Raiders make it official _ Reece signs extension
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, September 11th, 2012 at 9:43 am in Oakland Raiders.
Fullback Marcel Reece has signed a contract extension to remain with the Raiders beyond the 2012 season, the club announced Tuesday.
Terms and length of the deal which was first reported by CBS Sports Monday were not disclosed.
Reece was a Pro Bowl alternate fullback in 2011 despite missing four games due to injury. He caught 27 passes for 310 yards and is the most versatile player at his position.
A wide receiver in college at Washington, Reece, 6-foot-2, 250 pounds, can go in motion or be split as a wide receiver, as he did on occasion in Oakland’s season-opening 22-14 loss to the San Diego Chargers.
Reece, who caught two passes for 24 yards against San Diego, was scheduled to make $540,000 this season. An exclusive rights free agent, Reece did not immediately sign his tender and missed some time in the offseason.
With no leverage, Reece eventually reported in the hopes the Raiders would bargain in good faith and work toward a new deal.

Look Fellas, The Saints Lost to the Freakin Washington Redskins..AT Home..On Opening Day….
The end of the world is not near.
Our longsnapper cost us the game along with that Complete Freakin Sh!Tfor Brains Tommy Kelly.
Were going to be ok.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Skins are going to be good this year. I must admit the rat called a brilliant game as well as the DCO. They got pressure on Brees. They have to get rid of Knapp..sooner rather than later..gonna be another wasted year. Have to adapt offense to talent strengths not force talent to system.
September 11th, 2012 at 9:47 am

September 11th, 2012 at 9:47 am
Wow.
Would rather have read “RAIDERS MAKE IT OFFICIAL; KNAPP FIRED” with a quote from Dennis Allen, “My bad.”
September 11th, 2012 at 9:47 am
I saw it all from only a few feet away, and it looks like 2-14 to me,..buckle up,..by the way 14-2 across the bay, and winning the Superbowl…Im real.

I hope Goethel gets to keep the backup long-snapping duties and then works is arse off and gets better….but it is pretty unlikely this will ever happen again, so his work will go unnoticed lol.
The ST coach should be fired for not having that guy ready.
September 11th, 2012 at 9:49 am
Sign him to an extension… GREAT.
Now how bout you use him.
September 11th, 2012 at 9:50 am
Saunders your getting a pay raise because your our new OC. Congrats!
September 11th, 2012 at 9:51 am
Welcome to Oakland’s newest bed and breakfast.
I’m your gracious host, Greg Knapp.
Over easy or scrambled sir?

Great line rom JerryMac. Many of the 61,896 fans grew frustrated with a Raiders passing offense that too often threw short of the first down stake, piling up completions and yards but not enough points
September 11th, 2012 at 9:52 am
No one else wants to see Palmer run the no huddle?
What do the Raiders have to lose? We have the right personnel.
September 11th, 2012 at 9:53 am
This was DA first game as a head coach on any level.
Mistakes will be made.
The offense was lacking it’s two best receivers and its second best player….Pryor.
September 11th, 2012 at 9:53 am
@3…pure poetry.
Did anyone else see Palmer shrug off Knapp??? It was a “Whatever pal, I ain’t listening” moment.

Why wasn’t Reece more involved?
2 catches?
DMAC had 13!
Brandon Meyer had 5!

I was not and I am not a fan of WCO or Knapp….but I don’t think a final grade is after 1 week.
Carson has to execute THIS offense or this is his last year.
The system is being imposed on the talent…not being adjusted. THat’s life.
As for Hue, perhaps if he kept his mouth shut and didn’ challenge the owners authority…he’d still be here. But heck, I don’t think he was all that great…lot’s of dry 2nd halves and UNFORGIVEABLE blowouts down the stretch.
Tell these MILLION DOLLAR PLAYERS to step the hell up and do their job!
September 11th, 2012 at 10:00 am
Anyone else see SD’s left guard moving early the whole game?
This includes Kelly’s second offsides and SD’s touchdown.
Then the Raiders should have a shot to run one more play at the end of the game after the punt but the refs did not allow it.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:01 am
Wouldn’t it have made a bit more sense to have the Center fill in for the long snapper rather than a LB? He snaps it back to the QB in shotgun formation all the time and knows a bit about the importance of velocity. Kind of seems like the Center’s job anyway.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:01 am
It was weird that Reece was barely used last night, no?

==================================
I am down and said so last night. teams that run the no-huddle have a greater since of urgency. Keeps the D off balance and that is the ticket for getting D Mac to bust one.
Palmer needs to keep shrugging of Knapp and get this O going
September 11th, 2012 at 10:01 am

Question, is GK the only OCO in the NFL on the sidelines?
===============================================
Dang Thec, every time I’m about to let up on the Krappster, someone brings up another reason to blast his sorry azz.
I don’t know if he’s the only one, but he’s one of the very few.
And I’ll tell you what – he’s got no fkng biz being on the sideline.
Heck, he’s got no fkng biz being the OC to begin with – but it’s ridiculous the way he stands there constantly looking over his play chart.
I swear he’s looking at his chart instead of watching what’s going on out there.
How many fking times do u need to look at that damned chart ?
Seriously, it should be MEMORIZED and known by heart by the time the game starts.
Looks like the doofus is looking through the list for a play that might work, instead of knowing what he wants to call and just sending the call in to CP.
Don’t even get me started on whether Krapp has installed a no-huddle at all. I DON’T THINK HE HAS.
FPOS.

