19-0!!!!!!!!!
August 6th, 2012 at 5:04 pm
I’m rooting for you Conroy, let’s do this.
August 6th, 2012 at 5:04 pm
Interesting that McGee is ahead of Criner?
August 6th, 2012 at 5:07 pm
Next Monday can’t get here fast enough!!
August 6th, 2012 at 5:13 pm
Dominique Hamilton has a shot at a roster spot now that Ivey is gone.
August 6th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
18-1 i dont see us beating denver 2x with kieth brookings there
August 6th, 2012 at 5:17 pm
Interesting that McGee is ahead of Criner?
#################
I had to go back and look at that. Could Jerry be mistaken? McGee must be a bad mthr fkr if he’s got a spot in front of Criner.
August 6th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
if palmer goes down, barnes will be protecting leinart’s blindside. Hope tp is ready
August 6th, 2012 at 5:32 pm
slowtae spencer are they serious?
August 6th, 2012 at 5:34 pm
No real surprises there.
Guess Gordon ahead of Ausberry sort of surprises me a little..
Curry better heal fast or Burris might take his spot.

==========================================
Brooking has been playing LB in the NFL for 15 years. I can hear his bones creaking 1000 miles away.
August 6th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
apparently DHB no longer plays WR for the Raiders?
August 6th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
sounds good for now, to evaluate. ill wait until the second to the last preseason game to determine what itll look like.
i really hope to beat the cowgirls EVEN THOUGH its just preseason. its a good morale boost for the team and new coaches. and most of all, more than half the people of my town and people i know are cowgirl fans….so its bragging rights!
RAIDER FAHQIN NATION BABY!
August 6th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
Crap. Nevermind.
August 6th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
2 sets of WR Vegas
August 6th, 2012 at 5:43 pm
Theres a few surprises to me…
McGee was one. Gordon another what with missing the first week of camp entirely.
Theres no listing for punter. Just holder.
JFord at PR until I remembered Moore is hurt again/still. Jones over Woodson what with Tiawan bein hurt….
August 6th, 2012 at 5:43 pm
*Goodson
August 6th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
Was Underwood always a safety or wasn’t he a CB?
August 6th, 2012 at 5:45 pm
We are thin as runny $#it at LB if you ask me…
August 6th, 2012 at 5:45 pm
Two that stood out to me
Criner 3rd string behind McGee most tagged this
AND
Hurd listed as Vehldeer’s backup
August 6th, 2012 at 5:46 pm
Not a lot of depth in that defensive front seven. DE and LB have me especially concerned.
August 6th, 2012 at 5:46 pm
Jerry McDonald @Jerrymcd
Wouldn’t read too much into depth chart positions of some rookies . . . Criner will move up
August 6th, 2012 at 5:47 pm
Who’s Vegas?

=====================================
With AC on the PUP list it looks a little lighter than it should.
August 6th, 2012 at 5:51 pm
Gordon is a better blocker than Ausberry.
August 6th, 2012 at 5:55 pm
JLofty I have the exact same opinion at LB.
my question to you sir is how do we improve??
Do you in your opinion think coaching will fix this problem?
or do we go after a guy like E J Henderson?

Remember that the LB depth chart does not show Curry.

###########################
I think that I have seen both of them play for about 30 seconds in my life. I’ll take your word for it.
August 6th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Burris and Goethel are more than adequate options for backup players.
Crawford and Toffelson at DE.
August 6th, 2012 at 5:58 pm
but we have the great burris…the next ray lewis.
August 6th, 2012 at 5:59 pm
anyone notice how websites you’ve recently searched end up in that advertisement bar on the right side of this webpage?

He’s not an impulse buyer. He’s a coupon cutter looking for the best deal.
August 6th, 2012 at 6:06 pm
Before its said and done…Owen Schmitt will start at FB…Reece just cant run block….he isnt adequate not even below average…he is flat out terrible
He is not a FB he is a utility player….raiderparadise is wrong as hell
August 6th, 2012 at 6:07 pm
Jeff Otah or Marcus McNeil to play RT???

