10-6
August 31st, 2012 at 8:40 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.

King on IR = 2013 starting punter
August 31st, 2012 at 8:41 pm
Thank you for your time Mr. Parrish, now get the hell out of here.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:41 pm
I would be suprised if Curry is ready after 6 weeks.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:43 pm
LOL at the King love.
His first game (Dallas) he had a punting average that would have put him DEAD LAST in the NFL in 2011.
Next game, he has a punt blocked and shows no skill, pooch punting.
Next game, he hurts his foot with no contact.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:45 pm
Parrish was still trying to put his helmet on when The Turk cut him.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:45 pm
Gotta develop young talent. King might have it. Better than being left high and dry next year, but whi givves a f..k about next year because 9 10 12 is all that matters today!

It is the truth.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:47 pm
Explain putting a reserve punter on IR? King is clearly talented, and the ‘next-gen’ Raider punter. They don’t want him being picked up by another team. Lechler off-contract end of this year. Reggie can save another 5M or whatever on the cap.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:47 pm
“Terminated WR Roscoe Parrish (8)”
++++++++++++++++++++
Was he hung or shot?
August 31st, 2012 at 8:47 pm
At least we had guy name Roscoe that we can make fun of.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:48 pm
I don’t know if he’ll be the 2013 starter, but he at least gives the Raiders some flexibility at the position. He’s talented enough to stash on IR for the year and see what he has in training camp next time around.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:48 pm
Next years punter. SL will retire after this year.

Damn Underwood was looking good , too bad he got injured on that one that 1 tackle
August 31st, 2012 at 8:49 pm
Loved the Lechler but Reggie knows he can’t pay big money to punter. We get one more season at least.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:49 pm
I don’t want another punter who out kicks his coverage….
I understand we may have had 2 of the best punters of all time on this team….but we out punt our coverage too often…
A punter with a powerful leg might be the most overrated thing in the league….IMO, especially if he can’t pin the returner into the sideline….
August 31st, 2012 at 8:50 pm
O will go ballistic if SL’s back next year. DA won’t do that to O.

#16 spot on
August 31st, 2012 at 8:50 pm
Turk: Roscoe, put your helmet down. Bring your playbook.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:50 pm
Even Al should have known this…
August 31st, 2012 at 8:52 pm
Also keep in mind the new IR rules are in effect this year, they’ve been agreed to by NFLPA and NFL. A person on IR can come back and play this year within 21 days of coming of IR.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:52 pm
Lechler is great at hitting them high and pinning the return man….not speaking out against him….just against punters with powerful legs and no concept of what they need to be doing…
August 31st, 2012 at 8:53 pm
King is a perfect example…
August 31st, 2012 at 8:54 pm
Explain putting a reserve punter on IR?
**************************
Wel we IR’d Jeff Otis once and put him on the practice squad twice.
Didn’t mean much of anything did it?
August 31st, 2012 at 8:54 pm
From the Raiders web site:
“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.”
Terminated?
August 31st, 2012 at 8:54 pm
Nix will be replaced and then put on practice squad. I predicted a long time ago he could stick.
5 DTs means Seymour could be done.
Only 5 LBs and 7 CBs means reggie looking for someone to take DVD or chekwa. New LB on the way.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:54 pm
Klas , you still awake?
August 31st, 2012 at 8:55 pm
Carrier will go to practice squad. If another team doesn’t snatch him. Remember DA said something about not playing some players in fear they perform well and get picked up from waivers trying to stash them on the PS.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:55 pm
5 DTs means Seymour could be done.
================
They’ll be closely monitoring the amount of snaps he takes this season. Not a 3-down player anymore.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:56 pm
I think Seymour may retire.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:56 pm
I still stick with my stance that we won’t bring in anybody of the street who will play anything besides ST.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:56 pm
5 WRs makes me think they’re still looking to add another piece in the passing game.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:57 pm
Carrier could be a TE. He’s big and tenacious.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:57 pm
Only surprise for me was Stupar, thought he earned a spot with his performance in Seattle. 11 tackles yesterday…
August 31st, 2012 at 8:57 pm
Armando Allen (HB) we should snatch up from waivers. Bears crazy to waive him.
Also, maybe we can try to trade for Pierre Thomas or better Travaris Cadet from the Saints.
August 31st, 2012 at 8:58 pm
Rolling the dice on lonyae miller hope we don’t crapout
August 31st, 2012 at 8:58 pm
I don’t know about a wr. If healthy we don’t need a vet blocking time for the guys we have.

