Notes, observations from Raiders exhibition finale
By Steve Corkran
Friday, August 31st, 2012 at 12:29 am in Oakland Raiders.
For the record, Raiders coach Dennis Allen called Thursday night’s 21-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks “significant” because it came in the final tune-up before the regular-season opener. Deep down, though, Allen knows this game won’t be remembered by many, if any, 10 days from now.
That is, if the Raiders starters take the field against the San Diego Chargers on Sept. 10 at the Oakland Coliseum and play as well as Allen and general manager Reggie McKenzie think they’re going to play.
After all, at least 22 of the players who played Thursday night won’t be around for the game, possibly more if McKenzie is able to find better options among the more than 1,000 players cut Monday and Friday.
– Allen made good on his promise to use his starters, for the most part, though many other teams didn’t take any chances with some or all of their projected starters.
Not all of the starters played — defensive tackles Richard Seymour and Tommy Kelly, wide receivers Denarius Moore and Jacoby Ford, center Stefen Wisniewski and running back Darren McFadden were among those who didn’t play because of injury or added rest.
Even so, the starters didn’t get a whole lot of playing time. Quarterback Carson Palmer, for instance, lasted only six plays, and he handed off the ball all six of those plays.
– Recent acquisition Roscoe Parrish couldn’t have had much worse of a debut than the one he put forth Thursday night.
He fumbled away the ball at the end of his first punt return for strike one. On the second one, he struggled getting his helmet squared away — how does that happen, by the way? — sprinted toward the right sideline for the ball, dived at the last second and muffed it. Fortunately for Parrish, the Seahawks defender who recovered the ball was out of bounds at the time.
Even so, damage done. Parrish was handed a golden opportunity to be the Raiders punt returner to start the season, and he all but fumbled it away.
Allen diplomatically said afterward that Parrish isn’t defined by what happened in the game. Maybe not, but Bryan McCann handled punt return duties the rest of the game.
Actions speak louder than words, it says here. And Parrish just went from being a lock to a potential casualty when the Raiders trim their roster to 53 on Friday.
If Parrish goes, McCann jumps to the head of the line, perhaps on kick and punt returns, at least as long as Ford and Moore aren’t healthy enough to handle those roles, respectively.
– Rookie Christo Bilukidi started at defensive tackle and played almost the entire game. Sure, Kelly and Seymour weren’t playing, but this spoke more to the Raiders seeing how Bilukidi would hold up against the Seahawks starters, as well as through extensive playing time.
Bilukidi didn’t disappoint, though he struggled on a few plays. He likely sewed up a roster spot with his performance.
– Rookie linebacker Nathan Stupar recorded 11 tackles in his best showing through four games. That might be enough to vault him from practice-squad candidate to a member of the 53-man roster.
– Second-year quarterback Terrelle Pryor was unable to build upon his breakout game last Saturday night.
It wasn’t for lack of effort on Pryor’s part. He completed 6 of 9 passes for 55 yards and a respectable 83.1 passer rating. However, he was under fire almost every play, with the backup linemen powerless against the Seahawks defensive surge.
– The Raiders fared pretty well in terms of penalties once again. This time, they committed six for 50 yards, which are figures Allen can live with when compared to the league-leading figures from last season’s team.
– Wide receiver Eddie McGee caught three passes for 36 yards. Not eye-opening figures, but in light of Parrish’s abysmal showing, it might be enough to warrant the Raiders keeping McGee ahead of Parrish.
McGee was fresh from a game in which he slipped twice on passes thrown his way and had a third pass knocked out of his hands and turned into an interception.
It might be too little, too late for McGee, but he at least has to feel better about his chances now than he did five nights ago.
– Allen praised rookie Rod Streater for his hustle in chasing down a Cardinals defender at the end of an interception Aug. 17. Allen said he hoped others were watching and would follow suit.
Well, perhaps fellow rookie Brandon Carswell missed that play, for he just stood there when a Seahawks defender intercepted a pass thrown for him Thursday night.
Fortunately for Carswell, the review of the play revealed that Carswell touched the defender as he was falling to the ground after making the interception. Still, Allen no doubt isn’t going to be pleased with Carswell not switching from a receiver to a defender in a second’s notice.

We will win on Monday Sep 10 when it really matters
August 31st, 2012 at 12:40 am
Mr Green was at the game and had a great time during warm ups and pregame hangin at the Raidah tunnel. The players and coaches and Mark Davis come over to sign autographs, and the contingent of Raidah fans is fun. Lots of them. The evening was warm and cool and breezy. And the anticipated excitement of the Raidahs doing some thing special like butt roasting the seahacks just lurks in the background.
But the the game started and it went down hill from there. But sitting on the 50 right behind the Raidah bench and watching all that Silver and Black is cool nonetheless.
It will be especially cool watchin it in Nawleens!

He fumbled away the ball at the end of his first punt return for strike one. On the second one, he struggled getting his helmet squared away — how does that happen, by the way? — sprinted toward the right sideline for the ball, dived at the last second and muffed it.
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
See! I saw that. It was quite most odd. He shoulda just backed away and kept workin on his chin strap, or at least that is what I thought it was. But fortunately, the refs were smiling at us, however by the time the game ended, to no avail.
And again I repeat, Lienart is our #3. He will be the best #3 in the entire league, hands down.

