Heyward-Bey eager to return to action; Streater hurt
By Steve Corkran
Friday, September 28th, 2012 at 2:03 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey on Friday spoke for the first time since he suffered a concussion and strained neck against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He said he is champing at the bit to get back on the field.
For now, Heyward-Bey is going through the league-mandated protocol for players that suffer a concussion. That means he isn’t permitted to participate in contact drills or to play in a game until he passes all the tests.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen said Heyward-Bey hasn’t passed the tests yet.
“Always; I want to play football,” Heyward-Bey said, when asked if he is itching to play again. “This is what I do for a living. So, definitely, I’m very eager to get back.”
That likely won’t be until after the Raiders bye week, at the earliest. He is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos after missing all three practices this week.
Heyward-Bey suffered his injury as a result of a helmet-to-helmet hit from Steelers safety Ryan Mundy early in the fourth quarter of the teams’ game last Sunday.
The hit knocked Heyward-Bey unconscious and caused him to hit the turf face-first, which jarred his neck in a violent manner.
Heyward-Bey said he has no recollection of what happened from the time he got hit by Mundy. His first memory is of being carted off the field, at which time he raised his right arm and delivered a thumbs up to the crowd.
“That’s just football,” Heyward-Bey said. “I signed up to put on pads and go out there. That’s what happens out there. People get hit, people get hurt. It happens.”
Heyward-Bey said Mundy texted him soon after the incident. He holds no grudge toward Mundy, who wasn’t penalized for the hit. Mundy was fined $21,000 by the league.
“I told him, ‘Hey, it’s football,’ ” Heyward-Bey said.
– The Raiders already are without wide receiver Jacoby Ford for the season. Heyward-Bey almost certainly won’t play Sunday, either.
Now comes word that rookie wide receiver Rod Streater “tweaked” his neck during practice today, and he is questionable for the Broncos game.
That leaves the Raiders with only two healthy wide receivers right now — Denarius Moore and Derek Hagan, the likely starters.
Rookie Juron Criner still is recovering from an ankle injury. One possible solution is signing either Travionte Session or Tori Gurley from the practice squad.
Of course, as Allen said, there’s always the prospect of just using players such as running back Darren McFadden, fullback Marcel Reece and tight end David Ausberry more in the passing game.
“Having versatile players that give you the ability to do different things is, obviously, always a good luxury to have,” Allen said. “We feel confident in the players we have here and we feel like when we do sustain injuries that we have enough talent here that we can move people around to give ourselves a chance.”
Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp said Criner is making progress toward getting a better grasp of the offense, now that he is able to get more reps in practice than the previous three weeks.
“Like Rod has been, there’s some good weeks and some learning weeks,” Knapp said of Criner. “But they both have made progress and that’s what I’m pleased to see. With Juron, it kind of set him back that injury. A young guy can’t afford to miss reps. With the injury that he had he’s fully recovered now from, the hamstring, so he’s made progress this week.”
– Tight end Brandon Myers passed the concussion tests, and he is cleared to play Sunday, Allen said.
Myers participated in practice for the third straight day without any apparent setbacks from the concussion he received against the Steelers.
Myers still is listed as questionable. Just a matter of protocol there. Myers will start Sunday.
Backup tight end Richard Gordon suffered a hamstring injury during practice today, and he was added to the injury list. He, too, is questionable.
– Right offensive tackle Khalif Barnes (groin) and cornerback Shawntae Spencer (foot) are out of Sunday’s game, Allen said.
That means Willie Smith will make his second straight start in place of Barnes, with Huff starting at cornerback opposite Pat Lee for the second straight game.
Smith said he is excited about the prospect of facing Broncos pass-rushing linebackers Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil.
“It’s definitely a good test,” Smith said, “but as a player you want to go against these kind of guys because it allows you to kind of gauge where you’re at and how much more work you’ve got to do to get to where you want to be.”
– Defensive end Andre Carter received more reps in practice today than he did Thursday, Allen said. He is getting closer to making his Raiders debut.
“Every day that he practices, every day he’s out here with us, he’s one step closer to being on the field,” Allen said.
– Former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms and Jim Nantz are broadcasting the Raiders-Broncos for CBS. Here’s what Simms had to say about the game.
“Even though there are basically two new coaches involved, no doubt it’s a heated rivalry that will never die. Although Denver lost to maybe the two best teams in football, they are still losses. What is the Bronco’s state of mind? Now, the Raiders have to be feeling good like they’re turning the corner after coming through at the end of the game on both sides of the ball against the Steelers? It makes me think it’s going to be a good game.”
As for what Simms thinks about quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Peyton Manning:
“The big thing with the Raiders was Carson Palmer. He was very good on basically every clutch throw in the game last week. And the other side is Peyton Manning. I’ve been beat up all week with questions about him. If you’re following it and a fan of Denver and of Peyton Manning, or if you’re just a football guy, you have to see what he did against Houston. You have to say there is no doubt it’s going forward. Now he’s got enough games, repetitions, getting hit and feeling the competition of the action. He is going to be able to make adjustments. He is actually getting better each week, even though he threw three interceptions. I don’t judge every game on whether you throw an interception or not. He was tested more in the Atlanta game than he was in the first game against the Steelers. He was tested a lot more against the Houston Texans. And I thought he had some long stretches of really good moments. My biggest question about the game is watching the Broncos offense and how they run it through Peyton Manning.”
– The Raiders depart for Denver on Saturday.

