first…. to say DA is no coach….
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:39 pm
gotta jump out on these guys before they get any life in them. I don’t think Quinn has the heart to comeback. we should beat them convincingly, quinn isn’t ready for the rivalry

=========================================
He’s learning. He’ll be an excellent coach for us for years.
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:40 pm
And that’s not coaching??? Please.
————————————————————–
That Wiz let’s a blocker go right by him untouched?
Don’t think that’ coaching.
Veldheer and Smith pass blocking skills? Not sure how edge blocking is the coaches or scheme’s fault.
What % of responsibility do you put on these PRO players?
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:41 pm
who the heck can this three stooges led team beat convincingly? no one…
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:42 pm
Hopefully they show up in KC.
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:43 pm
Now there are certainly times when I’m saying WTF was that on Knapp’s calls.

Satele is massively better.
=======================================
I said that and 95% of posters here wanted Satele gone.
——
Not I. Won’t find me in that list. I expressed early on my reservations about letting Satele go and moving Wiz over.
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:45 pm
this is the idiot coach who cant manage the clock, had no backup snapper, keeps hitting his head against the wall (or mcfaddens), has no clue about reece, will sit on curry for two more weeks, laughs with fox after getting reamed, and keeps bending over for krappy…you guys can keep bootlicking this ex donkey all you want but the proof is in the record…
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:45 pm
I just don’t see how people look at the running game as the same personnel.
LG is same player different position, never have played there. C is all new to his position. RG was not on the team and the current RT wasn’t on the team either.
TE is mostly different, Schmidtt at FB in goalline is different, backup RB is different, and the lead-back is coming off a Lis Franc injury so he is not the same.
There is literally nothing the same outside of Veldheer.
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:47 pm
especially the system…
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:48 pm
Satele was part of the problem last year.
Needed to upgrade C, RG, and RT play from last year. Because those positions are not playing well this
year, doesn’t mean they played well last year,
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:48 pm
For those of you getting comfortable with the KC game…
1) KC always plays us tough and vice versa, no matter what the records
2) They are coming off a bye
3) Quinn may stink but don’t underestimate the adrenaline boost from a change at QB
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:49 pm
We seem to have no problems in KC, it’s when they come out West that we stink up the joint.

It’s always a battle. Yes, we’ve been trading wins in each other’s house, but never easy. Except for the Boller/Palmer fresh from the couch game (easy for them). Will that be the case for us against Quinn? Quite possibly. But dont be surprised if it goes down to the wire.
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:53 pm
We should not be taking any team lightly. They have not shown any consistency in any of the 3 phases. They certainly aren’t going to just show up and overwhelm teams with their execution and talent.
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:53 pm
Life as a Raider fan. Nothing is ever easy. Cardiac Raiders.
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:54 pm
did anyone see that girl pat the ball player on the butt when he went into the stands?
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:54 pm
I don’t know if it is the players or the scheme, but the run blocking is horrible, and that is leading to the d line teeing off in their pass rush.

Maybe it was Satele not being 100% and having to make up for Carlisle.
I think Wiz will be fine.
October 22nd, 2012 at 4:57 pm
Well, I am off to go watch world championship level baseball.
Enjoy the snivel-fest

October 22nd, 2012 at 5:01 pm
So what are the excuses now about our poor running game? Anything from the coaches yet? I don’t see it improving from here on out, if we’ve yet to figure of the problem-Knapp.
Anyhow, gutsy win and nice comeback. This team in the past would have given up and taken the loss.
Go Raiders!
One game at a time.
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:01 pm
palmer needs to ignore krappy…he is the only guy out there with huevos…if he hadnt convinced da to go for it, it wouldve been another loss…
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:02 pm
Also, does anyone find it hilarious that people are wailing and gnashing their teeth over DA’s tenure with the Broncos? Imagine if they were around in 1963 when we gave the combined head coach/GM spot to a Chargers’ wide receiver coach…
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:04 pm
Like I said earlier. For all we know Mark Davis could fire some guys himself at the end of the season .. u never know. and u never know how D.A’s contract is written.
Im just saying DA is trying to win ball games.
Reggie can do what he wants.. but Mark Davis is the Ulitamate Boss. The Top man. So he can do what he wants and we really dont know which way he will lean in the future.
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:05 pm
chargers are not the donkeys…
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:07 pm
Looks like the Jags lost more than just a game, they lost MJD and Gabbert for next week as well.
Im calling this new defense the carted-off defense
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:08 pm

October 22nd, 2012 at 5:09 pm
DMAC flea flicker back to Pryor running outside with Jones as the option!!!
I know, a bit much. Still wish the coaches would figure out a way to utilize some of these guys.

THE ONLY REASON OAKLAND WON WAS DUE TO THE QUARTERBACK WENT DOWN, AND WENT DOWN HARD. 666
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:12 pm
Stefan Wisniewski (-7.1) had been having a solid season until he faced the Chargers. He allowed a pair of pressures in pass protection to Cam Thomas and Antonio Garay as well as a hit to the former which was only negated by penalty. Overall he finished with a pass blocking efficiency of 96.3 on the season, just below average for guards. It was his run blocking which was so disappointing however as he allowed five tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage. Wisniewski graded at -1.0 on six occasions in just 24 plays, an alarmingly poor stat.
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:12 pm
THE BENGALS WERE THE NEXT BIG THING,..PLAYOFFS,..THEY WERE GOING TO BE AWESOME,..THEN HUBERT JACKSON ENTERED THE BUILDING. 666
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:14 pm
Wiz was playing with a broken shoulder last year. Pretty sure that factored in somehow.
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:14 pm
I alwaysfelt Al would get Cutler at some point.
I dunno about now but I like watching him throw.
He has a wicked ass arm

I can’t stand Cutler but I agree, he does have a nice arm. Reminds me a bit of Jeff George.
October 22nd, 2012 at 5:18 pm
This is from Pro Footbal Focus, before the Jags game:
The best run-blocker on the offensive line has been right tackle Willie Smith with a rating of +1.3, but no other offensive lineman is graded positively in the ground game.

That says it all right there.

Right very comparable. That Chargers team went to the league championship for 2 straight years and then won it all in 63. That head coach is considered the father of the passing game in the league. That Wide Receiver coach also inducted their best player into the HOF. That Wide Receiver coach also gave us an instant turnaround. Now how does that compare to 2-4 and the 20th ranked defense he had in Dungver, plus hiring the worst OC in football?

On the positive side Burris and especially Wheeler have worked out and Goodson has done more in this little amount of time than Bruce Campbell did his entire time here.

Goodson’s broken off some monster plays. Adams has been an improvement in the returns department. As for Smith, he hasn’t been great, but imagine Barksdale at RT.

On the positive side Burris and especially Wheeler have worked out and Goodson has done more in this little amount of time than Bruce Campbell did his entire time here.
I wan’t to see what Reggie can do with some actual picks this next draft.
—————————–
Goodson’s been pretty good, but I still regret letting Campbell go. He should be starting over several guys on this offensive line.
Burris and Wheeler were great pickups. I’ve said that since the day we got them both. But be fair and look at the whole picture. Those are the only two Reggie pickups making any significant impact. Streater and Goodson are chipping in in limited roles.
Cutting Wimbley and not picking up a speed edge rusher in today’s NFL borders on criminal negligence though.

This is obviously a top-down rebuild, where the system is being implemented and the players need to adapt, PERIOD. Belichick and Parcells always ran their teams this way. This year is our weeding-out period.

most of the guys reggie picked up shouldnt be playing any snaps…unless you like losing…
October 22nd, 2012 at 6:40 pm
I think Goodson’s sample size is too small to make a judgement from, but I would like to see him get more carries to see if his efficiency level holds up.

More than that. Burris, Wheeler, Goodson, Willie Smith and Phillip Adams have all been improvements. In addition, we got a draft pick back for the chronic underachiever Louis Murphy.