And Jhill….coach Allen can say all he wants to the media…we all know whats true…Tommy Kelly cant play the run at all…scheme or no scheme…all of that other schit is an excuse…us ppl who wanna win are hoping for him to leave this team as soon as possible
Tommy Kelly listed at NT? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…thats the funny of the day
August 6th, 2012 at 6:08 pm
B,
Reece as some type of H-Back in passing situations?

Nobody said Burris was Ray Lewis. We DID say he could be a quality starting LB for us, and nothing so far has contradicted that.

37. He bocked pretty well when dmac was leading the nfl..

Thanks for playing Bucky Larsen

##########################
You may be right…but. I think the LB crew will be better this season. I’ve read some good things about McClain and Wheeler. Curry will be back soon. Burris and Stupar do not sound like they are chumps. Goethel has remained healthy. Ihenacho has turned some heads. A few more rookie LB’s chompin.
If the Allen/Tarver Defense is truly going to change for the better…..we’ll see.
August 6th, 2012 at 6:13 pm
I noticed that reece can block downfield.. And that he’s a weapon. If you only bring him in to pass the D will know..
August 6th, 2012 at 6:14 pm
And im marks hair.. Not a person who looks like mark..

Pumpkin pie hair cutted freak….reece is a great athlete no doubt but if you are on road in playoffs you want him going head up vs ray lewis to open holes? No you dont….Schmitt way more up to the task
Reece is a utility player not a FB…yes he has value but not as a lead blocker
And alot of teams period know what you are running in most cases…this isthe NFL….you are paid alot to do the impossible and beat the odds!

August 6th, 2012 at 6:20 pm
51. Oh yeah.. We want yhem to know what we’re doing.. Right.. How about I call in you boy schmitt in short yardage.. When I need him.. Every other down should be reece.

Nope typical dumb idea from you…..why not have schmitt in so you can set the tone for the game as regular teams do?
WE bring in Reece to catch or run it never to lead block

62. No I just saw a ton of screen names, and I liked the ones named after something.. Dennis allens visor or lyle alzados shrunkin testicles.. And I had just seen alot of mark d taking over the team so I just chose it.. His ginger hair in the opee cut was just funny
August 6th, 2012 at 6:32 pm

He will surely help the game planning aspect of things since he has a big pool of knowledge to pull from…..i saw him helping at TC with RBs and TEs catching the ball and running routes which makes since since he was a WR coach at one time
He surely will be in on the weekly meetings…too smart of a offensive coach to say just sit there and shut up to

I’m said before its said and done…meaning before season ends…Schmitt will be our primary lead blocker….football is still football and certain things never change…you cant have a suck ass lead blocker

Point is they still lead block better than Reece byu a wide margin
This is not disputed at all mayne
Philly didnt run the ball for schit ever under reed
See last two seasons….guess who was their lead back….I dont want a pro bowler or a HOF guy….just want someone who wont get punked when blocking….remember REECE vs Urlacher last year? LMAO exactly! He cant do it when its time to be against the stout gangstas…he turns into a WR then

honestly i really dont care. but i dont think it a good idea to alternate FBs as the D will key in on that and make us a lil predictable.

Glad to see DVD made big strides in the offseason.
And a big ups to the headbanger Myers. He got a lot of flack in here from the fold wanting a speedy playmaker at TE; but dude gets the job done and is rarely on the injury report.

Point is they still lead block better than Reece byu a wide margin
This is not disputed at all mayne
Philly didnt run the ball for schit ever under reed
See last two seasons….guess who was their lead back….I dont want a pro bowler or a HOF guy….just want someone who wont get punked when blocking….remember REECE vs Urlacher last year? LMAO exactly! He cant do it when its time to be against the stout gangstas…he turns into a WR then

honestly i really dont care. but i dont think it a good idea to alternate FBs as the D will key in on that and make us a lil predictable.

