Thursday practice notes

By Steve Corkran
Thursday, August 16th, 2012 at 12:59 pm in Oakland Raiders.

As is the norm, the Raiders on Thursday went through an abbreviated practice on the eve of a game. Here are some notes about what to look for in the exhibition game against the Arizona Cardinals.

– Wide receiver Denarius Moore (hamstring), punter Shane Lechler (knee), offensive linemen Zach Hurd (head), Ed Wang (shoulder) and Stefen Wisniewski (calf), fullback Rashawn Jackson (hip), running back Taiwan Jones (hamstring), tight end Brandon Myers (shoulder) and linebacker Aaron Curry (knee) won’t play Friday night, Allen said.
Defensive end Jack Crawford (foot) and defensive tackle Jamie Cumbie (foot) are questionable for the Cardinals game. Cumbie returned to practice Thursday.

– Coach Dennis Allen said running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson are slated to play against the Cardinals. Goodson returned from a neck injury Wednesday after missing a week, including Oakland’s exhibition opener.
Goodson’s return to game action figures to cut into the playing time of first-year back Lonyae Miller, who rushed 13 times Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys.
Don’t look for McFadden to get more than a handful of touches. He rushed twice and caught one pass against the Cowboys.

– We know that recent acquisition Korey Bosworth played at UCLA and spent time with the Detroit Lions the past two seasons. Allen said he doesn’t know much more than that, either.
“I know that he spent some time in Detroit’s camp and he’s a guy that we’re bringing in for some depth at linebacker, giving him an opportunity to play some special teams Friday night and see what he can do,” Allen said.

– Carson Palmer will start Friday night, though he is expected to play more than he did in the first game, Allen said. Matt Leinart will relieve Palmer, as he did the first game, with Terrelle Pryor finishing the game.
This rotation portends Leinart being the clear-cut No. 2 and the odds-on candidate to be Palmer’s primary backup once the regular season rolls around.

– Veteran offensive coordinator Greg Knapp has sole control of the play-calling, Allen said. That doesn’t mean that Allen isn’t involved in the process.
“He calls the plays,” Allen said. “I might, situationally, have a suggestion for him, but he calls the plays and I give him full authority to call it how he sees fit.”
Knapp did likewise during his first stint with the Raiders. That is, until then-coach Tom Cable stripped Knapp of the play-calling duties in favor of handling that role himself.
Allen is a defensive-minded coach. For now, he is immersing himself in all aspects of the team and letting his assistants do their jobs.
“I try to stay involved with them as far as what they’re doing and kind of what the game plan is,” Allen said of the offensive coaches, “but as far as calling the plays on Sunday, I’m not going to get involved in that. If I want him to run it, I might have a suggestion to run it or throw it but, for the most part, I’m going to let him call the game.”

– Allen said he’s still seeking clarity from the tight end spot. Myers’ injury gives Richard Gordon and David Ausberry more opportunities to close ground on Myers, who Allen said earlier in camp is the No. 1 tight end until further notice.
“They’re all in the running to win the job,” Allen said. “Nobody’s locked that job down. Obviously, it’s hurt Brandon that he hasn’t been able to be out here with a shoulder, but I’ve been impressed with what Richard’s been able to do. He gives us a little bit better blocking presence on the edge.
“I’ll be interested to see how he comes out and plays. He was ill a little bit last week going into the game. He should be good to go this week and we’ll see how he plays.”

– Curry remains in Los Angeles receiving treatments on his sore knee. He has yet to take part in any practices since training camp started.
Even so, Allen said, it’s not too late for Curry to work his way back into the mix for the regular-season opener.
“I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility right now,” Allen said. “Obviously, every day we get closer to the beginning of the season that becomes less of a possibility. For him to be ready to go, he’s going to have to be ready here pretty soon to start getting some work.”
Allen said he expects Curry back in Napa next week at some point.

– Allen said that he is like most NFL head coaches in their belief that front-line players get their feet wet in the exhibition opener, play quite a bit more in the second game and the most in the third game.
So, plan on seeing more of the projected starters Friday night than you did Monday night.

    Yaaaayyyy…..Goodson’s playing.

  7. Seymour Bush Says:

    Richard Gordon looks a little bit more of a receiver than we thought. He just needs some confidence and maybe he can emerge as a quality player.

    How was Knapp Redzone production last year???
    ====================================

    Knapp was not a playcaller last year. Rick Dennison was. Knapp was the Q coach. Still, Houston was 10th in the league in points and that was with a rookie 3rd stringer playing a lot down the stretch.

  12. TxRaider210 Says:

    Goodson gonna beast out on some Cardinals!

  13. McFaddens_Sneakers Says:

    #5 he was not a off cordinator, he was QB’s coach. so who knows

    Yo, huge shout out to the Laker’s farm team the Orlando Magic for grooming our next Hall of Fame center for us so we can win more championships

    The Ritz promotoer is paying me hella $$$ to ride up to my gig on my hog

    Any of you blog dorks got any suggestions, I’d love to hear them

    Otherwise, continue discussing the 7th string LB we just signed

  20. Seymour Bush Says:

    Knapp certainly had a hand in working the offense in Houston. Last year Houston was 2nd in the league in rushing, and middle of the pack in passing. But Schaub only made 10 starts. 10 good starts, but 10 starts. One thing none of you have talked about was how well Briesel played in that first game. Dude is goooood.

  21. JLofty Says:

    I wonder what McKenzie’s tolerance for potential vs./but always injured is?

    Knapp was the OC is SF fron 01′ – 03′. they went #3 in scoring in 01′, 13th in scoring in 02′, and 9th in scoring in 03′

    Knapp was OC in Atlanta from 04′ – 06′.
    04′ Atl was 16th in scoring
    05′ Atl was 14th in scoring
    06′ Atl was 25th in scoring.\

    Kanpp was OC in Oakland 07′ – 08′
    07′ Oak was 23rd in scoring
    08′ Oak was 29th in scoring

    Knapp was OC in Seattle in 09′
    09′ Sea was 25th in scoring

  25. JLofty Says:

    Seymour that’s becuase he played like one series, <10 plays I believe. Hardly enough to start grading them out properly…

  26. JLofty Says:

    I have some concerns with Knapp’s playcalling. Def one of my biggest question marks going into the season.
    The hope is players such as Carson Bomber and Darren McFadden make him look good. Thankfully the OLine seems poised to execute and make possible what he has in mind…

    Quite the upgrade from the Hue philosophy of do nothing, so I don’t have to take any blame.

