Raiders sign four to practice squad
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, September 1st, 2012 at 1:48 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders announced the signing of linebacker Kaelin Burnett, wide receiver Brandon Carswell, wide receiver Travionte Session and linebacker Nathan Stupar to the practice squad Saturday.
All were waived during the reduction Friday to 53 players.
No confirmation from the Raiders yet on the signing of two players _ former Redskins lineman Willie Smith and former Eagles linebacker Keenan Clayton. Clayton reported he’d signed with the Raiders on his Twitter acount.
The Raiders can add four more players to their practice squad.

Ain’t the same without the old man.
Would have been nice if he agreed to step back and delegate, but still had the final word and veto power.
He was one of a kind and the Raids were unique.
We’re, more or less, just 1 of 32 now.
Still the only team for me, but it just ain’t the same.

Exactly, #1. He knows this too. How long again did it take for him to sign with the Bears as a backup? Campbell knows his limits. The trolls and bigots do not.

Too much credit/blame is placed on the QB today. For all you know the defense scored 10 points in those games, as an example. It’s just too easy to point the finger at one guy on a 45 player team and say this is why we won.

This JC argument makes me sad. Why all this dissonance over someone who isn’t even here anymore. He wasn’t even here for half of the season last year. Let’s move on from JC. He obviously has moved on from us.

I’ll take JC type performance for pay at his position over the salary cap crushing plodding performances from guys like Gerard Warren, Javon Walker, Stanford Routt and Kamerion Wimbley.

Right on saint. Some delusional fans here say the season turned bad last year when Campbell went down, but anyone with a brain knows the season turned against KC when McFadden went down before Palmer even set foot on the field. I am excited to watch those two guys compliment each other.
September 1st, 2012 at 2:02 pm
You know one thing I have noticed this preseason, about the replacement refs, is that it seems we are getting a lot more calls in our favor than before. Not to bring up a “the refs are against us” thing, but really, it seems like this replacement refs have made a lot more calls this offseason against other teams than what I remember the regular refs making. And not many against us either. It could just be the result of a better and more discipline team, but still, something I thought was worth mentioning.
And something interesting to watch into the season. Or as far as the replacements will go.

*************************
On the micro level yes, but not on the Macro level.
The QB, and the HC, are the only variable for teams over years that don’t change.
Like you said, sometimes the D plays good sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes the #1 RB is hurt, sometimes he isn’t. Sometimes the WR fumbles, sometimes he breaks a tackle and goes 70 yards.
But the QB takes the ball from center and audibles at the line if need be, 100% of the time. Over years, the turnover at the other positions is mind-boggling, yet the QB stays the same.
Especially in today’s NFL, where the QB is the focal point of almost every rule change, and it catered for them to succeed if they are studs.

And stop with the JaBust.
That guy cost this franchise dearly….he alone cost this franchise two and possibly three 1st rounders, possibly a 2nd rounder, a 3rd rounder, and a 4th rounder. Plus the opportunity to draft a hellva a lot of good position players.
All because he was lazy and a drug addict.
JaBustus was the worst draft pick in sports history
September 1st, 2012 at 2:07 pm
Honestly tho, I liked JC.
I didn’t love him as our QB cus he didn’t play with a ton of confidence so I didn’t feel like he would fire up and win a game for us, but I did like him because he didn’t make any really bad decisions, so as long as the Oline held up he wouldn’t really lose a game for us either
And with the pathetic defenses that we had, we should really be grateful that JC didn’t turn the ball over anymore than he did.
JC was kind of like a Nissan in a lot full of used Fords. Meh.

Those first 6 games Hue Jackson stopped calling DMC’s # in the 2nd half. DMac would carry 1st half and Hue would phase him out of the 3rd and 4th and just start passing. That’s how games got away from us.. plus defense and our lack of return coverage. Seriously, no coverage at all.
I think if Greg Knapp has any intelligence he’ll keep DMC consistent throughout the game and not depend on Carson.
We got to 8-8 with a pop warner chuck bresnasuck defense. Also take into account Michael Bush faded out towards the end of the season and that we didn’t have Ford/D.Wow/DMC.
Pretty much with Carson, DHB and Glass Schilens and some mystery men we got into playoff contentions in our MIGHTY division.
Our defense is decent now with a mad scientist drawing up some artisan mechanics, no more bresnahan crayon drawings -so we should be much better!
And with that I think we will finally be able to evaluate our starting talent since they are actually now in a real defensive scheme.
We just need to control turnovers on offense and have input on play calling so we can give our play makers an opportunity.
That and Jano needs to learn to make everything under 50 yards and special teams needs to actually block and cover for the return man.
We also have penalties down with these replacement refs, so GOOD GAME
Look at it like this
Jason Campbell was a game manager and probably only let it rip 2-3 times in his life including high school. He looked like a product of hard work, and I’ll never forget that KC game, but it never felt like he was comfortable in his skin as a QB and only seemed to take sure shots -always seemed hesitant. Even his sliding was awkward and dangerous.
Now Carson Palmer, we have a guy who will fit it in when he’s ON, and can make people open just with precision timing.
We won’t need to see Palmer take risks if play calling is adequate and you keep our RBs/FBs relevant.
I say we can win 10+
cause I’ve been watching raider football right out the womb! I didn’t know what was happening, but apparently it made me quite, so my parents just keep feeding me games. Bless their souls :’)
BUT YEAH! all other football organizations and football analysis don’t know what’s up, we’ll make this work NATION!

Reggie obviously thinks he can, and no doubt Knapp and Pollack looked at his game tapes and signed off on him.
September 1st, 2012 at 2:42 pm
I wouldn’t worry about Wiz being injury prone. He played last year with an injures shoulder and know one knew he had it till the season ended. I doubt that he would have missed the last three games if they hadn’t been meaningless exhibitions.

No guarantees it will happen but there are no guarantees it won’t either.However if Palmer plays the way many believe he can and will play for 3-4 years, giving up a 1 and a 2 was a good deal especially considering we couldn’t have gotten a franchise QB in the draft.

Just asking a question about reggie felles.All i know about him is he was highly reccomended,other than the glare from his bottom lip gives me a headache that is.Dont like the move to zoneblocking,nor the murphy trade.Hate the fact that bush is gone.The only thing that impresses me about him is he wants to win with defence.but kinda destroyed the offence at the same time.SEE gregg knapp.

Strictly talking about the trade, not CP as a player, the Raiders panicked and gave up more than the market value.
CP, off the couch, was worth a 2nd round pick….not a 1st and a 2nd.
Teams generally don’t get better routinely trading away top draft picks.
With all that said, Carson Palmer needs to be a 1-10 QB…not a 15-20 QB

Philip Adams
Somewhat of a scouting report:
Adams said that after overcoming the big-school snub, his first clue that he might have a future in the game came when his coaches moved him from safety after his freshman year. That’s when things began to blossom for him, and he’s continued to prove himself over the years.
“I think when they moved me to corner, that really made me feel like I could play at the next level,” Adams said. “When the coaches said something to me about it, I was skeptical at first, because I felt pretty comfortable playing safety. But after I got in there, I got to a point I felt like I could cover anybody.”
At 5-foot-11, 192 pounds, he’s solidly built and not afraid to tackle. He’s also shown a strong instinct for the ball, with 11 interceptions in four years, two of those returned for touchdowns.
….
After the season, he was invited to play in a pair of postseason all-star games, the HBCU Senior Bowl and the Texas vs. The Nation game.
There, he impressed NFL scouts with his ability to play press coverage, one of the biggest demands when any college player moves up a level.
Phillip Adams
CB RET
SC State
DraftNasty.com Description
Philip Adams is a legitimate sleeper in the 2010 NFL Draft. His ability to high point the ball and make plays in the return game serve as valuable assets for the talented senior prospect. Here are some of our notes on the senior prospect from the year.

September 1st, 2012 at 3:16 pm
From a Philly sports site:
”
Keenan Clayton was a very puzzling case during his time in Philadelphia. He seemed to have some talent, but never got an opportunity to impact the defense at one of their weakest positions (linebacker). The coaches just never seemed to trust him. In the two years that he was on the team, the Eagles gave multiple opportunities to guys like Akeem Jordan, Moise Fokou, Jamar Chaney, and Casey Matthews, but the thought of putting Clayton on the field was apparently laughable. I’ll be interested to see if he goes somewhere else and succeeds.”

Adams (5-11, 195) played in 22 career games in two seasons with San Francisco, New England and Seattle. He was the 49ers’ seventh-round selection in the 2010 NFL Draft out of South Carolina State.
Clayton (6-1, 230) played in 21 games with one start in two seasons with Philadelphia. He was the Eagles’ fourth-round draft pick out of Oklahoma in 2010.
Smith (6-5, 310) played in four games with three starts for Washington last year. He joined the Redskins as a non-drafted free agent out of East Carolina in 2011.

YES I read all that.I also read everbody saying IN HUE WE TRUST.Now its reggies bottom lip will fix everything.Until he shows me different,I will always condemn alot of these moves that I think were ignorant.

That is because most have hope and faith despite the faults we see.
If we did not have some faith & hope it would take a lot of the fun out of it.

How can Palmer lovers be Hue haters? …………..oh never mind.

You lost me again Kell.

I get it. Hue is the reason Carson is here so if u like Carson then u like Hue for bringing him here.
I liked Hue. 8-8 with all he had to deal with in his first yr.?
Did he make some blunders? Heck yes. So do alot of coaches.
I was just sick of having a new dang coach every flippin yr.
——————————————————–
I was a Hue fan and Im a Palmer fan, but I can understand how someone could be a fan of one or the other. They are two different people, why can’t someone be a fan of Palmer but not Hue. If you say because he traded for him, well that person could be happy what Hue did, but doesn’t have to be a fan of his, plus Mark was the one who pulled the trigger on that trade anyway.

No, I was prepared to deal with the consequences and this is a debate about the value of the deal, not if Palmer is a good QB. I didn’t like what was given up.

RRS,I don’t agree with your assessment of Leinart.I believe he gets a lot of hate just because he played at USC.
——————————
I hate USC…especially since they hired Kiffin. What a Stellar academic establishment. But, it has nothing to do with how Leinart plays now. In fact, I wish it did.
Back at USC, Leinart thought he could perform at the highest level, at the highest level (the NFL). Now, he knows he’s just a mid-level talent at best, and whatever “aura” or “it factor” he had surrounding him at USC has evaporated.
Like or dislike USC…Leinart’s fragile, immature, has a weak arm, and isn’t even close to being the field general everyone expected coming out of college.
I will support Leinart as a Raider, and hope against hope he doesn’t get hurt if he gets called-upon to play this year. But, unless everything clicks just right for him and those around him, Leinart’s not likely to carry a Team far on his arm.