You dont care? Wow come on bruh I know you care! Otherwise you wouldnt have spoke on it lol
I agree the alternating fullbacks thing is lightweight lame….play Reece at RB and WR…ya know a utility player…I still want him on my team just not lead blocking…IMO DMAC woulda had more yards the last 2 seasons if he had a real blocker in front of him the whole time

Funny you bring that up. In last years AFC Championship game, both teams ran a balanced attack. In fact both NE and Balt ran 31 times and passed 36 times completing 22. Almost identical attacks. The difference in the game was two Brady pix and another NE fumble. Otherwise it would have been a blowout.

NE Has beaten pitt more than vice versa No beat them last year and GB got them in the SB and the CARDS would’ve had they ass too if weren’t for the last minute drive and we all know Seattle got cheated as well. like I said spread’em out

when you play a top DEF like pitt an Bmore gotta spred’em out. pass them to death and mix in a few runs to keep them honest
*******************
Haha and teams been so successful doing that eh?
============================================
Funny you bring that up. In last years AFC Championship game, both teams ran a balanced attack. In fact both NE and Balt ran 31 times and passed 36 times completing 22. Almost identical attacks. The difference in the game was two Brady pix and another NE fumble. Otherwise it would have been a blowout.

All this talk of cap hell we were in and how it’s prohibited Reggie from doing much of anything and yet he sits with over 6 mill. (for this yr.) that he CAN use and does nothing with it.
Meanwhile, Denver just keeps adding on and now pick up Brookings.
You can’t save it for next yr. and 6 mill. is a hefty 1st yr. sum to pay someone to help this team.

This is a tough out for ANY D in the NFL. 2 of these guys will be singled up, and to add insult to the injury, if you have a TE who can grab and go, he too will draw a single…
CP3 will be throwing darts, just hope he doesnt get board, and keep that chip he has.

So he’s waiting to use it on guys who aren’t good enough to play for other teams?
I don’t have any particular guys in mind but 6 mill. would bring in a pretty good player. 6 mill. is still a big contract for a real good player.
I’m not a gm so i don’t everyone who’s out there, but there has to be somebody…Denver keeps finding them and noone can tell me WE didn’t need some lb help of the caliber of a Brookings.

$$$$$$$$$$
Some good/ solid Vets will get cut to make room for younger and cheaper talent that plays at the same level. Why pay a guy $4-6 million when you can get the same level of production from your 4th round pick for a lot less (especially if you need cap space to sign other players)?
August 6th, 2012 at 9:24 pm
Deliberate is fine but don’t u have to spend that money..somewhere?
I don’t expect him to rashly throw it all away, but even that would be preferable to just sitting on it.
I say this cuz we’ve heard all offseason how restricted Reggie is cuz of the cap…Heck, even HE said it himself.
If “deliberate” means he’s waiting to make a nice strike with it than that makes more sense.
August 6th, 2012 at 9:28 pm
Good points O. I just think a guy like Brookings could’ve been a nice asset for us instead of Denver.
Denver isn’t dumb. They obviously see the value of a vet like that.
We are not set in my opinion.
August 6th, 2012 at 9:29 pm
Cap space allows to trade for players, but I don’t think that will happen. Reggie likes his picks.
August 6th, 2012 at 9:34 pm
I think they need a guy to sub for DJ Willams (suspended) for 6 games, and that’s why they signed him.

==========================================
Methinks Reggie was waiting to see what positions needed help, and is now waiting for cutdowns.
For instance, the emergence of Lonyae Miller means we doesn’t have to go after Cedric Benson or Ryan Grant, but the crappiness of Spencer means we might be on the lookout for another veteran CB. And Travis Ivey’s gastronomical exploits mean we might be looking NT as well.

Duck, You know who im talking about…Y not.
I get the thoughtful team building stuff but nobody will ever convince me that passing up on good players that can help your team win and waiting to pick up guys on the scrap heap is somehow better than acquiring established, proven players.
That just doesn’t make logical sense.
It is not wrong to pick up good players.
If u can’t afford good players…than fine, but if u can…get ‘em.

