So far it looks like our Defense has gotten the memo–Our offense however, looks just as bad, if not worse than ever. The biggest problem from what I see is the lack of imagination and creativity on the offensive side of the ball. DMAC is NOT seeing the holes as they open, or present themselves, and our Line is not keeping Palmer upright. Getting Palmer pounded on the regular and DMC just playing absolutely horrible are what is holding this team back right now—Knapp calls the most conservative game plan in the league and it just gets completely stuffed till we are so far behind that Knapp just says “F’It” and bypasses himself in order to let Carson run the no Huddle and call his own plays based on what he is seeing, not what Knapp “THINKS” he is seeing…

This Knapp dude has got to go–if he can’t get Goodson or Taiwan, or even T.P some carries in this ‘Vaunted’ offensive juggernaught of a scheme then he needs to be run out of town..Get your playmakers in a position to make plays…Stringing out DMAC to the sidelines time after time after time is an exercise in futility. You don’t think we should try and ISO him on a backer from the slot, or Taiwan 1:1 on a slot corner or crappy OLB from time to time. Come on man! Where is the game planning??

Dungy went on to get another what, super bowl championship?

Indy was his first, if your logic OS correct, then Gruden’s tram also went to the super bowl our Raiders that is was Gruden’s not Callehans’ he proved that the following year.

Huff has vastly improved at cornerback.

Houston’s best game today.

Moore proved he’s Raiders’ most productive player.

Reece incorporated into the offence finally.

wow..and i thought a HC actually took responsibility for entire team. Hue had authority to trade for palmer but no authority to replace chuck b or get involved in the D game plan? cmon…if Hue doesnt get a HC job next year will you finally give in? I mean if hes such a hot commodity someone would recognize his genius beside you?
————

well give chuckies SB To Dungy and MKiffin and give Bill Billick SB to Marvin Lewis but wait… Chucky and Billick oversaw the WHOLE TEAM well both of those guys got fired shortly after the SB THEY SAW OVER and Dungy went on to get another an Marvin Lewis Has Brought the Bengals up to respectability. Hue wasnt the problem smart guy.

The difference between 2011 and 2012 is coaching and scheming, plain and simple.

Most of the starters return and those who left did it because we didn’t want them, so starting personnel and key players remain basically the same and any changes were made because of our coaching staff and GM decided so.

So, we sit at 2-4 after 6 games when we were 4-2 last year with the following averages:

2011 Offense 25.6 ppg-Defense 25 ppg.
2012 Offense 18.8 ppg. -Defense 28.5 ppg.

That’s a huge downgrade, you can nitpick stats and try and spin it in many ways, but that’s the bottom line, we got worst.

This 2012 team looks in disarray, if Hue was coaching it, everyone would be blaming him for such a bad on-field product, the double standard here is beyond ridiculous.

Failure to execute comes from practice and Coaches run practice, teaching and making your players better is also a huge part of coaching.

It’s not easy having a 36 year old son with a multitude of personalities. The other day he was yelling at me like John Harbaugh, about how great the 49ers are, whilst wearing a Raider hat. It breaks my heart! He disappeared after tonight’s win and the lithium, along with his nicely pressed Sponge Bob Pj’s await him.

Your son was trying so hard to save face on this blog and keep you a secret. And then… Today happened.

You might need to tuck him in tonight.

Reggie’s homeruns:
Burris 5th round draft pick
Streater UDFA
Wheeler FA veteran signing which has turned the Linebacker corp and WR corp into solid, productive units for the Raiders.
=———–
burris very good pick, wheeler is good but does miss some tackles, way too early to lable streater as anything. 2 catches dont make you a starting nfl wr. i did think he displayed some excellent potential though..well see

HuJack is history. He’s no longer here and not likely to make his way back. He did some really good things and a few blunders too. That’s all over. Move on. We have rwal problems on this team to deal with & interjecting HuJack into the discussion is fruitless.

There’s a saying that no matter what color you paint a turd, it’s still a turd. We got a couple or three turds now on staff. They are bringing us down badly. How do we get rid of them? It’s time to flush these losers and become the team we need to be. If we wait too long all we get is a ring around the bowl & that’s not the ring we are looking for.

Wish in one hand & schit in the other. You know which will fill first.

You know what we all know. The question is how long will it take for DA to act on the obvious. If he waits too long & really loses the team & fans, he may be cutting his own throat by doing nothing. If he’s going to be the leader, then lead. Otherwise get the hell out of the way and let someone else lead.

I hear you. But can we feasibly make that change in the middle of the season and change our entire offensive scheme from ZBS to power blocking?
