Predicting Raiders 53-man roster

By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, August 29th, 2012 at 3:44 pm in Oakland Raiders.

The Raiders are on their way to Seattle for their exhibition finale against the Seahawks.
While they’re relaxing, we’re crunching the numbers, breaking down the tape and making sense of everything we’ve seen during offseason workouts, training camp and the first three exhibition games.
So, what better time to take a sneak peek at how the Raiders 53-man roster shapes up for the 2012 season?
We will break down the roster into three categories: locks, on the bubble and long-shots.
Locks are players who are certain to make the roster as of now, barring injury, trade or an abysmal performance Thursday night.
On the bubble players have a decent shot of making the team but shouldn’t be tattooing the Raiders shield anywhere on their bodies just yet.
Long-shots is a sizable group of players unlikely to make the team as of now. For some of these players, their best shot of sticking around is in case of injury or by virtue of the practice squad.
Final roster cuts are Friday. Here’s our best educated guess:

LOCKS
QB — Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart and Terrelle Pryor
RB — Darren McFadden and Taiwan Jones
FB — Marcel Reece and Owen Schmitt
WR — Jacoby Ford, Darrius Heyward-Bey, Denarius Moore, Juron Criner, Rod Streater and Roscoe Parrish
TE — Brandon Myers, David Ausberry and Richard Gordon
OL — Jared Veldheer, Cooper Carlisle, Stefen Wisniewski, Mike Brisiel, Khalif Barnes, Joseph Barksdale, Alex Parsons and Tony Bergstrom
DL — Matt Shaughnessy, Lamarr Houston, Richard Seymour, Tommy Kelly, Desmond Bryant, Dave Tollefson and Christo Bilukidi
LB — Rolando McClain, Philip Wheeler and Miles Burris
CB — Ron Bartell and Shawntae Spencer
S — Michael Huff, Tyvon Branch, Mike Mitchell and Matt Giordano
K — Sebastian Janikowski
P — Shane Lechler
LS — Jon Condo

43 players are locks. That leaves 10 spots from the following players.

ON THE BUBBLE
QB — None
RB — Mike Goodson and Lonyae Miller
FB — None
WR — Travionte Session
TE — None
OL — None
DL — Jamie Cumbie, Jack Crawford and Dominique Hamilton
LB — Aaron Curry (likely to remain on the physically-unable-to-perform list because of sore knees), Travis Goethel and Carl Ihenacho
CB — DeMarcus Van Dyke, Chimdi Chekwa, Pat Lee and Bryan McCann
S — Brandon Underwood
K — None
P — None

LONG-SHOTS
QB — None
RB — None
FB — None
WR — Eddie McGee, Derek Carrier and Brandon Carswell
TE — Tory Humphrey and Kyle Efaw
OL — Dan Knapp, Kevin Haslam, Lucas Nix, Nick Howell and Colin Miller
DL — Hall Davis
LB — Kaelin Burnett, Chad Kilgore and Nathan Stupar
CB — Coye Francies
S — Curtis Taylor
K — Eddy Carmona
P — Marquette King

With that said, the odds-on candidates to capture the final 10 spots are: RB Mike Goodson, DLs Jamie Cumbie and Jack Crawford, LBs Travis Goethel and Carl Ihenacho, CBs DeMarcus Van Dyke, Chimdi Chekwa, Pat Lee and Bryan McCann and S Brandon Underwood

This leaves the Raiders thin at linebacker, assuming Curry winds up on the PUP list. However, Tollefson is versatile enough to help out in a pinch, as he did with the New York Giants. Carrying six cornerbacks gives the Raiders better odds of finding one or two long-term keepers.
Also, carrying only eight offensive linemen isn’t exactly ideal. Yet, Bergstrom and Barksdale are versatile enough to play multiple positions, as well on both sides of the line. And, the Raiders won’t have any difficulty adding a player if the need arises.
It’s also important to remember that the Raiders cut Giordano last season in reaching 53 players, only to re-sign him a few days later. This is just the next phase of the building process.

    Keep Cumbie!!!!

  2. Seymour Bush Says:

    go Raiders!

  3. CoopeRaider Says:

    3

  4. Dan78 Says:

    Keep Ihenacho

  5. JB Says:

    Given the violent nature of the game & the ever increasing size & speed of players, injuries are much more request. The 53 active player limit should be increased to 60 for the good of the game. It’s not like the owners can’t afford it. It would be the right thing to do.

  6. mizza Says:

    Giordano is a lock? that dude is doo doo. Well..at least he’s better then Boyd.

  7. rob_raider Says:

    i wonder what happened to beechum. i’m worried. maybe he tried autoerotic asphyxiation. seems up his alley.

  8. JB Says:

    “frequent”

  9. CoopeRaider Says:

    Cooley needs to be on that chart! *fingers crossed*

  10. mizza Says:

    Also, Cumbie looked promising. I hope they keep him.

  11. CoopeRaider Says:

    Gio a lock for sure! Always seems to be in the right place at the right time.

  12. mizza Says:

    Lastly, we should keep loynae Miller and cut Goodson. I can’t figure out what Goodson does that Tawain doesn’t do better. And Miller could be that bruiser we dont have for short yard and goaline situations.

  13. CoopeRaider Says:

    Steve…I think you called it perfectly.

  14. CoopeRaider Says:

    We could pick up a free agent better than miller.

  15. TxRaider210 Says:

    Gio saved two would be TD’s the other night, with nobody in the play but him and ball carrier, dude’s a pro.

  16. CoopeRaider Says:

    I think Goodson hasn’t had a chance to show what he can do….give him tomorrow’s game before you count him out.

  17. CoopeRaider Says:

    TX….ie. Gio….exactly. Guy seems to have instinct for days.

    One would hope, but no, biachi is “RaiderRob” or Bronco Billy as I call him. He is also missus beecham and about 20 other persona.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Of course he’s a lock.

    When Giordano tackles they don’t get more yardage.

  20. morilla Says:

    Gio is the best DB we have.

    Man…was i the only one seeing Gio constantly tackling air in the open field last year?

    ————————-
    Dude is strong, fast and has instincts..oh yeah and a huge play to help Indy win a SB. DA even praises his work ethic and professionalism.

  23. CoopeRaider Says:

    Gio is most consistent db we have at least.

  24. RAIDERMAN99 Says:

    Slowlando is an adequate blitzer, is better in coverage than people think.

    Slowlando, however is not very good at plugging the run. Can count the times he’s filled a hole and tackled a RB for little or no gain on one hand.

    Don’t know what the problem is, but I suspect it’s a lack of lateral foot speed and pursuit, way more than a recognition deficiency.

    Don’t know about you, but I expect my MLB’s strength to be STOPPING THE RUN. Blitzing prowess and coverage ability are important, but secondary to STOPPING THE RUN.

    Slowlando has been a huge disappointment in this area, and I don’t buy the ‘DT’s aren’t keeping him clean’ explanation for his shortcomings against the run at all.

    I’ll be ecstatic if the jogging, whiffing, felonious funeral fool substantially improves, but I’m not holding my breath.

  25. KoolKell Says:

    Yeah, that goal line Playcalling was fkd up. If you’re not going to run straight ahead, you might as well rollout. Mr Rollout Guy.

  26. CoopeRaider Says:

    Yes Mizza…it’s called psychoactive drugs. Gio was money. Lol

  27. TxRaider210 Says:

    Trust me guys, I pull for Huffy since he’s a country fella, but Gio is more of a ball-hawk at this point.imo

  28. CoopeRaider Says:

    99…nice use of colorful adjectives if nothing else!! Lol

  29. Blackmamba_20 Says:

    Whats the Go on Tony Bergstrom?? havent heard a whiff about him…

  30. CoopeRaider Says:

    ie. ZBS at the goal line….Allen will adjust…I have faith!

    ———–

    Yup, he’s the only guy who consistanly makes plays.

  32. KoolKell Says:

    Rolando is stopping the run so far this year, with more latitude than lining up in the same spot down after down in Al Davis’ defense. OC’ s knew where he was gonna be every damned play. Of course he was blocked.

  33. CoopeRaider Says:

    Question….if we sign Cooley, which TE do we drop. I really have a feeling we are working on a deal for the guy if someone else doesn’t pick him up for more $.

  34. CoopeRaider Says:

    Morilla…are you a big XII guy??

    Great closing speed too, he comes from nowhere and grabs the rock.

  36. RAIDERMAN99 Says:

    Roscoe Parrish is a lock ?

    Corky don’t know squat.

  37. alex7 Says:

    I don’t get all this “window has closed on team x” business.
    It’s a dumb thing to say.

    Did the “window” close on the Falcons when Vick left? Hmm, one good Matt Ryan draft pick later and they were right back in the playoffs.

    Did anyone feel the “window” was open for the Patriots in ‘01 when Bledsoe was injured? Did the window exist for the Seahawks when they surprised everyone and made it to the Super Bowl? Weren’t the Giants too old and Coughlin on his way out last year? Who thought the 49ers even had a window last year with Alex Smith?

    There are no windows. Every year, a bunch of teams surprise and make the playoffs, and one of them can win the big one.

  38. KoolKell Says:

    That static defense had been run on for years.

    yeah. if u record the games, watch the LB’s on running plays. watch the play 3 times and watch each guy.

    wheeler plays it perfectly. sees the ball and pursues thru traffic aggressively to the rb’s shoulder/hip.

    burris immediately steps forward, finds the ball, and takes off. at times he can overrun it or misstep. u can see him trying to react but sometimes miscalculating. the nfl speed is hard to adjust to and recognizing everything can be tuff, but he improved a lot in the last game. the point is, he is aggressive and it’s coming quickly. he will make some errors but he is working hard and gets after it.

    mcclain sits and watches, many times just runs into the blocker with a shoulder turned and absorbs the blow. sometimes he overruns or tries to dip around blocks, because it seems he doesn’t really wanna smash thru traffic. occasionally he will make a nice play, usually when he has a straight line without traffic to the ball. yes, he’s big and he can cause damage but he just doesn’t seem very inspired.

    Whats the Go on Tony Bergstrom?? havent heard a whiff about him…
    ================================

    Bergstrom has played well. He is out there primarily with the two’s. He’s done his job.

  43. CoopeRaider Says:

    Morina….big twelve conference…didn’t understand your reference to Huff being a country fella….thought u may be a Texas fan

  44. morilla Says:

    Maybe DA is planning on stripping return duties for Ford and Moore.

  45. alex7 Says:

    Gio = our best ball-hawk.
    Branch = best tackler.
    Huff = most versatile DB with most potential to improve (like RoMac) with this new system.

    Huff was a tackling machine at Texas, had ball skills there, and is the most athletic of the three, so he’s the most likely to become our best all-around DB.

