DT Kelly joins sidelined players
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, October 11th, 2012 at 12:05 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly is not practicing today as a result of a sore foot. Not sure if this qualifies as a setback, given he practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.
Fellow starting defensive tackle Richard Seymour still is battling a sore knee. Therefore, it’s likely that primary backup Desmond Bryant will see more playing time inside, with rookie Christo Bilukidi also in line for more snaps.
The fact Kelly is watching practice bodes well for his playing Sunday. If his foot was severely hurt, it’s doubtful that he would be standing around on a cold day.
– Right offensive tackle Khalif Barnes (groin), cornerback Shawntae Spencer (foot) and tight end Richard Gordon (hamstring) are the only other players on the 53-man roster unable to practice today.
Of the three, Gordon is the one with a best chance of playing Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Even so, he hasn’t practiced at all this week, so coach Dennis Allen, no doubt, would feel a lot better about using Gordon if he gets to see him on the field Friday.
– This is the day of the week that offensive coordinator Greg Knapp and defensive coordinator Jason Tarver speak with the media.
So, stay tuned for their takes on how much progress the offense and defense made during the bye week and what changes they made, if any, to help jump-start their struggling units.

Our offense needed an identity from last year.
One week we rush for 170 yards, the next week 50.
One week we score 34 points, the next week 13.
Not saying we gained an identity so far, at least not a good one lol, but you couldn’t count on anything offensively last year.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
That happened after we lost DMAC. He was 1st in yards and YPC before he was injured. You can’t say we didn’t have an identity when we were top 5 in rushing yards.

Hopefully he’ll be ready for the Jax game or after. IMO, he was playing the best outta our garbage secondary. Him going down, really took a blow to the D.
October 11th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
Now is a good time to cut and try to get some draft picks for Kelly and Seymour now. Also not a bad idea to get rid of McClain now too. Raiders cut loose Meatoga a DT, need to bring him back and put him on the line in a rotation, guy was a beast for Cincy in preseason. We are getting no production out of Kelly and Seymour.

If we have to face a 5-0 team on Sunday, I’m glad it’s the Falcons. This team smells like a fraud to me. It took colossal fckups from Cam and Haruki Nakamura to escape at home against the Panthers. Palmer isn’t the run/pass threat Cam is, but I’ve got to think coming off a bye we’ve got some tricks up our sleeve. And if we can just get a little pressure on Capt. Longneck, he’ll fold like a tent. With the best supporting cast in the NFL around him, we’ve got to “cut off the head”. DA knows that. Have a feeling about this one. Gonna take the Raiders for $50 on the money line.

The best thing could happen with TK and Seymour as far as trying to trade them now or whatever, is for them to leave this offseason and have another time sign them (the key part).
Supp draft picks baby!!!!
We will get more that way than via a midseason trade.

October 11th, 2012 at 1:27 pm
I’m assuming the only reason Kelly and Seymour are on this team is because we would have still had to pay a good amount in guaranteed money even in we had cut them due to their ridiculous contracts? At least Seymour bats down a pass now and then. Neither one of these guys has impressed me much as pass rushers this year. They suck.

Really?
So can you tell the difference when they are in the game or not, because I really can’t.
Seymour has a presence at times, I can see that sometimes. But it’s not like we will replace a Pro Bowl $14 millie per guy with some 7th round draft pick and hope it works.
Seymour will be replaced by a 1st round pick, or a failry expensive FA, ideally younger.
October 11th, 2012 at 1:38 pm
eastoak, youre right but i think da nuetered them with no penalties…id rather have them playing aggressive….
October 11th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
Nothing personal about Kelly but he has not made any real impact on the team since he became a starter. I think he’ll be cut at the end of the season unless he gets a truck load of sacks. As for Seymour he has been a non-factor for two seasons. His best play was socking Big Ben!
October 11th, 2012 at 1:41 pm
The problem with Seymour, is that he does make plays, but they seem all too often to be in the first half, or even sometimes the first drive or two.
Where are the big 2nd half plays? Other than the blocked kicks in KC, I can’t think of any.
I think he got the sack against Ben late, but that was more of a coverage sack and Ben ran into him, more than an overwhelming pass rush that blew up a play.

