Carter making Raiders debut Sunday; 3 players out
By Steve Corkran
Friday, October 12th, 2012 at 1:41 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Coach Dennis Allen and defensive end Andre Carter confirmed Monday that Carter is going to make his Raiders debut against the Atlanta Falcons.
How much Carter plays depends upon the situations that arise in the game. Given the Falcons attempted 52 passes last Sunday, it’s likely that Carter will have ample time to play for the first time since he suffered a season-ending quadriceps injury for the Patriots last December.
“I’ll be part of the rotation,” Carter said as he prepared to board a bus for the ride to the Oakland Airport. “Just to be a part of this defense is something that’s very special to me, and I’m just glad to be back after a long, long recovery through this injury.”
Allen also used the word “rotational,” when describing how Carter will be used.
“That’s how we’ve handled the defensive line anyway,” Allen said. “You have to try to limit the number of plays that they play, especially playing a team like Atlanta that throws the ball like they do. You want to make sure you keep some fresh rushers out there.”
Carter said he isn’t sure how many snaps he will get. But he’s ready for whatever defensive coordinator Jason Tarver throws his way.
The Raiders managed only three sacks through their first four games. A proven pass-rusher like Carter figures to provide some much-needed juice to the Raiders defense.
Carter said his vast experience in the NFL will help expedite his transition back to the field, as well as help his linemates.
“Myself, Richard Seymour, (Tommy) Kelly, we just have a lot of years of experience,” Carter said. “We’ve played a lot of crazy battles throughout this part of our career and just talking to younger guys. Every game is always going to be a battle. No win ever comes easy. You just got to earn your keep quarter after quarter.”
– Allen said Kelly held up well in practice today and that he expects Kelly to play Sunday, despite Kelly being bothered by a sore foot.
“Just looking at him today, he looked good,” Allen said.
– Right offensive tackle Khalif Barnes (groin), cornerback Shawntae Spencer (foot) and tight end Richard Gordon (hamstring) will not play Sunday, Allen said.
– Michael Huff will start at cornerback for the third straight game in place of Spencer.
Allen said Huff is making progress in his transition from free safety.
“No. 1, it’s the confidence of going out there and playing,” Allen said of Huff. “It’s a different world out there on the edge. There’s not nearly as many things mentally that go on on the edge as there are at safety, yet there’s a whole lot more physically that has to happen. So, he’s improved in that area.”
Huff is learning via trial by fire. He faced Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger in his first game at cornerback, then followed that up with a game against Denver’s Peyton Manning. On Sunday, he faces the red-hot Matt Ryan.
“I didn’t get to ease into it,” Huff said. “I didn’t get any mediocre, just normal QBs. I get all the great Hall of Famers. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. To be the best, you’ve got to play against the best. So, kind of learning on the fly.”
– Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey said it’s all systems go for Sunday, as far as he’s concerned.
Now, it’s just a matter of team doctors and Allen signing off on Heyward-Bey’s return to game action three weeks after he suffered a concussion against the Steelers.
“Right now, the plan is to go into Sunday and see how I feel,” Heyward-Bey said. “Hopefully it’s a go.”
Allen said earlier this week that he anticipates Heyward-Bey playing. Heyward-Bey said his mind-set is that he’s going to play.
“That’s totally up to coach and them,” Heyward-Bey said. “My plan is to always have the mindset to go out there and play.”
– Former Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon used to say that he knew how the Raiders were going to play based on how they practiced on the Friday before a game.
Allen said he is of the belief that you have to take into account the entire week of practice. From that viewpoint, Allen said, the Raiders are primed for their game Sunday.
“You kind of have a good feel for how things go in the week of practice,” Allen said. “But Sundays are odd. You never really know what you’re going to get on Sundays. The flow of the game dictates a lot of that, but we’ve had a good week of practice. We understand that we have a huge challenge going to Atlanta this week and we’ll see how it plays out on Sunday.”
– A victory over the Falcons on Sunday is the kind of win that could have a lasting impact on their final 11 games.
Beating the 5-0 Falcons, on the road, would have the potential to drive home the point to the players that the Raiders are capable of beating any team in the league, given the Falcons are considered a legitimate Super Bowl contender.
“Obviously, if you’re able to win against a team like Atlanta, it provides an extra boost of confidence to your team,” Allen said. “But, again, you can’t live from week to week and get too high and get too low. This is a marathon, it’s not a sprint. We’ll go, we’ll play the game, we’ll take the outcome as it is and we’ll move forward from it.”

“You never really know what you’re going to get on Sundays.”
Eh, not a big fan of expressing it that way. I think i get what Allen’s trying to say, but it makes it sound like it’s a coin flip regarding what’ll happen Sunday. There should be more control on what product comes out on the field. I understand things come up, but the coach shouldn’t just “hope and pray” the team shows up each week.

Yeah, it just pisses me off that things got so bad and we didn’t have any money when we could of gotten players that could make a difference.