After one game? No. Who would want to come work for a team where you get fired after one game? Give him time to improve. If he does, great! If not, we hand the playcalling over to Saunders/CP/Holz/whoever, and then show Knapp the door after the season. This is how SANE teams work.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:12 am
So Goethel says it tough snapping on the dirt. WFT. Why didn’t the special teams coach have him practice on dirt. Fire the special teams coach and Krapp too. Maybe Cable was right about Krapp.

I’ll stand alone on this. Greg Knapp should not be fired or demoted. Not after 1 week.
I believe that DA and Reggie are watching this closely.
The players have to execute.
If anyone is on the hot seat it should be DHB.
ABsolutely a non-factor and he’s supposed to be the beast man top receiver. Nothing but dropped passess and missed reads….sure he gives you the obligatory nice catch…problem its only 1.
He’s got to step up.
too many receivers not getting to the 3rd down marker.
fumbles and khalif barnes reminding people why he was cut from jacksonville.
offensive line has to attack. this zbs is supposed to attack..these guys got manhandled on the run.
DA and REggie have to start cutting players for dumb penalties….and I am serious about that…cutting them
September 11th, 2012 at 10:18 am

Didn’t realize Condo got hurt. That explains the crap we saw with our punt team. We were all wondering WTF was going on.

Shoot, firing Knapp ain’t good enough.
We already did that once, and like herpes, the fcker came back.

Something that guarantees he can’t return.

DMAC wasn’t used right, Reece, and DHB too. It was frustrating especially the play calling.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:20 am
#76 thank you. you can stay sir.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:20 am
Streeter – UFA – possession guy
Hagan – from the curb – possession guy
Criner – 5th round pick – possession guy
DHB – perennial underachiever – possession guy
Not a lot to work with going down the field like you all wanted to do. S.D keyed in DMAC and the TE was no where to be found.
If Ford and DMoore are goign to stay off the field, then the Raiders need to get someone else.
The Raiders have wasted generations waiting for players to heal
September 11th, 2012 at 10:21 am
Knapp has officially dumbed down Palmer to a check down QB. Couldn’t tell the difference between what I saw out there yesterday and what I saw early last year at the QB position.
Team announced that DMAC broke some sort of record for receptions as if it was a good thing. What a joke.

I know it is not DHB’s fault that he is making +$8M a year, but it would be nice to get a little somthing more for the buck we are paying him.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:26 am
Someone help me out. We all at the game thought the tackle on DMAC (I believe the play was a screen pass but not sure) was a horse collar. The tackle looked unnatural and illegal. You folks that saw it on TV care to comment?
September 11th, 2012 at 10:26 am
My watch list:
Khalif Barnes – He is a liability – false starts comin up next
Offensive Line Run Blocking – no holes or gaps
Tommy Kelly – sorry bro…penalties negate the good
Jacoby Ford – too much time in the tub -Schilens
Denarious Moore – too much time in the tub – Schilens
DHB – Is he a top tier guy or not

SnB Offense Defense Specialteams Says:
September 11th, 2012 at 10:20 am
Streeter – UFA – possession guy
Hagan – from the curb – possession guy
Criner – 5th round pick – possession guy
DHB – perennial underachiever – possession guy
Not a lot to work with going down the field like you all wanted to do. S.D keyed in DMAC and the TE was no where to be found.
If Ford and DMoore are goign to stay off the field, then the Raiders need to get someone else.
The Raiders have wasted generations waiting for players to heal
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
C’mon Man!!
Use what you have.
Get DHB and Reece more involved in the passing game. DMAC had 13 catches, but only managed 2+ yards per run (15). The defense was focused on him.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:26 am
the short curl routes got old by the 4thQ….screaming for a double move deep ball….it never came.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:26 am
Not that it would have mattered, but Raiders should have had one more play last night:

Carson Palmer needs to be able to execute this offense. Period.

32 of 46 for 297 yards and 1 TD

See…the org trying to tell us all the wonderful things they did and spin meaningless b.s stats to show that it is indeed a “NEW ERA OF EXCELLENCE”…”Look fans..we’ve got a cool stat here”. Bull fing Schytt.
I cringe seeing that banner “New Era of Excellence”. Means NOTHING. You WIN on the field or shut the hell up. Quit selling crap to the fans and telling us it’s cake.
“NEW ERA OF EXCELLENCE” brings you yet another humiliating, embarrassing circus of crap on national Tv..”oh..but look at this DMAC stat guys” “Don’t worry about the losses..cuz this is a New Era of Excellence”…buy tickets to home games that we never win..c’mon. “We are Excellent” if we say it enuff and plaster the logo on enuff websites maybe it’ll make you forget about the pathetic way we play on the field…Believe us..we are EXCELLENT”.

September 11th, 2012 at 10:33 am
add me to the fire Knapp list. This dink and dunk offense isn’t going to work. I will say one thing though, no one was missing Curry last nite, Burris didn’t look like a rookie out there, more like an unleashed pit bull blowing up the running game. Seem’s like our CB’s will be our weakness on D, too many QB we face will have career numbers unless we fix it and fast.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:34 am
Last season in the last game against SD, DHB had 9 catches, 130 yards, and 1 TD.
This season he had 3 catches for 43 yards and no TDs.

