Coach Allen’s conference call transcript
By Steve Corkran
Friday, August 31st, 2012 at 5:40 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Here’s what Raiders coach Dennis Allen had to say in a 10-minute conference call a little while ago. Note that he refused to speak about the pending roster cuts or injuries to several of his key players. Those are sure signs that Allen and the Raiders are in regular-season mode. Enjoy the reading, while I go track down the roster moves:
Q: What can you tell us?
Allen: Not much. Right now I’m not going to talk about who we’ve released or who’s going to be on the team. We’re at that point in time where I’m really not going to talk about injuries, because this time of year we’re beginning to game plan, so I’ll talk about the game. I’ll talk about San Diego if you want to, but I really won’t talk much about the roster or injuries. Now we’ll talk more about the roster on Monday because we’ll have a better idea of where we’re at.
Q: Curry, can you address him, PUP, anything?
Allen: No, I’m not going to talk about anybody right now as far as what we’re going to do. We did talk to Curry today, he was in here, but we’re not going to say anything. That will actually get released, all that information will be released this evening.
Q: How different might the roster look from time you make moves to time you walk on the field for the opener, four or five guys? None?
Allen: We’re definitely looking, and whatever moves we feel like, I’ve told you guys before, really, honestly, whatever moves we feel like give us a chance to be better, we’re going to make those moves and we’re evaluating any and all positions to see if there’s someone out there that can help us.
Q: Did last night’s game play a role for a lot of guys or had you already decided?
Allen: Well, usually, when you get into those games you’re talking about the bottom part of your roster. Maybe it’s players 46 through 53, somewhere in there maybe, I don’t know what that number is. But there’s a handful of guys that it makes a difference whether they’re on your team or not.’
Q: Considering that it didn’t go very well for non-first teamers, not bode well for reserves?
Allen: yeah, well obviously, we didn’t play well last night. We didn’t execute very well. We beat up front on both sides of the ball. We had mental mistakes, and so, yeah, I would say, no it doesn’t bode well for some of those backup players. This is the National Football League and when we go in and play a game, these players, that played the other night, they’re going to be the guys, if we have an injury or somebody misses a game, those are going to be the guys that are going to have to step in and play and we’re going to expect them to play at the same level as what a starter does because that’s what we do. So, yeah, I was disappointed in what we got out of some of those guys.
Q: Are you more concerned now about the depth?
A: I don’t know if more concerned. That’s been a concern, the depth on our roster. I think it just reconfirmed that we have to upgrade the bottom half of the roster because depth is a concern.
Q: Do you see a team that is smarter, tougher and more disciplined and don’t have enough talent or missing those qualities?
A: There’s been progress in that regard. Obviously we haven’t been perfect and we’re not going to be perfect but we’ve made a lot of progress in that regard. I think we are a tough football team and we do have tough-minded people. I think we’ve played smart in situations and executed some situational football really well. I do think some of that discipline is showing up on the field. It’s still not the final product that we’re looking for. We’re always going to strive for improvement and we’re looking for perfection but I have seen improvement in that regard.
Q: Why no cuts announced yet?
A: It’s really an in-house thing. I don’t know how all the other teams do it. Roster cuts have to be turned into the league by 6 o’clock this evening our time. At 6 o’clock this evening our time we’ll turn the roster moves into the league and I’m sure it becomes public after that.
Q: Who stood out from the game?
A: Well there wasn’t a whole lot that stood out from a positive standpoint. I told you guys last night that defensively one of the guys that I thought played pretty well and also showed up on special teams was Bryan McCann. I thought Coye Francies made a few plays special teams wise. He obviously had the one ball he put on the ground on the kickoff but some of the coverage stuff was pretty good. Jack Crawford early in the game did a nice job, did some good things. Same things with Christo Bilukidi. Both those guys played 60, 70 snaps in the game. Offensively Taiwan again had a couple of really explosive runs and Mike Goodson had some runs in there that kind of showed a little bit more of what we saw early in training camp. We had a few plays here and there but overall performance wasn’t nearly what our standard is.
Q: What did you see from Stupar?
A: “He did some good things, he really did. I saw some instinctive football plays. He, obviously, was involved in several tackles. It was good to see Nate make a few plays there in that game.”
Q: Did it shock you that Stupar played well?
A: “No, there was some progress being made. With every rookie, a lot of times they’ll take two steps forward and one step back. So, it’s been a little bit of an up-and-down deal with Nate. But he came out last night and played and acted like he wanted to try to get a spot on this roster.”
Q: Was it good to see Shane punt that much last night?
A: “He came through it fine. It was actually good work for Shane. I believe this with my heart, and I’ll never change this; I don’t care whether you’re a punter, kicker, offensive lineman, defensive back, wide receiver, it’s a tough game. You don’t just not do anything and all of a sudden you come back and you’re perfectly ready to go. So, it was good for him to get out there and get some work. Obviously, it was more punts than what we would have wanted or anticipated, but it was good for him to get a few kicks in a real last game.”
Q: Do you expect back any of the injured players? Updates?
A: “No, nothing really. Hopefully, those guys, they were all in here working today, and I’m hoping that they’ll be back out and ready to roll.”

