Ford to have foot surgery
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, September 11th, 2012 at 1:35 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Wide receiver Jacoby Ford will have foot surgery in North Carolina and be out a “signficant’’ amount of time, Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Tuesday.
Ford was with the team Saturday but did not attend the Raiders’ season-opening 22-14 loss to the San Diego Chargers.
The Raiders will be looking for wide receivers but won’t necessarily sign one immediately.
“We’ve got five receivers right now and Reggie and I will look down and see where we’re at,’’ Allen said.
Ford missed six the last seven games a year ago with a foot injury which was re-injured Aug. 17 in the second preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals.
The Raiders hoped rest would improve the condition, but Allen said a foot specialist and the club staff determined “surgery was the best option for him.’’
Allen was hopeful wide receiver Denarius Moore, out since Aug. 4 with a hamstring strain but inactive against San Diego, would be ready to play Sunday against Miami.

Allen basically called him out when the results of his MRI came back.
I think Ford wants out like Murph.

Yeah he sounded like it last year. Maybe.

This team needs some solid vets on it. Im not talking about hagan. Im talking about guys who have been there and done it.
Bring in plaxico. Bring in Ryan grant to backup Dmac. and get Terrelle Pyror on the field. I dont want to see him in street clothes just collecting a check
September 11th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
Great. Next man up.
September 11th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
So what? Knapp wouldnt know how to use Ford anyway.

FIRE KNAPP OUT OF A CANNON INTO THE FUÇKING BAY!!
September 11th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Holy crap, after watching the first 2 punts that Goethel snapped it was Burris that screwed the pooch on both of those. Even if Travis had got the first one off the ground Rosario was going to block it. Burris blocked outside both times and Rosario ran free up the middle with nothing more than a hand check. Easy pickins.
September 11th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
You dont think ford wants to get lit up at the los?? Why not?
September 11th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
Ford has a legit injury that he could not prevent.
Hamstring injures on the other hand….those usually come from not taking care of yourself….D. Moore, I am looking at you!

September 11th, 2012 at 1:48 pm
Injuries are part of the game. I agree with RaidersAllday_LtsGeTit—We need to bring in a few more Wily veterans.
As far as the Knapptime Freakout goes–Im not extremely worried about it right now. Things went real wrong real quick last night. Streators Fumble..Tommy Kelly having the I.Q of a turnip..and nobody on the 53 man roster besides Condo that can perform a pass between their legs was game, set, match..
We play up to our abilities and we win. If DMAC can break a tackle or two here or there we win…I mean, it was only 1 game. No time to Panic right now. Think about what Saints Fan is thinking right about now. If ever there was a game to be chalked up as a win, it was the Saints Opener, and they got punched in the mouth…
Its all about how you come back.
September 11th, 2012 at 1:48 pm
Allen is not going to fire Knapp. Allen is a rookie head coach and he has to give the man a chance. Help him, guide him but never listen to his BS.
September 11th, 2012 at 1:48 pm
Sucks he’ll be out.
i dont think that zone blocking system will benefit D.Mac an his skills.
barnes needs to be replaced and the defense played stout with a few plays getting away from them.

Why didn’t he have the surgery earlier? Did he just re-injure last week?
September 11th, 2012 at 1:57 pm
I am going to give Dennis Allen the benefit of the doubt about what happened Monday night. Ultimately, it was his responsibility to make sure the ST coach had his guys ready, including the backups, and to make sure the offense best utilized its weapons, so that was on him.
However, Dennis Allen just seems like the type of guy who will see a mistake, correct it, and we will never have an issue with it again. At least I hope that is the type of coach he is….
September 11th, 2012 at 1:58 pm
Do we have any men in the nation that can make us a double barrel cannon?? We need to fire 2 coaches into the bay.. someone else can chum the waters…

