DHB released from hospital with concussion, neck strain
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, September 24th, 2012 at 11:19 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders announced Monday that wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was released from Eden Medical Center after spending the night under observation.
“He is resting with a concussion and a neck strain, and expected to make a full recovery,’’ the statement said.
Heyward-Bey, 25, was injured on a helmet-to-helmet hit in the end zone by Pittsburgh defensive back Ryan Mundy during a play in which no penalty flag was thrown.
He was motionless after being hit, was strapped to a stretcher and taken off the field on a motorized card. While being driven off, Heyward-Bey was able to raise his hand and give fans a “thumbs up’’ sign.
The initial report was that Heyward-Bey had been transported to Eden Medical Center with concerns about a neck injury. Later, the Raiders said Heyward-Bey had a concussion and would be spending the night in the hospital for observation.
Coach Dennis Allen said after Oakland’s 34-31 win that Heyward-Bey was able to talk a little bit on the field.
“He was able to move his extremities so that was a good sign,’’ Allen said.
Allen meets with the media at 1 p.m. Monday.

It’s amazing to see safeties still take wrong angles when they see DMAC break free into the 2nd level. That safety misjudged DMAC’s speed and his little shoulderpad bump was a lot further downfield than he had anticipated. Don’t opposing defenses watch tape to know better? DMAC has world class speed and it’s deceptive for someone as big as he is.
September 24th, 2012 at 11:31 am
That dude chasing DMAC was fast as hell, he caught up to him in no time. My wife even said, whoa that guys fast!

Anyone watch BSPN this morning? They had a segment on how the replacement refs are missing calls that can be dangerous to players and showed Smith’s block, but totally ignored Mundy’s. Idiots! Even Fouts mentioned it during the game and also that they missed two PI’s/illegal contact on Steeler’s DBs in the 4th. Still a great win yesterday. Have to give Palmer credit for how he ran the O in the 2nd half. Totally agree with RJHawk… Wheeler’s a stud!

Wheeler isn’t getting a fine for that, no way. Smith, I didn’t see the cut block.
Mundy should get fines for both incidents and a game.
September 24th, 2012 at 11:38 am
Palmer did it he took the team on his back and drove down into field goal range with no time on the clock to get the win.
Palmer is really good at making reads at the LOS and it showed yesterday when they went to a hurry up O.
What impressed me the most was our D held with 4 minutes left we made them punt!
September 24th, 2012 at 11:38 am
Even though the refs have blown many calls. I honestly think we’re better off w/ replacement refs calling Raider games.

Carson palmer is officially in a groove. he has shaken off the piss poor play that has plagued him for the last couple of years in his career and he has evolved. He is no longer the qb that will throw the deep ball to beat you, instead he has morphed into a patient, take what the defense gives manager, that allows the players around him to be the story.
Carson deserves a ton of credit, he did what I have rarely see him do even in cincy. He over came an early mistake, and led the team to victory in the clutch. he did it by being cautious with the ball checking down under neath, and letting the play makers do the dirty work. I will go so far as to say, the carson palmer we have had since game 1 of this year is not only worlds better than carson last year, he is also better than the carson in cincy the last few years.
Why? He seems to have realized that his gunslinger days are behind him, his arm strength is still good, but ot what it was. His deep ball is erratic, but his short and intermediate game have improved leaps and bounds. He seems to be beating teams more with his mind and less with his physicality.
He has put together 3 solid games in a row, very few poor decisions with the ball. we can live with the occasional mis fire or wild throw, but the picks had to stop, and they have.
Carson is not just getting better in this system, he is becoming a better qb. Carson looks like a man that is making a statement for his job next year. he must have been reading this blog.