  46. CoopeRaider Says:

    Rob= not a big Rolando fan….new topic.

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

    parrish is a lock to return punts for the foreseeable future. if u listen to him and DA, it’s clear that’s why he was brought in. it’s his job. ford and moore aren’t back and neither of them was particularly good at it anyway, plus it’s better if they focus on wr. ford will also return kicks, which he is great at. roscoe is here to stay boys.

  51. CoopeRaider Says:

    Rolando…slow learner but hard worker…will catch up if his extracurricular activities don’t strip his mind.

  52. CoopeRaider Says:

    Agree with Parrish assessment Rob.

    being our highest pick he had been under the rader..
    well thats good news cheers

  55. DutchRaider77 Says:

    So if we keep Roscoe, why Brian McCann? Is he looking good at CB?

  56. alex7 Says:

    Morilla

    I think DA would be more likely to strip receiving duties from Ford (relegating him to 5th string), and keep him solely at what he does best, return kicks.

    Injured returners might be common, so would be nice to have two solid options instead of annually having to throw random guys back there who end up sucking when the starter goes down.

  57. TxRaider210 Says:

    I’m not a big college ball fan, but pull for UT guys or any guys drafted from a TX college, for that matter.lol

  58. J Hill Says:

    Yeah sure. This will only be his 7th season as a Raider.

    He’s sure to blossom now that he’s in a ‘real’ defense.

    All his deficiencies in the past and lack of making an impact were due to scheme.

    6 full years. 5.5 sacks. 9 picks. 0 TDs.

    Versatile ? Pfffft.

    Just means he does nothing well.

    Except run his yapper and collect his check.

  73. Seymour Bush Says:

    I completely agree with Rob’s LB breakdown. Wheeler has played WELL. Burris has played like a rookie. A rookie who is out there flying around, but a rookie. All things considered, Burris has looked good tho. McClain has looked like McClain.

  74. CoopeRaider Says:

    Ford and Moore remind me of Steve Smith (panthers)

    Roster sounds good good mix I’m saying super bowl iv gone on record were doing it man undefeated 16-0 yoooooooouuuuuuu yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaa wwwwwwwoooooooootttttttt woooooooot

  76. CoopeRaider Says:

    no. i just find him to be one of the weakest links to our defense. i just want raider fans to see the truth.

    kelly: outstanding, active
    seymour: pretty good, slipping
    shaughnessy: budding star
    houston: budding star

    mcclain: sorry, sucks
    wheeler: very good
    burris: mixed bag but coming along

    huff: mediocre
    branch: very good, tenacious
    bartell: pro, solid
    spencer: pretty good pro

    Raider till I die…love your optimism…glass isn’t even half full the glass is flowing over!

  79. eastoaklandraider Says:

    Was sittn here thinkn bout our Raiders and that other bay area team here are my thoughts. Moss(GOAT IMO) out wide to stretch field along with VDaivis at Te and Gore in the Backfield is kinda scary if ASmith can step his game up. With their D they could easily go to SB.

    Raiders O better than whiners O

    whiners D better than Raiders D

    Raiders play in weak division

    whiners play in weak division
    ———————

    Seems to me we are gonna see a lot of good football in the Bay area this season with a possible RAIDER whiner SB. Just a few thoughts.

    If Ford is not going to return KO’s or PR’s, & he’s still injury prone, and his hands have not been all that great lately, what will his role on this team be? I see DHB, Moore & Streater as the starting 3. I then see Criner as the #4 WR. If they bring in another TE then I can see them moving Ausberry back to WR. He’s end up at #5 or #6 WR leaving the remaining spot for Ford. His stock has really fallen. Should he be considered as trade bait the next time he’s healthy?

  83. J Hill Says:

    LMFAO!!!!!

    First run play Detroit runs is at the 8:01 mark in the 1st qtr.

    2nd and 5 handoff, 55 does exactly what you’re claiming the other 2 LB do.

    CMON already with the buhllshiii

  84. alex7 Says:

    guys, maybe you’re too used to Madden stats…

    but there are many safeties who have played for 6 seasons and have FEWER than 9 picks and 5.5 sacks.

    The fact Huff did that playing for Art Shell and Chuck B. is worth considering.

    REMEMBER Huff garnered All Pro votes the ONE season he played with an almost-legit DC (Marshall).

    Seymour…Mclain has the most cerebral position on our defense that has changed with the seasons…give him some time to figure it out. It’s hard to play fast when ur still figuring things out.
    ==========================================

    His lst year and a half I gave him that benefit. MLB is not like safety or QB. Guys like Laurinitis, Posluszny, Curtis Lofton came right in and played well. Our guy hasn’t.

    Ford struggled with drops and fumbles during last season’s opener, so he’s shown inconsistency before.

    Cmon …

    Be a little more specific.

    We can both watch the play right now and comment on it.

    ==================================================
    LOL. You got the games from last season ?

    You know which play I want your comments on.

    Detroit.

    4th down.

    About 4 mins left.

    Truthfully, tell me, has there ever been a case of a LB with a clearer look at the play developing right in front of him, completely unblocked, not even getting a hand on a relatively immobile QB in a more crucial situation ?

    Dialogue, JH.

  92. J Hill Says:

    Next play, same thing from 55.

    You do realize 55 is McClain, right?

  93. CoopeRaider Says:

    MLB calls plays for the D

  94. eastoaklandraider Says:

    Rob I disagree on Huffy I know he hasnt fullfilled his potential but I chalk that up to playing in the AL Davis Chuck Bres D. If Huffy doesnt shine this year and I mean be a pro bowler I will jump ship.

  95. J Hill Says:

    99,

    That was PUHHH THEHHH TICKKK!!!!!

    We agree on the Stafford whiff.

    Ford will be fine. Little glitch in his technique. He’s the type that shows up when called upon.

  111. CoopeRaider Says:

    I like it Raider till I die

  112. J Hill Says:

    Mike Mitchell and Underwood playing well could certainly signal a surprise cut to save $.

    I think what is saving him is the utter lack of depth at corner.

    I agree that he is probably our best DB. But what does that really say?

    Branch, mm34, Gio, and Underwood can all play S for us without much of a dropoff from Huff.

  122. J Hill Says:

    Huff is talented, don’t get me wrong.

    MM34 and Underwood have shown well in camp. THAT is what makes me say it MAY be possible for us to cut Huff.

    May be able to trade a S for depth on the OL???

  123. CoopeRaider Says:

    Instead of toying with the idea of playing Huff at CB…trade him for a serviceable CB…nobody would take his contract though.

  124. Raidernationdave Says:

    Well Merry “fking” Christmas and Happy Birthday to you!

  125. eastoaklandraider Says:

    I think TBranch can make the switch to fs if that was needed to make room for mm34 at ss. And as for gio god bless’em but i’ll pass.

  127. CoopeRaider Says:

    The fact Huff did that playing for Art Shell and Chuck B. is worth considering.

    REMEMBER Huff garnered All Pro votes the ONE season he played with an almost-legit DC (Marshall).

    he’s not really a problem, just not really good. yeah there are lots of safeties with marginal, mediocre, unimpressive stats. your point is that he’s one of them? good point.

  156. RAIDERMAN99 Says:

    Unless MM34 was getting extra reps to round into shape after his injury, the fact that he was playing late in the 4th qtr may be indicative that his roster spot is not as secure as everyone seems to think.

    Let me ammend that – I don’t think he’s in any danger of being cut, and I’d agree that he’s a lock, but I don’t think he’s as high in the organizational pecking order or future plans as we’d like to believe.

    sorry, huff is just ok and a scheme change won’t change that. have u seen him do anything in the preseason to make u think at 29, he will “develop”? he’s the only guy touting that stuff, and it’s just him trying to cover for himself. he’s not bad, not good. just ok.

    seymour is slipping and his physical health is in question. good thing houston is emerging quickly. and bilukidi has promise. as does bryant.

    mcclain has one more chance. if he continues to basically suck, plug curry or goethel in and draft an mlb next year.

    I think McFadden has a monster year, love our receivers I am a little disappointed with the te’s thought ausberry could break through is so talented, we need someone better than Myers starting.

    Defense is going to be so much more intense and obviously better

    Houston looks dominant, shonasty big year, Kelly will be solid

    I think we cut chekwa

    Not sure Cooley has much left

    how is it clear? i gave u a complete overview of their play from all games.

    ————————————————————

    And your overview was incorrect.

    Kinda pointless to discuss this if you don’t have the game, wouldn’t you say?

    I gave YOU and “overview” of the FIRST 3 PLAYS that COMPLETELY contradict what you said.

    But again, how can we discuss it if we can’t watch it together?

    Like I said, we can table this until you have the SD game on DVR.
    ****************

    well, there a lot of nfl insiders that agree with me, so i guess i feel validated. the kid needs vast improvement and “consistency”, u know the thing DA and tarver keep talking about. u know how they say he doesn’t lead? hmm. could be another sign of his lack of aggressiveness/interest.

    bottom line. look at his tackle totals. not very good, stats don’t lie. he only makes big hits on little guys or when they’re not looking and he has an open path. never seen him fight thru traffic and make a big stick. he’s weak.

    From year 1 in college to year 3 (keep in mind Rolo came out of college young) he went from 75 to 105 tackles…nevermind…freshman stat line not complete enough to make an assessment but you get the jist on how to forecast the subject.

    I’m seeing some throws from Palmer at the end of this 1st qtr that most of the Nation would absolutely KILL Pryor for.

    Just sayin’
    ==================================================
    I don’t have the games on tape, so I’m doing this from memory only – but since you like talking SPECIFIC plays, I’m going to tell you which throw really bothered and concerns me.

    It’s the play immediately preceding the pick on the failed middle screen to Taiwan.

    Palmer is off target and short on that throw. IMO, noticeable lack of velocity and zip on the ball. Admittedly a tough throw, but an elite QB gets the ball there. Palmer wasn’t close.

    Like I said, I don’t have it on tape and I’m not completely sure that pressure wasn’t a mitigating factor, but that throw, in particular, concerns me. Even more so than the brain cramp, bonehead interception on the subsequent play.

    I’m just sayin…you all know he’s not had the same d as long as Lewis and Mayo…if you want to compare stats…there you are…the guy is far from a bust, he’s far from incompetent which is what you are implying.

  210. J Hill Says:

    Coop,

    Rob is going to try and tell you that his tackles were 5yds down the field.

  211. RAIDERMAN99 Says:

    I disagree with this.

    T Jones was held so bad on that play, he was spun around.
    =========================================
    Yes he was. Det should have been flagged and the pick negated. But that doesn’t absolve CP for throwing into that crowd if the intended rcvr isn’t available. He’s got to throw it into the ground or at some legs. He can’t toss that ball the way he did. He’s a vet and should know better. Can’t count on the refs to make the right call.

