Wiz out for final game, Moore ‘closer’ to returning
By Steve Corkran
Sunday, August 26th, 2012 at 4:23 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Sunday afternoon that he is inclined to play anyone that is healthy in his team’s exhibition finale against the Seattle Seahawks, a break from the norm in the NFL, when teams typically rest their projected starters.
Even so, you won’t see starting center Stefen Wisniewski play against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. Allen said as much Sunday.
It’s possible that wide receiver Denarius Moore’s hamstring injury will be healthy enough for him to play in that game. If not, Allen said he is confident that Moore will be ready to play in the regular-season opener Sept. 10.
Those are just a few of the nuggets gleaned from a 15-plus minute conference call with coach Allen on Sunday. Here’s a sampling of Allen’s thoughts on his players and their progress:
– Kicker Sebastian Janikowski’s groin injury isn’t “a big deal,” Allen said. That’s the hope, at least.
Allen said Janikowski suffered “basically a sore groin” while attempting to run down Justin Miller on a kick return Saturday. Heck, there’s even a chance of Janikowski playing against the Seahawks.
The smart money says, Allen holds out Janikowski, lets Eddy Carmona handle the kicking duties and gives Janikowski as much time as possible to heal in time for the opener.
– Wide receiver Jacoby Ford (left foot) now is able to walk around pain-free without the protective boot that he has sported since he got injured against the Cardinals.
“So, we’re making some progress there,” Allen said.
Ford still is using the boot from time to time, though. It’s doubtful that Ford will heal in time for the Seahawks game. The bigger question is, will he be recovered in time for the regular-season opener.
– Allen said defensive tackle Richard Seymour has what amounts to arthritis in one of his knees, which makes it imperative that the Raiders take it easy on their defensive leader.
“it’s more of a maintenance deal with Richard,” Allen said. “He’s got some arthritis, basically, in his knee. So, he gets a little pain, a little swelling, we got to be able to manage that.”
Seymour has missed every practice since he played against the Arizona Cardinals on Aug. 17. He also sat out the Lions game.
Seymour didn’t seem too concerned about the situation when asked about it Thursday. These veterans have a way of knowing when to crank it up. This is not the time.
– Already, names of players being cut by the Raiders in advance of the first mandatory cutdown are surfing on Twitter.
Safety Aaron Henry Tweeted that he has been informed of his release. Fellow safety Chaz Powell also was released, according to league insider Aaron Wilson.
The Raiders, as well as other teams, are required to be at no more than 75 players by Monday afternoon. I am told that the Raiders expect to issue a press release with the first round of player cuts later this afternoon.
– Cornerbacks DeMarcus Van Dyke and Chimdi Chekwa shouldn’t feel too secure about making the 53-man roster this season. Certainly not on the heels of Allen’s most-recent assessment about their play Saturday night.
“They were young corners,” Allen said in repsonse to what he saw. “We got to continue to work to get better with those guys. They do some good things and then all of a sudden you look up and say, ‘Why did they do that?’ I’m not totally down on them, but we got to get better there. We got to keep improving.”
Van Dyke and Chekwa were being groomed as the heir apparents to Stanford Routt and Chris Johnson last season. Now, they are being pushed by Allen just to show marked improvement.
– Once again, Allen kept in check his praise of second-year quarterback Terrelle Pryor, instead leaving it to fans and others to gush without taking into account the big picture.
Then again, that’s standard practice for a savvy coach that is hesitant to build up a player too soon for fear of that player feeling as if he has arrived.
“He did good,” Allen said after watching tape of the game and getting a better feel for Pryor’s play against the Lions. “Obviously, he had his good plays and he had his bad plays, but the thing that I was impressed with and the thing that I took out of the game is there was progress. There was progress on his part.”
Allen raved about Pryor’s improvement in calling out the plays in a prompt manner, controlling the huddle and the way he executed plays.
– Of the four pre-snap penalties committed by the Raiders in the first quarter Saturday, don’t blame the refs, Allen said.
“Every single one of them was a legitimate call,” Allen said. “Every single one of them was inexcusable on our part, and we can’t have those. We can’t have the pre-snap penalties, especially the two where we lined up offsides on defense. We can’t do that. That’s a lack of focus, that’s a lack of discipline. Those issues will be addressed and, as players, we’ve got to get it corrected.”
– Worried about the Raiders special teams play so far? Well, so is Allen. With that said, Allen doesn’t sound as concerned as many others.
“It’s obviously a concern,” Allen said. “We’ve got to be better in that area. Part of it is the fact that we’ve had a lot of different people playing a lot of different positions in the return game. We’ve had different returners back there returning. We haven’t had a lot of continuity as far as who those guys have been but, at the same time, we’ve got to execute better.
“A lot of times it’s one or two guys that keep you from having a good play, and you’re tackled inside your 15-yard line as opposed to, if you get your one block, maybe it’s a big return or if the returner reads it right maybe it’s a big return. We’re closer than what the stats say, but we’ve got to be better in that regard.”
Punter Shane Lechler said last week that special teams is something that takes time to work out for the very reasons Allen pointed out.
“Special teams is tough during the preseason,” Lechler said. “You’re sitting in a room with a whole bunch of guys that aren’t going to be there. It’s a grind. It’s just part of the process.”
In other words, give it time, folks, before calling for radical changes and coaching moves.