What I am saying is that Reggie and DA are going to stick with Knapp longer than they will with Palmer.
So Palmer has to FIND A WAY to make this work, which he will.
Let him get Moore back. Moore was his guy last year.
DHB…he’s never going to be more than just a guy. THe offense radiates from Carson, Moore and DMAC.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:35 am
DJ, I agree that it’s BS to promote such meaningless stats in a game like that, but to be honest, it’s nothing new. Al Davis’ Raiders did the same thing and spun things any way they could.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:35 am
On plus side, Raiders are a top 5 defense after week one. Ranked #5!
September 11th, 2012 at 10:35 am
Yeah, I’m sure Knapp had all those fumbles and dropped passes worked into his game plan. Not to mention TK’s 2 drive extending penalties and Condo’s concussion. When the WR downfield aren’t open you dump it off to McFadden. Or you take a sack. You really think any OC is going to be fired after one game?

Same with the 2 Streater drops???

September 11th, 2012 at 10:40 am
Palmer has already walked away from some huge dollars bcz he wasn’t happy.
If he’s forced to play Krapp’s offense, doesn’t feel comfortable doing so, and most importantly doesn’t put up points or wins – he will walk again.
Wouldn’t surprise me if BOTH, CP and Krapp, are gone after 2012.

APAs tough as Nick Sundberg is, he can’t keep snapping with one arm.
According to Mike Garofolo of USA Today, the Redskins are signing longtime Colts long snapper Justin Snow to replace Sundberg, who broke his arm Sunday but kept playing.
It’s unclear how long Sundberg will be out, or whether they’ll put him on injured reserve.
He suffered the injury in the first half but played on, giving him street cred as the baddest long snapper in the league (at least until one of the other midgets grows taller).
According to the Washington Post, the Redskins also worked out long snappers Lonie Paxton, Joe Zelenka and Matt Katula.

Wonder if Bo is still laboring under the delusion that Condo is useless?…and who the F is our special teams coach?…Not having a backup long snapper ready to at least snap the ball in the air?…As for Knapp; If he doesn’t take advantage of our speed by stretching the field when D. Moore gets back he should get his bus ticket…I give him one more game for having Moore and Ford out then add my name to the fire Knapp list if it’s more of the same in Miami.

132- nothing just childish gibberish.
LMAO-all we used to hear was just get the ball in McFadden’s hands by run or pass at least 30 times a game a we can’t lose.Well,that is exactly what Knapp did last night.Now the problem is the plays that got him the ball.It will always be something.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:51 am
Not being able to run the ball was the real beginning of the end here.Believe me,they really thought they were going to be able to run effectivly with Mcfadden.Unfortunatly Mcfadden never looked very good in zoneblocking,but will make a big play once in a while because of speed.we willnot be able to play catch up with this current group of receivers tightends includeing. No redzone threat what so ever on this squad except for Mcfadden and maybe DHB.Sighn Plaxico and intimidate somebody please.

Knapp is an idiot for calling that reverse on our own 30 yard line.
Where were the screens to DMC and Reece, where were some 9 routes, where were some stop and go routes and 20 yard comebacks??
Dennis,
If this team doesn’t beat a bad Miami team next week with Tannehill as the starter, this Raider team will be drafting in within the top 5 in next years draft.
I thought DA was supposed to reduce the penalties??
Davis and McK were overzealous by getting rid of Hue so quickly and starting all over….AGAIN.

******************
You don’t need the machine. I know I advocated replacing Jano (not Condo specifically). The reason ia they take a lot of cap space for what they are – bang for the buck. Would not mind resigning at going rate however. Key is when you replace a guy like Condo or Jano you do not replace them with the worst longsnapper or kicker possible. I have not even seen longsnapping that bad even in College. That is flawed logic. Obviously Goethel was not ready to long snap. That is on the ST Coach and to a lesser degree on Goethel and DA. I would sign a fire Hamilton petition that was inexcusable.

I can’t judge Knapp, yet. The haters point to what he’s done badly in the past; the non- haters, what he’s done well, and I’m giving him a total pass on his previous stint with the Raiders. I can only wait and see if he really is inflexible and dogmatic with his offensive scheme, ignoring the strengths and weaknesses of his personnel(I doubt it), or has maybe learned a thing or two as he has worked his way around the NFL and is picking Saunders brain and working with our strengths and weaknesses and just didn’t show us jack in the preseason(more likely). Time will tell.
September 11th, 2012 at 10:55 am
Why didn’t knapp stretch the field? Did Knapp forget about Reece? Did Knapp forget this was a div. game? So vanilla ice cream. What will the Raiders do next? What is going through Reggie’s mind? Where is Mark Davis?

Getting rid of Hues pulling, counter, and trap power running game was STUPID in favor of a heavy ZBS scheme.
Plus, McK didn’t want to pay to keep Bush which was a mistake!
Lets hope Saunders replaces Knapp soon with the play calling and Saunders brings back that power running game with more vertical passing and more of screen game that him and Hue ran so well last year.