    Let’s disagree on that. No problem.

    What interests me is what the film meister JH thinks of the preceeding play and throw by CP.

    What happened there ?

  215. eastoaklandraider Says:

    Rolondo needs to get on Patrick Willis’s level before we can say he’s a probowler imo.

  216. CoopeRaider Says:

    Just fire…just trying to find any basis for comparison…I think Ray Lewis and Mayo are just fine to prove my point. Everyone expects Rolo to be superman but don’t understand really what his role actually is. None of you realized how MLB stats stack up.

  217. CoopeRaider Says:

    Eastoak…agree…not saying he’s a pro bowler but who can legitimately say he’s a bust?

  218. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I love Rolando and think he will be one of our best defenders this year, if not THE best defender.

    But Pro Bowls are watered down and worthless these days.

    We all want Romac to be a beast, but reaching Patty Wilis level come on now, hes the best that does it !!!

  224. CoopeRaider Says:

    Rolando had as many sacks as Mayo, Ray Lewis, and Patrick Willis combined…and more tackles than each and every one of them. The guy is far from a bust.

  225. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Jack Crawford needs to play well to earn a roster spot IMO.

    A guy has one good practice, gets hurt in non-contact drills, and doesn’t make a preseason tackle and you want me to think he should be on the 53?

    Cut him, if he makes it through, put him on the PS.

  226. eastoaklandraider Says:

    DHoward cant guard KD and he will be out half the season with back injury LAL still screwed.

    Rolando is one of the best pass-rushing MLB’s in the NFL.

    Not even debatable.

  228. CoopeRaider Says:

    I’m asking someone to look me in the eye and say Rolo is a bust…you may wish he was farther along than he is, but his stat line compares with the elite…far from a bust.

  232. irjonny Says:

    Sure Carson Palmer isn’t Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers but comon some of these posts are pretty knit picky. Let’s consider for a second that the last time we had an MVP QB we lost the SB. All we need is an accountable leader who can read defenses, sling the ball and let our WR make a play on it. We have Darren Mcfadden and a host of potential stars on offense to help…it’s not all up to him and his arm. If Carson throws an INT so what! What’s important is that we have a guy who will take responsibility, look at the pics and pump the offense up for another drive. Let the defense do their job too. I see good things this season and beyond with CP behind center

  233. eastoaklandraider Says:

    Coope….. Romac is def not a bust but he needs to step his game up this year just becuz all the hype he had coming out of college and all the shcit Nick Saban said about him. PWillis came out with virtually no hype I had never even heard of him and that dude is a beast.

  234. CoopeRaider Says:

    No big deal, timing issue.

    Would have been a huge play.

    Zero pressure. Great pocket.

  237. CoopeRaider Says:

    On July 30 Bruce Allen of the Redskins stated that he was working on a trade with the Raiders…at the time he has a 4 million dollar contract to deal with…nothing ever came of it but DC beat writers assumed it was Cooley. Cooley was dropped yesterday by the Redskins due to the emergence of Fred Davis a cheaper option. He hired an agent today due to the fact his died a few years back. From my perspective…all signs lead to the fact he is at least on the radar….would improve our offense more than any other move. RB would be the next thing to focus on but that’s just insurance…Cooley would play every down.

    Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, Tony Romo, Michael Vick, Drew Brees. Take away the spygate super bowls and how many rings are there? 3. These are the “elite” quarterbacks that some of you want CP to emulate.

    Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger. make (sometimes stupid) mistakes and are called out almost every year by the media and fans. good defenses and good running game with young receivers. Count the SB rings.

    I would rather have a great TEAM with a leader who can manage it than a stat machine anyday. Soon as the ball touched the WRs hands it’s out of CPs control. let’s give credit where credit is due and let the rotation of players that is our WR depth chart tell the story of where the blame lay for incompletions and interceptions.

    Raiders need to resign Cooley; he would be a major upgrade at TE.

    It would definately put Ausberry on the bubble if not a long shot.

    Parrish I believe is still on the bubble, afterall Reggie just signed Coye a DB who is also a return man.

    Ihenacho, Cumbie, & Goe3thel are locks barrring a trdae, no way Reggie leets either of them walk to another team w/o getting a draft pick.

    I do see Crawford as a bubble player as well as Kilgore & Burnett; I think at least one of these three make the roster, just not sure which.

    Defensively, Howard is behind Nash, so where is Westbrook going again????

    Just stop it already.

    DHoward doesnt score enough but great D
    Bottom line is OKC iS STILL better TEAM AND I dont even know what upgrades they made

    —-

    Lakers blew 2 games late last year, the gap aint big homie.
    And to say what upgrades?? Nash for all his defensive shortcomings avg the most assits in the league and shot the 3 at the highst clip..

    Nash / sessions – yup its an upgrade

    If jamison and Howard and nash and meeks are not consider upgades then wow i cant help you son.

  276. RAIDERMAN99 Says:

    That play was a throw across the middle to Streater.

    Had to get it over the dropping LB and was a yd wide.

    No big deal, timing issue.

    Would have been a huge play.

    Zero pressure. Great pocket.
    ===============================================
    Zero pressure and great pocket, huh ?

    Just a timing issue ? You sure ?

    Not the way I saw it.

    I didn’t see a pass that was off due to timing or made with extra arc to avoid a dropping LB.

    What I saw there was a once elite arm, that couldn’t get the ball upfield with the accuracy and velocity on a tough throw, like it once could.

    What I saw there was an insight into why Carson Palmer has become TIM Palmer.

    TIM Palmer can’t make all the throws he used to. The once elite arm strength isn’t there anymore.

    Yes, his arm is still good enough. But I submit some of his interception difficulty is due to a drop in arm strength and an inability to adjust to that.

    Call me a hater. Just calling it the way I see it.

  277. KoolKell Says:

    Patrick Willis didn’t have the benefit of Al Davis as the Defensive Coordinator. That Defense has been run on for years and years. Throwing Rolando under the bus for that is wrong.

    Looks pretty good so far this preseason.

    The ball wasn’t underthrown though.

    Ummm…Eli broke about every New York Giants franchise passing record last year, while they were the worst rushing team in the NFL, and had the worst yards per carry of any NFL team in 3 years.

  281. realtruraider Says:

    The offense is going to sneak up on people, including Raider fans. I wasn’t a fan of the knapp hire, but I have a feeling we will be a very explosive offense come next Monday night. We all know the D will surprise, these Chargers never seen a Raider D like this.

    QB’s had a much higher QB rating against the New York Giants defense, than our defense last year.

    JFB

    can talk stats till we are blue in the face. giants had 17 RUSHING TDs, 29 passing tds AS A TEAM. i’m not saying eli isn’t a good qb. i’m saying he isn’t much, if at all better than carson palmer. the giants have a good all around team.

  290. r8eray Says:

    Eli isn’t much better than Carson????

    That is ape-shat crazy, and I am not a Carson basher.

    Eli is a top 15 ALL-TIME NFL QB, and IMO, will go down as better than his brother.

  292. irjonny Says:

    i’m not sure the packers or saints could win without their qb. pretty sure the giants would be okay. that’s my point

  293. raideredoutL.A. Says:

    LOL! Never fails coming on here and reading bout the Lakes. Oh well who cares, I’ll worry about them come May’13 when the real NBA season starts. As far as that Palmer throw, I thought it was rookie WR who wasn’t ready for the ball, yeah CP could’ve lead him better but it still should’ve been a 1st down catch.

    good talkn with yall i’m out gotta spend some time with the lady yall be safe RAIDER FAM PEACE AND CHICKEN GREASE.

  295. irjonny Says:

    i’m in agreement with you that eli is a HOF. can you just let the analogy be what it is instead of trying to tear apart the reasoning? either you get the point or you don’t. whether or not you think you know more about football than me is irrelevant…like Chandler Harnish

  296. Bob Marley Says:

    Not crazy about these older, injury-prone players.

    Roscoe Parrish has only played in 35 out of 64 games over the last 4 seasons, this guy is even more fragile than Moore and Ford.

    Chris Cooley was never much of a blocker, he used to be a very good receiving TE but has missed 20 games over the last 3 seasons because of a bad knee.

    I think Parrish is far from a lock to make the team and if they want to bring Cooley in, better work him out first, see how his knee is holding up and if it can handle 16 games first.

  297. J Hill Says:

    Top 15 all time?????

    WOW!

  298. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Since Eli’s first playoff lose when he was in his 2nd year, he is 8-2 in the playoffs with 17 TD’s and 5 INT’s, two game-winning Super Bowl drives.

    Playing against the leagues best competition!!!!

    Dude is money.

  299. Just Fire Baby Says:

    either you get the point or you don’t. whether or not you think you know more about football than me is irrelevant

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

    I’m not here to beat my chest and say I know more than you, that is a pointless argument that can never be proven.

    And I do get your point, I just don’t agree with it.

    You can’t compare a guy with two Super Bowl wins when he WAS the best player on his team in at least one of the seasons, to a guy with ZERO playoff victories.

  300. raideredoutL.A. Says:

    Reece can have a bigger impact than a Cooley. Where the hell has he been though?

  301. J Hill Says:

    Tyree’s head catch Welker not making that catch = 2 plays that have Eli super bowlless.

    It’s a team game, FOR SURE!!!!!

  302. irjonny Says:

    again….and for the last time. i agree with you JFB. eli is a good qb.

    would the colts and saints have a recent SB without peyton and brees? absolutely not.

    would the giants have won at least one SB with another QB? IMO that’s debatable

    that’s the point. i’m over it

    in other news i am on the cooley train. nothing wrong with using him as a pass catching TE in two TE sets with myers. kinda dangerous if ya think about it. the pricetag might be a problem though

  303. Bob Marley Says:

    By the way, I don’t think we’re gonna give a roster spot to Roscoe Parrish just because he can return punts.

    I think the Raiders wanna get familiar with him this week and then cut him and McCann on monday, maybe pick one of them up again a couple of days later if Ford and Moore remain out for MNF.

  304. irjonny Says:

    haha! reeled me back in JFB. cool i get your point and it’s valid. i guess i was trying to point out that carson’s inconsistency reminds me of when eli was on the chopping block before he won a sb that season. the team carried him to greatness and now you’re right…he is elite. just saying the raiders are a good all around team and don’t need to rely so heavily on baller stats from CP every game like some other teams.

  305. raideredoutL.A. Says:

    Sad to say this season will rely on #20 again. Just don’t think we’ll win by throwing the ball 35+ times.

  306. J Hill Says:

    who are you going to cut to bring Cooley in?

  307. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I like Carson, like is gunslinger mentality, and he has weeks (not enough to make him elite, but….) where he is the best player on the field.

