Condo: Two tests down, two to go
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, September 14th, 2012 at 1:08 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Raiders long-snapper Jon Condo said following practice Friday he’s halfway home in terms of being cleared to play against the Miami Dolphins.
Condo will fly to Miami with the club shortly, as well practice squad long-snapper Nick Guess. If Condo isn’t cleared, Guess will be activated and make his NFL debut, with Jacoby Ford possibly being moved to the injured reserve list.
Condo said he felt “pretty good” while going through warmups with his teammates.
“It’s like four tests and I’ve passed two of them so far,” Condo said. “It’s a process. I’m making the trip and that’s really all I know.”
The injury occurred when Condo took a knee to the back of the head from teammate Brandon Myers following a punt.
“I saw the knee to the back of the head and then my face going into the dirt,” Condo said. “I don’t know what one it was that got me.”
Condo felt particularly bad for linebacker Travis Goethel, who was pressed into emergency service, with his three snaps leading to nine San Diego points.
“I mean, it’s just something you don’t want to see it all,” Condo said. “It was tough. I have the most respect for Travis going in there in that situation. It happened, you can’t go back and change. Just learn from it and go on to the next game.”
– Stefen Wisniewski will start at center against Miami, coach Dennis Allen confirmed.
“He’s back healthy and he executed this week in practice,” Allen said. “So I think he’s prepared and ready to go.”
Wisniewski wanted to play against San Diego but in retrospect can see sitting him in favor of Alex Parsons was the correct call.
“I’d missed three weeks of practice so I missed a lot of reps,” Wisniewski said. “Getting those reps back helps you mentally and physically and just feel sharp and confident in there.”
– Raiders injury report: WR Jacoby Ford (foot-out), CB Ron Bartell (shoulder-out), WR Juron Criner (ankle-questionable), C-G Alex Parsons (shoulder-questionable), RB Taiwan Jones (ribs-questionable), LB Rolando McClain (ankle-questionable), C Jon Condo (concussion-questionable), TE David Ausberry (shoulder-probable), K Sebastian Janikowski (left groin-probable), S Michael Mitchell (ribs-probable), WR Denarius Moore (hamstring-probable), TE Brandon Myers (shoulder-probable), DT Richard Seymour (knee-probable)
Bartell said his absence is estimated between “four to six weeks, although I hope it’s less.”
– If Jones can’t return kickoffs, Allen said the duty would fall to running back Mike Goodson.

this is why they signed JC, his reputation for cleaning up the locker room and being a leader is without question, and he skilled and steady and doent make the crucial errors that cutler does. His legacy was bolsterd by what he did for our terrible raider team, leading the off season camp, coaxing professionalism and performance from struggling players dmac and dhb. most of all providing back bone for a rudderless, group of gutless outlaws and making them into respected winners with a feared offense
===========================
JC? being a leader is without question?

If Luck and that coaching staff over there start getting Brazill and Hilton more involved, they have a chance to be a lot more explosive than folks think….but enough non-Raider talk out of me for the day! 3 comments is too many! I never feel guilty about bs-ing on my work to run it about the Raiders, but I will feel a lil like I’m getting over on my job if I start wasting time running it about the Colts and Skins! Lol
Looking forward to seeing D.Moore out there this Sunday…will be a HUGE lift for our O….He at least puts some creativity in our deep passing play calls and makes the back 4 respect the entire field whereas we all know DHB if he’s going deep is still on a 9 route…

honestly i felt luck is a very good prospect and I would certainly take him on this team in a heart beat, but compared to RGIII I just felt that it wasnt close.
There are plenty of guys that can do what luck does, there is no one that does what rgIII can and i saw that as the reason he would be the best.
That being said I wont go so far as saying the colts screwed up by taking luk ahaed of rgIII, i ma not feel he is as good, but he is still very good in his own right. There were 2 qbs deserving and worthy of the number 1 spot this year

Seriously, does it make guys feel better to call it a rebuild cuz it eases the pain of losing? Or..is it becuz if we get to the playoffs some credit might go to Al Davis?
Please explain how it’s a “rebuild” when MOST all the roster from last yr. is still here? And…the players that are gone (Wimbley, Bush) are ones the GM said himself he would have preferred still be here.
Tell yourself it’s a rebuild if it makes you feel better… to lose that it IS a rebuild,despite all evidence that it isn’t.
And despite the fact the GM himself said it is NOT.
No..”it’s a rebuild that’s all”.
I guess it makes guys feel better telling themselves that.
Don’t worry. If we DO win (yes it looks doubtful but all the same) Al Davis will derive no pleasure from it. So that should make u feel better right there.

Saying after one game that Luck isn’t all that, and is actually 3rd, makes you to be the fool.
What were the chances you rate the white qb, behind two black qb’s?
100%?
And when both black qb’s don’t perform?
What white guy will you blame?

Everybody that says it’s a rebuild will not make any legitimate case why, and what makes it so.
If every team that makes a few roster moves is in “rebuild” mode than EVRYONE is “rebuilding”.
As far as the org goes and what they are doing at Alameda offices is concerned..and organizationally…yes..it’s obvious they are “rebuilding” that.
The roster has not been rebuilt by any means.

Calling a draft pick after 1 game in the first season, is like determining a fight after 10 seconds of the first round.
Like Duck said, that draft won’t have a “Winner” for about 5 years.
For all we know, all 4 QB’s could stink, and Morris Claiborne could be the best player in the draft.

I think you know by now I am not a homer. I call it as I see it, sometimes good, often times lately very bad. Well, I just sent in to The Herald my pick for Sunday.
I’m picking the Dolphins to win.
If my prediction comes true the Dolphins would reach .500 for the first time since Oct. 2010.
Why do I think the Dolphins will beat the Raiders?
I see potential in this defense to do good things. They need to tighten up the secondary. They need to turn the pass-rush up a notch. But I think that can happen, at least to a small degree, with the personnel currently on the team.
So I don’t see Carson Palmer and his inconsistent receivers carving up the Miami defense. Darrius Heyward-Bey is a nice player but I don’t see Andre Johnson on the Raiders.
The Raiders’ best player is Darren McFadden. But he’s running behind an inconsistent offensive line and I like Miami’s chances of slowing the Oakland charge. Plus the Raiders don’t have a better-than-average tight end so the thing that always bites this defense probably won’t this week.
Don’t get me wrong. I see a low-scoring, tight, tense game.
I don’t see the Dolphins offense moving the football up and down the field on the Oakland defense. But that defense is just undisciplined enough as to do some damage to itself and open the door for rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill and company.
Remember, Sunday won’t offer just a homefield advantage for the Dolphins, it offers a major time advantage and schedule advantage for Miami.
The Raiders, who will travel 28,692 air miles this season, more than any team, will be getting on a plane and traveling five hours, losing three hours and settling in unfamiliar surroundings the day before the game.
On game day, the Raiders will be kicking off at what their body clock tells them is 10 a.m.
And then there is the weather advantage the Dolphins should enjoy, in that it is very humid in South Florida while Oakland is not nearly as taxing on a body.
For all these reasons I’m picking the Dolphins.

im calling it a rebuild because there is a new gm a new head coach and new schemes on offense and defense.
many hold over players are proving or disproving that they can fit in, the roster will continue to be tuned over in the off season to accommodate the new schemes.
That is what you call a rebuild, the roster was spared somewhat because of our salary cap and lack of draft picks but dont fool yourself

I think everbody that knows football would say that the Redskins have the better all around team, no doubt RG3 has a ton of talent and the sky is the limit. The Colts are in full blown rebuild mode and they don’t have the team that RG3 has with the Redskins.
Its going to take a whole lot more than one game or even one season to say who is the better QB, but I have a feeling they both will be very good and it will never be easy to choose which one is better, kinda like the Manning/Brady argument from a few years ago

People were quick to jump on the “We fleeced the Patriots” in the Seymour trade, after about 1 game.
I told everyone to wait 3-4 years AT LEAST to determine who won that trade.
I STILL don’t think it can determined just yet.
September 14th, 2012 at 1:59 pm
I agree for several reasons. Lets also remember the Raiders played on Monday night, so they lose time to prepare for the Dolphins there as well as the lost time for the flight.
The Raiders are one of the worst NFL teams, right there with the Dolphins. I see a close one also , but the Dolphins should win this one. Lets look at it this way, this is one of the few good chances they will have to win this year. If they blow this one, we may very well be looking at 0-16 and the first pick in the draft.

