Coordinators pleased with progress
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012 at 4:23 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The third exhibition game is when teams tend to play their projected starters the longest, meaning we’ll get our best gauge of how the Raiders shape up for the regular-season opener Saturday night.
Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp and defensive coordinator Jason Tarver already have seen enough to have a pretty fair idea about where their players stand. On Wednesday, both sounded as if they are satisfied with the progress made so far in training camp.
“Applying the rules, we’ve been doing pretty well,” Tarver said. “And learning how to work together, we’ve been doing pretty well.”
Knapp seems just as confident in his offensive troops.
“Yeah, I’m pleased,” Knapp said. “It may not show up on the scoreboard right now, we need to improve our scoring production, but there’s been quite a few changeable parts on offense along with learning a new system and I did see, as I told the offense after the second game, good improvement from game one to game two. We’re moving the ball well, we just gotta do a better job of finishing.”
Sure, people want to know why Carson Palmer is forcing passes, why the Raiders aren’t punching in the ball from the 1-yard line and why the Raiders didn’t score at all against the Cowboys?
Calm down, Knapp said, in essence. This is the preseason, when teams work on things and don’t get so caught up in what the opponent is doing.
That will change, to some extent, Saturday, given the Raiders are game-planning somewhat for the Detroit Lions as a means of simulating the flow and preparation during the week of a regular-season game.
“We’re doing this week like it’s a mock in-season week, the way we teach our third-down presentation this morning, red zone, tomorrow short-yardage and goal-line,” Knapp said. “So, there’s a growth going on right now with the players and with the coaches. It’s not only we’re just coaching the players here, we’re coaching coaches because it’s a new staff being worked together and this is really the first time we’ve prepared for a game.
“Everything else has been sunny and sunshine, out here in grass and there’s no win-loss record. But now we’re preparing for a game, and it’s good practice for all of us to go through.”
Tarver said the Lions present a stern challenge for the Raiders defense in that the Lions offense does a nice job of changing the tempo, depending upon what they want to accomplish.
“I’m most interested in our process and how we handle those situations, because we haven’t gotten a lot of that yet,” Tarver said. “That’s what I’m excited about with Detroit for us. Let’s see what we can do. Player-wise, group-wise, I’m excited to watch them all.”
– Raiders coach Dennis Allen said center Stefen Wisniewski likely won’t play against the Lions, in part because of the calf injury Wisniewski suffered against the Dallas Cowboys and in part because it’s only an exhibition game.
“If we were in the regular season, could he push through and play? Probably,” Allen said. “Maybe. I don’t know. We’re not going to take that chance right now in a preseason game.”
Alex Parsons is in line to start at center Saturday. Knapp said the fact Parsons got in so much work with the first-team offense during the offseason workouts, while Wisniewski was recovering from shoulder surgery, and since Wisniewski’s most-recent injury bodes well for his making a seamless transition.
– Backup quarterback Matt Leinart participated in some drills Wednesday, with his right index finger tapes up. Allen said Leinart is healthy enough to play Saturday night. He said it will be a game-time decision.
If Leinart is held out, that means more playing time for Terrelle Pryor. It also means that Pryor would get his first shot at showing what he can do against defenders who actually might make an opening-day roster.
– Defensive tackle Richard Seymour missed practice once again. He has missed all three practices since the Raiders game against the Cardinals on Friday night.
Still, Allen said, his absence has more to do with Seymour’s age than it does with a knee that has bothered him for at least part of camp.
“It’s not an injury,” Allen said. “He’s an older veteran guy and his knees get a little sore, so we try to rest him to make sure we get him ready to play.”
Allen said Seymour “pushed real hard” early in camp, so now it’s time to put on the brakes and think long-term with the regular-season just around the corner.
“Guys can only get out and get so many … they’ve only got so many shots,” Allen said “When a guy gets more age on him, you have to be careful as far as how much you use him. The deal is, we have to get him enough work to get him ready to play but yet have him ready to play so we can have him for a full 16 games this year.”
– Tarver said for second-year cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke to take the next step, he needs to carry over what he does in practice to the games.
“I would really like to see him play like he plays out here, and just play with what we know he can do,” Tarver said. “And he’s heard that from me this week, so that’s what I’d like to see him do. Play like he plays at practice, because he plays pretty good at practice.”
Van Dyke looked sharp early on in camp. However, he struggled in Oakland’s first two exhibition games.
Van Dyke said he is going to follow Tarver’s advice.
“I’ve just got to just go out there and play ball,” Van Dyke said. “I’m doing too much thinking I think, and coach Tarver, he gave me a lot of advice, just telling me to go out there and just play ball. Don’t worry about making mistakes, just play like I was the first two weeks of camp.”
– For those worried about Palmer’s inconsistent play the first two games, Knapp offered up this explanation:
“I’ve encouraged from Day One, my belief for a quarterback to learn a new offense, you got to try some stuff,” Knapp said. “And I’ll sacrifice some of the ups and downs that go with that. It’s like all of our professions, isn’t it? If you make some mistakes, you usually grow from it.
“And that’s what I want him to do in the preseason since the games aren’t held accountable, so to speak. You still want to win, you still want to have that taste of it, but he’s got to test himself. I don’t ever want to train a guy to be conservative from Day One. He won’t know his limits then. It’s very important that quarterbacks who are new to the system, him and Terrelle primarily here, take some chances and get a feel for, ‘OK, what can I do and what can’t I do while it’s preseason?’ ”
– Knapp called running back Darren McFadden’s number on back-to-back down plays near the goal line against the Cardinals. McFadden got stuffed both times. However, that won’t deter Knapp from going back to McFadden in similar situations.
“I’ve always had a belief that the number one back can still be the goal line back, doesn’t have to necessarily be a bigger, stronger guy,” Knapp said. “My experience tells me so. The last couple years, it was Arian Foster had a lot of success. Warrick Dunn was one the best inside tackle runners I’ve ever been around as a coach.
“It’s not just the back that requires the execution of the play. So, it didn’t bother me to have him in there, we just didn’t get it executed across the board.”