Lance was fired because, after Al c*ckblocking him on the Arkansas job and then not allowing him to bring in Monte as DC, he spent months actively trying to get fired. Al’s letter was in response to Lance’s constant pressers where he’d talk about all the cruddy players he was stuck with, and lament that management wouldn’t bring in anyone better. Lining up Jano for a 76-yarder and putting on the white unis at home was just the icing on the cake.

Truth is…besides the health of Peyton Manning’s neck and arm, the Raiders are the biggest mystery in the NFL this year.
We’re counting on rookies and re-treads, many in their first year here, to congeal into a great team. “We” have got a lot of talent. There’s little doubt that we’ll be a good team if we stay healthy. But, becoming a great team takes more than that.
I believe the Raiders have the talent to win the AFCW, regardless of Peyton’s health. If the re-treads hold up, and the rookies play like veterans, I believe the Raiders can make some Playoff noise.
These 5 things will mean 11+ wins this year:
#1…keep Carson Palmer upright
#1a…keep DMC upright
#3…finish in/near top-10 vs the run
#4…have more than DHB step-up at WR
#5…finish in the top-10 in total D

We’re talking about a guy chased out of town two straight times by teams that had little else at TE (I know Seattle has Zach, but they apparently run two-TE sets all the time), and who has NEVER been a team player. He’s exactly the opposite of what Reggie and DA would want.

I know somebody can name some 26 y/o guards in the NFL now that would completely dominate at the college level. Just sayn bergs you coulda at least been a late first round pick.
September 1st, 2012 at 4:03 pm
If the Raiders finish 6-10 then the only thing this blog will be talking about is who is the best QB, RB or DT available with the 1st pick.

SnB,
Palmer, McFadden & Kelly will be Raiders in 2013
Leinart, Goodson & Seymour ?? not likely

what if Kiffin had the authority to draft somebody other than JaWalrus and bring in his dad (Monte Kiffin) instead of Rob Ryan ??
Lance thought he’d have more say than he actually did. When he realized he was just a sockpuppet, he wanted out …
===========================================
Supposedly, Lance found that out right after his first season ended. He fired Rob Ryan without asking Al about it. When Rob stopped by Al’s office to say goodbye, Al told him he wasn’t fired and to go back to work. That’s when Lance marched into Al’s office demanding to bring Monte in, and that’s when Al drafted the resignation letter for Lance. But Lance didn’t want to sign it because he wouldn’t get paid. So he put us the franchise through the wringer instead.

September 1st, 2012 at 4:07 pm
I am an east Oakland native 3rd generation raider fan. This is the last thing i will say about it. One thing is clear many on this board never knew al Davis the superbowl winner , & only knew al Davis that was leading losing teams. So many here didn’t like Davis but wanted to be raider fans. Plenty of real raider fans had at least something that Davis did they didn’t like ( after 50 years it’s inevitable) but we all respected him and wanted him to win.
So for me watching al Davis hand picked players coach rise up and give us the last laugh was extremly enjoyable. Why didn’t you also enjoy winning with an explosive offense? Why didn’t you like jc come off the scrap heap provide leadership & set raider records & win? Why didn’t you enjoy DHB following his lead and begin to come into his own. These were guys that faced adversity and came up big as leaders and players in the. And of the raiders. They did it in true raider fashion as they had been written off.
If your own personal bias didn’t allow you to be a part of what happened I feel for you.
Remember jc came here an upgraded our qb play. Only so many people wante Bruce they couldn’t allow themselves to celebrate when jc eventually seized control and started to provide solid qb play. They couldnt enjoy the come back berlics vs kc, or the signs that our offense was showing real promise.Those same people refused to acknowledge when jc led & helped pay for a camp during the lockout. The team bought in & right away you could see a different attitude with the raiders.
Dhb & jc iced the Monday night opener with a stick throw in the final minutes. Instead of people congratulating them they trashed them for throwing low & catching with his body?!!
Jc & denarious out played the entire nfl the following week, yet some could not muster the gumption to admit the jc was now fully in charge of a highly potent attack. We could all see the defense was awful. Jc founds ways to win with that awful defense that everyone now wants to blame for missing he playoffs.
In our superbowl vs Houston after the death of Davis dhb & jc again made the big play to seal the game.
For me this was raided football at its finest a young gambler coach & Davis cast offs and speed guys were again feared and respected at the top of the division geari g for a play off run.
We havnt had that feeling since the browns game. Why, because we are no longer winning.
Any real fan would congratulate jc on his commitment to excellence, & helping if even for a short while helping restore the raider name and redeem al Davis & the raider way

I agree with you because I really believe the Raiders will make the playoffs this year.
The defense will be much improved because of preparation, discipline and scheme.
The offense, with DMAC, should be very good.
September 1st, 2012 at 4:09 pm
Seagawks released kellen winslow. Is he even relevant anymore?
_______________
What happened to this guy went from lottery pick to scrub. Maybe the silver an black can revive him its worked before and with our current TE situation I would give him a shot can’t be worse then anybody we have.
==========================
His salary is something like 3.5 mil this season or something. no way anyone gets him before wk 2 of the regular season. guess it depends on how our TE play on monday

Doesn’t matter if he was our first pick. He was taken in Round 3. Russell Wilson’s the only third-rounder I’m aware of who’s starting opening day this year.

You know about Wilson because he is a QB and they get a lot of attention. Some 3rd rounders will start at other positions, but you will not know about them tell after they shine or unless you are a fan of that team.

LEfty, Glad to be back talkin Raider ball….looking forward to a couple of East Cost games and a couple games in Oakland.
For the Raiders, I think when I say healthy I am mostly talking about DMAC and Palmer. The offense with those two on the field should be really good.
I don’t think Arizona, Jacksonville, Tennessee and about a half dozen other teams can say that.
I am confident, for the 1st time in a while, that the defense will be competent. Maybe not good or great, but competent. And that should mean half the penalties and half the mental mistakes. That, with a good offense means playoffs.
The team missed last year because of mental errors and a defense that found out that there is a bottom to a bottomless pit.

He was an average QB, who got average production and wins to the Raiders, when average was massively greater than what we had before.
But please Mistic. You trashed Bruce after he won games here. Palmer won more than Jamarcus has already, and you trash Palmer constantly and talked about that former loser of a QB as destined for greatness.

I like our draft, but I’m not sold on the 26 yo rookie OG who can’t start from day one. I hope you are right, but Savage aka Cooper C played well last season, and I think he will be the starter the entire season unless he gets injured.

SnB,quite a few things cost us a spot in the play-offs last year.Injuries,a worse than lousy defense,and a HC/OC that was out-coached all season among other things.If we can keep our key players healthy this year we should be in the hunt all season.I really like what we’ve seen in the practice games from our defense.Heres to hoping it gets better every week like the coaches want.
September 1st, 2012 at 4:23 pm
pretty sure that if you sign a free agent that has guaranteed money for 2012 before the start of the season you assume his salary for said season.
also if you are a 4 yr. vet or more you become a free agent immediately after being cut, no waiver wire for kellen winslow…or bobby carpenter (nudge) (nudge)

Can we get a new post please already. This one smells stale. I want to know if Knapp is goin to speed up his play calling so we can get out of the huddle quicker.
But what I would really like to see more than anything is for Palmer to take over his own play calling and run the 2 minute all the time. You know Denver Bungos are going to, so why cant we? Palmer does real well with the no huddle. Cant knapp get that?
Hope we can defend the no huddle, cause is we lose to denver, I got to see my idiot cowrkers faces the next day. If they wear orange to work, I might have do spill a milk shake accidently on them.

I don’t understand why being 26 is that big of a deal.Players play for 5-6 years if they are lucky.That puts him at just over 30 -still in his prime athletically

Bergs was a Man amongst boys in college literally and I said he should have been able to dominate his way to a first round pick. To me that says something.

We have 2 young guys that might turn into good players.Myers while not great,is serviceable and is a better player today than those guys.All 3 are finished.All 3 were pass catching TEs and their knees are shot-they can’t run any longer so they are useless.I’m all for getting better,but I don’t feel any of those 3 makes us better.

We didn’t have a first round pick so McKenzie took what he thought was the best option.

September 1st, 2012 at 5:02 pm
ok, it went pretty much as i said. we would sign another OT, we would cut cumbie for an LB. and chekwa would be gone soon. keeping nix and having 10 OL is a question. cutting mccan is a question b/c who the fuk is our returner now?
let’s see CB’s are now at 6. bartell, spencer are the starters. lee and dvd the nickel and dimes. francies and the new guy are……special teamers? ok. i guess.
things aren’t done. we may have one too many OL and CB. we have no return man.

But you were NEVER against Jamarcus.
Wonder why??
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Because we picked him #1 overall!! Why the hell would you want that dude to fail??? This organization was criticized like crazy for being a dysfuctional mess which burned my ass. Lots of naysayers thought this was the wrong place for a talent like JR to go and predicted a complete disaster. Al hired Kiffin and the guy put together a damn good staff that I believed would prove the haters wrong. Kiffin liked JR and was developing him the right way. Then Al decided it was time to send the whole thing up in flames! JR was a young and talented player who had the misfortune of landing with a screwed up organization at the height of its dysfunction. His starting WRs were rookies (LM who you said was 4th on the depth chart at Carolina, and DHB). Won’t even comment on the Oline. And the offensive staff?? Buddy Whackitt and Tollner? Are you fcking kidding me?? The dude never had a shot! I’d support him over a losing scab player or 10th-year washout any day of the week!
September 1st, 2012 at 5:03 pm

Winslow is fine in the 5 yard area, but can’t get open down the field. We already have two guys like that, so we don’t need another.

As usual you take the trashy path and try to make it a race issue.
For the record I was against no.2 after I started to find out what was going on with him. Living in Oakland & being a small promoter i started to hear & see no 2 with the wrong people & doing the wrong things. Saw him smoking weed in the parking lot on a Saturday night the next day he played like trash. I knew he wa in trouble but I also knew he was making poor choices.
I’m afraid you either are confusing me with someone else or just trying to make something up

i gotta tell u the winslow situation is interesting. he would seem to be an instant fit. he doesn’t have health issues, he’s 29, and he caught 70+ balls just last year.
but, he’s a dick. always has been. not sure what his rep inside nfl quarters is, but he’s a complainer as far as i can tell. and pete carroll, a guy used to sh!t-talking brothers from the hood, let him go. but winslow isn’t from the hood, is he? a spoiled rich kid whose dad is a headache to deal with.
still, i’d be tempted. talk about a pass catching TE.
September 1st, 2012 at 5:08 pm
So Jamarcus has no culpability in his own failure? How about not being addicted to sizzurp?
How sad is it that a “life consultant” gives up on you?
How sad is it when you come in to camp 300lbs?
How sad is it when the OC gives you a blank dvd on Friday to prove you don’t study and you come in on Monday saying you learned from the concepts highlighted on the (blank) dvd?