How is there “no way” for DHB to play when a couple weeks ago when RoMac had a concussion they tested him on game day? Why cant they do the same with DHB>
=======================================
DHB had a much more serious concussion than McClain.
——————————————————–
True. But i remember DHB getting KO’d against the Vikes last year and coming back the next week. He got hit in the back of the head that game when his helmet came off.
——–
Concussions never actually heal. You just wait for the side effects to go away.
DHB has now had two big ones. It’s only natural that he’s going to take longer to recover.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:09 pm
Streater hurt now? WTF!
And what is with this “Criner isnt fully healed yet” crap. Just yesterday they told us he was finally back to 100%.
Bring in Sessions. If he knows the playbook he should do fine I would think.
What a tough draw for CP3. I dont think he’s had the same WR corps for any two games since he’s gotten here.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Bring in Plaxico Burress!!!! Or T.O.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
The whole Criner issue is about knowing the offense and the no huddle, Knapp kind of suggested he is still too young in the offense, not so much a talent thing? Kinda an excuse, maybe they just like Hagan and Streater more.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:17 pm
Sessions cant come in. He is on practice squad. U would need to release someone first. They should plenty of ppl still
They need to line up Darren Mcfadden at WR.. and Marcel Reece. Creates mismatches.
Bring in Goodson at Run back.. flex DMAC wide.. do what u gotta do.
Just win
September 28th, 2012 at 2:17 pm
Media is gonna take notice… watch
Wait till Carter, houston, kelly, seymour, bryant, Shaunnesey start clickin. Ready set go
Send burris on a blitz too.. send everyone… .
However can we stop rusing on the outside.. it always frees up and open lane up the middle for the QB to take off.
Start send some pressure up the middle. Clog those lanes
September 28th, 2012 at 2:18 pm
This game could go the wrong way fast …. The Falcons & Texnas are superbowl contenders and the Broncos came back in those game. We share the same win (steelers) but it was an easy win for broncos.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
If we sign another player…who gets cut?
September 28th, 2012 at 2:26 pm
Pryor at WR as a fill-in?
I know the better solution is McFadden and Reece split out and more reps to the Beer Truck, Jones and Goodson in the run game…
September 28th, 2012 at 2:28 pm

We trailed the steelers the whole game, didn’t hold a single lead until seabass kick with 0:00 went thru.
We had 2 fumbles that save our ass and a 4&1 stop… we couldn’t stop any drives. We need turnovers to have a chance.

Yep, anyone who thinks this will be an easy win for the Raiders is setting themselves up for an ambulance ride to ER. Forget the injuries, the Raiders players still need to execute and the coaches need to figure out the right scheme. Heart alone won’t win this one, Donks are in the same boat.