Thank You Mr Steve! I appreciate your hard work and dedication to the Raider Nation! Whew! Boy…I really enjoyed this article! Okay so let me get this straight Knapp said to calm down? Well I’m calm and I looking for improvement from our O this Saturday against the Lions. I’m thrilled Leinart is healthy and playing Saturday…dude looks sharper than Palmer and I’m a huge Palmer fan. I am soooo excited….TP6 will have players which most likely will make the roster protecting him and playing for him. I can’t wait!

Al, Has Knapp ever lied to us?
I hate it when coaches tell u how good the team is DESPITE not winning.
Derek Dooley (HC at Tenn.) said “Everything is fine. It’s just unfortunate that we don’t have those external indicators that show how good we really are yet”.
“EXTERNAL INDICATORS”?????????? He means WINS.
I’ll spout the age old mantra “It’s only preseason” in regard to Knapp. Cuz it’s true, but Knapp please…throw us a bone on Saturday would ya?

August 22nd, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Yeah but Knapp is right on that point about finding out limits. I do a little racing as a hobby and when your driving a fast machine you need to find out where the limit is, preferably in practice and not the race. Cuz to find the limit means spinning out most often times or at least getting right up on the edge of control and having to fight to reign it back in.
Now the question is do you find that out in a controlled environment like a test session (in racing) or preseason game or do you want find that out in pack of other racers when the consequences are REAL?
People who get their panties all wadded up over preseason games and 10 year vets are missing the point. Probably forever.

Remember that flea flicker in 2010. On the Raiders own goal line 1st and 10 Bush runs up the middle and fliped it back to Soup who threw to wide open Murphy. Ball came up short but….If Knapp can bend a little from his philosofy, He’s got the QB who can make that throw now.
I hope Knapp mixes it up. When opposing defenses are putting 8 in the box because of the dink and dunk and run that creates opportunities for the WR’s.
I’m trying to stay optomistic.

Knapp,
I wouldn’t try punching DMAC across the line against Suh and his boys, unless you want DMAC to go down early, for the season.
I guess you didn’t watch Lions v Ravens last Saturday: Lions defense is scary, crazy, super quick and violent and would love to stuff a 10lb DMAC in a 5lb bag.
Besides, historically, DMAC does little against top flight defenses.
Just be smart and limit his playing time.

Why are people so afraid of the Lions, specially their Defense?.
We played them late last year.
Carson Palmer completed an amazing 32 of 40 for 367 yards, 1 TD and no Int’s.
DHB caught 8 for 155 and a TD.
Bush had 139 yards rushing and receiving.
And we have a Defense now, I think.
We had those guys, we were up 13 points in the middle of the 4th quarter before collapsing, but we looked like the better team out there for all but 6 minutes of that game.
Bring them on.