35,
Well. somebody needs to tell Reggie that cuz he says publicly it is not.
So when Chicago dropped the Tampa 2 and went more of the cover 2 THAT was a rebuild? It’s a change of scheme?
And when Martz left (along with his gadget plays and “weird” offense) THAT was a rebuild?
So when a team changes schemes, yet keeps virtually the entire roster intact, THAT’S a rebuild?

================
i know why you would want it to mean that the offense was dumbed down, but that wont save you from your foolish prediction or habit of dismissing players based on hearsay and sight unseen, like you tried to do with rgIII.
i did read the article and speaks to how the qb had multiple reads and options on every play, and based on what the defense was doing RGIII was free to call the play he wanted, use the option he wanted after his pre snap and post snap reads.
There is nothing about a rookie running his own show that can be called “dumbed down”.
My point was that adding to a play book isnt augments an offense, it does not “dumb down” the offense. also the way the scheme is designed could be also implemented here with pryor

You know what would be ironic this Sunday, if Moore comes back, and because of that, Knapp decides to go airborne the whole game, not using McFadden in the run, and we end up with Palmer throwing 3 ints.
Since last week he rode McFadden to the ground, and didn’t bother to develop a good deep passing gameplan.
Even so, I say,

35,
Well. somebody needs to tell Reggie that cuz he says publicly it is not.
So when Chicago dropped the Tampa 2 and went more of the cover 2 THAT was a rebuild? It’s a change of scheme?
And when Martz left (along with his gadget plays and “weird” offense) THAT was a rebuild?
So when a team changes schemes, yet keeps virtually the entire roster intact, THAT’S a rebuild?
=======================
you are glossing over the key factor new head coach new gm, not just new scheme.
of course big mck isnt going to call it a rebuild publicly at the start of the year. he needs to sell tickcets and fans wont pay to watch losing football, as evidenced by our blackout issue over so many years.

this is why they signed JC, his reputation for cleaning up the locker room and being a leader is without question,
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
LOL.
A good guy no doubt, but an average quarterback, and really not much of a leader.
================
you may point to numbers and say he is “average” but why try to discredit his leadership?
All you have to do is look at the team before he arrived and what happened after he earned and secured the gig until he was injured.
the offense improved drastically, the team won in spite of the wretched defense, and players that struggled like dhb, put in extra work at jc’s home and became a solid contributor and our best wr.
The off season camp he put on during the lock out helped this team come out of the gate quickly and take the lead in the division.
Now compare that to what has happened since he was injured. The team completely came off the rails, turn overs, finger pointing, tantrums, and locker rooom mutiny beset the franchise, and to this point has not come close to what we did at 6-2.
In fact this year we are already off on the wrong foot, with the qb having shouting hissy fits with receivers and coaches on route to another monday night national embarrassment.
you may not like his game, but there is no question to his leadership, he was the glue and back bone of the team.
last years 6-2 team with with dhb dmac jc and hu jack was the best football we have seen since our super bowl run. Its ok to admit that

Now its time to take a look at some of the most exciting qb’s in the pipeline coming up through the college ranks my qb watch list. my ghguys are tearing it up so far this year. there are a couple of new guys that have caught my eye and will be worth watching over the next few years as well.
1. sr EJ manual: 27 / 35349 yds 77.1cmp% 9.97 ypa 61 lng 4td 1 int 92.9 qb rating
rushing 5 att 38 yds 7.6 ypc
2.) soph terrence owens: 36/63 434yds 57.1cmp% 6.89ypa 59lng 5 td 0 int 141.2 qb rating
rushing: 20 att 93 yds 4.7 ypc 13lng
3.) jr Logan thomas: 36/61 442 yds 59.0cmp% 7.25 ypa 42lng 4td 0int 141.5 qb rating
4.)sr geno smith: 32/36 323 yds 88.9cmp% 8.97ypa 52lng 4td 0int 200.9 qb rating
rushing: 8 att 65 yda 8.1 ypc 28 lng 1td
(geno smith is the best pure passer in the draft and unlike what some morons have tried to sell us on he is a very athletic runner as well)
5.)soph teddy bridgewater: 49/60 576yds 81.7cmp% 9.60ypa 55lng 2td 0int 173.3 qb rating
6.) soph braxton miller: 32/48 362yds 66.7cmp% 7.54ypa 44lng 3td 1int 146.5 qb rating
rushing: 44 att 302 yds 6.9ypc 65lng 4td
7.) fr brett hundly: 42/61 507yds 68.9cmp% 8.31ypa 49lng 6td 1 int 167.8 qb rating
rushing: 19 att 121 yds 6.4 ypc 72 lng 1td
all of these guys are dual threat qbs that can throw the ball well. If you notice the completion percentages and ratings on some of these guys it is like video game numbers.
Even though a couple of the guys on this list dont have huge rushing stats, it is only because they are so good at passing that they rarely run other than to escape pressure and throw the ball. Much like the geno smith thing, they feel they need to prove that they can throw so they hesitate to run. Dont let that fool you these guys can run too. Hint watch them play

I liked JC. If he hadn’t gotten hurt we would have made the playoffs
He just never learned how to execute a Quarterback slide at an NFL quality level.
As a result he got hurt for the season, the Raiders had to move on. He didn’t wanna stay to compete for the starting job so he left and went to Chicago and ended up being the backup over there.
So in hindsight, he should have stayed with the Raiders. That was his bad.

No biggie if Condo doesn’t play this week. Nick Guess is a professional long-snapper. The accuracy might not be quite as good, but at least our punt snaps won’t resemble rocks skipped across a pond.

Raiders 19-9
September 14th, 2012 at 3:27 pm
Top-five prospects for the 2013 NFL Draft
*Indicates underclassman
1. DT Kaleb Ramsey (6-3, 302)
With All-American linebacker Luke Kuechly opting for the NFL a year early, Ramsey (pictured above) is expected to be the senior leader of the Eagles’ defense in 2012. Last year Ramsey was pegged by head coach Frank Spaziani as a player ready to make “tremendous strides,” but his 2011 season was cut short due to a left foot injury he suffered in the first quarter of the season opener. The senior missed the rest of last season, earning a medical redshirt, and is expected to be healthy for the 2012 campaign. Ramsey is a load to handle off the snap, but doesn’t always rush the pocket with a plan and needs to play smarter with better instincts. He moves well for a 300-plus pounder, but too easily allows himself to get tied up with single blockers. If he can stay healthy this season and keep his nose clean (suspended for a game in 2010 for violation of team rules), Ramsey has the skill-set and natural size to earn a draft pick on day three next April.
2. OLB Kevin Pierre-Louis (6-1, 215)*
With Kuechly donning a Carolina Panthers uniform in 2012, the Eagles have a monumental void to fill at linebacker. And while it would be near impossible to replace his production, Pierre-Louis will be expected to take over Kuechly’s leadership role in 2012. Entering his third season at weakside linebacker, Pierre-Louis started 12 games in 2010 and was a Freshman All-American with 93 total stops. He finished his sophomore year second on the team in tackles (74) despite missing three games due injury. The junior lacks prototypical size and strength, but is rangy with the chase speed and lateral quickness to be productive against the run and pass. He also needs to prove he has the durability for the next level, staying physical while avoiding injuries. Above all, Pierre-Louis needs to prove he can be productive without Kuechly eating up ballcarriers in the middle of the field. No one can (or will be expected to) replace Kuechly, but Pierre-Louis is a name to remember.
3. TE Chris Pantale (6-6, 255)
The top offensive player on the list, Pantale isn’t a household name, but he might be the most talented tight end in the ACC. After 25 catches as a freshman and 31 grabs as a sophomore, Pantale’s statistics declined with only 21 receptions, 236 yards and three scores last year as a junior. But the blame for his dip in production can be linked to the Eagles’ struggles on offense, ranking 112th in the nation in total offense and scoring. Recruited as a defensive end/tight end out of high school, Pantale spurned offers from Michigan and Florida to enroll at Boston College. He is still a work-in-progress as a blocker, missing too many assignments in the run game, but he is a good-sized pass catcher with the movement skills and reliable hands to be a legitimate NFL prospect. Scouts would like to see Pantale double his 2011 production as a senior, but he’ll need help from the offensive players around him in order for that to happen.
4. OT Emmett Cleary (6-7, 300)
The Boston College program is known for producing tough, hard-nosed offensive linemen, and Cleary could be the next NFL-quality blocker out of Chestnut Hill. In fact, he was so intrigued by “O-line U” as a high school recruit that the Illinois-product chose the Eagles over several Big Ten programs. Cleary isn’t the most physically-gifted big man, but he offers intriuging size (6-7, 300) and enough mobility to handle speed rushers off the edge. However, Cleary’s most appealing attribute to NFL scouts might be his versatility, seeing time at both tackle and guard in college. Over his first three seasons, he started 26 games for Boston College (18 at right tackle and eight at left guard), but moved to left tackle in the spring and is expected to protect QB Chase Rettig’s blindside in 2012. Cleary is far from a guarantee to be drafted, but with a strong senior season he has the pedigree to earn a late round selection.
5. OLB Steele Divitto (6-3, 225)*
Besides being a candidate for the best name in college football, Divitto has emerged as one of the leaders of this football team. Despite living in Connecticut growing up, he commuted over an hour each way to attend high school powerhouse Don Bosco Prep in New Jersey, a testament to Divitto’s love for the game of football. After he served as a backup true freshman for the Eagles, Divitto became a starter as a sophomore in 2011 and had the unenviable task of replacing Mark Herzlich at strong-side linebacker, finishing third on the team with 72 tackles. He returns for his junior year in 2012 and, like teammate Kevin Pierre-Louis, pro scouts will be anxious to see how he performs without the benefit of Luke Kuechly playing next to him. Divitto has the intelligence, strength and competitive drive, but will need to prove he has the foot quickness and fluidity before he’s regarded as a top-flight NFL prospect.