Willie Smith has been awful.
Adams nearly cost us the game yesterday by fumbling a fair catch.
Murphy was our leading receiver 2 of his first 3 years before injury derailed him in year 3. We got a borderline worthless 7th-round pick for him.

To me our struggles boil down to two primary factors:
- Offensive line play has been horrible up and down the line. Not sure how this unit got so bad so fast. I was pleasantly surprised with this same unit last year and felt like they were one of the best in the league.
- Absolutely no speed rush off the edge. We’ve got a stout, strong group with guys like Seymour, TK, Bryant, Houston and Shaughnessy. But none of those guys bring quick pressure. So opposing QBs get a minimum of 3-4 seconds with no pressure and nobody in their face 95% of the time. Last year, when we were top half in the league in sacks, Wimbley would frequently apply quick pressure and either get a sack himself, or more frequently, force the QB to step up into the teeth of that oncoming push up the middle.

==============================================
– The cruddy offensive line play can (IMHO) be traced directly to Frank Pollack’s shortcomings as an o-line coach. Nothing we can do about it right now.
– Reggie wanted to keep Wimbley, but Kam was so bloody overpaid and came with HUGE crippling future guarantees. Reggie didn’t really have a choice.

The debates are over now and bloviating over who is going to win the election two weeks from tomorrow will make no difference. We will find out Nov. 6th. One good thing about all of the polls telling us who is winning is that if you don’t like what a poll says, you can always find one you do like.

I sure hope we get the run game straightened out. This to could actually be good.
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:07 pm
JC and Bush both talked up their time in Oakland. They refused to take any shots at Al Davis OR the fans or anything else about Oakland.
They talked about how what a great experience it was playing for the ‘Silver and Black’ and how great the fans were.
They came off as proud to have been Raiders.
(this in an interview on 670 AM in Chicago on a show called Bears All Access).

October 22nd, 2012 at 8:11 pm
DMAC’s lameness is what is making us wish Bush was still here.
I don’t blame scheme for DMAC’s 3.1 a carry entirely.
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:12 pm
Mike Goodson needs 10 carries a game at least.
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:13 pm
My biggest complaint about Knapp is the lack of creativity in the run game. WR reverses are rare, no Reece, surprise runs are rare. It was inexcusable not to give Goodson a few carries after his nice work in Atlanta. It’s like he is content to just ram DMac into a wall. When it ain’t working do something about it?
DMac is struggling and the coaching staff refuses to help him. I don’t care what scheme you to run, but put your guys in the best position to succeed. Most of the offensive coaches have failed so far.
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:13 pm
Goodson has been successful in a small sample size. I would like to see him get the opportunity in a larger sample size.
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:15 pm
I am an advocate of passing a little more in running situations. That way it gets the defense back on their heels a little and makes the run more successful.
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:15 pm
Bush only averages 3.6 a carry.
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:18 pm
Goodson in the backfield. Get DMAC lined up at WR.. the guy is a playmaker. Get REECE / AUSBERRY more involved.
Ausberry look like a MAN out there when he is in plays. He should be a RED ZONE TARGET more.
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:19 pm

You don’t go from 5.5 ypc the last 2 years too 3.1 at age 25 for no reason. The proof is in the puddin my friend, the last time we ran this scheme DMC had several nicknames and none were good , like Mcfalldown, skinnylegs etc… Once we went with a different scheme and had good oline coaching he was a beast and never got tripped up by “blades of grass” he looked to knock people out and deliver the last blow.

It was funny, at the time (before he left) we were in cap hell; then after he was signed, we got about 7 million under the cap. He could have easily signed with us after some of the restructures.
Its either
a) We did not want him at about 3 million per year (even though we could have afforded it)
b) We could not have signed him at the time because of the salary cap
or
c) Rookie mistake –we could have signed him then restructure the cap at the later time

I guess I will get my joy from buying all the cool Championship gear afterwards.
Lesson of the day, when you actually put the ball in play consistantly (*ahem Oakland A’s) you force the defense to show a steady-hand.
At times they won’t.
You have been learned.
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:23 pm
I believe the ZBS can be successful, and if we stick with it long enough it will work, but how long will that take? Will it even be this year?

i agree
he would be a better option at this point in a ZBS than DMC .. sad to say.
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:25 pm
Its clear DMAC is unhappy and cant believe he is stuck with KNAPP again. But he is a pro and is getting paid.. he is not gonna make waves. Its not his type.
This run system is horrible for him. Caters to the mike goodson type alot more. It is what it is now. Hue Jax was the best thing that happened to DMAC.
So either trade DMAC or get rid of Nap at the end of season or b4. Thats the only way i see this ish playing out.

Reddick is a stud OF though, can’t take that arm out of RF, IMO.
Coco is the unique one because he is the only one who can hit leadoff. Young and Reddick are about the same hitter, good pop, whiff way too much.
I can see Coco being the leadoff DH, which I am not sure I have ever seen before.
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:49 pm
I think Paul Molitor hit leadoff and DH’d for the Blue Jays for awhile, until they brought over Ricky.

Here are some questions to ask yourself
Is the defense improving in the last two weeks?
Have the raiders had two fourth quarter come backs down by ten?
Do we have a qb who is in the top ten in the nfl?
Are some of the personnel moves made showing results?
Are we playing good enough to overcome some of the mistakes we make?
The o needs to work more, but hard not to see some encouraging positives over the past two weeks…
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:51 pm
it’s likely someone get traded though. Young could be the trade bait. either way Billy is a smart MF … he can just sit back and field phone calls now. even if he got prospects for Young, he gets nothing but solid ones all the time, especially pitching.
either way, i don’t think we’ll be seeing the A’s give up the farm like we did after 2006. they’re going to build on it this time around.
October 22nd, 2012 at 8:51 pm

all this without their stud pitcher doing much of anything and losing one of the best hitters in the majors shortly after the all star break?
and i am so very proud of Zito. he and VogelSTRONG are studs, and will continue to shut out the kittens in the Series.
October 22nd, 2012 at 9:04 pm
Coco can play the outfield,but he can’t even throw the ball back into the infield.It cost runs quite a few times this year.Any runner automatically took the extra base on any ball hit to center.

On the positive side Burris and especially Wheeler have worked out and Goodson has done more in this little amount of time than Bruce Campbell did his entire time here.
I wan’t to see what Reggie can do with some actual picks this next draft.
—————————–
Goodson’s been pretty good, but I still regret letting Campbell go. He should be starting over several guys on this offensive line.
Burris and Wheeler were great pickups. I’ve said that since the day we got them both. But be fair and look at the whole picture. Those are the only two Reggie pickups making any significant impact. Streater and Goodson are chipping in in limited roles.
Cutting Wimbley and not picking up a speed edge rusher in today’s NFL borders on criminal negligence though
—————————————————
You can blame Hue Jackson for Wimbley getting cut.
The Carson trade used up all of the cap space.

I will take Verlander over Zito in Game 1 any day of the week! That being said, it only takes one 1988 Kirk Gibson miracle to change the whole complexion of a series. The Tigers have more depth in the starting rotation, and a slight edge hitting.

really? Campbell should be starting? Cable was here he couldnt crack the line up. Hue jax was here he couldnt crack the line up last year. THe guy didnt even dress.

You live in Chicago,why do you worry so much about the stadium issue?

I worry about the Raiders period. I want them to get better. I like to see them financially viable.
I’m not advocating moving to LA, which is no doubt what u are assuming since you gave me the condescending LMAO and played the “you’re not from here so stay out of our business card”.
We’re talking about a NEW stadium NOT the old LA Coliseum.
My hope is that they get a new stadium built in or near Oakland.
October 22nd, 2012 at 10:19 pm
DJ, we fans that grew up in or near Oakland are suffering with the Giants and 49ers with new stadiums, and we still are in a 44 year old stadium. You have a valid concern about being financially viable in the future. The Raiders can take the easy route and go play in Santa Clara. I would prefer Mark Davis brings on a “Magic Johnson” type partner and builds a beautiful new stadium on the current site.

