Mentor vs. pupil Sunday
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, September 27th, 2012 at 4:02 pm in Oakland Raiders.
When Raiders coach Dennis Allen takes the field Sunday, he will square off against the man who hired him as a defensive coordinator in 2011. Denver Broncos coach John Fox also played a key role in Allen agreeing to an overture from the Raiders to supplant Hue Jackson as their head coach.
“I talked to him about a lot of different things,” Allen said. “And at the end of the day, he said, ‘Go there, and you’ll do a great job, and you’re ready for the job.’ And I’ve talked to him since then, and he doesn’t give me all the secrets but, yeah, he’s helped me out a lot.”
Allen learned much of what he knows while working under Sean Payton for five seasons with the New Orleans Saints.
Yet, he also learned valuable lessons from Fox, even though they were together only one season.
“He’s not afraid to make the tough decisions,” Allen said of Fox. “He believes in a lot of the same things that I believe in. He’s always had a tough, smart, disciplined football team, and I believe in those same things. And he’s not afraid to make tough decisions, and as you continue to go on being a head coach, you learn that you’ve got to make a lot of tough decisions in this job. ”
Already Allen has made numerous difficult decisions, along with general manager Reggie McKenzie.
They opted to part ways with starting cornerback Stanford Routt and starting outside linebacker Kamerion Wimbley. They didn’t make a play for running back Michael Bush in free agency. And they released or traded six players drafted by late managing general partner Al Davis during the offseason.
– Running back Darren McFadden was limited in practice today, as he was the day before, with a shoulder injury.
Not to worry, Allen said, it’s only a bruise.
“That really hasn’t been a factor,” Allen said.
– Defensive end Andre Carter practiced as a member of the Raiders today for the first time. Allen said it’s conceivable that Carter can play Sunday against the Broncos.
“There’s a whole lot that goes into physically and understanding how to play the game from a physical standpoint,” Allen said, “but he’s a veteran player, so he understands how to play the game. So, the learning curve for him is not quite as steep as it would be for some others.”
Allen said it’s much easier for a defensive end to get up to speed than it is for players at some other positions. Given Carter is an 11-year veteran, that makes it all the easier for him to make the quick adjustment to a new scheme.
– Defensive coordinator Jason Tarver said Michael Huff is making progress in his conversion from free safety to cornerback.
Some of the signs were evident last Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, even though Huff struggled at times on how far to play off the reciever.
“He got more comfortable as the game went on,” Tarver said. “There are some things with body positioning as a corner where you want to end up when the play starts, and things like that, and he got more and more comfortable as it went on. And that was good. And he grew in confidence as the game went on, which is a big key.”
Getting involved in the game early figures to help Huff’s confidence, Tarver said, especially if Huff has success early against Manning.
“For any player, you want to make a play early anytime you’re in the game,” Tarver said. “That’s your ultimate. But when you don’t, you have to focus and do your job every play. A corner’s world is isolated a lot. You’re isolated. Sometimes you don’t get any action for 10 or 12 plays. So, when you’re out there, you’ve got to just keep — the best one, just keep focusing, focusing, focusing and when I get my shot, I’m going to make a play.”
– The St. Louis Rams claimed off waivers former Raiders offensive tackle Joseph Barksdale on Thursday, one day after Barksdale was released by the Raiders.
The Rams were awarded Barksdale over the New York Giants based on a worse record from 2011.
Allen said general manager Reggie McKenzie is going to remain vigilant about upgrading the roster, even if that means parting ways with a third-round draft pick so soon.
“As long as Reggie and I are here, we’re going to continue trying to build the best roster we can build and we’ll look at any moves we have to make to do that,” Allen said.
Allen said he isn’t worried about the risk of players without job security playing scared or looking over their shoulders every day.
“I wouldn’t say that’s a huge concern,” Allen said. “Obviously these players know … We understand the business and we understand the stresses that they’re under. But it’s a production business, and we all understand that. We’re going to make whatever moves we have to make to try to put the best team on the field we can.”
– The Raiders waived defensive back Akwasi Owusu-Ansah from their practice squad today. Linebacker Carl Ihenacho was signed to the practice squad at the same time, two days after being removed from the 53-man roster.
– Allen said he was aware of the fact the Raiders committed 15 penalties for 131 yards against the Broncos in the regular-season opener last season, when Allen was the Broncos defensive coordinator.
However, he didn’t recall that the Raiders also committed 15 penalties in the Broncos game at the Oakland Coliseum.
– Second-year cornerback Chimdi Chekwa is putting in his time on the practice squad, working toward a return to the 53-man roster.
Allen said he is taking notice of Chekwa and has high hopes for him down the road.
“Just keep working and continue to improve,” Allen said. “I like the fact that we have him here. He’s still a young player, he’s still got a lot of growth in him. And we haven’t made any final decisions on Chimdi. We’re letting him continue to grow as a player.”
Chekwa was active for four games last season, including one as a starter. Hamstring and shoulder injuries sidelined him for the rest of the season.
The Raiders cut him at the end of training camp, but he was signed to the practice squad one day later.
– Second-year running back Taiwan Jones’ playing time on offense has more to do with the ribs injury he suffered in the regular-season opener than the fact he bobbled a kick-off and a reverse in that game, Allen said.
“He has kind of had some sore ribs since then,” Allen said. “So, just his ability to get back from the injury – once we get him at full speed, we’ll see where we go with him.”
Allen said Jones’ ball-security issue is “fine.” That makes sense, given Jones recovered the kick and the botched reverse, which fullback Marcel Reece had a huge hand in creating with a high pitch to Jones.
– Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was at the facility today for the second straight day, Allen said.
Allen added that Heyward-Bey is going to be “fine.” The next step in Heyward-Bey’s recovery from the concussion and neck strain he suffered against the Steelers is passing the concussion-related tests mandated by the league.
Heyward-Bey has yet to pass those tests, Allen said, and there isn’t a timetable for his return to practice or games.
Heyward-Bey has not been made available for interviews since his injury.