Sign back Rock Cartwright for Punt protection
September 11th, 2012 at 2:03 pm
Oakland faced a fourth-and-two from the San Diego Chargers 48-yard line early in the third quarter of a tight game Monday night. Dennis Allen choose to punt.
Punting is not necessarily the percentage play. It’s really crazy when you just lost your long snapper and the backup hasn’t snapped since high school. You know what happened next. The Raiders incurred a penalty before even snapping the ball in a punt formation, and then Travis Goethel threw a ground ball to Shane Lechler.
It shouldn’t be that hard to pick up a short-yardage conversion. The Raiders were at midfield where the benefits of a punt are mitigated. Yes, part of Goethel’s nightmare night as a fill-in long snapper could have been avoided.
Great coaches are able to adapt. There are plenty of coaches that would go for it on any fourth-and-two in that situation. There are even more coaches that would know to adjust their plan. I have high hopes for Allen, but this was not a great debut. The Raiders were the same old sloppy group.

September 11th, 2012 at 2:03 pm
The entire transition of the offense was handled improperly.
The majority of our weapons on offense including the QB were drafted using the Al Davis, vertical, stretch the field, power scheme philosophy.
We do not have the player personnel to fully implement what Knapp is trying to do!
Saunders should have been made the OC with Knapp as HIS adviser, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!
Then Knapp’s plan could be slowly integrated over the next season or two as we acquire the best players to implement that scheme!
This entire thing was handled completely AZZ BACKWARDS from the start!!!
As a result…J Raider has started the OFFICIAL:
“FIRE”, “DEMOTE”, “RELIEVE OF PLAYCALLING DUTIES” GREG KNAPP” PETITION!!!
Whatever language you prefer makes no difference to me!!!

Follow along, Jacoby Ford & Jason Campbell were extrememly close friends. When the Palmer trade happened Ford was very unhappy. As was Campbell.
Early in camp there was concern that a few players werent buying in to the new regime.
Then Murphy gets traded, Ford has a horrible performance in the first game. Not in it mentally.
Then Allen calls Ford out, saying he has to play thru the pain, now surgery.

We all got mad at Gannon for saying we are ranked 26th in the league….turns out he was being generous.
That punting fiasco was a national embarrassment and an insult to all the fans who had faith that he was gonna “fix” this thing.
He ain’t fixed schytt…and until he does the jury is out on him and he’s no better than Cable or Hue.
At least Cable swept the division and found a way to beat SD…and SD was BETTER than the SD team out there last night.

Yes, that SD team was a lot better. This year, I think SD is going be very avg and we got handled.
Hue had his faults as a head coach and spokesman of the org. But his offenses continually pushed around SD’s defense.
I could see the changing of the guard as far as being more physical than the chokers. Not anymore unfortunately.

Bruce Campbell was a beast for Carolina all preseason and will probably be a starter for them for a few years, at least. Meanwhile, we have the Greg Knapp of Offensive Lineman, Khalif Barnes, who manages to keep a job each year no matter how poor his performance the previous year was. Campbell was one player I was really looking forward to seeing the Raiders develop.

Not Kneejerk. If the Raiders showed any ability to score in the preseason, maybe. But they’ve shown an inability to score, all preseason. Come out on the National TV opener, against a Div Rival, and can’t score.

I don’t think the Tijuana Light Sockets “handled” us. The punt snap was follie material. Palmer threw too many check downs. Bad timing on the one turnover and penalties on the D. Still with all of that, the D hung tough and kept us in the game. The O didn’t quit and put a TD on the board before the end of regulation. I won’t panic unless we lose to the Fish. I think Plaxico is the only WR out there who is legit and can help us. He had a good year last season, fresh out the penn and with no offseason. Kid has been working hard. Bring him in. And even if we don’t, IN REGGIE WE TRUST!!

Not really.
Looks like you just did a quick google search without knowing much about the situation.
I actually watched Bruce play this preseason, did you? Did you also know that Byron Bell, the 2011 UDFA that you are referencing, is actually a good player and had already won the RT job last year? Did you also know that there was a battle all preseason, because Campbell was close to supplanting Bell as the starter?