Oh man, had a bunch of neighbors over and frineds last night at the Crib(most of them Donkey Fans) and you can imagine all the BS my wife and kids had to hear abou the game, what a mess!
The Good:
Defense looked great. Especially Romac, Wheeler, and Burris, guys were making plays!
No one seriusly got injured outside of Condo adn Bartell.
The Bad;
Where do we start? Letting go of Wimbley now doesnt look good as we had no pass rush. Did anyone else think ShoNasty would be so bad?
Knapp used Dmac WAY too much. Almost got the dude killed like 3x.
D Moore being in really opens this offense up. DHB is and will never live up to his draft status and he is not a #1.
No TE is going to hurt us.
Biggest issue is the playcalling. There was a reason Carson looked good vs SD, Detroit, and SD last year. He was in the right system. We need that no huddle too!
I know no one wants to hear about HUE, but whatever offense he had us run last year was the right one, not the WCO bs!!
we will still beat up on miami!!
September 11th, 2012 at 11:00 am
We have the same line we had last year
————————————————————
We have a new LG, C, and RG.

Good Morning/Afternoon Nation!!!
First off…F the dam OPD and the P Lot staff for f’ing up another opening ninght/day experience! Took 2 hours to get in yesterday…2 hours!!!
2nd of all…sorry to DMAC, and others because my phone was tweaking bad…received a bunch of VM’s but no missed calls, and I couldn’t call out!
(and then someone dropped a whole tray of meat)
After that, it was like the Keystone Cops out there for a bit! But, yes, in year’s past…that kind of game would have been more embarrassing!
I said it during the 3rd qtr that I could not believe that I wasted a day off…however, deep down, I would not give up a game day/night experience for anything!!!
With that said…GO RAIDERS (For Life and Beyond)!
September 11th, 2012 at 11:04 am
Sign Reece to extension and then we see how our OC Knapp doesn’t even know how to use him consistently and take advantage of mis matches.
What a turd Greg Knapp is. He is not a legit play caller in this league anymore fellas…period!
It won’t matter when Moore or Ford come back either. Knapp sucks!
Al Saunders should start calling the offensive plays ASAP, since he will do more power running, with trapping, pulling, counters, with some zone runs mixed in and more vertical explosive passing and more screens!

I was betting they’d use him in the slot.

It’s such a simple thing to line him up at FB, then motion him to the slot.
I’d even motion him into a TE spot to keep him inside against a S or LB.
That should be part of ou bas offense.

September 11th, 2012 at 11:05 am
Goldie and others blastng the checkdowns
Why all the check downs? The few times BSPN showed the downfield coverage (by the way BSPN sucks!!!! in how they covera a football game please quit talking about ancient history to impress us and please get guys that can objectively and honestly break down a game!) The problem that I saw the few times I can see it was the WR’s downfield were adeuately covered. DHB was doubled and they were able to cover Hagen and Streeter with single coverage for the most part. The TEs were almost left alone when they did not fall over themselves. If Palmer forced it and got intercepted we would have never heard the end of it!
Regarding Reece – he was holding back until a contract. I do not think he had a touch in the Preseason for instance. That is on RM and Reece not CP3 and Knapp. Altough I wanted Saunders for OC myself, I am starting to turn into a Knapp apologist because of all the stupid comments being made. Please remember our offense was inconsistent last year and disappeared at times. Especially late in games so please remember and be objective.
Knapp overused McFadden and should have forced the issues with the TEs more since no one was really even covering them. CP3 was not even throwing that way or they were not running routes until later in the game. He had some of his deepest completions late in the game to TEs. It would be nice to have a better TE right now if one is available.

Should have kept Hue around one more year with a REAL DC or have had Al Saunders call the plays this year and not hire Knapp to switch and screw up everything that was developed on offense the last two years.
Should have kept Fassel also as special teams coach!
September 11th, 2012 at 11:08 am
About 20 of Dmacs 34 yards was due to him being awesome, but he got caught at the line constantly. Blocking was horrible.
September 11th, 2012 at 11:08 am
Morning/afternoon peoples!
I don’t even feel like typing all the bull schit I witnessed last night at the game. It was horrible!
On a positive note……
McClain played the best game of his career (looks like he shed a few2)
Burris and Wheeler also played well.
Spencer looked good also.

In the interview that Thec posted, Carson put a pretty good explanation of what went wrong.
The Chargers were covering the deep play and they didn’t make the plays on the handful of times they went long.
The team moved the ball on offense, but mistakes, route running and dropped balls lost it.
Players have to execute. Need the tight end to come up bigger
September 11th, 2012 at 11:12 am
This is the new look Raiders. Get used to it. Reggie is looking for the elite QB and WR’s who stay healthy and catch the ball.
In this system which is the way the NFL is headed, RB’s are plug ins as well as O line men.
Spend your Offense money on WR and QB and TE. Its been plain as day this is the way Goodell is shaping the NFL.
Defense can be great but if Goodell wont let them lay the wood or harass WR’s or touch QB;s it wont do any good.
One more reason I never wanted Al to go and always rooted for him to stay in power. Now we are just another vanilla team, probaly floundering forever in the celler
Unless we get lucky and land a top ten QB to get us into the playoffs for the next ten years. The system will be ready for him to succeed in if we do get lucky

Reece was underused.
He should be used all over the place as a receiver and runner.
Knapp is an idiot.
They should be putting Pryor in a shotgun with Reece and DMC next to him and run a read option.