The Raiders need a new stadium. They can be very financially viable in Oakland. With revenue sharing and a salary cap, there is no clear advantage in a move to LA. The Raiders belong in Oakland.
October 22nd, 2012 at 10:26 pm
326, That’s what i’m talking about. Personally, I would prefer they stay the “Oakland” Raiders…but I also want them to be a place where free agents WANT to play and would even take less money to do so; or at least choose if all things being equal.
All i want is for the franchise to be successful…in all forms.

Don’t sweat the Raiders moving.
Mark Davis thinks that LA wants us, but they don’t.
Most LA fans want a NEW team or a team that would be a fresh start, not a return of a team that they tired of the last time around. If Mark wants to sell, then who knows, but right now, I doubt his team is in high demand down south, no matter what he says.
Of course if he puts a ‘for sale’ sign up, anything could happen.

Revenue sharing and salary cap are only part of the story.
There’s a reason Dallas is at the top of the heap as far as value. There are revenue streams which are NOT shared. Luxury box revenue as well as local sponsor $$$ do not have to be shared.
Mark sees what Jerry Jones has done in Dallas and all the $$$ he’s generating. He needs a new stadium.
Funny. If you count the past THREE seasons the Raiders actually have a better overall record than Dallas during this span; by one game… but still, and the Raiders have won 4 times as many playoff games since 1996…
Winning will help, but any owner wants to have increased revenue. Mark is no different and he’s not just gonna sit around and say “Ok…I guess i’ll just stay here at the O.Co since the fans are so nice to me”.
Either HE needs to pony up the dough, or he needs help…soon.

Four games into the 2008 season, Kiffin was fired by owner Al Davis and Cable was named the interim head coach.
First 5 games with Cable as HC:
Saints L 34-3
Jets W 16-13
Ravens L 29-10

Panthers L 17-6
Thats a 1 & 4 record in the first 5 games
Same as DA

You said it right there. Value. Is Mark looking to create more value so that he can sell? Then, yes, by all means, go to LA. Everything I’ve read says he’s not interested in selling. And this is an indictment against a move to LA if any. There is ownership at stake with such a move and Mark doesn’t want to give that up. Heck, the NFL isn’t even completely behind the LA setup.
October 22nd, 2012 at 11:34 pm
How many ‘rebuilding’ teams get new stadiums built for them?
Mark is High if he thinks ANYONE who isn’t getting a piece of his 51% of the team is going to give him a 100 million plus to build anything…
Even if he doesn’t think this, he’s prolly high anyway.

You can be a complete idiot, and still be super rich. As a matter of fact, that quality is almost a prerequisite! Mitt Romney is a case in point. Being a blood sucking, snake oil salesman also helps! Mitt is a shark. Sharks have to consume their entire existence. If they stop moving and consuming they die. Mitt wants to be the president to get access to the power of modifying the tax policy. Mitt knows how to ‘close a deal’ and, based on his tax returns, he always wins. I doubt if he has your (or America’s) best interest at heart. He will take money from the masses through a series of policy changes, and inflate his $250,000.000 bank account (s) to hopefully billions, like his donors (Sheldon Adelston, the Kock Brothers, etc.), and give 250K more in tax breaks to his “poor” friends making 3 mil or more per year. Mitt is so out of touch with average working class Americans, that he stated that an income of 250,000/yr is “middle class”! Unfortunately, for every winner there must be a loser. That is where you come in. A vote for mendacious Mitt is a vote for a man who can “close the deal”, with you. This is a win-win, stupid. ‘It will only cost 7 trillion: It takes money to make money, you see. I will build four new Navy ships, keep the Bush (70/30) tax relief intact ad infinitum for millionaires, give 20% across the board tax breaks for all Americans, create millions of new jobs here in America, (while I outsource completely profitable American company jobs to China ….on the down low), and balance the budget! Come on let’s shake on it my republican buddies!’
If you are reading this blog, I doubt you are a going to benefit from Romney’s tax plan! If you don’t make a mil or more per year, bring your checkbook to the voting booth, you are gonna need it.

Palmer said offensive coordinator Greg Knapp tore into the offensive players, as well.
“Coach Knapp was not happy at halftime, so to speak,” Palmer said. “We had a great game plan coming in and we weren’t executing those (as) individuals. It starts with me being the quarterback. You got to execute and you got to execute the game plan.
“Coach Knapp let us have it, and we took it as almost a threat. He was all over us and sometimes you need that from your coach. He picked the right time. He doesn’t always do that but he picked the right time and let us have it and we came together and found ways to move the ball and found ways to score in the second half.”
***
I agree that Knapp isn’t the problem. I don’t think our O-Line coach Pollack is very good and Veldheer & Smith aren’t even adequate zbs OT’s
Palmer has always thrown a bunch of INT’s and our receivers coming into this season were known for drops and routes that weren’t precise. Our TE’s were a bunch of unproven no names
McFadden is playing hurt and (once again) his o-line sucks. Every time he does break a big one, it gets called back due to a penalty
October 23rd, 2012 at 2:54 am
The Jaguars entered the game last in the league with three sacks through five games. At times Sunday, their defensive linemen played like The Fearsome Foursome.
The Jaguars sacked Palmer twice, hit him six other times and spent most of the day keeping Palmer on the run.
“They won the battle up front, there’s no question about it,” Allen said of the Jaguars. “We weren’t able to run the ball effectively. We had too much pressure on the quarterback. That will be something that we will have to look at. We have to get that corrected moving forward.”
***
read that?
hey Reggie, if you’re gonna let Allen choose a coaching staff and then allow Knapp to choose his offensive assts & implement whatever system/scheme he wants then you should give him players who fit and excel in it!!
October 23rd, 2012 at 2:59 am
Allen said McFadden looks like the same player as the one that ripped through the league for most of the nine-plus games he played last season.
“Yeah, he does,” Allen said. “He’s still an explosive player. We’ve got to do a better job of creating some room for him to run. We’ve incorporated a few more of those gap scheme-type plays.”
Beyond that, Allen is like Knapp and McFadden in the belief that the short runs that have been the norm the first six games are about to turn into longer ones.
“You can say this on every play, but we’re one block here or one block there away from a big run,” Allen said. “Really, you go back and look at the Pittsburgh game and that was his best rushing output of the game. He had an explosive run. That’s how you get those big games.
“You have one or two explosive runs in a game and all of a sudden you look up and here’s a guy with a hundred-and-something yards rushing. So that’s what we’ve got to continue to do. We’ve got to continue to work in the running game and I feel that if we continue to hand the ball off to him, those big runs are going to come.”

Dennis Allen blames the “blocking” , not DMAC. I agree
I’m thinking he’s talking about the blocking of the O-Line and not the FB, WR, TE (reading between he lines)