Nice to see your making an effort.

DJ: If you’re referring to Plaxico, the man has talent, but would he present the kind of role model Reggie and DA are looking for, and would he be content to make backup money while being the third wideout (at best)?
August 6th, 2012 at 10:17 pm
I’m not saying throw money around just to do it, but good established players cost money….for a reason…they’re usually good.
I think this team still needs some help.
I’m not saying to overpay guys just for the sake of doing it either.
If u have some money, and you can get a good player…why wouldn’t u do it?

Duck, I don’t know. Probably not a good role model but Reggie rings a bit disingenuous on that count when the first guy he brings in is a guy arrested multiple times and accused of raping a woman after a charity event(Underwood).
I gotta stop cuz it sounds like i’m ripping on Reggie. I really like the guy and most of what he’s doing.
You’re right about Plax not wanting to be a backup but time is running out for him. Each day noone talks with him makes him a little less cocky I would assume.
August 6th, 2012 at 10:26 pm
Then we get to the question would we as fans want a guy like Plax on the team even IF Reggie wanted him?
That’s a good question. I don’t know. Maybe not.
August 6th, 2012 at 10:30 pm
Duckman, looking in my media guide best guess is Micky Marvin, college scout. Beard matches, anyway. Drafted by and played for Raiders’77-’87 OL.Still working for them.

===============================================
Thoughtful is always good.
Deliberate ? Not always.
Sometimes, he who hesitates is lost.
Say what you want about AD’s mistakes, but I think there’s something to be said in favor of a streamlined decision making process.
Say for example, DA covets a specific FA. He goes to Reggie and says ‘can you get me this guy ?’. Reggie thinks he can get the guy, but it’s gonna be costly and might cause cap havoc. Now Reggie might be running football operations, but he’s got to go to Mark to get the go ahead to spend the dough. Then he might have to restructure several guys and isn’t sure if that’s doable or desireable.
Not an insurmountable problem or a terrific hinderance, after all, most clubs operate this way.
But I think there’s something to be said for having a true football man acting as owner and primary GM.
Most people will disagree, but I like the idea of a football ‘czar’ or you might say, ‘dictator’.
Might have been too much for Al towards the end and he probably micromanaged too much, but I think a streamlined decision making process, with an extremely powerful and competent football man in charge, has inherent merit.
It certainly benefited the Raids at one time.

As the Raiders prepare for their preseason tilt with the Cowboys a couple of interesting notes worth a mention.
-Despite the billion dollar stadium and all the hype, the Raiders…despite their “avaerageness” the last couple yrs. actually have a better record than Dallas.
16-16 -Raiders
14-18 -Dallas
-Over the last 17 yrs. the Raiders have won 4 times as many playoff games as “Americas Team” despite the Raiders only recently emerging from the darkest period in their history.
-Raiders own the all time head to head battle with the Cowboys.

Thanks for asking. I’m fine now. Was a couple of (fluid) quarts low and caused Low Blood Pressure blackout. I got out of the ER just in time to miss the practice. Probably will get a bill for $750 bucks for everything. All in all, not the most successful of days.
Guess it could have been worse
August 6th, 2012 at 11:32 pm
Romo’s sub-performance, combined with some unbelievably idiotic and bonehead schemes from coaches like Rob Ryan have led to the Cowboys’ downfall.
Oh, and don’t forget the meddling owner: reminds me of AD.
August 6th, 2012 at 11:41 pm
Moore has to go; he’s supremely talented but will never hold up. He can’t even go through OTA’s without tweaking his “hammy.” Let’s second that motion with Ford and Taiwan too.
I always wonder why the real durable guys like DHB are sculbs. If we could put Moore in DHB’s body, we would really have something.
August 6th, 2012 at 11:43 pm
Btw, the Ryan brothers are big, fat pigs: the NFL should ban them permanently for: 1) being dumb; and 2)being morbidly obese.
August 6th, 2012 at 11:53 pm
….oh and Jerry is nowhere near the “football guy” that Al Davis was either; but he does have the whole dictatorship thing goin’ on.
================================================
No doubt about that.
Jerry’s only real success came when the ‘other’ JJ, Jimmy Johnson, was doing the coaching and was the main man on draft day.
Still, you get the idea that the right ‘dictator’ acting in conjunction with a good coach can be a formidable combination.
Heard Madden say that Al Davis never turned down his request for anything. I’ll guarantee you Al wasn’t easy to work for, but it must be pretty sweet as a coach knowing that if you need something, you just have to go to one man and he can make it all happen.
A lot of good coaches can’t co-exist with a dictator like Al. There’s going to be some personality clashes. Inevitable when you put strong willed men together.
And of course, it’s unlikely there will ever be another Al Davis.
Extremely doubtful that any sports franchise will ever be run again like the Raids once were, or that any team will be so uniquely associated with a single individual as Al and the Raiders.
August 7th, 2012 at 12:16 am