Defense WAS pretty stout. Phillys just threw perfect passes all game long. Offensive game plan was BUNK, and we can’t seem to just get IT together. We always look so unprepared and commentators can’t help but laugh. Dilfer and Berman went out of their way (I thought) to try and positively spin the Raiders play so far, but they ended up sharing chuckles after the half.
I was screaming at Streater to put 2 HANDS ON THE BALL, during that 1st drive……”BALL OUT”……GAWD DAMNIT! ! !

“In Reggie We Trust”. cmon..all Reggie’s backers followed him blindly. Yes madden and wolf recommended him. Ok maybe that good enough for some. But,What 1 personnel move was Reggie responsible for in GB that led to his greatness! I’m not impressed. He brought in big question marks in the secondary, They are not playmakers. bartell hasnt had an int since 2008 and spencer and him play so soft I doubt they even got their uniforms dirty. Reggie should have cut TK instead of getting rid of our 1 pass rusher. Rivers had so much time and when he dumped down underneath it wasnt bc of pressure it was bc his wide outs had so much space. Reggie tore apart our strength last year which was our Oline. The oline is so bad at protecting Palmer and is now a big weakness. Reggie than sat around during the preseason with knowing 2 out of our 3 best receivers would be out and brought in Hagen only which is such a reach. Then as a gm he allows his team not to have a back up snapper.
the hiring of Knapp is both DA AND REGGIE’S fault. Reggie doesnt get a pass. A new coach who has to hire a staff quickly doesnt have the time to fully understand every strength about last year. Reggie as a GM should have know our strength was power blocking, throwing the ball downfield and made sure DA brought in an off coordinator that could add value to an offense that was the primary reason we went 8-8 not 4-12 last year. Many of you feel our cap situation was out of control and reggie had nothing to work with. I disagree and reggie has only hurt us not helped us. Time will tell but Reggies lucky he let DA hire Knapp bc Knapp’s gonna be the one who gets all the heat(much of it justified) while In “Reggie we Trust” lives on.

I agree. However, that stuff should fall on coaching as well.
Knapp or WR coach or Palmer should telling/coaching WR’s/TE to get to the sticks before making cuts, especially in 3rd down situations.

“In Reggie We Trust”. cmon..all Reggie’s backers followed him blindly. Yes madden and wolf recommended him. Ok maybe that good enough for some. But,What 1 personnel move was Reggie responsible for in GB that led to his greatness! I’m not impressed. He brought in big question marks in the secondary, They are not playmakers. bartell hasnt had an int since 2008 and spencer and him play so soft I doubt they even got their uniforms dirty. Reggie should have cut TK instead of getting rid of our 1 pass rusher. Rivers had so much time and when he dumped down underneath it wasnt bc of pressure it was bc his wide outs had so much space. Reggie tore apart our strength last year which was our Oline. The oline is so bad at protecting Palmer and is now a big weakness. Reggie than sat around during the preseason with knowing 2 out of our 3 best receivers would be out and brought in Hagen only which is such a reach. Then as a gm he allows his team not to have a back up snapper.
the hiring of Knapp is both DA AND REGGIE’S fault. Reggie doesnt get a pass. A new coach who has to hire a staff quickly doesnt have the time to fully understand every strength about last year. Reggie as a GM should have know our strength was power blocking, throwing the ball downfield and made sure DA brought in an off coordinator that could add value to an offense that was the primary reason we went 8-8 not 4-12 last year. Many of you feel our cap situation was out of control and reggie had nothing to work with. I disagree and reggie has only hurt us not helped us. Time will tell but Reggies lucky he let DA hire Knapp bc Knapp’s gonna be the one who gets all the heat(much of it justified) while In “Reggie we Trust” lives on.
^^^^^^^^
Once Davis and McK fired Hue, everything was going to be an up hill battle for this team to take it to next level.
The strength of this team was the offense the last two years with Hue around.
By not keeping him or his offensive system and by bringing in a numb nut like Knapp to scrap the good system we had and go in a completely different direction was stubborn and stupid.
Al Saunders needs to start calling plays ASAP for this team to have an chance at being competitive this year.
Or this season will get ugly real quick.
Davis, McK and DA should have known not to mess with the strengths of the team on offense and just try to fix the weaknesses on defense.
September 11th, 2012 at 11:26 am
Someone has to say it how it is, because there seems to be a lot of raider myopia or good feel optimism.
1- Did we wait all ofseason for this BS new raider football?
2- Can this new raider team be even worse than previous losing teams?
3- RMAC hired Dennis Allen, who hired Knapp and that ST coach. This is scary to think that we have a coach who thinks highly of those 2 coordinators.