Lefty, Myers struggles with separating from coverage arent even debatable, they have been mentioned by NFL coaches and scouts. he simply lacks the athleticism to consistently separate.
If he didn’t struggle with this he’d be a legit TE putting up 50 catches per season like every other legit tight end

If we don’t make the playoffs this year it will be for the same reasons as last year: no quality corner backs, lack of depth at LB, and an injured running back

August 26th, 2012 at 4:46 pm
Myers gets open.He doesn’t get great separation,but he gets open enough to get the pass there.He won’t get a lot of yards after the catch because he lacks the speed,but when you need a pass across the middle,he’ll get you the 1st down.My opinion.If you don’t agree,fine,I don’t care.

That was from Jerry so I assume he said it.I also assume it means they really like Parsons.

Wisniewski back at left guard, I posted/proposed that here, on s&bp, and live chat with Guitierez (yesterday) a couple days ago.
Parsons has played well, Wisniewski one of the best guards; all-rookie
Makes sense

August 26th, 2012 at 5:15 pm
Colin Miller has been okay with 2nd and 3rd teams, could make 53 man roster based on need, expect him to be on practice squad, will definately survive first cuts as we will need him for Seattle game, one more chance to prove he deserves to make the final roster.
I never have a problem with team having 10 OLinemen on the final roster.
August 26th, 2012 at 5:17 pm
From profootballfocus.com “While replacement center Alex Parsons didn’t cover himself in glory on the Lions’ goal line, he wasn’t the biggest issue. Indeed, the problem here seemed to be that someone replaced Mike Brisiel’s cleets with skates, so often was he sliding backwards to his quarterback.”
August 26th, 2012 at 5:20 pm
So they basically said everything on nfln that I have been saying about Palmer, only I don’t think it’s a slam dunk that he shakes is problems, in fact I think it’s down right dicey.
August 26th, 2012 at 5:21 pm
Alex Parsons is cool on the twitter. He seems like a funny and cool guy. Klas would hang with him.

Hope everyone takes a look at cam newton tonight, this the future of the nfl qb. Pay particular attention to how they run this offense. Even in vanilla form I can see where it utilizes cam unique talent to cause nightmares for the defense. When added to their two headed monster at rb speed on the outside & solid te play, they are one of the best offenses in football.
I WOUKD LOVE TO SEE PRYOR IN THIS KIND OF ATTACK!!!
It’s the kind of offense only certain guys can run, & we have one on our team

So the highest paid O-lineman is the weak link? I actually agree with this and saw the same thing not just on the goaline play, but on other running plays aswell, he seems to get pushed around alot, maybe thats why they call him a ZBS specialist. lol

What the heck happened to Wiz? All the reports just say an injured calf. Was it bruised? You wouldn’t think it would take this long to heal. Was he run over by a friggin truck? It’s looking more and more like he won’t be ready for the season opener.
August 26th, 2012 at 5:34 pm

August 26th, 2012 at 5:35 pm
Im going to watch Brisiel close tonight on the replay, if he’s not getting the job done put Coop back at RG and Wiz at LG with Parsons at center

Thanks guys.

I for one can tell what the hell Mistic1 is talking about, when he says things like Carolina and this special made O for kam. He runs when he can’t find an open w.r. What’s so special about that? I don’t think it’s wrong but I also don’t think it’s specially made O for kam.

That’s the same problem with Carlisle. These ZBS linemen are smaller & lighter than the normal jumbo sized power blocking linemen. The ZBS linemen get pushed around more easily by the larger D linemen. They are not the best solution, IMO, for pass blocking.