September 14th, 2012 at 3:30 pm
Northwestern
Top-five prospects for the 2013 NFL Draft
*Indicates underclassman
1. OG Brian Mulroe (6-4, 295)
Entering his third year as a starting guard for the Wildcats, Mulroe returns as one of the most experienced members of the Northwestern offense. He proved to be the rock of the team’s offensive line last season, earning All-Conference Honorable Mention honors. Mulroe was a three-star offensive line recruit out of high school and committed soon after receiving his scholarship offer from Northwestern. He redshirted in 2008 and missed most of his freshman season with an injury. Mulroe became a full-time starter in 2010 as a sophomore and has started 26 straight contests over the past two years, at both left and right guard. He will be expected to be the anchor of the line again in 2012 as one of the top interior linemen in the conference. Mulroe has good lateral quickness with the mobility to get out in space and block at the second level, but can be too much of a waist-bender at times and needs to keep his butt close to the ground. He blocks with a mean streak and tenacious attitude, delivering a blow off the snap and playing with heavy hands. Mulroe has enough athleticism and tools to warrant a late round draft pick, but needs to clean up his technique and be more consistent.
2. WR Kyle Prater (6-5, 215)*
It’s tough to accurately evaluate a prospect for the next level when he has only one career catch, but Prater has obvious talent and will be an intriuging player to watch moving forward. He was considered the No. 1 wide receiver recruit out of high school in Illinois and received a scholarship offer from just about every program in the nation, choosing Southern Cal. After redshirting in 2010, Prater battled injuries and saw action in 10 games last season, registering just one reception. He was granted his release from the Trojans and moved closer to home, enrolling in Evanston. He recently received a residence waiver from the NCAA allowing him to play in 2012 and not sit out the usually required one season. Prater has already received rave reviews from the Wildcats’ coaching staff and should see extensive action this season, especially as the team tries to replace the loss of their top two receivers from 2011. Prater is a tall, lean target with good length to extend and snatch the ball away from his frame, showing big hands and the focus to reel-in tough catches. He comes with some durability concerns, missing chunks of the past two seasons with various minor injuries and needs to prove he can stay healthy. Only a redshirt sophomore with a blank college résumé, Prater is barely a blip on the draft radar, but he is a player NFL scouts will keep an eye on this season.
3. S Ibraheim Campbell (5-11, 205)*
Another young up-and-comer on the Northwestern roster, Campbell (pictured above) is only a redshirt sophomore, but if one year is any indication, he is in for a productive career in Evansville. Lining up at safety last season, he led the team in tackles and earned Freshman All-American honors by the FWAA. Campbell was recruited as a running back out of high school in Pennsylvania and chose the Wildcats over offers from Stanford, Michigan State and Boston College. After redshirting in 2010, he moved to defense and earned a starting safety job last fall (12 starts) and led the team in tackles (100, ninth in the Big Ten), adding 3.5 tackles for loss and a pair of interceptions. Despite his youth, Campbell quickly established himself as one of the leaders of the Northwestern defense and is the only returning starter to the secondary from a year ago. He has average size, but hits like a truck with quick reaction skills, reading his keys and making snap decisions with natural football awareness. With expectations now on his shoulders, Campbell will try and avoid a sophomore slump this season, but his future as a pro prospect looks promising.
4. OT Patrick Ward (6-7, 310)
A two-time starter at right tackle, Ward is expected to move to the left side in 2012 as a senior, a position he hasn’t played before at Northwestern. He is also best known as the player that received the cheap shot by Illinois Jonathan Brown last season that resulted in a suspension for the Illini linebacker. Ward was a top-30 offensive tackle recruit out of Illinois and passed up offers from Notre Dame, Stanford and Illinois to sign with the Wildcats. He was mostly used a reserve true freshman in 2009, seeing time in 12 games at both tackle and guard. Ward earned the starting right tackle job as a sophomore and started there every game the past two seasons (26 starts). With Al Netter graduating, Northwestern has a void at left tackle in 2012, a hole that the coaching staff is hoping Ward can fill. He has a large frame with average length and has been lauded for his intelligence both on and off the football field. Ward has good snap anticipation and get-off quickness, but needs to clean up his footwork and body positioning in his initial kickslide. He will need a big senior year to turn himself into a draftable prospect, but the move to the left side will give him every opportunity to show the NFL what he brings to the table.
5. OLB David Nwabuisi (6-1, 240)
After finishing third on the team in tackles last season in his first year as a starter, Nwabuisi returns as one of the defensive veterans of a young Northwestern offense. Recently named to the pre-season watch list for the Butkus Award (nation’s top linebacker), he is arguably the Wildcats’ best defensive player. Nwabuisi was recruited more as an athlete out of high school with most schools viewing him as a fullback, picking the Wildcats over Arizona State and Air Force. After redshirting in 2008, he spent his freshman and sophomore seasons mostly as a reserve and on special teams, earning one start. Nwabuisi became a full-time starter at strongside linebacker last season, finishing with 84 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, 1.0 sack and two forced fumbles. Known as a speedy athlete, Nwabuisi is a rangy player with the foot quickness and fluidity to cover a large area. He has streaky instincts and doesn’t always trust what he sees, taking too many false steps and struggling to disengage blocks. Nwabuisi produced respectable numbers as a first-year starter, but it’s his senior performance this season that will determine whether or not he will be considered draftable next April.

No I didn’t actually say that originally–see the posts above that.