knapp better sharpen his pencil if he wants to beat the Chiefs. Or better yet, turn over the play calling to CP3. He does a better job digging the offense out of hole than knapp does, who btw, puts the offense in those holes.
Everybody knows this. I even heard people saying how is knapp responsible for what the D does. Well, he is. If his O can’t stay on the field, then our D gets worn down and trampled on. Don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure than one out.
New regime apologists should realize this. Reggie and Allens are doing their best, don’t get me wrong. But the inability to improve and see this for what it is is just mind numbing. Oh, and btw, if the new regime is so intent on cleaning up Mr Davis’ picks, then just go ahead and dump the great DMoore and the ever improving DHB. And get rid of DMAC too, you’ve already ruined him.
Anyone who says Mr Davis couldn’t draft talent probably would be a good fit with the Reggie and Allen show. It’s disgusting how this offense can’t win games when we got the talent. The coaching just makes it look bad.
I’ll bet CP3 and DMAC are so frustrated right now they could pull their hair out. Dumping Bush and not having a legit #2 power back is like having a triple crown batter in the three hole and a buck twenty five in the four hole. Everyone and their cats and dogs know DMAC is going to get the ball. why the hell you think he gets stuffed.
And another thing genious OC dude, ever think the offensive formations tip your plays? Where is the damn screen plays? And why so predictable? Run, run, pass, punt.
Now is the time for this coaching crew to rise up and be the coaches they were hired to be. Put a winner on the field. You seem sooooooo damned intent on destroying Mr Davis’ legacy, but have done worse than anything we have ever seen before. Y’all wanted a new GM and new regime and now we got it. Ain’t so pretty is it. Rise up coaches, and show the NFL you’ve got a nut sack. Prove it. Go into Kansas City and come home winners. If the no huddle moves the chains, keeps are D rested and puts points on the board, use it. Don’t be afraid to be winners.
The Jags game was scary. It showed this team has not improved, nor grasps any team concept of what the coaches are trying to do. Not the players fault. Palmer shows time and again he can move the ball with the no huddle, and you the coaches refuse to let him do it. He had to go rogue on Sunday to pull out a win. Wow. And he’s got DMoore who should be targeted more, and DHB who should be a pure vertical reciever. And go to the PBS for DMAC please, that’s his game.
I will give credit to Allen for a slightly improved defense, as long as the penalties are few. I mean after all, they almost shut down a horrid offense (Jags) that any NC2A team could of.
So go into KC and come out a winner, OK? Put the Pride and Poise back into the Pride and Poise. Re-commit yourselves to Excellence. And most of all, Just Win Baby!

I won’t blame knapp for the horrible blocking on his run plays up the gut. But the play calling on 3rd down has been pathetic all year. The throws short of the sticks drive me nuts. Ya ya ya the WR past the sticks is covered, then have a play called where 2 or 3 guys are past the yellow stripe.

*****************************************
1. Look at Al’s draft picks over the last 10 years… how many good players came out of there? I bet its about 7-10% with the rest being washouts.
2. No one is ‘intent upon destroying Al’s legacy’ but I think our record over the last 30 years proves that its time to do things differently
3. You are some kind of genius if you think a new GM with a 40 million dollar cap deficit, and 5 draft picks (none earlier than 97) is instantly going to turn a mediocre team into a contender. You will feel a lot better about life when you realize that the 2011 Raiders were NOT A GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM. They were mediocre. They overachieved at 8-8. They only beat 1 team with a winning record, and that took a miracle.
4. Inability to improve??? You don’t correct DECADES of mistakes and mismanagement overnight (especially with the cap and draft situations we had).
5. STOP BLAMING COACHING FOR MCFADDEN. There is only 1 way to ruin an elite RB. As Al Davis, you put his ass on the bench to rot. If McFadden were elite the scheme wouldn’t matter, he would get the job down. At some point he needs to just start making plays, if he isn’t comfortable in the ZBS, then watch film and learn it. Oh and by the way, since the bye, we have run plenty of man and power blocking, McFadden still ain’t getting the job done.
6. Stop overvaluing the roster. 70% of the roster is AT BEST mediocre. If you step back and honestly evaluate the talent, without your silver and black glasses on, you will realize that important fact.

GOOD MORNING SPORT’S FAN’S..AGREE WITH AN ABOVE POST,3RD DOWN PLAY CALLING HAS BEEN VERY ?? AT BEST.
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:34 am
Hey man, at what point does it fall on the receiver to get past the sticks?
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:35 am
I don’t necessarily buy the notion that a player being elite automatically means they can excel at every system.
Eg, Tom Brady wouldn’t be a good fit for the WCO or an option offense.
Eg, OLmen who are good at ZBS or man-blocking, often do not perform well in the other system at all.
Eg, a good 3-4 OLB often does not perform as a 4-3 DE.
You even have situations like a Tackle or Guard not being able to adjust to the right if they excel on the left, or vice versa.
It is true that the best coaches adapt their offensive and defensive schemes/tactics around the talent they have at their disposal, rather than trying to force players into a scheme.
Look at how many elite vet players have not been able to fit into Belichick’s system, and he has had to cut/trade them.
Reggie gave a lot of lip service about continuing (to some extent) a Raider Way, the Al Davis ideas, etc. It seems that in certain areas he is, but in other areas he is all about making the Raiders “Reggie’s Way”, putting his stamp on it….as a whole new era and new GM would feel entitled to and naturally want to do. However, at the same time, he is more about the “Packer/Wolf Way”, and that’s not a bad thing either (the Wolf part especially). Reggie doesn’t want to be a shell of a GM, in the sense of him just trying to emulate and copy Al, trying to be like him. He naturally has to be himself, have his own vision (that whole must love football, not be a knuckle-head off-field, thing).
Bottom line tho is, Al is much loved, despite his major flaws over the last decade or so. But it IS a new era, new regime, new ways of doing things are going to happen. In 10, 20 years, it’s very possible the Raiders we know and love by then we’re all comfortable with, happy with, and with 10-20 years distance from Al’s death, it’ll be easier to accept, and new gen fans more removed from that Al Davis era.
However, we all do hope/insist many Raider traditions stay on…no retiring of numbers, no jersey changes, that whole mystique of there are 31 other NFL teams and then there is the Raiders, etc. But I do also hope we still incorporate/hybrid the on-field Raider traditions that Al implemented — the take what we want vertical offense, high-octane passing game, the athletic (h-w-s) ideology of being better and beating your direct opponent.
Thing is, a lot of iconic teams have their own style of football. The Bears smash-mouth and MLB-orientated style. The Steelers smash-mouth football. The Raiders vertical offense. Etc. It’s what makes football (both college and NFL) so great, having teams with vastly different strategies/styles competing against each other.

October 23rd, 2012 at 6:37 am
if the QB calls a play in the huddle that dictates a cut or button-hook at 5yds on 3rd and 7…you better do it at 5yds because the QB is throwing it to that spot before you get there.
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:43 am

October 23rd, 2012 at 6:44 am
POST-367..YES SIR.
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:45 am
same thing when the QB reads a blitz coming and you become the HOT receiver…your pattern changes to a quick look instead of going to the sticks.
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:46 am
yeah… that is exactly what is happening. They are calling 5 yard routes on 3rd and 7. Can you tell me how you got such unprecedented access to our play calls in the huddle?
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:47 am
Of course some routes are broken off, dictated by defensive play, but that is a sight adjustment, you cant blame knapp for that.
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:47 am
You can watch any team any Sunday and they will make plays short of the sticks.
The reason is simple. Defense is playing more attention and has tightened up at the sticks so QB’s hit the only one open in the hopes he can make a play and get to the sticks
Every team every sunday does it
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:50 am
NOW IF THE WR COULD BREAK A TACKLE OR MAKE SOMEBODY MISS NOW AND THEN,THAT WOULD BE A MIRACLE..

October 23rd, 2012 at 7:17 am
Trade DMac to the Lions.
October 23rd, 2012 at 7:18 am
In regards to Brady Quinn…
We just faced the worst team in the league, who also lost both their starting QB (who is as bad as Quinn) and their starting RB. So they were playing with an even worse QB in Henne, and Jennings at RB is okay but nothing flash. And we only JUST limped over for the win, due to ONLY the helpful calls made by the officials in those two PI calls. The second one, offensive PI, the Jags would’ve eked forward, kicked a game leading FG with no time on the clock and won. And if we didn’t get the PI call on DHB before then, we were toast.
So, the Chiefs with Charles and Quinn certainly will still pose problems to our current state of play, and our coaching staff’s head-scratching strategies of not factoring in more of Taiwan, Ausberry, Pryor, Reece, etc, as well as poor play-calling from Knapp, and how into week 8 we’re STILL trying to teach players the ZBS.
October 23rd, 2012 at 7:23 am
GG, good point…Charles is leading the NFL in rushing right? We always play it close there…I’m hoping for a statement game!