Pep,
This is the vanilla version, but you will notice that this offend incorporates option principals & marries it with deep passing. In the regular season you will also see plenty of 3-4 wr sets & motions.
Make no mistake only a handful of qb could ever dream of running this offense.
August 26th, 2012 at 5:50 pm
From the sound of it maybe Brisiel is not a lock, Knapp may want him, however with roster cuts/trades, Reggie has the final say.
Teams are always looking for veteran linemen.

Hoffman has good credentials ad a rack record. Let him lock in on and coach the players who will end up as ST’ers. Right now there’s a bunch of guys who won’t even be on the team in a day or two. I guess I’m saying let’s not overact based on preseason results.
August 26th, 2012 at 5:53 pm
Point taken Mistic, I’ll keep my eye out on them. I still think that T.P. needs more time.
August 26th, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Brisel isn’t going anywhere. He was their BIG FA pick-up. I don’t see Reggie making the sole decision on who stays & who goes. That’s something that Reggie, DA and the respective coordinator will decide on.

Happy Birthday, Mr. J. Condo from all of Raider Nation (including Bo S.)!
August 26th, 2012 at 5:57 pm
Brisel’s shortcomings in last nights game may have been due to Parson’s play. O-linemen work as a unit. They are only as good as the guy next to them.
August 26th, 2012 at 5:58 pm

I’m a lil concerned with Dwow coming in and starting for us having missed all of camp and preseason. Will he and palmer be on the same page? If we were still running last seasons O I wouldn’t feel so bad but this is a whole new O and palmer has had zero reps with Moore this camp and preseason. Am I the only one who feels this way?

Seems legit to me..I like dmoore tho so we shall see

Nobody’s saying Reg is a ‘total failure’ (at least i’m not) becuz it appears Carolina got the best of that trade.

Murphy was traded for a conditional draft choice, the better and more often he plays the better for the Raiders.
Goodson was traded for B. Campbell straight across.

Hey, if we get a stud contributor for that 7th rd. pick we got for Murphy then Reg looks real good for this one.
MOST OFTEN 7th rounders rarely contribute to a team in any meaningful way.
Murphy right now IS contributing for Carolina.
That’s all. No huge deal. It is what it is.

Could be a sixth for Murphy.
One major advantage is that the trade cleared room for Streater and Criner to shine this preseason; Murphy might have kept reps away from one or both; which means a high probability we would’ve cut Streater without ever knowing how great he could be.

————————–
Streater still would’ve made the roster, regardless. Raiders would’ve kept 6 WRs if not for the LM trade: DHB, Moore, Ford, Murphy, Streater and Criner. Even before Murphy was trade there was a lot of talk regarding Streater’s emergence.
Also, the way I understand it is the Murphy trade is only conditional in this way: if he makes the Panthers’ opening-day roster we get a 7th rounder. If he doesn’t we get nothing. I don’t believe there’s any clause to bump that to a higher pick.
I don’t think the trade makes much sense for the Raiders, though LM may be better off for it. But with Ford and Moore’s nagging injuries and injury histories I think we could use a guy like Louis Murphy on this team right now.
August 26th, 2012 at 8:17 pm
Ok 504. Thx for update

The Burger King has denied accusations from the Dairy Queen that he is the father of her child. He claims she was drunk the night that the intamacy took place with Jack in the Box. Jack also denies the accusation from the Burger King saying it was Ronald Macdonald who was the man poking the Dairy Queen. Ronald Macdonald claims the Dairy Queen was drunk out of her mind and freely passed herself around to all the male party goers. Meanwhile, the Dairy Queen is adamant the Burger King is the father.

August 26th, 2012 at 8:55 pm
Watching the replay of the game now on NFLN. Miscellaneous thoughts:
- Tremendous downfield catch by DHB. That’s something we really haven’t seen much of from him so far. If he can do that kind of thing with some regularity he’s on the way to greatness.
- Taiwan Jones is a blur. 100x better than Mike Goodson. When Taiwan gets the ball it reminds me of when Barry Sanders used to get it. You just have the feeling that the guy can take it the distance on any given play from anywhere on the field if a small crease opens up. Obviously not equating TJ with BS, but there’s a shared element of unique gamebreaking ability there.
- Streater looks like our most polished receiver. Even more than Denarius. Truly amazing this kid was a UFA from a run-based offense. Looks like a 6-year veteran WR out there.
- That field is a disgrace.
- Timing between the WRs and Carson still looks off. This offense needs some polish before opening night.
- Lamar Houston looks much improved to me. I always thought he was a good, solid player but not what you’d call an impact player. This year I think he has a chance to be a bigtime impact player.