    I think we can and should win the division with him this year.

    I just think Eli is massively underrated. He comes into tough road games, against elite teams, down points with the brightest of lights on, and is absolute nails, like EVERYTIME.

    Unlike his brother, who crapped the bed in those situations more often than not.

    Agreed.

    Reece should get a ton of looks in that hybrid role.

  318. irjonny Says:

    here’s my reasoning for the cooley pickup:

    2 TE sets. cooley is baller in the open field and as long as we use him very sparingly as a blocker he should stay healthy and keep the defense guessing. We can rotate TEs for different roles.

  319. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Susana Martinez is about to give New Mexico it’s best pub since Los Alamos helped create the A-bomb.

    imagine Streater and DHB wide.Reece and DMC in the backfield with Myers and Cooley in at TE.

    That’s 2 designated WR that can shift into 6!! 5 with a play action!!

    Reece can have a bigger impact than a Cooley. Where the hell has he been though?

    ***********
    I’m expecting Reece to have a huge night against the chargers. You know Carson is aware of Reece. You know Saunders is aware of him. And you know that if Allen and Knapp watched any kind of film on the team then you know they’re aware of what kind of match-up weapon he is. He was even mentioned during the offseason as a key. So I have to believe that they are holding that for the opener.

    I keep hearing coaches and former players say that the preseason is used to go through “vanilla” stuff and evaluate personnel, so I’m hoping that’s true in our case.

  323. J Hill Says:

    If Cooley is so good, why did a sorry arse offensive team like Wash cut him???

    Yeah, I’m not one to get all worked up over every player who hits the waiver wire.

  327. Bob Marley Says:

    Irjonny.

    You’re right, I agree that we cold use a more dynamic weapon at TE out there, been calling for improvement there all pre-season, I’m just not sure Cooley is that guy, even if he has some game left, his health is a major question mark, work him out I say, then make the call.

    We roll with Oscar Meyers, Auz, and Flash

  331. irjonny Says:

    True… cooley isn’t getting any more durable. Not impressed with our TE so far this preseason though. hopefully reg and DA have a plan to address this. who knows maybe the answer is already on the roster but we haven’t seen regular season packages yet

  332. J Hill Says:

    Ausberry????

    He’s the closet thing to what evryone is asking for.

  334. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I have been impressed with Ausberry’s blocking from what I have seen this preseason.

    I would be more willing to let Gordon go, if Cooley grades out by The Reggie as a decent-to-quality blocker.

  335. RaiderRetribution Says:

    WR more important to Carson’s play than TE, I do not ever recall his TEs being leading recievers.

    Raiders victories dependent on these key factors:

    1) Carson’s accuracy

    2) Vehldeer keeping Carson upright aand opening holes for McFadden

    4) consistent play from WR corp

    5) stopping the run by the Raiders DL & LB

    6) sacks

    7) DBs preventing the big play

    8) penalties

    9) turnover battle

    10) turnover battle and penalties.

    TE least of my concern, if nothing else we can move Barksdale to RT and Barnes to TE, just need to change his jersey number.

    Gunslingers don’t throw to the TEs much.

    50 catches from the TE isnot happening with Palmer at QB.

  343. J Hill Says:

    How many catches did that dynamic TE Zach Miller have last year?

  344. RaiderRetribution Says:

    Gordon has greater upside than Ausberry, he is a solid blocker can build on his recieving skills;

    reverse for Ausberry will be more difficult;

    Ausberry might need to be converted back to WR.

    Maybe if Palmer ever gets a decent TE he would throw it to him.

    I’ve been rooting for him since I read about him last season when he was on the PS. Looks good in preseason and the Raiders need him for depth. #53 makes the team.

  352. J Hill Says:

    I’d rather Palmer continue to have the WRs as the primary read, with the checkdown to McFadden or Jones.

    I’m fine with the TE who can block first and make and 8yd play.

  353. Bob Marley Says:

    Back in 2010, the Bengals, for the first time in his career, gave Carson Palmer a quality TE in 1st Round pick Jermaine Gresham, Palmer and Gresham hooked up for 52 passes in 15 games.

    Give him a good TE and Palmer will use him.

    Is there a LB or S that can cover him????

  357. irjonny Says:

    j hill

    yeah i guess it really depends on knapps playbook. it does make it easier to forgo the pass catching TE as a priority when we have players like reece

  358. Chris in NY Says:

    Cork pretty much nailed it here.

    Would be shocked if any of the 43 “locks” don’t make it. As for the last 10 spots, I say it goes:

    - DVD
    - Chekwa
    - Pat Lee
    - Brandon Underwood
    - Dom Hamilton
    - Cumbie
    - Ihenacho
    - Goethel
    - Goodson or Miller (whoever plays better in Seattle with a tie prob going to Goodson)
    - McCann

    That said, I believe several of these players and even a few of the “locks” are likely to get bumped once the front office sorts through other cuts across the league.

  359. J Hill Says:

    Sifting through it all, you want a TE who is a playmaker in the passing game.

    Why is Ausberry not that guy?

  360. raideredoutL.A. Says:

    Hate to talk smack about pros, but Goodson and Miller look like scrubs.

  361. Chris in NY Says:

    Myers to me is the lock as starting TE right now. If we go out and sign a Cooley or a Shockey (who I’d prefer) it would make sense to send Ausberry to practice squad for a year. Gordon is the blocking TE and prob has more ST value.

  362. J Hill Says:

    Yeah, I like Miller and his sure 3yds as a big back right about now.

  363. Just Fire Baby Says:

    I like Myers as a quality all-around TE, but not sure many NFL TE’s turn 7 yard catches into 6 yard gains catches better than him.

    Reggie Mckenzie’s first trade was to acquire RB Mike Goodson.

    I think Goodson and Miller are both on thin ice, regardless if one or both make it to the initial 53. Lot of intriguing backs out there. Miller, who I liked coming in, has looked unspectacular and Goodson hasn’t been much better and I don’t see how his potential skill rewards come anywhere near balancing the fumbling risk.

    I like Myers as a quality all-around TE, but not sure many NFL TE’s turn 7 yard catches into 6 yard gains catches better than him.

    Dude needs to bust out some James Brown on the weekends and learn to swivel them hips a little!!!!

    Look guys …

    Find us a Jimmy Graham, Hernandez, or Gronkowski type, and I’ll gladly take him.

    Buy I would still want DMac, Reece, DHB, D Moore, Streater, and Criner to ALL get looks before the TE did.

    And he better be able to block like Richard Gordan we we run or have the TE stay in on passing downs!!!!!

    Why you hate JFORD???

  376. Bob Marley Says:

    Brandon Myers would not start for any other NFL team, he’s a quality back-up for some teams and 3rd teamer for others.

    We can do a lot better and I hope the Gordon-Ausberry TE combo and Reece’s hybrid role gradually reduce Myers playing time as the season goes on.

    -Bush had 3.8 yds per carry last year
    -Miller during preseason so far, 3.1. He needs .7 yds more to equal Bush’s numbers from last year. lol I don’t mind him making the team and our line play should improve once Wiz returns.

  388. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Myers looks pretty good without the ball in his hands. He can block well, runs decent enough routes to get open, has solid hands, plays great special teams.

    But he gets the rock in his paws and looks like Gheorghe Muresan.

    Exactly what you look for in a back-up.

    And if by routes you mean releasing of the line and running 5-6 yards down the field before turning back into the backfield and sitting there waiting for a dump-off…yes he runs decent routes!.

    I don’t recall ever seeing Myers actually run a route over 10 yards, get position on his man and then make the catch on the run.

    The Raiders TE needs to block. Period.

    When u get that crew of Irvin, Prime Time, Mooch and Faulk, it always turns into a self stroking love fest.

    Irvin- “Yes…but i’m gonna send it over to the ultimate hofamer who knows all about what we’re talking about…i’m talking about PRIME…TIIIIME”.

    BTW.

    I try hard not to get irritated by this but Rich fing Gannon…what is his freaking problem?

    He was a very good, if not great QB for us (until the SB), but his “predictions” in regard to the Raiders go beyond “unbiased analysis”.

    He is such a dik nowadays.

    Pirate,

    No starting TE????

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

    Unfortunately :)

    Actually, I list the first group as “core players” and don’t think TE Brandon Myers falls into that category even if by default he gets listed first on the depth chart. At this point I think it will turn out to be a rotation based on gameplan, down and distance, etc.

  410. DJ Johnny Says:

    JFB,

    I know but it’d be nice if we had the same love from our former guys like Pit, NE and some other teams do.

    You look at the guys from the 70’s? Raiders for life.

    Guys from the Gruden era? They hate the Raiders.

    You’re right…winning cures everything.

  411. Just Fire Baby Says:

    You look at the guys from the 70’s? Raiders for life.

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

    Yeah, but they are not members of the national media like these Gruden era guys.

    Win the West, and the coolness of the Raiders will come back, and the bandwagon will be standing room only.

  412. DJ Johnny Says:

    Carson Palmer is huuuuuge for how this will all go down.

    How happy would you guys be if u woke up tom morning and you saw a new post entitled: “Raiders name Al Saunders OC…Knapp demoted to offensive asst.”?

  413. DJ Johnny Says:

    Wow! Didn’t realize start of the season is one week from tonight.

    Giants v. Cowboys? Good matchup.

  414. The Big Banana Says:

    He is such a dik nowadays.

    ——

    DJ, truth be told Rich was always a bit of a dik. Ask the guys he played with. He criticized the team even while playing here.

  415. The Big Banana Says:

    @Vegas – you said Encore has a sports book? Haven’t seen it, tho I haven’t looked very hard yet to be honest.

  416. DJ Johnny Says:

    Yes JFB. This is a society based on WINNING…People love winners. Despite overweight gym teachers wanting to give equal awards to every kid that “tries”. “We don’t want ANY kids to feel bad”.

    I digress.

    Just the way it is…the winners get all the love..as it should be i guess.

  417. DJ Johnny Says:

    Banana,

    Yeah i’ve heard that.

    I think it probably stung a little bit when Herrera banned him from the lockerroom and talked about his 5 int’s in the SB…Ha.

  418. Raider O Says:

    I don’t understand why some fans are salivating over C Cooley.
    Cooley is the same player as Reece, and Reece is younger, faster, and more durable.

  419. DJ Johnny Says:

    Good point O.

    Reece at TE makes sense in a lot of ways.

    I don’t think they’re gonna go there though.

  420. Raider O Says:

    Eff Gannon.
    The guy was an avg QB who was a great fit in our/ Gruden’s scheme and had 4 great great/ PB/ MVP years.
    4 great years in his 17+ years in Yhe NFL, and some of you want to put him in the HOF?!

