticks together. I’m really impressed with the way the players have been handling themselves. They look like they’re going to stick together and fight through that with most of the guys staying there. I’m really proud of that.
“The NCAA, they can’t kill Penn State. Penn State is going to be a great place. They might wound us for a little while, but Penn State is still going to be a great university and football program.”

Mr Green does not like the great DeeMoore returning punts. He is the best WR in the NFL (print it) and is vulnerable to cheap hits that could take him out. Don’t like it one bit. Put Criner back there, or stay with Ford. We will need DeeMoore to get us to Nawleens.

you mean instead of just bull rush forward hoping to kill the QB? That will be a refreshing change.
July 30th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
If they roll the coverage at Moore, DHB with kill you with one broken tackle he will take it to the house. If you keep 2 safeties over the top, DMC will kill you. it really a lose lose situation.

anybody else think it’s disrespectful referring to Al Davis as “the old man” ??
July 30th, 2012 at 2:39 pm
RRS,
DHB has a career total of 6 tds after 41 games in 3 seasons. Ford has 9 tds in 24 games and 2 seasons. Why you guys diss on Ford is amazing. Perhaps I suspect you folks wouldnt treat him the same way if he was a first rounder like DHB. People seem to have lots of patience for first rounders. I can careless where they are picked on the other hand.

some of the comments you make have me thinking. do you truly beleive JFORD will not be on this team 2012, and will not be intergral part of the offense????
JFORD is a weopon. Patton, AFC west, and the NFL knows this.
If JFORD were to be gone, it would have happened during the draft or more recently, when we dangled and jettisioned Lmurphy.
Dont be mad at JFORD becuase he dispatched ya boy higgs. I told ya about that one however, I wont bring up the past….

It has nothing to do with JLH, even though Higgins is a stud.
who dropped a pass against SF on 3rd & 8 that hit him in the chest?
who fumbled a kickoff that cost us the J-Ville game?
who made zero attempt to go get the football or even turn around when JCamp threw it down the sideline from his own endzone (which resulted in a INT) against the Pats?
who ran the piss poor route that resulted in a Palmer interception in WK17 against SD?
the list goes on, bro. not to mention the fact that he’s hurt all the time and wears eyeliner. oh yeah, and he’s a friggin smurf!

AIGIf one player catches 4 passes on a drive say 3 are for 1st downs,then near the goal another catches a TD aren’t they both just as valuable and helpful to the TEAM?Saying someone has only caught ? many TDs doesn’t necessarily reflect his value as a player.I remember when Van Eaghen used to run the ball up and down the field and Banazak would be brought in to score the TD.Both had value.

I wouldn’t be upset if Ford is traded. I just dont think he’s a Top 4 WR for us this season.
I dont want to purge him off the roster for nothing though, because he has value as a return man (if he doesn’t cough up the rock!)
If a team came calling and offered us a 3rd rounder or decent player in exchange we’d be foolish not to take it

Same thing with Washington. The Raiders are looking for a vet. The new NFL is all about the air game and the new proto type Jimmy Graham, Gronkowski, Vernon Davis type of TE probably won’t be around at lst cuts. + we already have Ausberry as our project. I think they must be looking at Chris Cooley or Richard Quinn.

Raiders first-year head coach Dennis Allen emerged from his initial training camp practice in good spirits after what he termed a “pretty good” first practice.
His demeanor no doubt would have been quite different if the left knee injury suffered by wide receiver/kick returner Jacoby Ford midway through practice turned out to be as bad as it looked at first.
Ford turned upfield on one play, made one cut and slipped to the turf, while grabbing his hurt knee. A team athletic trainer immediately came to Ford’s aid and worked on Ford off to the side.
A short time later, Ford appeared headed to the training room. Again, the trainer worked on Ford’s knee as Ford lay on the ground. Then, as if nothing happened, Ford got to his feet, placed on his helmet and jogged downfield to field punts.
“I was scared more than anything,” Ford said, “but I finished practice fine.”
Ford wasn’t the only one concerned, naturally. Several players came over to check on Ford and numerous others watched from afar.
………………………………………………
I was scared to. I got a thang for Jacoby, cept I can’t tell my girlfriend cuz she’d get jealous.

Kinda hard to get a deep pass when DBs are 10 yards off with a safety over the top. thats why you take what the Defense gives you. once teams press DHB with no safety help. then you will see the deep ball.
July 30th, 2012 at 3:23 pm
all this talk about are the raiders still the raiders is makn me sick WE WILL ALWAYS BE THE RAIDERS get with it or get the fck out just bcuz AL D passed doesnt mean we are not the raiders anymore its still JUST WIN BABY and we THE FANS ARE THE RAIDERS WITHOUT US THEN THE RAIDERS ARE NO MORE. IF I SEE FANS EATING CHEESE WINE AN CRACKERS AT THE GAME LIKE WHINER FANS THEN THATS WHEN WE SHOULD WORRY.

IN THAT RESPECT YOU ARE RIGHT BUT WILL THEY SHOW THE SAME REPECT THIS YEAR WITH THE LACK OF DEEP BALL CATCHES BY DHB.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$4
DHB gained some respect last season because he caught some passes for almost a 1000 yds, but for only 3TD.
DHB was forced fed the ball, first while AD was living then after he passed. By that time Ford and Moore were injured, while the other injury prone WR’s cowered on the bench. Then our pimpin Hue traded away Hagan for Housh and there was no one left to throw to but DHB.
DHB can’t catch long passes nor can he score. He’s a force fed schill. As a #1 draft pick Raider’s staff shouldn’t have to teach him how to catch, run, position himself to leverage out the defender, etc. DHB has never shown any of that so-called lightening speed ability in the open field he was throughly praised for possessing. The main reason is because he rarely makes it to the open field.
One thing you can count on with DHB is that he will blow a critical play. I saw it time and time again last year.
Most importantly, DHB stinks of AD, and that is why most fans dislike him.
July 30th, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Although we have depth at WR, it is the sum of the parts that make the corp dangerous. If anyone can, go back and look at last years plays when we had an alignment of DHB, DMO, and JFORD on the field at the same time.
July 30th, 2012 at 3:31 pm
THE ONLY REASON DHB CANT GET RESPECT IS HE YES “THE DEEP BALL” BUT HE LACKS QUICKNESS AND AGILITY ALL HE HAS IS STAIGHT LINE SPEED THUS LACK OF BIG PLAYS
July 30th, 2012 at 3:32 pm

Not much to glean from practice today, other than
-DMAC looked fantastic
-Young receivers making plays
-DVD getting his nose in there
-Most everyone is healthy
That’s pretty much it. The real business starts Wednesday when they start hitting each other. Today was just like an OTA pretty much. Sort of anti-climactic, but hey, at least it’s ON now, it’s for real.

Jerry Jones is a great marketer, but a lousy owner. He lucked into hiring Jimmy Johnson at the beginning, was able to win one subsequent championship with Barry Switzer overseeing Jimmy’s assistants coaching Jimmy’s players, but since? Whole lotta mediocrity. He’s got the same problem Al (RIP) had: he’s such a control freak that nobody qualified wants to come work for him.

July 30th, 2012 at 3:56 pm
Anybody can win a preseason game. Simply leave your starters in longer than the other team, and leave your primary backups in longer as well. But why? There’s no point. We already know that Carson, DMAC and Moore are making the team.

