Huff making the grade at cornerback
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, October 31st, 2012 at 3:27 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Michael Huff didn’t have much time to digest the switch from free safety to cornerback two games into the season. Yet, it hasn’t taken him long to make himself right at home.
In the past two games, Huff has been on the field in pass coverage for 84 plays. He had seven balls thrown his way during those plays, with one completion for 2 yards.
It’s enough to make coach Dennis Allen and defensive coordinator Jason Tarver think twice before moving Huff back to safety if Ron Bartell makes a successful return from a shoulder injury.
“Listen, I’m not ready to put him in the Hall of Fame yet, alright?” Allen said Wednesday. “I don’t think Willie Brown has anything to worry about yet. But he has improved. That’s what we expect and that’s what we will continue to expect that every day he has an opportunity to go out and work he’ll get a little bit better every week.”
Huff’s first three games at cornerback, he faced Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning and Matt Ryan. Huff had his struggles during those games, to be sure. However, it also enabled him to learn trial by fire.
“I had those couple of rough games early,” Huff said. “I knew I would go through some growing pains. I had never really played outside for a whole stretch. I knew I’d go through some growing pains and I’m starting to learn from them.”
Indeed. Quarterbacks no longer are targeting Huff as often as Roethlisberger, Manning and Ryan did his first three games.
Yet, Huff said he still feels as if he is a target every game because he spent his first six NFL seasons playing mostly safety.
“They’re still looking at me,” Huff said. “Every time I’m out there, I think the ball is coming my way. (They look at me) like I’m a safety playing corner, especially anytime I’m out there against a big-time receiver, like this week against Vincent Jackson. Every time I’m out there lined up out there on him, I have to assume the ball is coming my way because I’m a safety out there at corner against their best receiver.”
Bartell takes great delight in chiding Huff for his seamless transition.
“I kid him all the time (that) he’s a hell of a lot better corner than he is safety,” Bartell said. “I’ve been impressed with Huff. That’s tough to ask a guy to do. He hasn’t played a lick of corner all camp and all OTAs and then guys go down and he’s able to go in in a pinch. He’s gotten better every game, and he takes pride in it. I’m really impressed with him. He’s a pretty good corner. He’a s great football player.”
Coincidentally, the Raiders are playing against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that is led by Ronde Barber, a career cornerback who switched to safety this season.
It’s widely considered more difficult for a player to go from safety to cornerback, rather than the other way around.
“It’s probably harder going from safety down to corner,” Barber said. “That’s not a transition you see very often. Actually, I can’t think of any that have actually done it off the top of my head.”
– Allen said he isn’t in any hurry to decide what to do with Bartell just yet.
Bartell practiced today for the first time since he suffered a shoulder injury in the regular-season opener Sept. 10. He isn’t eligible to play in a game until Nov. 11.
Allen said he will evaluate Bartell in the coming days before deciding how to proceed. The Raiders have 21 days to decide whether to activate Bartell to the 53-man roster, waive him or place him on season-ending injured reserve.
– Curious what the Raiders offensive game plan is going to be against the Buccaneers? Check out the stats, and you should get a pretty firm idea on what they’re going to do before the game starts.
The Buccaneers are tied for first in the league against the run, holding opposing ballcarriers to an average of 3.5 yards rushing through seven games. The Raiders are tied for 26th in yards per carry on offense at 3.5.
On the flip side, the Buccaneers are 31st against the pass, with an average of 309.6 yards per game so far. The Raiders are 10th in passing offense at an average of 264 yards through seven games.
That doesn’t mean that the Raiders won’t at least try to establish the run game, Palmer said.
“We’re never going to abandon the run. They are very good against the run, and they’ve struggled some against the pass and they’ve had some big plays happen to him over and over again. But it’s a good football team.”
Palmer said Allen pointed out to the players that the Buccaneers are a lot like the Raiders in that they started off slow, overcame adversity and now they are riding some momentum after stirring upset of the Minnesota Vikings on the road.
“If you’ve got four guys that can rush the passer like they do, you can’t just go out and throw the ball on every play, because those guys are going to get to you, they’re too good up front,” Palmer said. “But we’re never going to just go into a game and completely abandon the run game. We’re going to pick our spots and definitely go in and be physical and run the ball, but when we have our shots downfield we need to hit ‘em this week.”
– Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman is having a bounce-back season after a disastrous season last year.
He is the league’s eighth-highest-rated passer at 93.3, with 14 touchdowns and only five interceptions. This, from a player that was intercepted 22 times last season versus only 16 touchdown passes and finished with a pedestrian 74.6 passer rating.
In 2010, Freeman burst onto the scene as the unquestioned starter with 25 touchdowns and only six interceptions, as well as a 95.9 passer rating. He has nine touchdowns and one interception the past three games, with three touchdown passes in each game.
First-year head coach Greg Schiano said he and his offensive coaches broke down the video of Freeman’s past games and devised a strategy that centered on having him doing what he does best.
“We all spent time with him early on in the process, reviewing just so we knew where his basis was, and then Ron (Turner) and Mike (Sullivan) did an awesome job of teaching the system and continue to teach the system,” Schiano said. “We’re a long ways off from being all-in as far as implementation. What we’ve given him he has done a nice job with.
“The one thing about Josh is, he is just an incredibly hard worker and is committed to the whole process, the meeting room, walkthrough, classroom and practice. He loves every part of the preparation as well as at the game.”
– Here’s what Schiano thinks of Palmer after watching video of his play the first seven games.
“He’s a guy that there’s no uncertainty with what he wants to do,” Schiano said. “You can see he’s well coached, he’s been well coached. You can see the reads. He reads things very quickly. Just the entire Raider football team is a fast, fast football team. His receivers are fast, his running back is fast — running backs are fast. So you cannot make a mistake. If you do it gets exposed.”
Safe to say, Schiano is not in the camp that thinks Palmer isn’t the long-term answer for the Raiders at quarterback.
– Running back Mike Goodson said the turf-toe injury he suffered against the Chiefs isn’t about to keep him from playing in a game. Sure enough, he was at practice today acting as if nothing happened.
He said he got hurt at the end or a run when he jammed his toe as he was going to the ground.
Goodson and Darren McFadden credited the zone-blocking scheme for the Raiders late success against the Chiefs running the ball.
McFadden rushed for 73 yards on 12 carries in the fourth quarter after amassing only 41 yards to that point.
“Wear ‘em down, wear ‘em down,” Goodson said, “and it’ll start kicking in the third or fourth quarter.”
McFadden had runs of 19 and 28 yards in the fourth quarter en route to a 114-yard effort. He had only 17 yards on 12 carries at halftime.
“It’s one of those things, the zone scheme is designed to get 1 or 2 yards here and there, then eventually they’re going to start popping,” McFadden said. “That’s what happened last week.”
– Allen remains non-commital on whether he intends to activate linebacker Aaron Curry before the 21-day evaluation period expires next Wednesday.
“That’s a crystal ball you have to look in to say if there’s any chance that he wouldn’t (be activated),” Allen said. “Our anticipation is we will activate him. But again I don’t have that crystal ball.”
If the Raiders don’t activate Curry, their two others options are to waive him or place him on season-ending injured reserve. Curry missed all of training camp and the first seven regular-season games while recovering from sore knees.