===================
Not necessarily a WR. I still think the Raiders might be looking at Evan Moore, who was signed as a UDFA by the Packers in 2008. They don’t need a guy who can start, but if Moore and Ford are touch-and-go from a health standpoint this season (like they were last season), they’re down to 3 WRs. Will need someone familiar enough with the offense to be a change of pace in the passing game.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Armando Allen is really good but small. I’d like us to get a between the tackles guy like Michael Bennett. It’s ok if he doesn’t play but if needed he can carry it 20 times. Goodson jones and DMc all injury risks.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:01 pm
i agree totally hope he’s PS bound

Seriously? Michael Bennett is 33, and going to jail for wire fraud.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:02 pm
Thinking also return guy as depth RB.
I dont like anyone we’ve had returning kicks apart from Ford, but he’s now constantly nicked. Could end up on the bubble ultimately.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:02 pm
Nathan Stupar i mean
August 31st, 2012 at 9:03 pm
Reggie trying to hold on to DVD and/or chekwa b/c they may be tradable. Frenzies played pretty well as a corner. Lee has played well. McCann made a nice play on the ball and is our return man now.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:03 pm
Told everybody that Goodson wouldn’t be waived.
I don’t think it was even considered.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:03 pm
Kahlil Bell might be the best fit for the Raiders offense.
That said, I think they intend on getting Marcel Reece involved more than they led on this preseason.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:04 pm
We’re cheating.. underwood & king are fine..
August 31st, 2012 at 9:04 pm
Lol. I meant how Bennett was when he was here. A back u knew could handle it but it was no big deal if he sat.

They should have taken a shot with Burfict.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:05 pm
Stupar’s name kind of surprised me.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:05 pm
#48 i imagine Underwood will be a candidate for the new IR rule…being eligble to return to the 53 man roster.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:06 pm
Nobody dropped a solid te?
August 31st, 2012 at 9:07 pm
Stupar sucked the whole time even the first part of the game last night. Then suddenly he started getting involved. Light went on. He could come back after DVD or chekwa are dealt.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:08 pm

===============
Evan Moore. More of a TE/WR hybrid player, though.
As I mentioned above, he was initially signed as a UDFA by the Pakcers in 2008, during McKenzie’s tenure there.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:10 pm
DVD or Chekwa aren’t being dealt.
Who would give up ANYTHING for them?
August 31st, 2012 at 9:10 pm
If the Raiders are still looking to add a DE/OLB, Adrian Hamilton was cut by the Cowboys. He was impressive this preseason.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:13 pm
Nope….just a bunch of solid deuces.

No way we roll with 7 CB’s and 5 LB’s. 5dt’s makes sense b/c of Seymour.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:14 pm
Impressive players don’t get cut.

Reggie aint done gents, would have liked Kilgore or Stupar to make it though.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:16 pm
When Curry comes back, they will probably drop a DB, as the same if Jacoby can take over the return role, McCann could be cut by the end of September.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:17 pm
List of Players Who Shouldn’t Get Too Comfortable:
Jamie Cumbie
Coye Francies
Lucas Nix
Cumbie and Nix could easily be re-signed to the PS if they’re bumped off the roster for someone else.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:22 pm
RegMac is bold. Keeping King is smart. But keeping the OC is unbold.
Like I said in my post game report live from Seattle last night, I’ll repeat, I want to see the Raidahs butt roast the chargers to dispell any doubt that Knapp is screwing up the offense. A butt roast is a must. A flat out roasting. Nothing less will be satisfactory.
August 31st, 2012 at 9:24 pm
Saints have 5 tailbacks on roster and DA has major ties to the team. Maybe Reggie working on something for Pierre Thomas or Chris Ivory?
Also backup center/guard Matt Tennant was waived. A pretty solid player IMO.
August 31st, 2012 at 10:15 pm
Some Roster breakdown
Qb’s let’s hope Palmer doesn’t go down or will be a long season
Rb’s same with Mcfadden
Te’s Not solid but not need to.
OL’s above average starting unit below average depth
Wr’s I think they are overrated i’d rank them about 20 from 32
Dl’s keeping 5 dt’s means they are not confident in Seymour’s health still team’s best unit
LB’s Wheeler has pro bowl potential could be best player by the end of the season i don’t like Burris too much but he won’t see the field against passing teams
DB’s cb’s easily team’s worst unit, after Bartell there are a bunch of number 4 and 5 cb’s sad to see Pat Lee is going to be the nickel corner.
ST’s after Lechler and Jano this is a highly suspect unit.
Best case scenario 9-7
worst case 3-13
It means we could easily go 6-10 and won’t be surprised.
Depth is a big concern here

I don’t know about you but i feel funny saying I love the movie “The Princess Bride” but i just did.

Hello all, making my debut on this site, although I’ve been reading it for awhile. Raiders team could win the West or be dead last and a top 5 pick. Have to stay healthy because depth is a huge issue, especially at major skill positions. The Gut has a bit of work to do and this roster will not be the one to start the season. It’s round 2 of our offseason bargain hunting.

I think Seymour may retire.
_______________________________
He should retire but will hang on to collect $15M this year before signing with NE Patsies to retire as one. I sound like a broken record but we have AD to thank for Seymour’s contract situation to put us in this kinda bind. Another genius move which in terms of worst AD moves doesn’t even come close to his all time masterpiece of Walker’s contract but close.