The boat is the cheapest piece of crap I have ever been on and had we not paid for our tickets in advance, I would have never boarded. 2nd, and most importantly the boat did not leave until around 6:30, even though we were scheduled to leave at 6pm, which means right now I am being held HOSTAGE until 9:30pm! To make a horrible experience even worse we are riding around in a 1/4 mile circle!! The boat is literally a rip-off! Party people BEWARE!

ivey will be gone soon. he wasn’t a legit option anyway. by the way, who ever said an NT had too be fat and 350 pounds? the guy plays over the center. not that big of a difference from playing in front of any other OL or in a gap. for crying out loud. most centers are the lightest linemen.
July 30th, 2012 at 4:17 pm
Ivey is at least day2day.They’ll probably put him through the ringer the next couple of days to get him going.He’ll suffer for not being in proper shape.On another note,looks like Burris gets the opening young players need with Curry making the PUP list.I’d love to see him rise to occasion and take advantage of it.

The PR guy grabs the mic right after Jerry says that and tries to explain to everyone that “glory hole” is a reference to the oil and gas drilling business. Jerry basically says he wasn’t aware of that and goes into a maniacal laugh.

Raiders record last 2 yrs. is in upperhalf of the league (14 out of 32) which is better than Dallas plus the fact Raiders have won 4 times the amt. of playoff games Dallas has since ‘96 and they spent 5 mins. on Dallas camp and literally 10 secs. on Raider camp.
July 30th, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Dan, I guess DMAC gets a little bit of interest too. Any Raider interviews are with Palmer. Dan Patrick had him on, ESPN did a little feature with him but that’s about it.
These diks gave Cincy a nice feature too.
The way it is I guess, but makes no sense cuz I know there alot of Raider fans out there.

Of course they always harp on our “7 yrs. of hell” and ignore that we have made strides the past 2 seasons.
I know .500 is not acceptable to any of us as something to be proud of, but it’s alot better than alot of teams in this past 2 yr. period.
It’s not “okay in my world” as Al Davis said, but it’s progress and no longer the doormat they wanna pretend we remain in.

It was around 20 or 30 years ago when you could show up at camp and play into shape. But you are a practice squad NT you might wanna think about showing up to TC ready to rock and compete with the likes of Richard Seymour and Wiz 2.0.

One thing you can count on with DHB is that he will blow a critical play. I saw it time and time again last year.
————————
That is an out an out LIE.If it happened so often,how about some instances.He was Carson’s main target on 3rd down.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$4
Lefty,
If DHB was such a critical playmaker why did he only score 3 TD’s?
What critical game winning plays did he make? none that I remember. I do remember him blowing numerous big down field plays where the the ball was right there in his arms and he dropped it. Then the cameras showed him on the sidelines with a smirk on his face.
Overall, where would the Raiders be with or without him ?? Same…
I suppose you are a Nnami worshipper as well: the greatest “no shut down, shut down corner” is the the history of the NFL, with 11 whole INT’s in 9 seasons.
(Gio came up with 5 last season as a back up tight end.)
Open your eyes man. I don’t see anyone arguing here that if Moore continues to develop as he is, he’ll be a great WR.

i have to admit i enjoy throwing b#tch dog around. it’s not talking raiders and i don’t really like to get caught up in it but sometimes he just deserves it. he wouldn’t be so bad if he just made the occasional goofy comment, but he likes to act cool and diss other guys, so he really needs to be smacked on occasion. if he only realized how lame his taste in music is and stopped constantly trying sooooooooo hard to impress everyone. and he likes to talk to me so i have to swat him. he talks about having sex and 69′ing with strippers (gross). his posts actually are a lot like music videos from his favorite era of music. really cheesy and ridiculous “parties” with tons of “ho’s”, blah blah blah. he’s as believable as 2 live crew but not as unintentionally funny.
plus he’s always calling himself master and others his minions. really weird and creepy. guarantee he’s an S&M nut.
and whenever i post his yelp reviews for his “party boats”, he leaves for a while.
watch, he’ll come on now and talk about how he served me, and i ran, and he won, and it’s all so pathetic.

When dmac is leading the league in rushing after we beat denver in wk 4, you will start to hear something
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Sorry SR, dmac will never lead the league in rushing and here is why: dmac is not an elite RB; he runs right over small and insignificant teams with pitiful defenses then coughs and does nothing playing teams that are top tier, possibly playoff bound. If you don’t believe me, check out his stats.
As much as you want a stud, that aint dmac. Also, by game 8 he’ll be on the IR never to wear the Raider uniform again.
Btw, HC Allen said dmac would play in the pre-season; that’s the most idiotic decision I have ever heard. It’s testing fate, and I will go with fate, and a season ending hangnail injury for dmac.

I know who blackandsilverside is and it’s not Sullivan…
Blackside doesn’t hate the Raiders but he thinks DMAC is overrated and his injuries tick him off. He thinks DMAC is soft and while he respects Al for his past accomplishments he thinks Al was suffering from dementia in his final years.
I really don’t think he’s a hater.
He’s stuck up for me in the past so i appreciate it.

Should we be concerned about Curry’s injury? Most disappointing thing I got out of today’s 1st practice is Bartell not playing.
The guy missed all of last year and you’d think he’d need to be out there as much as possible to get his bearings.
I didn’t hear what was wrong with him. Hammy?

McFadden: It has been a big change going on here. You see a lot of new faces around here, a lot of people you are not used to seeing, so you just have to get used to everyone all over again, but for the most part I think everybody likes the changes going on. We have a great weight staff now, they are coming in there getting us hard work, the coaching staff has been doing a great job so we are just looking forward to getting out there.

McFadden: It has got to come from within yourself. You can’t have anybody come out there and change it, you have to change yourself. So it’s guys being mentally prepared and just going out there and knowing what to do. I feel like if you know what to do and know your job, you are not going to be as hesitant or as tempted to jump offside or something.
Q: In the past, without coaches saying anything, have guys been eager or willing to jump on guys when they jump offside or have a false start, and to what degree is that going to be different this year, more so or less so?
McFadden: I have heard a few guys jump on other guys for making penalties or stupid mistakes, but I don’t think you hear it a lot, like from some other teams you hear that they have guys that will really jump down your throat but I don’t think we really have anyone that has done that.

Q: You’ve got [Juron] Criner in. Was there ever any doubt about that?

Q: What did he show you in OTAs and minicamp?
Coach Allen: He’s a big, athletic receiver that has a big catching radius. He went and made some plays for us in OTAs. His ability to be a big target for the quarterback was a positive.

July 30th, 2012 at 9:20 pm
Q: Was Steve Wisniewski’s departure something that you guys had an idea was coming or did it catch you by surprise? Did you think about adding a second coach?
Coach Allen: Number one is, it was a little bit of a surprise. Obviously he has his personal reasons as to why he made that decision. I will say this, it was totally his decision. It was nobody else’s decision. We thought about whether to bring somebody in or not but we felt like at this point, this late in the game, the right thing for us to do was to stick with the coaches that we have and go forward. I’ve got every confidence in the world in Frank Pollack as an offensive line coach. Being able to watch him throughout the OTAs and minicamp, he did a great job. He’ll do a great job coaching the offensive line.

Best chance (when not in Denver) would come at the end of a half when the opposing team is punting out of their end zone. It’s a little-known fact that if you fair-catch a punt, you’re entitled to a free kick on the next play, which means you can totally line-drive the kick with worrying about a block.

DJ,
Thanks for understanding. I am a Raider fan, and will always be one. Most likely I was a Raider fan before rob_raider was even born; and I understand his feelings.
However, one must recognize a problem before one can fix it. That is what I love about Reggie; he has superlative vision. He will just bide his time, while everything works out and it is time to act.

i’m 43 and a raider fan my whole life so doubt it. ur entitled to ur opinion but going off on dmc like that seems absurd. yeah, his injuries are annoying, but he was the best back in football last year before he got hurt. maybe he’ll always get hurt. it’s possible. his body-type looks a little brittle. but if he stays healthy, he will be huge. he does take a lot of punishment because he runs so hard and upright, like fargas did.

