Raiders break camp in high spirits
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, August 23rd, 2012 at 1:58 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Today marked the 19th and final practice for the Raiders in the Napa portion of their training camp. With the final horn came players sprinting off the field, players darting for the exit from the field and coach Dennis Allen warning people to be careful of players and coaches making a beeline for Highway 29.
Through it all, Allen and players say, the Raiders leave here a better team than the one that arrived July 28. Yet, everyone admits there’s still plenty of work to do between now and the regular-season opener Sept. 10 against the San Diego Chargers.
“I thought it was good work,” Allen said. “I thought it was good work. I thought we had a chance to get better. Our guys worked extremely hard. We still have a long way to go and a lot of things we have to continue to improve on, but I thought it was a good foundation to build on.”
Veteran safety Mike Mitchell has been a part of four training camps, under three head coaches. He singled out this one as the best of them all.
“It was pretty good,” Mitchell said. “We got a lot of good work done. I like to only talk about defense because that’s what I play. This is the best that we’ve been this early in the year as far as having less confusion, things of that nature. We pretty much got a sound scheme.
“This game will tell us a lot of how we’re going to be because everyone is going to play, we got a real scheme and everything. So, I’m really excited about it. It’s been a really good camp.”
Defensive tackle Richard Seymour knows a thing or two about what makes for a good camp. He calls this one a nice start.
“I’m a firm believer that the cream will always rise to the top,” Seymour said. “It may not start out that way and, also, little things, if you don’t address them, they can become glaring weaknesses for you as well. We’re in a position now to continue what we’ve started to build. We’ve laid the foundation but just because you got a good foundation don’t mean you got a good roof over your head, either.”
– Linebacker Aaron Curry hasn’t practiced in more than two months, and he remains in the physically unable to perform list as a result of sore knees. Even so, Allen isn’t counting out Curry for the regular-season opener.
“No, not to that point,” Allen said, when asked if Curry has missed too much time to be counted upon for the opener. “Now what role he plays, we’ll see. I’m not going to make any decision on him as far as ruling him out or not, at least until we get into game week.”
It’s important to note that Curry still won’t be able to practice at full capacity until three days after he is activated because of the acclimation period set forth in the new collective bargaining agreement.
Therefore, he’s looking at one week’s worth of practice, at best, to prepare for the Chargers game.
The other option for the Raiders is to leave Curry on the P.U.P. list, which would force Curry to miss at least the first six regular-season games. The deadline to make that decision is fast approaching.
– Speaking of Seymour, he missed practice for the fourth straight time since he played Friday night against the Arizona Cardinals.
Seymour confirmed that he isn’t injured, as Allen said, but just taking it easy on his achy knees. Allen said the plan is for Seymour to play.
“I’m not sure,” Seymour said. “It will be a game-time decision. I just want to be smart and, I’m not one to say preseason games don’t matter, I definitely think they matter. They build your foundation in terms of getting ready for the season. They’re definitely important games, but we’ll do what’s best for the team.”
– Backup quarterback Matt Leinart also said he isn’t sure if he’ll play Saturday as a result of the wound he suffered to his right (non-throwing hand) index finger against the Cardinals.
“We’ll see,” Leinart said. “I got a good little gash on there. I’ve been doing as much as I can this week. I just want to get it healthy as quick as possible, so I’m ready for Week 1.”
Leinart practiced in a limited capacity all week, while being mindful of his injury.
“I didn’t take really any snaps this week,” Leinart said. “We’ll probably see how it’s feeling on Saturday, taking a few snaps. My main goal is just to get it healthy before the season and be able to go by the time the regular season’s here.”
– The Raiders entered camp with pretty much the same players they still have on their roster as they pulled out of Napa.
Defensive tackle Travis Ivey was cut early in camp and linebacker Mario Kurn and wide receiver Duke Calhoun suffered season-ending injuries. Linebacker Korey Bosworth is the only new face in camp.
Allen said there might come a time soon when the Raiders add some players.
“There’s a lot of factors that go into it,” Allen said. “We’ve got our cap situation is where it is from a financial standpoint. We feel good about the players that we have and then we’ll look to add to the roster as we get through probably the 75-man cut and the 53-man cut.”
– Another constant has been the projected starters. The players that lined up during offseason workouts are the same ones slated to start the opener.
Naturally, that might change if Curry and/or wide receiver Denarius Moore is/are unable to play. However, the point is made.
“There’s been some good competition throughout camp at different positions,” Allen said. “Some of it because of an injury standpoint a guy hasn’t moved up like you thought he would or a guy has moved up because of an injury. There’s been competition, but the guys who are listed number one on the depth chart, right now we feel like those are the guys that give us the best chance of winning.”
– Refreshing to hear a coach admit something that few others are confident enough to do. Allen said he isn’t beyond sitting on a player in exhibition games as a means of preventing that player from performing well enough to catch the attention of other teams.
The benefit, of course, is that it would be easier for the Raiders to bring back a player that gets cut next week to either the practice squad or even the 53-man roster.
“We’re going to try to do everything we can to keep the guys we feel like will be good football players,” Allen said. “We’ll decide those as we go along. We certainly don’t want to make available a guy we think might be a good player.”
So, would that entail not playing a guy as much, coach?
“Potentially, if we feel like we have guys who will fit that category,” Allen said.
Well played.
– Tight ends Richard Gordon (ribs) and Tory Humphrey (hamstring) were among those who missed practice. Allen said both will be game-time decisions Saturday night.
– Now that the players are out of the confines of hotel rooms and on their own, so to speak, Allen said it’s imperative that players such as Seymour, quarterback Carson Palmer and guard Cooper Carlisle keep them in line when it comes to spending their free time.
“That’s where our veteran leadership on the team has to take over,” Allens aid. “This is a business. We all got a job to do. We’re all held accountable to a certain standard. We have to make sure everybody is there and available and part of that is your personal business.”
– Wide receiver/kick returner Jacoby Ford showed up at practice wearing a walking boot as a means of protecting his injured left foot. Allen said the diagnosis remains the same: a sprain.
“There’s been no change,” Allen said. “It’s the same as what we said before. We’re hopeful that we can get him out of the boot pretty soon and see where he’s at.”
– Sounds as if it’s a safe bet that the Raiders will be returning to Napa in 2013 for an 18th straight year, based on Allen’s endorsement.
“I enjoyed it,” Allen said. “We have a great situation here in Napa. This is, as far as the setup is, the best training camp I’ve ever been a part of from that standpoint. The weather’s been great, the hotel has been outstanding. That’s been good. Our work has been good. I was pleased with what we did here in training camp.”
– The Raiders are off Friday and Sunday, with a game against the Detroit Lions sandwiched in between. They practice next in Alameda on Monday.