Goldie and others blastng the checkdowns
Why all the check downs? The few times BSPN showed the downfield coverage (by the way BSPN sucks!!!! in how they covera a football game please quit talking about ancient history to impress us and please get guys that can objectively and honestly break down a game!) The problem that I saw the few times I can see it was the WR’s downfield were adeuately covered. DHB was doubled and they were able to cover Hagen and Streeter with single coverage for the most part. The TEs were almost left alone when they did not fall over themselves. If Palmer forced it and got intercepted we would have never heard the end of it!
Regarding Reece – he was holding back until a contract. I do not think he had a touch in the Preseason for instance. That is on RM and Reece not CP3 and Knapp. Altough I wanted Saunders for OC myself, I am starting to turn into a Knapp apologist because of all the stupid comments being made. Please remember our offense was inconsistent last year and disappeared at times. Especially late in games so please remember and be objective.
Knapp overused McFadden and should have forced the issues with the TEs more since no one was really even covering them. CP3 was not even throwing that way or they were not running routes until later in the game. He had some of his deepest completions late in the game to TEs. It would be nice to have a better TE right now if one is available.
^^^^^^^^
Our offense was explosive for the most part and scored TD’s and was not predictable and was not a dink and dunk conservative no balls offense like this Knapp crap is.
***************************************************
I understand what you’re saying about the double teaming our WRs Dk007 but there are no excuses for Knapp not using our TEs or being creative with Reece. Reece is a dangerous weapon and Knapp didn’t use him properly.

We got lucky- it should have been 38-14.
Why wasn’t Goethel snapping on the sidelines whenever he was not on the field? Saw a couple times that he was standing there with his thumb up his @ss. McK & Allen should be chewing Hoffman & Burns to pieces right now. And when SD starting keying up to 3 players at a time on McFadden, throw it to Reese on the other side. And where was all the blitzing that we kept hearing about? Rivers had time for a freaking boat drink or two back there.

September 11th, 2012 at 11:36 am
I don’t like what Palmer said in this interview.
He’s saying the reason we didn’t do much on offense is becuz SD played deep and didn’t wanna give up the big play etc.
So does that mean when a defense actually game plans against you that you are then helpless? “Well they did this and that, therfore we couldn’t do much”. That’s what it sounded like. Welcome to the NFL. Guess what? Teams are not gonna just play along with what u want to do offensively so u can score pts. on them. You have to expect teams will try to take away what u want to do. Palmer sounds like he’s “blaming” SD for the gall of taking away what Raiders hoped to do and “oh well..hope Miami let’s us do whatever we want”.

Maybe we can find us a long snapper off the streets that’s hungry and wants to win. The Redskins long snapper Nick Sundberg played in the second half with a broken arm….snapping the ball four times for punts, twice for field goals. We can find someone.

Doesn’t fix this pathetic offense and if Palmer just sheepishly goes along with Knapp and this “play not to lose and run 3 yd. pass plays even when there’s 3 mins. left and you’re down 16 pts.” offense…then we are doomed.
September 11th, 2012 at 11:45 am
you cant win many games without playmakers on D. the turnover battle is one you must win. When you have a questionable secondary like ours and Reggie cut Wimbley our only pass rusher. What hope can you have in creating turnovers. Reggie brought in Bartells who hasnt had an int since 2008 and spencer who in 9 years his max ints were 4. Our Dline will be ok against the run but the lack of pressure on the QB combined with Reggie’s secondary is a recipe for a frustrating season.

I want on #43 petition to fire Knapp. I agree with Just Win Baby as to why the regular center was not used to do the long snaps, especially after the disaster from Goethel. Has anyone noticed in preseason how our young front D line guys had put pressure on the QB without the presence of TK and Seymore. I was against bringing back both TK and Seymore. We could have saved 7.5 million on Seymore and don’t know how much on TK. This money saved could have gotten us some quality players like a decent running back, TE, and maybe CB Tracy Porter. No excuse for Seymore not getting in and sacking Rivers when SD had a rookie LT. For 15 million, I do not see Seymore putting in any effort, he is just collecting a check, what do you guys think?

I’ll I will say is no team in the NFL will win with four turnovers against the San Diego Chargers.
September 11th, 2012 at 11:54 am
streater made a rookie mistake don’t see him making again. but the taiwan fumble and kelly’s penalties were inexcusable. marcel didn’t make it any easier for him with the toss and mcfadden has a td if reece puts a hat on someone

I don’t like what Palmer said in this interview.
He’s saying the reason we didn’t do much on offense is becuz SD played deep and didn’t wanna give up the big play etc.
*************************
CP3 was being polite. Everytime I could see coverages the recievers were not open! We need a true #1 Reciever that can beat a double team and free up DHB into single coverage. It would also be nice to have a TE that is viewed as a reasonable threat. You can not just give it to DMC and hope for the best – I do blame Knapp for that.
I get that your frustrated but simply bringing in Saunders is not going to cure this. Finally it is not like we were the NE Patriots last year on offense. We were above average but by no means elite and inconsistent to boot.
As for some of these posts??? Some are so stupid I am thinking of not coming on here anymore. Some of them must just be trolling they are so dumb (aka Oakforshow) Take this quote for instance: “The quick and logical fix of firing Knapp and substituting in Al Saunders will never be taken, as will firing of the malingerers Moore and Ford will never be considered.” So we fire an overachieving 5th round pick just coming off an injury or you “fire” a guy that single handlingly beat a couple of teams in the last couple of years with awesome catches and special team returns. Those two would not even get by Indy on waivers!!! Yea that will fix it. I am sorry, fire your self as a poster.