    Gannon,
    You threw 5 INTs in the SB. 5 MFer! Get over it!

  421. Mr Green Says:

    :mrgreen:

    Just woke up. Can someone tell me why the game starts at 7 and not 5? So much excitement here in Seattle for tomorrow nights game. But if you are a hawks fan I’m sure the fun will end shortly after kickoff.

    50 yard line right behind the Raidahs. OH YEAH!

  422. DJ Johnny Says:

    A. Siciliano said this morning “well everybody’s talking about the Jets not scoring any td’s in the preseason but the Raiders are having almost as much difficulty getting into the endzone”.

    Let’s see. 27 pts. vs. AZ and 31 vs. Lions.

    Siciliano is one of the voices of the Rams tv network. Play by play guy….and…dumbazz.

  423. Raider O Says:

    DJ,

    Same size too (6′3 245), and both have issues with blocking.
    Btw, I don’t care what we call Reece (FB, HB, or TE) as long as we use him the right way. He is faster than LBs and bigger than DBs, and he has great hands.
    Use him Knapp.

I wonder how much raider stuff they watch..not. Half as much as anyone in here. As an example, Gannon talking about his concern for the raider o (raider o that had almost 300yds and 10min more t.o.p. than the lions all in the first half) and how Palmer is “off on all his throws.” a week earlier he was bragging about how new receivers can make qbs look bad. Hey Gannon…how good do you look throwing to un undrafted wr, McGee, and a fifth round rookie. Piss me off man.

  431. RaiderRetribution Says:

    Ihenacho & Goethel are locks;

    No way we start the season with only two sure starting linebackers;

    McClain’s legal troubles still looming, Curry’s knees may never heal.

    So with Ihenacho, Goethel, Wheeler, and Burris that leaves only four Linebackers we know can play/start each and every game this season.

    Kilgore and Burnett each have a shot at 53 , ps at the very least, but I don’t think they’ll clear waivers.

    Was Sully the guy too “Cornfucious” that he started to speak to himself???

    Ha. Not sure Mex.

  469. DJ Johnny Says:

    Wow. What a list.

    I know a few guys who changed names. I can tell by their styles and unique opinions.

  470. Intrepid Says:

    DJ, he lost track of which sock puppet he was while cross-posting and totally outed himself.

    ===
    Really??? Ha. That’s funny. I’ve seen others do that and people not even notice.

  473. Intrepid Says:

    that was from April 25th (day before draft)and Sully, KK and Method aren’t on there. I think KK finally made a pick, doubt sully did and got no idea why Method isn’t there.

  474. DJ Johnny Says:

    Nite yall.

  475. DJ Johnny Says:

    …you mean Raider Riff now?

  476. Intrepid Says:

    Should be a similar list from before last season that RR put together for the MUP list.(most improved player)

  477. Intrepid Says:

    Raider Riff isn’t Method.

  478. DJ Johnny Says:

    I remember that list and kudos to him for putting it all together. I think he was the one who did the predictions every week?

  479. rob_raider Says:

    at first i figured RaiderRob must be beechum and he was gonna say some stupid sh!t about me, but he seems to ignore me altogether, even when i asked him about it. confusing. he also acts as if he’s been around here for a long time, but i’ve never seen him before the last few days.

    Raider Riff isn’t Method.

    Ha. Well..shows what I know. Riff was answering to people referring to him as method as if he was method.

    Lol…I can’t keep up.

    I remember when everyone thought I was Beech. I admit that I posted as Oak, and a slew of others, but don’t ever think I’m Beech.
    Man just doesn’t have any class.
    —————
    Yeah, you don’t either.
    ==================================================
    Who you talking to, you fat tub of lard?
    Tell me how much class it takes to spend your anniversary on this blog?
    How much class is it to admit you sit at home, all day, every day, while your wife works?
    How much class is it to ask your wife for money to get a haircut?
    About as much class as running through the parking lot at Safeway, chasing Randy Moss, as he’s running away from that geeky fat boy, chasing him between cars.
    BTW:pretty ignorant for you to admit all of the above, classless clown.
    ==========================================

    Troll, this is the saddest attempt ANY ONE has EVER made to clone me. Fat tub of lard? BTW? You melted down earlier today and this is the best you can do? Man, sucks to be you. But keep the Seymour Bush name as my gift. Loser.

    I’m trying to help you clean this up but I;m getting tired. You can do some for a while and then we’ll add more names.

  483. rob_raider Says:

    cooley was on 24 hr waivers so we may find out tomorrow if the raiders are going after him. i would like to see it. i think the raiders have a solid team this year.

    weak points include:

    1) seymour. he’s still capable if healthy but not what he was. this arthritic knee has kept him out a lot. wouldn’t be completely surprised to see him retire. but houston looks great, bryant is solid, and bilukidi has upside.

    2) mcclain. i hope he takes the next step. i’m just not impressed by him at all. but there’s no way to replace him just yet. he is caught in limbo. not good but not bad enuff to pull the plug yet.

    3) huff. just ordinary. seems to be a better nickel guy than a safety actually. never makes any plays. he’s here for now but i think gio is better.

    4) TE. myers is just so-so. gordon a blocker. ausberry still trying to be a TE. cooley would take care of this until ausberry develops.

  484. Intrepid Says:

    RaiderRob 100% pure troll. Hasn’t said one positive thing about any Raider or to anybody here.

  485. Intrepid Says:

    All right Smuckers, you inspired me.

  486. rob_raider Says:

    i think RaiderRob may be sullivan/alex. copping my name b/c he thinks i have a decent rep here and he can use it to fuk with people. he has refused to respond when i’ve asked who he is, similar to sullivan and alex.

  487. rob_raider Says:

    for the record, i’ve only had real issues with sullivan and beechum. sullivan cuz he’s a complete dick and anti-raider, to a ridiculous point. and beechum b/c even though he borders on humorous at times, he is actually really creepy, with the constant talk about wang and being a master and all of his minions. it’s impossible to get him to make any sense and he never talks raiders. just annoying as can be. and his taste in music is absurd.

  488. Intrepid Says:

    No, sully is easy to spot. Beech is a waste of time, which is why I can’t see him being Klas. Still trying to figure Klas out, but no matter, he’s OK. RaiderRob might just be a new troll we picked up with the season approaching. Picked up or came down with. Hah.

  489. alex7 Says:

    whoa Rob, how does my name come up in that mix? bad, bad.

  490. alex7 Says:

    I’m the guy who Method owes $20 to, which he’ll never pay, despite me giving him my work address to send it to.

    I was a bit more realistic about the games we would lose last year than he was.

  491. Intrepid Says:

    I’ll have to go back and scan some Raider Riff postsnow, but I don’t think it’s Method. If he is he wouldn’t deny it.

  492. Rip Van Wynkle Says:

    My My. Awfully quiet in here tonight. Maybe the trolls are sleeping. Will be at the game tomorrow night at cellular field. Hope I can get there before kickoff, as the seattle traffic is pretty jammed and parking is tight, and expensive. Haven’t been this jazzed about QBs’ in quite some time. Palmer will be fine and TP is electric. Lookin forward to the game, especially with the new and improved D.

  493. Mr. Heisman Lombardi Says:

    RRRRAAAAIIIIDDDEEERRRSSS!!!!!!

  494. Intrepid Says:

    Nope, Raider Riff definitely is not Method, but Method is sure Klas is Sully. I can’t see it, Klas is just too upbeat.

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

    MR/Sullivan is one troll. There are others who come here to try to eff with the Raider community. That group of trolls is beeecham amongst others. I kicked his ass on this blog hard today and they used a proxy server to post as me. They can have the name. I will use another.

  497. RaiderDuck Says:

    I’m not as bullish on Goodson as Cork is. Methinks #25 needs a good game with no fumbles tomorrow night.

  498. rob_raider Says:

    alex–aren’t u sullivan? or at least anti-raider?

  499. rob_raider Says:

    goodson is a lock. he’s a good runner. some fumbling issues and now apparently some injuries. but we got a steal in that trade. he’s very capable of giving us good stuff if dmc gets nicked up. it’s a body of work. he has proven that when he gets the rock, he’s pretty good.

    OK I am done. Please add names to the list that aren’t here. I know I’ve missed some. Keep them in alphabetical order.

    We are the most popular blog in the world as you can see.

    *************************************
    Thank You. And I’ll be forthright here, I mostly handle as smuckers (best dog I ever had) but just did the holiday ornament because of someone I thought looked like one. I know some post under multi handles, but confusing trying to tab them. But the list of names is amusing. Add names that are missing.

    I’ve been a realist the last few years, but certainly not anti-Raider. Grew up with them in L.A., have gone to plenty of their games, used to sell all their classic games (Holy Roller, Ghost to the Post, the SBs, the Monday Night classic vs Miami in 84) til the NFL told me to knock it off :)

    I was even a writer for them on raidernews.com

    But I didn’t drink the cool-aid the last few years and was honest about how bad they were, and that got me labeled anti-raider by some.

  505. dcraiderfan Says:

    QBs Locks was a mistake! As long as the Raiders keep Palmer and Leinart the team will be 2-14 for the season. Bring Gannon on as QB coach. Bring in Vince Young, re-engineer his practices and at least we will 6-8 games! Salvage the season now! Go Raiders!!!

    So here it is, the final preseason game with a few bouts taking place.

    First off we have an undercard event with Stupar/Burnett/Kilgore, followed by the featherweight battle between DVD & Chekwa, the heavyweight reserve spot or 2 going to be fought for by Cumbie/Hamilton/Crawford, the weekly inactive big ugly spot with Nix the top contender and finally the grudge match of the night featuring Mike “butter-fingers” Goodson & Lonyae “don’t call me Lonnie” Miller!!

    Lonyae Miller, Travionte Session & Dominique Hamilton are practice squad candidates. Aaron Curry remains on the PUP list

    Underwood heads to the UFL

    good point -

    Nix, Burnett & Kilgore are also practice squad candidates…

    Russell Wilson will play like Marc Wilson

  517. RaiderRockstar Says:

    the game is at 9pm Podunk time, dang!

    Tom Cable will get sucker punched by a replacement ref

    Matt Flynn will get picked by Coye Francies [revenge game]

  518. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Dan, O & Intrepid;

    thanks for asking about me this week. I’m doing well

    I’m just working hard and I’ve decided to take my job a little more seriously since I’m shooting for that promotion. Really want to impress the Prez and I realized this is not just about me. I’ve got a wife & son at home. A promotion to management would make it much easier to have a 2nd kid financially and my wife could probably just quit her job if she wanted to. Not content in just having enough to pay the bills at middle class. Time to be a man, take charge, add some responsibility and see what happens

    I’m still here, just posting at odd hours & hopefully during games [weekends]

    miss you guys. Go Raiders!!