I said he was a great back. But he was the enemy when the Lions came and played the Raiders in L.A. Long and Townsend would bottle him up and he just magically shifted and scooted through the line into the secondary. Unbelievable runner but not a Raider! lol

Isnt that what organized activities are for? Like camps and sports teams?
If your paying that sorta money for your kid to go to a school to “socialize” rather than learn, you are wasting your money.
I was homeschooled. I did at least 3 hours of schoolwork every day after school with my mother. She didnt trust the school system. But she did send me their to socialize.
8 hours a day just to learn to socialize is a waste of time IMO. Especially since “socializing” will only get a kid in trouble.
Funny thing is, that I was so worried about my grades, I didnt have time to socialize and play much.
Point being, there are better and cheaper ways to get your kid social interaction. And social interaction is overrated anyways.
Whatever you do, dont stop the homeschooling or tutoring O.

In socialist states in Europe, the parents send their kids to school to actually LEARN and not use it as a day-care like we do in America. Thus the teachers are able to actually teach instead of running an asylum.
No need for private schools in socialists states where the citizens are responsible citizens.
We as Americans arent made for socialism. Which is why weve failed every single social program we’ve attempted. Including the public school system.
Private schools are decent, but I prefer to have much more control over what my children are learning. The curriculums being taught are basically written by corporations with agendas. Our kids arent learning the real history of our world, our Imperialism, or the truths behind our fabulous way of life.
These days, schools are more about teaching a kid how to sit straight, be quite, follow orders, and respect “authority”. Basically getting them acclimated to a police state. And if a kid cannot do that, he’s diagnosed with ADD and given drugs.
Im sorry, but if there is a 7 year old that can sit straight and be quite for 6 straight hours, Im way more worried about that kid than the one that wants to go run around outside.
Thats why Im going to go the private tutor/homeschool route. I can get more done in 4 hours with the kid privately than he can learn in a week in a public school. Then the child can spend the rest of the day being a actual kid. Club sports teams and YMCA type stuff.

That an excellent idea Riff, and we thought about it, but we decided on a private school for a lot reasons including socialization but mainly education.

He never would have had Elway’s mobility.
Could he have been a good QB? Sure. Just never for us. Weve never once developed a QB in all of our franchises history with exception of Stabler.
All of our best QB’s came pre-developed too us. Plunkett, Hostetler, George, Gannon, & CP3
Every time we had a chance to develop a guy we screwed it up: Marinovich (his own fault), Billy Joe, Tui, Andrew Walter, Jamarcuss
Al’s org wasnt very QB friendly. It’s a treacherous road being a young QB in the NFL as it is, trying to do it in pro sports most dysfunctional franchise makes it near impossible.

No worries. I appreciate you not taking offense to my suggestions. Some people can get super protective and defensive when it comes to advise on children rearing.
Just make sure you make your kid read on the side. Important political and philosophical stuff that they wont teach at a American school these days.
If I remember correctly, you are Muslim right? Dont expect our history books to teach a remotely accurate account of what the Nation of Islam is really about. Dont expect our history books to be honest about our manipulations in Arabia and Persia over the past 60 years. Im sure you know exactly what Im talking about.

——————————————-
Im not a Republican.
I dont hate the public school system. I hate the parents that fail it by not motivating their kids to go to school with the intent of learning. This is mostly a white problem.
Teachers/coaches are not their to motivate. That is the parents or students job. If the teacher or coach is busy motivating a student, then that time is wasted because no teaching is going on.
If the student or player is motivated, the teachers/coaches job is a million times easier and more likely to succeed.
Our countries students are not motivated. That is why our public school system has failed.