Megatron is a monster. He’s so big and tall, that his vertical leap was a good 24 inches higher than the two CBs covering him. In that way even if the pass was thrown short or out of place, Megatron would snatch it before the CB’s could make a play.
If we can hold our own against the Lions then we can stop worrying.

KK, there were many posters in here who said just that: RB’s are a dime a dozen and Bush wasn’t worth 2 dead flies.
I said many time we would rue the day we lost him. Not only does Bush have more running and passing yards than DMAC in 4 seasons, he’s a hammer at the line.
I am not a worshiper of Bush but he did compliment the slashing over the top speed style of DMAC and held his own after DMAC went down.
Hue, in the last 5 games made the running game one dimensional and Bush was caught in the middle, mainly running 2 to 3 times on our every possession.
Wish we had him now.

You are an idiot.
You never even saw Plunkett play. Right now some of us would be wishing Gore was running for the Raiders.
And, btw, if you want to keep it up, you and I can go to it 24/7 365.
You had some interesting and meritorious posts, and some I disagreed with but I had made disparaging comments about you.
But if you want to go that route, just tell me baby and it will on between you and me, permanently.

You are starting to remind me Beeech Dawg, and that nonsense fantasy, about being a music producer.
Beeech Dawg couldn’t get past the copyright issues for “Wrecks n Effects”, the name of a hip-hop group from the late 90’s which he seems in his fantasy world to have pirated.
Now you announce you are going into the studio “with six new songs.”
All the sound designers and music producers I know in Hollywood, west LA and Santa Monica are just getting their second wind and will work till midnight.
What are you doing F’ing around on this blog harassing someone you know not, when you should be working??

Why are people so afraid of the Lions, specially their Defense?.
We played them late last year.
Carson Palmer completed an amazing 32 of 40 for 367 yards, 1 TD and no Int’s.
DHB caught 8 for 155 and a TD.
Bush had 139 yards rushing and receiving.
And we have a Defense now, I think.
We had those guys, we were up 13 points in the middle of the 4th quarter before collapsing, but we looked like the better team out there for all but 6 minutes of that game.
Bring them on.
————————————–
Word!
I was there.
The 2012 version of the Raiders should be more explosive on the Offense.
The Defense will be better by default, with huge upside.

I think when people talk about RBs being a dime a dozen is that most running backs will do ok behind a good O-line. for example now this is just my opinion Barrry Sanders was the greatest rb ever behind some crappy O-lines on the other hand Emmit Smith was an Good back behind an HOF O-line. Now if we switched the two and put Barry on DAL an Emmit on DET what would be the outcome? a lot less fame an fortune imo and Barry would probably have put ridiculous numbers. So imo it is more about the O-line than the back you have not to say the back doesnt matter but you have backs that suck (justin fargas) and backs who are Great (DMC) but they will only be as good as their O-line. The exception to that is the ZBS TDAVIS Olandis Garry & Rueben Droungs Tdavis being the only Great of the three in the old denver days.

In a one back offense? No. There are only a handful of backs that can do it all on there own. Most teams need 2-3 guys to get the job done. I’d take him as the #1 of a 2-3 back system.

Would you pay him 6 mil a season to do it?

understood, but to me DMAC is the closest thing we have to having a franchise player. Of course his injuries may negate some of that optimism, but when hes right hes a dominate force. so why would we implement a system that limits his abilities.

From what I’ve been able to gather, the opposite will be true.
DMAC will be used to exploit match ups by motioning him out of the back fiel, and setting him up out wide.
The Offense will use him in multiple sets and formations, and not just as a split set or I running back.

**************************
100% correct. Unfortunately he’s NO Gayle Sayers. When put into a #1 RB position, after DMac went down, he showed that he’s simply an ordinary RB. He was terrible in the last 6 games averaging 1.8 YPC. That’s pretty sad. Plus, he doesn’t give it is all when it doesn’t suit him. He’s a terrible backfield blocker and in reality, is a real liability to your QB’s health. We can do better.

There has been a lot of criticism of Palmer in the last game, but if you look at the video, he was running for his life most of the time.
When Leinart came in, they kept the backs in to block on passes, and he had more time against 2nd team defense.