Raiders TE Brandon Myers sustained a concussion during the Week 3 win over the Steelers.
Myers has quietly emerged as a legit target for Carson Palmer. Through three games, he compiled 15 catches for 206 yards with no touchdowns. “He catches everything you throw to him, and he dives and make plays,” Palmer said. “Great player, and we got a lot of plays for him in this offense.” Myers will be in a race to get cleared for next week’s game against the Broncos. The Raiders could hold him out with the bye looming in Week 5.
Source: San Francisco Chronicle
=========
Great to see Myers and the rest of our young TE’s contribute on a Win.
That Myers catch toward the end of the game was huge. He has shown all of us he has good hands and can make the difficult catches in tight traffic when needed.
September 24th, 2012 at 11:47 am
Reece and Goodsen on kickoff returns? 51 and 36 yds. Not bad.
September 24th, 2012 at 11:48 am
How did you guys feel about the onside call? I actually thought it was a great call, but we didn’t execute properly. (it was there 2)
September 24th, 2012 at 11:49 am
Time of possesion 36:15 to 23:45. That’s kinda ugly.
September 24th, 2012 at 11:50 am
I dont want to hear any of that trash about how “carson beat a depleted defense”. Or that he has “posted garbage time stats” or anything about weak defenses.
The bottom line is carson is playing well, and in fact along with dhb he has been one of the few bright spots on offense this year .
Even if carson struggles for a week or two, he has earned a little slack from me. he has been solid in a rebuilding year, you cant ask for much more than that.
September 24th, 2012 at 11:50 am
Concussions are no joke. The NFL is really the only place they still even call it a concussion. The medicos call it a TBI(Traumatic brain injury) and there are different severities. A loss of consciousness and memory of the incident are among the most severe. To say he is expected to make a full recovery is just a short term prognosis. If he has more TBI of any severity, the reprocussions are progressive and will affect him in his later years. How do I know? Im 42 and when I was a kid I was hit by a car, lost consciousness for over 15 minutes, had to be resuscitated because I wasn’t breathing. I couldn’t walk for days because my equilibrium was basically in vertigo. I missed 2 weeks of school.. I had other milder TBI later in life due to sports, fights, etc… I am learning that the effects of TBI dont occur until much later in life and they are frustrating to say the least. The fines for the types of hits that DHB and Matt Schaub took yesterday aren’t enough. They need to suspend headhunters for this stuff.
September 24th, 2012 at 11:50 am
The only stat I care about are the points at the end game.

He used to do it at oddball times which is when it is most effective. I think he opened up the second half once with an onside kick. Don’t remember if it worked or not.
September 24th, 2012 at 11:52 am

I didn’t like th on side kick call. Here we are just building momentum, up until thet time they were able to score on us at will, we finally pull to within 3 points and we give them the ball on our 48 yd line making it that much easier for them to put their lead back to 10 pts. That kind of call could have easily cost us the whole ball game. Fortunately, it didn’t. It was just as bad as a fumble or an interception in it’s end result – it was basically a turnover that resulted in 7 points.

It wasn’t a turnover as we didn’t have possession. It gave up 30 yards of field position. Again I take that based on how our D was playing. Potential gain far outweighed the cost. We couldn’t stop jack at that time. Now, did I want to see it attempted again in the same game? No! Once was enough.
September 24th, 2012 at 12:02 pm

___________________________________________
True. He’s also not “managing” games – he’s making plays. The touchdown to Moore, the 3rd and 9 throw for a first down to the TE on the final drive, the throw to Hagan in the face of a heavy blitz on the same drive – Palmer looks good, and looks good under pressure. This team has some weaknesses, but Palmer isn’t one of them.

Extremely fortunate!! Both would have been called with real refs, and the scoreboard might have reflected differently as a result. Sure odds makers love the replacement officials!
September 24th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
I think people forget that we’ve already lost BOTH our starting corners.
Our D will only get better w/ time.
Hopefully the we can say the same thing about the Offense. (zone system)
September 24th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
I loved the onside kick, better execution, as always(by one player, Goodson), and it would have been awesome!!
September 24th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
If you think Pitt wouldn’t have scored because they had 30 yards further to go, you’re fooling yourself.
September 24th, 2012 at 12:07 pm
PALMER LOOKED GREAT. A true vet. Leader and made a shockingly athletic spin move away from pressure and threw a dart to Moore.
He isn’t getting sacked either.
The offense will lose a step without DHB this week & Meyers maybe. I guess Moore is #1 and Streater and Hagan gotta step up.
Champ Bailey will be on Moore, and I like that match-up, Champ is an all-time great BUT Moore has got the wheels on Champ.