Riff.
“Im calm Bob. I just have never once heard you have a wrong take on here til now. You, twocents, YougAmerican, and Chris from NY are normally 100% right. So forgive me for getting frustrated when I see one of the more respected semi’s completely miss the boat on this one.”
- First of all, I’ve had plenty of wrong takes over the years!.
But seriously, I don’t think we “completely missed the boat on this one”.
It’s one thing to concede the long-snapping issue was a huge factor, probably the biggest when you consider the Coaching Staff did NOTHING about it, bu that’s called bad coaching my fiend.
And I don’t mean not having a back-up plan for Condo coming out of the game, I mean not adjusting protection schemes accordingly when you just lost the guy who calls them, what where they thinking?.
- I’m also talking about getting a delay of game penalty when facing a 3rd and 10 at SD’s 11 yard line.
- I’m also talking about the first 3rd quarter drive where we were facing a 1st and 5 at our own 49 yard line and we could not convert on 3 downs, then deciding to go for it and getting called for having 12 men on the field, bringing up the Punt unit and watching the debacle start.
- I’m also talking about the second drive in the 3rd quarter, where we were facing a 2nd down and 3 and could not convert.
- I’m also talking about our 3rd drive in the third quarter where actually lost 3 yards after McFaden got tackled behind the LOS on first down and 2 short incompletions to McFaden followed.
We lost the game right there because the offense stalled and failed to convert and we could not punt.
—————–
The lack of adjustments after we lost Condo in the punting game were definitely a coaching blunder. You are right there. But the damage was already done.
And just becasue they screwed that up, doesnt mean Knapp had a crappy gameplan like so many here want to believe.
All those other coach issues you said are minor compared to the HUGE mistakes our players made. Our coaches should not be taking the heat here. Im not nit-picking. This was big mistakes by our players that swung things 19 points, not little stuff that cost us one or two conversions.
You list every conversion as if Knapp was supposed to run the plays himself and never not convert a 3rd down. You are stretching things and looking for the slightest reason to blame the staff.
Knap is an easy guy to hate. He just looks like a twerp. I think that is playing a factor here. Not with you personally, but in general. That may be a reach, but Im running out of reasons to understand why otherwise reasonable people want so desperately to pile on this guy.
I really wish I could sit and watch the game with you and we could go over it in person. When you watch then endzone film, its not hard to break down every single play.

Raider Riff took me to task for saying “While Reece could have given Jones a better feed, Jones definitely took his eyes off the ball.”
So I went back and watched the replay.
After further review….I have reversed my decision.
It is not clear that Jones took his eyes off the ball and I happily place all the blame on Reece.
———-
My “taking you to task” wasnt meant to be personal. I apologize if it came off that way. There was a lot of frustration boiling over. Your one of my favorite semis twocents.
It takes a real intelligent person to come back here, admit you went and checked the replay, and were wrong.
Were all wrong once in a while. We’re only stupid when were too stubborn to admit it.
September 14th, 2012 at 3:41 pm
It’s not a rebuild year. Those of you saying that arent right. It’s a year to see what we can do with what we have, and Reggie thinks we can go far.
If we do, we keep our talent around because they will give a hometown discount to stick with a winner.
If we tank, then we’re looking at a fire sale this offseason because that is when the real cap issues will hit us. We thought losing Boss and Wimbley was rough? It’ll be a lot worse if we dont have a good year.
Guest123, you still here? I got some more stuff I want to talk to you about regarding Mark Davis and your concerns.

If Smith plays the way he did in week 1 for the rest of the season, he’ll go #2 overall at the absolute latest. Crazy upside and has all the intangibles. Consistency is the only thing standing in his way at this point.

At this point, I don’t think it’s so much a reflection on Pryor as doing their due diligence, considering it’s a young season and no one can know what position the Raiders are going to be in at the end of it.
But also, it’s not like Pryor has looked so lights-out that they wouldn’t consider a prospect like Geno Smith if he is indeed the best player on the board when the Raiders are picking.

Ain’t that the damn truth. Of all the so called house cleaning that went on, losing Bush was the number one thing that could/will hurt the Raiders. Some of the house cleaning moves had to be done I suppose, but the 1-2 punch of Dmac/Bush was what I was so looking forward to.

This is semantics, most new regimes are taking over for a failed predecessor, and are somewhat hamstrung as to what they can do. In other words the new guys get stuck with guys they cant move or readily replace. a rebuild isnt usually done in one year. the first year you are usually saddled with hold overs as we are. those hold overs that couldnt be moved or readily replaced have an opportunity but almost by default.
new owner, new gm, new coach, new schemes on both sides of the ball, totally over hauled starting defense.

so funny how every one wanted to attribute last years early success to dmac and give him all of the credit. Those same folks said that if he was in the line up we would have been wining down the stretch.
hmmm
dmac played monday and had more touches than anybody, the defense played better than at any point last year and we lost.
I guess the whole palmer and dmac super duo thing is not quite the unbeatable Juggernaut that jerry mcdonald and so many of these posters said it would be.
And that is even with palmer turning in his best game as a raider.

As I said, you have to see what kind of players you have. you can watch tape all day everyday, and think you know players around the league, but until you are there with them, you have no idea. That is one thing that most NFL guys will say when they move to a new franchise. “I never knew so and so was such a perfectionist, or that competitive or…whatever it is…

Then you have several smaller 6′1-6′2-6′3 mobile types. james franklin tahj boyd keith price arron murray and teddy bridge water.

But again, you have to have some downfield options for Palmer otherwise Dmac would be keyed which is exactly what happened. And Those downfield options certainly did not emerge last Monday night.

I guess we will have to give some credit for last years early 6-2 record to people besides just dmac
September 14th, 2012 at 4:31 pm
It’s like a sewing circle in here.
September 14th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Don’t know if it’s accurate to say the Raids intended on 2012 being a ‘rebuild’ year.
But I do know that Greg Knapp guarantees we’ll be looking to rebuild the offense in 2013.
September 14th, 2012 at 4:34 pm
palmer will need to spread the ball around much better vs the dolphins. he also needs to target dhb about 7-8 times.
I cant believe that he was so fixated on streater, and dmac. mean while reece dhb ausberry and myers were relegated to little more than glorified cheer leaders
September 14th, 2012 at 4:34 pm
Hey, I’ve got an idea.
Let’s rebuild around Greg Knapp !

Having Greg Knapp patrolling the sideline, constantly staring down at his masterful list of brilliant plays and then radioing in his awesome play call is something every Raider fan eagerly looks forward to.
September 14th, 2012 at 4:41 pm
When you think of successful, innovative, high powered, offensive juggernauts – Greg Knapp and his scoring machines should be first in your mind.

Gregry Knapp.
That’s his new name.
No O.
September 14th, 2012 at 4:43 pm
knapp needs to help palmer out a bit too, and be more creative with formations and pre snap motions. this may take some of the sting out of the fact that there is virtually no boot leg in what is supposed to be a boot leg heavy scheme
September 14th, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Just like street ball, Mystic. The kids who drop the ball don’t get the ball thrown back to them. The kid that catches the ball keeps getting the ball thrown to him. That’s why Palmer’s trying to hit Streater and DMac.
September 14th, 2012 at 4:45 pm
Gregry Knapp – soon to be doing commercials for Sominex.
September 14th, 2012 at 4:47 pm
No talk of how good our defense did, just talk about the offense struggling. Glass is half empty for some people, I guess.

==========
not quite
dhb was being doubled because the other wr’s got zero respect. The defnse said beat us with your rookies and they came up small
Palmer saw the ghost of pass rush past a few times too and pulled the checkdown a bit too soon.
Myers reece and ausberry dont have a history of dropping the ball
palmer just needs to do a better job spreading the ball.
This fixation on 2 targets also may be a result of palmer still not being up to speed on where everyone is supposed to be on every play.

so funny how every one wanted to attribute last years early success to dmac and give him all of the credit. Those same folks said that if he was in the line up we would have been wining down the stretch.
hmmm
dmac played monday and had more touches than anybody, the defense played better than at any point last year and we lost.
I guess the whole palmer and dmac super duo thing is not quite the unbeatable Juggernaut that jerry mcdonald and so many of these posters said it would be.
And that is even with palmer turning in his best game as a raider.
very interesting indeed
————-
Not sure about that. Dmac was derailed because of the scheme. ZBS, what kinda bs is that? A power blocking system for a power runner.
San Diego, pure and simple, shut down Knapps scheme and made it look silly. We got nothin.
Palmer and Dmac, with Moore, are gonna carry this team. But their hands are tied, and they are being fed a scheme that is not for them. I think the schit will hit the fan, and we’ll see before to long Palmer and co. go vertical big time, and Dmac power running thru holes and behind power blocking.

September 14th, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Well, no billboard yet. Looks like Knapp’s job is still safe. He should open the offense up a little more, but I get what he and the Raiders’ new staff is doing. High percentage playcalling and scheming, aggressive play by the players. Sort of the Green Bay way, which makes sense because that’s where our GM is from. I’m willing to give to give it time. Way too early to condemn. But it’s sunk in with a lot of fans that Al’s system is gone and it’s not coming back, and they’re not taking it well. That’s understandable.

this off season will tell us a lot
September 14th, 2012 at 5:12 pm
Why cant coaches get creative and come up with their own schemes that fit the personel. We gotta copy green bay. Really? I’m afraid we might feel about this years OC the same way we felt about last years DC. Always a damn fly in the ointment.

offenses are so highly specialized that it is unlikely that coaches change philosophy to fit players, unless the philosophy change can be easily married to their root scheme.