How it all started for me as a fan:
Raider fan since a child when, Bo Jackson carried the backfield w/
Marcus Allen,
Schroeder overthrowing track stars farther than a javelin, Was mad back then,
stone cold like Ralph Wilson in 91, Heartbroken teen, dried up tears I
was done, But that begun the loyalty-the black hole occupied my heart,
even when it’s destroying me,
The silver lining’s a patched pirate, Raider Nation everywhere, even
CBS keeps it open-”one eye lid”
Give any limb to see the Lombardi hoisted, for the Oakland faithful
and Al’s torch lit,
for Blanda, Plunkett, The Snake and Flores, Madden, Long, the ghost of
Alzado’s voices,
Roaming Alameda with Eric Turner and Bender, the 11th man vs the
Texans was no pretender,
Said who sent you, that’s me jack
DMAC punch it in
“Code Black”
Go Raiders!
Last time!

what’s the best way for a closet gay guy to talk about weiners to heteros? make sure u throw in lots of penthouse-type talk about wasted strippers and p0rn stars.
September 27th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
no, they’re not gay. they find talk of weiners “entertaining”. they’re about as gay as maynard and zed from pulp fiction. beeech is zed. he’s the boss. the list is filled with maynards, the flunkies who think zed is cool. and some of them would like to be the gimp. but it’s not gay to fuk men in the azz, u see. it’s dominating ur “minions”. it’s so obvious. talking lots and lots about “totally wasted strippers” does nothing to disguise all the weiner talk. and it just shows he has no idea what an actual woman is like. u see, it’s all “humour”. that’s why he’s on a blog full of uninterested guys all day talking about their weiners. he’s funny, u see.

Yep…I knew Barksdale would get picked up by a good team and boy was that quick. Good Luck Barksdale…I’m thrilled for you. Reggie and Coach will make a huge mistake if they waive Chekwa. Give the Man a chance, the only way for him to improve is to sign him to the 53 Man Roster let him practice against the really fast WRs and put him in the games. Please be patient with Chekwa…as we have said before Nnamdi took 3 years to develop and improved practicing against Randy Moss. This is Chekwa 2 season…put him on the field and he will improve.

Our passing offense is better than theirs. And Manning has racked up a bunch of his numbers in garbage time after he was getting blown out. Their pass defense is really not very good. The big question is whether we can improve ours to the point of respectability.

September 27th, 2012 at 4:29 pm
Seymour,
kinda how our passing offense has worked when TRAILING at San Diego, TRAILING at Miami, and playing a Steelers D without Polamalu and their best LB?
Good one.

I just think Burris and Wheeler are great players. They fly around and never give up on a play. If Rolando has a good game on MCgahee (wishful thinking) then we have to slow down Mannings no-huddle offense somehow.
September 27th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
We have dominated that Donkey Oline for several games now. The only game we didn’t dominate was the one where the QB was really a FB and he did a great job of running for his life behind that janky Oline.
Raiders will have an explosive game on both sides of the ball. Book it.
September 27th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Miami,
comfortable saying we still have losses coming up to the Falcons, Ravens, Bengals, Bucs, Broncos (at least one), Chargers (they didn’t even have Ryan Matthews), and Saints.
September 27th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
I’m telling you guys, Wheeler is the linebacker version of Bob Sanders, minus the injuries (fingers crossed) plus the dreads.
Not limited to friendly fire. lol
September 27th, 2012 at 4:33 pm
Slomac had a vital run snuff on Pitts final drive, 1 play a game is enough for the big man.

Ref’s coming back gonna screw us protecting one of the chosen ones; i.e Manning.
September 27th, 2012 at 5:24 pm
This game is gonna come down to tackling again for the Raiders. If gets in 3rd quarter and D is tired.. you gonna lose the game if you dont tackle..
MCGHAEE.. or tackle D Thomas on those quick bubble screens. Cornerbacks and safteys will have to tackle.
btw Chewka is not that good.
September 27th, 2012 at 5:26 pm
Same Ref’s as the Tuck Rule no doubt.
September 27th, 2012 at 5:26 pm
Our ‘D’ line sucked and nobody is gonna protect Big Ben and now we’re supposed to step it up against the golden boy?