I said that too but a few monkeys tried to argue, and said he was a great punter, so he doesn’t need to practice. LOL

August 31st, 2012 at 6:42 pm
Al would keep Mitchell, because he would still remember both Kiper and Mayock laughing at him for the pick. Reggie doesn’t care about that, so it’s either play or go.
August 31st, 2012 at 6:42 pm
Hamilton gone. Definitely a practice squad candidate.
August 31st, 2012 at 6:42 pm
boil that coon for about an hour, than bake on 350 with favorite brbu sauce.Its the bomb.

August 31st, 2012 at 6:42 pm
Mitchell has actually been one of the more consistent backups this preseason. I think he’ll stick.

Oh.. ok .. thanks abp.. never heard of him..
August 31st, 2012 at 6:47 pm
Mitchell hasn’t done much in his career thus far, and looked downright awful at times, but he seems to be playing better as of late. May have a lot to do with how Tarver is using him. We’ll see. He looked better than Curtis Taylor did, in my opinion.

August 31st, 2012 at 6:48 pm
60..yes..true.. he trys to hard to hit.. just make a play for crying out loud..
August 31st, 2012 at 6:48 pm
Not sure how Mitchell is considered overrated.
August 31st, 2012 at 6:48 pm
Marquette King just tweeted something but wasn’t about being cut.
August 31st, 2012 at 6:48 pm
King’s Twitter page now reads “NFL punter”. He’s probably gone. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s added to the practice squad, assuming he gets through waivers (and he should).
August 31st, 2012 at 6:49 pm
Maybe King was put on injured reserve.
August 31st, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Mitchell is like the Tazmanian Devil. He’s just a big blur with no focus until he hits someone. I still like him though.
August 31st, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Give that seventh rounder back to panthers for sweet Lou.
August 31st, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Yeah Mitchell should of went for the pick instead of a big hit, but by all accounts he has had a good camp and for the most part good preseason until last nights
August 31st, 2012 at 6:50 pm

That play was really frustrating. Mitchell had better position on the ball than the WR did. Could have easily picked it off. Wasn’t thinking.

Yep.
He was the hero who picked off Big Ben at home against Pittsburgh to win that game…in a tragic 2-14 season.
August 31st, 2012 at 6:53 pm
The Ravens’ scheme made him look like a competent starter. But then he got hurt and sat most of 2011 out. Vikings picked him up and he didn’t look the same.
August 31st, 2012 at 6:54 pm
Mitchell reminds me of the scab eddie anderson and former raider dorsett.. not very intelligent players but boy they could lay a lick on you..
August 31st, 2012 at 6:54 pm
Mitchell is def a keeper. You guys are on crack. I don’t have all that much faith in the new regime. Certainly not the reverence that some fans speak with with the “In Reggie we Trust” foolishness. But I assume they’re smart enough to realize that MM34 is a solid player with big upside and he’ll be there opening day and througout.
Of course, I didn’t care for the Bruce Campbell or Louis Murphy trades either, so I guess we’ll see.
August 31st, 2012 at 6:54 pm
Chris Carr was also the guy who ran his mouth about us after he left.I remember our players saying he would get hurt if we played against him.

I was never that hig on Chris Carr, personally. In terms of qualit, he’s basically a Bryan McCann type: not great in any one area but competent in a few and that keeps him around.

Remember what DA said. He wants tough, smart and disciplined players.
Mitchell fails in two out of three. It could be argued that he fails in three out of three.

I don’t really mind MM headhunting. Maybe in certain game situations. Certainly don’t care about it in preseason. Hell, it’s a smart move in preseason. Make other WRs watching the game or watching tape think twice about stretching out for a pass across the middle when playing the Raiders.

32 teams in the nfl making cuts and trades. oakland can’t even update it’s fans on time about opening season roster. ugh
August 31st, 2012 at 7:06 pm
subliminal messaging,read between the lines?thats coach allen saying were going to be marginal at best this year but were striving to be something competive in the near future funkkkk!!! im afraid with the reggression of lets go take a knapp offense this year,were looking probably 6/10 record this year??? hope the new regime proves us wrong!what do u guys think?
August 31st, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Seahawks cut that Portis QB.
August 31st, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Only 4 teams not updated on NFL.com Raids obviously 1 of them
August 31st, 2012 at 7:06 pm
Oakfoshow,
I think you’re thinking of Jared Cooper maybe?
August 31st, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Might be that a trade has to be approved by the NFL before the cuts are released.
August 31st, 2012 at 7:07 pm
I’d be somewhat surprised if Bilukidi doesn’t make it.
August 31st, 2012 at 7:07 pm
Bilukidi was one of the few who played decently last night?

August 31st, 2012 at 8:04 pm
WTF Is taking so long? Doesn’t matter, if we have to play too many of the bottom half of the roster, we’re screwed.
MM34 has played better, he stays. They will keep Goodson too. Taiwan is not completely ready to be the No 2 plus he should be returning kicks anyways.
Bilikudi makes it. I don’t like DVDor Chekwa. DVD is too skinny and Chekwa looks awkward when he plays.