I think when people talk about RBs being a dime a dozen is that most running backs will do ok behind a good O-line. for example now this is just my opinion Barrry Sanders was the greatest rb ever behind some crappy O-lines on the other hand Emmit Smith was an Good back behind an HOF O-line. Now if we switched the two and put Barry on DAL an Emmit on DET what would be the outcome? a lot less fame an fortune imo and Barry would probably have put ridiculous numbers. So imo it is more about the O-line than the back you have not to say the back doesnt matter but you have backs that suck (justin fargas) and backs who are Great (DMC) but they will only be as good as their O-line. The exception to that is the ZBS TDAVIS Olandis Garry & Rueben Droungs Tdavis being the only Great of the three in the old denver days.
————————————–
Agreed.
Think of Mark Van Egan.
Behind Shell, Upshaw, and Co. He rushed for over a 1000 yards.

That is my concern too. We need TD’s not FG’s. You can’t run zone blocking at the goalline when the D has that many men in the box. The play takes too long to develop and the defense has too much time to make a play. Run a power formation, play action or a toss to Mcfadden. He has the speed to make it to the outside.

The Raiders season goes as DMAC goes, if he lasts 16 games the sky is the limit even with Palmer at Qb. The offense has to be centered around DMAC first then open everything else up. Use DMAC wisely though, but he has to have at least 25 touches a game.

The year the Raiders won the SB in ‘83 their pre-season record was 1-3.
In ‘06 when they went 2-14 they were 4-1 in pre-season.
Records mean nothing in pre-season.

August 22nd, 2012 at 10:31 pm
85 Bears were 0-4 in preseason too. I am assuming they looked good when the starters were in and/or it ruly was just practice for them.

Final scores don’t mean anything in preseason, but that doesn’t mean the Team should look bad.
August 22nd, 2012 at 10:45 pm
DJJ I don’t think if the Raiders have gone through a 1/4th of the playbook so far this pre-season. I don’t know if that’s by design so they don’t tip their hand too much.
The Raiders know what they have in starting personnel so it’s best to get the scrubs and back-ups the work they need in order to make sure the team has the right roster.
Wouldn’t be cool if the Raiders pulled an ‘85 Bears season out of their backside? I wouldn’t complain! I’d be in the face of all the haters I’ve had to deal with the last 10 years!
August 22nd, 2012 at 10:47 pm

what happens in here when\if we hang 40 pts on Detroit.

I’m not too worried about the sloppy preseason so far the only thing I DO NOT want to see against is another 99.9 yard drive by the Lions with Miles Burris (attempting to) gaurding Megatron.
As long as that and no major injuries happen…

far more than any one should have to.
This is where we get to see how good Carver is.Where can
he hide Burris.Truth about the big back though…don’t believe we’ll see a lot of those after the cut.
Guessing we be dancing with the one we brung.Can’t for the life of me get a handle on his name but he ran a lot

I don’t know how many “toys” Knapp has considering the injuries. But, can he use them? His pedigree ain’t exactly HOF material.
I’ve never liked the Dink & Dunk. I’ve always liked, er Al Davis offense (Sid Gillman) .
I haven’t seen much of any highlights, strikes…..
————————————–
KK, I know you take a lot of cr@p here so I try and leave you alone most of the time. Some stuff must have went on long before I was a member here that makes everyone hate you like they do. Im not part of that group, I dont know what went down, so please dont take this as piling on….
But I gotta ask, why do you and others put style over substance? I dont give a sh1t if it is dink and dunk or not, you know what I like? FIRST DOWNS. Move the chains and you will keep me happy.
That said, here are the concerns I have going into the season…
With the exception of backup QB, we have regressed talent-wise in nearly every single phase of our team.
RB (-Bush)
WR (injuries)
DL (Seymour is a year older)
LB (-Wimbley & a hurt Curry)
CB
We are hoping to cover that up with a new modern defensive scheme. I believe it will work but it doesnt change the fact that we also have a:
First time owner
First time GM
First time Head Coach
First time DC
We were 8-8 last year with a team that had a coach that played to our players’ strengths. We ran the offense that Carson knew and a running style that suited our best player in DMC. Now we have regressed in talent and have drastically changed our offensive system for maybe the worse while changing our defensive system probably for the better.
According to the semi’s here:
CP3 will throw 20+ picks
DMC wont last 5 games
We should trade Ford and DMoore
Seymour isnt a leader and has no impact on our team
Death Ro is a waste
Our DB’s cant cover
Most of the semi’s here dont have such high thoughts on our team considering the lofty expectation. Im not surprised Gannon ranked us 25th. I dont believe that is where he said we would finish, that is just where he sees us now. That is a pragmatic assumption. We’ve regressed in every phase on paper. Results will hopefully prove otherwise.
Say what you want about Hue Jackson, but CP3 has some major adjusting to do for the WCO and so does DMC for the zone running scheme. I dont like trying to make players adjust to your scheme. I’d rather get players that fit our scheme or build a scheme to suit the players. While we finally have a defensive system in place that will play to our strengths, we may have taken a step back on offense. We may be in for a rough ride. It remains to be seen.
I realize that keeping Hue was not a realistic option with the way he played his cards. That doesnt change the fact that our two best players dont exactly fit our current offensive system. They must adjust or we are f’d.
In this game against Detroit, I just want to see us move the chains. I want to see Palmer using his weapons efficiently and decisively. It’s time to start Streater so that CP3 has a go-to guy that will catch the ball. We need to see what this guy looks like against the 1’s.
And I want to see DMC start hitting the right gaps. So far, after rewatching both games twice, he has left some serious yardage on the table by not choosing the right time to make his cut.
Taiwan Jones needs to show he is our #2. We cant wait around any longer.
We need a new bruiser back. Ive seen enough of Goodson and Lonyae Miller.
If DMoore and Ford cant stay healthy, we know Plax will. We’ve already passed on TO & Randy Moss. We need some healthy talent at this position. Eddie McGee, Im talking to you! It’s time you stepped up and made your presence felt.
As for our D against Detroit, I feel pretty good about our D right now.

