Moore, Knapp also concerned about timing
By Steve Corkran
Tuesday, August 28th, 2012 at 3:16 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders quartertback Carson Palmer first sounded the alarm when he said he is concerned about the inability to work much with injured wide receivers Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore. Well, as it turns out, he isn’t the only one worried about the effect it’s going to have once they return.
On Tuesday, offensive coordinator Greg Knapp and Moore said they, too, are worried about not being able to get in as much time as needed in training camp and the first three exhibition games.
“It’s been a huge setback,” Knapp said, “because Denarius, I was very excited to start working with last year in the OTAs, watching all the games last year on tape. To miss the timing of that guy with our quarterback, it’s been tough. It’s been tough, I’ll be honest with you.”
Moore has missed all three exhibition games and hasn’t practiced since Aug. 4 because of a lingering hamstring injury. Ford has been sidelined with a left foot injury since the Arizona Cardinals game Aug. 17.
“I’m very concerned,” Moore said. “As far as getting timing down with the quarterback, that’s very important. And actually being out there and repping each play, getting each concept down. It’s just mental errors, too, that you have to be aware of.”
Moore said he is making progress. He added that he is hopeful that the time he spent with Palmer last season and the offseason workouts will expedite the reacclimation process.
“Yes, it is some confidence right there but, then again, that was last year,” Moore said. “This is a new year, and you’ve got to prove yourself again. That’s what my mind-set is right now, just hurry up and get back out there so I can showcase it again.”
The flip side to the equation is that rookies Juron Criner and Rod Streater have received increased reps and playing time in games with Ford and Moore out so much.
That, in turn, should reap dividends for the Raiders in the long run, Knapp said.
“It has given the opportunity for these young guys to grow and, in the long haul, when Denarius comes back healthy actually might have been a blessing for us.”
Coach Dennis Allen said Ford still isn’t able to run on his injured foot. However, Ford was able to catch some balls from the JUGS machine, and he watched practice without the protective boot on his foot.
– Ford, Moore, defensive tackle Richard Seymour, linebacker Aaron Curry, center Stefen Wisniewski and cornerback Pat Lee did not practice Tuesday.
Tight end Richard Gordon returned to practice after missing some time with sore ribs.
– The Washington Redskins released veteran tight end Chris Cooley on Tuesday morning. When asked about the potential of pursuing Cooley, Allen issued his standard response.
“We’re going to look at anybody that comes available, and I don’t care what the position is,” Allen said. “If we feel like a guy can make us better, then we’re going to look at it. I wouldn’t single out the tight end position.
“What you do in the NFL is, you try to get better every single day, and part of the deal is, when people come across the waiver wire or people get released from other teams, you’re looking. So, yeah, we’ll look look. We’ll look at anybody.”
Allen anointed Brandon Myers the leading candidate to replace released starter Kevin Boss at tight end. Second-year players Davis Ausberry and Gordon remain in the mix for the job.
At one point, it seemed as if Ausberry was being groomed for the role. However, his play has been inconsistent in training camp and the three games so far.
“David’s been a little up and down,” Allen said. “He’s really made some nice plays athletically and then he’s had his mental lapses. But he’s still a young player, and he’s a young player with talent, and I’m excited about getting an opportunity to work with him.”
Cooley is subject to the waiver process, which means he can be claimed by another team within the next 24 hours. If he clears waivers, he is free to sign with any team, including the Redskins.
– Doesn’t sound as if there’s any reason for concern regarding kicker Sebastian Janikowski and his sore groin.
So said Allen, once again.
“I don’t anticipate that being any issue at all,” Allen said.
As for kicking Thursday night, Allen said Janikowski is healthy enough to do so, but that doesn’t mean that the Raiders will rush him back, given the opener is less than two weeks away.
– Knapp knows all too well how loud it gets at the CenturyLink Field in Seattle, the site of the Raiders final exhibition game. If Knapp has his way, it will be plenty loud for the Raiders on Thursday.
“Oh, goodness, I’m hoping it does,” Knapp said. “I would love it to be. We’ve been working on silent cadence in practice for that reason. Spending my year up there in 2009, I did find out some information how they developed that stadium and the echo they created. It is deafening. It’s hard to concentrate in there
“And that’s one reason why, what was it, the Giants had 15 false starts in one game? It’s deafening. So, I’m hoping that we do get that effect because that would be good for our ball club.”
– Knapp found out all he needed to know about rookie wide receiver Rod Streater during one particular sequence early in training camp.
“I’m surprised at how much moxie he’s got for a rookie,” Knapp said. “I kind of knew early on. There was a situation at camp, about week 2, where I lost my vocal chords on the kid and later in that practice, he comes back and makes a big play.
“I pulled him aside and said, ‘That’s exactly what you need to do. If you make a mistake, don’t let somebody yelling at you, somebody booing you or somebody critiquing you on the sideline affect how you do the next down.’ For a rookie, he shows a lot of moxie.”
Streater has caught 18 passes for 165 yards in three exhibition games, tops on the Raiders.
– Criner flashed during offseason workouts every day the media were permitted to watch the proceedings. It wasn’t until Saturday night against the Detroit Lions that we were treated to his penchant for making the difficult look routine.
For good reason, too, Knapp said. It’s easy for young players to shine in offseason workouts, it’s quite another once the learning curve gets accelerated in training camp.
“Yeah, that is a common thing with young guys, especially receivers,” Knapp said. “In the OTAs, when we’re in start-up mode, brand new offense, you don’t teach a whole lot. You just teach the core stuff and get a lot of feel for the core stuff. Once we go to training camp, though, we got to expand our book.
“So, a lot of information came his way and there was a little more thinking going on. But in the last seven days here, you can see how his game has improved. He’s not thinking as much, so he’s executing at a higher level.”
Sure enough, Criner caught two passes for touchdowns against the Lions. Both times, it was his ability to turn a difficult throw into a reception that keyed the plays.
For his part, Criner said he realized that it would take time to learn the offense and reach the point where he could let his ability take over, without thinking so much.
“Yeah, that’s kind of what was expected,” Criner said. “The coaches know that the guys have got a lot of information coming in, coming into a totally new, different style of offense and offensive play. So they’re going to be on you about (missed assignments) and stuff, but they definitely understand that we’re getting it down. But at this point we should be pretty much familiar with the playbook.”
– Roscoe Parrish made his Raiders debut at practice today. He said it was an easy call signing with the Raiders once they called Monday upon his release from the San Diego Chargers.
Now, he is primed to take over the punt-returning duties and do whatever else is asked of him by the Raiders. He also is capable of returning kicks and playing slot receiver, roles he handled from time to time during his seven years with the Buffalo Bills.
Yet, he makes no bones about it, returning punts is his speciality, and that’s what the Raiders are looking for most from him, at least in the short term.
“I’ve been (returning punts) since growing up and just coming over here when they need a returner is kind of like, a good feeling because that’ what I do,” Parrish said. “Just be back there and make plays and just not going to take anything for granted, just go out there. I don’t know how much I’m going to play Thursday. Look forward to being in that black and silver.”
Allen said he is intrigued about Parrish’s punt returning skills, ever mindful of Parrish’s past success in that regard.
“I like the fact that there for a couple years he was in the tops of the league in terms of being able to return the ball,” Allen said. “The fact that he can get under it and catch it and make a move and get upfield and gain some yards for us in the return game. And that’s an area that we got to get better at.”

