Ford ‘up in the air’ for Chargers game
By Steve Corkran
Tuesday, September 4th, 2012 at 1:44 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The good news for the Raiders? Wide receiver Jacoby Ford jogged today for the first time since he injured his left foot. The bad news? Ford has only five more days to go from jogging to getting up to full speed if he is going to play in the regular-season opener.
Hey, as Ford said, it’s progress. Ford spent most of the 17 days with his foot in a protective boot and undergoing intensive rehabilitation.
“Just kind of up in the air at this point,” Ford said, when asked if he thinks he can play Monday night. “I just have to see what the coaches and the training staff think.”
Ford said he is awaiting word from one of the Raiders doctors. The Raiders no doubt are taking the cautious approach, given Ford suffered a similar injury to the same spot on the same foot last season.
“Last time, it took awhile,” Ford said.
Ford hurt the foot against the San Diego Chargers on Nov. 10. He missed the next six games, though he was able to play in the season finale.
He said he intends to wear some orthotics in his left shoe as a means of relieving some of the pressure on the bottom of his foot.
– Cornerback Chimdi Chekwa might be down, but he is far from out.
The Raiders waived Chekwa last Friday in finalizing their 53-man roster. One day later, Chekwa was back with the Raiders, only this time as one of the eight members of their practice squad.
Yet, Chekwa is using the sudden turn of events as motivation for becoming a better player and finding his way back on to the 53-man roster.
“They see something in me to keep me around here,” Chekwa said. Also, I got the confidence in myself. My main focus is to keep working and continue to get better. I know I’ll get that shot and when I do, I hope to make the most of it.”
Chekwa did just that last season, when he started the fourth game of the season. Unfortunately for Chekwa, he suffered a serious hamstring injury — in game three — that ultimately necessitated him being placed on injured reserve and missed the rest of the season.
The injury cost Chekwa valuable practice time. When he returned this season, he was forced to abandon some of what he learned last season in favor of a new defensive scheme.
“Yeah, it’s an adjustment I have to make and you really got to get acclimated to it,” Chekwa said. “This team is a good team, it’s a team that’s ready to win ballgames. As long as I continue to grow, it gives me an opportunity to learn from the older guys and be able to jump in there when it’s time for me to go play.”
Chekwa said he has received words of encouragement from older players such as Ron Bartell and Shawntae Spencer about how to handle the change from going from a guy on the active roster to someone that needs to prove himself again.
– Middle linebacker Rolando McClain said rookie Miles Burris tends to get pretty fired up during games. To that end, McClain said that’s one of the few things he has to keep an eye on in regard to Burris.
Burris said he is conscious of keeping his emotions in check, though it’s sometimes easier said than done.
“It’s a fine line of trying not to get too amped so that there’s more nerves and you get more winded or whatever it is,” Burris said. “You’re kind of a different person when you get out on the field, wear your jersey with your teammates and it’s game day.”
– Punter Shane Lechler is embarking upon his first full regular season without late managing general partner Al Davis calling the shots.
Naturally, things are quite different around here than they were during Lechler’s first 12 seasons with the Raiders. In some respects, that’s a good thing.
“Tons of the gray area is gone,” Lechler said. “There are no kept secrets. It’s boom, boom, boom. What they say is what we do and that’s the way. I’m glad to be able to play under this circumstance now, because now I know. You know every day what you’re getting. It’s fun to have that kind of structure.”
Under Davis, everything was at his discretion. Sometimes, that meant players and coaches being unaware of certain things, until Davis issued word.
Now, there is a clear-cut chain of command, from owner Mark Davis to general manger Reggie McKenzie to coach Dennis Allen and so forth.
“We’re headed in a different but positive direction,” Lechler said. “As (everyone) can see, there’s been a lot of change, the most I’ve ever been around; every part of the building.
“It’s just one of those things, I guess an organization goes through when you go through what we went through, with losing Al and doing that stuff. We’re taking the proper steps and heading in the right direction. There are zero things to complain about. Everything has a reason, and you can see the reason.”
– Rookie guard Lucas Nix felt as if he played well enough to get drafted in the NFL. Naturally, he was disappointed when the call never came.
Through it all, he found solace in a phrase he heard from a friend’s father: “cream always rises.”
Nix took that to heart, signed with the Raiders and worked hard during the offseason and training camp in hopes of realizing his dream.
Last Friday, Nix learned that he had made the Raiders 53-man roster as a backup offensive lineman.
“He said, ‘Just because you didn’t get drafted, don’t think any less of your ability. Just because someone got drafted doesn’t mean they’re better than you. They saw something in them that they didn’t see in you,’ ” Nix said. “I came out here with that attitude and I worked hard. Fortunately I’m still on this team.”
Nix isn’t satisfied with just being on the roster. He is intent upon earning some playing time and making a name for himself before long.
“I have the ability to be a great player,” Nix said. “It’s just putting it on the field and letting everybody else see it. The biggest challenge for me coming here was learning the new offense and just being consistent on the field every day. That’s what they were looking for, and as camp went on I got gradually more consistent.”
– Rookie wide receiver Rod Streater is another player that went undrafted and later signed with the Raiders. Whereas Nix has to wait for playing time, Streater just might find himself in the starting lineup in his first NFL game.
Projected starter Denarius Moore and key backup Ford are questionable for the Chargers game Monday night, putting Streater in line to start opposite Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Streater is quick to point out that he isn’t taking anything for granted.
“It’s pretty amazing from going undrafted to getting here,” Streater said. “But, in the end, I still have to produce, continue to do my job, and continue to compete at a high level. I don’t want it to get to me and take my performance down.”
The Raiders have only five wide receivers on their roster. If Moore and Ford can’t play, Streater and fellow rookie Juron Criner can count on plenty of playing time right away.
With that in mind, Streater is doing everything he can to prepare for a starring role.
“Study with Carson (Palmer) every day and try to take in anything he has to offer, continue to work hard and study the plays so I can go out there and perform, so that I can do it,” Streater said.