-We have a WR problem…too many good ones
-Palmer looks great WHEN HE HAS TIME.
-Defense can be top 5
I say we finally give Ryan Grant a call

That’s 6 for 15 for 60 yards or 4 yards per attempt. Makes Palmers 5.7 yards per attempt seem downright gaudy.

O-Line is one of the hardest positions to transition into. it takes a season or two coming out of college for these young players to get acclimated. Stupid penalties cost us games last year. Parsons has not caused one penalty yet. He is solid. from what I am seeing, we can not score when we need to. can not get a first down in crunch situations. That has to due with the center and two guards. As well as play calling, and full back blocking, quarterback reads, etc.Briesels and Carlisle have been doing this a while, Parsons has only been here for two years ( second season from practice squad). Yes, he was getting mauled in short situations but our offensive weapons, as well as plays, were basic vanilla plays due to preseason.. Parsons knows how to hold down the center and guard position and has proven he can handle N. Suh, which is no small feet. he is a good solid linemen. And one I might add that does not get penalties, unlike Satele (why we let him go) or Briesel, Carlisle, etc. Parsons should at least make a good push for Center if not right guard with wiz at center. Think about it, has he caused any penalties? He is solid.Not flashy, not a showy guy, just a hard working focused linemen. You can do a lot with that.

Just finished watching the game. Two quick comments then I’ve got to dash.
1. If not for his draft status, DVD would be an EASY cut. Even with the reported great camp, draft status and depth concerns at corner – he’ll be fortunate to survive. Absolutely atrocious tackling, lost in coverage, and just too damned light.
2. Very poor interception by TIM Palmer on the screen, but those that are worried about Palmer should be more alarmed by the pass immediately preceding the interception. That throw not only came up short and off target, but did not have great velocity at all. Not good.

Can’t really find the game stats anywhere but man did we stop the Lions running game from going anywhere I think we outgained them 220 to 40 on the ground ..
August 26th, 2012 at 11:46 pm
I like what our D Is doing in this Pre-season , not allowing any yards on the ground and not allowing any long TD’s in the air… That’s just what the doctor ordered … N offense also outgained the other team for 3rd game in a row so we’ll be fine .. Palmer won’t throw boneheaded picks in Reg season
August 26th, 2012 at 11:50 pm
i don’t think anyone drafted before this year or not brought in by this regime is a sacred cow. dvd supposedly looked good in camp, but he has been less than good in the games. it wouldn’t surprise me to see any of these guys go if DA and reggie don’t feel they will help now or develop:
barksdale
ausberry
ford
mcclain
dvd
chekwa
these guys either have to show they can help at positions that have been called out by the regime, or go by-by.
August 26th, 2012 at 11:51 pm
the positions that have been continually talked about as needing an upgrade are:
TE
CB
read between the lines. and remember: there are ALWAYS surprises in the final cut.

Parsons has been doing a pretty good job.
With his size he probably wouldn’t be doing as well except for Knapp’s ZBS system but he’s been more than adequate at center.
Wiz as left guard-which is his position-working with Veldheer was a big plus for us last year.

I just watched the game for the 3rd time.
Those of you here that are members of the “panic patrol” are in for a rude awakening when the season starts.
Palmer was money. And Houdini was nearly perfect. His mechanics, decision making, accuracy. People forget how many dropped passes there were. We are in VERY good shape in the QB department.
Speaking of Houdini… After that throw on the run where he hit Criner going across the middle…. watching him run down the sideline like a little kid celebrating. How can a person not root for him? He’s electric. He definitely has that Willie Beamen quality about him (minus the crappy attitude).
Im so jacked up about Sandy Eggo on Sept 10. If I was in the US I’d be on stub hub right now looking for tix.

You wont see me object to moving Wiz back to LG. He and Veldheer were money together.
It just sux that he’s missed so much time to get aquainted with the ZBS system. And it makes our G position VERY crowded with Bergstom, Carlisle and Wiz 2.0 all at that spot. RG is sort of a mess though so maybe we move someone over?
This O-Line stuff needs to be settled like yesterday. Tho, Im sure the Gut and the Visor have a plan. In the Hair, the Gut, and the Visor I trust.
We certainly have the oddest Owner/CEO/GM/Head Coach combo ever. And I like it that way.