It has nothing to do with what they are paid.
Teaching is a relatively easy job. It only gets difficult when the student doesnt want to learn.
Anyone can teach. It doesnt take a advanced degree to do so. And its one of the most gratifying and rewarding experiences one can get in life. It does not require a high salary to do well.

Teachers with a puny salary, then having to spend their money on school supplies? C’mon.
———————
Teachers are forced to spend tremendous amounts of their budgets on corporate curriculums.
The first mistake is letting a teacher be in control of that sort of budget. If youve never made six figures in your life, you have no business spending someone elses.
Secondly, the main problem is that the teachers are forced to use these curriculums and arent allowed to create their own. Thus saving the budget for better use.

Riff,
I agree with Jim. Teacher’s salaries contribute to the problem. It’s not the main reason, but it doesn’t help when teachers have no respect or money. Why would our young bright minds consider careers in teaching, if there is no money or glory in that sector.
—————————
We dont need our “young brite minds” considering careers in teaching at the elementary or highschool level. Its not a job that requires a rare skillset. Its relatively easy.
The hard part is finding willing students these days.

TP is going to be AWSOME, he is actually being groomed to be a starter like Aaron Rodgers was! Yes I’m comparing the two QB’s. I remember when Rodgers came out of college the number one knock on him was he was not a very accurate passer with a weak arm and that’s why SF went with Alex Smith!! I’m not done yet if you look around the league at the Elite QB’s they all had to play Back up to someone for a full season or two before they got their shot. Farve/Rodgers, P.Manning/Captain Comeback aka Jim Harbaugh/, Rivers/Brees, E.Manning/Warner, Brady/Bledsoe, Brees/ Flutie. Some of these guys Like TP were even Third String QB’s, and like TP and were consider Very Long Shots and they have Won Superbowls so why not our guy? I remember when People were saying Drew Brees had a Noodle for an Arm and was too Short to make a differnce at QB. Now thousands of yards later and a Superbowl not to mention all-time single season passing record look at Brees now. Give TP at least two real years learning the QB trades before you start to pass Judgments. We finally have a good situation for someone to learn the position and not have the pressure to be the immediate starter

I would love to see that kid succeed.
One correction though, Manning didnt learn behind Harbaugh. He started right away, his first season and went 3-13 with a ton of yards passing and a ton of picks. He’s defintely the exception to the rules though. Most successful QBs need the pressure free grooming period.

That is because the only people who can afford University level schooling these days are kids who have their parents paying for them. And those students are the least motivated.
Unfortunately, the kids that really want to be there cant afford it. Student loans are impossible to get thanks to the banking cartels.
Kids that pay their own way are the best students and the most likely to end up with degrees and educations that will be worth anything. But “theyve” made that type of student near extinct these days.

If you think you are getting anything close to the real news by only those two sources, Fox and your gut, you are sadly mistaken.
I advise you to learn two new languages and start getting your news from more than one country and in more than one language.
Read papers, magazines, books, credible writers, and credible (even alternative) websites.
It also doesnt hurt to read history books from multiple nations. South America’s version of how we’ve ravaged that continent is a lot different than the accounts given in our own history books. Take Panama for example.
Then you will get a full spectrum of what is going on. And even then, its murky.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/08/23/kahlil-bell-refuses-pay-cut-gets-cut-by-bears/#comments
Bears waived Kahlil Bell.
The move was reportedly precipitated by Bell’s refusal to accept a paycut from $1.26 million to $700,000 as the third-string tailback. Bell played an important fantasy role down the stretch last season with 116.3 scrimmage yards per in the final three games of the season. Although Bell is well worth a flier for team with a zone-blocking scheme
Source; Rotoworld
i’ll tell you right now, i’d take him over Mike Goodson any time…seems like they are sticking with him because they actually traded something to get him…even with Bell’s struggles to chip block, he grades out higher than Goodson – but both fumble. (sigh)
A.Carter might be worth the signing, too.

That is because you dont have a clue how Halliburton actually makes their money.
Companies like Haliburton and the other contracting firms dont typically get paid via tax revenue. They get their money from the countries they work in. Those countries get loans from international monetary/bank funds. Our country underwrites the loans. The loans are written with inflated economic forecasts for these countries. Companies like Haliburton are the ones doing the forecast so the more they inflate the numbers, the greater their profits and the less likely the buying country is of being able to pay back the loan. The always default. And that is when our government steps in and asks for collateral in the form of publicly owned resources. And then the real damage gets done.
It’s been going on for decades. During republican and democratic presidencies. Weve been at war or colonizing non-stop. (We go to war when a country refuses the terms of the loan we are offering them).
Im highly oversimplifying things for the sake of the blog. Please forgive me.
The sad thing is, everything these companies do is legal. And they do it out in the open. Nobody notices or really cares.
It’s one big cartel. The banks, the contractors, the politicians, the corporations. Everyone has their hand in the pot. It’s just the current presidents crews turn. Prior to that, it was a near 30 year run by the Bush family and his cohorts.

I was extremely high on MJD when he came outa UCLA years ago and kept urging Raiders to get him but that’s history.
Now I’m not saying KBell is MJD but he’s a serious serious serious upgrade over Goodson. And he doesn’t fumble and is a work horse. He was a stud at UCLA who left early. And he was having an awesome camp with the cheap Bears.
Why are we trying to fix Goodson’s issues holding on the ball when we could get Bell?
Get Bell and cut Goodson.