September 28th, 2012 at 2:45 pm
2 factors will win the game…
Run game with RUN DMC, and some sort of pass rush on Manning, doesn’t have to be sacks, but hits, hurries, tips, force holding calls, any pressure to throw off the golden boy.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:46 pm
Both of our lines need to win the war in the trenches. Establishing some better play on either side will help us win one in Denver.
O-line has only given up 4 sacks so far and I think our team play will continue to improve and flourish under the new offense/defense.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:46 pm
Dutch and paradise, I think using Pryor on a few plays would be a great idea, whether a run or pass play.
Use as a decoy, backwards pass then deep forward pass, decoy, if nothing else get him in uniform, involved with his teammates, give WRs a breather.
September 28th, 2012 at 2:48 pm
No one we sign today would be able to adequately play WR by Sunday, that would be a disaster….Palmer would throw picks due to them not being on the same page.
Get through this weekend and Criner and DHB will be back for the next game.

In regards to the Raiders getting a stadium in Oakland; where is the city at in this process? Seems like they could have a stadium in L.A much sooner than they would in Oak.

Not sure if I could support a move like that again, I went through that sht once and it wasn’t the same.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:03 pm
If Raiders move to L.A., all of the working class fans and gangsters will be priced out. Who would go to the games? I think it would be a disaster.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:04 pm
The Raiders do belong in Oakland but they also deserve a new stadium, as do the fans up in NoCal.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Raiders were still in L.A. when I became a fan. I would still support them if they moved back, but I wouldn’t like it.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Last week after DHB went down Hagan took over where DHB left off. We won’t miss DHB much. Then just get the tight ends into the game and we are set at receiver.
The main thing is to stay in the game. Manning will be chomping at the bit to win this one due to his last two losses.
CP can do the job if he has protection. The main thing is that we play mistake free ball the first half and stay with the Broncos.
A positive is the outstanding play of Goodson who had a monster game against the Steelers. A negative is the sub-par, unimpressive play of the McClain.
If we can exert moderate pressure on Manning and our secondary doesn’t get totally torched, we may win.
But, it won’t be easy.

Don’t hold you breath regarding the development of a new stadium in LA.
In this economic climate, if a new stadium is built, an incoming team has to be able to generate suitable income to pay the note on the stadium, even if that stadium is financed by outside investors and the Raiders are only tenants. The Raiders, with their lack of success, haven’t generated sufficient income in over 10 yrs.
Best bet is Raiders stay in Oakland.

Sorry Dakota, but you know little about development or high financing. What Mark desires is not even on the table. What matters is if Raiders bring in enough money to make the deal profitable for the developers.
As of now, the Raiders fall short.

===============
Which he WILL, and is accustomed to doing. All the talk about pressure on Manning -though absolutely true- is a fine idea but, how many sacks/knock-downs did we get on Rivers, Tannehill, and Ben? Not being pessismistic but, I don’t see a miraculous turn around in 1 week.
I say this burden is on our offense. We have to match them blow for blow. If Denver methodically drives down and takes 6 min to get 7 points, then we go 3 and OUT, they march down killing another 5-7 min and hang another score on the board we’ll be in trouble. Long a$$ drives, giving up one 3rd down conversion after another and a TD to cap it off, then only getting 3 plays off, coming back out on the field…….BRUTAL.

Y’all are fools. Raiders aren’t moving to LA. They’re going to London. You’ll be getting up at 4 AM to watch the games.
September 28th, 2012 at 3:26 pm
Yeah OAK tickets are so cheap, its a joke, we have been selling out for 2.5 years but thats only because how cheap the seats are … no waiting lists for season tickets, nothing
======================
How many games have you attended in the last couple of years?I believe Raider ticket prices are pretty close to avg.Selling out when you haven’t won in 10 years is pretty impressive.

Chargers are Leading Candidate!!!!!!
The only thing left will be attracting a team. Or two.
The leading candidate is the Chargers. Other possibilities include the Raiders and the Bills. Some say that the Jaguars are still a candidate, but that seems to be a long shot at best.

You have no clue.
They are far from average.
0 waiting list for season tickets?
They drop the price and provide deals to wheel and deal sell outs. I was at the MNF game, sat in a suite with a private bar, bathroom, entrance and its was $250. Thats chump change for a suite with food and drinks and service.
Tyr the jets or giants or packers or bears there are 10-15 yr waiting lists for season tickets. not even a waiting list in oakland

I’ve always heard we were last in line for Farmer’s Field, ’cause TPTB are worried about the “gang element.” They’ll take us if nobody else wants to go, but they’d take any other team over us.
LA Stadium (City of Industry) would probably be more accommodating to us. I have a few co-workers from that area and they say Industry would be a better spot, anyway.