Parrish couldn’t make the team in SD and they are desperate for receivers. I dont see him as anything more than a temp fill-in until Ford and/or Moore are healthy.

This morning you contradicted me and said that you liked the pickup.
Reality tells us that Parrish played only two games last year because of that bad ankle of his and hasn’t played that many games over the last 3-4 years.
Reality also tells us that the dischargers got him through free agency from Buffalo-who couldn’t wait to lose him- and after a look the dischargers dumped him too.
He can’t cost much though so it doesn’t hurt to look.

LOL @ Mistic, this is why people rag on you. You go out of your way to say negative things about white QBs but never black QBs.

I will answer you only once today you are not worth any more energy than that. Dont try to butcher my post and make it into something it isnt. I was comparing pryor to young qb including guys that wil start next year that are question marks. locker, ponder gabbert and pryor are all in the same draft class. weeden has already been named a starter as well.
only you googled the qbs to find out what their racial background was.

Reggie is going to keep his draft picks and roll with the hot mess Al left him, so he can finally draft some football players next year.
Trust Reggie’s gut.
August 28th, 2012 at 3:41 pm
I believe the new regime is about 6 foot or taller WR’s and the same for DB’s, other than Gio. Reg wants a mean D and big physical guys at WR.
August 28th, 2012 at 3:42 pm
The next time I see Pryor work inside the pocket, step up and deliver an accurate pass in rhythm…
will be the first.
According to the people who have watched the practices, and the NFL scouts who passed on him 64+ times, they haven’t seen it much either.
August 28th, 2012 at 3:43 pm
Honestly, I think the tape measurer has been thrown in the tool box.
There is no size Reggie is looking for, just players. He wants good, smart football players regardless of size & shape.
August 28th, 2012 at 3:45 pm
As mentioned before, Pryor’s CEILING will be Tim Tebow – a guy you can create a package of plays for.
And that ceiling is likely 1+ years away. Accuracy is not a skill that NFL QBs improve on much. They typically already had it in college.
August 28th, 2012 at 3:45 pm
Footwork & Accuracy, yes Pryor needs to work on them.