Get the lead early with sacks and a turnover. Score in the red zone and let them get winded.

Donkies scored many of there points in the fourth quarter after the other team had built huge leads, we have a legitimate shot and taking them down. Palmer please run the no huddle often and use your audibles. Defense needs turnovers, and stop the run.
September 27th, 2012 at 5:38 pm
Donkeys Defense can be run on and passed on.
Once we get Dmac rolling, which we do annually in Donktown, then Palmer will continue his precision passing. Carson is starting to look really good.
I am not afraid of McGahee , Decker, or Thomas. Our offense is better IMO, and Manning can be taken down.
Raiders- 24
Donks- 21
September 27th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
Raiders Dbacks have arleady shown what its like when they cant tackle and that kinda team shows up.
We had a lead against denver last year until they stoped tackling McGahee. U will need to finish off the tackling or he will run right through this shaky D
September 27th, 2012 at 5:42 pm
Hoping it’s not that close. Naturally felt the same way against the steelers. 34-31 there you go.
September 27th, 2012 at 5:44 pm
We are a much better tackling team.
We need to run the ball, and hit some timely passes down the middle. the Donks have had trouble stopping the run and TE’s running down the middle of the field.
We got this!!

Now the Donks Defense is supposed to be garbage?
I’m not buying into that sht no more.

If the play is over once a helmet comes off it should be browns ball. Just because the ball comes loose doesn’t mean the play is automatically extended. Regardless if the ball comes loose or not the play should be over as soon as the helmet came off. That was well before the ball was recovered. And to prove they got screwed on that call the NFL gods have returned the ball to the browns in the form of an interception.

As long as it’s not pre snap penalties…I’m cool if we get a couple of penalties. We should be on point with our play and leave as good of an impression as possible with these refs. Post Al maybe they’ll learn to call it without that intent to screw over Mr. Davis (RIP).

186,
I think all we are asking for is an even playing field. Seeing as we have somehow acheived the statistical impossibility of leading the league in penalties despite entirely new coaching staffs and rosters multiple times you’ll have to forgive some of us for doubting the “integrity” of the shield when it comes to calling a game fairly when it comes to the Raiders.
Yes, the players need to focus on the opposing team and try not to get sidetracked by the knives in the referees backs.

Bottom line is we shouldn’t put ourselves in a position for the refs to decide it.
If we do what we are supposed to do, the refs won’t matter.
Tuck rule game was post 9-11.
Of course the fix was in for the “PATRIOTS” to win it all. It would have gone that way regardless of who they were playing.

Guys, I just finished watching the coaches tape of the first half of the Denver/Houston game…the Raiders can beat Denver on Sunday.
Some things I noticed:
-Remember the talk that Manning wasn’t comfortable throwing to his left? I have to think it’s true. The only passes he threw left (and there weren’t many) were short junk…5 yards or left. Everything intermediate or deep was to the right or middle.
-Denver’s line is good. Not great, but not bad. Manning can’t avoid pressure as well as Roethlisberger but the ball comes out quicker. Denver likes to peck away with short passes and then go for the big one. I can see Denver’s offense having the same success the Steelers did last game
-Denver’s defense sucks. Elvis Dumervil and Von Miller–particularly Dumervil–have absolutely zero interest in doing anything other than rushing the passer. Houston is running right at them every time and Foster/Tate are gouging out good chunks (5 yards+) every time.
-Miller and Dumervil are still dangerous pass rushes but the rest of Denver’s defensive line has got nothing. If Palmer can get the ball out quick to avoid those two, he’ll be fine.
-Champ Bailey is still Champ Bailey. Other than him, though, the Donkey secondary is junk. I can see why Reggie passed on Tracy Porter…he’s horrible. He’s been smoked twice for long TDs already, although to be fair to him I think the one might have been a result of a blown zone handoff to a safety.
-Speaking of which, Denver’s safeties are pretty good in run support but look absolutely as lost as Stu Schweigert ever did in pass defense.
I can see this game becoming a shootout but one I really think the Raiders can win. Look for a 33-31 type victory.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:27 pm
RoMac “jogging” should honestly the least of our concerns. Mostly when you see that, the runner is not going to be caught.
Now, often times the reason the runner is that far down the field is that McClain has missed his gap and left a huge running lane. THAT’S what we need to be worried about. I’m out of patience with it.
September 27th, 2012 at 9:46 pm
I’m always hopeful with the Raiders and Sunday is no exception. But the Donks are better than a lot of people realize. They’ve had a brutal opening stretch with the Steelers, Falcons and Texans. Falcons and Texans have to be considered the top two teams in the league right now. Manning almost brought the Donks back to catch them despite four Q1 turnovers.
Look, anything can happen in a division game, but with our makeshift secondary and the running game struggling outside of one play this season it’s definitely a tall order. I think much moreso than most in here realize.
Keys to victory will be three-fold.
1. Running game has to break out in a big way. Sustain drives with it. Keep the ball out of Manning’s hands and set up the PA.
2. The secondary has to play so far over its heads that their noses bleed for a week to ten days.
3. Need to win the turnover battle by 2 or more.
No. 1 you would think is doable. No. 3 is largely contingent upon No. 2.