Players always flock to the big markets and whichever team decides to move to L.A, will be able to take advantage of that fact.
It bodes well for free agents if the franchise is doing everything possible to make the team competitive, year in and year out.
Plus you got the opportunity for commercials, endorsements, hollywood scene, glitz and blah blah.

When the Raiders were the Raiders,before Davis destroyed the franchise by moving them,they had a waiting list.At the time they had the record for the most sellouts in a row.You fail to mention what it costs in Jacksonville,Buffalo,Cinn.,etc.Just because people in NY over-pay doesn’t mean everyone else does.

yea but along come the distractions. there seems to be a closeness that can be built in a blue collar city like oakland, a grit, a toughness. you can’t have one player in malibu another in orange county and another in the valley. in oakland you’re gonna run into each other and have no choice but to frequent the same spots. it builds camraderie, sense of community. someone with deep pockets needs to see oakland or the surrounding area as a good place for a football team or they’ll leave eventually

The Raiders will be second class citizens in the 49ers stadium if they stay in the Oakland area. That’s where it is headed and Mark knows that.
In LA they can stake their claim even if another teams comes along.
Stay in the Oakland area as the 49ers biotches, and the Raiders become the Clippers.

Discussions Held on Raider Move to Baltimore, Partial Sale of Team
November 08, 1994|STEVE SPRINGER and MIKE DiGIOVANNA
Peter Angelos, owner of the Baltimore Orioles, has had discussions with Raider owner Al Davis about moving the team to Baltimore and perhaps selling a piece of it to Maryland investors, according to a source close to the talks.
“All I can tell you is that there were discussions and it wasn’t just a passing thing,” said the source. “They were obviously substantive discussions.”

Sacramento Dismantling Raider Offer : Football: The City Council has given Raiders managing general partner Al Davis until midnight tonight to agree to move his team.
February 28, 1990|From United Press International
SACRAMENTO — The Sacramento City Council began dismantling its $50-million offer to bring the Raiders to California’s capital late Tuesday.
The City Council voted to yank its bid off the table if Raiders managing general partner Al Davis has not agreed by midnight tonight to move his team to Sacramento. Davis called Mayor Anne Rudin earlier this week to say he probably would not make up his mind by the city’s deadline.

All we have to go by is what the Raiders have stated publicly, which is that they prefer to stay in Oakland. The NFL had talks with the Raiders and the city this past August. You can bet the NFL prefers the team to stay.
The fan base is here and their continued support despite setting all the wrong records over the past 10 years and playing in an old stadium is impressive. Build a stadium and you will have your waiting lists. I will gladly pay twice as much as I’m paying now for a state if the art fan experience. The fans are here and they are ready. Build a stadium.

Talk of playing on asphalt is asinine.Many teams end up playing on dirt as the season wears on because the grass is decimated.I’d rather it was gone too,but instead of whining,use it to your advantage.Actually,I don’t understand why they don’t make it so just the bases have dirt and fill in the infield with grass.Not ideal,but better than what we have now.

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 Tom 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”
There you go Lefty12, I hope the Raiders stay, even though I was born in L.A. Just want to see them play in a new stadium.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Whats the problem with Oakland anyways? Is the city that poor? I lived in the Bay until I was 17, but got moved to WA with parents. As a Raiders, A’s, and Warriors fan, I dont want any of them to move. Does the city not see the benefits of having 3 professional sports teams? What am I missing here fellas? Does the city of Oakland have their collective head up their …..

They may not be going to LA, but Mark is NOT gonna stay in Oakland and keep losing money if a new stadium isn;t going to happen and if he has the opportunity to go elsewhere where the franchise can thrive.
====================================
Again the bigger question is where are they going to go? OK City? Memphis? They have a well established loyal fan base here. They have TERRIBLE for a decade and still sell out. If this team were in LA right now there would be more rats in the stands than people. That would be embarrassing for the league.