I disagree, hen is already better than tebow as a passer. In terms of young qbs i would compare him to jake locker or colin kapernic.
I would say he will better than vy because of his mental toughness, and drive to be the best. i think he can be like randal cunnigham, the minisota version

Chris Cooley didn’t get cut because he was garbage. He got cut because Fred Davis is just better.
He’s still a starting caliber TE in this league. Something the Raiders don’t have.

Bring in Cooley, Slaton and B McFadden for depth.
August 28th, 2012 at 4:10 pm
Watching tp all through his ohio state days until now I have noticed that he has huge respect for the nfl athlete. In college he often seemed to get by on the fact that he was just a man amogst boys athleticly. At times he over estimated his own abilty and he would force throws into beleieving he could beat coverage with arm strength. this resulted in throwing late or off balance and at times.
A major improvement has been that he isnt relying on arm strenght, instead he is making reads and finding the single coverage. Almost every throw he has attempted has been into single coverage. in fact the only time he forced the ball was on the hail mary, and the nullified pick vs detroit where he coupled the force with being late over the middle.
The fact that he has only made 2 glaring mistakes reading the defense ( arguably 1 if you dismiss the hail mary)is very encouraging
August 28th, 2012 at 4:10 pm
Tricky, true.
Mistic, Tebow sliced up the Steelers D when it mattered and is given by scouts a higher passing mark than Pryor.
Pryor is a THIRD STRING HB/QB right now. Think about how bad backup QBs are. Now imagine how bad a third string QB must be.
August 28th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
It may just turn out that pryor was the steal of the draft, and the sleeper in his class. years from now he may even be considered in the top of that class
August 28th, 2012 at 4:13 pm
So Pryor is reading the D correctly, and STILL completing only half of his passes vs 3rd string defenders?
Yikes.
And remember that even fewer of his completions have been from within the pocket. Can’t play street-ball like he did games 1 and 2.

===============
tebow is a winner ,and his abilty to make the timely throw coupled with tough running made them hard to defend. he had the game of his life vs the steelers, so he deserves credit.
For the record i thought pryor was better even while he was in college. If you have paid attention tebow learning a new offnese this year has clearly regressed and look like crap. Try 4/14 with a pick last week playing against the scrubs.
Juxtaposed to pryor 3/5 137 yds 2tds plus 5 rushes for 90 yards and a td
upon close examination of recent events it appears that pryor will be much better than tebow and already is a better passer.
He is only behind tebow in game reps
August 28th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
Call me crazy, but as far as Pryor and Leinert are concerned, I think the team should seriously consider making Pryor the primary back up (if he plays well in Seattle, that is) and have Matt come as the third qb this season.
Think about it: If Palmer goes down, knock on wood, defenses would be caught flatfooted and unprepared with Pryor’s vastly different skill set and talents, kind of like teblow but better. Also, opposing defenses would have to devote valuable practice time game planning against player they may not even face, while also gameplaning our primary offense.
My issue with Matt L. is his durability. There’s a good chance Pryor is going to be in there at some point anyway, so why not at least let him split second string snaps with Leinart. Pryor has too much to offer to waste on the bench.
August 28th, 2012 at 4:22 pm
Just to show that I won’t just blast Gregg Krapp for his lousy calls and plays – I want to give him some credit for the play design that resulted in the TD play to Criner on the crossing route.
A closer examination of the play reveals that not only was Criner open on the deep cross, but the intermediate cross was there too. Additionally, if TP wanted to, he could have turned the corner and run with the rock for a sizeable gain. To his credit, he kept his eyes upfield and made the right choice to go to Criner for the bigger gain. Extremely accurate throw too. His best yet.
Keep running TP sprint right. Throw in the possibility of a reverse off of that, and as Hank Stram said in the SB vs. the Vikes – ‘they can’t stop that in a million years’.

====================
1. pryors td passes were not “street ball” as you put it. One pass was a straight drop, he stepped up in the pocket and launched the bomb for the score. The second was a play fake and designed roll out, and pryor went to his fourth read the man deepest down the field and delivered a perfect strike while on on the move.
2. He was 3/5 last week which shows that he can complete more then 50% of his passes while learning the playbook, his team mates and the nfl in general as a rookie.

jet sweep, ghost motions, zone reads so many ways to be creative with a qb like pryor and all of the speed we have at the skill spots.

agreed if carson craps out by mid season ( hope he doesnt) hand it to pryor. We wouldnt learn anything about lienart we dont already know, he peaked at usc. It would give us a valuable opportunity to size up pryor. also if he played well it could mane preparing him fo our future by giving him starts in an otherwise meaningless rebuilding year.
From a biz standpoint it would also sell some tickets

Wind outside is picking up and a light rain is coming down. Was just outside looking at the trees blowing sideways. Then I see two black trash cans rolling down the side street. For a split second I thought I saw a car riding with no frame and no people. Was about to freak out.