    ============================================

    Unfortunately pretty high it seems when you see guys like Ryan Grant, Atari Bigby etc over in GB. The problem with Taiwan Jones is he couldn’t stay healthy in Div II college. How durable can he be at this level?

  31. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Sounds like Ausberry is the #3 TE, again.

  32. JLofty Says:

    My other big concern/question mark in 2012 (besides Knapp’s pc) is the frailty of our RBs. O plan is run, run, run some more and yet we gots 3 rbs who have REAL trouble staying on the field.
    Hope Reece is practicing his HB/TB moves and playbook…

  33. KoolKell Says:

    Hue Jackson produced an explosive offense last year. I seriously doubt this years offense will be as explosive.

    ++++++++

    This is some good info on KNAPP. Keep in mind that cable the block head took play calling away from him, when he was with the Raids last.

    If KNAPP was the play caller will this is evidence he is not good at it.

    I will however, thke the “wait and see” approach.

    KNAPP calls shatty games, he may get prempted by AS.

  35. JLofty Says:

    JFB, Huge called the offensive plays all last two years. Hardly “do nothing.”

  36. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Hue Jackson’s “explosive” offense last year was #16 in points scored, and that was with one of the greatest seasons a kicker ever produced.

    Otherwise he would have been in the 20’s.

    Hue Jackson produced an explosive offense last year. I seriously doubt this years offense will be as explosive.
    ===========================================

    Since when have field goals become “explosive”?

  38. TxRaider210 Says:

    Hue’s offense was explosive, for a half normally. If Knapp can keep the scoring coming, no reason they can’t rack up points.imo

  39. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Gregg Knapp’s offense was 16th or better in scoring 5 of his 9 season as OC.

    It says here we will score more points than last year.

  40. Just Fire Baby Says:

    JFB, Huge called the offensive plays all last two years. Hardly “do nothing.”

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

    The point was defensively.

    Last year, he did nothing defensively, and than whined after the season ended, that he wanted to do more.

    Al was dead for 75% of the year, he could have done something.

  41. TxRaider210 Says:

    I’m out gents, holla at ya’ll later.

  42. Thec Says:

    Hue Jackson produced an explosive offense last year.

    ++++++++

    No doubt, funny I was looking at some of the trick plays we ran with Hue this morning. Fske field goal,double reverse to DMO etc….

    def going to be a diff O. Will hope for the best with regards to KNAPP.

  43. JLofty Says:

    I’d say right now, sight unseen, HAD to choose one to save my life, I’d pick Al Saunders to call my plays.
    Hope Knapp proves my self wrong. Bad wrong.

    On another note, anyone recall who was the 9Ball TE back in the Garcia/Mariucci/Knapp era?

  44. Raiderbuck Says:

    Knapp has some proving to do in the Play calling department. I’m not impressed so far. (I know, one game, but this isn’t his first rodeo.)

  45. Seymour Bush Says:

    TxRaider210 Says:
    August 16th, 2012 at 1:36 pm

    Hue’s offense was explosive, for a half normally.
    ==========================================

    Good point. Didn’t Jackson’s “explosive” offense score something like 6 points total in the second half of like 5 straight games last season?

  46. JLofty Says:

    Fair enough point JFB. I had my issues with Huge. Even with his play calling…

  47. Thec Says:

    Just Fire Baby Says:

    totally disagree. Hue with ALL the weopons would have been top 5.

  48. JLofty Says:

    Yes Seymour that was a big point of contention I had with Huge and his O.

    ———

    We also should consider that he was limited by his QB in the first half of the year and lost his star RB for 2nd half. Hue had a good O and it would have been interesting to see with all the weapons. The fact he made something out of Campbell was impressive.

    Best thing McKenzie did was keep him on staff.

    ===============================
    No he doesn’t.Our 1st team looked pretty damn good against a good Dallas defense last game.When the back-ups came in we went pretty basic so they could be evaluated which is what practice games are for.Some of you fail to realize this.

  84. lefty12 Says:

    BTW,Chucky wasn’t a very good play caller for us.Cost us the ‘tuck’ game with his conservative calling.It took Callahan and Trestman to bring out the best in that offense.

    ==================================

    You might be a tiny bit disappointed. They are going to run a ball control, run oriented, efficient style of offense. They are going to be one of the few teams left that are going to really commit to the run game not just try to light it up.

  88. lefty12 Says:

    some games we will lite it up because teams are going to stack the box to stop DMAC.

    The schmatic and attack will be predicated on a game by game basis based on what the D gives you.

    I would guess Lienert plays less. I think it comes down to how much confidence they have in Matt. If they think he’s ready to go, then I say they give Pryor a butt-load of time. Lienert looked better than I expected actually. Plus, Pryor needs those live reps.

    79,

    Agree with all of that. Leinart did look better than I thought, although I don’t think much of him, so anything other than him peeing down his leg was a suprise to me.

    Pryor needs the reps, but so does everyone else on offense. If he is just going to bail on the play and the pocket and take off running, that only helps Pryor and nobody else.

  131. Sullivan44 Says:

    The screen play and the spread offense killed Al’s defensive philosophy. Of course that wouldn’t happen till later, in the late ’80s. But the vertical game was shut down in the ’70s. That’s why Madden went with the Snake over LaMonica.

    Really? So how many playoff wins did Al get us since the Super Bowl v Tampa? How many playoff appearances? How many winning seasons? Zero.

    Meanwhile, Al broke the all-time record for most number of consecutive seasons with at least 11 losses. Our beloved Raiders became the joke of the NFL. One member of the NFL Network highlight crew would say “The Raiders” and the rest of them would bust up laughing.

    Yea, I wish I could predict the future. Who knows how the Raiders will play, new owner, GM and everything else. I prefer to stay optimistic and not read in too much from Monday’s game.

    That was an all time highlight moment for the Raiders!! I remember that play like it happened last week. I got to see Bo play at a few Auburn games when I was in alabama in the A.F Barkley on the hoops floor too Just sayin.