    Yeah man, either way I won’t read much in to this game, don’t expect to see many starters play much..

  537. hwnrdr Says:

    That’s true…I expect the first series to be starters and ten its on to the “can you make the team” show!

  538. TxRaider210 Says:

    Yeah I’m really pulling for Chekwa and DVD, we need to see some promise from those two asap.

  539. DJ Johnny Says:

    Last night Eli played into the 2nd quarter. Palmer may play that long as well.

    Even though it’s 4th preseason game the crowd in Seattle is always loud…they have that stadium configured to echo and I suspect they even pipe in noise.

    The thing to watch for as Hwnrdr points out is guys doing what they can to show they deserve to be on the team.

    22 guys who are here tonight won’t be here next week.

  540. DIRT-LOT FOOTBALL Says:

    JUST HOPE NO ONE GETS HURT.THEN THE TEAM HAS A NICE LITTLE STRETCH B4 THE OPENER ON 10-SEPTEMBER.MR.MCKENZIE AND ALLEN CAN GET THE BEST FINAL ROSTER THEY CAN AND THE 2012 REGULAR SEASON IS HERE..

  541. TxRaider210 Says:

    I’m hoping for no more than a quarter of play from CP and DMC, don’t want to take time from the new guys trying to earn a spot..

  542. hwnrdr Says:

    Agreed Dirt Lot! Hope no one gets hurt! Reading up on Cumbie yesterday…I’m rooting for him to make the team! But oh well…he will be a long shot!

    Good read guys, don’t expect DA to risk injuries tonight.

  544. DJ Johnny Says:

    Does anyone remember there was a stretch where Raiders were literally shut out (zero pts.) for 3 straight games? I can’t recall what yr. it was, but I was trying to figure out who our QB was for those games.

    Someone dropped the name of Marc Wilson and that stretch of shutouts immediately came to mind.

    I don’t know how we could be shut out 3 straight games but i’m almost sure it happened.

    Give the ball to Leinart 1st half (if he’s ready) or just let Pryor entertain us for 60 mins.

    There are only 2 guys we can’t do without this season, Palmer and McFadden, sit them.

    Remember Oren O’Neal’s knee injury covering the kickoff in a preseason game? costed him his career, sh** happens.

    Oakland Raiders: When you spend what little free agency money you do have on a guard, that guard better be good. Unfortunately, Mike Brisiel looked over-matched against a powerful Lions line and spent most of the game being driven backwards. A worrying sign of things to come?.

    I thought one of the ZBS strongest selling points was that you could find OL suited for the scheme seemingly “out of nowhere”, then we go and spent our money on Brisiel and our 3rd round pick on another Guard?.

    They better be good, that being said, you can’t fault people for investing in OL and DL, games are won in the trenches.

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

    And to think we had a deal in place for John Elway that Pete Rozelle killed!.

    Ron Wolf, among others talked about it:

    “John Elway a Raider?.

    According to two people with knowledge of a potential pre-draft trade, the Colts had reached a deal to send the No. 1 pick of the 1983 draft to the Raiders — only to have the deal blocked by NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle.

    “We almost had Elway, but Pete Rozelle voided the trade,” former Raiders personnel man Ron Wolf told The Star-Ledger last week.

    “We had the trade set up with Baltimore, but Pete wouldn’t let it happen.”

    Rozelle and Raiders owner Davis spent many years in the 1980s in courtrooms over the Raiders’ move from Oakland to Los Angeles, among other issues. Simply put, the two didn’t like each other.

    Ernie Accorsi, then the GM of the Colts, now the Giants’ GM, confirmed a deal was in place with the Raiders that would have netted Baltimore an unprecedented three No. 1 picks and two No. 2s. One of the No. 1s, Accorsi said, would have been the sixth overall, which the Raiders had arranged to acquire from the Bears.

    “Yeah, it’s never been written, but I was going to make the deal only if it included getting back a top 10 pick,” Accorsi said. “I wanted to make sure we still got (Hall of Fame quarterback) Dan Marino. I wasn’t going to trade Elway for anything less than the best package ever.”

    Wolf said he didn’t know the details of the almost-trade, but said he was was told by someone in the Colts’ organization that “it was much better” than what Baltimore later received from the Broncos for Elway after the draft. That deal included back-up QB Mark Hermann, tackle Chris Hinton and a first-round draft pick.

    The deal apparently had been made by Davis and late Colts owner Robert Irsay.

    So what happened?.

    “Irsay capitulated with the commissioner,” Wolf said.

    Even late Bears general manager Jim Finks was baffled. Accorsi said he called him and said: “Are we getting (played) here? Because somebody’s killed the deal, and it’s not me.”

    All parties thought a trade was set for the glamour-boy quarterback to land with the Raiders and Davis.

    Irsay was worried that Elway would use his minor-league contract with the Yankees as leverage to never play for the Colts. While Accorsi tried to hold firm and call Elway’s bluff, teams often went over the GM’s head and called Irsay with offers.

    So, before the draft, when someone from the Raiders called Accorsi and said, “Mr. Davis wants to know what it would take to get the rights to Elway,” the response was, “You don’t have the arsenal.”

    Accorsi wanted the three No. 1s and a No. 2 — with a top 10 choice. The Raiders had the 26th choice in Round 1, but were prepared to send Chicago several players to also acquire the sixth spot. Accorsi agreed to accept the Raiders’ No. 1 pick in 1984, too.

    Everything was in place — except the final go-ahead from Rozelle. That never came.

    “Davis had his suspicions that Pete killed it,” Accorsi said. “All I knew was I was going to get the best deal ever or I wasn’t trading him.”

    True to his word, Accorsi didn’t trade Elway. Irsay did.

    Now, let the record show that all that prevented Elway from becoming a Raider was Rozelle.”

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Agreed, but it seemed like he held on to the ball forever then got sacked or hit. Where Plunkett would make things happen even though he was older and slower. Plunkett was just a winner. I’ll never forget that playoff game against the pats in 85. Marcus Allen killed it that day but we lost due to 4 or 5 picks by Wilson. I think Plunk was injured so nobody could save us.

    That play was a throw across the middle to Streater.

    Had to get it over the dropping LB and was a yd wide.

    No big deal, timing issue.

    Would have been a huge play.

    Zero pressure. Great pocket.
    ===============================================
    Zero pressure and great pocket, huh ?

    Just a timing issue ? You sure ?

    Not the way I saw it.

    I didn’t see a pass that was off due to timing or made with extra arc to avoid a dropping LB.

    What I saw there was a once elite arm, that couldn’t get the ball upfield with the accuracy and velocity on a tough throw, like it once could.

    What I saw there was an insight into why Carson Palmer has become TIM Palmer.

    TIM Palmer can’t make all the throws he used to. The once elite arm strength isn’t there anymore.

    Yes, his arm is still good enough. But I submit some of his interception difficulty is due to a drop in arm strength and an inability to adjust to that.

    Call me a hater. Just calling it the way I see it.
    @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

    Pat Kirwan agrees with you. An angry Palmer hater called into Sirus yesterday and Kirwan didn’t even try to talk him off the ledge. He said Palmer deserves all the criticism he’s taking and that he’s got to clean up his game in a hurry. He said he was scratching his head at the two picks where Palmer basically ignored the safety over the top and that he thinks that Palmer’s arm has looked erratic. He cited some throws that I had chalked up to misscommunications as evidence that his arm is “inconsistent” compared to where it was a few years ago when he believed that Palmer had one of the best arms in ever. I need to go back and look at some of those throws, but if it’s a physical thing, I’ll lay off the guy a little bit. The boneheaded stuff has got to stop though.

    Does anyone remember there was a stretch where Raiders were literally shut out (zero pts.) for 3 straight games? I can’t recall what yr. it was, but I was trying to figure out who our QB was for those games.

    Someone dropped the name of Marc Wilson and that stretch of shutouts immediately came to mind.

    I don’t know how we could be shut out 3 straight games but i’m almost sure it happened.
    llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

    1981. Plunkett and wilson shared the job. I think the distraction of moving to la la land the next season may have factored into that. It was strange getting goose egged three games in a row. Plus the were coming off the Super Bowl victory vs the eagles. Remember it all to well.

    Really? I don’t think Reggie does disagree with me. I think Reggie is sharp enough to know Rome can’t be built in a day. I think Reggie is aware that we are paper thin at almost every position on the field. I think Reggie addressed what he could with the limited ammo he has, and will address a few more spots depending on what the talent level that is cut down tomorrow is. We are all aware of the razors edge we are walking on, in that if DMAC goes down our season is over. This is a process, and Reggie has YEARS of mismanagement to repair. I believe Reggie will have this team poised to be a perenial contender in 2 years, not yet though. You can say I am not sharp, or argue my football knowledge, or tell me I am not a true fan all you want… Won’t change the outcome of the season.

Moore will miss his fourth consecutive preseason game Thursday night, but it sounds like he’ll be on the practice field next week. While Moore is going to be a dicey and ultimately non-recommended fantasy start against the Chargers, he’s still on track to make an early-season impact.

    Raids will almost certainly be dogs in their first 5 games.

    They are getting points at home against SD. That could change when the sharpies start hitting the line. Raids are 5-1 against SD the past 6 games and match up well, despite last years finale.

    Raids will probably be getting points week 2 in Miami. Miami has whacked us the last 2 meetings.

    Raids will be dogs at home vs. the Squeelers week 3.

    Raids will be dogs on the road vs. the Mules week 4.

    Raids will have a bye and be a dog on the road vs. Atl week 6.

    First game Raids will be favored doesn’t come til week 7 when we host Jax.

    Another reason to hate the whiners. The first Raider game I saw live was at Dallas in 86. Our defense was playing lights out in that game but Wilson kept throwing picks. Plunkett came off the bench and went on to throw two TD’s in a come from behind win 17-13.

    You might have disagreed with me on something, but we never publicly argued.

    Im not an Al Davis hate by any means. There’s a lot about the guy I liked, and a bit that I didnt like.

    Everything here is always an either/or situation and that just isnt how life works. Some people get so caught up in their beliefs that they all of a sudden start HATING Al Davis to prove their point.

    Im not one of those.

    Its the same with most of the hot bed issues here. Such as Jamarcus Russel. I know mistakes were made on both sides. The Jamarcus apologists are right in the things theyve said, and so are the people who bash Jamarcus. It just not an either/or situation.

    But one thing you will never see me do is bash Al’s eye for talent. He made a lot of mistakes over the years but getting this team talent in FA or the draft wasnt one of them.

    I have friend who lives in Chicago. It is two different cities in one. Downtown and north side are the greatest. South side is like apocalyptic gang land. If you not black and poor no reason to ever venture south.