That’s the one with George Cloney right? I have heard that it was a good movie, just never got around to watching it yet! It will probably be family movie night Friday!
October 23rd, 2012 at 7:35 am
Hwnrdr…
we’ll need to be exceptionally focused with gap assignments on D, because Charles is consistently capable of breaking out long gains. He currently is on track to break Jim Brown’s all-time YPC career record. A lapse here and there on D, it could turn ugly, with the D mailing it in late in the 3rd. And again, it’s imperative therefore that the offense just totally snaps out of their funk. We need to be able to sustain early 1st and 2nd qtr drives, put TDs on the board early. Can’t be doing this thing of Knapp’s 1st half play-calling resulting in woeful returns, and having to rely yet again on Palmer’s 2nd half no-huddle to play catch-up.

October 23rd, 2012 at 8:30 am
Exla,
You out there bud? I just checked our FFL and I see you have about 824 points, which is about 42 points ahead of everyone else….but you are in 6th place.
That sucks lol.
October 23rd, 2012 at 8:30 am
McFadden was held to 53 yards on 19 carries against the Jaguars, the fifth time in six games that he has averaged less than 3 yards a carry. In fact, take away a 64-yard touchdown run against Pittsburgh in Week 3 and he is averaging 2.5 yards a carry on his other 102 attempts.
A year ago at this point, McFadden was averaging 5.5 and leading the NFL with 610 yards rushing.
…..
So, only 1 different player in the offensive line (the same one as last year). McFadden is just as explosive.
But suddenly the O-Line looks horrible in pass protection, and the running game can’t get going.
What else changed except for the coaches and scheme implemented?

McFadden is jealous of other SEC players Jamarcus and Rolando. They get all the hate from Raiders fans. He’s trying to earn ‘bust’ status.
October 23rd, 2012 at 8:39 am
The Raiders don’t have one productive SEC player on their roster. Kelly, Seymour, Carlisle, McBosworth, and McFadden?

October 23rd, 2012 at 8:59 am
McFadden on the Bears would be averaging 5 yards per carry. Bush is averaging 3.6. Reggie was right to let Bush go. He would be playing like crap too with the Raiders.

This is from Pro Football Weekly. Quotes from NFL scouts, coaches, and personnel men.
“Oakland is struggling to pick up some wins over there, but look at the situation they walked into. It’s not going to happen overnight when you inherit no draft picks and you have to cut all these guys that were drafted by Al (Davis) that have speed and no skill. It could be six years before they really have a fair chance to turn it around. … When the receivers started getting hurt, it hampered the offense. Look at their corners — you can’t win with Ron Bartell and Shawntae Spencer. I liked him early in his career, but how long has he been in the league now? It has passed him by. (Aaron) Curry fizzled in Seattle and he has been out. Rolando McClain has had legal issues. They are a little long in the tooth across their (defensive) front with (Richard) Seymour being the best they’ve got. You’ve got to be able to build through the drafts and fill in with a few stopgap guys in free agency.”

Fellas! Only way we loose at KC is if we keep shooting ourselves in the foot, i.e. turnovers and special teams.
KC will try to run it. We have been stopping the run lately (no guarantees with Slowlando in there).
Quinn is closer to Henne than to Matt Ryan, we should stop them.
We will not run the ball on KC, or any other team in this league. Run the no huddle, keep em on their heels.
October 23rd, 2012 at 10:55 am
If we turn the ball over three times and give up a surprise onside kick, we have a chance of loosing.

I remember when you could make money off the games by predicting which teams are going to win. You know, like “derivatives”. Now, only fools would place bets on the present NFL, Inc. Seems now that the bottom line of the NFL is revenue. Parity = revenue. The NFL was trying to cut pensions to the cheater crews of refs, but when the replacements came in and they lost control of the outcome of games, they caved and let the cheater refs keep their pensions, in exchange for status quo. Now we see major upsets every week, keeping almost all teams “in it”! i.e. That bonehead move by Harbaugh shifted millions of dollars out you gamblers pockets into the Casino’s accounts! The good news is that 8-8 can get you to the playoffs!!!

KC does play some tough D though and their at home so imo in order for us to gain control of the game we have to make Brady Quinn look like Brady Quinn and not the other Brady(Tom) the turnover battle should decide this one as I dont believe any O will have a great day. Field position will also be a big key.

I don’t think the general thought before the season was that it’s ok if we lose while we “rebuild”.
Given the uncertainty of the stadium situation Mark does not have the “luxury” of allowing for low attendance and fan interest; things that losing promotes and leads to.
If Mark wants to build a new stadium with public support, as Cork says it doesn’t help to have an underperforming product on the field and less fans in the seats if you’re trying to portray consistent viability.
IMO, I can’t imagine Reggie telling Mark that by installing a new “system” and new HC and OC that “hey, we’re not gonna win much this year…we’re looking at 3-5 yrs. down the line”.
The lack of “major” roster moves suggests the plan was to try and win now with the limited opportunities to acquire top end fa’s and all that’s included with that not withstanding.
I think it’s possible that Reggie, Mark and DA overestimated the time it would take to implement a new ’scheme’ and find success with it.
The reason I say this is becuz losing is never a fun option, but given the tenuous situation it is even more of a bad proposition given the timing.
The Raiders need support to do what they want to do and league bottom dweller doesn’t help things.
Just some thoughts.

October 23rd, 2012 at 12:06 pm
…on the flip side, Mark could point out “hey, look at our attendance and fan interest for a team that came into a game against the leagues worst…even though we came in at 1-4. Imagine what the support will be like if this team starts winning”.

A couple weeks ago, someone asked me why I was critical of TK for being a non-factor in plays where he’s double-teamed.
Check out those links. Houston was TRIPLE-teamed, and even though he didn’t make the play he was disruptive enough to be a factor in it.

**UPDATED NFL NEWS**Source: Carson Palmer & Off Cord Knapp not getting along. Rumors are Palmer starting calling his own plays 4thQ vs Jags
**UPDATED NFL NEWS**Source: Carson Palmer went all “Willie Beamen” by disregarding coaches play calls vs Jags – Called his own #Raiders

now here is what another person tweeted him after
@incarceratedbob was at the game and saw this first hand, Palmer had whole offense on far side bench with pics coaching and knapp lookin on!
- Yeah i heard from a few sources that Knapp was totally shutout by the offense in 4thQ (Palmer leading the revolt)
then i read this

(but ROMO had a smirk on his face like I dont give a damn im about to say this and I know whats really going )… but he said they need to take the PLAY CALLING DUTIES out of GREG NNAPS hands and give it to carson palmer.. let him call the plays. LMFAO.. ROMO is spot on.

Hey there homies, what do you say
Gonna win it all for the Brahs of LA
It’ll take a little will and whole lotta muscle

Tony Bergstrom, G/T, Utah
Height: 6-5. Weight: 315.
40 Time: 5.27.
Bench: 32.
Arm: 32. Hand: 9.
Projected Round (2012): 3-5.
4/24/12: At the Senior Bowl, Bergstrom showed showed off some nice power and quality athleticism. He held his own against the defensive linemen that other All-Stars were struggling with. Bergstrom has the strength to anchor against bull rushes while his time playing on the edge helped him to slide with speed rushers.
The senior was a first-team all Pac-12 selection in 2011. He was a three-year starter at right tackle for the Utes. In the NFL, Bergstrom would probably be better off if he moved inside to guard.
Let him play Reggie

I mean after Atlanta, I actually felt good, I thought they looked the best they had all year. Against Jax… Back to square one. Refs threw us a bone for once.

03/19/12 – Jason Slowey impressed NFL scouts during his Pro Day which was held on the Western Oregon University campus last Friday (Mar. 16). Slowey, along with defensive lineman Sitani Tupou, ran through all the drills and exercises laid out by the scouts to be measured on size, strength and speed. NFL teams on hand to watch Slowey and Tupou included the Chicago Bears, the San Francisco 49ers, the Green Bay Packers, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Tennessee Titans, the Oakland Raiders, the Indianapolis Colts and others. – Western Oregon football

Sadly true that Lechler prob will be replaced, King will cost them nothing.
Then again, Lechler went to A&M with DA
October 23rd, 2012 at 3:31 pm
Agree, ghost. I think many of us realize that getting stuffed by one if the worst run Ds in the league does not bode well for our running game. Also Palmer being under so much pressure by a struggling Dline is also very concerning. While it was a win, it was a step back from the Atl game as you’ve stated.