While everyone was sorry to see Al go, the fact is that the Raiders are a better team with him not running things. His paranoid worldview, controlling personality and outmoded way of doing things had driven off too many quality people to count (for starters: Ron Wolf, Ken Herock, Jon Gruden, Mike Shanahan, John Fox, Steve Beuerlein, Marcus Allen, Steve Sarkisian, Willie Shaw, Ken Stabler, and others) or persuaded other quality people to never come here (like Bill Belichick, Bill Parcells, Jimmy Johnson, and Sean Payton).
I think we all wish he had retired and not died; still, the Raiders are in a far better position with Reggie and DA than they were with Al and Hue.
July 30th, 2012 at 10:33 pm
it just really hit me that we will get a good look at pryor for the first time over the next few weeks. he really is a rookie. we’ll see if he ends up being worth a 3rd round pick. i kinda have a feeling about him. he would seem to fit in well with this whole roll-out offense.

Does this mean they take more or less snaps than in the past?
Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said he noticed a change in the ways practices are conducted, if for no other reason than the number of reps taken by the first-team offense and defense.

Probably less snaps overall but more concentration on the 1’s, due to the limited practice time. So the rooks and other 2nd teamers suffer but what can you do.

Actually, the trade rumors with the Redskins surfaced right after it was confirmed that one of their OLs (Jamaal Brown) is probably lost for the year. We have lots of young OLs, and they had shown an interest in Carlisle or Barksdale, according to some sources. I don’t think TEs or WRs were ever in the conversation. If anything, Reggie would be picking up more draft picks for the future, rather than giving the future away. Cooper could have been an instant starter for them, but we need him right now, to help bring Bergstrom along.

– Speaking of Van Dyke, he turned in two impressive plays on passes from Carson Palmer. Both times, he broke on the ball in prompt fashion and broke up the passes.
“He’s a guy that we’re counting on to improve to be a player for us,” Allen said. “Just like I’ve talked to everybody, we’re going to expect him to get a little bit better every day. and if he’ll worry about that, at the end of the day he’ll like the end results.”
So far, so good.
++++++++++
Very encouraging start for DVD! Let’s see his maturation under a real defensive coordinator and defensive minded HC. We need some of the young pups to step up their game.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:08 am
Not a great start for backup quarterback Terrelle Pryor. On one play, he fumbled the exchange from center. Later, he stumbled on his drop-back and then made an ill-advised pass that rookie defensive lineman Christo Bilukidi intercepted and returned for a touchdown.
….
“I have expectations of him to develop as a quarterback on a daily basis,” Allen said. “I’m not setting anything as far as where I want to see him on the depth chart or how many passes or anything like that. I just want to see him get better every day. That’s what he’s come out here and tried to do, and if he continues to do that, at the end of the day he’s going to be all right.”
++++++++++
TP had a really rough day, really a bad week, feel sorry for him really I do. But the bar is set too low for DA right now. Sounds like he’s a ground zero. Daily improvement from what baseline I wonder? That’s the info that Knapp and DA won’t volunteer. But at this point, he’s not even a blip on the radar for the QB2 competition. And as much as everyone wants to see this kid in preseason, we’d be better off giving Leinart heavy reps to be ready if needed. TP has to find his inner resolve and play loose and fast and let his natural ability catch up with the coaching. No doubt, his loss is crippling though. I hope he overcomes this and surprises the Nation.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:13 am
“It’s definitely different how things are run,” Kelly said. “With the old man (late owner Al Davis), he had been in place for so long, he had stuff just how he wanted.
********
Kelly gets criticised for calling his old bossman the “old man”, and I think it’s fair given that the “old man” was responsible for making him a very rich man. Certainly richer than he could have been with any other team. It comes off as disrespectful, but who of us knew TK’s relationship with AD? Maybe he was close to him and they got along like that?
Even so, TK should refrain from his casual context in describing the late great Al Davis. Bad form.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:14 am
– Wide receivers Rod Streater and Eddie McGee caught the coaches’ attention by hauling in long passes down the sideline. Streater beat Brandon Underwood and Terrail Lambert on his reception. McGee got behind Spencer on his long reception.
***********
What stands out isn’t Streater and McGee, but Underwood, Lambert and Spencer. All are roster bubble guys imo, and not just because they had a bad day.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:14 am
DVD can run with anyone. If he can learn to read receivers and play the ball he can be awesome. Chimdi was looking real good last season before he went down, and seems to have more natural football talent to me.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:18 am
– Ford and Moore split time returning punts. It’s likely that other players will be tried in that role later in camp.
***********
With injuries always likely, it’s going to be important to develop both as viable options. Hopefully Ford is the punt returner, as his quicks and open field running are explosive. Also it minimizes risk to our #1 WR DoMo17. JFord12 can take it to the house on any given punt return, he’s going to be special this year.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:19 am
I think the “old man ” comment is being misconstrued. Thats the same term I use for my dad. Know way he would disrespect Al like that. I do agree he should refrain from using however. To many people will jump and run with it.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:20 am
Kirk,
with Bartell’s injury history, and Spencer being an unknown, we need likely both DVD and Chimdi to step up. Maybe at the end of the season both will be starters? Could be.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:20 am
Can’t remember Ford ever having a fumble as a returner.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:23 am
Those concerned about running back Darren McFadden can rest easy. He looks every bit as sharp now as he did during the offseason workouts.
…“Fast; he looked good,” Allen said. “We all understand that he’s an explosive playmaker for us and we need him to be healthy for the entire season.”
++++++++++
Who needs Cedric Benson? Truth is Taiwan Jones is ready to step into DMC’s shoes and compliment the load with Mike Goodson if/when DMAC gets dinged.
When healthy, DMC is the beast RB in football.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:28 am
As for Travis Ivey, I know Cork has been very high on him. He looked good earlier in OTA’s. But word is he had a weight room accident and missed the last part of OTA’s with a concussion. Maybe the time off led to the weight gain or lack of fitness. He needs to turn up the intensity right now and get back to where he was in the early OTA’s. And it’s always hard for the big guys to find the motivation. If he doesn’t soon, he’ll be cut or PS material.

Verizon presents Oakland Raiders’ training camp
31 July 2012 | Posted in Sponsorship, Football, North America | By Tom Love
Telecommunications company Verizon has been announced as the presenting sponsor of the Oakland Raiders’ training camp ahead of the 2012 National Football League (NFL) season.
Under terms of the agreement, financial details of which were not released, the NFL franchise’s training camp in Napa Valley, California, will be officially known as the Oakland Raiders 2012 Training Camp Powered by Verizon 4G LTE Network.
AEG picked to run Oakland venues
Oakland Raiders hires digital marketing company

Huge new mobile deal for Verizon and NFL
“Verizon is a proven leader in its industry and we are pleased to provide it with an extended platform to demonstrate its 4G Network at training camp,” said Oakland Raiders vice president of marketing and sales Robert Kinnard.