    I’ve only been a fan since 1990 and although I’m grateful for what Al Davis has done for this organization and the NFL, the past 7-8 years have been difficult to watch. With that said, I’m going to the grave a Raider.

    Where did you play?

  220. jesusraiderjim Says:

    No one disregarded anything. You said”slow and weak…= reggie mck and da’s team” Not one thing about superbowls LOSER. You are just trolling to try and piss people off and it aint workin. Go get your tickets for the Dungver game so you can watch martian head!!

  221. Just Fire Baby Says:

    The first team defense pushed around the Cowboys, hurting guys, sacking the QB, and holding them scoreless.

    Yet, everyone wants to talk about the stalls of the offense.

    This team will score points, and even if they score a few less points a game than last year, if the D can grow from Monday’s game, we will be just fine and in the race for the division again.

    The D is/was the issue, and they looked great.

  359. JB Says:

    Anyone notice how good the Bengals are at tackling. They are like a machine. Something for our D to emulate.

  360. Seymour Bush Says:

    Here, I will start: The AZ defensive line is pretty good. It will be a nice matchup for our starting and backup Olinemen.

    I did notice that. Our tackling in the lst preseason game was much improved. ATL’s tackling in this game has been atrocious.

  364. realtruraider Says:

    Bartell matched up on Fitz, Fitz has gave Bartell props in the past for being on of the better corners he has went up against, should be a good matchup

  367. JB Says:

    I think the one thing that really needs scrutiny: should Carlisle really be the starting OLG? I say he’s over the hill, especially on pass blocking. I’d rather see Barksdale or Bergstrom getting those reps. Barksdale, IMO, is far too slow for a pass blocking tackle. His build is better for a bulldozing type guard.

  368. Marks hair Says:

    Cinci’s 3rd qb is way Better than tp..

    How about a thing to watch for is if we can actually return a punt 10 yards forward, and master the “art” of fair catching a punt instead of letting it roll into a 55 yard net punt.

    385,
    That was what I was referring to. Didn’t realize that was Bartell. Then what was everyone on DVD for? The PI call? The 3rd quarter drive that resulted in pts?

  416. blackandsilverside Says:

    I have a bad feeling that we’ve started up where we left off last season. Hopefully we won’t get picked apart and embarrassed.

    Look for CP to throw a bone-headed INT. Look for Criner and Streater to have more playing time while the force-fed pretender fades away – DHB.

    At least our cornerbacks will be running with the receivers and put their hand up to knock the ball away.

    And lastly, we won’t have horrible holes for runners to make outlandish gains.

    Wish us luck!

  425. PlunkforHOF Says:

    My beloved Raiders 20
    Phoenix horned Toads 6

  426. DJ Johnny Says:

    That’s an interesting question if I do say so.

    How many here actually care if we get a “W” or not?

    Or…would you be happy just seeing the 1st team and Pryor do well..but aren’t concerned about the final score per se?

  427. blackandsilverside Says:

    DJ Johnny,

    I don’t care who wins the game. But to put together several first string scoring drives would be nice.

    Also, to shut down AZ’s offense in a manner we don’t get torched and ripped would be good too.

  428. blackandsilverside Says:

    To see Pryor not emeshed in total chaos would be a good thing too.

  429. DJ Johnny Says:

    Sounds like you’re a believer in the D (at this point).

    I wanna see Palmer throw to different receivers and Goodson run well…and the D shut those bastardz down.

    That too much?

  430. Kirk Says:

    Raiders defensive tackle Tommy Kelly had this to say about the defense’s performance against Dallas on Monday: “It’s the first time in nine years we ever looked that good tackling in the first game of the preseason, so whatever they’re doing must be working.”

  431. blackandsilverside Says:

    I am a big believer in maintaining a great defense. The fact that McFatAzz lacerated Witten’s spleen is a good sign that maybe the Raiders of old are returning.

    McClain also elevated himself several notches.

  432. blackandsilverside Says:

    I agree that several productive and flowing offensive drives would go a long way in establishing credibility.

  433. DJ Johnny Says:

    Not sure why I just referred to the Arizona Cardinals as “bastardz”, but since they are playing the Raiders it somehow seemed fitting.

    Even if it is only preseason.

  434. DJ Johnny Says:

    Blackside,

    “Several” might be asking for too much.

  435. DJ Johnny Says:

    That blast on Witten from ‘McGunman’ is getting the Raiders alot of good press.

    Since it was against the Cowboys and their most clutch receiver, it’s been getting tons of play on the networks.

  436. Twinkle Says:

    Hey Nation
    What I would like to see is NO Injuries first and foremost….got a lot of good feelings about this year.

    one of the fastest teams I’ve seen…big..athletic …just have to get lucky with the injuries

  437. blackandsilverside Says:

    Press and the Cowboys claim Witten will be back soon, but don’t count on that for 6 to 8 weeks.

    How the hell do you cut a spleen without a knife?Musta been a helluva lick.Don’t even have a clue as to what a spleen does or where it lives.

  439. DJ Johnny Says:

    It’s one thing to body slam Danny Amendola, or toss Darren Sproles around, but to slobber knock a big due like Witten and almost rupture his spleen?

    Impressive!

  440. DJ Johnny Says:

    Twinkle,

    Ha. I can’t say I know where the spleen lives either.

    I’ll have to look it up.

  441. blackandsilverside Says:

    If you hit an organ hard enough it ruptures, like a plastic bag. In Witten’s case the blow did cause a rupture, same as a crack. If you drop a plum on concrete normally it will crack on the side that absorbed the blow, same as Witten’s spleen.

    After Chris Simms had his spleen ruptured, and surgically removed, it essentially ended his career. He was only half the man he used to be after that.

    Hopefully, Witten will fully recover.

  442. blackandsilverside Says:

    Spleen is on one’s right side below the liver.

  443. Twinkle Says:

    Thanks for the info….sounds more than 8 or 10 weeks worth.Never like to see someones career ended…..well almost never.

    NFL meets with Oakland officials about Raiders stadium

    Aug
    17
    8/17/2012 7:34:30 AM

    One week after Major League Baseball officials came to town to discuss stadium options for the A’s, NFL executives arrived to hear Oakland’s pitch for a new Raiders stadium according to Matthew Artz of the Oakland Tribune.