I agree, but when your system cant put up points, much less rack up big yards on running plays, you have to admit it sucks ass big time.
The wco depends on YACs, and defenses over the years have adapted to it. Walsh and Montana got away with it cause it was relatively new, or the way they ran it.
If knapp could mix it up or expand it or something. We just look butt ugly awful monday night. Dmac was keyed all night long. It didnt/doesnt work.

i agree with you, in the fact that our wco is the tired stale 1990’s version of the offense. I do think this is a result of having a qb that is stiff as a board.
I personally love the way the wco is used in washington blended with spread and triple option. we could do that with pryor

does knapp script his first 15 plays like walsh/ gruden/ reid?

It’s the NFL, 95% of the league is on a one-year tryout.
The minute Peyton frkn Manning had a surgery and missed a season, they didn’t give him a chance to come back.
About the only people in the NFL not on a one-year tryout are Pro Bowl level QB’s, maybe a dozen or so defensive players, and 1st and 2nd round picks from the 2012 draft.

About the only people in the NFL not on a one-year tryout are Pro Bowl level QB’s, maybe a dozen or so defensive players, and 1st and 2nd round picks from the 2012 draft.

Everybody that says it’s a rebuild will not make any legitimate case why, and what makes it so.
If every team that makes a few roster moves is in “rebuild” mode than EVRYONE is “rebuilding”.
As far as the org goes and what they are doing at Alameda offices is concerned..and organizationally…yes..it’s obvious they are “rebuilding” that.
The roster has not been rebuilt by any means.
************************************************
New GM, head coach and coaching staff, new offensive scheme, new defensive scheme and 5 starters gone.

Why cant we just improve on an 8-8 team and build from that, instead of tearing it down. It just doesnt make any sense. If it worked, like the offense did, work with it and coach it up. If it failed, like the D did, kick some ass and make it better, which they did. But to tear down the offense, when really all that was missing was Dmac, is just plain stupid. WCO/ZBS? Really? SMFH

How about because we were 8-8 in 2010 already, and they had a chance to improve and failed?
Or because they had a chance to win a home game to make the playoffs and prove they didn’t need to rebuild, and got throttled?

This isn’t a “rebuild” but we weren’t close to anything the last two years either.

We need to be able to beat MIA by more than a TD. I know many just want a win but if we cant defeat a rookie QB and a young D for the most part there is something seriously wrong with this team and talks of playoffs should stop because a playoff team can handle MIA pretty easily as shown by Texans.

I guess things like that are lost on you though. BTW, when you are defending Knapp, feel free to include his accomplishments in life, besides getting his last 2 coaches sent to college football.

so funny how every one wanted to attribute last years early success to dmac and give him all of the credit. Those same folks said that if he was in the line up we would have been wining down the stretch.
hmmm
dmac played monday and had more touches than anybody, the defense played better than at any point last year and we lost.
I guess the whole palmer and dmac super duo thing is not quite the unbeatable Juggernaut that jerry mcdonald and so many of these posters said it would be.
And that is even with palmer turning in his best game as a raider.
very interesting indeed
===========================================
Oh, come on. New regime, new OC, new system. Get over yourself. You know damn well we were basing that on what we saw last year.
DMAC couldn’t run for sh1t in Knapp’s ZBS. Hopefully it is not a sign of the times and I expect it to improve but you’re comparing apples with oranges. If Hue was still here, we’d know definitively.

for 10 and 6, they have to sweep KC and upset at least Pittsburgh, Atlanta and/or Baltimore. Judging from monday’s performance, I dont see that happening. But its still week one.
Its depth. They simply dont have it. – they didnt have a no. 1 corner in the first place. You go cheap in the offseason to offset expensive free agents, but you have no draft picks, and a GM unfamiliar with the divisional matchups you need that depth to play against.
Looking like one of those years – injuries hit hard early. Its gut check time.

Remember Hue coming into 2011 talking about switching BACK to a power-blocking scheme? That’s because Cable was implementing his ZBS in 2010.
The facts are right in front of you. Maybe Knapp is doing a shatty job teaching it, I can at least here that debate.
But 2010, we ran ZBS, we had a ZBS HC, a ZBS O-line coach, and tons of video highlights showing ZBS runs.

September 14th, 2012 at 8:36 pm
Here you go. First highlight, clear PA ZBS stretch play.
Darren’s long run, clear ZBS run. Watch Satele run and immediately dive at the LB’s legs. D-Mac’s makes the one cut and go.

Remember, before Hue came over to us, he was the QB coach for the Ravens…..who run a VERY strict ZBS system.
All that build a bully, switch back to a power scheme stuff, was just smoke he was blowing up “Coaches” azz.
When Hue gets another OC gig, I think he will coach at college first, expect him to implement a ZBS system.
I’ll take any wagers on it.
September 14th, 2012 at 8:54 pm
The Reggie comes from Green Bay, where they won a Super Bowl and have one of the best offenses, playing probably THE strictest ZBS system.
We are running ZBS until Mark fires him or he dies.

Exactly my point.
So why does everyone come in with the general blanket statement “ZBS sucks”?
It doesn’t, every team uses it, because it is mostly effective.
As The Reggie said in his interview, defensive players “hate playing against it”.

Raiders are crappy: Reggie is supposed to hire someone to devise a new scheme, not a copy-cat. I doubt Green Bay will exactly light the league on fire this year, so forget about copying them.
Watch SF and Denver, and you’ll know what is new and what will win Superbowls.
It’s all talk anyway.
Let’s see what happens with the Fins. I am not predicting much except keystone kops v. 3 stooges.
Wake up Reggie.

One of the simplest reasons many teams have incorporated zone blocking in their offenses is that zone blocking rules do not change based on the defensive front. In a “man block” system, blockers are paired with defenders according to certain rules to create a running lane. If the defensive front changes, or if the defense stunts or blitzes, the blocking rules may change. This requires learning multiple rules for the same play. Zone blocking uses very consistent rules that do not change according to the defensive front.
Some teams base their entire offense on it, including the NFL’s Washington Redskins, Indianapolis Colts, Oakland Raiders, Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers.

September 14th, 2012 at 10:00 pm
Don’t feel good about this game. Knapp will be under to much pressure to prove the beauty of his offensive cordinatorship and he will crap under the pressure. Soiled and stained skivvies is all we are going to get out of this game I’m afraid. But we got to hold on to what we’ve got cause we support the team. Just do it.
September 14th, 2012 at 10:02 pm
Let me get this straight: people on here are saying Reggie needs to do what exactly? Fire Dennis Allen? Make DA fire Knapp? Make DA run a different scheme?
Ridiculous. Give it time. You don’t fire people after one game.
September 14th, 2012 at 10:04 pm

*******************************
Sounds like an Al Davis style of football. You don’t change no matter what the opposition is doing, just like his defense.
Maybe that’s why Al hired 2 ZBS coaches (Kiffin/Cable) of his last 3 hires?
September 14th, 2012 at 10:11 pm
However, while Zone blocking may sound like the obvious best choice, there are some caveats to using it. First off, your linemen still have to know what they’re doing. A confused offensive lineman, even in a simple scheme, is still an ineffective offensive lineman.
Second, many coaches will tell you that a Zone blocking offensive lineman must have some athletic ability, as zone footwork can involve intricate “bucket steps” and blocking very athletic defensive players on the move.
Third, because of the use of things like bucket steps (where the offensive lineman will quickly take a couple of steps back or horizontally to get his body in better position before he really gets into his block), many coaches feel that zone blocking rules must be adjusted or replaced in short yardage situations, otherwise their linemen will get blown up at the line.

Reggie won’t fire Knapp EVER.
That decision will be made by the HC, and only the HC. And more than likely, the only way the OC goes is if the whole staff goes.

“I’m tired of people saying that I’m power hungry, that I’m a blowhard, that I’m saying all the wrong things. I never said I wanted to be the general manager. I said I wanted input. What coach wouldn’t want some input in the direction of the organization?

Part of the reason why no quality head coaches wanted to come here was because of Al’s itchy trigger finger. DA’s not going anywhere. Neither is Reggie. Mark has a plan and unless his mother dies (which would probably force him to sell), he’s going to see it through.