July 31st, 2012 at 5:31 am
Guest. I agree with both assessments. But would still like to have Benson as a known complete back. My only concern with Taiwan and Goodson is pass protection. Maybe their fine, but who knows. DA and Reg will once the pads go on.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:33 am
Re #327:
If you think Reggie was trying to get Hightower from the Redskins for either Barnes or Carlisle, here’s my take: Hightower bit the injury bug as well as some of the backs we already have on the roster. Why roll the dice with an unproven commodity and give up good solid offensive linemen in the process? I would just as soon take my chances with DMac and T. Jones, Goodson, and Reece.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:35 am
Everyone is counting on the addition of new/old vet CB Ron Bartell, who was cut by St. Louis after signing a $28 mill deal in 2009. For his ~2+ years of work, he pulled in a guaranteed $13.6 mill) only to fracture his neck in the 2011 season opener. Very nice coin compared to what Reggie is paying him now.
Now he’s 30 and pulling table scraps, and his hammy is hurt. You wonder if he has the same motivation. We sure do need him, but it’s only human nature to get complacent with age and financial security. I hope that Ron Bartell is still hungry.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:37 am
344. Correct.
We have 5 good RB’s…locked and loaded for bear:
DMAC
Taiwan
Goodson
Schmitt
Reece
Scrub washed up vets need not apply for the RB6 position.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:37 am
Good morning Nation! Bartell should be just fine and start with Chekwa/DVD imo. The Skins rumor seems to be a pile of BS, I think the owner was is damage control mode.lol
July 31st, 2012 at 5:40 am
I just hope Schmitt doesn’t continue to hit himself in the head with his own helmet. I mean – dude – don’t give your own damn self a concussion!!
July 31st, 2012 at 5:42 am

LOL I could see Schmitt making our guys take a shot of whiskey after each victory.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:42 am
Love hearing about our young beast DE Bulikidi snaring a pass for a pick 6. Sounds like he’s a football player with INSTINCTS and SMARTS. Not just another physical specimen and project. Reggie knows talent.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:43 am
Yeah, when I was listening to that Redskins radio interview yesterday, GM Bruce Allen was really back on his heels when he said “Raider Nation” accidentally. The fact that he even mentioned trade talks was a slip-up — trying to work his way out of a tight spot with his team’s fan base. His father George is probably rolling over in his grave.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:43 am
Schmitt = 2012 version of Jon Ritchie. Smashing helmets and destroying faceguards with a trail of blood running down the bridge of his nose. Awesome!
July 31st, 2012 at 5:44 am

Yeah, Schmitt is truly a man after John Riggins’ heart!
July 31st, 2012 at 5:45 am
Not that worried about corners or running backs.More concerned that we don’t have a proven TE.

RE Post #341:
I recall another weight room accident during training camp several years ago — JaWalrus picked up some weights and pretended to work out! Oh wait – those weren’t actual weights — they were In-n-Out double stackers!!
July 31st, 2012 at 5:47 am
Some huge question marks were answered in day 1:
Denarius Moore coming back from that hammy in OTA’s. Wasn’t sure when he’d back fully back to form. Glad to see he’s back well and on day one.
Steve Wisniewski coming back from offseason surgery to repair the torn labrum he played with all last season. Now that it’s confirmed healthy again and he’s back at his natural center position, with a capable backup in Parsons, I expect a huge season from Wiz II.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:48 am
I’m guessing that if the TE’s don’t impress, Reg may give the kid Carrier a chance. Seems like he is a bit under-weight, but quick on his feet.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:49 am
I see us picking up a TE or two once cuts around the league start happening.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:49 am
Neilb:
I’ve been playing the “we need an established TE” drum all offseason. I am amazed at how we are neglecting the position. It’s so un-Raiderlike to not have an established weapon at TE. I hope that Reggie has a plan, because we can’t just hope and pray that it works out on its own.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:50 am
Tbone, re: post 355
What is it about big guys and locker room accidents?
July 31st, 2012 at 5:53 am
Ausberry isn’t a natural TE and he’s old to be learning the position. Gordon is purely a blocker and he’s a liability on any pass play. Myers is below avg at everything. Strictly a backup TE or a good 2nd TE in 2 TE sets. Assuming Reggie tries Carrier at TE, thats’ just another WR trying out for a spot he doesn’t know. The TE position is just not adequate right now with the personnel we have.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:55 am
Here’s hoping Reggie has a plan.Needs to be sorted sooner rather than later.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:57 am
I’ll catch up later.
Have a great Tuesday everyone.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:58 am
Glad to read about DVD standing out, it is one practice, but I love the kid’s ability to cover, not many CB’s can stick to their man like DVD can, it’s a rare skill and if developed properly he can become a stud soon.
I just think he and the staff need to keep woking on the basics, it would be a shame if he starts to think he’s Deion out there and tries and make a play every time the ball goes his way, that’s how you end up giving big plays, just make sure the kid keeps his head in blanketing the guys he’s matched up with and big plays (for us) will come to him.
I had him as next season’s most improved player a couple of months ago and he’s off to a good start, hopefully he earns a starting spot because having a lock-down CB is huge, no matter what scheme you’re playing.
July 31st, 2012 at 5:59 am
19 combined catches (Myers 16, Ausberry + Gordon = 3) from the TE position. Even if the TE isn’t going to featured with all our wideout depth, we should not ignore the position as it can lead to matchups that pull safeties and occupy linebackers. We can’t give up the obvious matchup opportunity as it will shrink the field for the wideouts. You look at the better teams in the league. They all have stud TE’s. We just need an adequate TE or 2 (if I may be so greedy)
July 31st, 2012 at 6:01 am

but I guess since you don’t agree that he should be on the trade block, I don’t know football !?!?
go jump in the lake, clown
July 31st, 2012 at 6:02 am
I’ve been as critical as anyone about DVD and his lack of ball skills, but I’m really looking forward to eating a nice heaping plate of crow. I’d love to see him emerge as a lockdown corner. Agree that it won’t matter what scheme we are in, that solidifies the defense and helps everyone else focus on a narrower set of responisiblities.

July 31st, 2012 at 6:07 am
TE is a huge concern, you need a guy to work the middle of the field and open things up outside for our WR’s, specially in the system that Knapp will run.
I wanted one with our 4th round pick but I’m guessing they didn’t like the guys available.
For me TE is the # 1 priority in 2013, you can’t expect to fill every position in one off-season, so I guess we’ll try to develop our young players this year and draft or sign someone next year.
Some say Palmer won’t throw to the TE, but he’s never had a weapon there, I’m sure he’d love to have a big fella working the middle of the field for him.
July 31st, 2012 at 6:08 am
Can any player, or group of players, please convince Mark Davis to get a modern era hair-cut?lol
July 31st, 2012 at 6:11 am
Looking at the playoff teams from last year, the TE position really stands out, you have:
Saints: Jimmy Graham, 99 catches.
Patriots: Gronk & Hernandez, 169 catches.
Packers: Jermichael Finley, 55 catches.
Bengals: Jermaine Gresham, 57 catches.
Ravens: Dickson and Pitta, 94 catches.
49ers: Vernon Davis, 67 catches.
Falcons: Tony Gonzalez, 80 catches.
Lions: Brandon Pettigrew, 83 catches.
Steelers: Heath Miller, 51 catches.
Texans: Daniels & Dreessen, 82 catches.
Only the NYG and the Broncos failed to have a TE over 50 catches but the Giants did have Jake Ballard with 38 and a few big plays for them.
In today’s game, I think you’re giving the opponent’s defense a huge break when they don’t have to worry about your TE and so far, nobody will be worried about Myers or Gordon, and Ausberry may help a little in some formations, but not enough to make a difference, imo.

Marley, as usual. Excellent analysis backed up with relevant stats. It paints a bleak picture for the Raiders to overcome the obvious weakness at the TE position. While the Giants proved that you could navigate around the TE position, the overwhelming trend is playoff teams who utilize the TE heavily and that leads to space and big plays for the wideouts and slots. Can’t be marginalized, and it is a HUGE hole on our offense.