The thing cities can provide is the land. The land around the current coliseum would be ripe for development. It is on the BART line and a lot closer to SF than the Whiner stadium. It would be a boon to both the city and developers.

I wonder how much money can be generated from a direct request to the Raider Fans World wider for a new stadium?
i.e. a Ice Cube Raider Game Day theme song on I-tunes, A.D. T-Shirts, bumper stickers…Telethon.
Heck, you could get creative and get some dough from the Chargers fans…Keep the Raiders out of SoCal T-Shirts.
September 28th, 2012 at 4:41 pm
Best put some lipstick on O.Co. because I agree with others who say money for a new stadium will be hard to come by.
Can they build one in the Bay area for under one billion debter notes?

I am a Raider fan no matter where they play. The best thing that can happen is the Raiders and 49ers build a new stadium somewhere in the Bay area. That will make business sense. The New York Jets and Giants play in the same stadium across the river in New Jersey and they are still called New York and they both are doing well as far as business concerns. Why can’t the Raiders and 49ers do the samething? They can still be called Oakland and San Francisco even if it’s in Santa Clara.

Oakland’s attitude reminds me of Eugene’s in the years before we left. They had a big hospital right next to the University that wanted to move elsewhere. Every time they proposed moving to the suburbs (in a variety of locations), the City of Eugene would find a way to block it. Finally, the hospital just gave up and built their new facility…in Springfield. Great move there, geniuses. Oakland’s got the same level of “They’ll never leave US” arrogance.

The Whiners just did what the SF Giants did a few years back: they took a cargo ship full of Silicon Valley money and moved the team to Silicon Valley. There is absolutely NO WAY the Raiders are going to play their home games in a scarlet and gold decked stadium with the names of Montana, Rice, Brodie and Lott, draped around the exterior.

The 9Ball stadium in Santa Clara is RAPIDLY being built as we type. They are way past concrete by this point…
September 28th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
The 49er’s stadium is going to get built. The Raiders could have been in on that as a joint stadium for both teams, but chose not to. I think the most logical reason for not being a part of it was that they had their sights set on LA. A move to LA would make them much more valuable and put them on an equal financial level with the richer teams in The NFL.

I am sure that if The Raiders had wanted to be part of the Santa Clara stadium, they would have pushed for and gotten the seats being a neutral color and not red and gold. The rest of the stadium could have been changed for game day. The Raiders just didn’t want to be a part of it, I think because they have their eye on LA. As for The Raiders going to SD after a charger move to LA, if SD won’t build a stadium for the chargers, they won’t build one for The Raiders either.

You are correct that the only reason is $$$, but that’s a big reason. He mentioned in his intro presser last January that he needed a new stadium and he’d looked at offers from other communities but hadn’t found one he liked. That was a HUGE shot across Oakland’s bow. If they don’t take him seriously, he will take the team and leave. Ed Roski would LOVE to have us, and so might the new AEG ownership.

D is cursed with DB injuries, and lack of a pass rush.
Reggie has made moves to try and spice up the rush, the DB’s hopefully can step up with increased reps.

If Palmer struggles on Sunday win or lose it will be blamed on the WR injuries. Reggie could have made some moves to prevent this but he did not.

How would you have staffed the practice squad and 53 man roster to account for pulled hamstrings, concussions, and turned ankles.
Lay it out for me.
Reggie might be listening.

There is no doubt that this game in Denver is a turning point. A convincing win would put me on cloud nine, a bad loss and it will be a long season.

Reggie brought in Hagan when Criner became hobbled and Moore was out.
There’s your Vet WR.
He couldn’t know that DHB would get knocked out, and Criner would remain hobbled and that Streater, as of today, would have an neck “issue”.
I’d say He took reasonable precaution, and has added another WR (Gurley) to the practice squad as a result of Criner’s lingering ankle, and DHB’s concussion.
Appears pretty diligent to me.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:52 pm
my biggest concern is denver’s 2 losses were to super bowl contenders. This week will tell us everything about our defense and is Palmer the qb who completed 6 out of the last 7 3rd downs against Pitt or the QB who was 1 for 12 against Miami. Dmac typically plays well against the broncos , its up to the line to hold its own.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:53 pm
Best case scenario is we picked up a sackmaster probowler from last yr. in Carter.
I’d like to believe that he’s 100%.
Usually probowlers don’t have trouble hooking up with a team the next season.
September 28th, 2012 at 6:55 pm

Reggie will get at least 3 years to put together his team. He seems to be good at spotting LBs, and deserves credit for getting goodsen for nothing. I dont think he did a good job in the secondary, and i personally dont rate criner, streater, and hagen as high as everyone else. IMO, if all 3 were waived today no other team would pick them up on waivers. Time will tell if Streater and Criner are the next rice and Clark. the bottom line is the players decide games, and must make plays. We have enough to win if our secondary doesnt get torched.the game .