    Chicago has a lot of different neighborhoods. For instance, there is an area called “Bridgeport” which is smack in the middle of the south side and is predominantly white. Used to be Irish. It’s where Mayor Daley (both of ‘em) are from. Then u have mostly Hispanic neighborhoods rivaling those of the hardcore ones of East LA on Chi’s. west side.

    Still to this day there is a nice Italian neighborhood on the northwest side where my grandparents are buried.

    There’s a grocery store I went in where everybody was speaking Italian.

    It’s not like it used to be as races, creeds and colors are all kind of merging together now.

    Easy money is betting the underdog of every single game. You will win more than you lose. It’s been that way every single season since the league went heavy on the parody (pretty much the free agency era).

    Riff,

    I never understood why Al didn’t draft more DEs in the 1st 2 rounds the last decade.

    ————

    The “game changers” were already gone. Remember, he wanted Seymour badly.

    The guys the Giants got were something nobody saw coming. Whomever that scout was we should have hired and paid big bucks too.

    DE’s never go out of style. Any era.

    Take it any way you want. You’ve got nothing substantive or worthwhile to say in response.

    Why would I waste anything worthwhile on you? Youre bitter because youve lost miserably in every argument weve ever had. People come out of the woodworks to post in agreeance with me and they pretty much relegate you to KK/Sully troll status.

    When youve actually been to a game, then talk to me. Until then, youre just a loser who cant afford to leave his own house.

    As for the “arrogant putz” comment, I actually wear that with a badge of honor. Ive been labeled arrogant my whole life by people who were jealous about their inferior lives/intellect/accomplishments. So thanks for the compliment.
    ===============================================
    Riffy boy, this loser can probably buy and sell you many times over.

    And you are an arrogant, condescending putz. The fact that you acknowledge this, but think that it’s only due to people being inferior or jealous of you indicates you’re seriously disturbed. Most arrogant cornholes usually are.

    Your posts on gambling are comical. You obviously know next to nothing about it. Of course, being the arrogant douchenozzle that you are, you’ve probably convinced yourself that you’re an expert in that arena as well. Hysterical.

    At least a small portion of your football posts have some merit, and you are a Raider fan. Stick to that. You’re not entirely worthless.

    We are a 10-6 football team at worst. 12-4 if we can split the “maybe” games.

    The “maybe” was Riff’s…I put the L. I also made a mistake putting “W” next to Ravens game.

    Keep in mind that I did that based on the naysaying media hacks and how they would view this schedule not I personally see it playing out.

    I don’t know what to think yet until I see how we play and see how some of thse other teams look, but man….that is a TOUGH schedule and if we rae to get to 11-5, 10-6? We are gonna have to play at an almost elite level club. And if we do get to 11-5, 10-6….we ARE an elite club based on the sched.

    We’re gonna have to beat some perennial playoff teams and win heated division rival games. Even the so called “easy” games against “bad” teams like Miami….AT Miami, to a team we don’t normally beat under any circumstances.

    We are gonna have to be damn good.

    The NFL has pushed the trading deadline back to the Tuesday after the eighth week of the season.
    It’s a much-needed change. Previously, the deadline was the Tuesday following Week 6, not giving teams enough time to decide if they’re buyers or sellers. The extra two weeks has the potential to generate more trades. Also, the league announced that there will be a new “injured reserve exception” going forward. One player per team will be allowed to come off IR at some point later in the season.

    They have a coaching change. We have a coaching change.
    ===============================================
    Saints do have a plethora of weapons.

    13-3 last year, projected to win 10 games this year.

    Would seem that there is value in the OVER, if you’re of the mindset that the coaching suspensions won’t have as much impact as expected.

    However, there has been some upheaval and defections on their offensive line that are a concern. Additionally, the Seahawks seem improved and on the verge of making some noise.

    Winning more than 10 won’t be easy. It never is.

    Realistic is 10-6

    One variable (and there are many)is we just don’t know for sure if those real good teams we play…are still as good.

    Do we catch the Saints on an off year? Baltimore? Pittsburgh? Can we finally beat freakin Miami on the road? Is Carolina a SB team as they seem to think they are? Can we beat Manning, KC and SD?

    Holy crap..that is a lot to ask.

    Two attendees threw nuts at Carroll on Tuesday while yelling “This is how we feed the animals.” They were removed from the convention floor. Carroll said the head of the delegation — she wasn’t sure of which state — told her the nut-throwers were alternates, not delegates.

    WASHINGTON (AP) – A federal court on Thursday rejected a Texas law that would require voters to present photo IDs to election officials before being allowed to cast ballots in November.

    A three-judge panel in Washington unanimously ruled that the law imposes “strict, unforgiving burdens on the poor” and noted that racial minorities in Texas are more likely to live in poverty.

    The decision involves an increasingly contentious political issue: a push, largely by Republican-controlled legislatures and governors’ offices, to impose strict identification requirements on voters.

    Republicans are aggressively seeking the requirements in the name of stamping out voter fraud. Democrats, with support from a number of studies, say fraud at the polls is largely non-existent and that Republicans are simply trying to disenfranchise minorities, poor people and college students – all groups that tend to back Democrats.

    Raiders??? 18th

    The AFC West teams basically have the same opponents. Our schedule just LOOKS tuff considering the Miami game for instance. We just have not beaten them. They had a poor record last yr. so on strength of schedule it looks like a winner for us and would not rank as a tough game for the strength of schedule ratings.

    I take some solace that the rest of the AFC West are looking at the same type of brutality we are.

    On paper we lost talent in every single department. Not that I agree, but it is what it is.

    I think we are a 10 win minimum team. Sure, we lost some talent but we made major upgrades in accountability and coaching that will pay major dividends.

    If the Raids catch a few breaks, we should be in contention the whole way.

    He isnt the reason we lost out on the playoffs the last two year. We had him healthy in 2010 and the defense did the same thing then that it did to us last year… folded down the stretch.

    WTF are You People talking about?!
    We were 8-8 the last 2 seasons with Cable and Fat Monkey, bad defense, and the same level of talent if not less.
    If we finish worse than 9-7, someone should get fired.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Totally agree, no way the Raiders do not improve from 8-8. Reggie has this roster lean and mean. No more slackers or scholarship guys. I think we are in for a great season…think Gruden’s 2nd to 3rd year from 8-8 to 12-4. If Mcfadden goes down…then it will be tough to better 9-7

    ———

    The lack of scholarships is going to be good for 2 wins alone this year.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Totally, and the improvement in bonehead penalties should give us an extra win or two as well!

  953. Raider O Says:

    On paper we lost talent in every single department. Not that I agree, but it is what it is.
    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Who? Bush, Wimbley, and Routt?
    Bush was/ is a backup RB.
    Routt had 17 penalties, and didn’t play well.
    Wimbley was a good pass rusher who wasn’t used right IMHO.

    Raids could easily finish with 7 wins or less and be picking in the top half of round 1.

    Palmer gets injured ? DMAC misses time ? Offense regresses under Knapp ? Defense isn’t as improved as expected ?

    It could happen.

    If the Raids catch a few breaks, we should be in contention the whole way.

    The key, as usual, will be to win our division games.

    We simply can not lose games to KC, DEN, and SD again on our HOME TURF.

    We’ve shown we can march into their stadiums and win.

    Defend home field against division foes and we’ll be in it to the wire.

    _________________________________________________

    Raiders could easily win 11 games or more and win the division and pick in the bottom of the 1st round.

    Palmer and DMAC eaach play all games this season. Knapp adapts scheme to personnel. Defense even better than expected.

    It must happen.

    MANNING replaced Tebow for 2 of our games.

    Yeah, our 1970s Defensive Scheme had nothing to do with it right?

    What happened in Jax in 2010 when DMC put us on his back and played one of the greatest games Ive ever watched? The D choked it away then too.

    Our new D means we dont blow the same 4 games we blew last year.

  969. alex7 Says:

    Raider O

    no one said Green is Megatron’s equal.

    It’s the “if you can just contain” Green / Megatron / any outstanding talent

    line of thinking that is flawed. The point is those guys are great because you can’t just go out and contain them and assume the victory because you will contain them.

  970. Twinkle Says:

    One other point that may be overlooked is that there are no complete teams any more since the the advent of the salary cap.Every team has a weakness often more than one.This is why there are new faces in the SB every year.The owner’s point was to stamp out dynasties like the 9′ers Cowboys Steelers Raiders etc.By adding six more teams (diluting the talent pool) and instigating a salary cap you end up with parity or the 32 teams that suck as I like to call it.The Giants that looked like sh!t at mid season last year get in the PO’s at 9-7 (woot!) win it all….Horsesh!t if you ask me.

    Cross country traveling always hurt us more than most for two reasons:

    1. The scholarships – players didnt have to be in tip top shape. They do now.

    2. The scheme – playing man-to-man works great until the 4th quarter and youre gassed. Then the mental fatigue sets in, the penalties pile up, and the assignments get missed.

    Both of those concerns are now nixed with the new Reggime.

    “CHILDREN, DON’T DO DRUGS!”

    With the Chiefs losing safety Eric Berry for the full season after tearing an ACL during a Week One blowout loss to the Bills, the debate has now turned to the question of whether the hit that tore the ligament should result in a fine for Bills receiver Stevie Johnson.

    Berry’s camp, we’re told, definitely believes that Johnson should be fined for diving helmet first at Berry’s lower legs while trying to throw a block ahead of the ball carrier. The video clearly shows that Johnson hit Berry low.

    Johnson disagrees. Strongly.

    It’s possible/probable we lose to the Saints, Ravens, Dolphins, Steelers, Falcons.

    If we also lost at Cincy and at Carolina, we’re at 10 losses.

    I pegged us for 11 games last year. Without the defensive collapses I would have been dang close.

    I got us at 10 games this year.

    We’ll see how it plays out. Remember this come the off season next year and we can revisit it and discuss where we each had things wrong or right.

  994. SaintKaufman Says:

    Personally I like our first 5 games.
    SD will be a tough game, no doubt. But they have injuries all over their team and haven’t looked especially sharp this preseason(just like the Raiders)

    Miami has nothing on offense this year. I think most agree that our offense will be able to move the ball and put up points so this could actually turn out to be an easy game, even with the 10am kickoff.

    The Steelers offensive line is going to get brutalized in this game. They will also be coming off of a tough game with the Jets so if our pass D can hold up in this game I expect another close game. Plus it’s Pittsburgh, and the home fans will be fired up for this game.

    I believe we might just have an inside advantage against the Broncos(can u say D. Allen?). Mr. McFadden just might break a record in this game. He LOVES playing the Broncos. All about the pass D again and could be another easy win for the Raiders.