Raiderduck. I’d rather go with a guy who won the starting job last year than an undrafted rookie.

Disagree. Streater has the potential to be really good. Murphy is a big ol’ slab of mediocrity.
September 4th, 2012 at 1:46 pm
I like Murphy.
Streater offers more though.

YA,
I wasn’t impressed with Logan Thomas, and I don’t think he is 1st round talent based on yesterday’s game.
===========
I hesitate to scout a guy based on one game, but those accuracy issues are something he’s going to have to fix. He’s only a couple years removed from playing TE, so he looks like a prospect who’s going to take some development. Could definitely scare teams away from using a 1st round pick on him, in spite of his rare physical traits.
September 4th, 2012 at 1:50 pm
That’s OK.
Streater will fill in just fine I’m sure. 10 targets by CP3. 4-6 catches.

++++++++++++
The number one reason for this ie. Keeping your emotions in Check is simple–for those of you who may not know…..Plain and Simple..Getting out of control emotionally During a game is exhausting…One second your high as a kite, next second you have just drained your adrenaline reserves and you got NOTHING left in the tank for 3rd and 4th Quarters…
I have had it happen, make a pic 6 in the second quarter, and your on cloud 9…comes third quarter and your feet feel like they are in cement…
Lesson Learned..
Burris will learn too…Happy for him. I think he has a Bright Future with us.

Ahhhh, I see..wow..Thanks for the heads up. I thought it might be something like that..interesting. Oh well, moving onward and upward. We have a defensive minded coach and a defensive minded GM–they must have seen some serious gaps in DVD’s skill set..
September 4th, 2012 at 2:06 pm
Incidentally, the “less than 9 games” requirement, combined with his years-long-tenure as the inactive third QB, made Dennis Dixon (who’s been in the league almost a half-decade) eligible for the Practice Squad, and that’s where he is now (with the Ravens, IIRC).

If POTENTIAL won games we would have triple the amount of guys in the hall of fame than we do.Cant wait to compare stats between streater and murphy.

I had to give my season tickets for this game. I really hope this is a sell out and on ESPN. It’ll be a shame if we can’t even sell out our home opener.

Bro, the only reason DVD isnt on the PS is because he isnt eligible.
Chekwa being injured last year ended up helping him this year.

Change is this case is very, very good. I once heard a dude in the head of the Coliseum say that the Raiders were “one good stroke away from the Super Bowl.”

He had the starting job in training camp because DHB and Ford were both injured. He didn’t “win” anything. And he certainly wasn’t good enough to “win” the starting job once he was healthy. Every other receiver passed him on the depth chart.

raiders will shutout the chargers come monday night
17-0
defensive struggle, as both offenses are missing key players. momentum on raiders side, playing at home, under new coach, the black hole will be lively.
only concern here is special teams. if the raiders dont fumble away on special teams, or allow a return for a TD.
special teams looks to be our number 1 weakest, followed by Greg Knapp as our OC.

DVD is gone. he is a memory. as for the people regretting the murphy trade, don’t. he’s just an ok receiver and u don’t plan on having injuries to two of ur top three guys. streater and criner have both shown more than murphy and they will do fine. plus, u have to remember that dmc and reece, and possibly ausberry, will be split out quite a bit. we will run the ball a tone, and probably throw about 20 times. and moore seems close. if he’s running, then it’s not far away. ford is running now too.