    NFL officials requested the secret Aug. 9 meeting, whose participants included Raiders owner Mark Davis, team president Amy Trask, Mayor Jean Quan, City Council president Larry Reid and Alameda County Administrator Susan Muranishi.

    The Raiders have been the lone tenant at the Coliseum complex to not dismiss the city’s proposal that the teams build new facilities there along with hotels, restaurants and shops.

    The Warriors spurned Oakland’s overtures and instead announced plans to build an arena in San Francisco, and the A’s still want to move to San Jose.

    Raiders and NFL officials refused to say much about last week’s meeting, during which the team laid out its vision for a transformed Coliseum complex.

    “It was an important meeting because it is at a stage where the Raiders must develop a (stadium) option,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an email.

    It remains unclear whether the league would help pay for a new football stadium in Oakland after it already pledged $200 million to the 49ers planned $1.1 billion stadium in Santa Clara. The league had encouraged both New York teams to work together on their new stadium, for which it contributed $300 million.

    The Raiders have said they prefer to stay in Oakland, but want a replacement for the 46-year-old O.co Coliseum they share with the A’s. The planned 49ers stadium in Santa Clara remains an option for the team, as does a return to Los Angeles, where private investors have proposed a downtown football stadium.

    I’m looking forward to seeing less of Terrelle Pryor as others. I feel sorry for second unit positional players who are fighting to make the club and have to execute their assignments around incompetent QB play. Makes them look bad by association.

  557. Bob Marley Says:

    Final score and pre-season records are meaningless, everyone knows it, once the backups start entering the game it’s all about evaluating their individual performance within the team framework, if you have a shot to win you go for it, but coaches mainly want to get tape on those guys before cut day arrives.

    But it is important to see how the first units play in terms of execution, Offense needs to move the ball and hopefully score some points and Defense needs to do the opposite, stop the other team and/or keep them out of the end zone.

    We’re not opening up the playbook for a pre-season game, so we have to look decent by performing basic football stuff, you know the things every contender needs to start with; blocking, throwing, catching and running on Offense, tackling and covering on Defense.

    Basically, it’s one on one football, beat your man and make a play, we can expect to see some new wrinkles being incorportaed, but not the fancy stuff, that’s gonna be saved for actual game-plans designed to attack your opponents weakness.

    But just like MNF, we’ll probably freak out if we look bad and go overboard if we look great.

    Problem with that theory is that football is a TEAM sport. One on one football is no way to evaluate players. If you have a player who is clearly underperforming like a Terrelle Pryor, in a position of importance, he affects the play of others trying to make the squad.

    Coaches will run vanilla schemes and playcalls. That’s fine with me. But they need to be field reasonable team units out there who run the same things in practice and execute as a team. If there is a weak link, it makes the entire unit look bad. Where is the individual evaluation in that?

  583. Bob Marley Says:

    A good piece on Richard Gordon from Levi Damien:

    “Richard Gordon is not content just being a blocker anymore.

    When the Raiders drafted tight end Richard Gordon out of Miami last season, it was a bit of a surprise. Even as a sixth round pick, it was a head scratcher. He had just ten catches from the tight end spot his entire four year college career so what did the Raiders see in this guy that made them think he was worth a draft pick? The answer: blocking.

    And it takes a seriously good blocker to have a team drafting a player based on that skill alone. Well, unless that player is an offensive lineman. The tight end is the next best thing to an offensive lineman but if he can’t catch, there is no point.

    The small sample size for Gordon at tight end was due to his switching positions several times in college.

    “I went from D end to D tackle.” Said Gordon. “Going into my sophomore/junior year I went back to tight end, then went back to defense, then went back to tight end. So I’ve been switching around in Miami, played kickoff return, I played everything.”

    “I went to Miami as a defensive end. The only reason I ended up at tight end is because the tight ends went down and I [said] ‘coach, I can play it, coach, I can play it.’ The biggest thing was the aggressiveness and I didn’t get that many balls but when the ball did come my way, I made my best to catch the ball but I put the best out there in blocking and that’s how I got here. And since I got here, I’ve been trying to step my game up.”

    The Raiders took a real flier on him because of how great a blocker he was. They hope he could develop the receiving part of his game and become a more complete tight end. Last season, he ended up in the same situation as he had at Miami. This time it was the fullback position which needed a fill in. The result was one catch for Gordon the entire season. Now he’s no longer going to be content with just paving the way for others.

    “I came in as a blocker. In training camp last year, I showed a couple catches and everything. I had a big game against Seattle in the preseason so I think I forced to coaches to see that I could receive the ball rather than in Miami I was just ‘alright coach, I just wanna block coach, I’ll just block all day’ and didn’t really care about catching the ball but now I think trying to get to the next level in my game and trying to catch the ball.”

    “Always been developing. I work with the receivers. I worked with Antonio Brown from the Pittsburgh Steelers, I work with Chad Johnson, everybody down in Miami, I work out with Andre Johnson. So I take things from them and then when I’m here I see [Darrius] Heyward-Bey, I look at his when he runs through the ball… just taking skills from everybody and trying to put it together.”

    That hard work has been showing dividends in training camp. The lumbering tight end has developed into a surprisingly good receiver. He still has the occasional concentration drop but no more than any other receiver on this team and sometimes less than many of them.

    The staff showed their faith in him by naming him the second team tight end coming into camp and despite his being out the first week with an injury, he retained his spot at the primary backup once he returned.

    “I was in a rush to get back. You can’t stay out too long. In this game you stay out too long, somebody’s gonna step up, somebody’s gotta step up, the team gotta keep moving.”

    The next move for this team comes Monday night when they face the Cowboys in their preseason opener. Brandon Myers was slated to start but he went down in practice Friday with a shoulder injury and hasn’t practiced since. So unless David Ausberry leapfrogs him, Gordon is in line to be the starter.

    Whether Gordon is technically the starter or not, he will see the field a lot. His blocking skills are invaluable to the team on offense and special teams. But now he can be a receiving threat as well. Monday night will be his first big test to see how far he has come as a receiver. And if what we have seen in training camp is any indication, he is could be ready.”

  584. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Seems like the staff wants Meyers to be the “starting” TE (maybe in name only) with Gordon getting plenty of reps due to his blocking and improved pass-catching.

    Ausberry seems like he is just left with the crumbs.