Intrepid I am glad you think I am upbeat. Why I am I ask? It’s healthy I suppose and been thru some stuff so there you go. If it isn’t financial, it’s not a problem. I have a couple of llamas, but they are more of my wife’s pets. But I cut the field and bale the hay and she feeds them. I also coach college baseball at the CC level. I have a saying I tell my players. I tell them that I love baseball but the Raiders are my favorite team on the planet. They get a kick outta that then for the rest of the season I get constant updates on Raider football cause I don’t watch espn because I have an adversity to hearing about other football teams cause I like the Raidahs to much. And overpriced baseball players bother me especially when I’m around hungry players all the time. And the espn guys don’t tell it straight. The are too hyperbolic. I used to get physically sick when the Raidahs would lose but I don’t let that happen anymore. Like when Marcus Allen fumble against the eagles a long time ago in la la land and when Marc Wilson choked a playoff game against the pats or buffalo beat us 55-3. So like I said before, we roll with the high and we roll with the low. But I still believe we will beat the giants in Nawleens. Hope springs eternal.
: mrgreen:
August 31st, 2012 at 1:40 am
Only thing that I’ll note is that our back-up linemen are atrocious. That’s all you can really glean from this. Cute that you all immediately write off Leinart and wish to put Pryor ahead of him. Pryor is not ready. This game cannot be used as a marker, as Leinart is not nearly as mobile as Pryor and the pocket protection was non-existent. Unfair to judge him from this game.
I still think that, in a game decision, Leinart would be more composed than Pryor, who is still very green and needs to learn a lot more. From the sidelines, preferably.
August 31st, 2012 at 1:45 am
What up late night crew?
How did the game go, missed it
Is reggie mac gona use the7 mill?
I gotta feeling our Defense is gonna rock some heads this year
August 31st, 2012 at 1:49 am
Stinkcapdes!
August 31st, 2012 at 1:53 am
With the starters mostly sitting, you can’t really tell anything here.
Allen may well be a very canny coach.
August 31st, 2012 at 1:53 am
Reggie MCFrugal eh?
August 31st, 2012 at 1:56 am
– The Raiders fared pretty well in terms of penalties once again. This time, they committed six for 50 yards, which are figures Allen can live with when compared to the league-leading figures from last season’s team.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You can’t tell much with the starters sitting but this figure is very promising.
Last week, when we saw more of the team, Houston got just one sack and they had a good defensive team last year.
In the two first games we had NO penalities.
August 31st, 2012 at 1:58 am
7 mill just don’t buy what it used to I guess…
Well lets see what we got.
This D has got to get better with some solid scheme and coaching.
And penalties alone should get us at least a game or two.
Hopefully Palmer gets a roll…and who knows?
August 31st, 2012 at 2:01 am
If we seep the dischargers this year that will be enough for me! Down here in LA i’m alittle to close to san diega, gotta here the numbskulls chit constantly, damn bathroom break on the way to TJ…

this was my 53 man roster, the day after we signed Roscoe Parrish. After this 4th & final preseason game … I’d say he’s only only guy that played himself off the roster
As stated above by Steve: welcome to the 53 man roster Eddie McGee !!
August 31st, 2012 at 2:47 am
the Dolphins are trading away parts left & right.
Ryan Cook & Vontae Davis both purged in a 4 day span
Anybody think Reggie will trade any players from the 53 man roster I just posted up ??
none of those “soon to be” cuts hold any trade value – obviously
August 31st, 2012 at 2:54 am
the Seahawks averaged 3.92 yards per carry against us last night
Was Goodson’s 17 yard run enough to crack the 53?
other that that he’s been terrible this preseason.
even last night he had 1 catch for negative yards and only got 9 yards on his other 7 carries
is he a “lock” ??
Lonyae Miller had a 17 yard reception!
August 31st, 2012 at 2:57 am
Seabirds Defense produced 3 sacks and an INT. Special teams “forced” (lol) 3 fumbles
our defense & special teams produced about the same as our offense last nite – nothing
August 31st, 2012 at 3:08 am
Pre-season game results mean nothing.They’re just to make money for the owners and maybe for coaches to decide between two players.
Forget the result and be thankfull that there were no injuries.
Real football starts in a week.
August 31st, 2012 at 3:50 am
And Parrish just went from being a lock to a potential casualty when the Raiders trim their roster to 53 on Friday
================================
funny how you had him go from the street to being a “lock” to being a casualty, all within the span of about 24 hours.
August 31st, 2012 at 3:55 am
Roscoe perished…
Nathan Stupar reminds me of a young Sam Sword…
August 31st, 2012 at 4:00 am
Roscoe perished…
***
LOL!!
yeah, he killed his chance
August 31st, 2012 at 4:10 am
Roscoe reminded me of Ronald Curry’s debut at KR…fumble..fumble..;Yet unlike Curry who had a chance to showcase his skills through camp, Roscoe had 1 night…
After confronting the magic 8 ball, I’d say outlook not good..
August 31st, 2012 at 4:18 am
Parrish is nowhere near a great return man,I thought it was crazy for him to be a lock anyway.If everyone having return problems it might have something to do with tassel replacement.
August 31st, 2012 at 4:18 am
Lowdown,
what does the 8 ball say about The Gut’s odds on bringing in free agents from other teams to add to the 53?
August 31st, 2012 at 4:21 am
Looking at our roster (my projected 53) I think there are about 10-12 players who aren’t good enough to be on the 53 of other NFL teams …
August 31st, 2012 at 4:22 am
Dennis is correct. lack of depth
August 31st, 2012 at 4:28 am
The inherent lack of depth on the O-line is startling…
D-line is fine…Seymour isn’t even missed.
CB depth is horrid
MM34 looked like a rookie in coverage
Goodsoon is average
I said it before, I expect a trade (lord only knows who), suspect DVD may not make it past week 1, and a new face at RB and OL.
August 31st, 2012 at 4:51 am
What a sh*t fest that was last night. Klas regrets staying up for that game.
August 31st, 2012 at 4:51 am
At least San Diego looking like they suck.
August 31st, 2012 at 5:12 am
At least no major injuries. Maybe staying up does help in the end…
August 31st, 2012 at 5:17 am
Pretty sure Clint sealed the deal for 0bama last night.
August 31st, 2012 at 5:26 am

Has any offensive coordinator ever been this hated before the season even began? Don’t think Bread and Breakfast was this disliked.
August 31st, 2012 at 5:42 am
Good morning Nation!
Not worried one bit about the game last night, too funny how Carroll and team get pumped over pre-season wins. Goodson needs to be cut, along with Chekwa, welcome aboard to Stupar and Lee.
August 31st, 2012 at 5:43 am
Shehawks will finish 7-9 this year, we will go 10-6. Print that!
August 31st, 2012 at 5:43 am
Good job Bilukidi too
August 31st, 2012 at 5:49 am

Tell me why did they suit up Palmer to only hand off teh ball 6 straight times? I understand they wanted to see Taiwan and Goody but come on now…

Obviously the bottom of that roster & the practice squad are gonna churn quite a bit, but this is my guess for the 53 man when the cut deadline comes and before Reggie and DA can comb through other team’s trimmings.

Actions speak louder than words, it says here. And Parrish just went from being a lock to a potential casualty when the Raiders trim their roster to 53 on Friday.
===================================================
Corky, you’ve got balls the size of watermelons. Let the record show YOU were the only one that thought Parrish was a lock.
Actions speak louder than words ? The action you should be taking now is admitting your words were flat out WRONG.
Parrish did NOT go from being a lock to a potential casualty. He was never a lock to begin with. The only place he was a lock was in your mind and blog post.
Keep this nonsense up, Steve – and you’re going to lose whatever credibility you have.
There were several posters here that ridiculed your assertion that Parrish was a lock the moment you posted it.