Reports from day one were that Marquette King was booming punts. It really depends on Lechler and how serious his knee problem is. And Lechler is pretty damn expensive as he is also great. But King’s a nice contingency plan to have on the shelf just in case.

Myers is below avg at everything. Strictly a backup TE or a good 2nd TE in 2 TE sets. Assuming Reggie tries Carrier at TE, thats’ just another WR trying out for a spot he doesn’t know. The TE position is just not adequate right now with the personnel we have.
————————————————————-
Didn’t we start Ricky Dudley from day 1?
Doug Jolley
Teyo Johnson
Zach Miller
None of those guys were “established” when they were handed the keys. Tony Stewart was the 3rd “established” TE. Meyers is MUCH better than Stewart.
Why does Meyers get so little respect? Because he’s not a true HWS guy? Because he’s not Antonio Gates?
Cmon, the guy is solid or he wouldn’t be out there with a chance to start for a NFL team. The Reggime isn’t out there effin around mayne! They are not going to put some bums out there who can’t play.

Christopher Walken should play Al Davis if there was ever a movie made about him…He would be freakin fantastique….
July 31st, 2012 at 7:01 am
Myers has been in the league now 3 years going on 4. He’s not going to suddenly break out now. He’s a known quantity. And there are many other TE#2’s on other teams that are better than Myers. And not to keep dumping on him, but he’s likely TE #32 out of 32 teams if you ranked them. He’s a plodder with soft hands who can leap 6 inches off the ground to snare a pass and look for a soft patch of grass to fall in. That’s his skill set. He’s not a legit TE#1. That’s all I’m saying. He’s a legit TE #2 and valuable to the team in that aspect. But we are woefully inadequate at the TE spots going into the season from where it looks right now.
July 31st, 2012 at 7:01 am

lol Walken would be the only candidate for that job.
July 31st, 2012 at 7:02 am
Also, about Moore returning punts…
I don’t like it one bit, punt return in the NFL is one hellova dangerous position, and to be honest, he really isn’t that good at it IMO, Moore is fast but he doesn’t have that stop and go quickness that you see out of good returners..Ford is much better suited for P.R
However, the kid from the Eagles, DeSean Jackson is about the same size as more, and just as important to their team as Moore is to ours and he is VERY good.
I don’t know, there are two schools of thought on it. I just think Moore is a better WR than a PR and he needs to leave the duties to Ford…
July 31st, 2012 at 7:03 am
I would cast the guy who played Gargamel in “The Smurfs” movie as a young Al Davis, with Walken in his older years.
July 31st, 2012 at 7:03 am

Before these cats “established” themselves, how are they different from Ausberry?
Seems like a lot of you are soley focused on what the TE can do for our passing game. How is Ausberry not a guy you think you think can be THAT guy? I think Ausberry vs any LB or S is a mismatch. Throw a CB on him, and it’s a size mismatch.
Worst case scenario is Gordon is the typical 3rd TE who can block his arsse off. Is anyone denying this kid is a beast of a blocker? How can he be this unathletic slug if he was moved to FB last year?
Trust The Reggime!!!!

“woefully inadequate”?????
Disagree.
We were woefully inadequate in our return game a couple years ago when we had a FB returning kicks. Our TE situation is nowhere near that.
July 31st, 2012 at 7:08 am
I don’t get the Ausberry love. He’s essentially a 25 yo rookie TE who’s never played a full season at that spot. And he’s some kind of stud receiver because of one toe tapping preseason TD. He’s too much of a wildcard for my taste. I know that Antonio Gates was once a wildcard too, but the league has been chasing after the dream of the next Gates. Those are infrequent one-hit wonders. We need actual proven TE acumen at least until one of these projects can prove themselves. We don’t have a viable fallback position.
July 31st, 2012 at 7:09 am
Between Ausberry, Myers, Gordon and Reece the TE corp should be ok, but I’ll leave that for RM to judge.

I think that Ford is going to be the PR guy, and that Moore is just getting work there in case Ford gets hurt.
There is no way this coaching regime is foolish enough to stick our 6′0″ 185 lb #1 Wide Receiver on Punt Return, and not expect something very detrimental to the success of the season to occur..

Why do we have to have a “STUD” at TE?
I neve said Ausberry is or will be a stud.
We have studs at other positions that will make our TEs job pretty easy. He will NEVER see double coverage with the OTHER studs we have on the field.
Ausberry will be an afterthought. Do you really think a LB or S can run with him? We are talking about the passing game part of this, so I don’t get the learning a new position angle.

Who knows, maybe Mark Davis starts a fashion trend with his “bowl cut” look? Winning is contagious and the bandwagoners will follow.

It’d be great if the ‘black hole’ fans in that section ALL had that haircut in support of the new owner.
I really thought after all the flak he’s gotten for it that Mark would’ve gotten a different hairdo but i look at the new pics from camp and sure enough….there it is.
July 31st, 2012 at 7:19 am
I get what you’re sayin Guest…..
I think at least with “ME” personally, I’m so ecstatic with some of our other skilled positions like
QB, RB, WR..and even our O-Line, that TE gets kind of a shoulder shrug…..ONLY because I don’t feel like our TE’s SUCK. They’re not proven of course, Not a Clark, Grondkowski, or Gates….But they’ll do. I don’t think the offense is going to succeed or fail based on the guys we have at TE. Ausburry gets love because of his HWS and great hands. He’s got LOTS of “Potential”. But I know potential doesn’t give a warm fuzzy. I feel like he’s going to be the best TE we have on roster. If he can catch the ball AT ALL, he’s gonna draw coverage period…. and he can catch. It’s just my feeling, and it doesn’t mean squat.

We all do…..the season didn’t turn around last year because Campbell went down. It turned around because McFadden went down. He takes us from an average offense that turns the ball over a lot under Palmer, to an explosive offense that can cover up for our crap defense and win the division.
If he goes down for any significant time our season is over. We have to hope he has a 2010 season in terms of injuries.

July 31st, 2012 at 7:41 am
Sorry if I keep beating a dead horse, but look at what Al Davis did in his latter years with the TE position. He correctly listened against his own gut to draft a blue chip TE with a high 2nd round draft pick and took stud TE Zach Miller. He was proven right in not throwing the big bucks at Zach. But as if to spite his face, took a couple of very late round fliers in last years draft as if that was going to solve things???
All it showed is that Al Davis and penchant for freak athletic projects who are longshots rather than trust the talented scouts who recognize top college talent and invest accordingly with high draft picks.
I have hope that Reggie will invest wisely next draft with a high pick for a blue chip talent TE.

I agree that DMAC is our best weapon on offense, and he was/ is the key to our success, but Palmer and the WRs can get us to the POs w/out him, if they need to IMO. if DMAC stays healthy, and our defense improve to an avg unit, I expect us to go deep in the POs.
I think we have a better team than Houston.

We will have to see if he can cover anyone first. All his highlights show him just blitzing….not like Curry is great in coverage, so he stands a chance of matching Curry in that area….McClain is better in coverage than I expected….that is the one area he has actually been decent in.