Under state law, wagers must involve the outcome of “athletic contests” rather than elections or votes of any kind. This means you cannot even bet on who will win awards such as the Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year, Cy Young and the like.”

The fact that The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 by fat-cat bankers and since then dollar has lost 98% of its value is not a “conspiracy theory”.
The fact that the Federal Reserve has never been audited and that you nor anyone else has a clue about what they do should be enough to cause alarm in all but the brain dead.

All we have to do to get the economy “moving again” is have the President, under his plenary power Art.II of the U.S. Constitution, issue China and executive order that for every U.S. dollar which goes out to China, the U.S. must have one come in from China. Under Art.III Congress has the right to regulate foreign commerce, supporting the President.
Our relief valve, should be Mexico, which has plenty of cheap labor, that would manufacture the product while workers in the U.S. would assemble it. With a multitude of jobs created, Mexicans would be less inclined to jump the border, thus eliminating 2 issues with a single stroke, our trade deficit with China, and illegal immigration.
NAFTA was supposed to work that way but the politicians were bought off under GW Bush and China prevailed.
It would absolutely work since China needs the U.S. 300B times per month more than we need them. Factoring in the current trade deficit, $3.6T U.S. is going out to China every year, and $36T over the past decade, and after factoring in currency equivalence, it adds up to over $300T.
In 10 more years China will have us, and there will be nothing left.

Wrong KK. All the money-people did create millions of jobs – in China. Look a Apple: Steve Jobs should have been pilloried before he died, as a central architect in destroying the US middle class, outsourcing jobs to China. There is an estimated 11m employees in China doing Apple’s biding through huge Taiwanese Corps.
To me Jobs was an idiot who wasted his life creating clever media, which is dumbing down our youth.

KK, I bought a Dell PC for $1000 a few yrs ago. I added a lot of higher grade components. After 18 months the HD blew so I went to Fryes and bought a new one. That one lasted a year, was a western digital made in thailand.
I bought still another one, didn’t want western digital but Fryes told me because of the flood in Thailand that was all they had.
The 3rd HD I bought blew in 6 weeks, and Fryes said they wouldn’t take it back; because of their policy, I would have to deal directly with WD.
I told them that the Uniform Commercial Code is federal law governing the sales of good and that as such every item sold by a merchant to another merchant or consumer comes with an implied warranty of merchantability, under the UCC, so that all goods must be merchantable.
I told Fryes, and correctly so, that the UCC preempts all manufacturers, wholesalers, or retailers warranty to the consumer, and if they didn’t give me a new HD I would sue.
I further told Fryes that under the UCC, once a defective product is introduced into the stream of commerce, the consumer has the right to enforce UCC requirements on manufacturer, wholesaler, or retailer, store “policy” be damned.
Fryes gave me a new HD.
I don’t expect this HD to last long. The others were definitely defective, made in Thailand.
Maybe software makes a computer unstable, but I feel hardward is mainly to blame.

Entering the pre-season, what I looked forward to most, was getting an opportunity to watch TP play. We knew going in, that how TP performed would likely have little impact on the prospects for the 2012 season. The long term ramifications are another story entirely.
So what, if anything, have we gleamed so far about TP’s viability as the Raid’s future at QB ?
What I’ve learned is this:
TP’s mobility and athleticism is off the charts good.
TP appears to have his head on straight. I am confident will be able to learn his progressions, fine tune his footwork, and that he will put in the work requisite to success at the NFL level.
His arm strength is not quite what I thought it was, but it is more than sufficient.
Ultimately, it is accuracy as a passer that will determine TP’s fate as an NFL QB.
My first impression is that TP will come up short in this most crucial area.
But I haven’t written him off yet. We simply don’t have the body of evidence to do so.
We saw quite a few check downs and dump offs against Dallas, but those aren’t going to tell us what we need to know.
There was one pretty decent toss for the 3rd and long conversion against Dallas. Not too bad.
Against Zona, there was only one throw germaine to this conversation. The go route to Criner in the right side of the EZ.
TP drops and sets nicely. He recognizes single coverage. Pulls the trigger a little too late. Probably puts too much air under the ball. Ball placement or accuracy is not good. Criner does not have good separation. The best place to chuck it is towards the right corner, where Criner has the best shot at making the grab. Instead the toss is slightly more towards the middle of the field.
Besides that one play, we don’t really have anything else to take from the AZ game that helps in evaluating TP’s accuracy.
Will be watching closely to see if TP gets a chance to make some meaningful throws against Detroit.

You can’t bet on who’s winning an Oscar or who’s going to win on American Idol, or who’s going to be kicked off the island last.
You want to bet on that stuff ? Better try an off-shore book, cuz it ain’t happening in Nevada.
As far as making a bet on the Prez election…I’d recommend loading up on Mitt right now. The +1.75 is mighty sweet. That figures to drop substantially as we get closer to vote day and things tighten up – as they almost invariably do when the economy is in the shtter.
So you take Romney now at +1.75, and hedge it with a B.O. bet at shorter odds, later. Or, if you’re absolutely certain B.O. wins, just wait for a better price.
August 23rd, 2012 at 6:27 pm
Just watched Hard Knocks. Philbin’s going to be a hot mess as head coach. I loved when Tannehill came in for the “You’re our starting QB” meeting, and Philbin immediately started whining about the dude’s shoelaces.
There’s managing, and then there’s micromanaging.