You’re the one crying about Al Davis.
He accomplished many things in his career. But there’s no question his management style was the reason that the last two decades were miserable for the Raiders.
It’s also no coincidence that the last time they got close to winning it all was the only time in the last couple decades were anyone else in the organization had any power – and as soon as Allen, Lombardi, and Gruden had all been cast off, it was back to organizational chaos.

I think the revamped DLine is going to be a huge key in getting more turnovers. The 1’s have been somewhat dominant up front during the pre-season. That has to carry forward (unlike TP has done so far).

Raiders WR Juron Criner came down with an ankle injury during Monday’s practice.
Criner was moving “slightly better” on Tuesday, but he now joins Denarius Moore (hamstring) as questionable for the opener. With so many question marks at wide receiver, the Raiders beat writers expect a heavier than normal workload for Darren McFadden versus the Chargers.

#269 Have a feeling Jacoby Ford will be questionable all season.
September 4th, 2012 at 5:34 pm
I don’t see an injury risk. Cause if there is one, as in he’s more at risk to get injured than any other qb then he won’t make it through the season. We will see if your right when/if he goes down. He will be targeted. He will take big hits. Especially week one and week four.

September 4th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
I’d love to get a list right now of where everyone stands on this blog regarding the hotbed issues.
The Gut – There seems to be a contingent here lately that is second guessing everything he does. By next week there will be a strong tide against him. Either get on board now or dont. It doesnt matter, just take a stand.
Knapp – The haters have been in full swing for a while now. You all know who you are.
CP3 – This list of haters is nearly as long as Knapps
DMC – The “trade McFadden” talk has died down over the last couple months but there were quite a few who wanted him traded last spring. Care to admit who you are?
Goodson – Im on this list
DHB – His list of haters has gotten smaller but it is still there. And dont think because youve jumped ship as of late that we are going to let you off the hook Corky. All you did was bash DHB for years.
DMo – Like Reggie, he’s getting a small following as of late
Ford – Jacoby’s detractors are loud and proud. We shouldnt have any problems getting anyone to admit which side of the fence they are on here. That is, until he is healthy again and then the haters will be shut up.
Seymour – His list is almost as long as CP3’s. And like Ford’s, people will be quick to admit where they stand on Big Rich. That is, until he comes up big again and blocks a major FG attempt.
Death Ro – Maybe the largest negative following on the Raiders. Tho, theyve been silent as of late
Missile Mike – Like the DHB haters, theyve been silent and few will admit they had the kid wrong
Huffy – Plenty of Huff haters out there are in for a rude awakening this season now that he has a real defensive scheme behind him
Wheeler – Believe it or not, some arent sold on this guy. You know who you are.
Simply copy and paste that list, erase my anecdotes, and write either “believer” or “lost cause” next to each name so we know where you stand now and can rip you come playoff time for not getting on the bandwagon early enough.
Y’all know where I stand. With exception of Goody, Im a believer in all the rest.
September 4th, 2012 at 5:46 pm
Moore and Ford CONSTANTLY being OUT for games in just flat out disappointing.

==========================
Would have loved to see it happen in the offseason and gotten some picks in return. Too late to do it now, obviously. I doubt the Raiders will ever get a full season out of McFadden. And if he can’t stay healthy, how can he be in the Raiders’ long-term plans? Especially with that huge cap hit.

Seymour I fear may be over the hill, but I have hope that he still does have something in the tank. Knapp I am wait and see on. Everyone one else I am high on, but a bit concerned over Goodson’s history of fumbling, as well as the fact that all three RB’s have a history of injury.

I forgot the name of the analyst but I was listening to 95.7 The Game this Morning and someone from SI is predicting that Palmer will be benched and Pryor will be the spark for the Offense.
Really? Does any1 else think this?
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Gannon and Schein were especially harsh on Sirius this morning. They think that Palmer has four games to pull his head out of his ass, or we’ll be seeing Leinart OR Pryor. Gannon thinks the receivers would have a lot to do with Palmer’s struggles.
September 4th, 2012 at 5:56 pm
DHB has improved a lot, but I doubt he’ll ever be a dominant WR. He’s a nice piece to have on the team when the other guys are healthy, but I still would have rather had Hakeem Nicks (who I stumped for before that draft), who would have been able to contribute right away.
September 4th, 2012 at 5:56 pm
I didnt get in on this topic earlier but I guess I’ll bring it up. Louis Murphy is a good player and looks to be a good 3rd Wideout option for Cam Newton and who knows with his talent maybe the 2nd.. Would I trade him for a 7th? NO…. The reason being is I feel like he did have more value. Murphy seemed like a good guy but he was frustrated do to no1 having faith in him the last year. Do we need him rite now? Yea we kind of do. With DHB and Streater being the only healthy option is not a good thing and a healthy Murphy would be better than bring up a Healty Sessions from the P-Squad.

