Raiders sign three free agents, cut three from 53-man roster
By Steve Corkran
Saturday, September 1st, 2012 at 11:20 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders signed offensive tackle Willie Smith, linebacker Keenan Clayton and cornerback Philip Adams on Saturday, one day after they pared their roster to 53 players.
They waived cornerbacks Chimdi Chekwa and Bryan McCann and waived/injured defensive tackle Jamie Cumbie to make room for the aforementioned trio on the 53-man roster.
Clayton appeared in 21 games for the Philadelphia Eagles over the past two seasons. Adams played in 21 games for the 49ers, New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. Clayton started one game. Adams has no starts as an NFL player.
Smith appeared in four games for the Redskins last season, of which three he started. He is 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds.
The Raiders have not announced any roster moves since they pared 22 players from the 75-man roster in reaching compliance with the league-mandated maximum of 53 on Friday night.
For every player signed from here on out, the Raiders are required to release a player from their roster.
In other news, look for the Raiders to begin signing players to their practice squad today. Teams are permitted to sign as many as eight players to their practice squad.
Likely candidates include linebackers Nathan Stupar and Chad Kilgore, defensive tackle Dominique Hamilton, wide receivers Derek Carrier and Travionte Session and kicker Eddy Carmona.

From Bill Williamson:
In other AFC West notes:
It’s interesting that Oakland has kept punter Marquette King. He was put on injured reserve with a toe injury. If star punter Shane Lechler leaves after the season as a free agent, perhaps King can be groomed. King is not NFL ready, but he has a live leg and he has potential.

I don’t play franchise mode offline. For madden 13 franchise online mode, they now have a salary cap, a make believe Twitter feed. But just the overall game play is better. Corner backs actuallytry to play the ball, gang tackling, and coverages are now hidden. You van no longer motion your receivers to read coverages.

Willie Smith
2011 season
On July 28, 2011, the Washington Redskins signed Smith as an undrafted free agent.[3] Due to the suspension of Trent Williams, Smith played his first professional game in Week 14 of the 2011 season, rotating the left tackle position with Sean Locklear.[4] In Week 15 against the New York Giants, he would start his first game instead of Locklear.[5] He continued to start as the left tackle for the rest of the 2011 season. Smith has received praise for his ability to defend against elite pass rushers Jason Pierre-Paul, Jared Allen, and Trent Cole, despite being a rookie.[6]
2012 season
During 2012 training camp, Smith split snaps at right tackle with Tyler Polumbus and Maurice Hurt after Jammal Brown was placed on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list.[7] He was released on August 31, 2012 for final cuts before the start of the 2012 season.[8]

Cork has flat-out stated that firing Hue was all Mark Davis’ call. Cork has the utmost confidence in that fact based on sources within the organization. Mark doing that could be for a lot of reasons, but since Mark almost always takes a hands-off approach on the football side of the business, they prob had little to do with Hue’s merits as a head football coach and more to do with something else such as wanting to put his own stamp on the team, wanting to eliminate those who had been in the org and may not take him as seriously as a new hire would, or maybe Hue personally irritated him for some reason.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Very good post. Loved he guy, but he pissed me off with the Palmer trade. Too bad for Hue there’s a hell of a lot more to getting HC/OC jobs than merit. He’ll be fine. I liked Knapp during his 1st tour here. Losing him to Seattle was a big blow to JR’s career and to the team’s prospects until Al stepped in and hired Hue. I like the way this offense is looking now, just have serious concerns about the trigger man. No OC in the history of football can stop Palmer from ignoring safties over the top and just flinging the ball up like a dmbsht if that’s what he wants to do. We’ll just have to hold our breath and see what happens.

……….
He been hesitant to run didn’t want to be labled an athlete following pat white. He isn’t a speed burner but he is more the Gannon/ Campbell type. He can pick up that 3rd & 8 with his scrambling. He is putting on a hiesman show at the moment. 32/ 36 Over 300 yards 4 tds about 20 rushing yards. He said that he wants to use his legs now to run I stead of just looking to throw on scrambles now that he has clearly established that he is one of the best passers in the country.

Agreed debo, losing knapp & flip destroyed Jamarcus, especially losing his uncle at the same time his mentor. Hujac was a hell of a play caller, but he went off the rails without Davis.
Davis & hujac needed one another. Davis neede hu jack because he could relate to players & put points in the board the raider way. Hu jack neede Davis to pick his players. Davis vetoed hujac trying to bring in Palmer & other bungle rejects.
Looks like coach Davis was right

I don’t know if people realize this but not only has Palmer been the worst starter qb in the preseason he is actually looking up at guys like Curtis painter at the moment as even 2nd & 3rd stringers also badly out paler formed him this preseason.
I would say that is cause for concern

When I went to the oak vs sd I Oakland last year. I went to a place in Oakland famous for ice cream (can’t remember the places name) some guy who somehow realised I was from Socal told me to take the Raiders back with me. That Oakland didn’t want them. SMH.