To each his own.. I respect everyone’s opinion. But the defense played decent after that TD resulting from that kick. It’s almost like they really had to be backed into a corner for them to pull their A game out and make some stops. A win is win. I’ll take it.
September 24th, 2012 at 12:09 pm
No one would be complaining about that onside kick if it had worked! Allen would be considered a genius for it… the bottom line is, if goodson would have came down with that ball (like he should have) it would have been a great play call. I don’t know what Goodson was doing, he was right there and it went through his hands! Everytime he gets the ball I’m afraid he’s going to fumble… anyone else?

============================================
On the winning drive, the 3rd and 10 conversion to Myers was unbelieveable. Palmer had to rocket that thing into about a 6 inch by 6 inch window. Myers was bracketed and Palmer still hit it with everything on the line. I have been going to games for a looooong time, and that was one of the best throws I HAVE EVER SEEN!

I disagree, atleast in my opinion. Just afterwards, even after it failed. I still liked it. Also the 4th down conversion, was a good call, and liked it even if we didn’t convert. I thought gameplan was a success all the way around, Defense included. Hard to gameplan and have backups of backup at the CB and converted safeties to corners truly be successful. AS DA would say, this team needs to get better each week, and I expect and hope that will be true!! Great Win!!

Allen would be considered a genius for it… the bottom line is, if goodson would have came down with that ball (like he should have) it would have been a great play call. I don’t know what Goodson was doing, he was right there and it went through his hands! Everytime he gets the ball I’m afraid he’s going to fumble… anyone else?
=============================================
It WAS a curious call. In hindsight it was the correct call, because at that point our defense hadn’t even slowed them down more or less stopped them. The sad part about that call was the play was perfectly executed by everyone BUT Goodson. As for your comment about his fumbling, no, I am not worried about it anymore than anyone else fumbling.
September 24th, 2012 at 12:13 pm
We definitely need to be making some moves to get some players on D that’s for sure… don’t know if we will but Reggie should be looking for some corners! Good QB’s will throw all over us, if our Offense can’t keep up, we lose.

“Our” games, sure!! Like I says, real refs might have kept us out of it. But player safety is concerning. Had Mundy been penalized on DHB hit, no way he blasts Myers on that last drive. Thank god, Myers made an awesome catch, off an awesome pass, and held onto that sucker!! CLUTCH!

September 24th, 2012 at 12:17 pm
I have watched every Broncos game this season so far (It’s purely geographical). One thing is for certain – Poontang Manning has lost a lot of Zip on his throws and those picks against Atlanta wouldn’t have happened three seasons ago. He’s at the same point Farve was – it’s the beginning of the end. His throws wobble in the air as much as Tebows did a lot of the time and he isn’t close to the same no matter what the talking heads say. Denver is ripe for the picking.
September 24th, 2012 at 12:17 pm
Myers has made clutch catches and special teams play ever since he was drafted in the 6th or 7th round by Mr. Davis. Yes he had a drop or 2 but made a LOT of plays in limited time.

I know, th eonly reason some people liked OAK going into that game was because of the bad pass protection of steelers line. I think our depth outplays the starters on the d-line:
Bryant, Toffelson, crawford, bilukidi

I believe Pitts Oline is pretty good, Jets/Donkeys faired no better. Plus Big Pig Ben is crafty back there! I do like more pressure action against the Donkeys!

yup! no player with more than 10 targets can say that.
The TE committee is nice for us. Myers is a go to 3rd down coversion guy. Ausberry is a change of pace big play guy. and Gordon is a better blocker than any RT on our roster and a goaline target.