–Running back Darren McFadden struggled during his first two years as he was affected by injuries. At the time, the Raiders were exclusively a zone blocking team, adding more gap and power schemes when Hue Jackson arrived as offensive coordinator in 2009.
Jackson immediately went to McFadden to inquire about the plays he liked best and zone runs weren’t necessarily at the top of the list. The Raiders return to a zone scheme this year.
September 14th, 2012 at 10:59 pm
However, McFadden did have some decent games as a zone runner — a 164-yard game against the Chiefs as a rookie — and he feels the wasn’t scheme as it much as it was sense of self.
“I feel like once you’re playing with confidence, you can go out there and run the ball in any offense,” McFadden said. “I don’t feel what we’re doing this year, going from a power scheme to a zone-blocking scheme, is going to make any difference. For the most part that was our offense in college, one cut and go.”

I like the ZBS if you have the right back to run with it. Remember Terrell Davis? Or pretty much any other RB Shanahan put in there during his tenure. If done right, it’s great. See Houston Texans.

Thank you RaidO. This is for all Hue Bashers here is some reality for you. With Hue on board we are easily 1-0 and about to go crush Mia instead its Knapptime and we’re praying for a W against a rookie QB. Hate to keep crying over spilled milk but it is very frustrating to see our O look the way it did Mon from the direction Hue had us heading. Seems like were gonna waste Dmacs career as we all know Rbs have very short shelf lifes in the NFL.

Raiders long-snapper Jon Condo went through warmups and drills with teammates and was wearing a helmet Friday, but there was no word on if he has been cleared to play.
Condo later adjourned to the far field along with practice squad snapper Nick Guess. Guess was outside of the end zone, snapping for accuracy against the goal post standard _ and hitting it with regularity. Condo was giving pointers and advice.

I told you before, I’m not sold on the 26 yo rookie OG who was inactive the first game of the season. That’s our 1st pick (3rd round) in the 2012 draft. He is not ready to be a backup.
The only guy that has impressed me is Tarver.
-Reggie: doing good for a rookie GM, but I think he made a few mistakes (drafting the 26 YO rookie OG, allowing DA to hire Knapp, and not signing better CBs and a speedy pass rusher).
-DA: I like the guy, but he has to do something about TK. Get this team more prepared to play (a backup LS who doesn’t practice LS during the week?!?!). Why did he hire Knapp?
-Knapp: God help us.
-Tarver: doing well so far, and the only one on the staff that impressed me.
-Hoffman: Monkey
September 15th, 2012 at 7:16 am

It’s my understandig that Baltimore made the ZBS their primary blocking scheme in 2011 when they promoted Andy Moeller, before him there was John Matsko who was never known for running the ZBS, that’s why Baltimore used to have big, strong maulers in the OL in recent years.

At this point I don’t have any expectations. I expected our offense to be the strength of the team, but this wasn’t the case against SD. I think it’s going to be a close low scoring game (16-13 Raiders).

JFB.
Back to Baltimore, I like what they’re doing too, besides implementing more ZBS they’re often going no huddle now and taking the reins out of Flacco, it’s paying off.
Manning destroyed Pitt once he went no-huddle, Baltimore put up 40 on a usually above average Cincy D, we should be working on a no-huddle ourselves, we have a QB who can thrive operating it, get the run game going and go no-huddle on a few series every game.

That Burris is a starter from first game of season, his NFL career as a 4th round draft pick; while proving to be a quality starter proves that Reggie is the right man to be GM for the Raiders.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!
I had Burris in my Mock draft, so that proves I should be a scout/ GM in the NFL?!

I cant make a prediction as to what I think will happen.
I just know what happens if we show up to play, we put up 30-40 points and they put up 3-10.
If we continue to drop passes and turn the ball over, I say we win close.
I dont think we’ll see Kelly do the same stupid stuff. I expect DA to have laid into him this week and if he tries it just once, he will get pulled. In fact, if its close late and they are driving, I will be all over DA if he has Kelly in the game.
I dont think Barnes will be a liability because I dont expect us to be down big where we are in a pass only situation.
I expect Sho-Nasty to show up. If he does, they dont score over 10 points.
They have a very good defense apparently. But we have a ton of talent on offense. Once again, we should dictate and pick them apart. They should be the ones trying to make adjustments, not us. And if they make the adjustments, CP3 is supposed to be of the caliber to adjust as well and counter. If we dont make stupid mistakes, I expect our offense to put up very good numbers.

That motto has been around for awhile. But the motto should be “There Is Always Room For Improvement, So Don’t Be A Knucklehead To The Team When We Are Trying To Improve, Especially On Game Day, Cuz Every Game Is Important, Especially Every Game”
But you will see a angry Raider team on Sunday against the Phins. Raiders will avenge the MNF embarassment. They will make up for the humiliation. They will wake up and smell the grass (or turf). They will rise from the pain of the blunder against the thunder. Oh it will be a great day for Raider fans. Yes Sir.

The knapp signing wasn’t so hot. Letting Bush go reeked too.
But most certainly agree with your list. Hagan could be up there too before long. And hanging on to the punter Marq King was brilliant.

September 15th, 2012 at 8:41 am
Wheeler was a awesome move
Burris was a great draft pick
Streater was as well
Keeping King was wise
Bringing back Hagan righted one of the big-time wrongs of last season by the beloved HueJax.
So far, I like what Reggie has done. He kept our talent intact. The rebuild this year was with the staff and front office. Time will tell if he decides we have to rebuild our talent pool, the cap may make that decision for him.
DA…..
I would have preferred we kept our offense scheme. But this one looks fine. Half of what made our last scheme so effective was Hue’s in-game playcalling, not so much the scheme itself IMO.
DA still hasnt fixed our penalty issue. 6 penalties of our own doing is too many. When the real refs come back, with their bias’, were on pace to be right at our usual 10-12 penalties a game mark.
Other than that, Im ok with DA right now.
September 15th, 2012 at 8:49 am
King will be our punter next season.
September 15th, 2012 at 8:50 am

Knapp is Allen’s choice. Reggie gave his head coach the freedom, responsibility, and the authority to choose his entire coaching staff, whether he agreed with the hirings or not.
This puts the Raiders in great position for future hirings. Should Dennis turnout to be a winner, great hire. If not, McKenzie has put us in position to hire Cowher, Johnson, Chucky.
September 15th, 2012 at 8:53 am
I expect Knapp’s offense to continue to struggle. Very few running yards, 2 Palmer picks once Raids fall behind.
Fins 23 Raids 6
Hope I’m wrong.

I think King will be our punter next season as well.

———–
Agreed. On the surface, I think DA looks to be a good hire.
But man, if we could get Chucky back, I’d take it.
Even though Im of the belief that Chucky needed Al as much as Al needed Chucky. They were made for each other. Chucky is the only coach we should have had the last decade.
I have an article somewhere where some former players said that in private, Chucky contacted Al about coming back and Al said no. I think Chucky would still love to come back and get the Coliseum rocking again.
Unfortunately, by then, Mark might already move us to LA.
One thing many people dont know about Al, is that while his heart was with the Raiders 100% of the time, he also had other stuff on the brain. He owned or “managed” a lot of what you see in Oakland. Vast amounts of property. These alternate sources of income allowed him to be so maverick with his ownership of the Raiders. Im afraid there is no way Mark has the capacity to run Al’s other endeavors the way Al did. Al was “connected” in more ways than one. He was a special person and to try and be that is a unfair burden on Mark.
The easy fix for Mark is to take us to LA. If he’s never be able to manage the other holdings the way Al did, then he wont have much of a choice.

———————–
I dont know who is saying what.
But I do know that towards the end, when we started having really good drafts again, the scouts were doctoring up the reports for Al. We all know Al wanted “athletes” that could be coached. The scouts started acting very bravely and rigging the results to make certain “football players” look more like athletes and certain “athletes” to have less measurables than they actually had. In reality, it was treason, a coup if you will, but it worked.
Til his death Al refused to having anything done with computers. All scouting reports had to be hand written and delivered to him. He was paranoid of hacking and other teams stealing his secrets. He kept files on EVERYONE. There is some merit to what he was doing. Bellicheat and Piolli both do similar stuff. They dont force their scouts to hand write and file everything, but they both have spent extensive money on counter intelligence within their front offices.
I suspect their is a game within the game that most of us arent aware of. I know first hand it happens in motorsports. Espionage is sports is nothing new. I think it is a much bigger thing in the NFL than we realize. It gets no publicity but it would be cool to know more about it.