From what I understood, it was trading players away for draft picks.

Like Palmer said “an ugly win is better than a prett loss” see ATL game
==============
For sure dude….I know. I’m just sayin it wasn’t like when a good team has a BAD day, and they don’t seem to do anything right, but they do just enough to escape town with a victory…Dodged a bullet so to speak. I wish I could say that the Raiders were just having an “OFF” day and played a bad game…. It’s their status quo, and they tease me with performances like Atlanta, and comeback against Pitt….In that case it’s almost like a Bad team having a GOOD day. Just my confidence is dimishing with each passing week. We’re nearly at mid season and still waiting for the O-Line and the damn Zone scheme to “Click”. Still never know which “D” is gonna show up for us. The one that gives them whatever they want, or the one that says “HEll, No, Not today..”

That tells you right there what kind of journalist we have covering the raiders. But he will be changing his ton when Knapp gets fired…

Anyone think the team thought they were going to steam roll the Jags (like I did) and they got caught off guard? On top of that they showed some new wrinkles on D, that weren’t expected. Playing another team coming off of a bye, do it’ll be interesting to see how we rebound from that terrible 1st half showing against Jack.

The zone blocking scheme has come under fire in Oakland, but its critics are missing the bigger picture. The fact of the matter is that it’s a complicated, difficult to execute scheme that can take several seasons to fully implement. Consider Gary Kubiak’s slow path to success in Houston.
That team struggled through several tepid 8-8 seasons before finally breaking through last year as a power in the AFC. As much as Raiders fans want it to be the case, you can’t will a successful zone blocking scheme into existence. It takes time, patience and the right personnel to properly execute. It isn’t McFadden’s fault, nor the scheme’s fault, if it doesn’t immediately succeed.

Sadly true that Lechler prob will be replaced, King will cost them nothing.===================================== I’m sure Palmer or Lionheart could place that ball for Seabass, but I think they should play their entire careers together. A QB fielding the long snap is always gonna make the opposing special teams nervous, but we already kinda let the Lechler cat out of the bag. Another similarity to Ray Guy; he used to play the upcoming opponents QB in practice. Waited forever for the sneaky play ala Hue last year and it never came.

So if two starters and one back-up go out, are you several seasons away from it working again? Because my understanding is we are only one block away from breaking it big but EVERYBODY has to be on the same page and three backups, mid season would pretty much screw you.

Palmer said he is involved and is getting manhandled to the point of complaints to the league almost every week with no flags being thrown(go figure). If you’re a DC facing the Raiders, who are you gonna focus on? DMAC, Reece, and then your usual suspects, i.e. Moore, Bey, Myers. So isn’t that when you throw Ausberry at ‘em. I don’t know. I watch the games and I almost always know what they’re gonna run. Occasional surprise like Beys’ big one last week but too few and far between.

I guess I got caught up in praying that our o-line would hold up and not get Palmer killed, that I overlooked who was catching the ball. Hope he keeps it up! That or the many beers+what I just said about the oline. Lol

The Herd asked Peter King today about RGIII basically being the “wave of the future”, and King shut it down immediately.
King said the plan in Washington is to cut his number of designed runs once he basically learns the playbook.

Ha, I was thinking that. A GB type offense, only a few draws and runs to keep em honest. Put palmer in a no huddle shotgun and force teams to stop DHb, Moore, Meyers, Hagan, Streater, Reece at Slot at times, mcfadden held in to block and release for check downs.
run game can be found in bubble screens and stuff.
why not.
only thing is teams would pin their ears back and blitz. Palmer would have to be more accuarate than he has been and throw more timing routes BUT i think our rushing yards would go up as draws would be wide open reads for DMC.

I mean at some point in time, you have to accept you can’t run the ball and sling it.
How long did it take for the Pistons to realize they couldn’t dump it down to Darko Milicic in the post, even though he was 7 foot and the #2 pick? Not long at all.
Can’t be a pigeon-holing type of dude if your in charge of in-game schemes. Adapt M’fers!!!!!

The ZBS blocking system is reputed to work with a cheaper class of offensive linemen.
Cheaper in this context means lower a contract against the salary cap and later round draft picks.
Also Reggie is reputed to be running a moneyball scheme.
Putting these two together implies that DA was hired specifically to implement the ZBS because Reggie wants it.
DA would not have been offerred the HC gig if he hadn’t told Reggie that he believed in the scheme
and was going to implement it.
Knapp was hired by DA to implement the scheme.
ZBS is here to stay even if DA & Knapp don’t pan out.
ZBS is here as long as Reggie is here.

Can’t just scrap the run with a guy like DMac and Goodson on the team.
Stay the course!!!
DMac is watching plenty of film. He’ll learn it soon enough. If he didn’t slip a couple times last week, we would have had some decent yardage.

The ZBS blocking system is reputed to work with a cheaper class of offensive linemen.
Cheaper in this context means lower a contract against the salary cap and later round draft picks.
Also Reggie is reputed to be running a moneyball scheme.
Putting these two together implies that DA was hired specifically to implement the ZBS because Reggie wants it.
DA would not have been offerred the HC gig if he hadn’t told Reggie that he believed in the scheme
and was going to implement it.
Knapp was hired by DA to implement the scheme.
ZBS is here to stay even if DA & Knapp don’t pan out.
ZBS is here as long as Reggie is here.
—————————————————
What happens if we lose like for the next four to five years and the ZBS goes nowhere, like it’s going now. I am very concerned. There are no guarantees. Look at the Yankees. No guarantees. Team is going backwards. Won’t work in Oakland. Period. Won’t work.

Mr Green Says:
Well, truth be told, the conspiracy theorist in me died a natural death some time ago(with the possible, ok, likely exception of JFK and the Umbrella man),so, no I don’t think Palmer came into the game with his own set of plays, just in case. I do think he read the defense better than Knapp and used the best plays he had available to him(Knapps plays), toward the end of the game and knew, KNEW, that 3 points was gonna lose the game. No guarantee that Bey makes the catch or gets the PI, but he had a better read on it. IMHO.It worked, and that is why I like a gunslinger. Wasn’t a bad pass or route by Bey either, and was not a shaky PI call as some have said. Wow, did that answer you question?
October 23rd, 2012 at 5:50 pm
Don’t coaches always talk to the refs and tell them to look out for certain things the opposing team is known for doing? I’d definitely be throwing at Routt as much as possible!
Over/Under for P.I on Routt? 2
October 23rd, 2012 at 5:50 pm
Palmer and the offense does its best work in the no-huddle anyways…..
They can’t abandon the ZBS late in every game and expect to have enough time with our D to win it late.
Except against QB’s like:
C. Henne/Brady Quinn/Weeden/Newton/Flacco/Quinn again … wait a minute?
Many winnable games and players coming back from injury, that staff better settle on the best way to call the game offensively and we could have a huge year down the stretch.

Power blocking works better for DMAC. He was leading the NFL in rushing before he got hurt. Also the Raiders had something in the the range of the #5 O line last year. It was not broke. They should have left it alone.

Ah here it is. Reggie, DA, and Knapp “ALL” should be fired just for ignoring this. Damn idiots:
Well, during his first two seasons, McFadden was plagued by turf toe and knee injuries. He also struggled to adjust to a run game that was heavy on zone blocking under former coach Tom Cable.
McFadden’s transformation began last year when Jackson arrived from Baltimore as the Raiders offensive coordinator. Jackson knew what McFadden had accomplished at Arkansas, so he asked McFadden for a list of plays he liked in college.
“He wanted to put you in a position that you could make plays,” McFadden said. “You know, he felt like that was something we needed to do is ask me what plays I like to do.”
McFadden told Jackson that he liked “just getting downhill” in a power running scheme, instead of the slower-developing zone scheme. He said he liked to “make one cut and go.”
“And then of course I like being on the edge so I could use some of my speed more,” McFadden added.
Jackson revamped the running game, and McFadden regained the form he showed in college. He rushed for 1,157 yards on 223 carries and caught 47 passes for 507 yards last season. He rushed for seven touchdowns and caught three touchdown passes. This year he’s on pace to rush for 2,096 yards and 16 touchdowns.