@G123 #466
you’ve got it backwards. Al Davis wanted Zach Miller back in Oakland, but not at what Seattle was willing to pay. To try and offset the loss, he signed Kevin Boss as a replacement – not some young scrub TE’s
If there is a Oakland GM that doesn’t value the TE position, you gotta look straight at BigMac. He cut Bossman and replaced him with some veteran nobody named Tory Humphrey. I think he’s 29 years old with like 3 career starts and we’re probably his 5th team. Haven’t heard much at OTA’s or camp (thus far) about the undrafted rookie from Boise State (Efaw?) ….
Reggie was cool with Al Davis’ scraps (Myers, Gordon, Ausberry)
if Al Davis came back and were GM for a day, he’d probably use some of that extra cash in his wallet on Shockey or Shaincoe and you would be pleased. Perhaps Reggie isn’t looking for a stopgap though? Maybe he wants one or two of these kids to develop and get a shot to become a playmaker in this league?

I agree that DMAC is our best weapon on offense, and he was/ is the key to our success
===================
Couldn’t agree more, and I think this guy is the best running back we’ve ever had……YES it’s a bold statement. NO I’m not taking away from Allen, Jackson, or any of the old dawgs, but just on a “Per Touch” production, I think DMAC is the most Dynamic, hard running, explosive threat we’ve ever had at the position. His injury perpensity is heart wrenching because he IS elite and irreplaceable but he’s plagued. I can’t stand the thought of the ORG not retaining him because of his injury tendancy. We’ll probably never have a guy like him again… It’s a shame on one hand, but it’s a beautiful thing to watch when he’s Tip Top. I just love that he says he won’t change his aggressive run style. If he gets hurt playing the way he does, then he can live with that……And so can I. Give em HELL DMAC….Run your bloody ass off. Yer my BOY ! ! !

Rockstar post 488,
I know looking back on it and hindsight being 20/20 it appears on the surface that Al Davis signed a legit TE to replace overpriced stud Zach Miller. But Kevin Boss had a history of concussions and wasn’t nearly the TE he was billed to be. Al bought an illusion that looked good getting off the bus.
I agree with you that Reggie seems to have thrown the towel on signing a legit NFL TE, settling for AD’s “table scraps”. Well said. That’s all they are, and hoping late round flyers work out is like going to the quik-e-mart and buying a lotto scratcher. Wish me luck!

Why didn’t he attempt to sign Shiancoe shortly after extending Branch with his new cap space? Shiancoe ended up taking $1.2 mill to be the NE Pats #3TE. It could have been done if Reggie wanted. Apparently he’s not that concerned about the TE position.

Lechler and Bartell are both on the Non-Football Injury list as of this morning.

Would you happen to have a link so we can track this list?
=========================================
I read it on Twitter before I came into work.

Cool thanks bro, really hope Bartell ends up being only day to day. 3 Dallas players failed conditioning..Felix Jones RB, Brodney Pool S and Holmes WR.
July 31st, 2012 at 8:53 am
The Shamwow actually does work good! My old roommate spilled half a can of coke on my carpet and then placed the Shamwow on it and it pretty much sucked it up (like the commecial). Now for drying cars after washing…not as good as advertised!

Lechler is injured and he may join Curry on the PUP list. Great value for $5.75 million against the cap. How hard is it to kick a ball?!
I can’t help it, I love Germans and their products. Time to buy a Shamwow!

Injuries aside, what have I missed that has everyone dismissing or giving poor grades to J Ford? At least for stretches he was arguably the most dangerous scoring threat in the league.
He can score from anywhere on the field, has heart, and good hands, and seems to step up in the clutch. I think some of you have mild amnesia, so I include the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vb4zP0WOyQ

@TxRaider,

He hasnt shown the ability to run routes.
Dangerous with the ball? Yes.
But as a WR, he is a injury prone 1 trick pony at this point.

Ford has cat-like body control when he goes up for a ball and grabs at the high point, sometimes thru the defenders basket, and secures it. He makes good defenders look bad and so I think he’s a lot more than a one-trick pony.

GOOD hands even at 5′8″ is a NATURAL WR
Good Swivel has good open field moves to make people miss
Is a ball HAWK, Fights for the ball and wins
Can be used as a runner in reverses
KOR duties
PR duties
Looks like he has a little more to offer than just speed.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:24 am
Only thing that can stop JFORD is himself. If he can somehow stay healthy, you can bet CP3 will fire at him over the entire playing field. And Ford will reward CP3 for his daring to put the ball in tight spots.
JFORD12 = Baller!

July 31st, 2012 at 9:26 am
I have seen Jacoby Ford make plays in a Raiders uni. Can’t say the same for Terrelle Pryor, but so many people already have him as the next great raider. Give me a break. He will be playing for the Seahawks before the regular season opener. Just my opinion.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:27 am
To say that Ford is only good for being “fast” is crazy imho. Ford has scored tds as a RB, KR, and WR. I doubt he scored those TDs because he was MERELY fast. A smart coach would get the rock in Fords hands and let him do his thing. The Raiders have employed a gazillion track stars and 99.9% of those guys never made impact plays like Ford did in his first 2 years.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:27 am
No one in this world has the grounds to say Jacoby Ford is a ball hawk, none at all.
If so, you could say he cant catch, because he’s dropped as many balls as he has gone up and ‘got’..

It’s unfair to JFORD to drop any conclusions on him at this stage of his career. He’s only been in the league 2 years and most of his second year he was injured. And he didn’t come on till late in his rookie year. I have no doubt though, just my personal opinion, that had Ford not been hurt, he’d have had a great 2011 season. What little I have seen of JFORD has impressed me as a RECIEVER. He’s going to be a big asset in other areas as well. I don’t know why or how that versatility should count against him?

Ford’s got best in flight adjustment on the ball since, and I don’t say this lightly…Freddie B.
Runs good routes. His knock is of course as a down field blocker.
Hes an excellent receiver and a terror on returns. He stays healthy hes gonna look good 4 us…
July 31st, 2012 at 9:32 am
Re-watch all the games last year, and look at Palmer’s face after Ford’s routes. Says it all.
Especially the last game vs SD where Ford’s bad route led to a season ending INT.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:33 am
I have seen Ford took a typical out pattern and scored a TD on it from Grad. I have seen Ford go up and bailed out JC and Grad. I have seen Ford take a typical handoff and took it to the house.

speaking of handoffs to WR’s, what do you call those slant and hitch routes that DHB does? Those are about as close to a forward handoff as you can get. They compile receiving stats just the same, but can you realisitically compare those receiving skills to JFord’s traffic circus catching?
July 31st, 2012 at 9:42 am

Why not? You have to look at someone’s growth pattern and potential right? DHB was FORCED FED by Al Davis to ensure his success. Yet he finally had a decent season by nfl WR standard. But because he SUCKED so badly in his first 2 seasons and of being the 7th drafted overall that it became a HUGE celebration. You got one guy that has 6 tds after 3 seasons and being forced by the owner to start every game. You got a 4th rounder that basically scored 9 tds in his first 2 seasons. It’s not an even close comparison in my book.

I brought up 4 or 5 disgusting plays from Ford’s last two seasons yesterday.
only 1 of them was rebuked (WK17 versus SD) when they said he ran a good route, but slipped.
the other complaints? crickets.
even still, I was greeted with a “some raider fans hate on a player unjustly” and a “you dont know football” , lol

Hey folks, what are you do concerned about McFadden’s health for? If he gets hurt, we can just line up Jacoby Ford back there. Lmao!
July 31st, 2012 at 9:47 am
Hue Jack made Ford one of his key component to the offense last season until Ford got hurt. And Hue is a WR coach.

As I recall in camps that was the rave by Hue, was JFORDS route running.

JFORD was a 3rd pick and you want to trade JFORD right?
You also mention you would trade him for a 3rd. If he is so bad as a WR who in the H3ll would give you a 3rd???If he is so awful lets trade him for a comp 6th or 7th.