I agree. I liked him at OK State last year. But he’s going to have to get good quick. He’s only like 4 years younger than Palmer and he’s a rookie. But he could have a good 8 or 9 years in him if he stays relatively healthy.

If the raiders can pull off the upset, I think there will be a 3 way tie @ 2-2. I really see the chiefs beating the chargers at home this week.
For the raiders to win here’s what needs to happen:
Stick to Allen’s designed defense which is to limit big plays, give them the short stuff and either create turnovers or hold them to 3.
I think Huff & lee will build on a solid 2nd half vs. the stealers.
Must get pressure on manning, obviously.
McClain needs to have more positive plays than negative.
Continued production from the TE position. MLB Mays is out so that helps their chances.
Moore needs to cut out the early drops. If we can get a lead it makes it easier to stick to the defensive plan. Can’t expect to have 4th quarters like last week consistantly, especially on the road.
DMC, like last week needs to bust a good gain or two early. Gives him and the Oline confidence that they need. Can’t get discouraged early, game could slip away.
Raiders 27-20

September 28th, 2012 at 5:45 am
I honestly think this is going to be a laugher this weekend.
Maybe I am overconfident with the recent beatings we have given the Donkeys of late, but if Tom Cable and Jamarcus Russell can go into Denver and smash them, I see no reason why Dennis Allen and Carson Palmer can’t.

I’m going with KC to beat SD who looked like they didn’t belong in the same sport as Atlanta.
With Denver, it’s Manning against our secondary.
We didn’t have much pass rush last week against Pittsburgh but Roethlisberger is strong enough to just shrug people off. If we get one going then we have a chance.

To beat Denver, run game needs to be on.
Keep the ball away from Peyton and the Denver O, mainly due to Raiders secondary problems.
Huff will be better this game.
We need to protect the FB, win TOP, and cause some turnovers.
Raiders can do it in Denver.
Denver D will focus on TE which will open up things for D Moore. Some big plays in first half. Running game will be better.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:00 am
I know it is hard to look at it objectively, with the name “Manning” across his jersey, but strip out the names and CLEARLY Carson Palmer is playing better football than Peyton right now.
I feel we have the best QB going into THIS game.

Wow. You never would have saw words like this on this blog about 2 months ago. Nothing personal to you Fingers but talk like that would have gotten you ran out of town.
There were so many Palmer haters here and now nothing but crickets. So funny. Cowards.
Here’s my take on Manning….
He MAY not be his same old self (Im still not convinced of that though) but even if he is a lil long in the tooth, lets be real here. Peyton has been the best QB in the NFL arguably each and every year of the last decade (with exception of 2002). So if he’s “lost a step” what does that make him? The 7th best QB in the league?
Lets be real here, he’s still dangerous as he’s ever been. He’s still just adjusting to a new system, and a BRUTAL first three games. Arm strength was NEVER his greatest attribute so even if he’s lost some zip, it means squat to me.
We should not be taking Manning lightly.