August 7th, 2012 at 5:10 am
Hard time believing what I am seeing at starting RCB, Shawntae Spencer. After the reports we heard about DVD and comparatively little news from Spencer, I thought it was a given that DVD surpassed him on the depth chart, at least temporarily. While I think that’s only a matter of time, it makes it look like Spencer is one of Reggie’s scholly’s. I was hoping for more transparency from the new reggime.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:29 am
I think this “depth” chart was created prior to camp, and they haven’t made any changes to it after a week of practice.
After the first preseason game, you should see some shuffling.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:30 am
Lots of interesting topics, a few comments:
- FB role in the ZBS is different than other systems, they need to read the play like a Tailback, identify where the hole is developing and hit it just before the Tailback does, then just get in the way of the man coming up to make the tackle, they don’t need to pancake their man, just keep him from getting a clear shot, it’s more of a technical, positional blocking than brute, power isolated blocking.
That’s why a 6′0 230 athletic FB like Justin Griffith was Knapp’s FB in Atl, Oak and Seattle (where he beat out a rookie named Owen Schmitt for the job) JG was not a punishing blocker and even looked like a Tailback, but he knew how to play in the system.
Which leads me to believe that a non-traditional FB-HB like Marcel Reece can play there for us as long as he picks up the nuances of his role.
Reece has already blocked for 2 top 10 rushing attacks in a power system not exactly suited for his skills, ZBS should come easier for him, if he can adapt.
But there’s a role for Owen Schmitt too, short-yardage and goal-line situatons may require a little less ZBS and little more power and Schmitt can probably help there.
Also Knapp should move Reece around a bit to take advantage of his receiving skills, who’s to say you can’t sometimes take the TE or a WR out and use a 3 RB formation where Reece splits out wide and McFadden-Schmitt stay in the backfield, instead of a two TE formation, we can have a two FB set.
There should be a ton of ways to get our RB’s involved, Reece, Schmitt, McFadden and Goodson can all catch, it’s up to Knapp to figure out a way to confuse teams and as the season goes on, more packages and variations should be put in weekly so opponents can’t figure us out.
By the way, Justin Griffith is on Knapp’s staff now as Quality Control Coach, I’m sure he can help out our FB’s as well.
Botomm line, both Reece and Schmitt should help this season, there’s a role for each with Reece likely to see the bulk of playing time.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:35 am
I just don’t think Reece’s heart is in it to block all the time.
Sometimes he does fine, sometimes he runs right past a guy he should block.
I think Reece should get more touches and do less blocking, as compared to last year. He needs more carries, IMO, he was very effective running the ball the last 2 years.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:46 am
Reece is a below avg blocker. And his role in 2 top ten rushing attacks had little to do with him.
Still, like Griffith, he can use his speed and size to get in the way of oncoming tacklers and it would be just enough to spring McFadden thru to the secondary. It could happen, but I agree that Reece doesn’t look like he has his heart in blocking.
Blocking isn’t so much an inate talent as it is something guys want to do and work hard at it. It’s a mindset and a process. Reece is a matchup nightmare out of the backfield, and that’s an important part of the offense in itself. Asking him to do something it takes long and hard dedication and selfless punishment of his body is maybe something he’s not ready to do. It requires a mindset that I think is more apparent in Owen Schmitt, a bruiser that looks to dole it out and takes it too.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:47 am
Just Fire Baby Says:
I just don’t think Reece’s heart is in it to block all the time.
—————————————————-
You’re probably right, I’m sure he’d like to get the ball more often because he makes plays when he has it, that’s why Schmitt should help, having a capable blocker like him should allow Knapp to lessen Reece’s blocking duties and find ways to get him more touches and take advantage of the match-up problems he creates.
Sort of like a reward system, you block well when you have to and you’ll get the ball more often, I guess.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:49 am
Good Morning Nation!!!
August 7th, 2012 at 5:52 am
Reece HAS TO block though sometimes, just to keep defenses honest.
You can’t just block with Schmitt and run FB screens to Reece, teams will pick up on that real quick.
So Schmitt is going to have to run some screens, and Reece is going to have to seal the edge on some blocks, so that when we use them for what they should be doing, they are more effective at it.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:54 am
Reece’s optimal role is when he lines up in the backfield, and then splits out wide lined up over a LB. His size, speed, quicks, and vertical jump are impossible for most LB’s to cover one-on-one. It’s a nice toy to have and opens up the field and forces the defense to react to the mismatch, which opens up another part of the field.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:56 am
Hopefully Griffth can teach Reece the nuances of lead blocking by just getting in the way of the tackler and shedding him off the carrier. Griffith was no bruiser and he learned effectively how to block in the ZBS. Reece can pick up the “Griffith” lead blocking system and not be a liability blocking.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:57 am
guest123 Says:
Reece is a below avg blocker. And his role in 2 top ten rushing attacks had little to do with him.
————————————————
His blocking role will be different, he won’t be asked to take on LB’s head on every play, ZBS is definitely a better fit for his “blocking” skills, as well as his athleticism.
August 7th, 2012 at 5:59 am
Take care Guest and JFB….I’m out early today, see you guys later tonight maybe.
August 7th, 2012 at 6:01 am
Marley,
I agree. ZBS will utilize him rather than mask him. The offense becomes less predictable with Reece an active part of the blocking crew. I have hope he can improve that part of his game.