September 24th, 2012 at 12:25 pm
If the NFL has any sense of urgency, they’d bring back the refs in time for the Oak/Den game to stifle any type of Raider win, and to save PM’s bacon. But if they reach an agreement today, I don’t think they would be back on this upcoming Sunday. I think the replacements are doing about as good a job replacements can do. It’s the NFL’s fault the ‘real’ refs’ aren’t out there.

We’ll get to giving out some game balls a little later but a quick question to some of the fans: was that the biggest win this franchise has had (not counting playoffs) in the last 15 or so years or was there a bigger win? Monday night Denver game where Woodson took it to the house and changed the season? My feeling is that was the biggest win this franchise has had in over ten years.

I think the big win where the place was rocking even more was the overtime win in the rain two year ago versus KC to take over first place in the division…briefly…. where Ford was making plays all over the place!

I dont want to hear any of that trash about how “carson beat a depleted defense”. Or that he has “posted garbage time stats” or anything about weak defenses.
The bottom line is carson is playing well, and in fact along with dhb he has been one of the few bright spots on offense this year .
Even if carson struggles for a week or two, he has earned a little slack from me. he has been solid in a rebuilding year, you cant ask for much more than that.

September 24th, 2012 at 12:33 pm
First, thank God DHB is ok. Next, it’s a very nice victory, one in which Palmer recovered from the first play INT and was brilliant. He is by far the best QB we have had since Gannon. Any talk of Pryor is just plain foolish. We ran the ball more frequently, and DMAC busted a big one early. After 2 horrendous weeks on special teams, that was a huge surprise to see us play well. We know we have serious problems on defense. Cornerback issues are obvious. I just hope our defensive coordinator finds a way to make Manning’s life miserable next Sunday! RAIDERS!
September 24th, 2012 at 12:34 pm
Tarver has a lot to do ….. I personally would like to see some press coverage, Manning has been terrible on deep throws past 15 yards since his arm is wack. Need to bottle-up the short passing scheme.
Also a few times pressure came Big Ben did what he does best and bought time, Manning can’t do that.

at this point, i will finally join the crowd and say we should get another wr. NOT to, ocho, or plax. gaffney yes. we’re down to moore (injury always just around the corner), hagan (i like him, he’s smart, runs good routes, good hands, but maybe best as a 3rd guy), streater (pretty much a possession receiver), and criner (not ready for prime time).
i see us looking quite a bit like the chargers of the last several years. putting up huge passing yardage with only one bigtime receiver. using the tight ends and rb’s a lot. just gonna see more ausberry and gordon, reece, and maybe even taiwan eventually.

Carson palmer is officially in a groove. he has shaken off the piss poor play that has plagued him for the last couple of years in his career and he has evolved. He is no longer the qb that will throw the deep ball to beat you, instead he has morphed into a patient, take what the defense gives manager, that allows the players around him to be the story.
Carson deserves a ton of credit, he did what I have rarely see him do even in cincy. He over came an early mistake, and led the team to victory in the clutch. he did it by being cautious with the ball checking down under neath, and letting the play makers do the dirty work. I will go so far as to say, the carson palmer we have had since game 1 of this year is not only worlds better than carson last year, he is also better than the carson in cincy the last few years.
Why? He seems to have realized that his gunslinger days are behind him, his arm strength is still good, but ot what it was. His deep ball is erratic, but his short and intermediate game have improved leaps and bounds. He seems to be beating teams more with his mind and less with his physicality.
He has put together 3 solid games in a row, very few poor decisions with the ball. we can live with the occasional mis fire or wild throw, but the picks had to stop, and they have.
Carson is not just getting better in this system, he is becoming a better qb. Carson looks like a man that is making a statement for his job next year. he must have been reading this blog.
^^^^^^^^
CP was reading how his OC sucks and he needs to take charge change the plays at the line of scrimmage more often.

Dwyer solid numbers in second half clock eating mode, 75 yds on 16 carries, 1 TD. That way when we lose, I’ll have atleast won a meaningless Fantasy game. Of course I sure as hell hope I’m dead wrong!!