Corky don’t know squat.
August 31st, 2012 at 6:13 am
I predict that a still raw Terrelle Pryor will at some point be the starting QB for us. This will be unfortunate, because as Raider fans we will have to endure some painful loses due to awful playcalling from Gregg Knapp and play from Carson Palmer. I believe the Defense will hold its own despite being thin at LB, we may also have to address OL-depth. Carson Palmer is the key for any success we could have, however I for one do not believe that the combination with Knapp will work. He doesn’t possess the intangibles needed to make a success of Knapps flaws as a OC. Come On Wakeup, we’ve tried Knapp before !

Bilukidi played well for being there the whole game. Goethal did good towards the end…and Missile, what was he thinking?
Chekwa is one that I liked last year, but not sure about last night. DVD actualy made a couple good plays. But all is moot…we’ll find out at 6:01PM who made it and who won’t.

Chekwa is one of the bigger disappointments of the pre-season for me. I thought he flashed huge potential before his injury last year. I think he’s played himself right out of a job though & will be going the way of Jeremy Ware & Walter McFadden

Hi Tx! Taiwan has too much potential. He could be DMac Jr.

He’s faster than heck man, but he runs with power of a 12 year old, much like Goody. I wouldn’t be mad if they were both gone.

Palmer’s 6 plays were all hand-offs, how was he not meshing with Knapp?

C.Palmer is not a West Coast QB, you will see. Heck he may not even be able to run much traditional anymore neither, but he’ll have more issues in the W.Coast.

I cling to the hope that Palmer, Knapp and DA are in meetings talking over what really works for our QB and getting on the same page.
I pray that they are not going into this with Palmer saying “Well….I don’t know man…I’ll try this but it just doesn’t seem like it’s gonna work that well”.
August 31st, 2012 at 6:38 am
Knapp has OC’D a top 5 offense (top 3 actually) more recently than the Raiders have made the playoffs.

I don’t see Goodson getting cut, simply because of his value (or perceived value at least) on ST’s.
I think Lonyae will be on the practice squad, but will get called up to get some run when the inevitable McFadden and/or Taiwan injury occurs.

===================
so true man. There’s a substantial difference when the 1’s leave and the 2’s come in. Not only did they not create running lanes, but they allowed a jail break on about every passing play too. I saw one Seattle DE coming off the ball, rounded the edge and maybe got a finger layed on him by Barks. It was like Barks stood up, side shuffled a bit, and threw his arm out there.

What I seem to like the most about Burris so far is his savage tackling. He may choose the wrong hole on occasion, or be a little late in coverage, but that dude tackles like a monster.

Only saw a few highlights from the game and I continue to be impressed by Taiwan Jones.
His speed is unreal. That run last night was tremendous. There was a one step subtle juke and slight change of direction at top speed during that run that was instinctual and tells me he can be great.
Yes, I’m concerned about his size and ability to stay on the field. But those who think he isn’t tough are dead wrong. He got hit pretty hard at the end of that run and just popped right back up. Watch the play against Detroit where he launches himself out of bounds to enable the FG attempt. Got right up after that too.
There’s a difference between being susceptible to getting injured and being tough. Taiwan is tough. Maybe too tough for his own good. If Greg Knapp wants to run him between the tackles, I hope Taiwan figures out he needs to get down when there’s nothing there. Kid’s got a huge heart and will get himself hurt if he doesn’t watch it.
Goodson on the other hand, is not tough. In addition to being a fumble machine, he is SOFT. Soft like Charmin.
I won’t miss him at all if he gets cut.
In fact, I’m praying he gets cut bcz if he doesn’t, I guarantee his funbling will cost at least one game. And this team can’t afford to give away a single game.
I suspect he’ll be gone the moment a better, more powerful back, that has a chance to gain a few yards becomes available.
Raid backfield is explosive as hell with DMAC and TJ, but there’s a noticeable lack of heft back there. Still need to find a bruiser. Miller might be serviceable in that role, we’ll see.

Not many interesting names released yet…the closest I can come is Greg Jones, a linebacker let go by the Giants who’d probably be a better weakside backup than anything we’ve currently got as well as Keith Tandy, a 6th round CB out of WVU. I liked him a lot in college although there were doubts he could stick at CB in the pros because he tended to be stiff.

Let me help you with more recent stats since you love them so much.
He was an OC for 9 years. 11 years ago he had a good offense with 2 HOF WRs. Out of 9 years as OC he had TWO good years. TWO! 3 were avg, and 4 were crap! The last 4 years as OC with 3 different teams his offense was ranked in the 20s in scoring, and that’s why he was demoted to QB coach.
But in 2001 his offense was ranked in the top 5 in scoring! Whoopty effin Doo!

James Jones is no prize. Maybe a team like the Jets will pounce on him though.

Jones is a very good WR.. Reported to be 2nd best in GB camp this off-season.
Cobb makes him trade bait.
Not worth it for us, just saying he is a good haul for someone.

(lmao)…ok, Palmer gets shut down by game 7, Reggie inserts Pryor instead of Leinert, Seymour cut by game 8 when he still has yet to make the stat sheet….DMC has season ending injury in game 3…the coliseum by mid season is half empty…

James Jones is from San Jose, CA. A native son comes home for the Raiders. I like it. Dont think RM will spend the picks for Jones though.

it is “Doom and Gloom” in here for sure. I still feel like this team is going to be improved over last years team but i am really thirsty and need a whole lot of kool-aid this morning. See what the Reg has up his sleeve. I realize Knapp doesn’t want to show his hand but i will reserve throwing him under the bus until after MNF

He might not clear waivers if that’s the route we go.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:00 am
You want some koolaid? I think Reggie is going provide some in the next few days. There will be a lot of interesting names that are going to appear on waivers today, and I doubt the roster is set. Probably one or even two more spots is not even on the opening day roster as of now.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:01 am
It was great going to game, last night. My boy got his football signed by a bunch of guys including Mark Davis (really cool). It was an extra special day for him. With this and if mug was posted on the Raiders twitter page, and I imagine he will be on the Raiders.com page, as well. Not only that, but he made the King5 news for his participation in a camp for kids who have a parent with cancer. It’s been tough for him and me this last year watching his mom get taken apart by this cancer, but we are fighting through it. She was able to make it to the game, last night, but we had to leave after the first quarter.
Thank you to the Raiders organization and players for make this such an amazing experience for my son.
You guys are a real class act!