FIRE THE SPECIAL TEAMS COACH NOW!
EXTEND CONDO AND GIVE HIM A HUGE BONUS
September 11th, 2012 at 2:29 pm
One loss and of course we need to fire everybody. We entered the game with a free agent rookie and a possession receiver that was signed just days before. What did you expect was going to happen with the only real threat on the outside being DHB? The Chargers simply stacked the box to stop McFadden and had no fear of the big passing play. That is what happens when injuries take away play makers and no amount of play calling was going to change that. Then you had the unfortunate concussion to Condo. No team has a backup snapper, that’s not just on Allen or the Special Teams coach, the reality is all teams have one guy they hope can step in. The defense tackled better then any game last year and even with Kelly’s flags the team still had far less penalites that they had in most games the last few years. So I’m not as worried about Allen, Knapp or the zone blocking scheme as I am about Barnes at RT, the lack of talent at CB and the lack of pass rushing ends. Barnes is mediocre at best and teams will just continue to put a pass rusher on the right side against him. Bartel and Spencer might not be a downgrade but they aren’t an upgrade either over last years starters and the talent behind them is even less. While Kelly and Seymour were disruptive all night Shaugnessy and Houston provided no pass rush. We need one of them to step up and I’m really worried that neither of them may have it. I know as fans we don’t want to face reality but the truth is it’s going to take McKenzie a couple of years to get the talent needed to truly challenge. The Old Man left a mess and it’s not going to get fixed overnight. What you hope is that Allen can learn on the job and create a foundation. You also hope that the team will compete, play smarter, improve as the season goes and possibly if all goes right compete for a playoff spot at the end.
September 11th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
Any team that fks up 3 punts and gives a short field isn’t going to win. Period. If Condo doesn’t get hurt, that game could have had a different ending. The defense held Rivera to 1 Td folks. And the was able to move the ball up until it became catch up time and Knapp decided Dmac was the only player we have.
Things will get better.

Giants lost by 7 and Green Bay lost by 8. Wonder if their fans want to blow up those teams, players, and coaches?
September 11th, 2012 at 2:33 pm
Just how disappointing was last night? We wait all fuk’in year for the team to start anew and all we get is a lame offensive plan poorly implemented. I was leery of Knapp when he was announced as rejoining the team. Now I’m sure he doesn’t have a clue. He taken what was pretty good last year and destroyed it. He’s taking our one big weapon and is misusing and abusing him badly. We HAD a great o-line coach in here last year and they’ve replaced him with a coach and system that has failed here before badly. We bring on a potential elite QB gunslinger and tell him he can only shoot a .22. Our ST, which were fairly good last year had the coach replaced with new blood that is inept. We can’t seem to run a ST play without it being screwed up. Right now this team is a disaster. Yes, I know it’s only been one game but I can see backwards when it presents itself. Knapp and this offensive group of coaches have gutted our offense. Not only is it bad, it’s BORING! What a waste of talent.
On a positive note, our D did look much better even with the questionable new players that are in there. Kudos to the DC. You can also give DA some credit on that too. After all, he is a D minded HC and it showed. Too bad he doesn’t know squat about offense. Leaving Knapp in charge of our Offense will be our undoing. Reggie better step in quickly on the O side of things and make some coaching changes. IMO, we will NEVER be successful with Knapp at the controls. He’s failed here before & he’ll fail again. He’s NEVER been a successful OC anywhere else so why do they think he can do it now? That’s just dumb thinking. They need to replace Knapp with Saunders and go back to what works with our current personnel – Power Blocking. It may be too late to save this team this year. Too bad for us the fans, rebuilding always sucks. It’s actually worse than just losing, it’s embarrassing.

Explain this to me. We were very shorthanded with our offensive weapons right?
We just signed one of the most dynamc fullbacks to an extension and he gets two touches. I know its only one game but come on.
Knowing that we are lacking playmakers, we just kept force feeding Darren when Reece is a very capable playmaker himself.
September 11th, 2012 at 2:41 pm
The entire transition of the offense was handled improperly.
The majority of our weapons on offense including the QB were drafted using the Al Davis, vertical, stretch the field, power scheme philosophy.
We do not have the player personnel to fully implement what Knapp is trying to do!
Saunders should have been made the OC with Knapp as HIS adviser, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!
Then Knapp’s plan could be slowly integrated over the next season or two as we acquire the best players to implement that scheme!
This entire thing was handled completely AZZ BACKWARDS from the start!!!