I really don’t care who wins both parties have screwed us over these last 80 years and put us in enormous amount of debt, allowed for bloated government and took away our civil liberties along the way.

I said “Vegas Odds” as a term that is used often to describe such things. I am sure I could find someone in Vegas to give me odds on the election whether or not its completely legal might be in question.
Like I said in my earlier post why go to Vegas when you can bet online.
August 23rd, 2012 at 6:32 pm
Dilfer is cracking me up right now.
Did he just tout the Cards D because they only gave up 4 passing TD’s in their division.
So in 6 games against Alex Smith, Tavaris Jackson, Sam Bradford and Charlie Whitehurst, they gave up 4 TD’s?
That actually kind of sucks!!!

============================================
Things We Learned From This Week’s “Hard Knocks”:
– Joe Philbin redefines “an@l.”
– John Jerry was terrible, but got better.
– Jeff Long has a really nice house and a wife about 1/3 his total size.
– That Hogan guy is their version of Streater.
– Egnew could well be available if Reggie wants him.

The easiest thing for a Republican partisan to say, especially after the World Trade Centers come down, and after a iligetimate war they started, is to say both parties are the same.

All right, well I am placing “Vegas Odds” on you screwing up your FF draft this weekend, lol.
August 23rd, 2012 at 6:34 pm
I SMH at both parties too.
Anyone who signs up to be a senator/congressman should absolve their material wealth and donate it to the national debt. Then agree to a modest executive salary, and most important be required to abide by the same rules and benefits that the rest of us have to deal with. No lifetime pension and lifetime free healthcare. These guys some of them are worth over $100 million. It’s sick. What is there motivation to look out for the common man squeezing his family’s budget trying to somehow provide for their needs.
Congress is so out of touch.

You see Duck gets it….you vote for a guy no matter what party, he makes promises (maybe his intentions are good) But he gets into Washington and government is so big and screwed up he cant do anything about it and cant keep his campaign promise. Or they were just lying to us to get into office in the first place.

Why screw with it?
August 23rd, 2012 at 7:00 pm
We were 24th in the league in red zone efficiency last season.
We were using Cooper Carlisle, Satele, and Reece at FB in a power-scheme? LMAO, no wonder we were in the bottom third of the NFL.

You want to whine about ‘illegitimate’ wars and associate them with Republicans ?
OK. I’ll respond by asking you which Party should be associated with Viet Nam ?
I’m not going to debate what constitutes an ‘illegitimate’ war. That’s pointless. I could go on and on about the necessity of smashing Islamo-fascism, but this isn’t the time or place for that.
I won’t even debate the ‘who started it’ angle.
All that concerns me once embroiled in conflict or war, is winning swiftly and decisively at minimum expense to OUR side. I do not wish to see any side suffer unnecessarily, but if I have to choose, I’d rather see a million of the enemy die than have one of our guys break a fingernail.
But that’s just me.
Now I must go eat my lavish buffet. They shoot you in Afghanistan for even THINKING about eating so well.
G-D BLESS THE USA.
August 23rd, 2012 at 7:03 pm
sure Hue was partly responsible for the offensive success from last yr. But he brought more bad than good and had to be ousted as his ego was getting in the way of starting over. Even if we take a step back on offense, it’s a step forward for the team.
Not messing with what wasn’t broken was not an option. It had to be done. Like cutting off a limb with gangrene to survive.
August 23rd, 2012 at 7:04 pm
I have heard all this talk about being multiple on defense, why not the same on offense? Im not against the ZBS, but I would like to see a hybrid O-Line scheme. Like when we are on the one I want to see a jumbo package with straight power.
August 23rd, 2012 at 7:04 pm
2010, we scored TD’s on 58% of our red zone drives.
2011, 51%.
Hue sucked.
August 23rd, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Last seasons top 5 red zone offenses for TD %
Saints, Packers, Pats, Panthers, Broncos
So you either need a FB at QB, or to pass the ball to score in the red zone in today’s NFL.
August 23rd, 2012 at 7:08 pm
2011 Raiders, Red zone TD scoring % at home, 42%
3rd worst in the NFL.

Then……he comes out of the tunnel and throws a pick 6 on the first play.

hmmmmm……well Armstrong’s case was never adjudicated in a court of law in the US, apparently, since res judicata doctrine would apply, both claim and issue preclusion.
If Armstrong had been tried and found innocent in a civil suit the USADA could not bring charges against him.
Surely, with his money he could hire an army of attorney’s and defeat the USADA. The case against Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens did work out too well for the government. The USADA has no civil or criminal jurisdiction against Armstrong.