I see the Packers waived punt returner Shaky Smithson. I know nothing about him, but that’s the coolest name for a return guy since the Eagles signed Gizmo Williams back in ‘89.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:09 am
In all fairness to Knapp, the point of pre-season in NOT to show your plays. Its all basics.
==================================================
OK, I’ll accept this. Not sure I agree entirely, but I’ll accept it as basically true.
Here’s the thing.
Even if one accepts that you don’t want to show your play book, don’t want to reveal anything specific – it’s still possible to get a feel for what type of an offense Knapp’s going to run. We might not have seen any exact plays yet, but we’re not bereft of having an idea of what style we can expect.
From his past history and what we’ve seen this pre-season, Knapp is not an unknown quantity.
If I had to choose one play that we saw this pre-season that exemplifies what I expect to see more of in the regular season – it would be the bubble screen to DMAC in the opening game against Dallas.
Do we know exactly what Knapp is going to run ? No.
But I think it’s fair to say we have an idea of what style to expect.

When the ZBS is done right, it can work very very well let’s not forget. How many no-name jerkoffs did Shanahan turn into 1,000 yard rushers using it in Denver? If the Raiders can execute it (big if), a mega talented guy like McFadden could go for 1,600.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:18 am
The more things change, the more they stay the same….
•Chaz Schilens (WR, 5th year, 23 receptions, 2 TDs in 2011) — The Jets had high hopes for Schilens when they signed him as a free agent during the offseason. At 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, he provides a big and fast target for QB Mark Sanchez. He also worked with new Jets WR coach Sanjay Lal when both were in Oakland. However, throughout his career, Schilens has been plagued by injuries and that has continued with the Jets. He pulled a hamstring during OTAs and then during the first preseason game against the Bengals, sprained his ankle and has not practiced since. Coach Rex Ryan took a veiled shot at Schilens on the last day of training camp. Talking about WR Patrick Turner, who suffered a high ankle sprain earlier in the week but returned almost immediately, Ryan said, “Other guys have [an ankle sprain] and they’re out for four weeks. This kid (Turner) is out for about four hours.” That comment might not bode well for Schilens’ future in New York.

Reg should know about Shakey since he was with the pack. was on IR the last 2 seasons though

My understanding is that if Cooley is signed now his salary would have to be picked up (3.8 mil). If he is signed after week 1, it would not. Hence nothing will happen until after week 1

Not worried about Knapp. His first tenure here was stuck in the Al Davis-Lance Kiffin quagmire, had to deal with Cable who thought he was about 5000 times smarter than he actually is and relied on such QB legends as Josh McCown, Daunte Culpeper & JaMeatloaf to execute his offense.

Obviously a lot of other teams have better trash on their rosters than we do, so I expect Reggie to dig through the collective NFL garbage cans and replace quite a few players who are low on our roster with guys who get cut on teams with deeper rosters. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Not going to say I’m not concerned with Greg Knapp’s playcalling but we haven’t yet seen him play at high stakes table so-to-speak. What really is encouraging and is different from his first stint with the Raiders is the sharp decrease in penalties. That shows overall team focus and discipline. As long as everyone is on the same page, you can run just about any system with success. But if you don’t have buy in, that’s when the penalty flags fly.

Hightower was a beast…when healthy. Somebody at RB will get cut that Reggie will pick up. Did anybody listen to him in the booth with Papa and Flores? I thought it was cool to hear him cheering the players on. He seemed to really be into the game.

For all of the Chicken Littles out there…The third pre-season game is the one that tells the story and I’d say we did pretty well there…We do need to improve our depth at a few positions (O-line, LB, CB) but our starters are solid…Look for an explosion Monday Night…By us.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:37 am
Today has to be like draft day for Reggie, since he didn’t have much to work with as far as picks, or even free agent money….he has to be salivating at finding a few hidden gems to provide more depth to this paper thin roster.

I really think the Chargers are going to be the basement of the AFC West this year. I’m talking really really bad. Like 5-11 bad.
They’ve got an average defense that DMac can run over and around at will and an injury riddled offensive line that our DLine will chew up and spit out. Rivers will be lucky to leave O.Co walking under his own power.
Ahhh, that Week 1 Kool-Aid.

After seeing the backend for the offense of the last few games the Raiders should cut to 49 and look for 4 people to fill in backend of the offensive Roster. Only the first 4 receivers are worth keeping. Only 8 OL are worth keeping. I think Goodsen and maybe Miller should go. I think the blocking TE should go. Defense actually looks fairly deep though! I hope RM can work the waivers and improve the depth on this offense becuase it sucks!

Those not worried about knapps play calling are sleeping behind the wheel. I don’t expect Knapp to call all his best plays during preseason but dam at least have a netters game plan.
You know on third and and 10, he’s gonna call a draw.
And on top of that he can’t get us in the endzone on 1 and goal. On the goal line he needs to change to some power blocking. On the seahawks td they got by running they ran a trap play. Even cable knows you can’t run strictly zone on the goal line.

I don’t mean to hate for hate’s sake, but objectively I’d like for Reggie to someway accomodate the signing of another TE to dump Project Ausberry down the road. He’s had ample time to prove himself and at this point he doesn’t deserve to be one of the 53. Give me a reason for him to belong? Because it’s a short list of TE’s? Because he’s the so called “pass catching” TE? Really there has to be some other excuse to keep him rostered. But I don’t see it. Cut the Wiz of Aus now Reggie. Just do it and do not look back.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:16 am
Although I dont think it makes sense, my day wouldnt be ruined if Ausberry were cut.
Really doesnt make any sense though.
Were not a TE away from making a serious run.
So dont sacrifice the future for now.

Al Davis made Reece a full back. But believe me, he would have been a TE rather than a FB had he been taller. We have converted a few ex WRS into TE but they are all much taller than Reece. I can be wrong but I dont remember many 6 ft tall TE in this league. I’m a huge fan of Reece and want him at short yardage as well as TE. He is a match up night mare. Personally, I can careless if he is too short for the TE position. I think he’d do great.

Hey fellas.
Ryan, My thoughts are with you and your family.
Not too conmcerned over last nights pitiful performance. The goal of the final preseason game is to get throught it unscathed. And evaluate and fill out final few roster spots. Seems the Raiders got through preseason relatively injury free. Mission accomplished.
Look at Pitt. Like I mentioned last night..they’ve already lost two high draft picks for the season. Ouch.

Why Deion Branch? Thought the only reason he was cut earlier was his familarity with Brady?