*********************************
I enjoy your posts Chris but I disagree somewhat with ya here. First off the Broncos are not that damn good. They are average at best just like the rest of the AFC WEST
The run is important in any game…its football but this Denver defense is rather stingy vs the run. But sustaining drives that dont go into touchdowns puts you in a position to lose. The run game will at least have a little bit of confidence after last week so we shall see.
I love how everyone talks down on the secondary…..look no secondary is gonna be schit if the DL doesnt get any pressure. The weakest WR ever will get open after 5-6 seconds. So far Rivers,Tannehill and Rapistberger have had all day to throw so dont blame the CBs if you not gonna roast the dline.
Turnovers we see eye to eye…thats how we won the Pitt game
My 3 Keys to a win in Dungver
1. Knapp must let go of his ego and continue to mix in the power plays with his zbs schit. Its best way to get offense moving
2. Must withstand the initial burst of energy from Denver. The crowd is always pumped when the Raiders come to town. Expect Broncos to try for the knockout blow early
3. The Dline must get to Peyton early and often. He is shaky right now and doesnt look crisp. We must get more than 1 sack this week to win. Lucky for us he cant move around like Big Ben
Raiders 27
Broncos 20
September 28th, 2012 at 6:54 am
Manning will have flashes of brilliance still, like the old heavyweight’s still-thunderous right hook when they are past their prime.
But make no mistake, Peyton will have a couple Ali-Holmes moments this year when it will be painful to watch.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:55 am
The emotional aspect favors us since we’re coming of a huge win while Denver has lost 2 straight and some people are questioning Manning’s arm now, Peyton may be feeling the pressure a little bit and I hope he either tries to do too much or not enough.
The most glaring mismatch favoring Denver seems to be Decker, Thomas and Stokley vs Huff, Lee and Hanson, a bend but don’t break approach seems like the way to go, give them some yards and make sure the first tackler gets them, easier said than done by the way.
As for the Raiders, our key matchup is definitely our OL vs an average, at best, Denver front 7 missing a key player in Joe Mays, if we can push them around we have a shot.
Getting the ball to Reece and Ausberry could be a key, their one decent cover LB Woodyard should focus on McFadden-Goodson, so if we can stay on a base or two TE offense Reece and Ausberry can exploit Brooking or Miller and if they bring a Safety to cover them the middle will be exposed.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:59 am
I’ll take Lee, Huff or Hanson over Stokley.
That dude is running on fumes.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:01 am
Have to stay out of 3rd and longs, and when we do inevitable fall into a few of those, have to try to sneak in a draw or screen or something to keep their edge rushers honest.
Doesn’t matter if you leave in 7 guys to block, if you are facing a 3rd and 9, with that crowd noise and those two guys coming off the edge with one thing in mind, you won’t be successful.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:02 am
Decker MIGHT catch 4 balls….
6 yds here, 8 yds there, 3, and 6 again.
Non factor.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:02 am
Palmer deserves some of the criticism for his late fluttery throws. Part of that is the lack of chemistry with a rotation of WR’s and injuries have slowed the development of trust downfield. But you have to give credit where credit is due. That Palmer to Myers combination is sweet music. I’ve been as critical as anyone about Myers, but Palmer has been getting him the ball inside his wheelhouse consistently and Myers is 15 for 15 on his targets. That’s amazing and by far leads the NFL. Palmer doesn’t get enough credit on his intermediate throws and people only like to mention the deep throws.
I would take Palmer over Manning too, but only because of the fear that Manning won’t hold up an entire season. But if I was guaranteed health of Manning, I’d take Manning in a heartbeat, even with his noodle arm. He’s like an extra offensive coordinator on field. Very tough to defend, and always a challenge.

Stokley may be running on fumes, but he still has 11 for 126 and a TD and he can find the soft spot and get open vs a Zone, with our Secondary still adjusting and getting familiar with each other, Stokley can make a few key plays.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:05 am
Decker is the guy who is going to be difficult to stop, especially if we keeping giving up yards at the LOS. Demaryius could hurt us too, and he flashes Brandon Marshall type ball skills and a big body. And I don’t see Brandon Stokley as being done either. He’s very fluid and knows exactly where to be on the field for Manning when a play breaks down. He will be the beneficiary of busted plays.

That’s like me saying you have no respect for US RAIDER FANS in So Cal because you bash the Lakers.
Dirt infield cost us a pick last week that could have cost us a game.
Had to waste to plays at the end of the game to make sure Jano didn’t have to kick outta the dirt.
PHHUUGGGHHH that dirt infield!!!!!

No thats not the same thing…Raiders are Oakland….you get that? Raiders were born and bred here….they symbolize Oakland…so your Laker schit is out of the window and holds no weight here BALDY
Warriors are my team…they play in Oakland right now…see at Warrior games you see hella Raider gear they share the same address…try again HEAD Sanford
If an INT in first quarter cost you game then you didnt deserve to win…come on with that punk ass excuse….guys slip on all surfaces J…..stop being with this schit
Waste plays? How did you waste plays that led to the win?

I live within earshot of Orlando radio and it was comical how Dwight Howard would lead a soap opera on the news every day. Ask any Magic fan if they miss him, they are happy to move on from that dramaqueen. Good luck Lakers. They love the divas, he should be right at home there in LA.

September 28th, 2012 at 7:31 am
I’m guessing Fox and Del Rio will start the game by daring our WR’s to beat them, maybe put Champ on Moore and sell out vs the run, but we can’t shy away from establishing the run, keep them coming and spread the ball around to Reece, Myers, Ausberry, Hagan and Streater, try to exploit Brooking on coverage in the base offense as much as possible, but we need the D to keep the game close first so we don’t have to open it up.