Our defense choked away how many 4th quarter leads last year? And you dunces want to blame our personel and QB?
We finally have a modern D…
Which means less fatigue, less fatigue induced penalties, and NO MORE 4th QTR COLLAPSES!
Some people will do anything to ignore the obvious.
@Buffalo last year… on the defense.
Denver last year…. on the defense.

I think Pryor is a player in this league. Just not an NFL QB. Saturday’s game against the 3rd string Lions defense hasn’t swayed me a bit in that regard. He’d make an excellent receiver one day.

Carson Palmer 36-ints in 26-games. YEAH… Im concerned and every Raider fan should be. Its hard to look at th glass half-full, between CP and a (OC) Knapp, who has not had much success in the NFL.

The old man told them it was alright and it looked like he was telling teh Detroit fan that it wasn’t him who did it. The Detroit fan rose his hand up aagin, the 4 guys grabbed him and security came down and walked the Detroit fan out.
To me, that was like … Really dude? That guy you were gonna try to hit looked really old…
August 27th, 2012 at 6:02 am
After watching Cam Newton last night, I would not want him leading my team. The guy took a snap, fell down untouched, coughed up the football and gave up on the play like it was over. He was oblivious to what was happening, although it was a fumble and the defense was diving for the ball. C’mon mayne!

I think Pryor is a player in this league. Just not an NFL QB. Saturday’s game against the 3rd string Lions defense hasn’t swayed me a bit in that regard. He’d make an excellent receiver one day.
——–
After watching each of the previous two games twice and now the Lions game for the 3rd time just now, Im no longer of the camp that wants to move Houdini to TE.
The jump in improvements was so drastic for that Lions game Im now a full believer that he can play QB.
His footwork, his mechanics, his accuracy, and his decision making were all WORLDS better. He looked like a QB. The only drives that didnt result in scores had dropped passes by money throws to Criner and Owen Schmidt.
If he keeps his trajectory, Houdini will be a QB in this league for us.

Seat hopping is a Raider fan tradition. Its the preseason. Relax.
That number is funny. I used to text in all the time and report any opposing teams fans that were sitting within eyesight. I got a lot of Charger fans hassled for nothing. I couldnt stop laughing.
True, I don’t care if they do or not…but to tell me to calm down and then not pay attention to the game at all was disturbing. That kicker we have (can’t think of his name) after Seabass got hurt trying to run down Justin Miller kicked a 56 yarder. We all stood up high fiving and them 4 were just sitting there talking to each other. No clue of what was going on! In fact that whole drive was good…

Agreed. A person would have to be an absolute hater to not see that it was the defense that cost us the playoffs last year. Not Campbell, not CP3, not DMC’s injury.
It was the same in 2010. I just didnt bother to list those games.

I’m not down with people who can’t respect personal property like a baseball cap of the opposing team. Show some respect and dignity. People who do this aren’t acting the bully. Where’s the sport in that when you have a stadium full of Raider fans backing you. I’d like to see that same type of behavior out in a back alley one on one, mano a mano. Don’t start ish if the the playing ground isn’t fair. It’s all really immature stuff, and I’d be embarrased to be in the vicinity of it. I feel for the old man who did nothing wrong and had to be subject to the Detroit fan’s leer. SMH

My own older brother got kicked out of the Black Hole (section 105) by the other Raider fans the first game we had our season tickets.
He wasnt wearing all black head to toe. I warned him before we went to the game. He insisted on wearing his white Raiders jersey.
He was threatened with physical violence and I looked at him and said “I warned ya, get your a55 up to the souvenir stand and buy a black Raiders shirt”
I miss those people. Once we earned our keep we got to know everyone in there and they had our back for years. A really good time in our lives.