Knapp has to demonstrate.
He has the tools and no excuses.
Wheat from chaff.
We shall see.
The Reggime is watching.
————————-
He might not have the tools. The real question is whether CP3 and DMC can adapt to our new system on offense.
The WCO doesnt suit CP3’s strengths and DMC is not a natural ZBS running back.
Knapp is a good coordinator. His system works. But you need the players that can play it. We didnt get rid of Jeff George back in ‘99 because he wasnt a good QB, we got rid of him because Gruden needed a QB suited for the WCO.
Jeff George was a very good QB after leaving us, he just needed a system that fit his strengths.
The whole Knapp + CP3/DMC thing may just be a square peg-round hole situation. It doesnt mean either parties arent talented if it doesnt work, it just means that they werent a good fit. This happens all the time in the league.
Not knowing your personel is the leading reason why a lot of talented teams on paper dont execute to their abilities.
August 23rd, 2012 at 4:26 am
Personally, I think we should have kept Hue’s system in place.
Nothing against Knapp but his system doesnt suit our talent offensively. It makes no sense to make everyone adjust to our OC rather than just get a OC that could have ran and built on our previous system.

#274.
Riff that was one hell of a post dude.Don’t agree with all of it but I hear you.The reason that many of the Nation put ’style over substance’ and shiver at the thought of the WCO is that between 1967 and 1986 inclusive we had one losing season.All that time we simply lined up….and blew em off the ball.Bear in mind that AL honed his craft under Sid Gillman.It could be said that Al Davis was the surrogate father of the offense you couldn’t pay him to play.It really hurts me to the bone to listen to people saying that this man was senile.He simply could not understand
what became of honor,a man’s loyalty and the will to
win.The league had become overnight a Ho Stroll.As far
removed from it’s roots as is humanly possible.
far more than enough said I fear.
August 23rd, 2012 at 5:53 am
Al wasn’t senile. He was stubborn. Didn’t want to change with the times. He got left behind.

Good post, Riff.
I am encouraged by the defense, and I am hopeful that we can make some connections on offense. Coming out of the gate, we were poning the Cowboys; then, after the Carson pick, things went silent. We played a better team the next week, but some stupid mistakes cost us a chance to win that game outright. It did give the coaches an opportunity, though, to see some players and get an idea of who is going to make the team.
Now, we have players coming back from injury and a chance to unleash more of a game plan against a very good team – this will be a true test. My hope is that we move the chains and keep things very competitive. I would like to see DMac score a TD, and I would also like to see Palmer have a TD pass.
Maybe all that’s too much to ask in an exhibition game – but I’m askin’!!

he avgeraged 3.8 ypc , tied for 45th in the league with
brandon jacobs. bush is being paid 7.45 mil this
season,jacobs 1.45 mil. I beleive reg with find someone
after cuts who can avg more that 3.8. Bush is probably
close to dead last in nfl in bliz pick up as well.