  585. Marks hair Says:

    Ford couldnt catch that ball… the safety had a choice, easy int or knockout hit on ford.. if you dont look off the safety, thats an int every time.. im looking for cp3 to recognize what a vet should see.

    Here’s what I said about back-ups:

    “once the backups start entering the game it’s all about evaluating their individual performance within the team framework”.

    * Now you say Pryor is underperforming, well his OL certainly underperformed, wouldn’t you say?…. does that not hinder TP’s performance?.

    Besides, WR’s still run their routes and get open or not, OL still block or not and RB’s do whatever they’re asked to do or not.

    You can evaluate those guys in their assignments regardless of QB play.

  590. guest123 Says:

    Nice article on Gordon. Love his blocking skills. Definitely an upgrade over Myers, and he doesn’t have much more ground to gain to be as good a receiving TE as Myers either. Hearing that Ausberry is stuck at TE#3 makes me pessimistic he will ever emerge as a 25yo psuedo-rookie who has never played a full season of plays at TE in his life. At least Gordon is seasoned a bit from his college days at TE. I’m pulling for Gordon to grab the job in the middle of this void at TE.

    You can evaluate those guys in their assignments regardless of QB play.”

    Sure you can evaluate the route running skills and blocking grades to some extent, but how can you evaluate the receivers catching ability if the ball is thrown in the dirt? It does leave an important grade out of the scorecard, would you agree/disagree? thoughts?

    I’m guessing those kids playing with TP like Brandon Carswell and Thomas Mayo have shown their hands in practice by now, that’s the easy part to evaluate, grasping the nuances of the position is much harder and they can show that by executing their assignment despite not seeing the ball, but obviously you would like to see them catch a couple of balls in these games.

    But I’d rather give TP the work, those kids are longshots and maybe practice squad bound, TP’s future is way more important.

  605. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Not sure which game it was, but I remember Myers making an impressive diving catch over the middle last season.

    Other than his overall lack of swivel in the open-field, I can’t see a whole lot of faults in his game.

    Is he elite? Of course not. But he is adequate to above average in blocking and catching, seems like a good dude, plays ST, and up until now has been pretty healthy and dependable.

    Gannon is a proven moron, so not many care what he says. Ford had a chance on the ball when the safety fell for the int, he catches it, he rolls over Sensabaugh for a TD. How do you explain Ford’s other two drops?

    Myers doesn’t just lack swivel, he’s pretty much a slug who finds the open spaces, has good hands to catch the ball, and then looks to fall down in soft patch of grass. He has no Yacability to speak of and his vertical leap is 6 inches. He’s, say average catching, below avg blocking and above average on special teams. Up till now he’s been healthy and dependable for the most part, but that rep may change soon.

    @ Marley,

    Fundamentally we reach an impasse, I don’t value a thrid round pick as much as you do. 3rd rounders are cut all the time, not very uncommon. And late rounders and UDFA’s should get the chance to prove themselves. Pryor should be given more leeway, but at some point the slack on his rope has to be choked. For his good and for the good of the team.

    609. Fords drops are his fault. Ford not playing db and swatting away that bomb was his fault. Cp3 not seeing or not doing anything abot a safety thats been watching the qb the whole play is cp3s fault.. its called a pump fake and gannon didnt invent it..

    ——————
    That’s cool man, we can agree to disagree. CP probably would have looked the FS off in a normal game, I’ll fault him for that. Fair to say a slight lack of effort on both parties on that play..

  618. hwnrdr Says:

    Well CP3 did take full responsibility on that one! Maybe that is why Ford didn’t…but he should man up too! Palmer is the best QB on the roster right now. He’s an interception machine? Ok…but so was Favre! If CP3 continues on this path, then rip him. That was the first preseason game! That is when you try those as well, like DA said. I will give him some time for redemption!

  621. Bob Marley Says:

    The only thing Brandon Myers has on Richard Gordon is experience, he comes from Iowa where Kirk Ferentz runs a pro-style scheme and has long been lauded as a great teacher, their OL and TE’s are all over the NFL, they’re not Pro-Bowl types but come to the League fundamentally sound and ready, I think they have sent 7 TE’s to the pro’s over the last decade or so, most of them the overachieving, blocking type.

    You’re right man. I think in a real game, CP pump fakes and Ford makes the extra effort to play the ball.imo

    Lets agree that both CP and Ford were slackin’ a bit that play, I’ll chalk it up to pre-season, but sure would like improvement tonight.

  629. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I think Myers, with his lack of swivel and 6in vertical, is still more athletic and faster than Gordon.

    But they are very similar in that regards, so it is probably splitting hairs.

    At least both are MASSIVE upgrades to Zack Miller in the blocking area.

    I used to get a kick out of watching Miller get blown up by a DB for a sack, and then watch the blog comments rail on our O-line and need to draft “all lineman next year”.

  630. Thec Says:

    Expect to see a huge uptick in improvement in ALL phases of the game. the pitchers dual we saw was an anomaly.

    I would even be okay with a TE rotation short of hand tipping.

    1. Put the Wizard in when you want to throw to a TE.

    I think Myers provides the least “hand-tipping” of the bunch.

    I guess that is one benefit of not excelling at anything, lol.

    Saw a lot of good in that game regardless of the pitch count. Looking for the team to build on the good.

  639. DJ Johnny Says:

    First game?…fine. But if we don’t score any pts. tonight it will be cause for concern.

    Not about the players i’ll bet but about Knapp.

    This offense has the tools to score alot of pts. and my fear is that Knapp’s play calling will hinder it.

    That’s my overreactionary throw it out there for the heck of it post.

    Tonight,

    I’m looking for some momentum on all phases of the ball. For teammates to look at each other like the karate kid when he finally understands what “sand-de-floor” means. Then take that confidence and swagger into game #3 and kill it back in Oakland.

  641. Bob Marley Says:

    JFB.

    You made me look.

    Myers is 6′4 250 and ran a 4.74 in his pro day.

    Gordon is 6′4 265 and ran a 4.66 in his pro day.

    Gordon is bigger and faster, but neither is to be confused with Jimmy Graham out there.

  644. Bob Marley Says:

    I wonder if DA and Jason Tarver believe in shadowing the opponents best WR, obviously Ron Bartell would be the man to do it.