I’m always hopeful with the Raiders and Sunday is no exception. But the Donks are better than a lot of people realize. They’ve had a brutal opening stretch with the Steelers, Falcons and Texans. Falcons and Texans have to be considered the top two teams in the league right now. Manning almost brought the Donks back to catch them despite four Q1 turnovers.
Look, anything can happen in a division game, but with our makeshift secondary and the running game struggling outside of one play this season it’s definitely a tall order. I think much moreso than most in here realize.
Keys to victory will be three-fold.
1. Running game has to break out in a big way. Sustain drives with it. Keep the ball out of Manning’s hands and set up the PA.
2. The secondary has to play so far over its heads that their noses bleed for a week to ten days.
3. Need to win the turnover battle by 2 or more.
No. 1 you would think is doable. No. 3 is largely contingent upon No. 2.
*********************************
I enjoy your posts Chris but I disagree somewhat with ya here. First off the Broncos are not that damn good. They are average at best just like the rest of the AFC WEST
The run is important in any game…its football but this Denver defense is rather stingy vs the run. But sustaining drives that dont go into touchdowns puts you in a position to lose. The run game will at least have a little bit of confidence after last week so we shall see.
I love how everyone talks down on the secondary…..look no secondary is gonna be schit if the DL doesnt get any pressure. The weakest WR ever will get open after 5-6 seconds. So far Rivers,Tannehill and Rapistberger have had all day to throw so dont blame the CBs if you not gonna roast the dline.
Turnovers we see eye to eye…thats how we won the Pitt game
My 3 Keys to a win in Dungver
1. Knapp must let go of his ego and continue to mix in the power plays with his zbs schit. Its best way to get offense moving
2. Must withstand the initial burst of energy from Denver. The crowd is always pumped when the Raiders come to town. Expect Broncos to try for the knockout blow early
3. The Dline must get to Peyton early and often. He is shaky right now and doesnt look crisp. We must get more than 1 sack this week to win. Lucky for us he cant move around like Big Ben
Raiders 27
Broncos 20
————————————-
Stingy vs the run? Some here are saying they arent. Some are saying they are. Someone is full of chit.
Our D-Line was moving the pocket last week. Our DBs were not playing aggressive enough. But if I had to pick our most glaring weakness right now, Im going to say its the lack of impact DE play. We need these guys to show up in a big way this weekend. It’s the only unit on the team that hasnt shown improvement over the past 3 weeks.
The only people that need to let go of their ego is all the people still hating on Knapp. Nobody in that contingent wants to admit they were wrong. And Im positive that there are a few here that would prefer we’d lose so they’d win the debate rather than the Raiders win and they have to eat crow.
Your point #2 is spot on.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:35 am
Streater was money during the preseason. Looked like Calvin Johnson on the short pitch and catch plays tossing the ball to the refs. He looked like a season NFL player. But once the season started, he looked like a deer in the headlights at times. He needs to get back into his groove. Shake off the doubt. He’s got the tools to make multiple catches on scoring drives. He looks scared at times. Needs to get that mojo back.

I think the Raiders are well supported when the product on the field is decent.
If Mark Davis thinks that its going to be any different in LA, he’s got a rude awakening coming. The typical LA resident isnt going to go to a game to watch the crappy product that we’ve typically put out there.
LA wants winners and winning usually isnt enough, you gotta win with style.
I may be the minority here but I like Oakland Coliseum. It adds to the aura. I’ll miss it when it is gone.
Win games and Oakland will sell out every weekend. Keep threatening to leave and you’ll never have all your season tickets sold. People are real quick to forget that before the Raiders left Oakland the first time, the season ticket waiting list was years long. Oakland is capable of supporting this franchise. This franchise has to return the favor.

Winning is the obvious cure to the business side of things whether it’s in LA or Oakland. But the thing that could sway Mark Davis to LA are deep pockets developers that want to an NFL franchise in a marquee location like Farmers Field. It won’t really matter if it’s the Raiders, Chargers or an expansion team. The team will be an afterthought to the corporate expanison of the real estate values down there in LA. Mark Davis doesn’t live in a vacuum or burning money either. Every man has his price.

It’s funny how people put on their rose colored glasses after one win, Knapp is still an incompetent play caller, last week we ran the no huddle extensively, negating the need for Knapp to even call plays, Palmer had the freedom to audible to what he saw fit, this was all missing during the first two games, when Knapp called the plays. We are also moving away from strict ZB’s, Knapp is now and will be in the future inadequate in play calling, he should be the senior assistant to Palmer, help design the plays but stripped of and play calling.

The dirt inflield should be an advantage for us since we are used to playing on it.
I find it pathetic that our own players are always the guys that seem to be suffering from it. It is the equivalent of a GB Packer that cant play in the snow.
In the 70s Al used to make muddy spots on the field that our WRs knew where they were, so the DBs would slip and fall in the mud despite the fact that it hadnt rained in Oakland since the previous spring.
Today’s players are soft.

We dont need a new stadium. We just need to win games and thus sell out the stadium we already got.
Long live the Oakland Coliseum! A stadium fit for a bunch of malcontent fans like ourselves. It looks like a modern day elementary school (prison) and is dank and dirty like a pirate ship fit for Blackbeard himself.
I dont want some new state of the art plastic stadium that has not character. I like our home. I dont mind that the food sucks and the bathrooms are crowded and gross. We are Raiders, we should be able to handle the filth.
I love the fact that I broke the cup holder off of my seat during the first year of my season tickets, and still to this day, 10 years later, they still havent replaced it. Thats my spot. I marked it.
There’s a lot of history in that stadium. We should be using that sandy chitty field and infield dirt to our advantage, not whining about it.

September 28th, 2012 at 8:24 am
The key to victory on sunday is not giving the WR’s that cushion that got us burned against Miami and the squeelers. Manning will be dinkin and dunkin all day, he gets rid of the ball within 2-3 seconds. He takes what the D gives him, and if you blitz, he usually burns you.
Here is where Allen and Tarver need to earn their paycheck. They need to figure out how to disguise the blitzes against Manning effectively, otherwise it will be a long day.