Difference between Luck and RGIII…
Luck with Indy probably only have to worry about the Texans. They lost Williams and Ryan, but that D still looks good. SOme experts are saying possibly better than last year.
RGIII is in a tough divsion with all the good D he will face this year. I’m wishing him the best!
August 23rd, 2012 at 6:30 am
RG III will be decent, but the Redskins have a long uphill climb this year and he will take quite a few lumps — a lot like Troy Aikman did his first year.
August 23rd, 2012 at 6:31 am
Speaking of RB’s.
The Miami Dolphins have 4 Tailbacks right now, Reggie Bush, last year’s 2nd round pick Daniel Thomas, this year’s 4th round pick Lamar Miller from the U and former Houston’s ZBS 1200 yard rusher Steve Slaton (26).
They like Bush and Miller, but Thomas might be trade bait and Slaton might get cut because of the numbers game, I did read he was having a good camp, pressing Thomas for RB 2 role and Joe Philbin liked him, so you never know.
Point is, maybe we can pick up Slaton if gets cut or maybe we get him for a conditional 7th Round pick (provided he makes the team), he’s a system fit, a young 26 because he doesn’t have a lot of wear and can return kicks as well.
Now Slaton lost his job in Huston because he started fumbling in his 2nd season and Arian Foster emerged, but I think he’s worth a shot, if Taiwan remains dinged-up let’s place him on the PUP list and give Slaton a run.

It looks like the Dolphins may probably keep all four – special teams, as well as backups on offense. I like the thought process, though, and I will be interested to see who gets cut around the league.
August 23rd, 2012 at 6:39 am
I think RGIII will be the Darren McFadden of QB’s.
Lights-out at times when healthy, but never healthy.

I hope you’re right and that RoMac becomes the player we all hoped he would be when he was drafted back in ‘10. I would love nothing better than to see him body slam T.O. next week!!

“Luck is solid. RGIII will be bust like Ryan Leaf.”
I had that thought as well he is not in a very good situation being in Washington with Shanahan.
I would be surprised if he was any good given those circumstances. I haven’t seen him play yet this preseason so I cant offer too much insight into his abilities at this level.
August 23rd, 2012 at 6:43 am

looked good against us.

I trust that Reggie has been watching all the preseason action and he has a “short list” of potential backs to bring in.

Get this…the dude is a fu@#$g stud.Anyone come up with
another who could do this? (Wheeler doesn’t count as he wasn’t here)……Heysoos christos brothers you are hard too please.
August 23rd, 2012 at 6:54 am
The Saints have 5 RB’s right now, Chris Ivory and undrfated rookie Travaris Cadet fighting for one spot, it appears the Rookie is in the lead due to his versatility so Ivory may be available.
Anthony Dixon in gonna get cut in SF, he was a guy who seemed destined to take over Frank Gore but so far has failed to reach his potential, could be worth a look.
The one thing we have going if it comes to a recruiting battle for RB’s that get cut is that we can offer them Michael Bush’s role, as McFadden’s back-ups they wil know there’s a chance they get a shot at starting sooner or later, fingers crossed.

I’m sure Reggie has a list and probably has his eyes on a few players he once scouted who are currently falling behind with other teams, I’m just listing some obvious options, Reggie must have a much deeper list with some of his own scouting reports.

I understand Campbell has been performing well against third and fourth-string DLs who won’t even be in the league two weeks from now. He probably wouldn’t even have made our team.
August 23rd, 2012 at 7:06 am
Beast Campbell was just a big guy with a lot of freakish athleticism — I was terrified that his combine workout was going to make him soar up the draft boards and that we would take him in the first round. Cooler heads prevailed and he fell the way that he did. He was a good pickup in the 4th Round, but dude has never been NFL-ready, imo.

Tiny hands came close to having another broken neck.Case you missed it.Wheeler brings the wood.His (tiny hands that is)shoulder is still partially numb.Making it quite difficult to hang on to a sandwich.The MAN was out there trying to run the ball..
in the meantime you were in here trying to run your mouth.Mr Campbell was deemed expendable by Reggie…
I wish him the best….You on the other hand…
August 23rd, 2012 at 7:14 am
Hopefully Goodson’s bad play was due to his injury.
August 23rd, 2012 at 7:14 am
Not giving up on Goodson just yet, while you can never excuse a fumble, I felt the one where the defender launched himself and put his helmet on his arm-football was a tough play, a lot of backs would have coughed that one up.
Trouble is teams will target the ball when he has it and his body languaje showed fumbling is in his head already, that’s a bad combination, hopefully he can improve his ball-handling without rushing affraid.