Keep in mind I have Dmac and now charles starting with dwyer at flex. With Tamme or Keller at TE. I like my chances! Besides Gronks gonna be dealing with the porn photo rehash, and Baltimores D, Not to mention I hate him.

So I did end up benching and eventually releasing Dwyer and played DMoore in the Flex, with DMAC And Charles as RB1 & 2
Started Big Pig Ben, and wouldn’t you know it, Charles & Big Ben week 3 scoring leaders. Gronk scored 2 points. Yes, one week. But Victory was mine yesterday, and I still like my odds!

Myers is finding holes and is becoming a good route runner.
He has developed nicely. I would like to see Ausberry be used more as well.
Since DHB is out….it would be nice to see more power formations with Ausberry split out with Meyers and Gordon down.
They can run the ball…or do a pass play action.

team certainly looks more legit with D. Moore fully healed.
DMac had some backside cuts available on some of those stretch ZBS runs. I’m guessing he’s just not used to it, therefore not very good at it. But cut backs were there. He usually just kept trying to stretch the runs outside to no avail.
Hope he improves with reps. But it just might not be his strength.

I have Cp3 in 2 of my leagues , except 1 where it Did auto draft , also have both J Charles and McFadden in 1 of them
——
Tits! DMAC, and Charles both took there sweet time until putting some digits up! Hopefully, it remains the same from here out!! Especially for DMAC, as that matters most to me in real life!! CP3 has been solid in real life too! And in comparison to Soup, I’d take cp3 again for a 1st and a 2nd. I really like his play so far this year and think he has been the brightest part of the roster. If the parts around him continue to get better, the trade is valid for me!

lolz,Oxymoron? The team that scores more points is in “fact” better. However, I think I understand your point, but should read that the SB losing team is often “questionably” better going into the game. NE vs. Giants comes to mind.

Great news on DHB!The beauty of yesterday’s win was my 7 year old son finally “got” the RAIDERS! Up to now he couldn’t understand why dad always loses his mind during RAIDER games and yesterday when Seabass hit that game winner he was jumping up and down and screaming right alongside me- it was awesome to share that moment with him!!
It was just great to see us play with some fire and passion and just keep fighting all game long.
September 24th, 2012 at 1:12 pm

September 24th, 2012 at 1:13 pm
here’s the question of the day. what good is adams, francies , and ross doing on the roster if they can’t play their position?
lee is ok i guess. hanson is okay at the slot i guess. huff kinda sucks.
adams has made some nice punt returns.
francies and ross?
how about the fact that we continue to search for cb’s while chekwa is on the practice squad. if he sucks that bad, why is he around?
September 24th, 2012 at 1:15 pm
i do see gaffney coming aboard this week. either francies, ross, or barksdale takes a hike. or they put dhb on IR.
also, i think it’s a matter of time before andre carter signs. they’re keeping tabs on him. he lives in the area. soon as his quad is good to go, he’s here. and he can definitely help the pass rush in a major way.
September 24th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
Brandian Ross will play more as he learns the scheme.
He isnt going anywhere.
September 24th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
I wouldn’t worry about referees. Converting 3rd downs and making defensive stops and forcing a couple of turnovers will go much further to winning the game than the officials.
There were several missed calls, the pick on Huff, the DHB travesty, and a couple of uncalled PIs.
But the Raiders did their job most of the time and all that wasn’t an issue.

we have one sure thing, a decent veteran with not much experience, and two rookies. a 5th wr is needed for sure at this point. dhb may be done with football altogether.
reggie said he only wants to bring guys in that would be around next year too. gaffney fills the bill. ford and dhb could never suit up again for the raiders. moore is always just about to get injured. we’re a big hit away from having hagan, streater, and criner as our wr’s.
gaffney is on his way to the complex as we speak.

I like that you’re always ready for an odd argument.
I’m pretty sure a healthy Steelers team is still considered better than a healthy Raiders team.
All I said was that to beat better teams (and the Steelers coming in were certainly considered a better team than us) you have to take chances.