Are you hoping for that?
JC is not a upgrade over Cutler.
When you spend your afternoon on your back, any QB is going to look bad. That O-line is BAD.
Funny, a few years ago Cutler was taking a lot of heat for not showing enough body language and not looking like he cares enough.
Now he shows some fire and everyone is flipping out.
What he did to his O-Lineman wasnt that bad. Way worse happens in the locker rooms all the time.
Funny how when Brady screams at his OC or lineman, he’s seen as a fiery leader. When TO does it he’s a locker room cancer.
Cutler is getting the TO treatment right now. Or rather, he’s getting the usual Chicago QB treatment.
Remember, this is an fanbase that couldnt wait to run Jim McMahon off the team for Flutie, and once Flutie came in they couldnt wait to get rid of him. They are a HORRIBLE franchise when it comes to dealing with QBs. Always have, and apparently always will.
That team will be fine, and go deep into the playoffs if they rally around their QB. If not, they are F’d. We’ll see how it all unfolds I guess.

What an incredibly awful pass from Logan Thomas.
This guy is supposed to be a first round pick?
====================
He’ll probably be overdrafted due to his skill set and upside, but I don’t see the first round for him anymore after his performances thus far. Bad accuracy, poor decision making.

You know what Bollers favorite move in practice was?
Throw the ball as hard as possible. Screen pass, dump off, you name it. Everything was a rocket. His goal was to break receivers fingers. For whatever reason he thought he was impressing coaches with his arm strength by throwing balls that were un-catchable.
Players on the team hated him. But the coaches (Tedford) let it go on. It was a joke.
September 15th, 2012 at 11:06 am
As if the Bears don’t suddenly have enough problems, they now have to fret about when and if the players will rise up against their petulant, James Dean-wannabe quarterback, Jay Cutler.
Last night’s sideline incident with left tackle J’Marcus Webb, which featured Cutler swearing at and bumping the much bigger Webb, has created concerns within the organization that the players could eventually turn on Cutler, for good. That’s what a source with direct knowledge of the situation tells PFT.
It’s not the first time a quarterback has had relationship issues in the locker room. We’ve heard for years that Ben Roethlisberger had been (and still may be) persona non grata in Pittsburgh. But the Bears are getting closer to the breaking point with Cutler, and the worry in the organization is that if it keeps up, something could go down.
September 15th, 2012 at 11:07 am
I gotta tell u guys, there’s a kid out of Murray St. named Demetrious Washington who’s 5′10 150 lbs. but he has a very unique skill set. He’s the 3rd string QB for the Racers, but watching tape on the kid you’d think he was easily a top 5 prospect in the draft.
His running abiltiy far surpasses that of Tebow and his arm strength makes Aaron Rodgers look like a Pop Warner player.
His ability far exceeds shleps like Luck and Brees…I’m telling ya guys this kid is for real.

yeah maybe, if he can reel his tongue back in his head from around his knees and quit licking his fingers. JC reminds of Drew Brees, constantly licking his index and middle fingers. It makes one wonder.
September 15th, 2012 at 11:09 am
Boller once went 0-12 one season at Cal.
How any QB can go 0-12 and be a first round pick is beyond logic.
September 15th, 2012 at 11:10 am
KK,
Anyway, don’t worry about Cutler, he’ll never last the season. He can’t get his head straight and never will. Eventually, he’ll go down with a hangnail injury.
September 15th, 2012 at 11:12 am
Noooooo!!!
September 15th, 2012 at 11:12 am
Cutler’s record in Chicago the last 3 years is 18-9, so I doubt they plan on benching him anytime soon.

And Chicago has to be one of the stupider fan bases in the history of the league.
Look at their track record with QB’s. When they have good ones, they run them out of town.
Cutler is a lot better than ANYONE theyve had since Flutie (who was never given a proper chance). It’s seriously been 20+ years since theyve had a QB. They wouldnt know one if they saw it.

it’s easy for a lot of people to pick MIA …
Raiders play horribly in that place most of the time. it’s always a morning game and they just aren’t in game shape yet, at least enough to stand up to the humidity for 4th quarters.
having Wiz back really helps, because we need someone to head off the point of attack on inside plays, and direct the men around him. Parsons doesn’t quite cut it, not even for a backup.
I also have a lot of faith in the Big V vs Wake matchup … hell, he did it last year, and he’ll do it again. this and especially in the run game.. Wake should get owned all game long on that left side.
its POSSIBLE that Darren could get accustomed to this one cut style ZBS in a hurry. he is afterall the best in the game, right? he is a downhill runner by trade.. stopping on a dime isn’t exactly his forte. we’ll see tomorrow morning.

So McFadden ADMITTED the ZBS was his college style of blocking, played in the ZBS his first two years, was in sometype of HYBRID in 2010, and finally played in a power-scheme FOR THE FIRST time in 2011, and now is back in the ZBS.
How can he not be a ZBS runner? It is basically what he has played in almost his whole adult life.

I realize Logan Thomas is young and has sometime to develop, but man he is miles away from being a NFL QB, IMO.
He just threw his last pass of the game, about a 25 yard sideline fade pattern, that was about 5 yards underthrown and about 5 yards into the middle of the field.
And he is a load to bring down, but not much escapability in the pocket.

“When I said I wanted to play a greater role, what I meant by that was, I’m going to get a defensive coordinator that I want. I’m going to get the staff members that I want. And the players that weren’t playing well aren’t gonna be here.
“Before, I didn’t have a chance in all of those things. Everybody knows my hands were tied – I worked for Al Davis. He ran the defense, always had. It’s part of the job.”

Thank you RaidO. This is for all Hue Bashers here is some reality for you. With Hue on board we are easily 1-0 and about to go crush Mia instead its Knapptime and we’re praying for a W against a rookie QB.

“When I said I wanted to play a greater role, what I meant by that was, I’m going to get a defensive coordinator that I want. I’m going to get the staff members that I want. And the players that weren’t playing well aren’t gonna be here.
“Before, I didn’t have a chance in all of those things. Everybody knows my hands were tied – I worked for Al Davis. He ran the defense, always had. It’s part of the job.”

“There is danger in the belief we can remake the world by bribing some countries and bombing others. But that is precisely what the interventionists – be they liberal or conservative – seem to believe. When the world does not conform to their image, they seem genuinely shocked. The secretary of state’s reaction to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was one of confusion. “How could this happen in a country we helped liberate, in a city we helped save from destruction,” she asked.
The problem is that we do not know and we cannot know enough about these societies we are seeking to remake. We never try to see through the eyes of those we seek to liberate. Libya is in utter chaos, the infrastructure has been bombed to rubble, the economy has ceased to exist, gangs and militias rule by brutal force, the government is seen as a completely illegitimate and powerless U.S. puppet. Is anyone really shocked that the Libyans do not see our bombing their country as saving it from destruction?”

If they did, instead of responding to a STUPID movie with violence and regionwide protests….they would have written an eloquent speach about why the video was wrong…
They would have financed a documentary celebrating the life of the Prophet…..any number of things that could have expressed anger or tried to educate.

The Musslim reliigion is not violent by nature.
Study the histories of Irran, Indonesia, and read Malcom X’s writings and you’ll know all you need to know.
Some of you here have a VERY limited scope of our countries history when it comes to foreign affairs. We’ve done more than our fair share of fvcking with people in south America. The only difference is those cultures lack the reliigious ideologgy that strengthens their will to fight back.
If you closely examine damn near every single coup or overthrow of a government where it’s country has resources or strategic importance our corporations want their hands on, you will find a rebel/terrorrist group that was funded indirectly by our corporations and/or govt in some fashion or the other. And that isnt even taking into account the Ziionist Jewws behind all of Issraels meddling.
Issraeli’s are the masters of deception. They stir drama up and then pretend theyre the victims. I got no problem with the Jewwish faith, Im agnostic, believe in whatever fairytale you want for all I care. What I do have a problem with are these pointless holywars and how nobody wants to look at the facts, which are that these Exxtremist Musslims are not-so-secretly funded by someone (usually us or Issrael) that has a vested interest in causing drama.
You think the Irann-Contra affair was just an anomaly? That is standard business practice. What’s worse, is only about 50% of that nightmare ever made it to the public via mainstream media.