Lets see, spy on us without a warrant and then jail us without a trial. This is the new America. Thankyou GW and B.O.

Huff and Mitchell were guys who I didn’t like as pieces of the Al Davis-era defenses, but I have a lot more confidence in them now that they’re in a real scheme.
Neither is a very complete player, but both have some redeeming traits. Mitchell is best suited to be a situational player. Huff is at his best when he’s allowed to blitz, which I expect to see a lot more of under Dennis Allen.

I don’t get the Knapp critics.
Palmer throws the ball downfield to the WRs.
Lienart “dinks and dunks” it.
It’s on the QBs decision making ,imo.

342 what?
September 4th, 2012 at 6:00 pm
The Gut – Think he’s doing an awesome job.
Knapp – Cautiously optimistic.
CP3 – See Knapp.
DMC – Was in favor of trading him IF we could get an impact draft pick in return, based solely on DMAC’s injury history. That ship has sailed, and I’m hoping for an awesome season from #20.
Goodson – On probation. BIG TIME. But it’s not like we really gave up anything to get him.
DHB – Hard worker, but just not a natural pass catcher.
DMo – Awesome talent, but please stay healthy.
Ford – His rep is based on a couple of awesome catches in 2010. Need to see more NOW.
Seymour – His buy-in was necessary for DA and Tarver to get credibility. Won’t be necessary next year.
Death Ro – Hoping for the best.
Missile Mike – Looking up.
Huffy – See Knapp.
Wheeler – Awesome pickup. Don’t know why anyone would think otherwise.
September 4th, 2012 at 6:00 pm
DHB – Cork

Seymour is indeed over the hill. Luckily the Raiders were able to restructure his contract. I like the Darren Sharper comparison DA made – he’s a guy who can still contribute if you monitor his snaps.
McClain is, in my opinion, in a very similar vein to Huff and Mitchell. A limited player who does enough well for DA to finally put him in a position where he isn’t a liability.

I’d love to get a list right now of where everyone stands on this blog regarding the hotbed issues.
Wheeler – Believe it or not, some arent sold on this guy. You know who you are.

Wheeler is a good player, but I hope we don’t have to see him covering TEs too much. Seems to be the hole in his game.
Love him as a blitzer, and he’s been VERY active against the run.

Can’t tell you how disappointed I was with MM34’s decision to go for the hit instead of the pick on that play where he drew the flag.
Was even more disappointed with him doing the head butt celebration after it was CLEAR that it was a penalty.

DHB has improved a lot, but I doubt he’ll ever be a dominant WR. He’s a nice piece to have on the team when the other guys are healthy, but I still would have rather had Hakeem Nicks (who I stumped for before that draft), who would have been able to contribute right away.

JaMarcus agrees with you.

I’m not a Knapp Hater, but I’m not sold on the guy.

I’m not sure, but didn’t Wheeler make a great tackle on Pettigrew in that game? Dude can tackle with the elite.imo

September 4th, 2012 at 6:14 pm
The Gut – I have agreed for the most part with his moves. I think the Murphy trade was to early
Knapp – I’m not a fan of the way he plays his game. I dont think Palmer is a roll out guy and I think if something goes wrong with the playcalling I believe Knapp will place blame on players. Dont like the Guy
CP3 – I actually like Palmer. Is he aging? Yes he is. It does seem like he has lost zip on some of his ball and I think he tries to rely on the tough throw too much.
DMC – Absolutley love this kid. The Injuries are a concern. I never really touched on the Trade topic because I would want alot in return and I know that wouldnt happen. I honestly get scared everytime he hits a hole and i hate that feeling when it comes to my HB but if he can somehow stay healthy he would be a top 3 rusher
Goodson – I like the kid and I like the fire but he is a fumble machine. I think he has some big play ability but the positive of that gets taken away from the fumbles..I would have rather had Benson (Yea I said It)
DHB – I broke my hand when we drafted him but he grew on me and now I’m a huge fan.
DMo – The guy is Dynamite at times but the Injuries are killing me. Plus DMo has a reputation of having a poor attitude when things dont go his way and the Injuries could mess with his head(Volunteer Days)
Ford – I drive a CHEVY
Seymour – You were very good at 1 time but you are aging and taking up alot of money.
Death Ro – I watch all his college games and was juiced when we drafted him. Now it’s a little lackluster. He looks a little better by Mid Season we’ll know if he will be our MLB of the Future
Missile Mike – Had no clue who he was. At 1point I was frustrated but I think with Tarvers defense he will be a big part. I predict 4 sacks
Huffy – I drove a Schwinn
Wheeler – I like the guy. He will be big for us and Reggie Mac will extend his contract.