Just show up and compete for 4 Qtrs, that’s all I flippin ask…
October 12th, 2012 at 2:08 pm
A great week of practice means nothing. We still have minimal talant. Your telling me our D can stop M. Ryan, J Jones, R White, M Turner and T Gonzalez? We need to put up 40 points to have any shot in hell.
October 12th, 2012 at 2:08 pm
DA: “This is a marathon, it’s not a sprint”.
Does this wordsmith have ANYTHING original in his vocabulary arsenal?
At any rate, it may well be a “marathon” but you lose Sunday and you’re 1-4…You just fell down at mile 6 and out of the race for the finish line.
I’m sorry but they need to have a little sense of urgency here.
Not very motivating when he says…” We’ll go, we’ll play the game, we’ll take the outcome as it is and we’ll move forward from it.”
Wow. Move over Knute Rockne.

On another note it was hard watching the A’s season come to an end yesterday. But damn proud of the fight in em.
Were suppose to finish in last place.. but won 94 games.. played as a team .. worked hard alot of rookies and guys harldy making big$$$ yet they earned every cent they were paid n more.
Won AL west.. took a high payroll team into deep waters. Oakland A’s great season.
All us fans ask of these Raiders is that they try and go all out.
I realize the Raider players already are facing an uphill battle with this coaching staff.

Next week will be another week of hearing ” have patience, we are close, a block here or a block there and we will break it wide open”. Then we will beat Jacksonville cause they are terrible and we will hear “told you so”.
Bottom line is we don’t have enough talent to compete with most teams in the league.

man the raiders are going to get beat bad on sunday i am a true fan but lets be real they can not compete with this team we have a safty playing corner and our mlb sucks. the coaches have taken our best weapon and made him the worst back in the league. i love my team but they dont have a chance to beat this team. we are not good and were getting worse not better atl will score 30 we may get 13. DAM we suck and its nothing anybody can do about it.
October 12th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
Really hoping the team puts in the same effort it does in the second half as it does in the first.
October 12th, 2012 at 2:31 pm
Remember the second Art Shell era, when the players said before the game they had the best week of practice in their lives, and they were primed for a win, then they would get pummeled and the game would be over by halftime?
Allen is beginning to sound like Shell, lets hope they don’t get pummeled on Sunday.
October 12th, 2012 at 2:35 pm
I agree with the talent theory, but my concern is with the talent in the sidelines. Knapp is not an OC, he is a decent QB coach with an awful playcalling track record…
The D needs to pressure the QB, plain and simple, if the expensive Dline can’t get it done then blitz the LBs and safeties, cause our DBs cant cover for zhit.
October 12th, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Helluva run by the A’s.. To bad they had to face Verlander twice, dude makes Chuck Norris look like a florist..You A’s fans out there should be very proud of your team, they fought hard…
Now, have they gotten the sod laid over that ugly assed infield, yet?…..
BTW.. The game will be on Fox ch.11 in SOCAL.. Able to watch from my lay-z-boy at home , with a bloodymary in one hand, and the remote in the other. Just in case it gets ugly early….

Those stats alone are very indicative of the real problem.

DA needs some second half adjustments to get this team rolling in the second half. If Carter can put some pressure on the team then hopefully it becomes contagious and we get some sacks.
October 12th, 2012 at 2:55 pm
Raiders’ brass has changed nothing since the onset of the bye. The result: nothing will change:
Atlanta 41,
Raiders 14.
October 12th, 2012 at 3:03 pm
I hope this Andre Carter guy has some juice left in the tank. We need some pass rush BAD!
Anyone know if we rotate Shonasty over to Houston’s side (LDE) on passing downs to make room for Carter? Or are Carter and Tollefson going to come in at LDE and RDE respectively?
October 12th, 2012 at 3:05 pm
Hey Cork!
Any word on what side Carter was lining up on when running with the 1’s? Inquiring Raider fans wanna know the details. LDE or RDE? Who came in/out?

Shocking if you compare final results.

Who ever said we don’t have enough talent to compete is crazy.we have pretty much the same talent we had last year and were a game from the playoffs and now we are not anywhere close,that’s coaching.miami,rams,skins are just a few teams with way less talent than us that show up every week.

I would caution against believing the hype that a sudden boost from the pass rush will be a magic carpet to victory in hotlanta.
More often than not, relying on cast off retreads i major roles means you will not be very good. case and point hansen, lee, and carter.
hansen and lee are horrific, they dont tackle they dont cover, they arent speed burners, and would be relegated to the 5th and 6th corner roles on most teams, if in the nfl at all. This is no doubt why they were available in the first place. An example of two guys that have never sniffed starting caliber play in thier careers. This is not a matter of dbs that are simply hung out to dry by the lack of pass rush. In fact it is two guys that are constantly targeted as the weakest links in a very weak defense. Even at thier very best, and aided by a explosive pass rush they would not be good enough against the atlanta passing attack.
As for carter, at least he has been a very good player at various points of his career. The deck is stacked against him bursting on to the scene again in midseason off the street. Age does not treat pass rushers kindly, even the most gifted hall of famers usually fizzle in their early 30’s. Injuries also have taken their toll on carter, this maybe why he was free to walk and unemployed. Carter at his best was very good, but never a superstar. he will not be able to provide the instant upgrade by simply managing to produce the occasional sack or pressure. He is low on gas, long in the tooth, primed for insignificance.Just like the rest of the defense.
October 12th, 2012 at 3:42 pm
Malosos 20 Halcones 13….Besa mi culo, putos
October 12th, 2012 at 3:43 pm
Yeah Mistic, can’t argue that. We’re hoping (at least I am) that Carter can provide SOME pass rushing skill and in doing so maybe keep Snonasty and Houston, etal, fresher for longer. Surely you can see how that helps the defense as a whole.
As far as the DBs go, not much we can do about that now. Starters are hurt, backups aren’t very good and ALL those recent draft picks of DBs have culminated in nada….
October 12th, 2012 at 3:45 pm
If we win the toss again, do we defer yet again? Seems teams have no issue marching right down the field for early scores on this D, then we are backed up right away and feel the need to force the pass. Need to stay patient with the run against Atlanta or it good get ugly trying to go blow for blow in the passing game.
October 12th, 2012 at 3:46 pm
Or it *could get ugly. Friggin auto correct.
October 12th, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Watched the whole ATL/WAS game..if Ryan is given ANY kind of time he will shred the secondary. Gonzales will have a field day vs Slomo. Knapp will be too predictable.
ATL 35