    Atlanta will be a tough game for sure but they allow points and we will be coming off of a bye which should help with another early kickoff. Atlanta is coming off of a game with Jacksonville so this could perhaps be a bit of a trap game for them.

    Then we get Jacksonville and KC in KC. This almost sounds like a 6-1 or 5-2 start for the Raiders.

    You never know :)

    If someone wants $20 on that, I’m all for winning more from some of you.

    ——-

    As you can see from my schedule breakdown, I dont disagree with you.

    Its the final 6 games that will decide our season.

    Random Raider memory…

    It was monday night football, Had the guys over for the Oakland/San Francisco game. As I got up to get another beer I watched the most grotesque football injury of my life. Napolean McCallum’s leg bent in a way that was anything but natural. They must of replayed it a million times.
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    You are not kidding man!I was at that game….proceedings were held up for an eternity and the thing was replayed over and over…Macabre!
    Worst game I ever attended.Rice sets all world record….Montana threw for miles…Norton Jr ends Mac’s career and we lost 44-14 or thereabouts.
    Best part was about 900 Raider fans swept through the north endzone at the half venting there fury on anything wearing the puce and babysh!t colors of the whiners.An amazing sight I was real happy to be in the second deck looking directly down on it and not swept up in it.

  1006. Raider O Says:

    We improved at QB.

    RB – lost Bush
    WR – got better IMO
    TE – got worse according to most
    OLine – lost Satelle
    DLine – a year older
    LB – lost Kam, Groves, and Curry by the looks of it
    CB – lost Routt
    S – stayed the same

    New front office, HC, DC all in their first year at their positions.

    Im not saying I agree with all of that, but that is the ammo the naysayers have to work with.
    $$$$$$$$$$$

    QB: improved
    RB: we have the same starter.
    WR: improved with Streater and Criner
    TE: Same. Boss had 28 catches and 3 TDs, so I’m sure we can get this level of production from one of our TEs or some FA.
    DL: One year older, but Shaighnessy is healthy. He missed most of last season.
    LB: we lost wimbley who is not a LB (Nickel DE IMHO) and we gained Wheeler who is a better fit at LB.
    CB: same. We added Bartell and replaced Routt who had 17 penalties. 17!
    S: same

  1007. realtruraider Says:

    An Early Miami game because they decided to change it because of some Holiday, Fkin bullschit comin off a late late Monday night opener. Miami doesn’t look to good and will have a very green QB starting, but we never play good ball down there for some reason

    I LOVE the new regime. Honestly, we’re heading in the right direction. But we’re not there yet.

    We were better than Miami last year, didn’t matter, east coast.

    We EMBARRASSED ourselves last time vs Steelers.
    Palmer gives us a better chance, I’m excited about that game.

    I think we’re an 11 win team next year.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Ok, I hear ya…at least we agree we are heading in the right direction. I just think we are closer to a sooner turnaround. I like 11 wins for next year as well :-D

    Honest Analysis:

    It’s certainly possible that we split vs AFC West again.

    3-3 record.

    It’s possible/probable we lose to the Saints, Ravens, Dolphins, Steelers, Falcons.

    If we also lost at Cincy and at Carolina, we’re at 10 losses.

    Not saying likely, but it wouldn’t/shouldn’t be a shocker if we did lost 10 and had a top-10 pick.
    ========================================

    Dolphins? They are predicted to finish last in their division. Steelers are a team in transition. Cincy? The last time they strung back to back playoffs was the 1980’s. Carolina? Puh-leeze. Does someone know how to tie a noose?

    To the athletes credit, its always harder to go east than go west. And the better shape you are in, the harder flights are on your body.

    Flying/Airports dehydrate you, cramps occur, your immune system takes a beating.

    There never really is enough time for an athlete to fully recover from travel. I believe there was a specialist on Joe Rogan’s podcast the other day that was saying its a 3 week acclimation minimum. That was for Olympics/fighting type sports where not going into the competition at absolutely 100% could cost you the match. Obviously the margin for error is a lot bigger for a player that is a member of a 53 man team.

    But showing up a few days earlier isnt going to make that big a difference in reality. What Harbaugh did was a great mental trick. And like with all athletes, they are nothing without their confidence so what he did was make them at least think they were acclimated to the time change. And it worked. But it was a placebo trick.

    Traveling is the hardest part of being a pro athlete/entertainer. Until youve done it, you will never give it the credit it deserves.

    Plus, KC is going to be better, Denver may be better, and I wouldn’t bet SD is going to be as bad as they were last year (oh wait, they finished with a better record than us last year too).

    We could easily lose more than 8 games this season.

    But now that Davis is gone, we are finally in a marathon instead of a yearly sprint. Reggie and DA will get several more years to pull this wreaked franchise out of the Marianas Trench. All that stink will take time to wear off.

    Reggie will allow a step back as he had to cut all those terrible contracts and missed out on his specialty (draft picks).

    symptoms are concerned.It is the organizations duty to put the team in the best position to win and sending them east on Monday night or the latest Tuesday morning
    fits that description.Miami killed us last year and they looked capable of losing every game when we played em

    Lefty,

    SD finished second in the division last year…..we were third. Obviously we were both 8-8, but they got the edge.

  1082. Raider O Says:

    Respect is earned. I remember a decade ago when we owned the highlights on ESPN. Everyone thought we were an elite team because we won games.
    You want respect, EARN IT!

  1083. Dakota Says:

    If our WRs are healthy, and McFadden stays healthy, and the defense is really as good as they look in the preseason, and the special teams gets better once the trash is cut from the roster, and if Manning isn’t the same player he once was, and if San Diego continues its mediocre play under Norv…..then we can DOMINATE this division.

    But I think 7-9 to 10-6 is more our realistic target area. Just like every team, we are going to have our share of injuries and bad luck (well, maybe not the bad luck if the replacement refs stay lol, someone needs to send the refs a memo that Al is gone, so you can stop fkn with us)

    Long-term, though, things are looking up. Just have to add depth next off-season and draft, and perhaps draft a franchise QB with the 1st rounder, while using the 3rd through 7ths on LBs, CBs, and Oline (certainly doable).

    Might not be a bad idea to draft a RB while they’re at it…. A BRUISER

    I watched the first half of the first episode of Spartacus and it looked like a low budget show with bad acting…..I guess I was a little spoiled with HBO’s Rome….they never should have cancelled that show.

    I read that they cancelled it right before season II took off and became popular, but by the time they realized their mistake, many of the actors had already moved on to other shows. SMH tragic.

    One show that I looked into just because I liked the original when I was a kid was Battlestar Galactica….I watched it instantly on Netflix…..it hooked me and I watched the entire series over the course of a summer….good stuff.

    I appreciate Rich for the job he did in Oakland as the starting QB but Mister Davis’s BP went up 20 points everytime he saw mister chokejob.

    The sight of Rich probaly made Mister Davis sick to his stomach. Would let the bum hang around your team if you were Al?

    I think not. Al did not abide losers or cheats and its obvious Al did not care much for chokers either

    LOL Dave.
    Don’t get me started.

    Cap hits:
    $4+ million for an alcoholic Kicker who is out of shape.
    $5.65 million for a punter who doesn’t practice/ punts in the offseason.
    $1.5 million for a LS.

    Around $11.5 million for 3 players on STs?!?!
    I don’t like it.

    Cool. I’ve seen him in quite a few movies over the past few years. He will always be Caesar to me lol.

    Lucius is on Grey Anatomy lol….I keep expecting him to enter the ER in armor.

    The guy who played Titus was in the Book of Eli….zzzzzzzz

    He threw 5 INTs. 5!!
    The football gods didn’t want us to win our 4th SB.
    We played our ex HC while still using his offense. Our C decided to go get drunk in Mexico and was MIA in the biggest game of his career. Our QB who played at an elite level all season decided to throw 5 INTs!!
    5!!
    My BP just went up 20 points.

    John Carter was not as bad as advertised. Decent sci-fi. Much better than Transformers or Ghost Rider.

    young ballers Cumbie and Ihenacho get quality time and seal roster slots

    continued dominance by Wheeler and LB’s

    Why is everyone surprised that Gannon has an axe to grind with us?
    Al crapped all over him. Banned him from the clubhouse.
    That’s about as bush league as you can get.
    Gannon was responsible for the last time we stood proud, and for Al to ban him, which was against league rules anyway, insured Gannon would crap on the team the same way we crapped on him.

    Besides, Gannon spoke the truth, like it or not
    &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&.

    Your BFF Gannon is a ignorant vengeful, spiteful immature, small human being to go around for ten years carrying a grudge for the way a 80 year old man treated him.

    Poor little Rich all upset that Mister Davis got him to a SB where he pulled off the biggest chokejob in history.

    PS

    Oakglen,,, err seymour is the biggest bush leaguer in this chatroom
    =====================================================
    Shows your ignorance. You just stated an owner got a player to the SB. You don’t realize how sorry that comment is?
    Gannon provided a service. Al paid for the service. Gannon got the team to the SB, not Al, you moron.

    I’ll say it again. Gannon told the truth. What part wasn’t the truth?

    And for that, Al shows the world he’s as they thought. A bitter little man who was never about the team, but was always about Al.
    Get your facts straight, boy.

    Did you honestly feel comfortable anytime Palmer through the ball last year? My butthole tightened up every time he dropped back. When he was on, he was on, but when he was off, he was really off. And really off Carson showed up at an alarming rate.

    Palmer must play well in this game. Unlike other qbs around the league Palmer is suddenly under the most pressure. Due to his huge contract & what we gave up for him he must give some indication that he can avoid turn overs & lead wins. Palmer uike other qbs has not found the endzone & thrown 4 picks in just over 4 quarters. If Palmer does not play Well & his back ups out perform him again it will only hasten the looking qb contraversy.

    Palmer is in a similar bind as Sanchez or like Flynn was in. People want to see thier back up becuase they have not inspired confidence through thier play

    San Diego will be throwing the ball 40 times on us, so I want to see a little pass-rush from the guys who will be playing and rotating week 1.

    LB, nickel, and safety pass coverage will also be looked at in 3 hours.

    Barksdale needs to keep stepping up and give us a 2013 starter.

    &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
    You would like it a lot less if you would care to remember what the kicking game was like before these
    guys got here.If I can punt a football 80 yards with zero return (he’s done it once) then why in hell would I practice punting in the off season?I can figure I’ve got a handle on the mechanics.Lechler was
    a prime reason why Gannon wasn’t riding the pines here like he did everywhere else.Gannon did not speak ‘vertical game’.And as far as casting aspersions on maybe the best kicker to play the game…….two of the rarest commodities….A Scot or a Polack who doesn’t drink.These guy’s are Pro Bowl man…if the
    rest of the damn roster could play to their level
    then you and I wouldn’t have this difference of opinion.