August 28th, 2012 at 4:40 pm
One pass was a straight drop, he stepped up in the pocket and launched the bomb for the score.
=================================================
Uhh, yeah. But take a closer look at the play.
TP’s footwork on the throw wasn’t very good. He did not fully step up. Had he stepped up more authoritatively the ball probably wouldn’t have been underthrown.
Actually was NOT a good throw by TP. Criner is going to win the jump ball against that Corner every time, but TP should have put some more distance on the toss.
August 28th, 2012 at 4:41 pm

I’d just say that TP wasn’t standing in the parking lot playing catch.
Plenty of HOF QB’s have made the same throw with the same result.
Not saying TP is a HOF’er, just pointing out that even the best can under/over throw a rout, or mis fire completely.

=======================
he stepped up but there was penetration on the line coming right to his face. So he changed the arc of his motion to get the ball off. The ball was a jump ball but thats fine when your in one on one coverage and your wr has height advantage. No different from the deep ball palmer threw to dhb
August 28th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
The thing is the league caught up to Teblows pretty quickly. The same thing with Cam Newton. Cam threw for 400 yards in like 3 of his lst four NFL games. After their bye, he was throwing for about 180 yards. You have to be able to stand there and deliver the rock around the yard with accuracy and precision. That’s why the league hasn’t caught up to Brady, Bree or Rogers yet.

Parrish couldn’t make the team in SD and they are desperate for receivers. I dont see him as anything more than a temp fill-in until Ford and/or Moore are healthy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This morning you contradicted me and said that you liked the pickup.
Reality tells us that Parrish played only two games last year ecause of his ankle and hasn’t played that many games over the last 3-4 years.
It also tells us that the dischargers got him through free angency from Buffalo who couldn’t wait to lose him and after a look the dischargers dumped him too.
He can’t cost much though so it doesn’t hurt to look.

=============================
the hole in your theory is when you talk about cam newton. the leauge knew tebow was one dimensional, cam can stand in the pocket and be just as accurate as anybody in football.
The last 5 games of the season cams yardage dropped off but the production did not. Over that stretch he threw 9 tds against 3 ints plus he rushed for 295 yards and 5 tds.
i would say they still havnet caught up, they tried to slow him down but he found d ways to get it done anyway

The year after VY went 9-6 in Tennesse, a 37 year old Kerry Collins went 12-3.
I think both VY and Kerry hindered an elite Titans team from winning playoff games (each lost every playoff game they played in Tennessee).
August 28th, 2012 at 5:07 pm
We need to stop throwing out Pro Bowls for QB’s.
SVP went through it today on his show, basically if your willing to take a flight out to Hawaii you can be a Pro Bowler.
Tebow was a Pro Bowler last year. Garrard the year before. Kerry Collins made one at 37 years old.

I have to give priestt the credit. i wasnt sold on pryor as a buckeye, i didnt see enough improvement as a passer from year to year. yet the hype was always there.
preistt warned me that it may have been the college coaching staff that failed to develope the kid, it appears he was right. I think that pryor aso was guilty of caosting, but the way it ended was a real wake up call. He went from cant miss super qb in college to questionable character with flawed passing skills barley on the roster bubble.
If nothing else he is focused hungry and has huge mental toughness

atheists ignore the obvious. they need “proof”. but it’s all over the place for them to plainly see. what kind of moron really believes that out of nothing came something suddenly and then out of lifeless ooze, cam life for no apparent reason and then…and then….and then? i mean it’s ridiculous. it’s so obvious there’s organization going on. it’s not random at all.
it’s like with the kennedy assass!nation. if there was more than one shooter, it has to be a conspiracy. duh.
the world goes through very definite cycles. there are literally millions of things all connected to each other in a seemingly chaotic and free way but apparently all connected.
it’s ego that makes atheists refuse to see it. they want to be the smartest. they want to control their own destiny. and they don’t want to give thanks or be subservient to any God. but humans are not very bright. we really have no clue how everything works. every little bit of science we uncover only shows how God does it and proves how little we really understand.