This is the type of game where a ball control offense will come in handy. Run the ball, eat clock, and keep their O off the field.

At this point I think if the team intends to keep the wco and zone schemes then you stick with the run no matter the score. I believe you employ this tactic even in the face of consecutive 3 and outs. The reason has been pointed out here before, this team has lost its identity, and has not gelled with the new direction.
I ma not as concerned with the outcome of the games this year, as I am in establishing something we can build on going into next year. Just as we did two years ago at the end of the season. Jc regained the starting role they played some good games down the stretch and carried into a very good start the next year. They established a power run game a potent quick strike passing attack. You could see it formimg in the come back win vs the rams, and by the time we opened played the bills the following year, the offense was clearly a power house.
If the future is zone run with dmac, then run it until the wheels fall off. Focus on being good at one aspect, then build on that.

Agree. Our only hope here is long time-consuming drives with no mistakes, and hope for a mistake or two from their O. If not, I could be getting to my yard work by halftime.

this is the kind of article that exemplifies what i have been saying since last year now.
People that bought into the just add carson, instant upgrade theories are now left grasping desperately for solutions, no matter how ludicrous.
Palmer was not going to just waltz into our locker room and lead us to the playoffs.
There were far more problems last year than just the defense. it was Jc and that potent offense that masked many of them.
Palmer is playing better in the dink and dunk knapp offense then he did in hue jack and saunders vertical game.
Much more is required then simply having healthy receivers and dmac matched with palmer, and leadership is one of them.
Now people that expected super bowl parades and confetti showers are lost.

I wonder if these numb nuts we call the Defensive Coordinators will mix in a blitz once in a while. The most pathetic thing I saw in the Denver game is the unwillingness to blitz an extremely immobile QB and instead let that f’cking egghead have his way. Dude was playing target practice and not one f’cking blitz.
Dude’s like Brady and Manning have to be blitzed consistently and shown lots of different looks. It is the only way to get them off their game.
If this team decides not to blitz Matt Ryan they might as well forfeit because it won’t be a fair fight.
Reggie I sincerely hope you told DA that you want to see more blitzes than one every 2 or 3 f’cking years!

Mistic, thanks the belly laugh! I haven’t laughed that hard all week.
“Jason Campbell” and “potent offense” in the same sentence. Ho my abs are hurting…
October 12th, 2012 at 5:05 pm
You can say Huge Jackson’s “potent offense” and Darren McFadden running wild in a “potent offense” but sadly Soup was merely a really good hander-offer and a pretty good play-faker. But the guy couldn’t even slide without blowing out a ligament….
And I like the guy fine. Think he’s a solid dude, much respect for his person. Just not a “potent” quarterback.

Go RAIDERS!
Big win on Sunday!

And the Offense now is sooooooooo potent? Lol.
October 12th, 2012 at 5:23 pm
I have an odd sense of calm confidence about us beating the Falcons this week. No real X&O reason behind it, just the sense the Falcons have been scratchy of late, against less opposition, almost losing, they have the bye next week, they could mentally drop this game, come in a bit flat like the Steelers yesterday.
And, if the Raiders just fixed their play-calling issues on offense, we could sustain more drives and thus score more points and keep our defense off the field at longer intervals than in previous weeks.
2-3 and a game behind the division lead if the Broncos handle the Chargers too.

zbs is going to get banned…defensive players suggesting their knees are just as valuable as a qbs knee…unequal treatment in the workplace
****************************************************
That crap should’ve got banned when coach McKittrick started teach cutblocking and legwhipping to his undersized lineman. Cut blocking had been banned and legwhipping was illegal but they incorperated both to slow down aggressive fronts. They said if they’re concentrating on their knees they can’t rush the passer. In fact Howie Long stopped him after the game and tried to knock him out. They were legwhipping in a preseason game and Bill Walsh laughed about it.
The fortyniners have always been a dirty outfit who disguises themselves as classy when in fact they are always doing things like this. Bobb McK starting all this cutblocking crap under Walsh because Walsh loved smallish quick lineman. That’s how they beat the Bears in ‘84 23-0. They knew they couldn’t block them so they did everything they could get away.

this is the kind of article that exemplifies what i have been saying since last year now.
People that bought into the just add carson, instant upgrade theories are now left grasping desperately for solutions, no matter how ludicrous.
Palmer was not going to just waltz into our locker room and lead us to the playoffs.
There were far more problems last year than just the defense. it was Jc and that potent offense that masked many of them.
Palmer is playing better in the dink and dunk knapp offense then he did in hue jack and saunders vertical game.
Much more is required then simply having healthy receivers and dmac matched with palmer, and leadership is one of them.
Now people that expected super bowl parades and confetti showers are lost.