He’s a high draft pick who’s not a terrible drive-blocker. DA, Knapp and Pollack may have reached the end of their ropes with him, though. If Smith can hold down RT, then Barnes could be a deluxe backup tackle, leaving little space for the lead-footed #72.
September 24th, 2012 at 1:25 pm

dhb has now left the field on a cart with head and neck immobilized twice in one year’s time. if he’s smart, he retires. even if he wants to come back, he could be done for the year after getting knocked out cold.
having four on gameday is one thing. having two of those four be streater and criner and counting on them, especially when moore is so fragile, is another thing. streater is contributing on his cute little 5 yard catches. but criner is not ready for prime time.
i was completely against bringing in another guy way back when we had ford and dhb. but in a quick amount of time, another guy is now definitely needed. plax, to, and ocho are bad ideas. but gaffney is good.
September 24th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
Glad to hear Darrius is okay. Hope his frame of mind isn’t too damaged. Don’t want him going all Jonnie Lee Higgins on us…
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Francies cut and a WR signed though.

yeah, lying there with triple vision and being scared to death that u may never walk again might take some of the passion for the game away. if he doesn’t want jelly for brains, perhaps he might decide to bow out. besides, i doubt very much he will be cleared any time soon. justin morneau was out of baseball for a year after getting kneed in the helmet sliding. hard to play wideout when ur off balance with headaches and can hardly stand the bright lights.

If DHb cannot return until after the bye, I’d say no to Plax, but would consider kicking the tires on Chad Johnson. But only if it’s for sure he won’t miss time with suspension. Gaffney likely the better move. But in all honesty, lets see what can be done with Criner, and Hot Rod! TE’s are improving and really like the potential of Myers & Ausberry!

Then he spent a whole day getting roasted on the blog by all my Brahs who, of course, called him out and just raked the dork over the coals
Ended up with the usual Nob results – huge flame out into an epic meltdown
Just gotta wonder what the Goober has in store for October! Shout be dope, word up to my homey Aaron Paul and his 2nd Emmy

One thing that hasn’t been mentioned and should be is McFadden doesn’t make that long TD without DHBs blocking downfield.He did a great job
====================================================
Yup….DHB can never be critiqued about his effort. He has always been an outstanding downfield blocker and hustles and fights.

Agreed, I like DHB. I like his demeanor, work ethic, and the guy is getting better each game. He’s still not making some of the top tier wideot catches, like the first long ball in the endzone, but is making hand catches more frequently then his previous seasons. Hope he gets well soon, and as someone posted previously. Hope he’s not Jonnie Lee Higgens scared from here out. I don’t think he will be!

i’m not associated with seymour idiot.
i’m not the gay beeech. although he’s only slightly more gay than u.
nobody here is ur minion, whatever that would mean.
u don’t have any blog brahs. everyone here thinks ur an idiot.
most of the complaints about gay(er) beeeech seemed to be about him being as annoying as u are. if u don’t realize it, that means that one of u is bad enuff, we don’t need two.
nobody knows what a flame out or meltdown means. u just keep saying it.
of course this is all a waste of my time, as u will NEVER stop ur stupidity.
u must lead an awfully boring life.

Overlooked from Sunday’s game: Raiders caught huge break with Willie Smith not bring penalized for brutal chop block on game-deciding FG. ///Steve Corkran @CorkOnTheNFL
After watching video of the Raiders-Steelers game, the chop block by RT Willie Smith on Steelers DE Ziggy Hood was a legal chop block. ///Steve Corkran @CorkOnTheNFL
Rule stipulates that an offensive lineman can chop a defender as long as the defender is engaged by the adjacent offensive lineman.

Lefty, you are correct about Big Ben’s ability to recognize a pass rush and move just enough to avoid being hit. That is why I made my comment about “statue” Manning. If we sack him a few times, we have a good shot in Denver!

Precisely, you can design blitzes to close on the pocket … Big Ben creates his own pocket reguarly.

Thank God, DHB is ok.