Lefty’s not understanding that players go unpicked until the end of the third round because they have question marks. In Bergstrom’s case, it was because he is suited for a position in the NFL (guard) he never played in college, except for one all-star game.

I think he likes him, and you misunderstood what he was said..
September 1st, 2012 at 5:09 pm
What he said.
September 1st, 2012 at 5:09 pm
I think that OT Willie Smith was a good pick-up, at least in terms of depth with some long-term potential.
This is a young back-up whose athleticism fits the ZBS scheme, he played in it last year and he has some NFL game-experience already.
– Here’s a pre-draft scouting report:
Smith’s an athletic offensive tackle prospect who could become a solid backup with improvement to his technique and some added weight.
Has made strides as a pass blocker in terms of getting set and not over committing toward the corner, and shows flashes of a guy who could become a very effective zone blocker in time.
However, he’s never going to be a true road-grader who gets movement and will likely also struggle against top caliber power pass rushers. Displays good instincts in pass protection but is still developing his recognition skills in the running game.
Smith’s a late-round prospect with some upside.
Strengths:
Smith has enough height and above-average athleticism. Can mirror defenders in pass protection after getting his hands on them. Displays good awareness protecting the quarterback.
Can wall-off guys in the running game. Has the mobility to project as a zone blocker down the line. Hard-worker who has put on considerable weight in college.
Weaknesses:
Lacks bulk and strength. Susceptible to the bull rush. Legs go dead on contact at times.
While he possesses the athleticism for zone blocking, currently lacks footwork and awareness out in space. Has a tendency to lean and lunge at defenders.
Needs to do a better job of finishing.
September 1st, 2012 at 5:09 pm
It sounds like Slaton will be going to Redskins more than likely, they were tryin to trade for him before he got released
September 1st, 2012 at 5:09 pm
PLEASE not Jamarcus again. Didn’t we just have three hours of Jason Campbell?
September 1st, 2012 at 5:09 pm

Debo has this weird blind spot for JaMarcus. He can’t see that #2 was his own worst enemy. The fact that he expressed a desire to return to the NFL in that SI article and STILL got no interest should tell people everything they need to know about him.
September 1st, 2012 at 5:12 pm

This is a tired narrative that distracts from the dumbsht FOOTBALL moves that were made by this organization during JR’s tenure. And of all this sht, I have serious doubts about any of it actually taking place. Look, the guy has to take his share of the blame, and he has if you read the article by John Wertheim. But the guy was doomed here. You can’t run things like we did for those years and expect success. You saw Sam Bradford and Blaine Gabbert suffering from it last year. Both the Rams and Jags are righting the ship now and those guys will benefit. We should have done the same thing here.

Steve Slaton is small at 5′9 but weighs 209, he’s got a solid built, he’s also rushed for 1200 yards in this Legaue and in this system so he’s carried the load before.
The Raiders are in the best situation to sign a RB, we have 7 million in cap space and can offer the 2nd string job to any RB currently available, McFadden’s history suggests his back-up will see significant action and may end up starting a few games giving him plenty of chance to impress and land a nice contract in 2013.
If they want a RB, they can probably offer as much money as anyone else, but more importantly, the best shot at decent playing time out there, they just need to make it happen.

It’d be the opposite. They’d play Vick Rules on Pryor, containing him in the pocket and daring them to beat him with his arm. And I’m not sure he has the accuracy or ability to read defenses yet.

Okay, one, Gabbert sucks.

Why should Pryor have to match palmers out put in 2010?
Palmer was not a rookie in 2010, & although these are solid numbers they finished 4-10. He was a cancer in the lockeroom & tried to get the coach fired in the following off season then quit.

Okay, one, Gabbert sucks.
Two, Bradford is injury prone, which is *slightly* different from being a fata$$ drug addict loser with no discipline or sense of responsibility.
Those two guys would have killed for Russell’s physical ability.
I can’t even believe I am getting coaxed in to this argument.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Both have great physical talent. Bradford’s struggles weren’t just due to an ankle sprain. He had inferiour talent around him and upheaval in the offensive coaching staff just like JR did. We will see with Gabbert, but the organization did a great job of signing Laurent Robinson and drafting Justin Blackmon. Watched him closely last year. Lots of drops by receivers with the biggest offender being Marcedes Lewis. The guy irked me by not throwing at the combine when the Heisman trophy winning, national champion did throw. But no one can question his mesuarables and I think he’s going to bounce back. The key is that both organizations understand their situations and are showing patience. Patience is something Al just didn’t have in his later years. Guess I can’t blame him too much since he was so ill.
September 1st, 2012 at 5:36 pm
Palmer is the Raiders starting QB if you like it or not, so get on board or walk the damn plank. No matter how many time you fools post the same thing over and fkin over again, it is not going to change it, OK?

Slaton? Don’t we already have fast guys with fumbling issues backing up McFadden?.
————————————————
Can’t have too many of those now can you?…
But seriously, it’s not like we have a ton of options…Slaton knows the system well and would be ready to play on Monday if needed, he can also return kicks.
I also mentioned Tauren Poole earlier this morning as a potential pick up, he’s an undrafted free agent cut from Carolina with some upside.

Raiders should had an open QB competition like Seattle.
Look at Russel Wilson. Every body thought Flynn was the guy.
TP was not given a legitimate chance to compete. 10 plays against the 3 stringers in practice? Ha
CP has not earned anything.
September 1st, 2012 at 5:38 pm
From what I saw Palmer was running for his life in the preseason.
I hope Wiz coming back helps the O line.
September 1st, 2012 at 5:38 pm
Twinkle-I hope you are correct,but he was being handled solely by their LT-no G or TE help.It was practice so we’ll see how he is when the real bullets start to fly.

For a guy that knew fifteen plays when he got thrown in there last year CP looked damn good to me.I don’t believe
suck is a word I would use too describe his play and
please don’t use the preseason as a yardstick either.If by week three we are 0-2 then I’ll admit the CP haters in here may be onto something but not until then.

Last time I remember Palmer playing in a real game he threw for a ton of yards and the only int was because a wr fell down.
Add McFadden to the mix and we should be okay….as long as knapp doesn’t fk it up.
……..,
Knapp hadn’t been the problem palmers ints have. Pryor posted good numbers running knapps offense.
Palmer can play a good game or two but can he be consistent. He struggled last year and barley managed one game without a turn over.
He will need to prove that he can be consistent & mistake free if he wants big mck to keep him around beyond this year

Palmer is not a “PROVEN” guy especially switching over to a WCO. Palmer is not a WCO style QB and that was surely showing in the preseason. His crap play was not a “preseason” thing.

OH MY GOD! Stop with the CP hating for poops sake. you guys won’t be happy till we have the no.1 pick again and we draft another qb so you can call him the next whatever. just stop. let’s see how he does in 2012

Lol bra really?
You can hitch your wagon to pro ratted projections & whimsical conjecture if you like, I will go by what has ACTUALLY HAPPENED ON THE FIELD.
Palmer in 12 starts had thrown 20 picks as a raider.

True Palmer wa just handed the keys last year based on 2006 I guess. He definitely didn’t do anything this preseason and was badly out played by Pryor.
He is entitled evidence can be seen in him trying to fire Marvin Lewis then quoting in a pouring hissy fit. His shouting match with hujack going into the tunnel after his miserable play cost us a field goal at end of half. His shouting match with knapp after stinking out loud in the preseason game.

Palmer does have to try and limit his turnovers, that goes without saying.
Palmer’s job this season is to keep the defense honest so McFadden can do his thing, and when we need a 4th quarter comeback, that will be the time to air it out.
Palmer can occasionally put the team on his back and win a game. But we don’t need him to try and do that every week.

No, and Rob is completely right. Any DC would play a 46 take everyone on the line of scrimmage and make Pryor try to beat you with a deep pass. That ain’t gonna happen and Pryor would get very frustrated and then beaten up. Sorry, but that’s what would happen right now. Until Pryor can prove he can stand in the pocket and throw it 40 yards down field with extreme accuracy he has no business being a starting Q in the NFL.

I am not saying Palmer should be a game manager, but we shouldn’t be chucking the rock around like we did last year with hue….as lOng as McFadden is healthy of course.
__________________________
I totally agree. Our running game should open up the defense for some opportunities to pass the ball down the field. That first game (if I recall correctly) against the Chargers last year, where Palmer was calling audibles and shifts, was a good example of a balanced offense with more running plays. Palmer looked great that game.

Any DC would play a 46 take everyone on the line of scrimmage and make Pryor try to beat you with a deep pass.

He should have been able to dominate to the level of a first round pick but obviously he didn’t and imo thare is something to be said about that.

Mistic1 Tha Supavillain Says: True Palmer wa just handed the keys last year based on 2006 I guess. He definitely didn’t do anything this preseason and was badly out played by Pryor.///////////Is this an old/young thing? A black/white thing? You can’t be watching these games(pre-season this year, 11-12 games last year) and be intelligent enough to tie your shoes and get on the internet and come to these conclusions.
…………..
Actually it’s a common sense thing
Palmer 33/56 321 yards 58.9 cmp% 5.7 ypa longest play 41 yards o tds 4 int 48.3 qb rate ( awful)
Pryor 19/32 251 yards 59.4 cmp% 7.8 ypa longest play 76 yards ( also a 46 yard td) 2 tds 1 int and an eye popping 92.1 qbr
He also ran 14 times for 121 yards 8.6 ypc a long of 59 & a td
He made plays lienert & Palmer could never dream of.
Pryor threw for more yards per attempt completed a higher percentage than Palmer threw the ball deeper threw for more tds & fewer ints.
He outplayed Palmer unless you just refuse to accept what the numbers & game film show
September 1st, 2012 at 6:44 pm
No, and Rob is completely right. Any DC would play a 46 take everyone on the line of scrimmage and make Pryor try to beat you with a deep pass. That ain’t gonna happen and Pryor would get very frustrated and then beaten up. Sorry, but that’s what would happen right now. Until Pryor can prove he can stand in the pocket and throw it 40 yards down field with extreme accuracy he has no business being a starting Q in the NFL.

If all the knowledge available in the world was equal to a percentage of 100% what percent would you say you know? 10%? 5%? .0023%?
Is it possible that God exists outside the realm of the knowledge that you know?

If you say “yes” then you need to find Him for yourself and no others.