Let me ask you something. Do you seriously consider this “article” a serious example of sound analysis?
October 12th, 2012 at 6:04 pm
I don’t think we are going anywhere this year so I’m not that concerned about beating the Falcons.
What I would like to see is the OL opening holes and McFadden gaining more than two yards per carry.
The defense making some plays that keep us in the game.
Basically, be in the game for four quarters.

Beeechy Bugger,
You are an embarrassment to the blog. The only thing you can do is lie and sexually assault unconscious victims.
You absolutely, positively don’t have a solo album coming out called Wrecks N Effects because you are no hip-hop artist, singer, composer, performer. Wrecks N Effects was a rap group coming out of NYC in the late 80’s. They have a copyright on their name. They are real rappers and have real commercial contacts behind them.
Also, nerd, you did not hump “4 strippers in the poop chute for over 45 mins”. That was Antoine and the boys, remember? Gay Lover was calling you at that time. You eat turds for lunch, and are anally fixated.
Tweeb, you are a fraud and a charlatan. There is no DJ FreshBeatz who holds and standing in the music world.
You are a log smoking, c.m licking, glazed donut faced little bugger.
Now run along home and be sure to stop by In and Out for milk, and visit Samo High bleachers for possible unconscious victims.

… It’s hard to explain why Oakland Raiders running back Darren McFadden isn’t as explosive this year. Perhaps he’s not a fit for zone blocking, but he’s also not as dynamic when he gets in space. … The Raiders’ cornerbacks are so bad that it’s hard to evaluate the rest of the defense. Linebacker Rolando McClain remains a problem.

Hey, if we don’t lose by 29 points, that means the offense is getting better. That means the players are executing plays. That means we just need to be patient a little while, but unknown amount of little while, longer.
But if Palmer can take over the offense with the no huddle and audible out of the called plays, hey, we got a chance. A very good chance.
October 12th, 2012 at 10:47 pm
As soon as the players can execute plays, (and thats a big ‘IF’ considering the scheme) our coaches will look like brilliance. To bad they (the coaches) weren’t bright enough to design around the strengths of the current player personel, else they could have looked like brilliance like right now.
October 12th, 2012 at 10:50 pm
If we get blown out of the water in Atlanta, the only positive I see Allen proclaiming is that we are not yet mathematically eliminated, with yet being the key word. And the fact that as soon as the players can execute plays, we’ll just keep rebuilding until they get it right.
October 12th, 2012 at 10:52 pm
Dennis Allen gives us fans all the excitement we can handle. In regard to the Atl. game he said:
…” We’ll go, we’ll play the game, we’ll take the outcome as it is and we’ll move forward from it.”
If that doesn’t get u fired up for Sunday…nothing will.
October 12th, 2012 at 10:57 pm
I remember the great Vince Lombardi said it best when he said:
“we’ll take the outcome as it is”.
He used to really preach about the importance of accepting your lot in life and the futility of reaching for better things.
October 12th, 2012 at 10:59 pm
…” We’ll go, we’ll play the game, we’ll take the outcome as it is and we’ll move forward from it.”
—
DA is saying clearly that the outcome of the game is unimportant. Whatever it is…win or lose, we’ll accept it humbly and go on to the next game unaffected.
“It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. That’s the message I want our players to understand.”
October 12th, 2012 at 11:01 pm
F it. Im tired of thinking about what the RAiders are not good at. I just want these playeers to play with heart.. desire. You would be suprise about how good this team could be. Im sure they would also be suprised how good they can be.
They need to play as a TEAM THOUGH. thats the only way. I know u cant compare sports. But look at what the A’s just did. Team full of rookies and nobodies yet they loved the game and competed. Who cares that falcons are 5-0. Raiders just need to take their best shot.
Carter should help. Get em!!
October 12th, 2012 at 11:05 pm
I can say this honestly. I was happy for DA when we beat Pittsburgh…but….right now at this moment, I never disliked a Raider HC more than this guy.
I have criticized every Raider coach since Flores at one time or another but I have never had the disdain I have for Dennis Allen.
…” We’ll go, we’ll play the game, we’ll take the outcome as it is and we’ll move forward from it.”