McFadden can talk zone all he wants, he needs to quit dropping the ball on passes aNd hit holes and learn how to cut it back sometimes….watch Arian foster find lanes or reverse field. If not he will never be a great back in any scheme in this league

Safe to say, Schiano is not in the camp that thinks Palmer isn’t the long-term answer for the Raiders at quarterback.

seems like only beeech would instantly recognize that he didn’t post that and point out the amount of e’s. looks like old dan78 is none other than beeech himself.
fish in a barrel.
and of course dan78, who ALWAYS come to beeech’s rescue immediately, also throws out the reference to malibu rum that beeech always likes to about kell.
could it be more obvious.
get ready everyone–dan (or another alias) will claim that they (and their blog “brahs”) are being hilariously entertained by my “meltdown”. aren’t they wonderfully humorous?
now it’s gonna take a few minutes for dan78 to change his alias and come in to support both himself and beeech, so get ready. here it comes.

That’s true man , what huff is doing is crazy , but again he was initially a CB at Texas I believe and just come back to his natural position but still going in there after all this years and doing good job in just a short amount of time … I’m def looking forward to our secondary with Bartell,Spencer,Huff,Lee and Hanson

And considering you own the Top 3 of all time, that’s quite a statement, holla
Anyway, your attempts to turn all of our smack downs around is failing miserably … and hysterically
Truly a hilarious act by a desperate blog minion
The PMPP owns you. Now, and forever.
HOLLA BACK TO THE WEST SIDE CRIPS
**************
oh this is perfect!
first of all, in ur attempt to minimize how many people can’t stand u, u keep trying to combine handles. pretty soon, i will be nob bust krap klas.
i know u know this but simply saying i’m having a meltdown doesn’t make it so, and simply saying ur giving me a smack down is not the same as actually doing it. that can’t be ur only cutdown. understand? u have to first cut me down, THEN say u did it. the cut down can’t be just saying u smacked me down. but i’m trying to talk logic to someone who has never actually responded directly to anyone.
yes, yes, yes, beeech. minion, meltdown, smack down. ur usual tired routine.
and now ur a crip!
HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 31st, 2012 at 4:27 pm
Just another blog meltdown from beechy dawg. It will be over soon and we can go back to discussing football.
October 31st, 2012 at 4:28 pm
this is awesome—beeech loves to accuse everyone of having multiple handles when it’s him that does it so much. true moronic hilarity.
HHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!