This is very difficult to figure out right now. Luck is the real deal. He has been “the guy so long”, the superlatives about is intelligence and pro readiness became tiresome to me. But I saw the highlights of his 1st game and the whole Pitt game, and I see what they were all talking about now. He already looks like a veteran. But I also saw what Phil Simms was talking about when he said he didn’t see the rocket arm. There’s good velocity on some throws, but I don’t see that gun a lot of the top guys have. I like Griffin a lot. The guy can flat-out throw the rock and his running ability will cause nightmares for dudes in Shanny’s O. Lots of comparisons to Mike Vick, but I don’t see that level of athleticism and toughness. In college, you could affect his game with big hits (see K-State). I generally go for upside and measurables over pro readiness, but I think these guys are closer in the former than most would like to believe. Gun to my head, I go for Luck.

This Saturday game should be very interesting from a passing standpoint. I expect to see Ausberry @ TE, Streater & Criner @ WR. all three are second stringers on paper but after this game any or all could be elevated to starter if they have a good game and the normal 1’s are still injured. It is likely the both Moore & Ford will still be injured. DHB may still be rehabbing too. The same will likely hold true for Myers & Gorden. Given those injuries, we may surprised to see how really good our 2’s & 3’s receivers are. CP3 may just end up having a field day.

Thank you JB. Both are all around number ones. One has led the NFL in Touchdowns and completions percentage. One is scrounging the back alleys of Mobile for some scag. Last season, In a game that the team had to win, one threw for over 80% completions 2 TD’s and over 10 yards per attempt. Last year, One got ripped off trying to score some more scag. One is worth tens of millions. One is about to be broke. Hard to equate the two.

I can explain that two ways. lst, it’s the preseason. No one cares. 2ndly, if you add two drops by Ford, a pass that goes right thru DHB’s hands in the endzone, and another that actually was ruled a TD and then overturned, Palmer would have a rating of 10000. That’s how.

21. Carson Palmer, Oakland Raiders
Analysis: Palmer got so sick of the Bengals that he left football for part of last season. The trade to the Raiders gives him a chance to show whether he still has his elite skills, but he has to cut down on interceptions. Give Palmer man coverage, and he’ll gamble deep.

I’ve always liked HP; probably because I’m still using a 2003 HP Compaq presario with no issues. With the emphasis on tablets,netbooks, ultras etc. the best buys seem to be the bigger 15.4″ or 17.1″ laptops. See those from acer, toshiba, HP, etc. at the big box stores(best buy,etc) for $300 acceptable to less than $500 more than acceptable all the time, usually with windows home premium installed. That’s the direction I,m leaning. I don’t mind a big laptop, prefer it actually but I don’t lug it around all that much. You gotta know what’s important to you and obviously the more you spend…
August 24th, 2012 at 12:30 am
I think Reggie Mac may be having a hard time getting some quality FAs even with the 7 million in cap space. Apparently our cap situation for next year is way over.
I guess the problem is that even with the 7 million, he can only offer 1 year contracts right now and maybe these vets like Benson want more.
I wouldn’t mind a stop-gap veteren LB or RB on a one year contract just to make sure we’re covered if DMAC gets hurt and ROMAC does time/suspension. But it may be hard to wrap up these dudes for just one year.
I have a sneaking suspicion that this may be the last year for some inflated contracts like Seymore.
Reggie still has to clean up the bloated contract situations on some of these players because we hit a wall next season.
Who knows maybe we can restructure cut some of these dudes for next year or will Reggie have to wait unitl 2014?
One thing is hopeful…At least we’ll start getting out draft picks back after the excesses of the previous Coach and previous owner

While I’ll admit to being a Jamarcus apologists during his tenure here (horrible WRs, horrible OLine, 3 coaches, dysfunctional franchise)…. I did not want to draft him.
My 1st rd picks over the years were…
98 – Woodson & Moss (coulda had Hines Ward also)
99 – Peerless Price
00 – Seabass/Pennington (
01 – Drew Brees (extremely deep draft, we were one of the very few teams that missed)
02 – Phil Bucanon (damn we shoulda got Ed Reed!)
03 – Anquan Boldin (we coulda had Usi Umenyora!)
04 – Eli or Larry Fitzgerald (we missed badly considering the other picks here)
05 – Jason Campbell (oh do I regret this, we could have had Aaron Rogers!)
06 – Matt Leinart (we missed Nick Mangold, Devin Hester, MJD, Brandon Marshall, Dumervill, Colston) OUCH We could have had all those guys!
07 – Adrian Peterson
08 – Chris Long or Glenn Dorsey (boy was I wrong here)
09 – Brian Orakpo (we could have easily had Clay Matthews and later got Mike Wallace)
10 – Suh (I wanted us to trade up desperately)
11 – Wiz 2.0
12 – O-Line help
Over the history of the Raiders, we never traditionally were a good team at drafting early. We usually lost our early picks because Al was the master at signing away restricted free agents and paying his guys what they deserved. He was the perfect owner for the pre-free agency era.