Yes I do want the “rah rah”. It’s a part of why sports is so exciting. To me anyway.
I would like a coach who shows some confidence in his team, and his own abilities.
Just cuz the “rah rah” didn’t work for the coaches you mentioned (by the way I don’t recall those coahes ever eing “rah rah” but all the same) I don’t recall ever hearing a player say he was disappointed in his coach for trying to motivate the team.
October 12th, 2012 at 11:24 pm
well, I guess you’ll just have to accept that what’s exciting to you isn’t exciting to all fans.
You know what I find exciting? The “pass-happy” Patriots being top 6 in the NFL in rushing this year.
Their constant evolving, solid coaching, and kicking other people’s a$$es. While Bill B. says nothing.
I find that exciting. Scoring, defense, winning. Entertaining.
October 12th, 2012 at 11:25 pm
Rex Ryan exciting to you? I’ll take John Harbaugh in Baltimore, who I cant remember ever hearing speak.
Blah.
October 12th, 2012 at 11:29 pm
Some people hated Hue Jackson. I was ok with him.
Some people like DA and his emotionless, blase approach to the game. That’s not why I started liking sports and continue to enjoy it.
I like the characters, the oddities, the rivalries between the fans and the teams..all of that.
Some don’t. We all like sports for our own reasons and that’s ok.
Maybe i’m taking it wrong, but he sounds like a guy that is already chalking this up as a loss. That’s just my take on it.
October 12th, 2012 at 11:30 pm
Well guys, after almost 2 solid weeks of kavetching, analyzing, crying, begging, etc., I think it is time to take a day off.
Remember these are the Raiders. They’ll do the wrong thing everytime and break your heart. It is only a game.
In my business I meet some particularly stupid people and have no idea how they ever rose to any power position, since everything they do is wrong or a mistake.
What I tell them is do the opposite of their initial thought and they’ll always be correct.
The Raiders’ staff could use that pearl of wisdom right now.

I’ll see him as a realist who won’t keep thinking we’re THIS close to turning the corner and only need minor tweaking.
He actually GETS IT and sees how bad of a franchise and roster we’ve had for a decade, and knows it’s a LONG haul to find legit linebackers, corners, defensive ends, D-schemes, guys who know how to play zone, etc.
He sounds like a guy in reality.

Rex Ryan exciting to you? I’ll take John Harbaugh in Baltimore, who I cant remember ever hearing speak.
Blah.

Yes. I find Rex Ryan to be an interesting character. Ditka too. It’s those guys that add to the flavor of the game imo.
It doesn’t mean I “like” Rex Ryan, but I think his unique approach and demeanor adds to the interest factor. If for nothing else to give added incentive to see him fall on his face.
It’s entertainment.
If every coach and player were robotic entities simply going thru the motions of an athletic event…without any emotion, sports would be way less popular than it is..becuz it would much more boring.
Even to a successful franchise like GB, the fans experience is a lot more fun when guys are doing Lambeau leaps and discount double checks. Fans love it, cuz it’s fun.

Yes. With the Raiders i’d rather win more than anything, and i’m not wanting DA to behave like an out of control jerk for my amusement, but if and until he starts putting out a team that puts out a decent effort week in week out he will remain just a boring, cliche spouting robot that can’t win football games.

Well ‘coach’ it’s 10 game season now and your chances are slim to none. You know it, we all know it. You will get blown out and you better hope CP or McFadden just don’t get hurt.

Nobody was in denial that the defense was bad… and would remain bad. Most of us just hoped with the things Allen promised (multiple sets, attacking from all angles, being unpredictable) the defense would improve despite having horrible players. None of that has came to fruition as of now. The defense has become even MORE predictable. Every time we show blitz we blitz, etc.
But all of that wouldn’t matter if they hadn’t destroyed the offense. We’d all be watching shootouts instead of blowouts.
Its not easy taking a top ten offense, plugging in a BETTER franchise QB, and being one of the worst offenses in the NFL.
Its almost comical that we could have such inept play-calling that Carson Palmer’s offense is as anemic as JaMarcus Russell’s.
October 13th, 2012 at 9:47 am
can’t believe that idiots are still longing for the offense that was COMPLETELY INCAPABLE of scoring in the 2nd half of games. Dennis Allen has 1 comeback victory under his belt already.
HOW MANY DID HUE EVER HAVE?
Hue’s offense was mediocre at best, never capable of winning more than 8 games or making the playoffs.
also, please remember that it took Hue’s offense 7 weeks to do anything “explosive.”
a buncha you b!tches threw in the towel after week 1 this year, longing for the bygone days when it took us 7 weeks to click.

Courtesy of RaiderDamus, aka RDreamer @ SilverandBlackPride. Supposedly Dennis Allen has made some ‘tweaks’ to the rush game. Considering there has been exactly one good rushing play so far this year, I hope the ‘tweaks’ include ‘discarding the entire rushing gameplan and making a new one that works’.

Consider this:
Raiders sign DVD and Chekwa as CB after Nnamdi (the greatest NO SHUT DOWN, shut down corner in football) goes away. AD was smart not to re-sign Nnamdi because of his lack of production – at that time a measily 9 INT’s in 8 seasons. However, genius AD pays Nnamdi a ridiculous sum before cutting him, so ridiculous Raiders become a laughing stock. Nnamdi, the mediocre producer he is, is now the butt or Philadelphia’s ire.
But AD replaces him signs the youngsters, both of whom are a complete bust.
Then Reggie signs Spencer and Bartelle, both whom play the first half of the first game, Bartelle breaks and shoulder and Spencer “tweaks” his foot and is still out.
Now how is that for some brilliant wheeling and dealing?? That is Raiders’ luck, as it goes.
That is why we have to destroy everything, scorched earth policy, nothing but bare earth remaining, rebuild from scratch.

“Obviously, if you’re able to win against a team like Atlanta, it provides an extra boost of confidence to your team,” Allen said. “But, again, you can’t live from week to week and get too high and get too low. This is a marathon, it’s not a sprint. We’ll go, we’ll play the game, we’ll take the outcome as it is and we’ll move forward from it.”