Completely agree JB. Our offense last night was boring with very slow developing plays.
Im not touting Hue as some offensive genius or the next Vince Lomardi, but his offenses have gone 9-3 vs the AFC West the last two years. Hue and Saunders seemed to dial up some good game plans against the division.
September 11th, 2012 at 3:16 pm
Is Krapp going to be fired or stripped of his play calling duties anytime soon ?
NO.
That does not mean that people who are calling for his dismissal NOW are trolls or are wrong for doing so.
Truthfully, it’s probably too late to salvage the season by firing Krapp now. Realistically, the Raids would have to scrap Krapp’s ENTIRE system, as the problem goes deeper than just Krappy’s horrific play calling. His playbook SUCKS. Could they transition to, install, and effectively run Saunder’s famously thick playbook with good results in a reasonable amount of time ? Very doubtful.
Probably worth a try, as the 2012 season is doomed with Krapp as OC anyway – but the Raids are pretty much screwed either way.
I don’t mind being branded a troll for calling for Krapp’s dismissal. I said he should have never been hired to begin with and warned that a Krapp-storm was approaching throughout the pre-season and before yesterday’s debacle.
The great AL DAVIS said it was better to be right than consistent.
On the issue of Krapp, I’ve been consistent and I’ll be proven to be right as well.
He stinks and needs to go.
Before the season started I predicted a 7-9 record for the Raids.
I was being optimistic.
Krapp’s probably going to get DMAC killed. The defense will probably wear down from being on the field all day. There will be injuries (they’re unavoidable). This could get very very ugly in a hurry.
It’s a shame too, because this squad really isn’t that bad.
Am I being way too negative ? Perhaps. Only time will tell. But I’m not going to sugar coat things or be falsely optimistic. This ‘troll’ takes his Raiders seriously.

September 11th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Positives:
Raiders DEF was best I’ve seen since the 80’s even with some spotty coverages here and there. Palmer threw accurate balls even tho he couldn’t step up on most throws. Hagan is a pros pro. MLB McClain played his best game. Huff tackled well.
September 11th, 2012 at 3:58 pm
DEMOTE that Gregg Krapp now, I really dont get what McKenzie was thinking in hiring this moron. DIDNT work out the first time around why would it work the second time around, SURE the first time there was Jawalrus Russell, but the offense was bad with him running the show. The problem with Knapp is that he doesnt know how to utilize other players into the mix, by the rate that DMAC is getting the ball , he will either get injured again or just worn down. They need to sign a veteran receiver that they can rely on, I like Hagan but he is not that explosive threat that we need at Receiver. AL Saunders should be running the Offense

Marks Hair, why do you even post on this site. All you do is complain. It’s fans like you that make it hard to defend being a Raider fan. When things go good (which is few a far between recently) you are waiting for them to go bad, just so you can say “I told you so.” Half the teams in the NFL are 0-1. Relax everyone. Chargers are a decent team, as are the Raiders. If the damn punting fiasco doesn’t happen last night, we’re in the game until the end. Did any of you really think we were going to come out and be dominant. Have some perspective, we simply ain’t that good. We ain’t that bad either. I hope to win, and I think we have the talent to be able to do it, but the issues Al Davis left this organization will take time to be remedied. What’s more important is for the Raider’s front office to make smart financial decisions to give us cap room and draft picks in the future. We will have to make do with what we have for now, which is not a very deep team. So basically, it took me a few hundred words to tell you, Marks Hair, to shut the HELL up bro.

September 11th, 2012 at 8:57 pm
If you listen to Coach Allen, he’s a displeased as any of us with Knapp. He says there going to get other running backs involved. I take that as, he’s stripping Knapp of his unfettered play calling power.
Perhaps the beginning of the end of Knapp.