That game was hard to watch. Hands down our worst performance of the preseason. We couldn’t move the ball on offense, we couldn’t stop the seahawks on defense, & we couldn’t hold on to the ball on special teams.
To cap it all off, we pathetically kicked a field goal at the end of an exhibition game to avoid our 2nd shutout. How sad is that? I lost a lot of respect for Knapp this game. Not only was his playcalling stale and predictable, but the guy screamed “mercy” as time ran out…
With that said, I still bleed silver and black. Go Raiders!!!!
August 31st, 2012 at 10:47 am
Knapp has a vast repertoire of “secret” plays that he can never use because then they wouldn’t be secret.

I got a kick out of DJ and Vegas talking about the commercials last night. Wondered the same thing about’ol Papa John myslf.
Speaking of commercials, alot of guys have mentioned that annoyng NFL Play 60 ad and how it drives them crazy.
I’m actually surprised that ad hasn’t been pulled in todays politically correct world. I can’t tell what the hell those rugrats are singing half the time, but to me and sounds like at one point they say”….and then you need a shower…get back on the bus”. Then they end up Go USA, Go USA.
I’m being seious. After the Sandusky scandal I’m surprised the NFL features a comm with lil kids singing about getting in the shower, while on a bus full of grown men…football players and coaches. Just sayin.
I don’t know if anybody else has noticed…but after the shooting tragedy in Co, they edited that KFC commercial. The one where the 30 somethng is playing video games in his parents basement. His dad no longer says…”you spend all day down here shooting goblins….Try zombies, Dad.”
They removed any mention of shootings. Kinda reminded me of DJ Johnny and his list of songs he couldn’t play after a mass shooting. IDK.

Either MM34 was getting extra reps to round into shape after his knee injury, or he could be in trouble just based on his playing late into games with the 3rd and 4th stringers.
Didn’t see the game last night, but thought I saw him in a highlight on the field early in the 1st or 2nd quarter.
From comments here, I’m pretty sure he was out there late in the 2nd half too.

I know this is “only pre season” but take a look at these stats. Do you think we have a problem heading into the season?
You will violently disagree but i want to go on record and state that pryor started out poorly, but finished better than any qb on our team. Over the long haul of the preseason he badly out performed lienart and palmer. Pryor was trashed by the local media and impostor fans for how he looked in practice and in his first pres season game. yet he made chicken salad out of chicken ish and had the best numbers playing with the worst supporting cast. Pryor improved in every game and i for one am eager to see him in real action.
Pryor would be rough in the beginning but after 4-5 starts I think not only would he catch on he would surprise many with his talent.
These numbers demonstrate that his athletic ability does indeed translate to the nfl, and he can out run and run over nfl player just as he did in college. They also reveal that he pushes the ball down field batter than anyone expected or gives him credit for and better than the rest of our qbs this preseason.
If you think this is unnoticed by d.a and big mck you ae fooling yourself.
palmer flops and pryor should get the nod, and I believe he has shortened the lease on our incumbent holdover.

Mistic – You know I was one of the first; if not thee first person to cry with you (literally, I almost cried, I don’t know about you – Lol) that morning we traded for Carson; but after seeing what we saw this preseason, I’d still have to say Pryor is a good year away – easy. We still didn’t see one difficult throw completed (over linebackers but underneath DBs) or any strikes in super tight coverage. Yet and still; even in saying that; I’m sure his playmaking ability with the ones could be benefited from; but it’d be a disservice to the team to start him this year. I hope he’s a year away though! As for Carson; as long as DMAC is healthy, hopefully he can at least manage games somewhat and give us his occasional nice deep ball (which he does do very well) and we can make this year stretch for what its worth…

Raider O
I normally agree with you but do not remember our offense having trouble scoring until we lost McFadden and that was 6 games into the season. I do agree our run defense really sucked last preseason and it carried over and our lack of discipline and penatlies was evident and carried over. It is cool to see both improved especially in the early part of games when the 1st unit was in this preseason. I do think our backend depth on offense though is extremely weak this year (I mean our last 5-6 offensive roster spots). I think we should be working the waivers hard!
Something else was evident in that the BU QB was not really able to take care of business if Campbell got injured and we did nothing about it. That set up the desperation CP trade.

I would be very surprised if MM34 gets cut, he was having a great camp and preseason up until last night. He had a few bad series and it started with his hit on the WR, he didn’t even try to make a play on the ball, he wanted the big hit, but was just a tad early. than he was out of position a couple times after that. I think they will look at his overall play and not just cut him for a couple bad series

MH,you have to realize that all the back-ups won’t play at once and when you just plug in one guy with the regulars he could look entirely different as a player than when playing with the other BUs.That is why during practice games they run very basic offenses.It is easier to evaluate them.

Mistic – You know I was one of the first; if not thee first person to cry with you (literally, I almost cried, I don’t know about you – Lol) that morning we traded for Carson; but after seeing what we saw this preseason, I’d still have to say Pryor is a good year away – easy. We still didn’t see one difficult throw completed (over linebackers but underneath DBs) or any strikes in super tight coverage. Yet and still; even in saying that; I’m sure his playmaking ability with the ones could be benefited from; but it’d be a disservice to the team to start him this year. I hope he’s a year away though! As for Carson; as long as DMAC is healthy, hopefully he can at least manage games somewhat and give us his occasional nice deep ball (which he does do very well) and we can make this year stretch for what its worth…
================
Im with you on that. Im proposing that pryor should get some starts after week 11-12, if we are clearly out of the race. especially if palmer continues to flounder.
I am also pointing out that as a passer he badly out played our other two qbs this preseason. Although fans will say it is meaningless, and the media will barley acknowledge it, D.A and big mck noticed it, and im sure want to know more about what the kid can do.
I can almost guarantee that if the season slips away you will see pryor. Not only because of his play making, but because of how he performed passing the ball in games this preseason. For one they need to evaluate him so why wait until next pre season if this season turns out to be a losing effort. For two the pryor move would give fans a reason to buy tix in a losing rebuilding season. Third is he has earned that opportunity if it arises, based on his work ethic and on filed results this preseason. Pryor made plays that no other qb came close to duplicating on our team this preseason and it sticks out like a sore thumb.

If the OC calls a game like that in the regular season, we are doomed.
What’s with all the middle screens? They don’t work in the NFL because the D linemen are too tall.
And the ZBS looks terrible. DMAC prefers straight ahead blocking.
Can we bring back Hue to be the OC? He was actually pretty imaginative.