Good morning Nation! No real surprises on the depth chart, eh?
August 7th, 2012 at 6:15 am
Old article on Justin Griffith joining Knapp in Seatlle back in 2009, both explain the role of the FB in the ZBS and specially in Knapp’s Offense
“I’ve been fortunate and blessed to be a part of this offense most of my career. It doesn’t beat you up. There aren’t a lot of isolations, power blocking and all that kind of stuff. We’re a zone-scheming team. And I get to catch the ball, too.”
In Knapp’s offense, the fullback must think like a tailback just to block the right defensive player.
Instead of being assigned a specific player to block, the fullback must read the defense and react on the fly. It’s not an easy task.
“It’s really important with our outside zone run game, where he is the lead guy,” Knapp said of the fullback.
“We teach our fullbacks to read it like the halfback. There are certain indicators based on the run call that’s being made. He has to see it the same way we want the halfback to see it, so he’ll lead that halfback to the right hole.
He is kind of that floating guy, where if the defense overflows, he can cut back and clean up the backside.
“If they try to stunt inside, he makes that read and bounces it out and the running back follows him. So there’s a lot of burden on him in identifying what’s the correct path in the run game.”
August 7th, 2012 at 6:21 am
Allen said he has a plan on how to help Kelly get over the hump, so to speak.
“We’re going to try to do things to incentivize Tommy not to anticipate so much,” Allen said. “But Tommy’s done a good job. He’s working, he’s trying to do everything that we ask him to do, and we’re going to continue to work on that part of his game as well as the fundamentals and technique.
“He’s a real talented player, and if he’ll just clean up a few things he’s got a chance to be one of the better interior linemen in the league.”