Let’s just see if both Goody and Jones make the roster, first. Then, let’s see who steps up when/if DMac gets banged up (which he inevitably will). Either way, I think if we had stuck with Bush, he was going to go down to injury – he was about due, and I think we got about as much mileage out of him as we could. Had he been tradable, Reggie could’ve worked a trade; as it stands, he’s one of the highest paid bench-warming backs in the league.
August 23rd, 2012 at 7:51 am
Yeah, Wheeler’s Ballin’…. He came to make his presence felt, and THAT he has. He claims to be a victim of scheme with Indy (Being chained down). We can relate to that since alot of OUR players feel the same way. The dude us UN-afraid. He doesn’t dodge or try to evade blockers. He takes them on and gives em’ something to think about next time.

McCann was playing nickle corner, ahead of DVD going into the last game, and I see no reason for that to change.
McCann is safe on the roster, IMO, and will probably be our kick return guy until Jacoby’s menstrol cycle is over.

The only “locks” at CB, IMO, are Bartell, Spencer and Chekwa.
Me thinks, Lee, DVD and McCann are fighting for 2 spots.

Bartell, Spencer, DVD, Chekwa & Lee are locks.
McCann will make the roster if there is no other options to return kicks.

Lee is a ST coverage stud. And plays 10x better CB than McCann.
McCann is only on a team due to his avg return ability.
DVD is nowhere near the chopping line. At all. Coaches have seen his ability in practice, its their goal to get that in a game.
Like I said, McCann may make the roster, only due to Ford/Moore being hurt.

Well, we know you’re not a troll, O. I share your concern about Knapp but we won’t know how it’ll play out exactly until the Monday night opener. One positive is that the O has been moving the ball. Turnovers are a problem, no doubt, but you take the good with the. Ad with Palmer. The INTs will be there. Let’s hope he limits them. He’s still an upgrade over anything we’ve had here in a LONG time.

I want to know what you are basing your assumptions off.
Not to be an azz and attack, just want to see what others are basing their 53 man roster picks off of.
In the past, salary, 40 time and draft investment is about all you needed to know with Al and the 53.
We are all in for a change now moving forward.
August 23rd, 2012 at 9:46 am
I’m sure Regg will be looking hard at some players getting cut in the near future, but i think he’ll save most of that cap space.
Now i don’t know if it rolls over to next year (Cap $), but he signed a few 1 year deals. Let’s say Wheeler balls and Bartell puts up some nice tape, he may want to offer these 2 long term contracts towards the end of the season, rather getting into a bidding war in the offseason. Just somethin to chew on
August 23rd, 2012 at 9:47 am
I guess so, DAV. Sure looked to me like you were trying to prove a point.

August 23rd, 2012 at 9:49 am
TBB,
I like Palmer, he is the best QB we had since Gannon, but ignoring his issues because of that is a mistake IMHO.
I wasn’t sold on Knapp from the beginning. The guy was demoted to QB coach the last 2 years for a reason. His offense was ranked in the 20’s the last 4 years of his career as an OC. Also, if you look at his resume, he had 2 good years with 2 HOF WRs in SF, 3 avg years, and 4 years below avg.

DVD??? He has looked like fresh doggy-poo for the better part of 6 preseason games now.
August 23rd, 2012 at 9:54 am
Yeah, Knapp is a concern, O. Get the same queasy feeling about Knapp that I got about Bres last year. Palmer’s been talking up the O he’s installed though. Hope he’s not just blowing smoke.
No, we can’t ignore the INTs but we don’t have much if an alternative at this point. It’s one thing if we had someone waiting in the wings. Just like Soup last year. Never was a big fan as he’s just mediocre to me, but I got behind him once it was clear he was by far the best option on the roster,

Yes I did, I will probably not be the only ginger with a Palmer jersey on but we should meet for a smoke or a beer. Will you be with “B” in the parking lot pregame?
He usually finds me. Which game were you going to? Saturday’s or the opener?

Cornerbacks:
Bartell and Spencer are starting.
Chekwa and Lee seem to be solidly behind them.
McCann has value as a returner.
Unless they plan on keeping 6 CBs, DVD could be the victim of a numbers game. He’d better start balling, and FAST.