Ok, looks like no one will watch the games anymore!
Our org is too stupid to see what us fans see!
We continue to be the dumbest organization, despite Big Al (RIP) leaving us!
Knapp sucks (yes, I agree)
And Palmer will never be a WCO QB (again, I agree)
but come on guys…
As of right now…none of this, im my opinion is Reggie’s fault! Well, except letting DA hire KNapp…
Reggie did have his hands tied…not much he could have done in year one offseason starpped for cash and out of wack contracts!
September 11th, 2012 at 11:58 am
Damn, you guys are brutal. It’s either perfection or hit the road. I personally have NO problems with they way the game was called on offense. Palmer pushed the ball down the field when he had time and got the ball in to our best playmakers hands as often as possible.
We lost. 0-1. 1 game out of 1st place.
Oh, and RaidersOne is a first class Dbag!
September 11th, 2012 at 11:58 am
lotta ppl on knapp but the botched punts, the taiwan 25 yard loss, the kelly penalties giving them first downs and the streater fumble? I say let’s see knapps o when cp has a bailout/deep threat in moore

What is wrong with respecting talent and organizational capability in the 49′ers and Broncos that have transformed their organizations almost miraculously in a very short time period?
We should study it carefully, use the information, as any capable manager would.
Go spin your records dude, and continue to act like a blind fool; accept losing, accept a wasting of your time and loyalty by idiots, and accept the taking of your money on a flawed product for the past 28 yrs.

Yes, an intelligent post. Someone needs to get in Kelly’s face and someone needs to work with Reece on doing more than just being a reicever from the RB position. Streater is playing his first pro game – do not expect him to bust the SD secondary. However Kelly and Reece should have those things handled as well as Jones.

DMac’s probably soaking his entire body in ice right now; poor kid took a beating last night. Knapp should at the very least be held accountable for using him in lieu of Reece or Goodson or even Schmitt in the 2nd half.

How is it and why is it that teams such as the Broncos can completely transform from 3rd tier losers to top flight contenders in less than 6 months??
The reason is, those orgs have staff and personnel who know the game on a professional level.
For the past 10 yrs the Raiders have lacked such personnel and are still lacking such personnel.
The Raiders failed on the most basic levels. So many posters here claimed Knapp was a bad choice and a loser: they were correct. Many of the same posters claimed the Raiders should have continued where they left off on offense last yr, while seeking to narrow and improve it. Instead, they said we allowed a loser, Knapp, to come in with a new offense, blocking schemes, and playbook.
Those posters were correct.
Why Reggie and Mark Davis didn’t understand the obvious, see what was right before their eyes, I’ll never know.
We will have our azzes handed to us by Miami on Sunday, as the fins have done now for many yrs, inexplicably. We will definitely lose to the Steelers, who will grind us up like cheap meat. We’ll then be 0/3 and again be out of contention.
The quick and logical fix of firing Knapp and substituting in Al Saunders will never be taken, as will firing of the malingerers Moore and Ford will never be considered.
All in all, the taint of AD lingers.
In other words, we can’t do anything right.

couldn’t have said it better!
^^^^^^^^^
Yep!
How us fans knew that McK and DA should not mess with the strength of the team on offense (which they did and hired a bum Knapp to scrap what we had going for two years and start from scratch for no reason)
Davis, McK and then now DA should have known better than to mess and try and fix what was not broken.

When he got rid of Hue and the entire offensive staff and Fassel. It was start all over mode.
Then Big Wiz resigned or was let go during camp.
Big Wiz must have wanted more power blocking and running and Knapp and Pollack told DA and that was it.

This is exactly right. So knowing this, you have to go to your Pro Bowl Tight End. Oh right, we don’t have one. Who do we have out there lining up on offense? Oh, right, not much….
September 11th, 2012 at 12:06 pm
All McK needed to do was keep Hue and Fassel around and just work with Hue to hire and competent defensive staff and work on the cap.
Instead, Davis and McK decide to start all over completely when it wasn’t necessary.
It’s going be another long season.
I see more blackouts happening also.
Ugh.

it took 59 minutes for the raiders to score a TD… and it was on a prevent D by the chargers…
wake up people and know that Knapp alone is the culprit for his weak running game and dink and dunking BS…

Been a long time reader of this blog going back five or six years now. But felt I had to comment after last nights game.
I hate to keep beating a dead horse but if you remember, before Hue we were terrible against the AFC West. I dont even know the infamous record we had from 2003 thru 2009.
As soon as Hue took over our offense we were 9-3 against our AFC west foes. Cant ignore those facts. I will take that over a two period against our division rivals any day.
Last night looked like the team from 2007. Sad sad day my nation brothers. 1 step forward 3 steps back.

was on the ledge but if we correct the mistakes….
biggest ? CP= looked great
another ? lb’s= best i’ve seen em play in years
another ? cb’s= not too shabby v Rivers
another ? TE= at least for a day Myers did enough
bad is no edge rusher don’t c it changing

Letting Wimbley go was whos decision? not having a back up snapper on the roster has nothing to do with a gm? Having an undrafted rookie WR start when you knew for a month your top 2 out of 3 WRs would be out with good quality vet WRs sitting out there has to fall on the GM. The cap is such an excuse, he could have cut TK or Seymour and saved enough money to bring in playmakers at the CB and WR position. not to mention his 3rd round draft choice doesnt look good either. . These are his responsibilities and he gets a pass? wait till dmac gets hurt and your watching tawain jones fumble twice a game and then youll be giving reggie a pass for lack of depth at the rb position too.