Lets break this down. ‘If” your able to win (big ‘if’ huh?) ‘But, again,’ (but again lets be real here), ‘we’ll move forward from it’ (or you just might move backwards, we’ll see). Heap Big Lawg knows that 75% of the offensive plays called vs Pittsburgh were no huddle (win) and 0 no hudddle ve Denver (loss). But we’re rebuilding so that shouldn’t matter. Meltdown.

KK,
Really, we have to raze Raider headquarters with D-9 bulldozers, then bring in the loaders, fill the trucks and haul the debris away to a landfill, just like we do when a mass-murderer has killed numerous people in his/her home, such as John Wayne Gacy. So horrific were his crimes, they knocked down his house and now it remains an empty lot.
It just so happens that AD perpetrated a massive fraud on the fans, taking their money for tickets and memorabilia for 25 years while producing only failure.
His freakish spawn is now doing the same.
Once the Romans defeated Hannibal and then his son, they razed Carthage, utterly destroying it, then salted the bare ground and land that remained. That city, to this day was never rebuilt.
We need to do the same regarding the monstrosity known as the Raiders. AD, under the control of a horribly diseased mind pulled off an unparalleled fraud, destroying talent, ripping off the fans, and wasting the time of all.
We need to be free of it.
All in favor of a smoked earth policy: say aye!

The Raiders had 47 sacks in 2010, 39 in 2011 and will be lucky if they top 15 this year. No.1 problem, coaching, No.2 problem Kelly has his contract and hasn’t played up to his $$$$$ 7 sacks is decent for a DT but not at his price if he wasn’t so expensive we could have kept Wimbley, No.3 we miss Kameron Wimbley’s pressure and 8 sacks per year. Most of all the Defensive co-ordinater Tarver does not seem to understand D line stunts and blitzes leaving our guys our of position and not providing enough pressure to help our corners. I think the steelers corners suck but they look good because of the pressure. When your front 7 play like the Texans, Ravens and steelers you don’t need a top 5 corner at each position!!!
It would also be great to have the power run game that Cable implemented in 2010 giving us the only year in this millenium we had more 1st downs than our opponents. My final piece of advice is Allen, Knapp and Palmer need to figure out how to convert 3rd downs. That has consistantly killed us.
Thank you and may I live long enough to see another Raiders super bowl VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Consider this:
Raiders sign DVD and Chekwa as CB after Nnamdi (the greatest NO SHUT DOWN, shut down corner in football) goes away. AD was smart not to re-sign Nnamdi because of his lack of production – at that time a measily 9 INT’s in 8 seasons. However, genius AD pays Nnamdi a ridiculous sum before cutting him, so ridiculous Raiders become a laughing stock. Nnamdi, the mediocre producer he is, is now the butt or Philadelphia’s ire.
But AD replaces him signs the youngsters, both of whom are a complete bust.
Then Reggie signs Spencer and Bartelle, both whom play the first half of the first game, Bartelle breaks and shoulder and Spencer “tweaks” his foot and is still out.
Now how is that for some brilliant wheeling and dealing?? That is Raiders’ luck, as it goes.
That is why we have to destroy everything, scorched earth policy, nothing but bare earth remaining, rebuild from scratch.
KK,
Really, we have to raze Raider headquarters with D-9 bulldozers, then bring in the loaders, fill the trucks and haul the debris away to a landfill, just like we do when a mass-murderer has killed numerous people in his/her home, such as John Wayne Gacy. So horrific were his crimes, they knocked down his house and now it remains an empty lot.
It just so happens that AD perpetrated a massive fraud on the fans, taking their money for tickets and memorabilia for 25 years while producing only failure.
His freakish spawn is now doing the same.
Once the Romans defeated Hannibal and then his son, they razed Carthage, utterly destroying it, then salted the bare ground and land that remained. That city, to this day was never rebuilt.
We need to do the same regarding the monstrosity known as the Raiders. AD, under the control of a horribly diseased mind pulled off an unparalleled fraud, destroying talent, ripping off the fans, and wasting the time of all.
We need to be free of it.
All in favor of a smoked earth policy: say aye!

I am at least being productive while posting by eating tortilla chips and watching NCIS. Don’t agree with you much, and we’re all fed up with losing, but I had to call you out on the ’smoked earth policy’. Suppose I could be more productive by drinking Malibu Rum, but I prefer to spend good money on good booze, or less money on alot of cheap booze, but not good money on cheap booze. That’s just me. Drinking PBR right now. Quantity over quality. It’s a budget thing. How’s that for full disclosure.
October 13th, 2012 at 3:43 pm
11 games left. I’d say the Raiders have to win 9 of them to make the playoffs and/or win the division
if we lose tomorrow, that’s next to impossible

October 13th, 2012 at 4:15 pm
E,
you’re right man. I still think we need to win 10 games this season
that’s 9 of the 12 remaining.
Still gotta play San Diego & Denver again – plus Cincy & Baltimore
October 13th, 2012 at 4:17 pm
the good news is, if we find a way to beat HOTlanta … the next 3 games are Jaguars, Chiefs & Bucs !
October 13th, 2012 at 4:23 pm
I get the feeling the Falcons only game plan is to shut down Darren McFadden and blitz the crap out of Carson Palmer on obvious passing downs..
since our O-Line is trash, that shouldn’t present much of a challenge for them. Knapp & Pollack have got to find ways to be more creative (try not to laugh) and mask the flaws of the subpar players there