Hopefully this is the season that gets Tedford canned.
I am sick of his act.

Well weather they remain in the bay area or love to that Mighty Socal, there my team. I want them in L.A. so I can get season tickets but if they remain in Oaktown, ill bust that mission once a year Fosho.

Nix is more likely than Barksdale, because he can be PSed and because we’re short of tackles otherwise.

Given Knapp’s history here before, I don’t know if we are going to be throwing the ball enough for Palmer to chuck 14-17 INT’s. Looks like we are going to run, run, run, this year.
————————
Hope history doesn’t repeat itself. I mean, he has to have learned something from his poorly ranked offense he’s had in the past? Change it up Knapp, don’t be so stubborn!

Watch the games bra media reports are garbage
***************************
I’ve watched plenty of his games, and I have said MANY TIMES, I really like his game.
I just don’t get you with this “athletic” QB stuff.
You think Geno Smith is a great athlete, and dismiss Jake Locker as an athlete.
Geno Smith will play in the NFL, and be a Tom Brady/Eli Manning Pocket QB once he turns 28 or so and loses that youth.
……
I have never dismissed locker as an athlete just not a big fan of him as a qb.
September 1st, 2012 at 12:46 pm
Canes let BC march down the field like nothing…first play on offense=false start. Way to go!
September 1st, 2012 at 12:47 pm
I think Locker is going to be pretty good this year.
September 1st, 2012 at 12:47 pm
@124
That’s why you get the online updated roster. There always updating the roster
September 1st, 2012 at 12:49 pm
You really can’t blame big mck for keeping Palmer. We are basically stuck with him this season. Becuase of what we gave up to get him & the fact that they had no one behind him forced the raiders hand in that regard.
The other issue is that every time Carson has hit the field for the raiders his stock drops. He basically has no trade value today as a result of his putrid play

We will see, I think he will flop after a couple of inconsistent years. Actually I think passing is his weak spot & in college he lacked the one major thing I like in qbs the clutch gene. He was a bit of a shrinkage guy, this is why I liked Pryor ahead of locker. Good athletes,accuracy needs work but Pryor has the clutch gene

Mistic1 Tha Supavillain Says: Davis vetoed hujac trying to bring in Palmer & other bungle rejects.////////////No he didn’t. Davis brought in Huejack because of his ties to Cincy and already had his eye on a disgruntled Palmer. Yes, he talked up Campbell but he had no choice ‘cuz the Bruce wasnot Al’s kind of QB and he finally came to accept that Jurassic Russell was a complete waste of skin. This was all documented by Seymour Bush.

I don’t know the exact amount, but it’s obvious that Seymour and Palmer have the highest salaries on the team, both journeyman veterans who, at least with Seymour, had some good seasons. I don’t know how much of % they both amount too in the overall payroll and caps, but I am sure is significant, and how much of those salaries are owed if they are waived or retired, in the case of Seymour.
So it would be obvious that Raiders fans would expect these two players to excel and put their respective units on their backs. If let’s say, either one of them still has another excellent year left in their tanks.
I know this is unrealistic for Seymour with arthritic knees or tendonitis to lead with his on the field play, for what it seems in pre-season, we’ll probably see limited action until he finally breaks down.
With Palmer, if indeed has another pro bowl-season like, it would merit the hope, but that was a long time ago, and he has been more in a decline in the last four years. Whether or not he has another one left in him, he’ll be highly exposed in the Knapp offense, unless DMAC is made the centerpiece of the offense, defenses will be coming after Palmer, he’d better be ready to move.

Here’s the skinny on Willie Smith. I have known him personally since he was a kid. Tremendous physical specimen. Hard worker. Excellent character. The rap on him always was that he didn’t play enough on the OL at ECU. Now he has the experience from playing for the skins. Had three really good starts after the starting fool failed a drug test (duh–middle of the season). Skins picked up Black out of nowhere to take Willie’s spot. Probably a Shanahan move, since Willie was progressing well. Willie will learn the position and do well because he is hungry and talented. Needs work on foot movement. NOTE: Willie will never get arrested, suspended, fail a drug test or beat up his wife. He just won’t.