    No need to do that every game since many teams have multiple WR’s who can beat you, Denver has Thomas and Decker, San Diego has a bunch of guys trying to be # 1 but it could be usefil against a team like KC where Bowe remains their best WR, unless Baldwin steps up.

    Hopefuly Bartell remains healthy enough to give us that option if needed.

  645. guest123 Says:

    I guess I don’t understand the love for a 3rd round pick. You’d think Pryor was drafted #1 overall. He’s not that big an investment. There may be some sentimentality over being Al Davis’s last draft pick. Or maybe there’s an Ohio St bias. Maybe there’s a reluctance to give up on such a high pick in the supplemental, nervousness over how that will look. Probably there’s other reasons I’m not seeing…

    But when you analyze it, anyway you slice it and dice it, Pryor is nothing more than a mid 3rd rounder. If we cut him, it’d make more headlines than other third rounders. But it wouldn’t be any greater failure. Just don’t see how 99% of this blog cannot even entertain him being cut outright as a posssibility. SMH

    ********

    Bartell is probably the premier CB on the roster, if we have one. But even though Dez Bryant made a great catch over Bartell, it still doesn’t project Bartell as being a shutdown corner. Bartell looks like he still has some work to do to get back into his groove.

  648. Bob Marley Says:

    Guest.

    Why would you cut him now?.

    He’s entering his 2nd season, he’s among the NFL’s most athletic players, he’s cheap and you have seen 20 minutes of football from him.

    Even if he never becomes a QB, you can still use him as a Brad Smith type utility QB/WR/RB.

  649. guest123 Says:

    Marley,

    I wouldn’t cut him. I’d convert him to playing TE. Certainly we could use a physical freak like Pryor at TE, and yes then we would start to be talking about a possible “Jimmy Graham” wink wink…

    Way to much upside to cut him. But the question to be asked is, will Pryor concede his QB duties if asked, given pending release as the alternative?

    ==================

    Maybe it’s a little “Tebow-eske”. I mean Tim did win 2 National titles didn’t he? I think….. Pryor had good success at Ohio State. A guy that BIG and atheletic has so many intangibles, combine that with work ethic and accountability “I played like Dog Crap”….

    I think folks imagine what he COULD be if he could only throw the ball where it needs to be and arrive on time. That kind of fantasy can make people REALLY reluctant to pull the plug, even if it makes all the sense in the world (Business wise) to do so.

    I dunno man, maybe I’m just full of Sh*t too….

    HILARIOUS!!!!!!! Palmer is going to be forced to play longer by D.A!!!! I told you he has a lot to prove, and is on a one year try out. If Big Mck and the boys were even half as high on this guy as this board and mcdonald were this would not happen in the second game of the preseason. Lets hope he can pull his head out and avoid those egregious turn overs that send your head coach spinning excuses.

    I can understand why they need to get carson more reps, however i see no point in playing lienart at all. lienart already knows this offense inside and out, so he really doesnt need the game looks. The raiders are not considering him for he future starter, so he isnt being evaluated in that respect. Why not give pryor those snaps and leave lienart out of this preseason game all together? pryor needs more game action than all other qbs on the roster, it makes sense to give him the extra snaps.

    Coach Allen: Probably significant more work than we got in the past game. A lot of it depends on how the game plays out. We got a lot of snaps early in the game on offense. They had a couple of penalties that helped us out. Defensively we played from a time frame a little bit longer than we had anticipated last week, but from a play count standpoint we didn’t play that much

    Q: Is that how you had it planned from the beginning of the preseason? In the second game you’d get more?

    Of course D.A is playing all starters, but only palmer and fords performance last week stood out as poor play.

    There is no debate about palmer being the starter, but clearly he is auditioning for a spot beyond this year. D.A & big mck are committed to palmer for this year, but he will have to earn anything beyond that.

    new front office regimes always want their own head coach and their own qb. They would not play palmer a 10 year vet for significant time if they didnt think he needed the work, he would be considered too valuable to risk. If he plays well they may shorten his load tonight, if he doesnt it will be a big red flag and a bit embarrassing.

    Palmer must be the starter he is better than lienart, and pryor isnt nearly ready to start an nfl game, but nothing is promised for 2013, when i think we will be drafting a new qb.

    Palmer will have to play his way out from under the stop gap label.I Guarantee if he turns in a season like he did last year he will not be starting next year in silver and black.

    Dmac must prove that he can stay healthy, and improve his game. believe me people tom brady , rodgers, brees, and others will not be risked for many snaps in the 2nd preseason game. usually its the 3rd game of preseason where starters play the first half or more. this only happens when the coaches are not pleased with what they have seen in camp and in game.

    preseaon snaps would not be a waste for pryor, as he needs all of the live game action he could possibly be afforded. not only will he gain experience, but the staff and big mck can evaluate his progress and potential.

    Bringing in a vet in case of injury to the top 2 qb would have no bearing on this, as a guy off the street in mid season, would not impact pryors snap count in the preseason, obviuosly

    Palmer throws one pick in preseason some of our fan base is ready to crucify him….meanwhile in Denver Manning throws an interception in his first preseason game and no one cares.

    Maybe this is why our fan base gets such a bad rap nationally?
    =================

    Please dont lump me in with that group. My take isnt based on “one pick in the pre season”, but rather all of the picks he has thrown in a raider uniform (17 in 10 starts counting monday), and many that he has thrown through his nfl career.

    Im only being objective

    Just a few in that boat. If you go to the games, you’ll see that the majority are behind Palmer and even excited about having him.

  697. Silverandblack666 Says:

    Cam Newton had 4,051 yards with 21 TD’s with 17 Int’s and you thought he set the world on fire!

    That’s almost as many TD’s as INT’s and you want to hold Palmer to a higher standard that that?

  698. guest123 Says:

    The Giants also had one of the weakest running games so I don’t see or want Palmer to be throwing for 4900 yards. I’ll take the 29 TD’s and 16 Int’s however.

    Mystic1

    You know I enjoyed debating with you all last year and you were right about Cam Newton and I was wrong.

    So whats it going to take to get you on the Palmer bandwagon?

    3,500 yards 30 TDs and 15 Int’s would that do it for you.