August 28th, 2012 at 6:03 pm
kell–yes. the theory that darwin came up with was rather simple (he was a Christian by the way). he saw creatures adapted for their environment. in order for that to happen, he theorized that some random mutation must accidentally take place in one creature. mutations usually weaken a creature but here, he thinks it makes them stronger because their mutation would benefit them, and it apparently would be the only thing different with them. no weakened immune system. no abnormalities that would harm them, like with most mutations. so that particular creature would thrive and pass on his genes through multiple generations and eventually the entire population would have his genes. and this has to happen for every tiny little mutation and those mutations may be few and far between. hence, it MUST mean that it would take millions of years for it to happen this way.
HOWEVER, it has been proven that many animals have changed very quickly, without any reason. stunning. animals changing sex, colors, body parts. blows the “theory” out of the window really.
of course, if there’s a God, or a designer, then it all makes quite a bit more sense actually. but that God has not apparently shown Himself to the scientific community (only every day in everything they do).
i mean who could look at the world and universe and see no design? and if there is a design, then there is a God. that’s logic. and just having seasons and biospheres, and all kinds of other “designed” things, proves it many times over.

You stop it!!!!
He has completed less than a dozen, late in the game preseason passes, and he is better than a guy who threw for 300+ yards in a playoff game?

kell–yes. the theory that darwin came up with was rather simple (he was a Christian by the way). he saw creatures adapted for their environment. in order for that to happen, he theorized that some random mutation must accidentally take place in one creature. mutations usually weaken a creature but here, he thinks it makes them stronger because their mutation would benefit them, and it apparently would be the only thing different with them. no weakened immune system. no abnormalities that would harm them, like with most mutations. so that particular creature would thrive and pass on his genes through multiple generations and eventually the entire population would have his genes. and this has to happen for every tiny little mutation and those mutations may be few and far between. hence, it MUST mean that it would take millions of years for it to happen this way.
HOWEVER, it has been proven that many animals have changed very quickly, without any reason. stunning. animals changing sex, colors, body parts. blows the “theory” out of the window really.
of course, if there’s a God, or a designer, then it all makes quite a bit more sense actually. but that God has not apparently shown Himself to the scientific community (only every day in everything they do).
i mean who could look at the world and universe and see no design? and if there is a design, then there is a God. that’s logic. and just having seasons and biospheres, and all kinds of other “designed” things, proves it many times over.

re: tebow. i’m a huge raider fan and i kinda like tebow. i just respect his desire, fight, and attitude. i admire him for his wilingmess to say he’s a Christian. some cynics say he’s doing it for publicity. that doesn’t ring true at all. lots of athletes have said they were Christian without becoming celebrities. steve young is brigham young’s direct descendant for crying out loud. but he’s white, good looking, built well, a leader, a winner, and he seems to inspire his teammates immensely, even without them really knowing it. he’s simply a winner. and he has great character. as a qb, he obviously doesn’t do things in an orthodox way, but he does do things other qb’s can’t do. that’s really the key. he may not pass all that well, but he’s a great runner and he seems to be clutch. he’s one of those “intangibles” guys. who knows how it will work out but he’s an interesting story, and i don’t think he’s personally done anything to deserve anyone bashing him. he’s just a good kid with some faith. give him a break. i’d rather have him than some moron like jarassic.

there’s a start. of course scientists can explain why animals can change spontaneously according to the need of their species, even though they have pea brains. it’s all explainable by science u see. there’s not really a designer of any of this. it just happened because………um…….well……..because of science.

To be fair, there aren’t as many actual Raider fans on here as before.
There’s a rather sizable ant-Palmer contingent, as well as many who despise the Raider patriarch Al Davis..for how he’s destroyed “their favorite team”, and many will argue ad nauseum about how the Raiders suck, always have sucked and always will suck.
There are a few Raider fans here too.

“Tebow, almost a laughing stock around the NFL when it comes passing, completed 10 of 21 passes for a whopping 316 yards. He averaged an unheard-of 15 yards per attempt and had a passer rating of 125.6. His passer ratings in the two previous games were 37.9 and 20.6.
But he completed passes of 51, 30 and 58 yards in the second quarter to put up 20 points and erase a 6-0 Steelers lead.”

***********
the all time question of questions eh? well that;s kinda the point. see if u follow me here. our human brains just can’t understand the concept of time even though we know it exists, or at least we think it does. we just can’t get our little minds to understand a “beginning”. it doesn’t make sense. if the universe started, then what was before? and before that? it’s like infinity and infinite smallness. cut an atom in half. now cut that in half. and again and again and again. u just can’t get to the smallest thing. it boggles the mind.
but that’s why i know the human brain doesn’t and can not understand the truth of the universe as it really is. there is simply no reason for there to be absolute nothingness (where did that nothingness come from?) and then for there to be a big bang. a big bang of what? there was nothing. and then there was something?
that’s crucial. there was nothing. then there was something.
something happened. some force made it happen. they call it the big bang. u know where that came from? genesis. it’s a variation on an ANCIENT story. scientists stole it to try to get us to believe what is essentially an unsolvable mystery.