Haha. Who cares. Heard there a lot of punks in Compton. They having a gun and being an idiot makes them tuff. Also, talking about being raised there like that means anything. Easy e and ice cube were never tuff. Just actors. Ur cute.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:19 pm
Oh lord…MR cross posting alert.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:20 pm
If we’re going to talk about lousy NY Jets, forget about Tebow. How bout Vernon Gholston? Cut by the Rams today too? That guy sure didn’t pan out. Probably a purple drank casualty.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:20 pm
Yea,he was talking about morals or something.i dont know,wasnt really paying attention.

Stupar cut, as was Kilgore.
Underwood and King to IR.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:24 pm
A rapist? Shut up.This is america.Dont want to talk to you.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Harris would be an immediate upgrade at RT
August 31st, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Parrish also gone. McCann and Francies lock up the return jobs until Ford returns.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Yeah for YoungAmerican! Breaking the news!
August 31st, 2012 at 8:25 pm
funny how everyone else was waived, but Roscoe Parrish was “terminated”. LMAO
August 31st, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Lol. Oak is a cutie pie. He thinks he a little gangsta. Isn’t that precious?
August 31st, 2012 at 8:25 pm
way to go YA.. no surprises.. kind of anticlimatic
August 31st, 2012 at 8:26 pm
Klas knew Reggie would find way to keep King! Lechler is free agent after season. King is next punter.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:26 pm
Dang, Lonyae’s gone.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:26 pm
Stupar to practice squad, i bet.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:27 pm
And for all of you complaining about play calling stop! It is exhibition you don’t show your playbook! Someone complained about Reese being non existent stop it, Knapp knows what he can do. We are going to be very good on offense so stop crying!
August 31st, 2012 at 8:27 pm
over/under for Cork to post? 15 min?

Here you go, from the Raiders website:
The Oakland Raiders Friday announced 22 transactions, reducing the team’s active roster to the regular-season limit of 53 players.
The team waived 17 players, terminated one veteran, placed three on reserve/injured, and placed veteran linebacker Aaron Curry on reserve/physically unable to perform. Curry is eligible to return to practice as early as Oct. 16, the day after the conclusion of the NFL’s sixth weekend. Once he returns to practice, he will be allowed to practice for up to 21 days prior to returning to the active roster.
The Raiders’ roster moves Friday:
Transaction Pos. Player (exp)
Waived LB Kaelin Burnett (R)
Waived K Eddy Carmona (R)
Waived WR Derek Carrier (R)
Waived WR Brandon Carswell (R)
Reserve/PUP (knees) LB Aaron Curry (4)

Remember this moment. King is next Lechler!
August 31st, 2012 at 8:29 pm
Stupar, Efaw, Hamilton, Carrier, and Burnett are likely going to the practice squad.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:29 pm
Lame lame lame lame
August 31st, 2012 at 8:29 pm
Awesome move with King. Solid long-term thinking with Lechler getting older and making bank.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:30 pm
Aaron Curry has two flat tires. PUP is being optomistic for this guy.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:30 pm
Reggie will not pay Lechler next season.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:32 pm
Ihenacho stays? Hope so.

August 31st, 2012 at 8:34 pm
Now who will Reggie pick up? And who else gets cut?
August 31st, 2012 at 8:34 pm

************************
I’m surprised they even gave him a seat on the plane coming home. Expected to see him rolling in on a Grayhound bus this afternoon. His performance Thursday was his worst day ever. If it wasn’t, then I’d hate to be him.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:35 pm
Nix made it afterall
August 31st, 2012 at 8:36 pm
Murphy trade will woop us in the end.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:36 pm
Good catch. Didn’t think he played that well, but the Raiders need depth badly.
If they add anyone to the roster, the first to go would probably be Nix, Chekwa, Francies, or Lee.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:36 pm
Now I Klas has to go cut some twitter followings.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:37 pm

————————————————————————————————————–
I noticed that the waived players had 3 yrs or less experience and Roscoe is an 8 yr guy. So maybe they’re like little roaches and you can get rid of them just by waiving them off and that old a$$ coackroach you just got smash their gut juice out of them for them to not come back around.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:38 pm
15 min since YA’s link.. shoulda took the over

Raider Roscoe just doesn’t have a ring to it.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:39 pm
This roster far from set. about 4 of these guys getting cut/traded by Monday and we will see 4 new faces. Book it.

August 31st, 2012 at 8:43 pm
Here’s what I see:
Nix not a perfect 9th guy. I think we get an OT on the wire for depth.
Might pick up a guy like rock Cartwright.
Only 5 LB’s. gotta grab one on the wire.
7 CB’s. Likely to try to trade chekwa and/or DVD. Lee, McCann, and Francies earned their spots.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:45 pm
kinda sorry to see supar go thought he’d make the roster. he looked good last night
August 31st, 2012 at 8:45 pm
Seymour could retire.

Nix only surprise on offense. 5DT’s interesting. Seymour gone? Only 5 lb’s. definitely one mor coming and one cb going.