    Or if he has crappy stats but we win every game would that be acceptable for you?
    =========================

    actually as i have said from the day he got here, i dont care about yardge totals, or high td counts. PALMER MUST CUT THE TURNOVERS. If palmer can magically morph into a game manager and avoid the bone headed picks i will consider him much improved and give him his due. he must prove that he can do it though, and he has yet to do that in a raider uniform

    Cam newton also rushed for over 700 yards and 14 touchdowns. Cam newton set ALL TIME QB RECORDS IN A LEAUGE THAT IS 92 YEARS OLD!!!

    Oh and he did all of this as a rookie with no training camp and a truncated pre season!!!

    i pray to the most high that we can one day have a qb like Cam or RGIII, these guys are redefining the qb position and the game of football itself.

    Carson palmer isnt even in the same universe with those 2.

  728. The Big Banana Says:

    I don’t see Pryor being ready next year.

  729. blackandsilverside Says:

    Carson Palmer, last year, was as good as he will ever be. I am not understanding why posters can’t understand that. Palmer has never played at a higher level which put his team deep into the playoffs or the Superbowl. He lacks mobility and evasiveness in the pocket; his passing skills are offset with bone-headed interceptions.

    He may function as a good, servicable QB but that is not greatness.

    Previously, I fought and fought and fought with Jason Campbell worshippers who claimed JC was the 2nd coming, 1st string J. Plunkett, K. Stabler, R. Gannon starter for the Raiders. That didn’t work out well for the worshippers at all after JC signed as backup to Jay Cutler a single day into free agency.

    With CP, what he was last season, he’ll be this season: no more, no less. If this team is to advance an improved defense will be the cause.

    You mean braking 92 year old records as a rookie isnt a big deal?!?!

    cam took over a 2-14 team and raised them up to 6 wins.

    Palmer took over a team that was playoff ready (arguably ) and quickly threw 16 picks and led us straight out of the play off race.

    Cam was rookie

    Palmer is a long time veteran.

    ==============

    The guys you mentioned were very athletic but they are nothing like RGIII or CAM OR EAGLE 7. They dont have 4.4 speed along with the rocket arm. This added dimension of speed allows for anew kind of offense in the nfl, with spread option offense wreaking havoc. Cam put up amazing numbers with this hybrid spread offense, and look for shanarat to implemnent elements form baylors offense into his version of the jske plummer/ elway wco. They even lined up in a pistol on one play last week.

    No the new wave is redefining how football is played

  750. guest123 Says:

    And I’m advocating LESS snaps for Pryor. Here’s why:

    It’s not just a spotlight on the Terrell Pryor show. His play affects the development and grading/evaluation of the 10 other guys who play with him. Look at the young guys Carswell, Carrier and Mayo. All of them know they are on the roster bubble. All of them know they have to put up some stats in these preseason games to have a chance to stick to the roster. Practice catches don’t count. How can they EARN a shot at a roster spot and hope to fulfill their NFL dream with a project QB throwing them darts in the dirt? It’s not Pryor and 10 stiffs who aren’t going to make the team. Give them all a fair chance to make the team. If Pryor costs someone else their roster spot, it would be a shame.

    Great point there Hwnrdr and the one thing that I found interesting was after the trade happened last year I was on PFT site reading what the bloggers had to say about Palmer coming to Oakland…..all the Steeler and Ravens fans were excited to get that guy out of their division because he was good at beating them.

    Thanks TxRaider210

    I know some are going to see me as a Palmer sycophant but I am really excited about this season and having a good QB is a big part of that excitement!

    ———————–
    Yep me too, he is a very good QB and the Nation should have no reason not to think he will do much better than last year.

    “Carson Palmer, last year, was as good as he will ever be. I am not understanding why posters can’t understand that. Palmer has never played at a higher level which put his team deep into the playoffs or the Superbowl”

    Your smoking meth pal.

    Palmer has been a top 5 QB in this league before his injury and defiantly has the potential to do it again.

    2005 3,836 yards 32 TD 12 INT
    2006 4,035 yards 28 TD 13 INT

    Those stats are better than Eli Manning’s last year who won the Super Bowl.

    So please again explain to me how there is a history of him having more picks than the norm when these numbers line up with the best in the league.
    ================

    it hink this is evidence that supports my case that aplmer is an ordianry player that had a couple of break out years, but he may have shot his wad during that time.

    Plenty of qb have a great season or two only to slip back into mediocrity. Culpeepper, brooks, kerry collins and so on

  775. blackandsilverside Says:

    Silverandblack666,

    Your CP TD/INT stats for 2005 and 06 were correct. However in 2007 CP had 26 TDs and 20 INTs; 2008 3 TDs and 4 INTs; 2009 21/13; 2010 26/20; 2011 13/16.

    The presumption that can be drawn is that the older CP gets the more INTs against TDs he will thrown, like many aging QBs.

    If you had read my post carefully, I said CP is a good and serviceable QB, but not great. Certainly he is worlds above J. Campbell.

    At this point, with the totality of the circumstances considered, we couldn’t ask for a better QB than CP; hopefully he’ll have a good season.

    However, no matter what any worshipper claims, the defense will take us deep into the playoffs and not CP.

    Btw, I don’t do drugs of any kind.

    Many of the CP “worshippers” are still predicting that he goes 26 TD 13-16 INT this season. That said, those numbers could do the job, along with sound defense.

    HILARIOUS!!!!!!! Palmer is going to be forced to play longer by D.A!!!!
    ================================================
    I find it hilarious that you don’t know that it’s typical for an established starting QB to play longer in the 2nd preseason game than he did in the first.

    Typical for the starter to play a series or two in game 1. Usually will go the entire first qtr and possibly into the 2nd qtr, in game 2. Probably will play the entire 1st half, game 3.

    We’ll see how long CP goes, but more time in game 2 is nothing unusual.

    I’m with you 100% on not wasting time and snaps on Matt Lice.

    Raids should give TP as many snaps as possible. A determination has to be made if he has a future at QB, and now is the best time to do it.

    I too, am also extremely concerned about Palmer’s interceptions. He’s got to limit them. If he doesn’t, he’s going to derail and demoralize the entire offense and cost the Raids whatever chance they have at winning the division.

    TIM has got to get his act together.

    All things being equal there is about as much of a hit rate on late round and UDFA WR’s making an impact as third round QB’s. So if we are weighing priorites, I think one is no greater priority than the other. If say Pryor was a first round selection, I’d agree with you. But the player pool in this case is on equal footing.