Riff,
Your post in the prev thread about socialism and capitalism is money, and that’s why I prefer capitalism. If it wasn’t for capitalism, I can’t afford a new car without using credit, can’t afford private schools, etc…
—————–
In socialist states in Europe, the parents send their kids to school to actually LEARN and not use it as a day-care like we do in America. Thus the teachers are able to actually teach instead of running an asylum.
No need for private schools in socialists states where the citizens are responsible citizens.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well, I’m in Europe and I’m hard put to think of any socialist states where there are no private schools.
You are wrong on that one.
In fact I’m pressed to think of any “socialist” states other than the despotic Belarus.
You’re wrong on that one.
Social Democratic states yes, socialist states, no.
Also, your statement below defies belief:
“No need for private schools in socialists states where the citizens are responsible citizens.”
So a socialist state has all obedient citizens while capitalistic states like the USA, Canada, Australia, western Europe, India, etc. have irresponsible citizens?
Yes, they certainly toe the line in Belarus just as they do in Russia, the old Soviet Union, and non-European socialistic countries like China, and North Korea.
And you LIKE that?
God bless the free market system and capitalism and screw socialism!

Pryor spends most of his time at the hip of veteran Carson Palmer, soaking up knowledge, learning the nuances of the position and waiting his turn.
It’s not uncommon to see Pryor sticking around after practice to work with Palmer, and he’s never far from Palmer or Matt Leinart off the field, either.
Coach Dennis Allen and offensive coordinator Greg Knapp rave about Pryor’s work ethic, demeanor and skill set.
Palmer speaks highly of Pryor, citing his athletic skills, work ethic and mind-set.

Pryor = Raiders future franchise QB!
August 24th, 2012 at 4:21 am
Tight ends Richard Gordon (ribs) and Tory Humphrey (hamstring) were among those who missed practice. Allen said both will be game-time decisions Saturday night.

August 24th, 2012 at 4:24 am
Not that I’m looking past this year, but here’s what I see down the road:
1. Reggie will finally get a crack at a full draft next year; it wouldn’t surprise me a bit to see him trade down and potentially pick up a few extras
2. Reggie will have a chance to evaluate the upside trade value of a few vets and perhaps deal them for draft picks – for a change, we will be on the opposite side of the fence — stockpiling picks, as opposed to throwing them away
3. I see a young QB in next year’s draft; Pryor may continue to develop, but the window for Carson is shrinking
4. TE is a position of need. There are a couple in next year’s draft that I will be keeping my eye on this year during the college football season. If Nelson Rosario, the rookie from UCLA, gets cut by the Panthers, I’d like to see Reggie bring him in for a look very soon
5. It may be a bit of a rocky season this year, but we could still eke out a division title; either way, the new era will have the haters changing their tune a little by year’s end
That’s what I think …
August 24th, 2012 at 4:25 am

August 24th, 2012 at 6:20 am
Ced Benson looking good in GB, I never pushed for him as I felt he was done and Goodson had more potential so I’m not gonna blame Reggie for not offering more money to him, but it sure looks like he could have solved our back-up RB issue.
I’m sure Kahlil Bell has been mentioned, decent back-up who can start for a while and produce, the Bears would not pay him the 1.26 million he was slated to earn and with 7 million we can afford to sign him for more tha the 700 K Chicago offered him, one thing to note on Bell: 3 fumbles in 79 carries last year, so ball-security would remain a concern as with Goodson, maybe Reggie prefers the guy he traded for.

I’m not sure Kahlil Bell is worth what he thinks he’s worth, but I’m pretty sure Mike Goodson isn’t the answer at backup RB. Reggie will be shaking the bushes some looking for depth at RB and LB, and he should be keeping an eye on available TE’s too.

A few preseason carries aren’t the accurate story of Cedric Benson. He will wear down over a game and still net you 20 carries for 60 yards. It all evens out in the end.

Agreed, Chris Ivory or Travaris Cadet, the guy pushing him in NO would be solid pick-ups.
I mentioned Miami’s Steve Slaton the other day, he would also be a guy worth a shot, kid ran for 1200 yards in Houston’s ZBS as a rookie and is supposedly doing well in camp so he might make the team, I would offer a conditional 7th (provided he makes our team) for him, see what Miami has to say.

August 24th, 2012 at 6:42 am
And as far as Benson is concerned, I don’t think he’ll wear down as GB wont’ give him 300 plus carries like Cincy, my main concern is that he’s a moody guy and the set-up in GB has clearly made him a happy camper, not sure he’d love playing second fiddle to McFadden here.
August 24th, 2012 at 6:43 am
Cooper Carlisle experiment at LG is a bad idea. He’s on his last legs and swiching positions. We need to take our lumps with Bergstrom because Cooper is a trainwreck waiting to happen.

True, Benson does seem to be a tad too moody, wouldn’t want him to end up a locker-room cancer.
August 24th, 2012 at 6:46 am
I agree about Ced Benson being moody. It’s his volatile nature and he’s got an opinion of his abilities that is out of touch with reality. I also agree that he’s nothing more than a change of pace back that will be part of a committee and get maybe ten to fifteen carries a game. Which will in turn just piss him off more. Good luck to GB handling that drama queen Benson.

Anyway, if Reggie goes after a RB, he has some nice advantages to try and lure him here over some other team.
First, there’s money, we have the room to make a quality offer.
Second, a great chance to earn the # 2 job and at least get back-up carries with a healthy McFadden around, plus a shot to take over as the main man if he goes down.
Bottom line, we offer the best combination of a good deal and playing time out there.