Why is there not a post announcing these moves?
“Joining the team, as announced by the Raiders moments ago, are defensive back Phillip Adams, linebacker Keenan Clayton, and tackle Willie Smith.
In turn, the Raiders released cornerback Chimdi Chekwa, a fourth-round pick in 2011 who appeared in four games with one start. Also waived was cornerback Bryan McCann. The Raiders likewise waived/injured defensive tackle Jamie Crumbie.”
September 1st, 2012 at 6:52 pm
If we’re looking for RB’s we should not lose them to other teams with a less favorable set up for playing time…
The Raiders are in the best situation to sign a RB right now, we have 7 million in cap space and can offer the 2nd string job to any RB currently available, McFadden’s history suggests his back-up will see significant action and may end up starting a few games giving him plenty of chance to impress and land a nice contract in 2013.
If they want a RB, they can probably offer as much money as anyone else, but more importantly, the best shot at decent playing time out there, they just need to make it happen.

You gotta have a pocket. PRYOR did not have one on Thursday against the sea.
Question is hhe perform how would he perform with our 1’s?
Moreover, how would he perform from the Gun with our 1’s???
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You are the field general and you have to dance with
the one you brung.If there is no pocket then you have to create one.Palmer does because if you do to him what Seattle did to Pryor you may get seven hung on your A$$ real quick.
………
1. Thec is right he played well given the oline he was behind. I would say his question will be answered if we are out of the race at the end of the season Pryor will see the field with the starters
2. We saw what Palmer does under pressure in the green bay game. He panicked pissed his pants threw lousy picks & had us on the losing end of a blow out before we could even get out of the first quarter
You have to belive Pryor wouldn’t be as bad Palmer was in that game was it 4 picks in that one? Yuck

What the hell? Pryor was playing with the 3rd string O line. Seattle still had a few 1st and 2nd stingers in competing for a spot.

Problem with ya theroy is NONE of those guys played with 2nd and 3rd stringers.
Secondly, i would bet ALL 3 of those QB;s you mentioned got a TON of reps.
Put Palmer behind that same line with his less than stellar ability to move, you are looking at many times more sacks.
September 1st, 2012 at 7:12 pm
Jesus, all the crying and complaining and negativity on here.
Rodgers, Bree’s, Brady, Manning all have had time and rhythm with their O-Line and offensive weapons.
New system for him too. We still haven’t seen Carson play 1regular season game with DMAC, Moore, Ford, DHB, and Reese.
I see the glass is half full plus a better Defense.

_______________________ _________________
PRYOR has been getting blized ALL preseason.
we have seen what happens when the line does not block.
So to put the blitzing on the QB is totally asinine, when he has ZERO protection up front.
September 1st, 2012 at 7:16 pm
Knapp and DA did not want QB controversy. That’s why for the Seattle game they put in 6 run plays in a row for Palmer. Palmer had a crap preseason while TP plays with the scrubs showing flashes of greatness. They were setting TP up to fail. TP should of had some reps with the first team especially with DMAC. If Raiders had a coach say like Pete Carol you would have seen a legitimate QB competition.

I’m aware of who was out there not blocking for Pryor.
My point is…..when Elway or Tark was out there in preseason their rookie season…they made a play…
They made defenses respect em blocking or no blocking.
If your feet are moving before the snap you cant set and throw or quick snap or do anything other than run.
Leinart got outside immediately and got rid of it.
Taking sacks will get you killed and they had their ears pinned back….they showed good form in not leaving too soon either.Impressive D…They knew they were better and showed it.Pryor is no quitter….he’ll get it.

Fosters is the only other one I know of but Carlton won’t

The whole word is pissed with Germany.As a part of joining the EU they stipulated that all imported beer
had to pass the reinheitsgebot.Consequently there are
no imported beers in Germany.The German pils we buy in bottles is the pils you are poured in a bar in Dresden
or where ever.

Becks and St Pauli Girl are about it for most people
but with any Pils you must pour it from a foot above the glass which is sitting not held.Wait for the head to disappear and repeat til you have a full glass.Otherwise you get skunk.Takes about fifteen minutes to get a beer
poured there.Became a Schnapps addict because of this reason.The frozen Weizenkorn from central Germany is to die for.Wheat Schnapps.

You can hook a big brown in any stream there but you ain’t even gonna turn it.If you can manage to do that without burning up the bearings in your reel then the thing simply swims right at you full speed and wraps you round a tree root.You can then watch him straighten the hook out and meander back upstream to the rapid you just hooked him out of to finish getting his lunch.You can repeat all day if you have enough line with you.Same fish…same result.Lake Taupo is over 1300 feet deep so
you have a shot.The rangers will tell you though that you may tag a big one.They say 90 lbs is possible but that fish is not even aware that it has been hooked
and will just mosey on about his business towing
your rod if you aren’t quick to cut the line.
Can’t see the fun in that at all especially since it’s always pissing down with rain…but each to his own.

Raiders for life Says: I don’t fly fish. I use Panther Martins, Castmaster’s and rooster tails. Pinch the barbs for easier catch and release. Stream fishing for high sierra trout. Getting to old to boulder hop through the middle of the river. Can’t quite make the long jumps anymore./////////Don’t get me wrong. I’ve used worms, eggs, power bait, grasshoppers, crickets, and if I forgot something I used that, too. And once I started fly fishing I realized it was just a more efficient way to kill fish. Although it is kinda fun. To the point where the old dictum comes into play..”A bad day fishing beats a good day working”

Raider fans are loyal. Not limited to Oakland. They’re all over the Bay and Valley. Thousands of Raider fans have renewed their season tickets year after year through thick and thin, almost all thin the last 10 years. Loyal bunch.
I don’t care for the A’s but they’re problem is mostly stadium related. Giants also drew small crowds before the new park was built. But…let them go to San Josey for all I care.

Yeah TSR I’m not into baseball either.Grew up playing cricket and rugby.Now if you like watching paint dry then cricket is for you.I was living in San Diego in the early 90’s and went to every Raider home game.25 bills sit where ever the fk you want.North end zone not
advisable.Parked in the USC parking garage and the guy who sold me the ticket also ensured my car was still there after the game for 10 bills more.Couldn’t beat it with a stick.35,000 in that stadium looked like it was empty.
September 1st, 2012 at 11:38 pm

Sounds like a real “experience” seeing a Raider game at the Memorial Coliseum. Not that Oakland isn’t an experience in its own right, just a different type of experience.
September 1st, 2012 at 11:49 pm
I am not afraid of the Chargers. I just want this team to be close to full strength come Sept. 10!

PM it is easy to know a lot a about the place you were born and raised in.That is funny as hell…to go halfway
round the world to end up with a husband that doesn’t come from there.Life ….it’s a trip.
Directly opposite the coliseum is a gate to USC.Just inside on the left are (or were) three four story parking
garages.I drove up to the third floor of the first one and out of the darkness came a dude with tickets and
reasons for paying him 10 bucks to watch over my car.
I thought I had just purchased 35 bucks worth of nothing.
I was pleasantly surprised and dealt with the guy for years.

Went to a bunch of the Raider games in LA. Had season tickets first two years. Parked where that black guy said was his parking lot for ten dollars and it would be cool. I’m Pasadena and no fool but we were that day. Sometimes you could get there early enough to park in the public parking lots, but we rarely did. Wound up parking on Budlong street 6 bocks away and looking at granny sitting on her porch. She said you parking here in front of my house? We said yes if you please our last place we got broken into. Bless her old black soul, she said ain’t nothing happening to your car in front of my house. We offered her everything we had but she”d have none of it. We brought her iced tea and such for several weeks while parking there problem free, until we figured out that calling the museum of natural history on Monday morning before a game would get you a number to park right there. That is like across the street , no, closer, to the coloseum. Nobody knows LA Raider experience better than me..
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:15 am
Funny that you mention USC. Lance has some Al Davis in him and that is why he was picked to coach the team. Lance does not care to be liked, he wants to be feared.

September 2nd, 2012 at 12:17 am
It is a weird stadium.I sat at the fifty usually (bring a cushion or you’ll get tired of preparation H
applications).There is a small picket fence,a red
running track 8 lanes wide,a long jump and discuss
area then all the sideline folks and then what seems like half a mile away…the field.Place is cavernous.
A game against Pittsburg featured this poor moron wearing
his yellow and taunting the dudes in the north end zone.
They damn near killed him.The only other stadium I wear my colors at is Candlestick.I dont do it in denver or kansas or anywhere because I dont like it when idiots wear theirs here.(cept for families etc.)

See post #903.It was about a hundred yards from I guess the east gate.Only ever went that way but I assume there is more than one entrance.I saw Earl Campbell’s last game there.Played for Atlanta…Marcus fumbled in the end zone trying to score the game winner and they just handed off to Earl the rest of the way.He got exactly 3 and half yards a carry.The man was awesome.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:33 am
Had no problems by and large at LA. In particular remember my brother giving a jets fan grief(yes,that year)in a packed stadium.90,000+. Brother is a Ram fan but also 6′2 250 lbs. Toward the end hispanic gang bangers started making it a less than pleasant experience. My ex-wife almost got me killed several times. Grew up in Baldwin Park and wasn’t gonna take sh1t from nobody. But, honey he’s got four friends and a gun. STFup already. Still alive.