Tampon Bay has been playing well. They run the ball well, and Freeman has the passing game up and going like a couple of years ago. Their offensive line was very good before losing Carl Nicks. That right there is where we have to exploit them.

Classic Nob Bust script, plays out every day on the blog -
1) Fire up sock puppet Nob. Muppet gets swiftly creamed.
2) Go to hotmail account. Fire up Gay lover puppet. Gets ignored, quickly flames out.
3) Frustrated, logs himself in. Retreats quickly after receiving a few signature PMPP backhands
Logs all puppets off. MELTDOWN complete.

i have accused u of being a closet f-ag. of wanting to talk to a bunch of guys about weiners and pubes.
i have accused u of being completely lame in all of ur jokes.
but what exactly have u said about me other than u always smack me down and i have meltdowns. which of course aren’t actually saying anything.
cmon kid. i bet u completely ignore my post and just say something else about a meltdown.
October 31st, 2012 at 4:35 pm
If we can stop the run and get to J Freeman and force some turnovers ,this should be our game to win

Nicks is big part of their run game..I heard they average more yards running to his side than the other side so hopefully his back up gets the QB injured and we get our way with their backup QB
October 31st, 2012 at 4:40 pm
A big ST play could make a huge difference for us. A runback for 6 a blocked punt would be huge. Have we even come close to one yet?
Probably not since we are too busy setting up a return for the returner to fair catch it inside the ten yd line. LOL!!
October 31st, 2012 at 4:40 pm
They match up well against us in the run game. This game we have to put in on Palmer to win it for us. Again.

Betsy Ross was an accomplished seamstress and it took even a great woman of her caliber to create what would become our American flag.
It didn’t happen overnight friends, it was a painstaking process, created one delicate seam at a time over a lengthy time period.
That is what Reggie is doing; only Reggie is creating an intricate quilt which has many differing facets.
The end product may be quite grand indeed, but it will take a great deal of patience before we see the finished product.
Next season will be another throw away yr. for Reggie as he eliminates even more bad contracts and will again have limited draft picks in which to work with.
Yr. 3 of his regime should see a full compliment of picks and a little bit of money to spend on free agency. Yr. 4 is where the real “rebuild” begins.
It will take at least 3 seasons (i’m trying to be optimistic) before we see growth from the drafted players and free agents Reggie acquires. Yr. 7 should finally reveal some fruits of his labor, with steady growth we may just see a winning record by year 10. A few years of first or second round losses takes us to year 14…and with a dose of luck, and if divine providence should intervene, we may be looking at a playoff berth.
By year 15 if all goes as planned….a possible deep playoff run.
Give Reggie 10 yr’s. and like a fine quilt reveals superior craftsmanship, Reggies efforts will start to reveal the kind of growth we have waited patiently for.
Patience…yes patience friends…
A championship team will be woven one painstaking, delicate seam at a time.
10…and then.
I’m with you guys. If we don’t see a winning record by year 10, then it may time to consider moving in a different direction.
October 31st, 2012 at 4:46 pm
beeech and all his aliases repeat themselves a lot.

Rookie Vontaz Burfict on is averaging 10 tackles a game. 2 weeks ago he had 15 tackles in one game. he is average in passing game though.
I wanted Reggie to take him in the 7th round.. instead he took Nathan Stupar. Fugged up on that one mayne.
Hopefully we get Manti Te’o a true leader who has 5 ints this year. Rack em

I agree that all 3 are at fault but if Greg Knapp wants to be successful he would call some PBS plays that DMAC can break loose on.

Last weeks game was a perfect example of how this staff wants the ground game to work.You pound it and pound it and eventually the 2-3 yard gains become big gains.And it works.You just can’t be behind on the scoreboard by 17-20 points.

As long as DMAC is in the backfield, teams will have to respect the run because like you said, the threat of a big gain is there. We become much more dangerous once this run game becomes consistent.

Last week in the 2nd half the ball was pitched to DMac instead of handing it off which gave him room to make those cut backs designed for the cutback in the ZBS. Hopefully, we can keep working with that.