October 13th, 2012 at 4:36 pm
Sure, if you try to foment dissonance by posting lib vs con crap like kk and mr, or just posting crap like mr, or posting under a slew of sock puppets that get called out as being mr, well then, you will be mentioned more often than an average fan talking or arguing about Raider football. So that takes care of kk, mr and albert. As a football blog, method to my madness would be up there, as would seymour bush and, unfortunately misterbrown. Possibly boscembechlerjackson but he may never recover from us losing a game because our long snapper got hurt.
October 13th, 2012 at 4:38 pm
Oh, I forgot beech. Probably for a good reason.
October 13th, 2012 at 4:39 pm
Wouldn’t it be something to sneak past the Falcons and have that momentum spring us to wins in the next 3 winnable games?
We would then be sitting at 5-3 and actually have a shot at taking the not-so-special AFC West.
I’m praying for the best, and genuinely hoping that we can at least see some competitive football for the next 4 games.

Whether it be KK’s political links, MR’s constant negativity, or Beeech’s partybro storyline. It has gotten stale and predictable.
October 13th, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Sorry, RaiderE, went on a tear there. I’m with you 100% and were we to play hard and well tomorrow and come up short, we could still be 4 and 4 down the road and my passion would be rekindled. Lay another Miami/ Denver egg and I’ll be an interested fan, and no more, ’till next season.

Raiders block a FG at some point during the game, also force a fumble on Turner & DMAC runs wild
How do I know this?

Bigsnow81 is a female dog,..admits he missed games due to blackouts,..so hes close to the coliseum, but instead of going to the game he misses it because he cant lay on the couch and watch it,…total loser,..when they go to LA you cant look at fans like him as the reason why.

+++++++++++++++++++++
The less the previous picks of 2004-2009 have in terms of impact – Fabian Washington, in particular, the more likely you take chances on getting proven players. – you have to have a number of successful picks consecutively, and the coaching turnover and lack of GM ultimately undermines the whole deal.
Consider the last pro-bowl draft picks taken at 1 – Nnamdi Asomugha (1st, 2003), then before then Charles Woodson (1st 1998) – the fatal pick was Robert Gallery taken at 2004 – bypassing Ben Roethlisberger, and Sean Taylor – that, and JaMarcus Russell – 1st 2008 were disastrous.
were lucky, because we finished 8-8 twice despite a bust that should&ve had us even worse. Some teams NEVER recover from a first overall pick bust at QB – most notably Cleveland (Tim Couch).

So, the Raiders made NO moves. Does this mean they have basically given up? Or that they think they can make something happen with the returning players they will have?
+++++++++++++++++++
I’m wondering will they just play out the season with what they have, get a high pick (take Barkley or Jarvis Jones or Star Louleilei) or trade down to stack players to build a Texan version of 3-4, and add some parts.
projecting a scenario like this
pick 4-7 – Barkley, Geno Smith, Louleilei
then adding players late like Margus Hunt (SMU), CB Blidi Wren-Wilson (U.Conn), Zac Stacy, RB, Vanderbuilt, Luke Marquardt, OT, Azuza Pacific, and free agents like Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, S Charlie Peprah (once they eject high priced holdovers Seymour, T.Kelly and possibly moving Rolando McClain to a 3-4 team for a pick)
October 13th, 2012 at 6:44 pm
The pnly game i can recall missing was the game verse the Eagles. The defense played really well and shutdown McNabb. I missed the first half of the Vikings game last season. I listened to it on the Radio.
October 13th, 2012 at 6:45 pm
I pray the Jags game is blacked out so losers like Big cant watch it then come to a blog and cry about it.
October 13th, 2012 at 6:45 pm
What a bunch of hate filled wankers on this blog.
October 13th, 2012 at 6:46 pm
Seymour was a waste of a first-rounder. Yes, he improved the D for awhile, but so what? We still didn’t make the playoffs.
October 13th, 2012 at 6:46 pm
Kepp flapping your gums.
October 13th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
Bigs,
I agree with you that Reggie should have ate the $7.5 million rather than pay him $15mil to stay
but as far as cap hits are concerned, he restructured to vet minimum
October 13th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
I was at that Eagles game,..west side club,…was great…sorry you missed it. Must have been a slow week for you panhandling I guess.

what pick COULD we have with an impact? maybe OT Nate Solder – we already had Veldheer, right? ok, MAYBE Prince Amukamara, Gabe Carimi, Jonathan Baldwin (ZERO impact at KC), i mean, Andy Dalton probably would’ve been the pick, and he’d back up Jason Campbell.
But would they REALLY have gone QB again after missing so badly on JaMarcus Russell?