Raider O
I normally agree with you but do not remember our offense having trouble scoring until we lost McFadden and that was 6 games into the season. I do agree our run defense really sucked last preseason and it carried over and our lack of discipline and penatlies was evident and carried over. It is cool to see both improved especially in the early part of games when the 1st unit was in this preseason. I do think our backend depth on offense though is extremely weak this year (I mean our last 5-6 offensive roster spots). I think we should be working the waivers hard!
Something else was evident in that the BU QB was not really able to take care of business if Campbell got injured and we did nothing about it. That set up the desperation CP trade.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
1960AW,
You are right about us not having issues when DMAC was healthy, but I do think we had the talent to score more points after he was injured, but we didn’t due to the play calling and not making the proper adjustments . I think Hue was trying to be too creative like running a reverse with Housh (I can’t remember exactly who it was, but I do remember he was the slowest guy on that offense)
August 31st, 2012 at 12:52 pm
Is it too early to fire the special team coach? Not that it’s not a brutal job to begin with. Special teams coach has to take the table scraps from the WR’s and LB’s and somehow develop a group of 11 angry men who are willing to sacrifice their bodies to make a play, when most of them would rather be starters. And poor special teams coach has no input on draft day. He can’t say, “draft so-and-so, he’d be a great gunner!”. He has to stay quiet and make chicken salad out of chicken ish. Usually with a group of undertalented scrubs in preseason games that don’t matter. But whoever we have right now isn’t working out, or else the personnel isn’t working. Or it’s an either/or/and situation. Anyway, I want to chime in with that thought thinking about how big it would be to have a ST Ace like Rock back in Silver and Black.

August 31st, 2012 at 12:53 pm
Given the other transactions thus far today, here’s what I would like to see for the 53-man roster:
QB – Palmer, Leinart, Pryor
HB – McFadden, Jones, Goodson, Bell*
FB – Reece
LT – Veldheer, Barksdale
LG – Carlisle, Bergstrom
C – Wisniewski, Koppen*
RG – Brisiel
RT – Barnes
WR – D. Moore, Heyward-Bey, Ford, Streater, Criner, Parrish
TE – Myers, Gordon, E. Moore*, Ausberry
DT – Seymour, Kelly, Bryant, Bilukidi
LE – Houston, Crawford
RE – Shaughnessy, Tollefson
WLB – Burris, Kilgore (until Curry returns from PUP)
MLB – McClain, Goethel
SLB – Wheeler, Ihenacho
CB – Bartell, Spencer, Hanson*, Van Dyke, McCann
SS – Branch, Mitchell
FS – Huff, Giordano, Underwood
LS – Condo
K – Janikowski
P – Lechler
* = Street FA signing
Practice Squad: Cumbie, Stupar, Carrier, Burnett, Nix, Hamilton, Efaw, Kilgore (after Curry returns from PUP)
IR: King (apparent foot injury), Hurd, Calhoun, Kurn, Wang
As for the FA signings: Hanson would give the Raiders a legitimate nickel CB – maybe one of the best in the league. Moore would give the Raiders another option in the passing game – he’s a dynamic TE/WR hybrid type of player caught in an offense that couldn’t get him the ball. Koppen would be a veteran stopgap – an improvement over Parsons, and veteran insurance if Wisniewski is less than 100% when the season starts. Bell gives the Raiders a much-needed 4th RB – perfect fit for the ZBS, with enough size to help in the red zone.
Schmitt and Lee would be the odd men out in this scenario. Lee may be slightly better than McCann, but the Raiders need McCann for returns. Can’t justify carrying 2 FBs with Gordon on the roster.

Evan Moore cant block is my big problem with him.
And if Bell is signed, Goodson isnt needed.
Also, if Parrish makes the team, McCann is pointless.
IMO, of course.
Agree on bringing Koppen & Hanson in though.

i did not make any record prediction so i dont see your point.
The numbers though do show that pryor was the best qb we had during the pre season.
==========================================
My point is you can make little to any conclusions from the preseason. Last night was a perfect example. Pete Carrol was doing everything he could to win the game. He left in his starters, was playing lst rounders at the end of the game, etc. We were looking at players. Tough to draw conclusions when there are completely different agenda’s out there.
August 31st, 2012 at 1:00 pm
Parrish would be for depth at slot WR, too. And the way it looks, the Raiders need to hedge their bets at PR and KR, because no one on the roster right now looks lights-out necessarily.
Moore can’t block, but he’d also be immediately the best receiver the Raiders have at that position.
I think the Raiders would be smart to carry 4 RBs going into the season, and just hope that most of them stay healthy. Health is a huge concern for this group – and even Bell to a certain extent.
August 31st, 2012 at 1:00 pm
O, thought this was a family show.
August 31st, 2012 at 1:01 pm
I like the additions of Bell, Hansen, Koppen and Moore. But wonder if Koppen is at the age where he’s got nothing left. Bell was a cut because he wouldn’t take a pay cut. May have too high salary demands. Hansen is certainly an upgrade at the nickel CB, and Moore is better than any TE we have on roster.
But I wouldn’t protect Ausberry and carry a 4th TE. Likewise, I’d not carry Goodson and his weak shouldered – small hands. And Parish played himself out of a potential roster spot last night.

Yeah, depth is going to be a huge concern along the O-line in particular. The LB group could be an issue, too, but Tollefson’s presence helps.
WR, OL, CB, RB, and LB are all pretty thin as it is right now. Although if Moore and Ford get healthy, the WR group will look much better. It’ll be interesting to see what the Raiders do.

HB – McFadden, Jones, Hightower**
FB – Reece, Schmidt
LT – Veldheer, Barksdale
LG – Carlisle, Bergstrom
C – Wisniewski, Current starting center forgot name?
RG – Brisiel
RT – Barnes
WR – D. Moore, Heyward-Bey, Ford, Streater, Criner, FA signing**.
TE – Myers, Ausberry, FA signing**
DEFENSE
DT – Seymour, Kelly, Bryant, Bilukidi
LE – Houston, Crawford
RE – Shaughnessy, Tollefson
WLB – Burris, Stupar
MLB – McClain, Goethel
SLB – Wheeler, Ihenacho
CB – Bartell, Spencer, Lee, Chekwa, Van Dyke, McCann
SS – Branch, Mitchell
FS – Huff, Giordano, Underwood
LS – Condo
K – Carmona***
P – Lechler
Note my big prediction is Carmona beats out Jano. This is more hope than reality though. Jano is getting too injury prone and Carmona is reliable enough and much cheaper! I am also predicting at least three free agent signings for the offense so there will be some turnover after the intial 53 are announced.