I sleep on the couch.Actually sh!tcanned the couch and put a bed in it’s place.Doesn’t help coz the bastard

September 2nd, 2012 at 1:59 am
Yeah I couldn’t make to the big games I’m not big on crowds.I could never understand how such a crowd (35,000)
could get lost in that stadium.It’s huge.I have a lot of respect for our brothers from LA.One tough A$$ city.
Folks from the bay area put em down but only ones that have never been there (on the streets I mean).Lived in San Diego a few years and never went to but one game
at the Murph.MNF game against us.
September 2nd, 2012 at 2:13 am
roster seems close to being set. could see them going for winslow or cooley but i’d say that’s 50/50. i really don’t think they’re going after a RB.
the big need is a kick/punt returner. who the heck is gonna do it w/ moore and ford out? taiwan can. they worked out criner there but he’s maybe a bit slow. franzies fumbled his one shot. i always wanted to see tyvon do it.
September 2nd, 2012 at 2:24 am
Bet Tyvon doesn’t want to see Tyvon do it.Francies did
fumble but I doubt that will hinder his opportunity to return em.Course doing that in the season will get him cut if he hasn’t been already.Blew me away that a
specialist returner muffed the two he was bought in to
do.I believe we are way too hard on Hoffman in here.
The dude doesn’t even know now who his squad will be.
September 2nd, 2012 at 2:24 am
i also wouldn’t be surprised if they trade barksdale. the new guy fits the zbs better and has some starting experience. barksdale could get a 5th rounder or so and he would have value to teams light on depth and needing a more straight-ahead power blocker.

it was weird. parrish has a of of experience. got the ball knocked out. then he does the really stupid dive for it when he can’t get his helmet on. i mean call time out. or let it bounce. he was trying to hard. kinda think DA overreacted a bit. he was clearly pissed about it. then franzies fumbles. the two guys they bring in. luckily franzies had a good game elsewhere. but then they had mccann back there the rest of the night. he had a nice return too. they keep him. looks like he’s the guy. then they cut him. the new guy returned a few punts last year but this is kinda ridiculous.
i honestly woulda kept parrish around. i mean he has a history of being pretty good. kind of a message cut if u ask me. DA said “we put the ball on the ground and that’s not the kind of team we’re gonna be”. i think he was frustrated by it.

not want DA’s job for love nor money.ST’s hasn’t even had
but a play or two with their Punter.They have no idea how far this dude kicks the damn thing.He comes in and puts a lollipop inside the 10 and nobody even has to touch it.Unless you have been here a year or two Lechler

I would like them to pick up a considerable portion of our team but last time I checked nobody of any consequence seemed to give a rats A$$ about whatever it was that I’d like.Thursday was hard to watch.
Every one who screamed for the head of Mr Rich Seymour please stand up and be counted.It appears to me that we are pretty short on football players that are ready to go
We are well stocked with guys with pulled hammies etc.
We bring in a vet return guy who proceeds to both kicks on the ground.Thankfully our new coach and GM put an end to that.We have half a dozen vets and a bunch of kids.Our vets are on ST’s and Seymour and Palmer.Anyone feeling confident yet?
September 2nd, 2012 at 6:45 am
You bet your arsee I’m feeling confident!
September 2nd, 2012 at 6:47 am
I feel like this years team is EASILY better coming out of preseason than last years team.
We were outscored something like 100-45 last preseason. Lost every game. The 3rd game that is so “important” for preseason, we got doubled up 41-20.
Slo-Mania is set to kick off full throttle in about a week.
September 2nd, 2012 at 6:49 am
ABP or MR or whatever.Mr Goodson is a RAIDER.He is not garbage.He got stuck by Mr Wheeler(not many folk are
able to do a lot after this occurs to them)He lost feeling on one side of his body.He was unable to grip the rock with any strength.He knew his livelihood was on the line and went out there hurt.He is a fine football player that has given it up for our team.
Wheeler is a godsend….hard as hell on our own players in practice.Woody would not allow Tatum to practice with the team either…got tired of the hospital visits.We don’t have any depth…quit bagging on the few vets we have.
September 2nd, 2012 at 6:49 am
And last year, we weren’t learning a new offense AND defense.
Besides, the last team we had a bye so early in the season, was 2002 and we dominated things up until…..well we will leave that out of it.

I saw Beckett’s first outing. He gave up 3 runs, but I thought he looked really good.
September 2nd, 2012 at 6:57 am
Next season, you guys will iron things out and probably win 100 games. Figure out where to play HanRam, get Beckett’s head on straight, get Crawford at the top of the lineup, etc.
This isn’t hoops, you can’t throw a bunch of guys together with 40 games to go and think they are going to ball out.

Expect to see us rotate some vets out there (Seymour, Kelly, Tollefson even) to completely humiliate the kid.
September 2nd, 2012 at 7:05 am
Talking bout Goodson..I like the guy fine as a person. I worried like everyone else when he was in the hospital with that “percussion” (still don’t why he had to share his hospital room with a guy playing drums), but it’s not an issue of that; it’s an issue of just being scared as heck the guy is gonna fumble in key situations…fumbling has been his been an issue. There’s no getting around that.
I like how he runs though.
September 2nd, 2012 at 7:05 am
I like the Chargers quote on their rookie, undrafted LT.
He is a “talented kid with a bunch of ability”.
Yeah, so that’s why you didn’t draft him or anybody else either?

JFB you are once again correct(at the risk of being labeled a brown noser).I am only hoping you are on the money.If he is getting carries it means that DMac can’t suit up.Not a pleasant prospect for any of us.
DJ Drums? Hell I missed all of that.Do tell if you have the energy.

might want to reflect on the stats without Lechlers field position.The pair of em were thieves.

RAIDERS…..the owner would not allow it god bless his heart.He was \is the RAIDERS.I’ve seen great teams and I’ve seen the ones that suck.The only constant was our owner…..now I fear for the team coz he’s not here to guide it.You kids out there have no idea what it was like to be feared.I mean really feared.I laugh at the idiots in here that believe that today’s athlete’s are far superior to the men that played the game in the past.

===========
I’d rather have Koppen than Parsons, personally.
Parsons did not look good, getting driven into the backfield repeatedly against 2nd and 3rd team defenses.
Koppen played well enough last season to give him a shot. He’s a smart veteran with plenty of zone blocking experience. He can also play guard. Especially if Wisniewski is going to be less than 100%, the Raiders need a solid backup at the interior OL positions.
I realize Nix made the team too, but he’s never played center and honestly didn’t look a whole lot better than Parsons.

I feel the same way about Blount as I do about Cartwright. Only sign them if you’re going to keep four running backs.
But I think the Raiders should carry four RBs this season anyway. Blount would be a good addition for a 7th round pick.

Ahhh yes, forgot about Bergstrom. He’s actually looked pretty good. But I don’t think he can play center.
Honestly don’t feel comfortable with Carlisle starting all season. Carlisle is smart and may be the most disciplined lineman the Raiders have, but was the worst pass blocker and run blocker the Raiders had last season. And I don’t expect him to get much better even though it’s a ZBS.

Barksdale looked decent at LT (awful, awful, AWFUL at RT, though), and Bergstrom looked good at LG.
Outside of those guys, the backups in the o-line are a bit of a disaster.
Haven’t seen Willie Smith play, but at least he has some starting experience against real competition.

not really a shot at goodson. i’m cool with keeping 4 RB. I guess you’re right though. we could sign cartwright for ST purposes and if the worst happened, jones and dmac being injured we could have cartwright AND goodson to fill in. would save us from having to sign a FA because i just don’t like the idea of goodson carrying the load in a game

I’ll know more about that when they play Monday…. Just hoping for the best at this point ..
September 2nd, 2012 at 8:58 am
Not much going on so I decided to do some “research” on DB Phillip Adams.
Seems like an interesting pick-up, he saw some significant action in NE last year playing in 5 games as Nickel Back and posted some decent ratings as you’ll see below and then had a very good training camp-pre-season down in Seattle but it wasn’t enough to beat out veteran Marcus Trufant for the last CB spot.
Both NE and Seattle writters consideres Adams release as somewhat surprising.
Here it is:
First, some stuff from his draft year, not much info availabe.
Overview.
Has been selected First-Team All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for the 2009 college football season as voted on by the MEAC head football coaches and sports information directors. Adams was fifth on the squad in total tackles with 48 and tied for the lead in interceptions with three, two of which he returned for scores.
Philip Adams drew attention from Kevin Simon of Dallas and other scouts at the East Coast Bowl since receivers found him hard to beat at the line of scrimmage when in press, even past the 5-yard mark.
He plays with an agressive attitude and good playing speed which correlates to his first-team All-MEAC performance five tackles for loss, three interceptions, 11 pass breakups.
Strengths.
He’s very physically imposing and he
transitions out of his backpedal smoothly. At times he’s dominated at the line in press coverage and shows some ability to close when playing off his man.
Weaknesses.
Though very strong in press he can get a bit loss when playing off and would need to learn the fine points of playing zone.
* After the season, he was invited to play in a pair of postseason all-star games, the HBCU Senior Bowl and the Texas vs. The Nation game.
There, he impressed NFL scouts with his ability to play press coverage, one of the biggest demands when any college player moves up a level.
As a Pro:
- SF: Adams appeared on only 76 defensive snaps as a reserve corner for San Francisco last season, according to snaps logged by Pro Football Focus.
- NE: Today, the New England Patriots have announced that they have released cornerback Phillip Adams.
Adams spent several stints on the Patriots roster this season after being released, but seemed to have solidified his role on the team in recent weeks.
Therefore, Adams’ release comes as a surprise.
He played a season high 51 snaps against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and while he didn’t play particularly well, he had been performing at a relatively decent level in weeks prior.
As the team’s primary slot corner (over the past five weeks), Adams had been targeted 23 times, while allowing just 12 completions on the year (according to ProFootballFocus.com).
He also intercepted a pass against the Chiefs last Monday night. In total, opposing quarterbacks had only a 53.9 quarterback rating throwing into Adams’ coverage area.
Overall, Adams has played 180 total defensive snaps while appearing at corner in the last five games (he also played on special teams).
So for a team that already has a depleted secondary, yeah, this move was surprising. Hopefully, this could be a surprising sign for the health of cornerback Devin McCourty, although I wouldn’t read too much into that.
For those wondering if Adams could return to the Patriots at some point, while I wouldn’t completely rule it out, this vague and somewhat dreary tweet from Adams would suggest that both sides are moving on from the situation:
“In this imperfect world a person is expected to be perfect I understand that..lesson learned time to move on from another situation.”
- Seattle (2012 training cam and pre-season), these are random reports out of camp:
Cornerback Phillip Adams continued his impressive week of practice by taking the ball from the hands of Braylon Edwards in the end zone for another interception (Adams had two on Tuesday).
CB analysys: Brandon Browner and Richard Sherman are holding it down, but there has been a bit of buzz lately about both Coye Francies and Phillip Adams.
Both players have looked very good in camp and both are the physical, athletic prototype that this team looks for at the corner position.
Phillip Adams – Adams had a solid performance on Saturday, both in coverage and against the run. He’s an active tackler who flies to the football, and he possesses the short-area quickness to be effective covering the slot.
He’s not as dynamic in press coverage on the outside, and when he is outside, appears better suited to play off-man rather than up on the line, as he lacks the pop to routinely redirect his man off the line.
He gets turned around in man coverage, committing and flipping his hips up field too early on routes up the sideline, leaving him susceptible to option routes inside (digs), hitches or comebacks to the outside.
The hustle, solid tackling and quickness could keep him in competition for a rotational nickel or dime ‘back spot, but he needs to show up on Special Teams as well.
Coye Francies – Francies flashes moderately well in press/bump, and exhibits an ability to mirror and keep with his man stride-for-stride down the sideline.
He possesses quick hips to flip up-field, or mirror receiver breaks from a backpedal without giving up too much cushion. He appears to be a technically-sound, fluid cover guy, and at this point I have him in direct competition with Jeremy Lane and Byron Maxwell, with a legit shot at making the final 53.
Might the most polished cover guy outside of Sherman, Browner or Trufant on the roster, but we need more than one game, and a step-up in competition to confirm that assessment.
He doesn’t fly to the football like Lane or Adams (or at least, he didn’t on Saturday night), and is a bit too blockable down field, but cover guys are hard to come by, so he may have a leg up.
After Adams release:
On defense, Marcus Trufant beat out Phillip Adams for the last defensive back spot and will now fight for snaps as a nickelback.
The surprise cut here was Phillip Adams, who had played well in the preseason, but Marcus Trufant got the veteranosity and versatility nod over him for a spot.

any thoughts on the raiders drafting a rd. 1 qb in next years draft to learn from palmer before he goes?
==========================
All depends on where the Raiders are drafting.
If there are where I think they’ll be (between picks 12 and 17), there might not be any top-tier guys left on the board.
But if everything goes wrong this season? There are some gems at the top of this QB class.
I’m not a fan of Barkley, but he’s certainly one option. Tyler Wilson is interesting, but I’m always wart of Bobby Petrino-coached QBs. Geno Smith looks poised for a VERY big season, as does Logan Thomas. Murray from Georgia is a bit undersized, but talented enough to be in the 1st round conversation.
Should be interesting. If the Raiders think a guy could be the future of the franchise, they’d be crazy to pass on him – regardless of whether Palmer and Pryor are on the roster.