Apples and oranges. Streater was criminally underused at Temple, which resulted in him not being drafted. I thought I read somewhere that he had a few UDFA offers, and Reggie talked him into coming here.
Plax, on the other hand, is a known quantity. And 32 teams have said “Pass.”

I hope we don’t into a debate trying to discredit every one of our wins the last two yrs. again.
I love that one. “Well, a bounce here or there and we’re 5-11 instead of 8-8″ Or…”We barely held on to win many of those games”.
It’s true. “If we hadn’t have scored more points than the opposition we would’ve lost…period”.
September 28th, 2012 at 7:24 pm
Last thing Raiders need is a crap azz like Plex. Dude had his time and now it’s over. We have plenty of WR’s and tight ends, and RBs who can catch well.
If the Giants cut him there is a reason why. It would be like us hiring that worthless Housh last year.

That sounds more like $$ Money “Business”. Different from being a Diva. A WR Diva is taking plays off or yelling at the QB because he did not throw the ball to you. Kind of like Moss or T.O back in the day.

I agree Hagen 3 catches were good and I hope both him and streater develop, but our WR corp has a long way to go . Imagine if hartline played for the raiders and had 10 catches in 1 game. he’d be the next fred biletnikoff in here. To me there’s a problem when 50+Wrs catch more Tds than your best WR which happened last year. Or This year carson palmer is 7th in the league in passing yards and our best WR is #82. Mike Wallace had more yards in one game against us last week than any of our WRs have had in 3games…

I do believe that a season is more marathon than sprint. That’s why I think we are going to have a stronger second half of the season than first.

I don’t know the details, $/years.
RaiderDuck? Thanks for the confirmation too.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:05 pm
no coulda woulda shoulda..we agree that its all about Tds and getting the job done. Not overglorifying a Wr bc he has a few nice catches.
————————————-
Cool.
It’s all about production.
We can both see that clearly.
The rest is opinion, and I respect yours.
Peace!

My jury is still out on Reggie.
I HOPE he turns out to be a GREAT gm.
He has confidence in himself…you have to in his position.
It makes sense he would want HIS GUYS, but he has to be smart enuff not to get rid of guys just cuz they are ‘Al’s guys’.
His focus should be WINNING…nothing else.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:16 pm
I myself really like Reggie’s background but until there is a sufficient amount of cap to work with and draft selections to use, my judgement will be reserved.

err, that doesn’t read right. point is, we can’t even start talking about RMcK’s legacy for another couple of years…
September 28th, 2012 at 8:23 pm
Whut up beyotches!!!
September 28th, 2012 at 8:25 pm
The guys who really won that game for us were Wheeler, Pat Lee, and Joselio Hanson.
I can’t remember Wimbley, Routt, DVD or Chekwa ever causing or recovering a turnover.
I don’t doubt ReggieMac at all so far.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:26 pm
None of those guys could make an open-field tackle either.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:26 pm
Reggie wants to GM green bay style. I was hopin the man would take the Al Davis Raiders Football to the next level. Told ya’ll my biggest fear is we become just another vanilla team that wants to play by the rules and get along like all the other teams. We the Raiders man! Play like it now, Com’on Reggie.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:28 pm
I betcha every damned team is glad the so called ‘refs’ are back cept Oakland. The leagues first memo was prolly to protect PM and watch out for those Raiders. They dirty. What a joke.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:31 pm
” Told ya’ll”? really? Can you prove it?
September 28th, 2012 at 8:32 pm
We takin a back seat right now, so winning in that shіt heap in denver is a must.
September 28th, 2012 at 8:32 pm
Instant gratification is welcome, but not realistic.
Reggie is doing the hard work of putting the financial house in order, garnering draft picks, and working the scrub wire for incremental improvement.
He is not, and will not be perfect.
The moves he’s made to date, are small time (lower level roster type) moves.
He’ll soon be able to flex some financial and draft muscle.
AFTER that has occurred, I’ll Praise or Rip.