    I’d argue that Carswell, Carrier or Mayo can and will have a more significant impact than a 3rd string QB who will never sniff the field, while they are actively part of the gunner team.

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

    First, I think where TP was drafted is relevant. Would you invest as much time and resources to a multi-million dollar bonus baby at the top of round one than a 3rd round supplemental QB? Honestly.

    Now consider the league is littered with 2nd and 3rd round QB’s who never get the shot to be anything more than a backup journeyman. Face it, the league is geared toward the development of elite QB’s who can carry franchises. 3rd round QB’s have enough warts on them that most don’t get the full brunt of management’s investment of their coaching staff and valuable playing time. A year or two passes and most of these mid round QB’s are forgotten about. “He still in the league? forgot him..”

    Brutal reality is the NFL is a not-for-long league and results are expected almost immediately for marquee positions such as QB, and only a short learning curve is expected for stardom, or they are quickly disposed of as mid-level journeymen. It’s brutal and it’s going to be tough for Pryor to resolve that reality, but he can’t escape it.

    1.) deontay wilder: Incredible power in both hands, lighting quick and very very athletic. stays in excellent shape and a has the story of overcoming personal tragedy and adversity that will sell. his daughter was born with spina bifida and he fights for her. he is 24-0 with all knock outs no one has made it past the 4th round. he is 6″7 in perfect shape and only 26. he won the bronze in bejihng

    2.) seth mitchell, incredible power, and huge heart. devastating body puncher, and a very hard worker very athletic

    3.) bryant jennings, good skill solid chin. I rank him lowest because he seems to lack that big power most heavyweights need.

    DAV,can we afford to carry another WR with health questions?

  848. guest123 Says:

    This day and age of NFL you have the haves and the have nots. Matt Cassel is a perfectly decent QB, for instance. But since he had that great season stepping for Tom Brady, he’s been mediocre. Now he’s considered a journeyman middle of the pack QB. You don’t think KC wouldn’t love to upgrade him? And he’s actually not a bad QB, certainly better than Leiart.

    The point is you either have a star QB or are desperately seeking to trade or draft one. If you aren’t quickly recognized as being the next star, your time to develop with the ones and even twos evaporates rather quickly.

    99- and you too aren’t getting the point.The team is more important than a 3rd string QB.Our back-up may know the system but he is with new players.Getting game reps with those players is more important than giving reps to your 3rd QB.I’m pretty sure the staff can tell if Pryor has a future at QB by what they see in practices and workouts.
    =================

    i doubt it. Allen said games are more important than practice and that is where you truly assess a players ability.

    Besides dont forget, allen was with tebow in denver last year. he saw first hand that a qb can llok horrible in practice then win on sunday. Dont think for one second he doesnt compare tebow and pryor, otherwise they may have pulled the plug on pryor a long time ago ,and brought in a jim sorgi type.

    Trust me the tebow experience is not lost on allen

    I think the key terms here are “INTENTION TO INCITE”. Whether it be directed at one or multiple posters.

    Some on here are vehemently opposed to guys playing characters or joking around…I say just try to let it slide off your shoulders and if you don’t like a certain poster, or guys who are obviously joking around then just bypass ‘em.

    I once touched a girl who touched a guy that touched Mick Jaggers big toe….I know that is not as cool as having a rich relative but its my claim to fame!

    Man, some of you need to lighten up a tad.

    It was a JOKE, 15 words. Mistic prefers black QB’s, or at least that’s what he talks about mostly. So what?

    It’s funny that a simple light-hearted poke, will get you (and others) to start going off on white and black race issues, this blog compared to society, and big old long posts about nothing, to make you feel better.

    Glad I can help.

    Kell,

    You’d think these guys would have died with Al Davis. Just what is their objective now? lol. The “Al haters” won the war. It’s over. Mark Davis is in charge, and he couldn’t run the team more opposite of his dad if he changed his name to DeBartolo.

  924. Sullivan44 Says:

    Mark Debartolo.

    I like the ring to it. That’s what I’m going to call Mark Davis for now on.

  925. Sullivan44 Says:

    JFB, as if you weren’t hoping for that sort of reaction.

    I am more looking forward to the reaction of when Carson Palmer plays great football this year, but it will do for now.

    Is your wife proud of you, Michael Kelly?
    How about her family? She works. You sit home, all day, every day.
    Dealing with the I told you so’s, from her family.
    Sad excuse for a man, No?
    ————————–
    Haven’t heard any complaints from her or her family. Been together 27 yrs. Going to Switzerland to visit family in Oct……..they love me.
    ===============
    Oh sure. What’s not to love?
    You don’t work. You brag that your wife works, while you sit on your azz. You don’t pay any attention to the bread winner in your family. You are on here every single night, while your wife is in the other room, alone. You have no job. No children.
    Nothing.
    Who do you think you’re kidding saying you haven’t heard any complaints from the family?

  929. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Wow, you don’t say.

    Would you rather have Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson and AJ Green over DHB too?

    Seems to me like a few folks in here could use a couple beers and a few bong hits to mellow out a bit !!

  931. hwnrdr Says:

    What’s up Mike?

  932. RaydaSwagger Says:

    Kell?
    When was the last time you felt like a man?
    Save the goofy chuckles.
    Seriously. When was the last time you felt proud?
    Your wife works. you don’t.
    She pays the bills. you don’t.
    You blog all day.

    So tell me again how a white family has no complaints while there daughter works, while her black husband brags that she takes care of him?

    you are making point fool, i would take certain qbs over palmer BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER PLAYERS, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SKIN COLOR.

    you are a slap

    Just got home. Hope to nap soon. Kell, it seems like you don’t have too many friends on here, no?

  935. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I’m sure you would rather have Terrell Pryor over Matt Ryan, and that’s about all I need to know.

    In fact, you have basically said you are ready to bench Carson after 4 games and go with Pryor, which basically blows your “better players” theory out the water.

    But carry on, if you most. Maybe you can sing us another lullaby about Troy Smith, Jarrod Johnson and EJ Manuel while your at it.

    Amen to that! Bong rips at 7 @ kickoff! Gotta be to bed early though….takin’ my boy to LAX.