I guess KK missed the Tebow bashing fest that went on two stories ago. I didnt see one person sticking up for the clown. Shebow has had 3 years to develop and he hasnt improved at all. Houdini on the other hand has only had 3 games and has shown massive improvements.
But I see the lame topic of the day here is religion so I will bow out. I definitely got better things to do with my time than argue with a bunch of sheep who still think the world is flat.
The Raiders are about thinking for ones self. Going against the grain. Counter culture. Nothing about being a bible thumper says you know how to think for yourself.
Now to some actual Raider talk…
There was some SERIOUS Raider hating going on on NFL Network tonite. Jamie Dukes is permanently on my chitlist. Im now 100% convinced he doesnt even watch the games he talks about. He just breezes over a few stat lines and then makes colossal judgements. F-him.
Ok brothas, Im out. Gotta get some sleep.
Oh, and BTW, Shebow is a member of hate groups. Shebow doesnt like beaver. And Shebow is the worst pure passer in the history of the NFL.

DVD is going to be very good. just watch. Great speed and change of direction fluidity. Good length. Those are some of the fundamental building blocks of being a great CB and DVD is aces in those areas. Instincts and ball skills are lacking, but give him time. I think he’s vastly underrated by fans on this board and expectations are way too high for a second year, third-round pick playing possibly one of the most challenging positions in the game.

Agreed, plenty of time to let things play out.
Just gotta poke holes in the notion we can just go willy-nilly about it and see if he is ready in 2015.
The suspension last year kind of robbed him and us of one of his 4 years of his rookie contract.
August 28th, 2012 at 8:00 pm
Religion,politics,race and what’s in our 3rd string QB’s future? Business as usual I see.1Nation #1…………..

DVD is going to be very good. just watch. Great speed and change of direction fluidity. Good length. Those are some of the fundamental building blocks of being a great CB and DVD is aces in those areas. Instincts and ball skills are lacking, but give him time. I think he’s vastly underrated by fans on this board and expectations are way too high for a second year, third-round pick playing possibly one of the most challenging positions in the game.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I hope you are right…..4.27 in the 40 can’t hurt either.

JFB….wonder if there is some way the Team can gain compensation from the commish’s office for that lost season?Or did we know about the the suspension before we drafted him?
August 28th, 2012 at 8:09 pm
I guess we could have bucked the trend and gave him an extra year over the normal rookie contract.
That’s the issue with a sup pick QB. Not a big deal of he is a DE, you can put him on the field, at least for a few situations.

Chico,
You are assuming that Palmer will continue to be the starter the next 3 seasons, and you are also assuming that TP will not get a chance to showcase his talents in that period.
The coaching staff has 3 more seasons to evaluate the kid.

BEREA, Ohio — After a spirited practice, the Cleveland Browns were still in a playful mood so they decided to pull a prank on one of their rookies.
Francies
Coye Francies didn’t care for the joke.
The first-year cornerback, incensed over being soaked with water by some of his teammates, threw a bucket of ice and at least one errant punch during a skirmish in the Browns’ locker room on Friday.
As the Browns returned from practice, a dripping-wet Francies stormed into the locker room lugging a Gatorade bucket full of ice. Before he could be stopped, Francies tossed the ice on cornerback Brandon McDonald, hitting him with cubes that covered the floor.
At that point, it was not clear if Francies was playing along and messing with McDonald.
Then, his mood, and the vibe in the room, turned more serious.
Francies flung some more ice in the direction of safety Mike Adams before heading toward safety Abram Elam’s corner cubicle. With the bucket on the floor, Francies then swung his arms at Elam, who deflected the blows. Pro Bowl nose tackle Shaun Rogers then stepped in and grabbed Francies by the back of the shirt and escorted him out a side door as other players came to help.

August 28th, 2012 at 8:49 pm
So far DVD has just been a practice warrior who fizzles during an actual game. He’s fast but also slight of stature. He’s also NOT a great tackler. Kind of sounds like one of Al’s past “fast” CB draftees that can race all over the place but doesn’t do much when he gets there.
August 28th, 2012 at 8:50 pm
That brings up another question……The Raiders got down to 75 players but have brought in another 2? How does that work unless they cut down to 73 or did two others get cut? I’m confused now.
August 28th, 2012 at 8:51 pm

Also in the team photo:

Coye Francies, CB, San Jose State
Francies is one of those rare physical specimens who carries a high boom-bust factor into the 2009 NFL Draft. His best asset is speed — with a 4.35 40 time (2009 time), Francies showed he can run with most NFL receiver. He showed great closing speed, good tracking technique and he plays the ball well while in the air. Francies reacts quickly on plays in front of him and also showed good adjustments when backpedaling. A workout warrior, he will show up to support the run and does not shy away from contact. There were character concerns early on in his career, but he had a model stint at San Jose State. Francies however doe lack top tier experience (he only has one year experience as a full time starter with San Jose State). He is also thin as a rail and needs to add bulk and upper body strength. Francies is still very raw and it will take time to adjust to the speed of the pro game. A better press defender than a zone cover player at this time, Francies does not show shutdown ability. Francies has good, but raw talent and is far from being a finished product. His ability to press cover and his tracking technique are better suited for a safety position.The lack of experience is a major concern, but because of a perceived lack of top cornerback prospects in this class, Francies will probably go higher than his talent and level of play may warrant. Nevertheless, Francies projects as a solid corner with versatility

Pryor will at NO point this season beat out Leinart for the #2 spot. Again, Pryor played street ball games 1 and 2, underthrew a deep pass game 3, and completed a beautiful throw later that game. He’ll get into some games for his running ability (bootleg plays), but that’s it.
2 terrible pre-season games, terrible two months of practice, one game with one or two solid throws.
A college history or terrible accuracy.
#3 QB. Not even a backup.

One can only hope both DMAC and Jones stay healthy through out the year. Most explosive back field in the NFL if such is the case. Adding a bruiser back there can help as well.

*******************
see, there u go. he’s not ready and he will likely stay #3 this year, especially since leinart not only has starting experience, but has looked pretty solid so far with the raiders. but saturday’s game was huge. if we had cut him before that game, he probably would have gotten a few sniffs, and likely some gm’s asking about a position switch. but not now buddy. if we cut him today, nearly every team would line up to get him. to develop him, sur. but he turned heads, brother. guaranteed that nfl people all over the league perked up and said “whoa!”. a qb simply can not do what he did and not get people talking. everyone is waiting to see more. but while most nfl people had serious doubts and probably even dismissed him before, they are ALL thinking “maybe” now. the upside just got got exponentially higher. because if he can put together his mechanics, he could incredible. he has a great arm. great escapability. great size and strength. and he’s completed a lot of passes. maybe not as many as you would like, but here’s one for ya: if he completes 50% of his passes and you would like him to complete 60%, does his rare running ability make up for it? think about how many plays he will not need to complete a pass on. remember steve young taking off for all those first downs? john elway? how about michael vick two years ago? michale vick never had a higher completion rate than 56% with atlanta and as low as 44%. then 62% with philly 2 years ago and 60% last year. guys develop. pryor has a lot of people talking. and his work ethic and character and drive suggest he may get there. he’s very coachable according to everyone. not a prima dona. puts in lots of work. wants to be great. watch out world.
August 28th, 2012 at 10:53 pm

i have to say i think cooley is a gift for the raiders. a productive, healthy TE, only 30 just became available for nothing. myers is only ok and likely will never be better. gordon has a history of paddle-hands. good blocker though. ausberry is the future but it’s not easy going from WR to TE. he’s really not quite ready. cooley could get 60/650/5. none of our three can come close to that.

Should the Raidahs be concerned about CP3? And the fans, shoul we be concerned about CP3?
Hell No!
What we need to be concerned about is Knapp tryin to insert a WCO with a QB who is a big armed pocket passer.
When Lienart has to bring along CP3 to understand the O playbook, we need to be concerned. Cuz you know that is Knapps doin. My big prayer is all this WCO is just a smokescreen and Knapp comes to his senses and lets Palmer call his own game.
Liken CP3 to Nolan Ryan. Big strong righty who throws hard, wild but effective. Nobody told Ryan how to pich. And so should be the case with Palmer. And get this: Plunkett called is own games, yes he did. You think anybody told him how to QB? Hell no. CP3 is the closest thing we’ve had to the Great Jim Plunkett since the Great Jim Plunkett.
I’m Mr Green and I approve this message.

Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins.[1][page needed]
Life on Earth originated and then evolved from a universal common ancestor approximately 3.7 billion years ago. Repeated speciation and the divergence of life can be inferred from shared sets of biochemical and morphological traits, or by shared DNA sequences. These homologous traits and sequences are more similar among species that share a more recent common ancestor, and can be used to reconstruct evolutionary histories, using both existing species and the fossil record. Existing patterns of biodiversity have been shaped both by speciation and by extinction.[2][page needed]
Charles Darwin was the first to formulate a scientific argument for the theory of evolution by means of natural selection. Evolution by natural selection is a process that is inferred from three facts about populations: 1) more offspring are produced than can possibly survive, 2) traits vary among individuals, leading to differential rates of survival and reproduction, and 3) trait differences are heritable.[3] Thus, when members of a population die they are replaced by the progeny of parents that were better adapted to survive and reproduce in the environment in which natural selection took place. This process creates and preserves traits that are seemingly fitted for the functional roles they perform.[4] Natural selection is the only known cause of adaptation, but not the only known cause of evolution. Other, nonadaptive causes of evolution include mutation and genetic drift.[5]