Hey KK, how ya doin? If we can get to the bye week at 2-2, I think we may roll thru the season pretty darn nice. This game is a must win cuz we need it for the standings, team morale and to validate what big Reg is tryin to do, even tho knapp is making that a bit difficult.

Everyone there knows that since you are a Raider fan you, 1) Have a criminal record, 2) Most likely you’ve either killed or severely injured people, 3) You’d pop your mom in the chops if she ever said anything negative, and 40 You are most likely armed & dangerous!!!!
That about sums it up!

on the NFL Network playbook Sterling Sharpe picked the Raiders, and B.Baldinger and Donavan Mcnabb picked the Broncos.
Sterling thinks McFadden has a big day and interior Seymour and Kelly could get to Manning. McNabb felt Manning would get flat routes to the FB Gronkowski and in routes to Decker against Huff and a depleted secondary.
I agree. How Raiders stop Manning on First down will be key. McFadden will need huge game, and odds dont favor a career 7.3 per carry average in THIS Knapp led offense.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:02 pm

September 28th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
Raiders need to mix up their D on manning and stack 6-8 in the box and pressure him. If manning cantrol his offense, he will control our D. Its that simple.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:09 pm
7.3????????????????????????????????? WUTTT
September 28th, 2012 at 9:10 pm

Didn’t stack that box last week against Rapistberger… what makes you think Tarver will be any different this week?
September 28th, 2012 at 9:16 pm
What is knapp talking about criner having a hard time grasping the offense all you do is run 5 yards and out or five yards and in.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:18 pm
At least it’s no longer Krapp’s offense… since midway through Qtr 3 of Week 3’s game it’s been CP3’s offense. OH YEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

September 28th, 2012 at 9:29 pm
I don’t who it was that was calling Berman a “hater” but he just picked us to beat Denver 24-21 and added his famous “the Raaaaaaaiderrrrs”.
After listening to his MNF broadcast and picking us two weeks in a row against supposedly “better” teams I would say he’s no “hater”.
In fact, I always thought he was a fan…He loooooves givin’ it to Tom Jackson whenever we beat the Donks.

September 28th, 2012 at 9:34 pm
Bring back Cable. Look what he done for seattle. We need the pimp hand back. ZBS needs some pimp hand.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:34 pm
I’ve never heard that Boomer is a hater, only that he can’t call games (NFL – no; MLB – no; HR Derby – aw hell naw) and that he’s best suited for SC, Post- and Pregame shows and replays (which I think is true… I love the “WOOOP” anytime someone fumbles or bust out for a long gain).
September 28th, 2012 at 9:36 pm
Bring back HueJax. Dude was a play makin artist. If we cant beat denver it’ll be because HueJax has there number and we aint got it no more.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:37 pm
Berman picked us last week too.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:37 pm
I still think one of his best nick names was for Raider WR- Alexander “if lovin’ you is wrong, I don’t wanna be” Wright.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:37 pm
Damn we were right where we needed to be last year and the year before. If we had Gruden, HueJax and Cable, 16-0 easily cruisin.

Raiders 41 Donkeys 17
Followed by fierce long-term contract extension talks between The Reggie and Knapp.
September 28th, 2012 at 9:43 pm
lol us guys arguing about streater.
Just to remind u nobody wanted Arian foster, Nobody wanted James Harrison, Nobody wanted Victor cruz, Nobody wanted tony romo, Nobody wanted Tramon williams, etc (FA)
To illustrated it further. No other team wanted Denarious moore for 5 rounds .. it took 1 team Raiders to bring him here.
Reggie has selective guys he wants to bring in. AL never brought in plax, T.0. Al said in the later years he wanted all the young guys to play.
No one guy is gonna make a difference on OFFENSE in 3 days of practice. Defense is different. Offense u need to be in sync
September 28th, 2012 at 9:43 pm
and Eric Davis is always showin love to the Raiderz