Our defensive line has been a team strength the last few years. Not so much this year. Shaughnessy really has been ineffectual which is a bit of a surprise. Many a person thought this would be the breakout year for Matt and expected to see him at the Justin Smith/Jared Allen level.

Nothing lost with both Kelly and Dick Seymour not practicing, in fact they shouldn’t be on the field against the ATL on Sunday if they didn’t practice during the week, but we all know Junior, both will start and again be worthless.
October 11th, 2012 at 2:12 pm
Agree on Houston.
Stout, at times, against the run, but he disappears a lot.
He does hustle down the field though, I do like that about him. Just not enough pass-rush.

Yes, but the inability for the Offense to pick up 1st downs hurts the defense.

He was asked Monday how he planned to get his team back up to speed quickly after a week off.
“Getting back out here and working and getting the timing back both offensively and defensively and even in the kicking game,” Allen said. “Just getting back out here and playing football again.”

How does a middle linebacker do that? And why he is not taken out in the sub packages is beyond me. He is a COMPLETE liability in the passing game.
October 11th, 2012 at 2:48 pm
DA’s job was to implement his system (first and foremost) and be successful at it.
There is no nothing outside of his system, either it fails and he gets fired, or it doesn’t and he stays.
There isn’t a HC in the league that would be willing to have his GM come in and cut him off at the knee’s and tell them to do something else.
Just the way it works.

October 11th, 2012 at 2:55 pm
I didn’t say Goethel was good. At least he’s going 100% and I feel less ripped off when the D gets torched. But I don’t agree Goethel < 65% McSlow.
Last time we saw him play, he had the woefully out of position Wimberly, Groves and Trevor Scott playing OLB in an Al Davis 1975 Dscheme. Not exactly a glowing chance to show your stuff…

Indeed.
He actually looked pretty good the first game. Now he looks slow and clueless. And one would think when he jumps a running gap that by sheer dumb luck he would pick the right one every once in awhile, but I have yet to see it. He has the football intuition of a 10 year old. Its almost staggering how often he takes himself out of a play.
Are Allen and Tarver watching different games than us fans? Nothing gets fixed… and there is absolutely ZERO reason for him to be in the game on 3rd and long. Not only can he not cover, he will miss the tackle allowing just enough yardage for the first. We’ve only seen it 300 times in three years.

I can’t believe what a dissapointment Rolando McClain has been. He’s getting up in the same conversation as Jamayonnaise in my book. If only cuz I was hoping Al would pick him and I was happy when he did. Now turns out I was wrong. WAAAY wrong. Despite the frequency of it, I hate being wrong….
October 11th, 2012 at 3:04 pm
I just remember watching Goethel play in preseason and some in 2010, and seeing guys blow past him like he was in quick sand.
He might be better with plays in front of him and stuff, but even with the Slo-graze of Rolando McClain, I still think he gets sideline to sideline faster than Goethel.
I would bet money on it.

Can’t wait to hear Tarver and Knapp…Tarver inherited a D ranked 29th (yards) and has improved it to 25th, not amazing stuff.
Knapp did the same thing, took the 9th ranked O (yds) and turned it into the 25th!
so I guess we must be at best the 25th ranked team, with our special teams being the laughing stock of the NFL and all.

I often wonder if McClain came from this system in Alabama that was heavy on the system and being a “good study” at MLB, that he never really learned to read and react THE PLAY, outside of his system.
You never see him break off his responsibilities and make a play. He will just chase the RB 40 yards down the sideline, and probably towards the cheerleaders if that’s where the RB runs to.

Skins say they aren’t going to change their offense.
Well, look forward to about 35 career starts for RGIII, not quite the ROI you were looking for on the draft.
You can tell me he is 6′2, 215 all day until your blue in the face, he looks small on the field, and gets decleated in the pocket more than any other QB I could remember.
You have to play him in an NFL offense, he can spin it beautifully. What’s the point of this rinky-dink circus act, it’s not like he is running this option breaking off 35 yard runs.

Jano’s got a bum groin which may never be the same. Coverage is better, but returns have been a flag fest or stupid fair catches and run outs of the endzone. We have lost battle of field position miserably this season. Even in the B&B offense we had that going for us….