See, back in the old days when the Raiders team on the field were bullies and intimidators, Raider fans could sit back and enjoy watching opposing fans cringe when we hit them and knocked them out on the field. Sure there was trash talk back then, but when you KNOW your team is better and tougher, you had the luxury of quietly awaiting the next big hit and big play. Winning football was routine, and opposing fans really didn’t bring much noise.
August 27th, 2012 at 6:23 am
I remember this one guy wearing a Elway jersey talking smack while in line for the porta puddies. As soon as he got in, 6 guys tiped the porta puddie over. the guy rolled out covered with crap (if you can imagine). All 7 got kicked out of the parking lot then. Funny thing about that is that we weren’t even playing the Donkeys that day!
August 27th, 2012 at 6:24 am
The very first game we ever went too, was Chiefs vs Raiders on Monday Nite back in ‘96 or ‘97 on Monday Nite. Gannon was the QB of the Chiefs. Bugel was our coach.
We had seats on the second level just below the Luxury Boxes
There was a Chiefs fan sitting about 8 rows ahead of us.
The luxury box people above kept yelling down at him. “YOU LIKE RED AND YELLOW?”
And there was a steady stream of ketsup and mustard for most of the game raining down on the guy. They dropped so many hot dogs on him it was crazy. Even a few sodas to wash off the ketsup and mustard.
We were all teenagers at the time. My older bro wanted to get in on the action. So he went and bought the biggest soda available. Came back to our seats. Reared back and launched it at the dude.
And in true Seinfeld type fashion, it sailed right over the guys head and completely missed. He ended up hitting what looked like SeaBass from Dumb and Dumber. The dude stands up and turns around and yells “WHO IS THE DEAD MAN?!?!”
My older brother was scared as all heck. All the Raider fans in our section, every single one, simply pointed at the Chiefs fan and blamed him.
You know the rest.

We use to make bets on which loud mouthed opposing fan at Raider games would get ejected or his A$$ kicked… All the years I’ve been going to Raiders games I never saw anybody have a problem that didn’t ask for it….I was born in Richmond and been to lots of Raider games… Raiders fans are the best…tailgates are the best ….

Holy crap fellers……
After our FF draft yesterday, I had to drive to Las Cruces for work.
Well, I was diagnosed a diabetic a few months ago, and have been watching my diet since, but broke free yesterday on the drive and cheated.
Well, long story short, I was feeling like crap about halfway on the drive, and was looking for a place to pull over, but there wasn’t any rest stops and didn’t want to pull over on the shoulder, so I tried to plow on.
Only, I blacked-out for a second, doing 80 on a 2 lane highway, veered across traffic, missed going head-on with a tree by about 3 feet, and ended up about 30 feet off the road in a ditch.
Not religious at all, but man, someone was watching out for your buddy. Not only did I have nothing health wise wrong after about 20 minutes, I didn’t hit anybody else, just missed the tree, didn’t pop any tires, airbag didn’t employ, and after the tow truck pulled me out of the ditch, I was back on the road in two hours!!!!
I feel like a got a second chance at life.
Sorry to take this so serious this morning. How the hell is the Nation today, lol???!!!???

I remember another time before we had the season tickets and we used to scalp seats in any part of the stadium we could. It was a Sunday Nite game against the Jets.
We sat on the third level. Things were always the craziest up there. People doing lines of cocaine in the bathroom. Lots of joints being passed around. Crazy brawls in the stands.
I remember a dude admitting to being a 49er fan in the bathroom. There must have been a 100 people packed in this huge bathroom on the third deck. The guy would not shut up. You could hear him above everyone else.
Someone finally yelled for him to STFU. He didnt
So another dude yelled “Wheres your Raider gear dude?”
In a bathroom of 100 wear most people were in black jerseys and nobody wasnt wearing Raider attire, this guy really stood out even without all his banter.
After being pointed out for not wearing any gear, the bathroom got dead silent. It felt like a prison shanking was about to take place.
The guy responds by saying “hey bro’s, Im a 49er fan. Im just here representing the bay! We’re all on the same team bro’s”
Immediately after saying that, the guy was basically standing by himself. The entire crowd formed a circle around him and started shoving him. It was like monkey in the middle.
I was stoked because I now could go take a piss. Everyone was distracted. I just wanted to get out of there cause I thought for sure this guy was going to get stabbed.
That was in the 1st quarter.
I returned late in the 3rd. And the guy was still in there getting pushed around. For nearly 2 hours people kept going into the bathroom and joining in on the fracas, not even knowing how it started.
Definitely one of the crazier things I’d ever seen.
August 27th, 2012 at 6:36 am

Language doesnt bother me. It’s America. I respect the 1st amendment too much.
Last year I went to the Sandy Eggo game on Thursday nite.
During the National Anthem my buddy and I were having a conversation amongst ourselves. Not loud in the least bit. Hats at our hearts.
The Raider fans next to us were super pissed. The military douche comes over and threatens my buddy. Says, “I didnt go risk my life in Iraq so you could disgrace the national anthem by talking during it, have some respect before I kick your ass”
I couldnt help but start laughing out loud. The irony was incredible. He then turned his attention to me and wanted to go. His friends grabbed him and pulled him back before crap went down.
It’s so funny that he actually thought he was in Iraq to defend our freedoms, yet he was willing to throw down and do physical harm over us “civilians” exercising those freedoms.
It reminds me of all the dads out there who get pissed when you cuss in public in front of their kids. And then they want to fight you. As if getting in a fist fight in front of their kids is some sort of moral high ground compared to having a foul mouth. Neanderthal man at its finnest.