I have never been sold on Taiwan, personally. He’s injury prone in general and had the major blunder last night. We need a bruising back so that DMC can survive, make it happen Reg!
September 11th, 2012 at 12:11 pm
FWIW, I am sad and angry that we lost last night. I’m not thrilled with our inability to establish the run with this cut blocking, not happy with the reverse play that lost mega yards and killed our momentum, and not happy with the dink and stink passing game.
BUT, I am happy with how our defense played against the run. I am happy that outside of Kelly’s two bonehead penalties we mostly played smart football. I thought Streater and Burris played great for rookies and Hagan came in and contributed right away. Palmer looked sharp most of the game, even though he didn’t have all his playmakers available.
I’d like to see better coverage from our secondary, especially quicker adjustments when Rivers was hitting so much underneath stuff or the quick outs. We didn’t pressure Rivers consistently as much as I expected we would, but we did get to see glimpses of what our pass rush is capable of doing and got some solid pressures and hits on him.
I’d also like to see some serious adjustments to our play calling and blocking. For all of Hue’s faults, the thing he did best was ask the players what plays they liked best and make them take ownership of those plays. McFadden is our star and we need to run the plays suited to his strengths.
I am not going to go down the doom and gloom road. This was one game and we have plenty more (currently) to get it together.

Watch TK’s second offside at 35 seconds, you can see the LG drop his should and the LDT jump because that’s in his line of site.
Even at SD’s touchdown he flinches at 1:15

But last night, I could not help myself thinking how we would do against that SD defense with our scheme from last year.
Like someone mentioned a few weeks ago, that no huddle game plan against SD on Thursday night was pure fire!!
We were fast, throwing the deep ball, keeping em off balance with well timed screens, and power running plays with pulling guards.
That was raider offensive football at its finest. And that is what our personnel dicates we should run. Now we are stuck with this square peg round hole offense that no one fits.

September 11th, 2012 at 12:35 pm
A few here wanted HUE Jax let go because of his so call attitude. Hue Jax prove himself worthy for 2 straight yrs. by turning a lackadaisical offense around into a productive one. Mark Davis chose to trade Hue in for some pillow talking newbies. Yes, that upset me and I thought that would upset many more Raider fan than it did. You know why? Talk is cheap and in comparison if norv Turner had a job to come back to so should Hue.
Okay, you say give Reggie and DA a fair shake. I will tell now, I will give them a fair shot at making it work but it will be a bit hard for me to do it. DA choice for OC make it difficult. First, the scheme did not fit the Raider players skillset. you know the 1 cut and run, precise route running receivers, better than avg. tightend, and a mobile QB. DA being tagged as a well organized coach with attention to detail did not think this one through with good foresight.
Rushing from line for scrimmage has been a nightmare all preseason until now. What will Mr. attention to detail do about that? Are the Raiders now a passing team first? and if so where is the middle of the field threat? So many questions and I hope Reggie,DA,Knapp find the answers.

how soon we forget…everyone was all over hue and to get his azz out of here..now u want him back over one game?????….ok..well our defense played the best ive seen in years and DA hired our dc right?…..knapp was hired cause he manipulated REG and DA in having them believe he can run the offense the way houston ran theres..(ill take houstons offense anyday…they have a great rb just like we do..except they have an elite wr and a good te)..cant blame DA for our lack of depth…hue was going to take us nowhere..if u all are happy with an 8-8 record every year…so be it..id rather go this route and go 8-8 this year knowing there will only be an improvent from here on end…what is with everyone saying we are still undisciplined?…we only had 6 penalties…im used to 10 to 12 on average…an improvement already…the draft picks reg made so far look pretty good..the fa’s he brought in made a difference as well….easy guys..the team is starting to look like it should be..a team on the rise..u want superbowl this year…ur being delusional….aint gonna happen..by the end of the year the league will take notice that the raiders are on the way up…reggie mak was a great hire and u guys will see it soon..patience…he’s a smart guy who came from an organization that built its winning team over time..not over night…thats they way ur supposed to run a team….we dont have the players yet…..just remember..if reggie mack was the one who traded for palmer u would call for his azz….how soon u forget it was hue that made that move….remember?????????????….wake up

You don’t read my posts obviously and that’s fine. If u did you’d see I have been almost over the top in my criticism of the team since last night’s debacle.
IMO saying “WE” is suugesting you’re “one of us” as in Raider fan.
I have never heard a true Raider fan say “Go Niners and “Go Denver”. Maybe you’re one of those ‘well I like the Raiders..but I like the niners and Denver more’ type of fans. That’s fine, it’s your life, but coming on here saying “we” is b.s. “WE” is the Raider fans..NOT Denver of SF.
What you call “radical” (go niners, go denver) most would call betrayal..that’s IF you were really a Raider fan. You just don’t say that schytt.
Go wear your niners jersey and your denver hat and have fun with it.
You can’t be all things to all people…that’s makes u a bullschytt frontrunner.