Not only that, but it also opens up the passing game. Teams know we are going to pound the rock, and have to commit defenders that which opens up DmO, DHB and others for bigger gains.

JFB,that is what I said earlier-you can’t get behind by 17-20 points.Fortunately we have a QB that is able to help bring us back if we fall behind,but it isn’t something you want to make a habit of.The situation you want is get a lead or keep the game close,pound the rock,and late the ground game will succeed.

I agree We do have a qb that can catch us up AS LONG AS THE EFFIN D DONT ALLOW THE THE OPPOSITION TO SCORE AT WILL.
October 31st, 2012 at 8:55 pm
DHB averaged 4+ catches/ game last season. This season he is averaging 2+ catches/ game.
DMAC averaged 5+ YPC the last 2 seasons. This season he is averaging 3+ YPC.
Reece should be more involved too. His touches decreased by 25+%.

Thanks for having me in ya’ll. I am from the deepest part of the Ozark mountains. I also have an education I got at TU. Thats where I learned to love the Raiders. We don’t have tv where I live, hell, we don’t even have electricity, so I go to the local tavern about 18 miles away to watch sports center and use the internet.
I’m from a deep strain of incest, so I really can’t describe where I’m from. Mongrel maybe, thats what my neighbors tell me.
But when I go squirell huntin, now thats where bein in hills is good livin. I take about five or so hizzies with me and after I nab a squirell or two, well, the hizzies like to get a little ’squirrelly’. haha. Never had a nob polish till i got back home. Butt shine all day long. These hizzies like to strip. I stack ‘em up. Got a tube so big a can do two of ‘em at once.
Then after a long day of grinding, you know whats next. You guessed it. A big turd ready to roll out the door. A long day of beef grinding works up one gigantic turd.
Now for some moon shine and more meat grinding, if ya’ll get my drift.

The defense is the key to a win, if the harrass the young QB into a few mistakes and take advantage. They can win but if it’s the other way around we have no chance. Palmer cannot turn it over and it would help a lot if he could run for a few 1st downs. I love the way Palmer is playing but he wwont move his feet and extend plays. He is the ultimate pocket passer everything depends on trhe pocket holding up. He is athletic enough to do it he’s just been taught not to.
DMC needs to SLLOOOOWW down and hit the hole better he is stilll rushing the play. The are rholes opening up after he’s made his move because he’s pressing the hole too quick. He has to allow the line creaat the hole then burst thru. Then there are times when we just get pushed backwards. But the ZBS isa timing running game and he’s still not made the adjustment.
October 31st, 2012 at 9:27 pm
Bartell is working with the scout team for now, which makes sense because he needs time to get back into the swing of things and he isn’t able to play in a game until Nov. 11.
The Raiders have a 21-day window in which to activate Bartell to the 53-man roster. Given he can’t play until the Nov. 11 game against the Baltimore Ravens, he likely won’t be activated this week.
Once Bartell is activated, the Raiders have to make a corresponding roster move to free up a spot for Bartell on the 53-man roster.
That means the Raiders are looking at waiving two players from their current roster within the next 10 days or so, with the prospect of linebacker Aaron Curry also being activated.
***
if Curry rejoins the team, count on Keenan Clayton, Travis Goethel or Vic So’oto being shown the door
if Bartell comes back, I think Brandian Ross or Coye Francies will be gven a pink slip
October 31st, 2012 at 9:31 pm
9 games to play and it sounds like we might have Curry & Bartell back for the last (or more) 7 of them.
Gordon is already back.
Whats the word on Barnes & Spencer ??
October 31st, 2012 at 9:32 pm
New England Cheaters just released Sterling Moore!! So much for loyalty to a player who helped send them to Superbowl last year, ha?
He did have his issues covering this year but he does turn his head in coverage to look at the ball and is a good tackler. I know he’s not extremely fast but is a play maker.
How about picking him up in place of Coy Francis? Thoughts?
October 31st, 2012 at 9:33 pm
They need to run some of those bubble screens for DHB he is a more physical runner than DMo although DMo is probably more instinctive but still use DHB on a few of those and see if he can break loose.
The absence of Reece is a huge mistake for this offense because of the mismatch you run wheel routes and screens to get him the ball if you have to. This is just a huge oversight.
October 31st, 2012 at 9:33 pm
Damn Beech took my comment to heart when I called him old fart and is not funny anymore …but back to football ,I believe Bartell would be activated next week but I’m not sure what’s the plan for A. Curry maybe the guy is still injured ?or the team thinks the other linebackers are too good to let go, I don’t know how exactly they will use him but I believe he can provide some pass rush and he can lay the wood for sure
October 31st, 2012 at 9:34 pm
Thx 666.
DHB had his best season last year, and most of us were hoping that he will continue to improve this season, but that’s not the case. He is not as involved as last year for some reason.
DMAC’s issues are a combination of things (Scheme, ZBS, OL play, and vision).