Keeping Manning off the field by establishing the run game won’t hurt either. No huddle or not, need to win the time of possession battle too.

I know it is a dump. And I like it that way. Im not afraid to admit it.
Ive been to the plastic stadiums, I dont like them. No character.
The A’s need a dedicated stadium that is baseball friendly. But for football, I love the Coliseum. Ive sat everywhere in that place and never felt I didnt have a good view. Mt Davis, top row, Black Hole, EndZone 2nd and 3rd levels, 50 yard line, EVERYWHERE I had a good time.
Do the concessions suck? I think I said they do in my initial post. They are horrible. But I dont care. Give me nachos, beer, and decent braut, and a soft pretzel and Im fine. Leave the sushi, wine, and cheese to the f@gs across the bay.
The Coliseum is a dump. You are right. And I like it that way. I got too many good memories there.

You know it is coming.
The moment this locker room is starting to get a little confidence, starting to believe they can win games, the NFL is going to remind these guys who is in charge. Plant that seed in a athletes mind that shakes their belief in winning.
We’ve seen it plenty. I dont know why we wouldnt expect otherwise.
But we’ve also won in those conditions. We just have to be ELITE to do it. We have the QB and RB to do it. I believe we can still overcome the refs in this game.

————-
I swear, half the reason our guys find ways to lose games is because of the conditioning that theyve received from the ref’s over the years.
Ever notice how guys that first come to our team from winning orgs in college have a lot of fight in them and are great early? Then after a few tuck jobs they just start to expect and find ways to lose? When the flags start pouring in its almost like manifest destiny.
Every player that has ever played for us and then gone somewhere else knows what it is like.
Hopefully our guys just play their a55es off and overcome. This is where DA and Tarver have to earn their money.

Whether she has that sort of power is unlikely. Whether she has that sort of influence over Mark is a whole ‘nother debate and probably very likely.
While Mark was doing lines at Chico, Al was teaching his adopted daughter Amy how to run things from the ground up. Mark needs Amy tremendously. Al had his hand in a lot of business endeavors in the Oakland area. Those are critical to the Raiders and Marks cash flow.
I would expect that Amy and Mark have almost a brother/sister relationship and that he leans on her a lot. She was the son that Al never got. Mark would be a fool to not lean on her. And from weve seen, he’s not afraid to relinquish control to those more qualified and admit to what he doesnt know.

I want the Oakland Raiders and the black hole to have a huge home field advantage.
I want opposing players to actually HATE coming here and theres only one way to accomplish that.
Can they build a stadium and not concentrate on luxury boxes. Concentrate on selling out a 55 to 65 thousand seat stadium every game. Make every seat a great one and make sure there is plenty of peepots and beer/food with easy access.
I realize the lux boxes are suppose to bring in the big money but screw that. Times are getting tough and theres not many L.B being sold. I bet everyone is having a hard time selling them.
Would that work? Become more thrifty

Absolute truth….All of it.
When I see the laundry hitting the deck, and one of our boys springs to his feet from the ground, claps his hands together and other guys smackin him on the helmet and shoulders while already getting in position for the next play……I know the fight is ON. They’re in the right place.
If after the penalty, the dude looks at the big screen with a look on his face like he just smelled an egg fart….His teammates shoulders slump, heads shakin, eyes rolling……I know they’ve fallen into the “Victim Mode” and they say Fu*k this noise, and they game gets increasingly ugly.

“Victim mode”…. yep. That is the perfect term.
It is so prevalent, that us in the Raider Nation all suffer from it. We’re like Boston fans in the way we expect the worst always. It wasnt always like that. We used to expect to win. I’d say over the last 20 years the NFL has done a very good job of conditioning us, the org, and the players to all suffer from “Victim syndrom”.

The football players and the national media should be ashamed of themselves but that wont happen because they are shamless.
The ballers because the Reps never had a chance. The players treated them with scorn and got in their faces every chance they got starting in game one.
The media for being drama queens and acting like the regs were something they are not.
But you know who deserves my scorn the most? The owners for allowing it to take place. After the first game Roger should have sent the memo.
Get in a refs face and get a 25,000 fine. Second time is 100 grand and third is game suspension.
That would have solved 90% of the problems. Then get “more experianced refs” to advise the reps.
But thats all over the bridge.

Have other stadiums tried this? Going with the no-luxury box focus?
I remember seeing a diagram of the City of Industry stadium project and that stadium was projected to do like 75k and have the boxes.
I used to love the box that Playboy had right above the Black Hole back in 2002. Playmates were always getting ejected for showing their tits out over the crowd. Happened in like 3 or 4 games. Too funny.
(cue Beech to come in here and claim that he was in that luxury box with those girls)
I think the whole point of a new stadium is more boxes. They could care less about giving us better bathrooms.
I’d love to see a 75k seat sold out stadium full of REAL FANS but Im also perfectly happy with the stadium we got. When it’s rocking, its a damn fun place to be.