I won’t attempt to fight you in front of my kids for cussing, but will be annoyed to the point that I will consider leaving the venue if I can’t find a reasonable group of fans to sit around. See to me, the use of profanity is the sign of a limited mind. It speaks for what you don’t know and can’t comprehend. It does more talking for you than you can possibly understand. My children feel sorry for you more than anything if you are a cusser. I tell them to look at the pottymouth loudmouth’s kids for evidence of what that kind of role model will have on their kids. They understand what I mean.

Last year I went to the Sandy Eggo game on Thursday nite.
During the National Anthem my buddy and I were having a conversation amongst ourselves. Not loud in the least bit. Hats at our hearts.
The Raider fans next to us were super pissed. The military douche comes over and threatens my buddy. Says, “I didnt go risk my life in Iraq so you could disgrace the national anthem by talking during it, have some respect before I kick your ass”
I couldnt help but start laughing out loud. The irony was incredible. He then turned his attention to me and wanted to go. His friends grabbed him and pulled him back before crap went down.
It’s so funny that he actually thought he was in Iraq to defend our freedoms, yet he was willing to throw down and do physical harm over us “civilians” exercising those freedoms.
It reminds me of all the dads out there who get pissed when you cuss in public in front of their kids. And then they want to fight you. As if getting in a fist fight in front of their kids is some sort of moral high ground compared to having a foul mouth. Neanderthal man at its finnest.

No kidding right, since he served he has the right to be a tyrant at a game. Too funny!

I won’t attempt to fight you in front of my kids for cussing, but will be annoyed to the point that I will consider leaving the venue if I can’t find a reasonable group of fans to sit around. See to me, the use of profanity is the sign of a limited mind. It speaks for what you don’t know and can’t comprehend. It does more talking for you than you can possibly understand. My children feel sorry for you more than anything if you are a cusser. I tell them to look at the pottymouth loudmouth’s kids for evidence of what that kind of role model will have on their kids. They understand what I mean.

And that is the proper & dignified way to handle that situation.
If you dont like someones language, leave.
I respect you for that 123. It’s too bad that most people just look for it as an opportunity to throw down.
If Im watching a game at Hooters or some other sports bar, and someone has their kid in their on gameday, they need to check what environment they walked into. Thats the only places Ive really had issues with overzealous dads.

On NFL AM (nfln) one of the guys picked Raiders second in Afc West despite his gut telling him to pick Raiders…his only concern was Palmer…and to lesser degree DMAC staying healthy.
The Palmer int’s have not gone unnoticed by the media.
I’ve been defending Palmer all along, but he needs to not do that.
I hope it’s no big deal..chalk it up to preseason, but Palmer sure is getting alot of flack for his preseason int’s.

I always stand with my hand over my heart during National Anthem. I kinda look away when people don’t and do talk. I understand the freedom thing but being in the military myself (some 20+ years ago) it does kinda bug me…but like I said, every man, woman, and child has their own right! I just look away.
There are times I do catch myself firing off a cuss word or two in the passion for the game. But I do quickly apologize, especially when they are kids there. I am not an a**hole especially now that I am older, but it slips and I do admit it is bad! That is why I quickly turn to them and apologize!

I won’t argue that it’s silly. Maybe overboard. But how long does the anthem last? 3 minutes? Out of a 4 hour experience of attending a game, it’s not a big deal. I can see it both ways though.
August 27th, 2012 at 7:02 am
None of the 3 panelists picked Raiders to finish last. I think 2 of the guys said Raiders 2nd.
We’ll see. If what we see from the D translates to reg season or better yet we only show we are better…
Look out.
I didn’t notice Palmers velocity getting weaker as Raiderman 99 mentioned..as far as the pass he’s talking about. It just seemed he missed the throw.
I DID expect Palmer to look better at this point but I still have his back.

Based on the pre-season action I’ve seen, DVD should be an EASY cut.
Has really looked bad. Poor in coverage. Abysmal tackling.
There was one play against Detroit where the TE catches a pass right on the sideline. DVD comes up from the side and just has to tap him to knock him out of bounds. DVD did tap him. Looked like a spit ball bouncing off a battleship. TE just brushed him off like a gnat.
Even with the supposedly great camp and his draft status, if you’re going by performance in the pre-season games only – DVD is a goner.