And thats what pick you would’ve taken…you arent thinking. – they needed an impact player, a proven one and they paid for it. New England advanced BECAUSE OF TOM BRADY and a competent TEAM oriented approach and a non-interfering front office person.
im not saying you are wrong, i’m just saying hind sight is 20/20 and you are putting it ALL on Seymour. The past BAD PICKS; IMO were a culmination of failed moves due to Al Davis; Randy Moss, corner MeAngelo Hall, already suspect corners like Fabian Washington, taking Kerry Collins instead of drafting Ben Roethlisberger…not taking DeSean Jackson – we could go on and on.
its your frustration talking…think, and NAME THE PLAYER we should’ve gotten instead of Seymour.
thats the issue.

yeah, it smacks of desperation, but it really is the culmination of failed picks dating back to 2004 *Gallery OUT OF THE LEAGUE now. – he was cant miss, and supposedly, so was Jake Grove who was taken 2nd.
it was a roll of the dice, and it was craps from 2004-2009 as far as the draft was concerns. FA is always desperation…

I think Bartell and Spencer were very good at their jobs. I would’ve paid more for a better corner but I’m not GM. 30 years old is not too old, but one could question picking up two guys coming off injuries. Interesting that both their injuries this year were totally unrelated to their past injuries. Don’t think the Reggime made a bad move there, just got damm unlucky.
October 13th, 2012 at 7:27 pm
Oh, that politics would have allowed us to demote Hue to OC with Saunders by his side. Could’ve been something. Fire Cable if necessary and bring in another head coach. Dammit, I think we were close.
***
yeah, Purvis. either that or just leave Cable there and take the chains off of him. Al Davis ran everything. Look at all the freedom Dennis Allen has. Probably why Grandpa Davis chose to do things himself – you get a bright young motivated coach that has excellent references who aces an interview .. then after he’s hired find out he’s in WAY over his head. what do you do?? Let him sink your team, because he’s still getting on the job training?
best bet for Reggie was hiring a PROVEN, VETERAN coach. I don’t care who. It could have been a retread like Billick, Fassel, Green or Shell for all I care. just somebody that knows thier stuff. Then Reggie should have been a part of the OC & DC process instead of just letting the HC decide on whoever he wants, just to soothe his ego and make him feel like it’s his team

@Purvis
Bartell & Spencer got abused before they got injured. impossible to project them being world beaters or even serviceable “if healthy”
October 13th, 2012 at 7:33 pm
Evening Raider fans and others!
Hey Purvis, what was with the big list of names?
October 13th, 2012 at 7:35 pm
You all need to shut up, and listen.
I want a essay, 5 pages long, on why you believe you are not the biggest wanker on this blog.
In your best cursive.
use proper grammar.
Don’t make me repeat this.
You have 7 min.
I suggest you get started.
October 13th, 2012 at 7:36 pm
bartell and spence are both a 3rd corner at best
October 13th, 2012 at 7:40 pm
Most of the posters here can barely print, much less use cursive. And proper grammar? On this blog? Raider fans?
Get real.
No, Bob, not your gramma, grammar.

yes – that is why no other teams wanted them and why we got them so cheap
I don’t think these guys are any better than CJ37 & Sheppard

476,
Thanks Blackside. There is debate, as u know, on whether our offense was really that good in the first place last yr.
I have maintained doing as well as we did last yr. on offense (w/o McFadden) and with a QB that was still getting his bearings and only utilizing half the playbook, that we were pretty good on that side and just needed a bit of “tweaking”.
Some feel that our offense needed much more fixing.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
DJ,
I think the Raiders’ offense, even without DMAC was fairly solid last year, especially since Bush ran well after DMAC went down.
Also, Hue knew how to use Reece and others in unique ways while Knapp is clueless in that regard.
With tweaking we could have had a dynamic offense, especially since CP has gotten over the throwing of bone headed INT’s.
We could have introduced the ZBS slowly, as another scheme complimentary to power blocking and we would have been set on that side of the ball.
Reggie, DA, etc. would have had to worry about the defense only (for the most part) thus saving us seasons and seasons worth of grief.
^^^^^^^^
Yep. McK and DA screwed up! That is rather obvious now.

Serious question.
If his name was Stefan Walton, instead of Stefan Wisniewski, would we be as patient and as fond with him?
He lead the O-line in penalties last year, is doing so this year as well, and doesn’t seem that great in the run-blocking area.
Good not great, IMO.
=======
I thought Wiz was a beast last year at Guard. Played well at Center also. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, since he missed a schit load of reps.
+ it takes a while for the zone blocking to get going
^^^^^^^^^
Another screw up by McK. Should have kept Satele on the cheap and kept Wiz at LG and Wiz can also fill in as the backup to Satele at Center.
Brisiel was a way overpaid pickup, when Satele could have been kept at a bargain.

That’s right, I’m an adult, who is choosing to drink right now and will eat later. You didn’t have that choice, did you, bigs no? Mom said ‘dinner’ and after you ate you came back as the sullen1. Gotta love it.

An ayurvedic cure. Ricky Williams quit football to study ayuverda right here in Grass Valley and was still an adherent of the green. Monday morning my renter says some guy was smoking or rather vaporising with him ,her and some others on Friday night less than 100 feet from my house and said he was a footballer named Ricky Williams. Checked it out and showed him google pics and he said yeah, that was him. Man,I was pissed. If you ever see Ricky Williams, ask him about the llama ranch in Grass Valley and he will not remember me because I didn’t get to meet him. True story.
October 13th, 2012 at 10:40 pm
That’s okay. As I’ve told you all before, Jim Otto is a llama guy and I’ve had the pleasure of talking to him several times at a couple of alsa/lana shows in Quincy, Ca. Raider O, you do not know your sock puppets. That was MR.