That is very true, I think Reg is just waiting for the game tomorrow to see how Goodson plays, if he stinks he may be cut on Monday..
August 24th, 2012 at 6:52 am
The Oakland RB situation is an attractive one, I agree. Look how M. Bush parlayed DMC’s fragility into $14 million. There are a ton of running backs who would love to have a shot at that kind of money. But only so many potentially open jobs that could bring that opportunity. DMAC has not proven himself to stay healthy, so that is a huge selling point for a FA RB to sign with Oakland.
August 24th, 2012 at 6:53 am
Somebody already mentioned that William Powell kid from AZ, he sure looked good last night, like a young Ray Rice, even vs back-ups, if you are talented you should dominate lower levels of competition and Powell has been doing it, he’s now the pre-season’s leading rusher, I doubt he’ll get cut but you never know.
August 24th, 2012 at 6:55 am

AZ is pretty dumb though, they did throw everything at Kolb, I sure hope they cut Powell.lol

And he looked even better last night, making people miss in the open field and breaking takles all over the place, AZ players love him…Fitz specially was cheering like a school girl every time he made a play, they’ll probably keep him.

August 24th, 2012 at 7:28 am
Kahlil Bell is NOT too bad a player. No fumbling issues…and good for 3.5- 4ypc.
I don’t care how slick Goodson is…fast, evasive, etc. those fumbles will absolutely kill a team.
I’d rather have a guy who just takes the ball and falls down right away.
August 24th, 2012 at 7:38 am
Fumbling is the cardinal sin for RB’s. It’s the quickest ticket out of the league. You can be a declining slug with a 3.5 ypc like Cedric Benson. But if you can protect the rock, you will still have a paycheck. But drop the ball and nobody will touch you on an NFL roster.
Goodson is standing on the ledge right now with his football career. If the Raiders cut him and the last impression was that last game, it may be the end of his short career as an NFL back.
August 24th, 2012 at 7:39 am
I bet if Reggie offers him a one yr. mill. dollar contract Khalil Bell will take it.
Qusetion is, is he worth that much?

Keep your eyes open for Stanley Havili – a 245 lb. bruiser out of USC, and now with the Eagles. He is listed at FB, and he was on the Eagles’ practice squad last year. They used him a little at both FB and TE — I really like him, and he just MAY be available in a few days .. just sayin’

I really don’t know man, I would hope DMC doesn’t play much, but he might go into the 3rd.
August 24th, 2012 at 8:35 am
Don’t see DMac playing at all in the second half. I think the teams will both play hard during the 1st half, then call off the dogs …

That’s what I think also, but would like DMC not to play at all. We need to see more Goodson/Jones, since they may be gone soon.

*****************************
Goodson stands a chance of being cut somewhere between zero and 1%.
He will be our special teams captain once the season starts.

August 24th, 2012 at 8:40 am

August 24th, 2012 at 8:48 am

Raider Riff – you know what you speak of, my man.
For those of you not in the know, pay attention to this man’s posts.
August 24th, 2012 at 8:56 am
Such a bore

Thanks Riff

puff puff pass to Raidertbone
August 24th, 2012 at 9:02 am
Fantasy Land vs the Chargers:
Wouldn’t it be nice if:
Marcell could catch 2 screen passes out of the backfield and rack up about 30-40 yards;
then, they put him in on their goal line package 5 times and he comes away with 5 short TD runs;
He would blow away all the fantasy numbers and yet not a single person would have him on their Fantasy team
Raiders win by 35 points and f everyone!

I’m gonna wait to see what he does the 1st 2 games before I pick him up in Free Agency…same with Moore, Streater, Criner and DHB!
August 24th, 2012 at 10:23 am
I have DHB in my league — he’s the only Raider I got. I might add Streater later, depending on what happens between now and Week 1.

Someone who’s been paying more attention this off-season than I, please tell me what could possibly be wrong with Curry’s “knees,” the plural.
The only thing that usually flares up in both knees at the same time…arthritis.
What’s the deal?
August 24th, 2012 at 11:14 am
Whut up my beyotches!
August 24th, 2012 at 11:20 am
It’s not as if the D has to have Curry.
++++++++++++++++++++
“– Linebacker Aaron Curry hasn’t practiced in more than two months, and he remains in the physically unable to perform list as a result of sore knees. Even so, Allen isn’t counting out Curry for the regular-season opener.
“No, not to that point,” Allen said, when asked if Curry has missed too much time to be counted upon for the opener. “Now what role he plays, we’ll see. I’m not going to make any decision on him as far as ruling him out or not, at least until we get into game week.”
It’s important to note that Curry still won’t be able to practice at full capacity until three days after he is activated because of the acclimation period set forth in the new collective bargaining agreement.
Therefore, he’s looking at one week’s worth of practice, at best, to prepare for the Chargers game.
The other option for the Raiders is to leave Curry on the P.U.P. list, which would force Curry to miss at least the first six regular-season games. The deadline to make that decision is fast approaching.”

nice, coach!
JFB will be pleased that this old dog has more uses than protecting our offense (Palmer/McFadden)

To be fair, Steve just kinda threw some guy’s names out there. DA didn’t mention names.

Here’s a headline from my local fishwrap “Campbell TD pass caps second-half rally and leads Bears over Giants 20-17″ Instead, Spuds let him go to Chicago. In favor, for that Loser Palmer! Get rid of Palmer and Leinart! Or the team will suffer and 2-14 season?