Pretty accurate, but not great arm strength, and I think he will suffer from the Matt Leinart syndrome, where he is playing with guys right now who are better than the guy they are lined up against, 8 out of 10 times.
September 2nd, 2012 at 9:02 am
I figured Chekwa would get cut and not DVD. My thinking was this: Between the two, who would we regret cutting by this time next year? DVD because he has more potential than Chekwa. He’s taller and faster than Chekwa so that was an easy one.

I like Chase Thomas a lot. Great pass rusher who is also very polished in his coverage drops. Excels at shedding blocks. And versatile enough to play DE, OLB, or ILB. Tarver was also his coach at Stanford.
If the Raiders are picking between 12 and 17, I have a hard time seeing any way the Raiders don’t take this guy.

=============
Precisely. I also have never seen Barkley need to move his feet. A lot of USC guys have that problem – they’ve never really been challenged.
Arm strength is definitely an issue, particularly from a velocity standpoint. I don’t see him fitting passes into tight windows. Most of his completions are the result of his incredibly talented receivers beating their coverage.
September 2nd, 2012 at 9:15 am
You don’t draft a QB in the 1st round so he can sit, wait, and learn for a few years unless you are an elite team that can afford such a luxury. Btw, in today’s NFL, 1st round QBs are expected to play & produce. Guys like Locker are the exception and not the norm.
We were 8-8 the last 2 seasons, we need to improve the team to win the division and compete in the POs. we can’t afford to waste a pick on a QB that will not play especially when you have a guy like TP on the roster. You want a guy to develop? Develop TP!

If there’s one thing this defense needs it’s better tacklers with more hustle. I think it’s more likely to see Matt Flynn as a Raider than a new rookie QB next year. I mean, since we are getting all these other Seahawks it just makes sense. Ha Ha.

This team was a few plays away from the playoffs last season while losing it’s best player for the last 10 games, switching QB’s in the middle of the season and shuffling WR’s in and out of the lineup on a weekly basis.
With an improved Defense, there’s no reason not to expect a playoff team this year.

If it’s a top 5 pick, I’m sure Knapp would be gone and maybe some of the position coaches. But the core staff will stay the same. Coaching consistency is key to building a franchise.
Like it or not, this is a transition period for the Raiders. Right now? They’re not talented enough that a top 5 pick is absolutely out of the question. It could easily happen with a few injuries to key starters. And some injuries are inevitable – the Raiders can only hope that their best players stay healthy.

Ohioraider.
I guarantee you that Reggie, Mark, and Dennis have privately concluded that–because of the hand they’ve been dealt–they’re implementing a 3-4 year plan to become a Super Bowl contending team.
—————————————————-
The hand they’ve been dealt?.
This team was a few plays away from the playoffs last season while losing it’s best player for the last 10 games, switching QB’s in the middle of the season and shuffling WR’s in and out of the lineup on a weekly basis.
With an improved Defense, there’s no reason not to expect a playoff team this year.
————————————
Hope so, but I don’t see it. If Palmer is flawless, maybe compete for a wild card. Defense is still a huge question mark and, frankly, the dbs are vulnerable.

If the A’s can win the division, very much in play, I think they could go to the World Series.
Coming from the WC will be tough though. You got to play that first game, than travel on the road immediately and probably play the Yankee’s. Can’t get your rotation setup ideally.
This new WC rules helps another team get in, but makes it harder on the WC teams, IMO.

Did Cumbie actually get injured against the Seagulls ?
Or is he hurt like King ? Is the official story on King that he hurt his toe on the team plane ? LOL.

Let’s stick to the facts gents, we won 8 games and could have won 10 or 6, fair?.
With Palmer back into football shape, a full-off-season of work and an improved Defense, we should be thinking playoffs, we can also agree there, right?.
September 2nd, 2012 at 9:33 am
Like it or not, this is a transition period for the Raiders. Right now? They’re not talented enough that a top 5 pick is absolutely out of the question. It could easily happen with a few injuries to key starters. And some injuries are inevitable – the Raiders can only hope that their best players stay healthy.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I disagree.
Last 2 seasons we were 8-8 with below avg coaching staff and the same level of talent. Last season we lost our best DE, QB, and the best player on the team, and we were still competing to win the division in the last game of the season. We had one of the worst defenses in the league, and we led the league in penalties and yards.
Those are facts not opinions.

Probably was the best player in the MEAC his last year. Whiners took him in the 7th round (Brien is gonna love that) and the coaches there really liked him. Suffered a bad broken ankle and the Patriots took a look at him. Seems like a lot of personnel guys want to take a look at this guy. He has skills. He has decent size and knows how to use it.

New coaching staff enforcing discipline for the first time in ages. New scheme – and for many of these young Raiders, their very first real NFL scheme. Even less depth than last season because of the salary cap situation.
The way the Raiders remained competitive last season was not in any way shape or form a sustainable situation. That team was not built for long-term success. That’s what the new management is trying to do.
I do think next season the Raiders will be 8-8. But that doesn’t mean this isn’t a transitional season. This season could be 5-11 just as easily as last season could have been. That’s the nature of the NFL.

My point was we’re not re-building here, this isn’t a 3-4 win team, obviously there will be some adjustment to the new coaching schemes but I’m not looking 3 years down the road for this team to make the playoffs, we should be able to, at least make a strong push in 2012.

=======================================
Let’s wait and see if Chekwa gets re-signed to the Practice Squad today (DVD would not have been eligible). If he is, there’s your answer. If not, then Reggie and DA probably concluded that Adams would help us more.

===================
It’s not a rebuild in the traditional sense, but it is absolutely a transition. And that’s the thing about transitional seasons – you never quite know which adjustments are going to take and which ones aren’t. Raider management is still very much in the midst of an intense evaluation process.
Again – if the talent on this team play to their potential and stay mostly healthy, this is an 8-8 team. If they don’t buy in? If they get hurt? If they take a while to adjust? Anything is possible. Especially because the Raiders have a relatively difficult schedule.
September 2nd, 2012 at 9:46 am
If the players buy in, no injuries, new attitude, better disipline, a little luck, the sky is the limit. It is a funny game and the difference between 11-5 and 6-10 is minimal.
September 2nd, 2012 at 9:47 am
You know what’s really funny about Hue’s decision to not ice the Cleveland game to go up by 17 with 4 mins to go ?
This is the same guy that after the season was over said that after seeing the defensive collapse in Buffalo, he wasn’t sure the Raids could make the playoffs.
Hue KNEW that if given a chance, the 2011 defense would collapse and squander anything but the most secure lead.
And yet he still foregoes what amounts to a game clinching extra point.
Cribbs was one step away from tying that game.
And afterwards, Hue STILL wouldn’t admit he made a mistake and said he’d do it again.
Unreal.
September 2nd, 2012 at 9:47 am
If the coaching staff liked Chekwa better than DVD they would not have exposed him to waivers, the fact is they chose DVD over Chimdi because they think he’s better, it has nothing to do with Practice Squad availability.
They were quick to sign Stupar, Carswell, Session and Burnett to the PS, Chekwa is still out there and they don’t seem to be in a hurry to bring him back, I would but I’m not there.
September 2nd, 2012 at 9:48 am
And our defense should get stronger as the year progresses. Our starters have a lot of changes to get used to, but remember what DA did with that abysmal Denver defense from 2 years ago? Tebow is still cashing checks the Denver D wrote for him. Our 3 game home stand in the second half of the season could be where this team separates itself from the teams we have been used to for so long. This team is headed in the right direction.

You can’t sign a player to the Practice Squad until he’s cleared waivers, which takes 24 hours. The four players you mentioned were cut Friday, and so were PS-eligible on Saturday.

As Darren McFadden goes, so goes the Raiders offense. He is the wild card. If he stays healthy, the sky is the limit for us, but if/when he goes down we take a huge step backward.

As Bob said, let’s stick with the facts.
Facts: we were 8-8 with Cable and Hue and chuck. We were 8-8 while leading the league in penalties and yards and having one of the worst defenses in the league. We were 8-8 after losing our starting QB, our elite player, and the best DE on the roster. We were 8-8 with a bad defensive scheme, having issues adjusting after the 1st half, and struggling to score after DMAC was injured.
I expect us to improve with less penalties (discipline), improved scheme and defense, and better coaching.

2011 Average Margin of Victory: 5.75 points
2011 Average Margin of Loss: 15 points
2011 Median Margin of Victory: 5.5 points
2011 Median Margin of Loss: 13 points
What does this mean? When we won, we BARELY won. When we lost, we got our butts kicked. Only two of our losses were by a single score. We suffered several dominant losses, but had NO dominant wins (our biggest margin of victory was 10 points, and was not repeated — all our other victories were by a single score).
In other words, our 8-8 showing last year was due more to luck and happenstance than dominant, overpowering play. Now there’s nothing wrong with luck: I’ll certainly take the wins. But dominant play is WAY better, and that’s what Reggie and DA are trying to build here.

Going off the rails into fantasyland: Let’s say (and I DO NOT THINK this scenario would happen, but just for the sake of argument) CP is a hot mess, and Pryor proves not to be the answer at QB. Reggie knows the value of a franchise QB. I could see him drafting one, OR…Reggie knows Matt Flynn, and knows Seattle is paying WAY more than they’d like for a backup. Maybe they’d be glad to clear Flynn off their cap for, say, a 3rd or 4th-rounder?