Luxury boxes bring in so much more revenue than regular seats.
But that is where I dont get it. We have A TON of luxury boxes in our stadium (maybe not as many as they’d like). How many more do they think they can sell?
Trust me, I’d prefer the cheaper stadium that caters to the fan and not the dollar but in all reality, that is what we already have.
A new stadium just means higher ticket prices, less REAL FANS, and more security. And yeah, better bathrooms and concessions.
I dunno. I’ve already weighed in plenty on this issue. Im going to enjoy the Coliseum as much as I can and I’ll be sad when it is gone. And if and when we get a new stadium, I”ll give it a honest review on this blog, taking everything into consideration.
I tell you one thing, moving to LA will really suck. City of Industry will be a nice stadium, but it will be in the middle of nowhere. And the downtown stadium would be convenient, but we will not get to tailgate. It will suck. The “Raider element” will be systematically killed off, and so will our home field advantage.
Whatever happens, I hope we stay in Oakland. And Im a LA guy that will be moving back there soon and my gf wants to be a Raiderette if they move to LA. As much as that would tickle my fancy, I’d rather the team stays where it belongs and I’ll fly up to games when I have too.

Dont lie. You know the feeling of dread that every Raider fan gets in their gut during the second half of the games we lose.
For me, it started against Denver (or maybe KC) on Monday Nite football @home in about ‘95 or ‘96. Tim Brown caught a diving touchdown and rolled into the end zone. And then we just somehow just found a way to loose. I never forgot that feeling. And Ive felt it many times since.

manning is salivating at the idea of going up against our cb’s and lack of pressure. If he’s truly 100%, play carter/shaugnessey/Tollefson at de and Kelly and Seymour at dt LOTS as we need natural pressure. No matter how effective a run game, Manning won’t be looking to hand it off. Be very physical with their Wr’s off the line with LB and Safety help

Raiders SLB Philip Wheeler credits Peyton Manning with turning him into a great player after squaring off against each other in Colts practices.
“Just by playing against him, hear him talk to his offense,” Wheeler said. “I was like, ‘Wow,’ he’s looking at that aspect of our defense.’” Wheeler is coming off a monster performance against the Steelers with 11 tackles, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and two passes defensed. Among 4-3 linebackers, only Denver’s Von Miller has a higher grade from Pro Football Focus.

September 28th, 2012 at 10:40 am
At 1-2 the raiders are treading water and fighting the current. Another victory after the shocking win vs pitt, and suddenly the team takes on a totally different look.
However a loss would take a lot of the luster off the early season after a very positive outing last weekend.
For plamer he has played solid football this year. he needs to follow up last weeks game with another good effort and try to finally win a division game. He is below 500 in the afc west and if he is ever going to lead this team to the playoffs, it must change now.
Palmer to this point is writing himself a very nice comeback story early on, lets see if he can maintain.
For the rest of the team, not much was expected of them at all. So a win would begin to put them in position as the surprise team of the early season. A loss would only confirm that they were not very good to begin with in the eyes of most.
We could either be watching the beginning of a fairytale season, or the delayed hiccup just before spewing vomit all over themselves.

Riff,
You have never seen ME complain about the refs in an Oakland game or Laker game.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:01 am
Today I woke up, and this is how I feel about this weeks game.
Pressure on Manning will be the key to victory this week! Already sacked 8 times, and on pace for a record 43. Must pressure him into tough throws, and hope like the Falcons & Texans we can build a good lead! Dungvers O line and running game must be owned by the Raiders front seven. I expect few blitzes, and a bend but don’t break performance. The last time when DA & Manning took the field together DA coached up them Saints Db’s for a SB winning performance.( Tracy Porter INT) Same thing happens here? Not likely, but I can hope!
I do like the Raiders offensive chances, Denver has been beat by the long ball, and I’ve started Dmoore over Jordy Nelson in the FF, I think CP3/Dmoore connect long, while DMAC churns up yardage on a depleted Donkey D and controls the clock, protects the D.
Janikowski finally surges ahead of all the other would be record holders and hits a record 65 yard field goal.
RESURGENCE!

I guarantee you, no one is happier about Raider victories than I am.
The “victim mode” tag is appropriate and i’ve fallen “victim” to it on many occasions.
The drubbings, blown leads and not so good football over the last 9 yrs. has an affect on a persons optimism during a game.
I’ve been guilty of knee jerk reactions during a game…going in the negative direction. It’s not that I WANT to feel that way it’s just when you’ve seen the movie so many times before you start to assume the worst is gonna happen.
I don’t trust the team to get it done until I see they can do it more consistently, but believe me i’m behind them getting it done 100% and do cartwheeels of happiness when we do pull it off.
Like I will this Sunday….I hope.

Wouldn’t surprise me to see DHB probably try to play this weekend, if he can find a way to pass the tests.
He’s a great teammate and competitor.
Get well DHB!

I won’t be greeting the refs like they did last night in BMo.
I want the replacements to officiate our games.

Rewatching the Steelers game.
They cheated so much. Glad to have the real refs back.