Seriously. The kid was a rookie and broke his hands in camp last year. You found 4 disgusting plays. No problem. The WR position is one of the toughest position for an NFL rookie to be productive early on. I think I can prob find twice as many for Murphy and DHB in their Raider career so far. The kid scored 9 tds in his first 2 seasons. 4 of them as a WR. Our best WR last year has 6 in his entire career as a Raider…after being forced fed by Al Davis.
July 31st, 2012 at 9:58 am
@Thec
Actually, Ford was a 4th rounder (108th overall).
but he has value as a return man, providing he can stay healthy and secure the football. He’s heading into his 3rd NFL season, when most young wideouts start to “get it” and has off the charts potential
But like I said, we have a plethora of talented WR’s and if somebody offered us a decent draft pick or player for him, we’d be foolish to turn it down.
I’m not saying cut him or trade him for a pair of socks!!

TP had a really rough day, really a bad week, feel sorry for him really I do. But the bar is set too low for DA right now. Sounds like he’s a ground zero. Daily improvement from what baseline I wonder? That’s the info that Knapp and DA won’t volunteer. But at this point, he’s not even a blip on the radar for the QB2 competition. And as much as everyone wants to see this kid in preseason, we’d be better off giving Leinart heavy reps to be ready if needed. TP has to find his inner resolve and play loose and fast and let his natural ability catch up with the coaching.
=============================================
TP isn’t even a blip on the radar for QB2 ?
Based on what ? Having a poor first day of camp ?
And we know he had a poor day based on what ?
Tweets about a fumbled snap, tripping after taking a snap, the pick on an attempted screen ?
Sure, it doesn’t sound good and isn’t encouraging – but let’s not overreact here.
The fumble and trip can happen to anyone. Not a big deal. You think TP isn’t capable of taking a snap and dropping back ? That’s ridiculous.
At this stage, what we need to be looking for is an ability to throw accurately, know the playbook and run it correctly.
This is just practice. First step in a learning curve.
We’ll get a better idea of what Pryor can bring in the exhibition games. How does he react on the fly ? Can he read a defense, make the right improvisations, take command of the huddle ? Can he make a throw, handle pressure ?
JFB was so correct when he said this board is going to be crazy when people overreact to tweets from camp by Corky.
Advocating that Matt Lice gets heavy reps bcz TP isn’t on the radar and Lice needs those reps to get ready makes no sense.
To start with, Lice is a veteran of the system that Knapp is supposedly going to run. I recall people saying he was brought in precisely bcz of that. It’s even been reported that he’s been giving Palmer tips about the system.
The point is, Lice doesn’t need ‘heavy reps’ to get ready. All he has to do is get his timing with the WRs down.
Again, unless you think Lice can ever develop into a potential starter – IT IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO GIVE HIM EXTENSIVE TIME AT THE EXPENSE OF DEVELOPING TP.
You state that: “TP has to find his inner resolve and play loose and fast and let his natural ability catch up with the coaching.”
I agree.
That won’t happen sitting on the bench and watching Lice throw helium balloons.
C’mon man.

@ 99,
Maybe it’s just a bad day. Maybe it’s all a misunderstanding about TP. But you can bet that coach’s words about him wanting ‘daily’ improvement had to come with a bit of a scowl of disappointment. He didn’t sound happy. Not the kind of encouraging words that are typical in preseason fluff pieces, would you say?
But let’s throw something new out there. The whole premature determination that Matt Leinart is some scrub QB who will never develop. Fact is, he was finally getting his act together in Houston and maturing into an NFL level QB. Cork himself said that he threw the prettiest ball in camp. He’s not going to challenge CP3 ever, but it’s nice to know he’s gotten back on track. Some humility goes a long way and the hard work is showing now.
I used to think Leinart would be a good wet nurse for TP, but eventually TP has to take the bull by the horns and handle that battle all to himself. I’m not rooting for or against anyone in the backup QB battle. But let the best man win….where it counts. On the field.

JFORD
GOOD hands even at 5′8″ is a NATURAL WR
Good Swivel has good open field moves to make people miss
Is a ball HAWK, Fights for the ball and wins
Can be used as a runner in reverses
KOR duties
PR duties
Looks like he has a little more to offer than just speed.
================================================
Spot on.
I’m with you and Guest123 on this one.
It’s repeatedly stated that Ford runs bad routes. Really ? Footwork looks good to me. Gets off the line well. Sharp cuts. Breaks at full speed effortlessly. I can only assume he gets to where he’s supposed to be. The posters who say he’s a poor route runner must know something I don’t. The slip against SD makes him a poor route runner ? Not in my book.
Been said he doesn’t have good hands. When’s he had a drop ? I remember one in the first SD game, right before he got hurt. Real nice toss by JC that clanked off his hands, huge gain if he catches it.
RR mentions the ‘drop’ against the Whiners.
Watch that again. JC throws a panic pass at 100 MPH to Ford who is 7 yards away from him and isn’t even expecting it. Not a very good indication of having bad hands in my opinion.
Ford can run routes.
Ford has good hands.
Ford will fight for the ball.
Ford is the Raids most dangerous deep threat.
Ford might be the best KR in the game.
Have to love the people that want to trade the ’smurf’ and replace him with someone like T.O.
Yeah, that’ll improve the team.
Know what I mean, RR ?

palmer will be a top 10 QB which will make DHB a top 10 WR this year cause RunDMC will be tearing up the trenches and the oppossing defenses wont know whats coming.
TP will be better than yall think and the defense in its new form will be monsterous. i expect us to be 3-1 at the bye week and 5-3 hopefully 6-2 at mid-season mark.

Denarius Moore is the most dangerous WR in every category. Period.
None of our WRs are good route runners at this point.
Dead issue.

No, live issue. See..compare this WR crew to a few years ago with Murph, Shillens, Bey. This is actually a deadly group of receivers who can each of them score on any play. Even willing to throw some love on Bey and include him in this group. It’s exciting to have potential 4 WR formations and have Carson pick them apart as if he was Drew Brees. It’s gonna be fun having this kind of ammo all on the field at the same time.

The one rumor that can be taken seriously at this point is the D-backs departing with shortstop Stephen Drew, according to Nightengale. The 29-year-old should be traded on Tuesday, most likely to the Oakland Athletics.
That would be good!

Bey is becoming my favorite Raider. He is always talking trash to opposing players.
He is not a natural at catching the ball and he is not as fluid as many WR’s but he is HUGE and FAST and something nobody has mentioned.
He is durable, not injury prone. I will make a plunkdiction. He is pro bowl bound this year.
I have plunkdicted that five Raiders will be pro bowlers this year.

I wouldn’t argue that Ford is a great route runner, but in the NFL, where there’s a premium on finding guys who can get to the end zone and change games quickly, I think he’s WAY more valuable than a lot of people on this blog seem to believe.
Oh how I’m looking forward to CP lining up with Ford, Moore and DHB spread out with Dmac in the backfield. I know I drink the kool-aid, but I have to think this lineup gives defensive coordinators sleepless nights.

Bey had 64 catches on 113 targets for a catch % of 56.6%.
So if he could hope to get 80 catches, CP3 is going to force him the ball 143 times? nu-huh I don’t think so. Not with that completion rate. That’s well below league avg.

I’m sure last year HJ told his QB-look,you have to throw the ball to DHB.It doesn’t matter if anyone else is open,you must throw it in his direction.LMAO

Prob not. But I am sure this happened while Al was still alive…”DHB is our number 1 WR. He’s gonna be great.”
Wasnt DHB taken out of the starting slots after Al died for a few games until we hit injuries on our roster?