Going by what I’ve seen from the Packers, seems like the draft style that Reggie was brought up in was a pretty patient one. Not a whole lot of trading up going on, especially not in the first round.
In a top ten pick scenario, with this QB class I don’t think Reggie would be trading up for Barkley. First, because Barkley really isn’t as good as USC’s offense makes him look. And secondly, because there are a lot of other talented players available.
Of course, if Reggie thinks Barkley (or any player for that matter) is a player the Raiders can’t live without, I suppose anything is possible.

Those are some ugly stats.
But the blame has to go to the Defense, check out this historical facts from the 2011 Defense.
- Since merger, Raiders are 6th team to allow 4000 plus yds passing, 2000 plus yds rushing in season.
- Since merger, teams with 500 plus yds of offense and 1 or fewer turnovers had lost just 14 of 158 games before Raiders did it vs San Diego on week 17.
- Raiders were 21-1 all-time when gaining 500 plus yards in a game until this season, losing to NE with 504 and SD with 520.
- Raiders one of 4 teams EVER to allow 30 plus TD passes and 5 plus yards per run in season [2011 TB, 1950 Colts, 1952 Dallas Texans].
- Franchise worst in passing TDs [31], yds passing [4262], yards per catch[5.1] and third most points 433, an average of 27.1 points per game.
* The fact that we managed to win 8 games with that Defensive “performance” with D-Mac out the final 10 games and while switching QB’s mid-season is actually remarkable.

Spending some time watching cutups of snaps (not highlight reels) from some of the projected 1st round QBs, and doing some other research.
From what I’ve seen so far, Wilson would be my choice over the rest. Geno Smith, however, looks like he has the most upside in that he can do everything. Want to see him play in more important games, though.
Haven’t seen a lot of Logan Thomas – he’ll be a QB I’ll keep close tabs on as the season progresses. Intriguing prospect for sure.

Spending some time watching cutups of snaps (not highlight reels) from some of the projected 1st round QBs, and doing some other research.
From what I’ve seen so far, Wilson would be my choice over the rest. Geno Smith, however, looks like he has the most upside in that he can do everything. Want to see him play in more important games, though.
Haven’t seen a lot of Logan Thomas – he’ll be a QB I’ll keep close tabs on as the season progresses. Intriguing prospect for sure.
==================================================
On a slightly different not, I keep saying the most intriguing Q prospect I have seen out there is Josh Johnson. To me he is like a poor man’s Mike Vick. I can’t imagine why Harbaugh kept Tolzien over Johnson.
September 2nd, 2012 at 11:06 am
Over the last three seasons, Winslow has 218 receptions for 2,377 yards and 12 touchdowns.
That’s alot of production for a guy everyone is saying is done. I like production!

Bob,
New England game just showed to us, that while we were fairly close, we were still very far away.
Couldn’t get stops when we needed them, played completely ridiculous undisciplined football to start, and couldn’t get the big first down or TD when we needed them.
I give our guys credit for fighting on, but it always felt like the Pats were in 4th gear most of the game, and slammed it into 5th only when needed.

Not sure where the talk of Winslow being washed up is emanating from on this blog.
I went to NFL AFC west blog, they stated it had more to do with him not wanting to take a pay cut.
Not sure about his locker room issues however, he would be a great improvement over the 3 brands we currently have, that includes the brand some are clamoring for in cooley, the concussion.

“Harris, an undrafted rookie free agent from UCLA, has started all of the preseason. Starting in the preseason and playing against Oakland’s’ terrific defensive line in the season opener are two different things.”

Mike from Temecula, Calif.: Can the Chargers risk starting rookie Mike (Harris) at LT if Gaither is out for a while as seem to be the case..Or does AJ Smith on the phones as we speak

He had a lot of problems 6-7 years ago but nothing in the past few years. Can’t people mature and grow up?? No way a 29 year old TE is all used up, that’s speculation.

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/seahawks-release-te-kellen-winslow-surprise-move-125426149–nfl.html
One reason for Winslow’s departure was money — he was due $13.3 million over the remaining three years of his contract, and it’s believed that a refusal to take a pay cut in Seattle led to his release. Winslow, who played 16 games in each of three seasons for the Bucs despite several knee injuries, had to be limited in practice and caught just three passes for 34 yards and a touchdown in the preseason.
That doesn’t tell the whole story, however, because Winslow was frequently set as a potentially dynamic target for rookie quarterback Russell Wilson in practice. Set off the line while fellow tight end Zach Miller was often tasked to block alongside the tackle, Winslow looked to be a good fit in Seattle’s offense, which used at least two tight ends 37 percent of the time, per Football Outsiders. That figure ranked 12th in the league.

Good question. The other teams in the division have seemingly improved themselves. And over the last 10 years the Raiders have been really really bad. We missed an opportunity last year to seize our spot at the top of the division. But as an homage to Clint Eastwood, let’s take a look at the Good the Bad and the Ugly in the AFC West:
lst the Good: Some of you just want to rail on Carson Palmer for the picks, but take away the lst game against KC where he was not supposed to play at all, and in his last 8 starts Palmers was 4th in the league in yards/attempt, 5th in passing yards, 7th in completion percentage, 9th in completions, and 12th in TD passes. And that’s coming off A COUCH for crissakes. And that is without Dmac, arguably the best RB in the league.
The Bad: KC is set to improve only because so many players are coming back from injury. But they looked awful in the preseason and last time I looked, Cassell was still their Q.
Denver was the number one rushing team in the league last year. But their 2nd leading rusher was Tim Teblows. Defensively, they did it with smoke and mirrors. And the man behind the curtain was Dennis Allen. Who happens to now work for us.
The Ugly: Look at the LT position for the Dischargers. How they felt Gaither was the answer there is anyone’s guess. They lost their best WR in free agency, their starting RB is gone to injury, and their Oline is a mess. In 2007 they were one game away from the Super Bowl. Since then they have won one playoff game. That ain’t a good trajectory.
September 2nd, 2012 at 12:43 pm
I don’t understand, last year we were easily on our way to 10 wins , even with a disastrous D before Campbell went down, If Carson was with our team and lets see he was coming off the bench for injured QB, we would have won the KC and DEN games… knowing all that and knowing Palmer is better than Campbell, We will have a modern scheme ran by , DA who was a pretty good DC in Denver and Jason Tarver who also was a pretty good in his Stanford stint, and the D will only get better and the O should be better , i just don’t get the expectations by so many experts and even fellow commentators in here

Exactly , the only team i really fear is KC but not much because yes they had injuries and all that so did we but at least they had real D to keep them in games and on the other hand we were handicapped on our D by our DC and our ancient D, so both of us finished 8-8 with injuries , 1 had good to great D, 1 had awful D , and we’re the 1 getting the most improvement this season , our D should be better , our QB is going to be better , our Receivers are going to be better …both have injury prone RB’s but i would take Mcfadden over J Charles , who’s awesome in his own way , so besides KC maybe getting some Key players back , we’re the 1 making the most progress this year

1. We did fine with a Rookie Head coach last year
2. Knapp has never had a QB , who was as talented as Palmer and never had Running back who was as talented as Mcfadden , although he had Mcfadden when he was rookie but at that time he was known as Mcfelldown , now he’s known as MCinjury when injured but Mcbeast when he’s healthy, We had pretty good group of WR’S As well so we shall wait for the season to conclude before making judgements about Knapp
3. We lacked Depth last year as well , but we have made Improvements at WR, QB, DL , CB… We need a backup RB though
4. All of the AFC West teams face the same opponents for 14 of the games save for 2 different opponents

Have some special situation plays for him and even use him as a receiver on occasion.
If Palmer should go down Pryor would have to finish the game but the next week Leinart would start and Pryor would be used in the same manner as before.

I loved those years when the whiners transitioned from a winning team to a lottery team all the garbage teams they used to dominate got their revenge. First it was GB kicking their ass every time they gotta chance (with one exception T.O. Catch) then came the ATL dirty birdn all over they ass then the knockout blow the greatest show on turf Niners never had a shot against those squads. Ahhh those were the days. True whiner hater here can you tell?

Bergs will be just fine. He comes from a system that coaches up O linemen at the U. Made a transition from a mid major to a real conference last year. Bergs will be a starter on our line for years to come. Book it.
September 2nd, 2012 at 1:25 pm
Bergstrom played well the lst couple of preseason games but he got SCHOOLED in the last one. Lucas Nix did play well against Seattle tho.

Any 26 y/o that can’t dominate his way to a first round pick sucks imo (bergs). He was a grown man for god sakes going against 18 19 20 21 22 y/o kids.

Oh it can’t be entirely his fault , the whole O line he was in with was confused, Seattle was coming from all angles untouched , so maybe lack of good players playing alongside him had to do with that?

I was refering to his collegiate career couldn’t play himself into a first rounder against kids.
September 2nd, 2012 at 1:30 pm
East doesn’t understand that PLENTY of NFL players — linemen even — have been drafted when 26 and went on to have good careers. Pierce Holt comes immediately to mind, and there have been others. It means he’s more mature, and there’s NOTHING wrong with that.

Over the last three seasons, Winslow has 218 receptions for 2,377 yards and 12 touchdowns.
That’s alot of production for a guy everyone is saying is done. I like production!
================================================
There is no doubt that Winslow can still play at a very high level. He is hands down better than any of our TEs and all available TEs in free agency (yes, that includes cooley & shockey).
Know this, several teams have already shown interest in Winslow. This will not come down to whether or not the raiders chose him. But rather whether or not Winslow chooses us!
I’m keeping my fingers crossed!!!!! GO GET ‘EM RAIDERS!

If the announcers know anything about football, they will do that.

Hard to tell. I know they wanted to re-sign Cartwright but told him they’d have to wait until after the draft. I guess Cartwright got a firm offer from the 49ers in the meantime. He might still be a target.
Kahlil Bell or Legarrette Blount (who is apparently on the trading block) would make sense, but there’s no indication the Raiders have interest in either of them.
September 2nd, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Goodson is a concern. Looks like the kid can absolutely come apart at the seams when he makes a mistake, like fumbling. Not the type of guy you want to rely on in relief of DMAC/Jones if needed in a big game.

Hard to judge Goodson based on a couple performances behind the 2nd and 3rd team offensive lines a few days after getting a scary neck injury.
Honestly, I don’t know if any of the free agents available are clearly better than Goodson is. And I think the Raiders should carry 4 running backs anyway.