Clark Judge (CBSSports.com, 28) — Yeah, the Raiders won, but look how they did it: Against a Jacksonville team that played without an offense. And it took Oakland five quarters to get there.
^^^^^^^^
Christ, this team is pathetic right now. Maybe if we pull out wins against KC and TB and get to 4-4 we can make a run for the postseason.
(…and lose in the 1st round and get a sh1tty 1st round draft pick. It will be fun to watch though – any playoffs is better than no playoffs).
October 23rd, 2012 at 6:57 pm
Evening Fellas
Regarding DMAC and the Offense.
It starts up front.
This group has been below average as a ZBS unit.
Remember the link that was posted as a primer regarding the ZBS?
Yellow lines good, red lines bad?
In most of the examples given, it was about the O Line and their “inexperience” or execution of the fundamentals of the ZBS.
However, there were examples that demonstrated that DMAC read the blocking wrong and as a result self destructed an otherwise properly blocked play.
So who is the baby, and what is the bathwater?
In my mind, this whole thing has to play out over this SEASON.
Goodson appears to be more adept at making something happen under the current conditions, but I don’t know if it’s because He’s better suited, or the opposing D just doesn’t pay as much attention to Him.
Thoughts?

I think the team came out Sunday against Jacksonville thinking they were pretty good following a decent outing on the road against Atlanta, and pretty much expected to go through the motions and win. They seem to do that every time they play a good game the last few years. This time for a change they managed to recover and do just enough to win. Teams like New England know that they have to come out every week and fight and scratch to win. I hope The Raiders have learned that.

Fire DA and Knapp. These guys don’t know football. This is just stupid. You got two of the most important offesne players/”Superstars” NOT playing to their strengths. Palmer is not a WCO QB and DMAC is not a ZBS RB. They wonder why the offense is struggling so much? It’s right in front of their damn faces. GED football. gezz. “Egos” much?
October 23rd, 2012 at 7:09 pm
My biggest problem with Knapp isn’t his ZBS, I think a lot of that is on McF losing his confidence… especially lately.
My problem is his complete lack of play calling designed to give CP more time when teams are continually coming in hot… especially on 3rd down.
Would it kill him to try a screen on 3rd down? Especially knowing from film that all every team does is all-out blitz us on third?
Or a bootleg on first down after sending the whole team in the opposite direction with McF??
All teams are doing is loading up the box on early downs and sending all-out blitzes on 3rd, and Knapp seems completely helpless against it all.
That has nothing to do with the ZBS, blocking, and McF.

That might be more a function of Teams taking the chunk yardage against our secondary, but our tackling has improved for sure.
Wheeler, Burris, and Houston get the credit here. imo

I think it’s naive to think there isn’t fixing going on in sports and that sports is somehow exempt from bad guys who would attempt to fix games and players who would be willing participants in the fix.
======================
I own his book and it provides lots of examples. He even thinks that Darryl Lamonica threw the AFC Championship game in 68′. I don’t agree with some of the statements in the book, but it’s very good. I did agree with the assessments of Bubba Smith and his idea that SuperBowl III was fixed.

So how big was that Slo TFL in overtime?
Next play we get a sack because they have to pass on 2nd and long, next play we get the fumble because they checked down on 3rd and forever.
It all started with Slo.
His play started the spiral of plays that won the game for us.

When you take him off the field so to not get abused in the dumpoff game, it really gives him some serious value to this defense.

OK, dig this.
Panthers in all likelyhood will get the 1st round pick. They are by far the worst team (well, not true. Insert Jacksonville). Reggie needs to off load knapp on them for maybe a quick 1st or second round pick. Knapp can help a QB like Newton. Look how good Schaub is now that knapp has moved on. One year with knapp at newtons side and look out, the Panthers are legit.
Maybe Jacksonville. Any takers?

So how big was that Slo TFL in overtime?
=========================================
Certainly big. So was the Sack by Seymour. McClain has played better is his limited playing time. I also don’t think it is a coincidence that McClain was mainly on the sidelines for the second half and the defense was lights out in the second half. If you want to give out some game balls, here you go:
Miles Burris: Burris basically did EVERYTHING the coaches asked him to do. Rush the passer (he had a sack), play the run, play the pass, make plays, fly around. This guy is just getting better and better and better. And better.
Lamar Houston: Absolutely HUGE in the second half with a sack, and a forced fumble in addition to just plain old solid play. Houston did what defensive players are supposed to do: get better and stronger as the game goes on.
Carson Palmer: Palmer did what franchise players do: he put the team on his back. The third and long conversion late in the game was amazing. And not only with the pass. Allen was going to try to kick a FG with 3:30 to go and Palmer WISELY talked him out of it. And if that is not enough, in the second quarter Palmer had more rushing yards than McFadden. When the Raiders needed a crucial third and short, and a TD, Palmer didn’t give it to McFadden. He kept it himself and made sure.

October 23rd, 2012 at 10:28 pm
I just watched the “coaches film” of the game… the defense was impressive, regardless of who was out. This game wouldn’t have been close at all if we had the “Good Carson.” He was not that sharp all game for some reason and there were two passes that should have been picked off in that final drive. The guy is a streaky QB… I can handle that.
McF only had a few plays where he obviously screwed up… one he hesitated to much in hitting a hole, and another where he broke inside instead of out.
He had a few plays that would have been game breakers… one on one of Knapps rare draws where he did an amazing job of breaking it outside, but Streater completely whiffed on his block so the CB was waiting for him. The other was where CP was getting nearly sacked and McF was breaking in front of him to open field but CP just couldn’t manage to get it off. After the play McF was like “damn.” There was NOTHING in front of him… probably an 80 yard TD.
The ball Streater went up for on 3rd and 6 was amazing… and probably saved the win.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence all the jump ball plays CP threw were mostly in Streaters direction.
I think we are set for WR’s for awhile.

Always wanted to experience a hurricane. Maybe not F 5 but a 3 or 4 would be cool.

The reason Palmer was not playing well is he was absolutely getting his ass KICKED out there by their Dline. But Palmer hung in there and made a lot of throws off his back foot. I think he got hit like 14 times in that game. That’s ridiculous. You think Tom Brady has EVER gotten hit 14 times in a game? Bellichik himself would don a helmet and pads and go in and block to protect his Q.
Again, the thing that jumps out to me is how ineffectual McFadden is. And then Goodson comes in, runs one play, gains 8 yards and goes out.

Palmer is getting the crap kicked out of him because we are getting down in games, the run game is ineffective and Dlines are teeing off on him.

AD was the type of man I could look up to until his dispute with Marcus Allen began which occurred because MA’s first four seasons were fabulous and he, as a bona-fide superstar gained more attention than AD.
At that point AD had a diseased mind, and forewent several Superbowls in order to settle the score with MA, as well as Jon Gruden who got the same treatment for winning big.
During the final decade AD was psycho ego/manical, mentally incompetent, and unable to manage the team.
Anyone who denies this is in a state of self-delusion, and can’t be helped.

Henne was completely confused out there. I felt sorry for him because Blackmon had no idea what was going on and Shorts had little if any clue himself.

KC does play us tough, but Brady Quinn sucks. He started last week and they got cremed by the Bucs. They are coming off a bye though so they’ve had 2 weeks to prepare for us.

The divorce was between Staples co-founder Tom Stemberg and his first wife Maureen. We’re told the divorce battle lasted for years and was extremely ugly.
Sources tell us Romney gave both a deposition in the divorce and testified in the trial. According to our sources, the Boston Globe got a tip that there was “juicy information about Romney” in the sealed documents.