Thats why I didnt try to extrapolate any depper meanings and took the raw numbers at face value.
No matter what the so called “agenda” is for a team an individuals play can be measured by the numbers during preseason. in fact an individuals play during the preseason manes even more than the outcome of the game for the team.
Pryor badly out played palmer and lienart according to the numbers. higher comp % higher yards per attempt more tds and fewer picks
Your analogy doesnt fit or counter my point
pryor will be a major topic if we are out of the playoffs at the end of the season.

August 31st, 2012 at 1:18 pm
My prediction on the offense – It is all about McFadden. If DM is healthy it creates all kinds of problems for defenses in terms of him as a reciever. With him and Reese lined up – all I can say is Wow! CP3 is servicable at QB and at times is unstopable when he gets hot. He may need a game or two to get into offense but for some reason plays well against SD so he may have a quick start.
Maimi is really messed up right now so I think the Raiders will actually fly out there and do well if DM is healthy.
I think the Raiders will be 2-0 when Pitt comes in. This will be a real test for Palmer. I really do not know which way it will go. If he learns to dink and dunk like Gannon did, the Raiders could destroy them but that has not been Palmers game. Having McFad and Reese healthy and maybe Denarious Moore healthy could make a big difference.
After this it is all about match ups and injuries. By this time we could have McFad and Den. Moore out and be in real trouble or have good health and be clicking. This stuff is just really hard to predict.

Got caught up at the gig for a sec….now; for 1; I’m too lazy to scroll back up and even comment on the ridiculous comment that “Carson is great” Lol I’ll settle for good and will be cheering for good; but can guarantee you I haven’t seen a GREAT Raider QB for about a decade…. but lets hope CP is good…Lord knows my blood pressure can’t take it when we’re terrible and I’m only 30! Lol
Carson was able to show he can make the difficult throws every now and then; it’s just his decision making on when to put air under the ball versus zip it in, and sometimes where he’s even going with the ball the first place becomes a consistent issue more often than the Raider Nation would like….I’m pulling for a miraculous DMac season (2000+ total yards) resulting in a scenario where Carson only has to chuck it 20-25 times a game.
I’m waaaaaaaaaaaaay more concerned with our cornerbacks than I am Carson though at this point.

Maybe you throw it out because you like Jano but I think it should occur. In my post I said this is more hope than reality so I acknowledge it probably will not happen but I do think the rest of my predictions are sound in that we are not happy with our thrid back, third TE, and last WR spot.
My opinion on SeaBass is not based on him being bad but expensive and also injury prone. Thats all we need to have to carry two kickers at times while Jano is getting over a groin injury or something throughout the season.

For those of you who missed Roger Goddell’s letter to the fans:To NFL Fans:
The 2012 NFL regular season is about to begin, and it promises to be another exciting, competitive, and unpredictable year of football which NFL fans have come to expect every season.
Part of our responsibility in helping teams and players prepare for each NFL season is to make sure they understand and respect league policies and rules. As always, we hold everyone, including ourselves, strictly accountable for protecting the integrity of the game, starting with the health and safety of our players. This year is no exception – bringing with it a clear, consistent, and renewed emphasis on enforcing our longstanding “bounty” prohibition.
Let me be clear: there is no place for bounties in football. No exceptions. No excuses. Bounties are an affront to everything that competitive sports should represent. Everyone in the NFL is responsible for adhering to these rules and we are all accountable for protecting the safety of our players – present and future.
The bounty prohibition forbids offering or accepting any reward – cash or otherwise – for on-field misconduct, plays that incentivize or result in injury to opposing players, or for performance against an opposing player, group of players, or team. The bounty prohibition not only preserves the competitive integrity of our game, but also protects player safety by removing incentives that could lead to dangerous play or unnecessary and/or intentional injury. As a league, we will ensure that the prohibition against bounties is clearly understood and consistently enforced. Period.
We will aggressively protect the health, safety and long-term livelihood of our players, both on the field and off. We can preserve the fierce competition that makes football great, while simultaneously committing to the relentless pursuit of safer play. Our players do not make excuses on the field; we will not make them off the field.
It is our job to protect, preserve, and promote the game of football that we all love. We want an exciting game featuring the world’s most talented football players enjoying long and successful careers. The bounty prohibition plays an instrumental role in achieving that. And we are committed to holding every team, player and owner accountable.
We appreciate your interest and hope you enjoy the 2012 NFL season.

Why would god take time out of his day to rescue a 70 year old man from falling asleep at the wheel then let Sandusky rape little kids for 15 years…you would think that IF there was a god he would be smart enough to prioritize things like that DOH!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I understand what you are saying, and I used to say the same thing. Why would god allow a child to be raped or abused? I can’t answer that, but I do know god has a plan for everyone/ everything, and sometimes it’s had for us to understand it. Maybe the kid who was abused will grow up to be a great man/ woman who due to his/ her past is doing a lot of great things to save thousands of kids from rape and abuse.

August 31st, 2012 at 1:44 pm
I have a feeling Reggie won’t bring in any players that people here want, more than likely it will be a couple guys we never heard of or know little about, but will be better than those name guys. Like Hanson or hightower or that Pats center with a bum ankle. However I could see Rock come back, we need a ST ace and leader for ST unit.
More than likely he will bring in an O-linemen non of us heard of and a CB, LB if Curry goes on pup.

I will say that homosexuality can be a cultural phenomenon also. Look at priests. They molest little boys because that is their only option, same with prison sex. Why would someone choose to be gay?

Intrepid, hows the trout fishing in the Trinity alps? Browns, brooks, rainbow?
And do the llamas pack ice chests?//////////////////All the usual suspects but with 9 llamas and 9 clients I barely had time to remember how to throw a flyline. One of the girls hung some powerbait under a bobber and caught decent 13-14 inch I didn’t know what trout. Kinda german but spots wrong color, kinda brook but no red. Got out the Trinity alps guide book and bingo,Eastern brook trout. Got home and did a google image search and that was it. Anyway,he stayed for dinner. We can always put an ice chest in a pannier(saddlebag), and also have cooler/strap assembly that replaces a pannier. Also, similar set-up with bear boxes. I ave knocked ‘em dead in previous trips, rainbows mostly and, of course ,have also been skunked. Did you get the dropbox link and see the pictures?

Still comes down to a choice man.
There is no denying the fact there is a choice involved.
I have a relative(by marriage) who is a man, very feminine. I said he was gay the moment I met him.
He was. Later said he only did it because everyone expected it out of him and kept calling him that. Later turned back straight.
Choice.