Some guy was talking about how Routt looks ok with the chiefs based on his name not getting mentioned in the 1st half of one of the preseason games.
I said sure; you tend to hear his name more often in crucial situations like in the redzone late in games and on 3rd and longs.

Reminds me of draft day in ‘09. Relaxing in the swimming pool and the TV announcers talking about Darrius Heyward Bey as the Raiders pick. I must of fired off every F-bomb and other bad word I knew as my head throbbed with a migraine. I had to bribe the kids with ice cream to not tell on me to momma. That was a humbling experience.
August 27th, 2012 at 7:12 am
During the 09 draft I watched it at ESPN Zone at Staples Center.
I thought the LA Riots were going to erupt. People were looking for sh1t to burn and cars to flip.
DHB has come a long way.

Nnamdi looked not so hot his first two seasons lets not forget. If DVD is showing growth, why not develop him?
August 27th, 2012 at 7:18 am
Bartell

Lee
Chekwa
Huff is playing nickel corner.
Gio
MM34
Underwood
We need one more legit corner.
DVD ain’t it.
August 27th, 2012 at 7:19 am
I’d keep DVD, he looked bad last pre-season too but ended up as the best CB we had during the season, as far as the burn-percentage rate.
Huff is going to be our 3rd CB anytime opponets go 3-4 WR, so DVD, Chekwa or Pat Lee are likely to be the 4th and 5th CB’s anyway.
August 27th, 2012 at 7:21 am
Huff is the definite nickel corner?
I love our safety corps.
Gio, Huffy, Missile Mike, Branch
Who comes in to fill in for Huffy when he’s at the nickel? Gio or MM?
August 27th, 2012 at 7:24 am
Riff.
It looks that way, Gio seems to be the FS when Huff goes to CB….Mitchell for some reason keeps enetering the game with the 2nd team and remains in there with the 3rd, he’s been playing deep into the 4th quarter all pre-season, not sure why.

=================================================
Staff’s call. They’re the ones to make the call if he’s showing growth and to make the projection as to what he can develop into.
Don’t like discarding players too quickly.
I remember the first season CJ37 was with the Raids. Saw him play in the pre-season and thought he was beyond hope. Some horrific pre-season performances.
Was shocked he made the team, but really came to like him as a player later.
You never know. But DVD looks really light and weak out there. Can’t see him being a player unless he bulks up.

I’m with JFB and Guest123 on the foul language thing…Needing to use the F word in every second sentence just demonstrates a lack of anything useful to say…My niece summed it up one night on the way home from a game I’d taken her to. I had to stop for gas and some drunk idiot walked in swearing his head off about someone he had a beef with. my niece looked at him and quietly said “What a drunken loser”…She was 11 or 12 at the time. Kids have a way with the truth do they not?

Agreed.
But I like his size for when it comes to covering the modern 3rd WR.
Years ago teams were going with TO clones for their 3rd WR (think Jerry Porter) and so DB’s had to get bigger. Too big.
Al saw this trend and that is why we had Charles Woodson and Nnamdi and the rest. These guys were great but they arent your prototypical DB size.
As DBs continued to get bigger and bigger to combat TO and Megatron type WR’s, Bellicheat then turned the trend by going with tiny WRs like Wes Welker.
The Steve Largent clones like Wes Welker were now too small, precise and quick for the larger DB’s of the last decade.
I think Al started drafting these smaller DB’s for a reason. He knew we’d need a smaller DB to combat the Wes Welkers of the league.
Nick Miller was supposed to be our Wes Welker.

It looks like MM is playing Branch’s roll. Running the secondary.
The more he plays in that role the better. Even if it is with the scrubs. He seems to really be taking to the defense and showing a good football IQ.
All the practice is good for him.
August 27th, 2012 at 7:41 am
DVD’s problem seems to be a lack of confidence…He plays great in practice then plays scared in games…Hope he can get over that…Lots never do.
August 27th, 2012 at 7:41 am
I wouldnt be alarmed at all by the way they are playing MM this preseason.
August 27th, 2012 at 7:43 am

August 27th, 2012 at 7:45 am

Funny how the media is hyping up Peyton’s play the other night, he was decent, but 9ers defense fell of a cliff this year.imo They couldn’t stop the run or pass worth a crap.