Fantasy Analysis
There’s a chance Heyward-Bey gets hit with a suspension but it’s understood that players who suffer their first violation with the law typically don’t also receive a suspension. Heyward-Bey proved that he belonged in the NFL in his third year, getting 64 grabs for 975 yards and four touchdowns. Expectations are that he’ll serve as the Raiders’ top receiving target again this season. So long as a suspension doesn’t drag his value down, we see Heyward-Bey as a quality reserve receiver in the majority of leagues worth a middle- to late-round pick.
(Updated 07/23/2012).
We hope, as Allen said, Moore is going to be fine. He should be drafted as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver with a mid-round pick, but he could definitely emerge as a starter. The key will be if Moore is 100 percent healthy by the time training camp starts.
(Updated 06/13/2012).
Ford finished 2011 with 19 catches for 273 yards with one touchdown. While he has some big-play ability, he has a long way to go before becoming a reliable option in Fantasy. Plan on ignoring Ford in the majority of Fantasy leagues on Draft Day.

This is the moment where you DO make a run. The A’s have a bunch of youngsters that have no idea they are supposed to finish third. Make one savvy move and you could have a young good team for a few years with no names who end up being superstars. That’s how it is done.
July 31st, 2012 at 12:19 pm
“He and D. Moore could make for a nice combo for Carson Palmer. DHB has big-play ability and could be a viable spot-starter in fantasy. His third season in 2011 was basically triple the amount of production from his 1st two seasons, so look for continued progression with a full year with Palmer at QB.”

Darrius Heyward-Bey primed for breakout year
By Steve Wyche
Updated: June 5, 2012
Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Raiders: It’s arguable that he crossed the threshold last season when he caught a career-best (by far) 64 passes for 975 yards. The guy has been dogged by being overdrafted (seventh overall) in 2009, but finally played like he wants to be a No. 1 wideout. An offseason DUI arrest he said he’ll plead not guilty to could motivate him even more.
Heyward-Bey came on strong at the end of last season after taking a midseason dip following the season-ending injury to quarterback Jason Campbell and the arrival of Carson Palmer. That late-season momentum and an offseason to build chemistry with Palmer could have its benefits. Then again, if his production dips or he stops improving, he’ll be unable to shake the overdrafted tag.

Never said if someone else is open. But he had a lot of timing routes where he is the primary in a 3 step drop.
I don’t think he will be our #1 if everyone else is healthy. I still don’t think he’s that great.
Now I would rather have him back returning punts then D Moore. That I would like to see.
July 31st, 2012 at 12:31 pm
DHB was on scholarship last year?
he was inactive in Week 2 (Bills) due to a kneee injury. then caught only 1 pass the next week versus the Jets
Didn’t even get a pass thrown his way in Weeks 9 & 10 following the bye week.
I’d say somewhere between the wins against the Vikings & Bears, Heyward-Bey became Palmer’s new favorite target. he was a BEAST during the final 7 games of the season

You would too if you saw what was inside it. At least he could throw the ball 80 yards from his knees.

Nerds, after a busy couple days of humping hot hizzies, smoking hella weed and thumpin’ blog goofs, I’ve decided to spend today taking care of my lovely weiner
That involves a nice long soak in the hot tub, applying exotic ointments and then a few spritzes of Drakkar Noir
Repeat x16
The Beeech Lawg should be ready for going bareback on strippers this weekend, keep them fingers crossed

Rangers acquire Ryan Dempster.
July 31st, 2012 at 1:01 pm
The receiver closest to DHB’s 975 yards receiving was Percy Harvin who had 967 on 87 catches and 120 targets. That’s a catch pct of 72.5%.
Now compare Bey’s 64 catches on 113 targets for 56.6%
We can’t afford to force feed Bey the ball anymore. Think of all the lost series that stalled out on 3rd and long. Bey should have had somewhere around 75 catches with all those targets, and that’s taking into account his high ypc. The 10 or 11 unconverted throws probably costs a few possessions and who knows how critical that actually was.
2012 is not the time to force feed Bey the ball to try to prove a point. It’s time to get everyone involved and make defenses pay while getting that YPA up for Carson.
Bey (to his credit) has gotten better in his career, but he needs to scale a new hill and step up his game even more.

Ouch
“So it’s with that skepticism in mind that I offer, not a prediction, but a flat pre-election assessment: If President Bar@ck Ob@ma is to win, he is going to have to overcome a set of numbers that no incumbent President, or incumbent party, has ever managed to surmount.
The jobless rate has been stuck at just above 8 per cent for months; you have to go back to 1936 to find a President re-elected with a higher unemployment rate. And in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s case, it was a far better number than he had inherited. Plus, growth was booming.
Today, real growth is at 1.5 per cent. In the economic forecasting models, this portends what even the liberal arts majors have been predicting: a very close election.
The core question for many voters—“Are you generally satisfied with the country’s direction, or has the U.S. gone off on the wrong track”—gets a 32.7-60.7 negative answer, according to the RealClearPolitics average. Generally, an incumbent party needs to have at least a 35% positive response to this question to win the election, says the Gallup Organization.
The consumer confidence level is now about 60 per cent. No incumbent party has ever kept the White House with a number anything like that. (It was slightly higher, at 65 per cent, in 1980 when Carter lost in a landslide.)
Now, try this as a thought exercise. Forget who is running, what the latest gaffe of the day is, who is outraged and what latest insult to what group has been perpetrated by the candidate or his staff. Ignore whom you’re rooting for, and just look at those numbers with the ice-cold heart of a bean counter.”

People still ripping on Ford and DHB huh?
What a bunch of idiots you all are. Seriously, you guys rip on our own players more than the Chief or Bronco fans do.
Guys like Romac deserve some negativity, but even he gets 10x the amount of crap he deserves. The guy played hurt all last year and has to constantly try and make up for athletes posing as OLBs. The guy didnt just stop knowing how to play football when he got to Oakland.
Ford has won us games. And DHB has the work ethic of a Jerry Rice. All it is going to take is one small mis-step and this years flavor-of-the-month (DMoore) will be on all of y’alls chitlist. Some if you guys need to check which colors you actually bleed.

True. But what have the conservatives done to improve the economy? Nothing. Most Americans know this. Are the conservatives responsible for the American economy tanking taking the rest of the world with it? Yes. Most American know that as well. So, while the conservatives have done absolutely NOTHING to improve the economic situation, they have done an awful lot to prohibit abortion in and around this country. That has played well to the base conservatives. As for the rest of the country, they all too well realize you can not vote for conservativism unless you want to live in places like Mississippi or Ubekastan.

exotic ointments meaning some salve he got from the doctor from paying the 49 yr-old stripper w/ 5 kids to “ride bareback” on him.
could this guy be more pathetic? constantly telling a bunch of dudes about his little weiner. this dude is a closet-case. guaranteed.
note how often he likes to talk about my “nob”.

Right now today if you bet $100 on the current president to win and he did you would win $58.40.
If you bet $100 that Mitt would win in November and he did you would win $148.32.
So as you can see the odds makers in Vegas are saying that the current president will win.
Whatever I am voting Independence anyways I will not vote for either of those parties as I hate them both equally.
It took both parties to get us into this mess over the last 80 years so I blame them both!

an internet partier, raising the roof
but we all know he’s a reality goof
sitting alone in his hole-y underpants
coming up with his ridiculous rants
smoking his make-believe dope
he likes to be tied up with a rope
an S&m creep in a leather mask
beating off to pictures of amy trask
a little pathetic middle aged guy
remembering that one time the cool guys let him get high