KC is a horrible team. Cork agrees with me saying they are the worst by far in the NFL. If we don’t beat them, we might as well pack it in after the game, clean out the lockers.
But we are going to beat them, you will see. And then come home to beat the Suckaneers for a nice little 3 game win streak. And Baltimore just got its butt handed to them last week so they are a question mark now after losing so many starters on their defense.
I smell a win streak.

That said, I do understand that Palmer is not coming into games with his own little cheat sheet of plays to call when he decides Knapp is full of sh1t, but is reading the defense better and opting for the best Knapp play he’s got. I think he should have better options, but that’s what he and us are stuck with.

guest123 Says: you got me nostaligic for Pimp Hand Cable.
Jarassic beat ‘em late to’Murphy? Watkins?’ don’t remember. Point is , let’s not get too nostalgic.
October 24th, 2012 at 7:07 am
And no matter what Palmer chooses from his little wristband cheatsheet at the LOS, he still has shoddy protection all along the line on both sides now. But if he chooses his playcalls to take advantage of the defenses overpursuit, he can switch to some straight fullback draws that puncture the middle of the defense and some screens. The OL is a mess though and always going to be the weak link. I trust Palmer, but he can’t make miracles on his own.
October 24th, 2012 at 7:08 am
Was that 4th down, 17 yards to Watkins? Russel to Watkins for the win is never gonna be part of Raider lore.
October 24th, 2012 at 7:12 am
guest123, Palmer is getting the crap beat out of him. Conspiracy theorists think Knapp wants Lionheart in there and is trying to get Palmer hurt. Looks like it sometimes. If there was a stat for most completions while getting hammered I gotta think Palmer leads the league.
October 24th, 2012 at 7:14 am
Looke like it particularly in the late going of the donkeys game. What the he11 was he doing out there? We saving Lionheart for something special?
October 24th, 2012 at 7:16 am
Purvis,
That sounds like a neat conspiracy theory, but I’m pretty sure Lionheart would get his shoulder separated if he had to deal with that kind of pressure. At least CP3 can make some plays throwing off his back foot. Sometimes.
It was very disheartening to see big #68 manhandled by the Jags rookie #90. He would straight up bullrush him and stand him up and push him vertical. Our left side of the line is regressing and I have to wonder what our line would be like if we still had uncle Wiz and Bob Wylie running the schemes.

Last weeks game was disheartening. We should have pounded them into oblivion, but mistakes, mistakes, mistakes! However, on the flip side, with all the mistakes we were having, giving them 13 points, it could have been worse! We rose to the occasion and fought back and got that victory for us fans at home!
Nice to know we can do that, however, not against good to elite teams…not yet!

I can’t think of a road venue I’d rather want us to play in than KC right now. Their fanbase is fragmented and turning on themselves. Did you hear about them booing when their starting QB Cassel went down to injury at home? I only recently heard about that myself, and all I can do is shake my head at those fans. Should be easy to walk into their stadium and take over and create some silence.
October 24th, 2012 at 7:29 am
Yes, but it is always hard to win there, guest. Although we have won there 4, 5 years in a row…it’s not like it can’t be done, but we have to be on, like in the Atlanta game!
October 24th, 2012 at 7:37 am
I think the coaching staff finally implemented some new ideas over the bye week and it’s encouraging to see they don’t have thier head stuck in the sand.
At Atlanta, relegated #55 and his fast dissipating motor to base defense plays. Promoted Burris to a heavy dose of snaps, and we got after future probowl QB Matt Ryan all day. Burris and Wheeler made his life miserable.
Last week implemented that ackward looking no huddle (it can be improved on with some practice I think) and it led to a second half surge to take the game from what looked like a sure defeat. We did get very very lucky though.
But if we can solve the issue of Adams at CB next game, or if we can finally get DMC back on track, any incremental progress will be something to build on going forward. It looks like the coaching staff is in the middle of a learning curve with the personnel they have, but at least they are attempting new things.

I keep hoping that DA is right and we are just one block away from Mcfadden saying bye- bye. He really is too good to be held back this long and I thought last week was going to be the breakout game. Hopefully it will happen in KC. 200 all purpose yards ought to free up some other players.

You could say that and u may be right, but they had been slipping even before that last game and then got demolished the next week in the 1st rd.

They know the criticism is out there of Knapp’s crap but they are being stubborn.
Winning cures everything and it’s the only thing they should be concerned about.
I do wonder if that is the case though. They seem preoccupied with standing fast on implementing this Knapp “scheme” and hoping it will kick in.
Meanwhile, a potential gamebreaker gets to watch Adrian Petersen and Jamaal Charles get all the accolades why everyone in football asks “What’s wrong with Darren McFadden”?

Loosing in hopes of drafting higher is a down and digging strategy.

October 24th, 2012 at 8:42 am
I don’t see any win as “meaningless”. Not when we have 10 more games and I think we got a decent chance to win 7 of them. At what point do “meaningless games” turn into meaningful games? Or is this all a question of semantics?
October 24th, 2012 at 8:42 am
What good is a “Better” draft slot, if that player is going to a 3-13 team that quite halfway through the season?
I would rather have the #15 pick going to a 7-9 team, than the #4 pick going to a 3-13 team.

NEVER. Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser.

Winning franchises continue to win also because they draw free agents at discount because they all want to win Super Bowls so they can be rich and famous. So they cut a deal knowing that they can make it back and then some with endorsements later. But teams that suck and get that one high draft pick have to bid against themselves to draw any kind of NFL talent to build around. It’s not sustainable on any level to suck for a high draft pick and think it will turn around with just one guy.

So is this lose for the best draft pick selection idea, the Chicago Cubs theory that has made them so awesome the last 90 years?

Fire the piece of crap Knapp. He is handicapping the team. The offense has not improved: same 3 yard runs, same red zone woes, only productive strategy is the No huddle. he is done, and he knows it.

What good is a “Better” draft slot, if that player is going to a 3-13 team that quite halfway through the season?
I would rather have the #15 pick going to a 7-9 team, than the #4 pick going to a 3-13 team.
The more wins you have, you closer you are to the playoffs. Not true with draft picks.

Hey, if we had a team that showed any signs of being able to compete with the players and coaching staff we currently have, then you would be right. As we stand we are currently married to an OC who is a scrub and a coach and GM who support him. There is no hope for this team until that cancer is gone, and right now the franchise is in denial that the blood in their stool is caused by Knappcrapblastoma and instead they just think they simply have some hemorrhoids and they believe just applying some tucks medicated pads will fix the issue.
Until the team decides to cut out the cancer it is dead in the water. So I hope for some young talent that might help the next coaching staff.

I’m not too crazy about our OC, or even HC either. They are clearly not ready and are on a learning curve. I don’t see us being contenders for anything this yr either. But that still doesn’t mean we can’t build toward something next yr and beyond.
Remember when Denver was the laughing stock of the league and were 2-6 and rebounded to win the division at 8-8? If they can do it, so can we. Our division sucks top to bottom and is wide open. Nine wins could easily take it.

Baseball is a different animal….same with hockey….players end up in farm systems and it is much more difficult to find good players with any degree of certainty.
The NBA is the easiest sport to spot talent followed (not closely) by the NFL.
A lot of you are scared of high first round picks because of Al Davis’ track record. I hold out hope that Reggie will surprise us with solid picks at that position.
Although Reggie not stepping in to stop the hiring of Knapp is disconcerting, and calls into question his abilities as a GM. Letting the HC pick his own coaching staff is important, but letting them make such a major blunder without really putting the pressure on him to look for a better option was a huge mistake.

Made me a better card player, though. My friends wouldn’t play with more than one Purvis ’cause they were sure we were cheating. My sister, my brother or me. They preferred me ’cause I’m either not as good or drink too much. Did, I should say. Long time ago.
October 24th, 2012 at 9:22 am
We weren’t cheating, we were just better. And I still drink too much.