LOL
“over the hump” was a Cable saying, Steve!
Dennis Allen saying that Kelly has “got a chance to be” one of the better interior linemen in the league, tells me that he’s not quite there yet.

The article yesterday and this depth chart makes my point about our DlINE. We have extremely poor value in Kelly and Seymour. We really do not have a starting DT tackle tandem. We will need to rotate four and hope for the best. Seymour is limping again. Kelly has to be coached not to jump offside. For the money they are getting paid-RIDICULOUS!
We may need to shift Tollefson into the DT rotation and hope somebody like Crawford can step up in the DE rotation. We may also look for a late camp cut from another team at DT.
Our number one pick next year will be a DT. Scheme is no substitute for Dline talent. The wrong scheme at the wrong time gets Lamarr Houston trying to cover Dmac. Good D starts on the line and specifically DT.

Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Burris still has a ways to go before he develops into a consistent player and someone that the Raiders can depend upon on an every-down basis.
“He’s been up and down,” Allen said. “He plays really hard, he’s an energetic guy, he understands football but yet, at the same time, we’ve thrown a lot of things at him. He’s still got to continue to improve to get better. He’s going to be a good player. We just got to work through some of the consistency issues.”
Burris isn’t alone, of course, in struggling to grasp everything thrown at them so early in their NFL careers. It’s all part of the learning process, Allen said.
“It won’t be this year,” Allen said, when asked how long it takes a player to grasp everything necessary. “As far as having everything, no, it takes awhile. This is a complex game, and we throw a lot of things at them. What you’re looking for is, every day you wan to see them improve a little bit.

Dennis Allen talks about Miles Burris the same way he talks about Terrelle Pryor!!
yet most of you Raider fans compare Burris to Brian Urlacher & Pryor to Akili Smith, why is that?

Burris is a natural for the game and has amazing instincts. I’d bet he outplays 55 and Wheeler in the Dallas game, Dennis just knows he can eventually be great.imo

All I mean regarding Burris, is that I think DA set the bar higher for him, knowing his possible potential.

I thought people in here already put Kelly in as one of the “better interior linemen in the league”….guess coach thinks Kelly isn’t quite there yet huh?

I think TK is decent, but if he doesn’t perform huge this year, replace the guy.

“He’s kind of worked himself into the No. 1 guy,” Raiders coach Dennis Allen said
Allen said he has been impressed with Myers’ play through the first week-plus of training camp.
“He’s done a nice job of trying to be consistent,” Allen said. “From a receiving standpoint, that’s probably where he’s a little bit more advanced as far as knowing what to do and where to be. We have to continue to work with him on the physical part of the game and the run blocking.

Myers, Ausberry & Gordon = Daniels, Dreessen & Casey !!
Those 3 guys had a combined 100 catches, 1290 yards & 10 TD’s for the Texans last year

Heyward-Bey is starting the preseason game against Dallas?

LOL

RRS, lol at Houston TE compares. Nice try though!
August 7th, 2012 at 7:01 am
so the Seahawks already had WR’s Doug Baldwin, Deon Butler, Benjamin Obomanu, Sidney Rice & Golden Tate
then go out and sign Braylon Edwards & Terrell Owens?
they had Zach Miller & Cameron Morrah at TE, then make a trade for Kellen Winslow?
Matt Flynn definately has some players to throw to!!
Unfortunately for him, Tom Cable’s OL was trash last year and didn’t make any wholesale changes. Plus Marshawn Lynch is facing a suspension

Where is Denarius Moore????? On the WR depth chart?

Sopme guys are REALLY stupid. Marcell Reece was a pro bowl alternate last season, while Schmidt was cut after last season. Schmidt is a slow footed, stone hands back-up and nothing more. The argument is ridiculous. Teams have to game plan for Reece, while Schmidt would NEVER be a factor in anyones game planning.