Biology and sexual orientation is the subject of research into the role of biology in the development of human sexual orientation. No simple, single cause for sexual orientation has been conclusively demonstrated. Various studies point to different, even conflicting positions, such as a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences,[1] with biological factors involving a complex interplay of genetic factors and the early uterine environment,[2] or no genetic influence.[3] Biological factors which may be related to the development of a heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual or asexual orientation include genes, prenatal hormones, and brain structure.

Welcome to the Bread & Breakfast #2 offense with your coach Knapp.
Luckily we have damned good talent all around that even a crappy scheme not catering to any of their strengths, they’ll still manage to make plays and not have us at the bottom of the league. But without a strong running game his offenses don’t move AT ALL.
Really, 5 first downs all game? I know it’s not with starters, but they weren’t playing their starters either.

Compare, from walking in off the couch, no time to learn a playbook, no training camps or organized activities or offseason time to throw with the receivers to get timing down, last year Palmer looked comfortable pretty quickly.
This year so far…
“In 17 preseason possessions, Carson Palmer led the Raiders to one touchdown.
Palmer’s adjustment to new OC Greg Knapp’s offense has been rocky. In four preseason games, he went 33-of-56 (58.9 percent) for 321 yards with four interceptions and one touchdown.”
And, weapons like Reece are being entirely unused.

For gravity to exist, there needs to be mass. Higgs Boson particle is supposedly what gives mass to all objects, so it could have a big influence on gravity, yet what, or how much is not known. It used to be believed that the rotation of the earth is what caused gravity to exist, but that theory has come into question recently.
The only thing absolutely known and certain about gravity is that it exists. But how it actually works and what it is exactly is still being studied.
Einstein stated that when mass reached the speed of light, and doubled it, it would transform into energy. what actually happens at this point and after is not known because, well, we haven’t been able to conduct those experiments as of yet. At least that I know of. We have thrown atoms around and stuff, but not actually done it with let’s say an apple, pencil, or living thing. We are getting close though.
Some believe time travel could be achieved at that point, but really, no one really knows yet.
Black holes have huge gravity because of their huge mass. They take in whatever crosses their path, and absorb the mass of such objects, even light. So just imagine how strong the gravity is when light itself, going as fast as it does, cannot even escape it’s pull. Pretty amazing huh? Which is why some quantum physics scientists believe that black holes could be like worm holes in the universe, a form of time travel, if you will.
And why the black hole at the O. is as amazing as it is…lol Nothing escapes it!

From the National Academy of Sciences for those with only a tenuous grasp of the English language and/or science.
Theory: In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.
The contention that evolution should be taught as a “theory, not as a fact” confuses the common use of these words with the scientific use. In science, theories do not turn into facts through the accumulation of evidence. Rather, theories are the end points of science. They are understandings that develop from extensive observation, experimentation, and creative reflection. They incorporate a large body of scientific facts, laws, tested hypotheses, and logical inferences. In this sense, evolution is one of the strongest and most useful scientific theories we have.

“Einstein then spent much of his later life searching for a way to reconcile gravity and electromagnetism – without success. That is not surprising. As a theoretical mathematician he had no knowledge of the plasma universe and took no account of the electrical nature of matter. So , despite his apparently prodigious accomplishments, his work also helped to inspire an unhealthy trend in physics, wherein a mathematical skeleton is dressed with whatever flesh the mind can imagine. In the extreme, this tendency promotes highly selective perception, as new observations are forced to fit theoretical expectations, giving rise to imaginary black holes, dark matter, dark energy, and other uniquely modern fictions.”

SOME ANALYSIS
-the raiders roster depth is bad. it showed last nite.
-all teams were playing their second and third teams yesterday, see 49′ers destroying chargers, and you get the point.
-Our Knap Time offense relies on a simple idea: ZB.
-Zb is this: run the ball lateral, then make a cut and do. Nice, but, what happens when the Dline is penetrating and getting in the backfield all game, like seatle did last night? What happens is that the ZB scheme bombs big time. And you will see teams put 8 in box and stop our offense on 3 and outs. Cause Palmer aint no scatback on those bootlegs.
-Im feeling scared about RM evaluating talent. 96 Bilukdi and 91 Crawford, are slow, and dont need to be playing on sundays. Bad picks. What does it say about RM?

Gio is the only true ball-hawk we have imo/
August 31st, 2012 at 4:42 pm
Huff hasn’t made a single play outside of an assisted tackle this pre season….that and my personal feeling is he is soft and basically sucks….
Gio has made plays….too many to count this pre season…he is smarter, he prepares, he tackles, he is always around the ball…
This regime claims the best players will play…
We will see…
If Gio only gets on the field when Huff bumps down to the nickle or dime corner than SOMETHING is rotten…
August 31st, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Gio is a true professional and it seems Huff’s mind is always elsewhere.

Really thought that would be great?
Redskins are flush with backs, so I thought it made sense they cut Hightower.
Then I saw that the Redskins are thinking of trading for Steve Slaton from the Dolphins for Anthony Armstrong.
Wonder if Hightower isn’t over his ACL injury? Might be damaged?

I listen to him every morning. He actually said they will be between 6-10 and 9-7 and he thinks they are headed in the right direction with new GM and new direction for the organization.
Just thinks it will take a few years to get everything together.
I agree with him. Raiders were put in a horrible position due to terrible salary cap management and loss of draft picks over the last few seasons.

August 31st, 2012 at 5:18 pm
I hope Knapp is as creative as Hue in getting use of out of the roster on offense. Meaning, guys like Reece, Taiwan and Jacoby Ford should have a few opportunities a game.
Raiders are a much better team than many realize with DMAC. The offense is able to dictate with him in there

yeah, that could have been today. He was doing a game last week where he was giving each team a 3 or 4 game swing. Went through every team in the league.

============
Different players, though. Hanson still playing at a high level as a nickel CB. Right now, the Raiders don’t have anyone who can change direction in the open field well enough to be a consistent nickel CB. Only reason he got cut is because the Eagles have a talented guy in Trevard Lindley who is younger and cheaper.
Florence hasn’t been good in a couple years, and wouldn’t be a whole lot of help in the slot.

“Einstein then spent much of his later life searching for a way to reconcile gravity and electromagnetism – without success. That is not surprising. As a theoretical mathematician he had no knowledge of the plasma universe and took no account of the electrical nature of matter. So , despite his apparently prodigious accomplishments, his work also helped to inspire an unhealthy trend in physics, wherein a mathematical skeleton is dressed with whatever flesh the mind can imagine. In the extreme, this tendency promotes highly selective perception, as new observations are forced to fit theoretical expectations, giving rise to imaginary black holes, dark matter, dark energy, and other uniquely modern fictions.”