Joe Montana was not the greatest QB ever. Unitas, Marino, Peyton, and Graham were all arguably better.
Rice as the best WR? Maybe, but Don Hutson could give him a serious run for his money.
Only team with back-to-back HoF QBs? Look up Bob Waterfield and Norm Van Brocklin, Y.A. Tittle and Fran Tarkenton, and Bob Griese and Dan Marino. And Favre and Rodgers in another 15 years.

No team in NFL history besides the 49ers has ever fielded back-to-back Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Joe Montana and Steve Young made the Niners unique, but they also added to the team’s strong legacy at the game’s most vitally important position. A recent FoxSports survey focusing on all-time greats by franchise has us examining where the 49ers really rate among the league’s quarterback-rich teams.
There are many observers who would say the Niners rank No. 1. No team before or since ever had a tag-team duo like Montana and Young, who from 1981-1998 combined for four NFL MVP awards, 11 league passing titles, 14 Pro Bowl berths and, perhaps most significantly, led the 49ers to five Super Bowl championships.
No other NFL team ever had an enduring run of quarterback performance like that, and the 49ers also had some notable QB action before the Montana/Young juggernaut came along, putting San Francisco in the middle of any serious discussion regarding which franchises have been blessed with the best quarterback play.
To be sure, there are other franchises – several of them formed before the 49ers – who could stake a claim that their signal-callers were and have been the best.
If you go by the universal belief that quarterback is the most important position in football, it stands to reason that the team with the best quarterbacks over the long haul will win the most championships.

Oakland is the only team to make it to SUperbowl in 4 different decades …. Would have went to a lot more Superbowls If not for being cheated out of some playoff games , they were so good the AFL commission whatever his name is Vetoed the Elway trade to the Raiders , we would have dominated the 80s if that had went down , would have won in 01 and 02 if not for tuck rule and facing a fimiliar coach
September 2nd, 2012 at 5:20 pm
Had a winning record against about 28 of the teams before we went on this ugly run last few years but we’ll be back again under REggie

If that were true maybe however, molk, and the rest of the oline is terrible.

thats why rivets did not play in game 3.

September 2nd, 2012 at 7:31 pm
disc have 8 total olinemen. gayther, harweick and green may or may not suit or have not been cleared to play.
you do not have a back up RG, or RT.
I remeber last game we iced vasquez the RG.
Bottom line is you do not have sufficent parts to stop our D Trench, healthy or not.
Raids Dline should and will dominate.
September 2nd, 2012 at 7:37 pm
oh yes it’s going to be a good time beating them down on MNF … especially without their starters.
Thec,
i didn’t know 2 rookies were starting on their OL. i knew that Gaither was out again with the same back problem(good call by Hue Jackson not signing that injury case, we have enough of those) .. but not that a couple of practice squad type players were going to be on MNF. LMFAO
besides all that, the Norv and AJ Smith clown show continues, and it’s very soothing to know that the little CRY-ME-RIVERS & THE CHOCKER DOLTZ will go to the bottom of the league like in the good ol days with no championships to speak of. WAH-WAH-WAH!
September 2nd, 2012 at 7:41 pm
difference is with us come next Monday, Moore and Wiz will be playing and mostly healthy, while the only injured starter will be Curry.
even if say Wiz and Moore went down sometime near the end of the game, got pulled because of lingering issues(god i hope not), at least we’ll be suiting them up and make the super chokers worry about more than what they saw in preseason.
Moore might be rusty as hell, but we saw he and CP3 start connecting right off the bat last year, so i’m sure we’ll see that yet again. Moore just has good chemistry with anyone, including Soup!
Wiz will step right on in and do what he does. no worries there.
September 2nd, 2012 at 7:44 pm

sucks because they will try to improve by hiring a more competent group.

And what you meant to say is the Raiders are the dumbest team in all of sports, going into the SB, and not changing any of their plays, or cadences, even though the coach they were playing against taught them the plays.

OAKLAND RAIDERS @RAIDERS
CB Chimdi Chekwa, DT Vaughn Meatoga, C Colin Miller and RB Jeremy Stewart have been signed to the Raiders practice squad.
September 2nd, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Dave,
It’s HO!
September 2nd, 2012 at 8:34 pm
Here’s all I could find on Stewart. From Bleacher Report:
“Jeremy Stewart was not ranked on many draft boards. He didn’t do a lot of running or catching playing alongside Andrew Luck.
What he did do as a senior was find the end zone. He found it a lot for such a little used player.
On just 62 touches in 2011 Stewart hit pay dirt 10 times. He ran the football 55 times for 257 yards and nine touchdowns. He added seven receptions for 79 yards an another touchdown.
Stewart is a bigger back at 6′0″ and 218 pounds. He is no game breaker but he could have some chance to see the field as a short yardage or goal line option.
Running back is one of few positions where the Eagles lack depth which is why his odds are as high as they are.”

September 2nd, 2012 at 9:01 pm
I don’t understand why some people here think we may regress this season due to lack of depth at some positions or do to new schemes.
Our new schemes are suppose to improve one of the worst defenses since the merger, and help an offense score more which was an issue after DMAC was injured.
Depth s a valid issue, but it shouldn’t be a major factor that will cost us a few games IMO.
Anything below 8-8 is considered failure, and I expect a few coaches to be fired (Knapp, STs coach, and maybe some position coaches).

Sorry O, I somewhat diagree with that one.
1. Raiders picked up some rookies for depth.
2. Houston lost some weight and looks a bit faster
3. Shonasty is back and hopefully 100% healthy
4. Desmond will have a big year
5. Kelly is already talkin sht.
6. Tarver/Allen
D-line = improvement from 2011
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Great points.

Dang,
#8 reason the DL will be better
Hopefully the addition of Tollefson.
September 2nd, 2012 at 10:23 pm
I think our DL needs a pass rushing specialist, Nickel pass rusher, or what ever you like to call him.
September 2nd, 2012 at 10:28 pm
I think our 1st and 3rd should be invested in DE and CB or Safety if Huff is gone.
September 2nd, 2012 at 10:37 pm
reggie’s practice squad adds depth at all the positions where there are injury concerns. LB, WR, C, RB, DT. and he gets creative on not giving up on chekwa, since he only played a few games last year and still qualifies for the PS.
ok, now who the fuk is the return man?
September 2nd, 2012 at 10:37 pm
I like B Jenkins from Florida st. If he continues to play like he did last year, he may end up being a top 5 pick. Dude had 21 TFL and 13.5 sacks last year.
September 2nd, 2012 at 10:40 pm
next year’s draft priorities:
TE, FB, MLB, CB.
September 2nd, 2012 at 10:46 pm
Chase Thomas from Stanford is a monster.
I also like Bjoern Werner and Barkevious Mingo.
September 2nd, 2012 at 10:47 pm
As far as CBs go, Dee Milliner is worth keeping an eye on. Had an outstanding game against Michigan.

CB & TE most definately and an OT;
we have two of the best fullbacks in the NFL, so FB is not a need at all;
If MClain and Goethel do not show significant improvement then I would agree MLB is a need.
QB will be a need also possibly
September 2nd, 2012 at 10:58 pm
QB and DE/OLB are pretty deep positions in the 2013 draft. Lots of talent to be had there.
ILB and CB don’t seem nearly as deep, and might be easier to address in free agency if those positions prove to be real concerns in 2012.
Zach Ertz and Jake Stoneburner are solid prospects at TE and could be available in the middle rounds.

i don’t agree about FB. reece is a FB in name only. he’s a horrendous blocker and operates as WR that happens to come out of the backfield.
and as for schmitt, he is only adequate. it was good to bring in an actual blocker but he hasn’t played that much in the nfl. he may resemble jon ritchie but he’s not above average.

I’m not sold on the 2 kids from LSU.
You like Werner more than Jenkins?
September 2nd, 2012 at 11:06 pm
I do indeed like Werner more than Jenkins. Better run defender.
Mingo I like MUCH more than Montgomery. Better at shedding blocks and much more refined in his coverage drops.

Still LOL @ Mich
I thought D Amerson was suppose to be a beast, but he gave up 2 TDs in the 1st half.
September 2nd, 2012 at 11:08 pm
I’m not a huge fan of either of the Texas pass rushers, but I think Okafor is better than Jeffcoat. Jeffcoat struggles fighting through the trash, whereas Okafor occasionally sees snaps at DT, as well as DE and OLB.

===================
Amerson reminds me of Malcolm Jenkins. Might be a FS. The knock on him is his long speed, and he didn’t do much to debunk that notion against Tennessee.
Milliner impressed me. A lot of folks like Xavier Rhodes, Johnthan Banks and Johnny Adams, but I haven’t seen the latter two play very much. Rhodes worries me because of the ACL injury.
September 2nd, 2012 at 11:11 pm
Werner is a better run defender, but 21 TFL and 13.5 sacks is great production. I think Shaughnessy and Houston are great against the run, but we need a speedy guy who gets sacks. Jenkins gets sacks!
I hope he is available when we pick, but I doubt it unless we have a top 10 pick.

Werner is making the transition to OLB, so I’m interested to see how he does standing up.
I’m drawn to DE/OLBs who are good at using their hands to shed blocks – to me that’s the most important skill at the next level. If you’re an outside rusher, you’re going to have to regularly take on mammoth offensive tackles. In the NFL they’re not as easy to run around as they are in college.
September 2nd, 2012 at 11:16 pm
I like Rhodes, but you are right, his injury is a concern. Reminds me of Peterson (size), but not as elite IMO.
September 2nd, 2012 at 11:16 pm
Chase Thomas is far and away my favorite DE/OLB in this class, though. Doesn’t seem to have many weaknesses in his game at all. He’s versatile enough to play ILB too.

What do you think of William Gholston? Great size, but avg production. He played well against The OSU last year, but I don’t know much about the kid.

===================
I just don’t know where he fits in. Might be a situation like Quentin Coples where he’s more of a 5-tech DE who can be moved around depending on the situation. I don’t see him as a full time 4-3 DE or DT.
Physical freak, for sure. But the lack of production is worrying.

He reminds me of Shea McClellin. Can play DE/ OLB & 3-4 or 4-3.

You are 100% right, but you can’t coach/ teach speed. That initial burst of the line is important too. Jenkins is an athletic freak.
September 2nd, 2012 at 11:33 pm
I think healan play OLB too where his speed and athlecism is an asset. Similar to Wimbley with more moves.
I’m really high on this kid.
September 2nd, 2012 at 11:34 pm
I don’t think he is an every down DE at this point, and better fit as a nickel pass rusher which is exactly what we need IMO.

Sorry dude’s about all the Ebonics. Just got my Rosetta Stone for Ebonics just the other day. Somebody once told me that Spanish would be good to learn for the car biz. I like to buck trends so I started learning Ebonics.
Ya feel me?