The cultural difference (immaturity) of the Middle East and certain Christian evangelicals is not that far.
==============================================
It really isn’t. Imagine if someone like Pat Robertson or Fred Phelps was given absolute control of the country for a few decades. Would we be that different from Syria or Libya?

Thec,
I did not differentiate beteeen ANY of the nations of the Middle East….regardless of religion.
The USA should remove its self entirely from that region.
It seems that the only way the USA can stay is if it:
1. Props ruthless dictators
2. Overwhelming spending in lives, money and equipment “intervening”
As for Isral….I said the US should remove itself ENTIRELY.
If the US spent the same amount of money, time, resources on helping other countries that are actually partial to the US way of life….much more “progress” would have been made

Raider O,
Culture changes over time as do standards. The USA sanctioned legal overt discrimination, murder and disenfranchised blacks right up until 35 years ago.
My guess is that the Middle East was much more tolerant 1000 years ago than it is now.
One simply cannot allow a stupid cartoon or movie create this type of response.
—————-
Wasnt it like not until 1948 that the first white man was convicted of murdering a black man.
And the FBI didnt investigate slavery reports until the 60’s or something like that. Just one or two generations ago, their were still plantations with slaves on them!
Heck, at least slaves had some value to their owners. Their was a vested interest in keeping them healthy. Todays privatized prisons are worse than slavery in some respects. Same system, new era.

What’s funny is that the narrative our government would have us believe is that we’re going into these countries and giving them the “gift of democracy”, and that after we do so everything will be fine.
It took us over a century from our first settlements here in the new world to even conceptualize what our democracy would look like – all the while committing acts of genocide against the native peoples. It took another century for us to recognize the rights of black people (at that point we had already decimated the native population). It took us another 50 years from there to recognize the voting rights of women. 40 years later, we finally realized that “separate but equal” was not, in fact, “equal”. And still to this day we struggle with civil liberties, the separation of church and state, and providing every American with equal opportunity.
So how is it that we expect that we can destroy a Middle Eastern country’s infrastructure, rebuild them from the ground up, and then all of a sudden they’ll be a shiny little America Jr. in a region we’ve turned into a perpetual warzone?

We destabilize them because the previous leaders didnt want to play ball.
We then put new puppets in place and while making them some small fortunes, we riddle their previously soveriegn nation in debt induced poverty by getting them loans from an international bank (that we indirectly run).
So after they get a loan to rebuild their country we just bombed, they have to spend that money on our contractors to rebuild their infrastructure.
And any and all natural resources we set the prices too and sell for them, giving them a very small piece.
And when they default on the loan we come in and demand they allow us to build military bases, they hand over public resources like water and oil and electricity (that we just got done building with that loan) and now they own nothing but still owe billions.
Its a great system.
Now look at how many military bases we have around the world. In each one of those countries we did the same thing.
It started with the overthrow of the Shah in Iran in the 50s and has been going on ever since.

The only threat to our free speech is in Washington DC.
If your son was on foreign soil when he died, he was protecting our corporations foreign monetary interests. Interests that usually end with a lot of people suffering much worse fates than your sons.
As a Muslim, you should be well aware of this sort of stuff.
But back to the point, equating offensive language to assaulting someone with a deadly weapon is ludicrous. What you may find offensive is completely subjective. I think you know that. Youre trying to give an extreme case of when you would not be ok with free speech as if to prove a point (Im not sure what it is tho).
But the bottom line is this, if you dont think that our first amendment is more important than you and your feelings about your son, you are sadly mistaken. Our Constitution is the most important thing we have. More important than any individual. And if you dont see it that way, this isnt the country for you.

“ridiculous” and “disgusting” are completely subjective. Your idea of “ridiculous” might not be anything close to mine.
That is why the Constitution is there. That is why it is written the way it is. If you dont understand that, I dont know what else to say. But America aint the place for you.
Thomas Jefferson I think it was, defined LIBERTY as having the right to tell people what they dont want to hear.
He didnt put an astrix on that. It didnt come with a clause that said “execpt when it comes to offensive speech”. It was a open and universal declaration.

I would advise Israel to use as much white phosphorous and whatever weapons she has at her disposal.
When your nation is smaller than the state of New Jersey and surrounded by 22 nations with a combined land mass twice that of the USA, with a population of 500 million Koranimals dedicated to wiping you out – you do what you have to do.
You don’t worry about morons using terms like Israhell and calling you terrorists. People with any knowledge of what really goes on knows which side intentionally targets women and children, hijack airplanes, murder diplomats, terrorize Olympic games, fly jets into skyscrapers etc, etc.
There will be peace the moment Abdul and Fatima accept little Israel as a neighbor and leave her alone.
Until then, Abdul can keep trying and keep dying.
You ain’t dealing with Woody Allen.
Israel is way too soft and way too kind. That’s why this nonsense never ends.
Abdul better back off, cuz he’s fighting a war that he can’t win and can only lead to his own erradication.

don’t worry, Moore will pickup where he left off
Palmer loves that man, and so will Knapp. the best route runner on the team is back!
he’ll at least take some fuggin heat off DMC for a couple of plays… and not to mention our rookie receiver Streater. when that kid learns how to hold on to the ball, he’s going to ball himself.
Myers shouldn’t have any excuses when you’ve got Moore garnering a lot of attention, we should pick MIA’s bad pass D apart and put up some major points.
even without Bartell, i still think as long as there’s pressure on the young QB, forcing him to make mistakes, there should be some big turnovers generated.
Pat Lee was playing just as good as Bartell, and he’s filled in for Woodson and others before and played well. we’ll see if he’s a full time starter, although i sincerely doubt it.

yea Jacoby is a huge let down.
he’s Ted Ginn Jr., Jr. . absolutely ridiculous. same tackle busted the same ankle as last year. only in preseason this time.
If D-Mo doesn’t prove to be an injury prone joke himself like Jacoby, i’ll feel better about this offense with Palmer connecting down field to him all year. teams will have to honor the pass, because DHB will even be open often when that man is running around.

Raiders put Bartell, Ford on IR
Posted by Mike Florio on September 15, 2012, 5:26 PM EDT
AP
The Raiders had a decision to make.
Under the new injured reserve rules, one player could be put on IR and designated for return later this year. On Saturday, the Raiders placed both cornerback Ron Bartell (pictured) and receiver Jacoby Ford on IR.
Bartell will be able to return, Ford won’t.
Ford suffered a foot injury during the preseason. The play looked fairly innocuous and the injury supposedly was minor. Recently, however, he underwent surgery.
Bartell broke a shoulder blade on Monday night against the Chargers.
By rule, Bartell may return to practice in six weeks. He also may return to games in eight weeks. If/when he returns to practice, Bartell has only three weeks to return to the active roster.
Cornerback Coye Francies was signed to fill one roster spot, and long snapper Nick Guess was elevated from the practice squad to fill the roster.

BTW, I understand the video that has so enraged the Muslim world was made by some Coptic Christians.
Don’t know what’s in it exactly, but I suspect it has something to do with Mo marrying 9 year old Aisha, misogyny, mass murder to expand Dar al Islam — just stuff that’s written in the Koran.
Don’t know why Coptics would be upset with Muslims.
They’ve been so kind and benevolent to them.
I don’t need to know how the Islamofascists wipe out ‘infidel’ non-believers all around the globe in order to recognize the danger they pose.
I just take a look at how they treat each other and wonder what they’d do to me if given the chance.
I have no problems whatsoever with indiduals of any faith that are peaceful and do not wish to impose their faith upon me.
Unfortunately, there’s millions of Islamofascists with an agenda of waging war against Dar al Harb.
Burying your head in the sand doesn’t change that reality and certainly won’t make them disappear.

Where do i start with this tirade?
Israel, was a created in 1948 by the balfour agreement. this agreement was established by the rothschilds and the other so called jewish banksters.
Israel claims that the land was given to them by “god” however, most of those so called jewish people
or it has been estimated 95% of those people are not jews, but are converts from europe, are khazarians.
Hence the tern “jewish”.
Becuase one does not agree with you’re christian based point of view, doesnt mean you should start name calling.