When Lienart has to bring along CP3 to understand the O playbook, we need to be concerned. Cuz you know that is Knapps doin. My big prayer is all this WCO is just a smokescreen and Knapp comes to his senses and lets Palmer call his own game.
Liken CP3 to Nolan Ryan. Big strong righty who throws hard, wild but effective. Nobody told Ryan how to pich. And so should be the case with Palmer. And get this: Plunkett called is own games, yes he did. You think anybody told him how to QB? Hell no. CP3 is the closest thing we’ve had to the Great Jim Plunkett since the Great Jim Plunkett.
I’m Mr Green and I approve this message.

I am of the same opinion if that means anything.I hope you are correct about the smokescreen.Can’t bleach the stripes from a tiger.

And regarding TP….took Plunk a while and a couple of teams before he came into his own.
The 9er’s have been a good farm club for us over the years.

Mr KK, You like Mr O and I like Mr O. He is a professed Christian and I have listened to his prayers that he leads at the weekly prayer breakfasts. Do you not believe our Prez when he speaks at the prayer breakfasts? I do. And please don’t respond with Mr B was a professed Christian, because you’ll be tryin to twist my point. Religion does not mess up religion or mankind. Mankind does. But soon the Old Account will be settled and we’ll all be free.
But in the meantime, I’ll be waitin at the gate to get in to see the Raidahs Thurs. night in yuppie town, starbucks land, latte sippin rainsoaked Seattle.

I still don’t think Al Saunders is exactly hands off on the offensive scheme, and Knapp would be an egotistical jerk not to avail himself of that kind of experience and knowledge.

DVD is not going any where he just needs to go out and do his job he’ll be okay. The kid Has skills
August 29th, 2012 at 12:12 am
hmm. i’m not sure about dvd and chekwa. i’m rooting for them. they’re young and talented. but they’re not reggie’s or DA’s guys. there’s no investment there. two positions were mentioned as needing major upgrades early on when reggie and DA were just getting going. TE and CB. they only brought in humphrey at TE, a player from reggie’s days at GB. maybe there just weren’t many good options at the time to sign. but they brought in a LOT of CB’s. they brought in two new starters that have looked good. and with lee, mccann, underwood, taylor, and now francies, they have a lot of options. i still they are likely to make the cut but it wouldn’t shock me if they didn’t. i mean, bringing in francies says something. they claimed him. they’re not completely sold yet on what they have apparently.
remember. there are ALWAYS surprises on final cut day.
August 29th, 2012 at 12:15 am
my picks for potential surprise cuts:
myers (if cooley is signed)
seymour
dvd/chekwa

-Q: How quickly did the Parrish thing come about?
-ALLEN: Pretty quickly. We wanted to get a chance to take a look at him,
especially as a punt returner. We’re watching the waiver wires to see
if there’s anybody that we feel like’s got a chance to help us.
notice he said they were watching for anyone that could help them. then they sign francies. a cornerback. that can help. dvd and chekwa may be outta here.

Rob_Raider = Spot On!
I get along with everybody, but when I see people dissin Creation, I feel bad for them because of the things they are missing out on. Like the miracle of child birth or the beauty of a gardern, the direction of life is awesome. Can you feel it? The old account will be settled soon ya’ll, and then everyone can rejoice in Creation without any debate because there will be nothing to debate when we are in the glorious presence of the Creator.
————————
Nobody is missing out on anything. One does not need to believe in a creator to recognize the beauty of the universe.

I started to write a creationism rant, but I remembered this is a Raiders blog and that I have to get up in the morning.
GO RAIDERS!
In Reggie we trust… for now.

Parrish couldn’t make the team in SD and they are desperate for receivers. I dont see him as anything more than a temp fill-in until Ford and/or Moore are healthy.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This morning you contradicted me and said that you liked the pickup.
Reality tells us that Parrish played only two games last year ecause of his ankle and hasn’t played that many games over the last 3-4 years.
It also tells us that the dischargers got him through free angency from Buffalo who couldn’t wait to lose him and after a look the dischargers dumped him too.
He can’t cost much though so it doesn’t hurt to look.
=====================
Once again, someone who can’t tell the difference between the words “win” and “fire”. I will fight my own battles, but dont make me fight someone else’s. Ha Ha

You’re right brother!
I didn’t read that handle correctly.