Yeah plus I been DHB is more and he would take some of those open field runs all the way and can break more tackles ,would D Mo got more swivel and know how to find those lil holes
October 31st, 2012 at 9:37 pm
I think DHB is more faster ***
October 31st, 2012 at 9:40 pm
Reece should be used in some screens ,along with those TE screens but we should use Ausberry instead of Myers
October 31st, 2012 at 9:47 pm
DHB averaged 4+ catches/ game last season. This season he is averaging 2+ catches/ game.
***
DMo17, Ford, McFadden & Boss were all hurt at certain points last season
Ford & Murphy have basically been replaced and outplayed by Streater & Hagan
Myers is better than Boss, too
Moore is healthy. Palmer has the weapons
he isn’t limited to just DHB & Reece in the passing game anymore!!
our O-Line sucks, but they looked much improved versus KC after Dennis Allen call them out in the JAX postgame presser. I remain hopeful

Huff is the exception to the rule only because everyone else had was too stupid to move him to CB.
He has never had the raw football instincts to play FS… but has always had the raw talent to focus on just one task… covering one guy.
This was LONG overdue.
If DA is stupid enough to put him back at FS… I am going to go insane.

RR,
Wrong way to look at it IMO. That’s what we are doing now (limited offense), and that’s one reason why we struggle to score points (12 TDs in 7 ganes). DHB and Reece are freakish athletes and can contribute like they did last season, but we are focusing more on Moore, Myers, and DMAC (passing game).
October 31st, 2012 at 10:01 pm
So….. I guess Huff can play CB?
Dell, any comments? Nothing to say now?
Dell was here saying he won this debate, and that Huff can not play CB.

The guy who right now seems to be the catalyst of our offense is Brandon Myers. Myers is our version of Wes Welker. The guy is unbelievably reliable, he moves the chains, and he makes big big big plays for us in the clutch. Right now, Myers is the guy.

Huejax had already planned to move Huff to db but what does he know? Anywho, Knapp apologist Raider Riff said us Raider fans should be glad to have Knapptime just because, well just because he was hired by DA and id he good enough for DA by golly he’s good enough for the nation. This is one of the most asinine arguments I’ve heard to date, just throw all of Knappy’s past failures out the window and accept him with open arms….yeah. If that wasnt enough Knapp has come to our beloved Nation and took basicly the same offense that was ranked 9th in the entire NFL and coached’em up to look like one of the worst offenses in football. I know their getting better but this offense is still not half as good as it was under Huejax and Al Saunders, but let Riff tell it, its all about execution, which is partially true, but any FOOTBALL fan not just Raider fan can see Knapp has slowed the progress of this offense, and with the D playing the way it is it will be solely Knapps fault if we dont make it to the playoffs just as it was Chuck B fault last year. Ray Charles could have seen this, so why cant Riff? boggles the mind.
October 31st, 2012 at 10:18 pm

wouldnt have to blame Knapp if he wasnt here. by far the wost move DA has made. failing to realize Huff is better at db is the second, could of saved more cap room instead of having to sign bartell or spencer even tho they came cheap.

ah McFadden20, you stillfail to realize Hues offenses scored enough to win 12 games last year despite his second half woes. all you have to do is focus your attn on 4 games from 2011 1st Buff game, we have the lead D gives it up thats 1. 2nd the Den game we have them beat but the D lets it become tebow time and we lose the game, thats 2. 3rd The lions game we have the lead going into the final minutes of the game and low and behold jerome boyd and Mcclain are covering Calvin jOHNSON we lose thats 3. 4th The finale against SD CP3 racks up huge yardage and we had like close to 600 yards in total offense and we lose the game. thats 4 games we should have won which would have put us at 12-4 and in the playoffs easy. this schit is not rocket science.

I’m fully aware of the short comings of our d from last year , which resulted in 4 wins turning into 4 losses but there is no excuse for him not making his team play well in 2nd of games .. No team should ever lose a game after going into half time 21-3 ..you see this team have already came from behind twice and have played well in 2nd half of all 3 wins .. For all the credit hue should get for his O ,he should get equal credit for the performance of his teams in 2nd halves ,I don’t know if his speeches sucked or they were just not in good shape ..I really don’t know what happened ,we should have def had 12-4 record like u said

Fact:
Hue’s offense averaged more points/ game than Knapp’s offense (before/ after losing our best player and starting QB).
—
That’s true but he’s not here any more , he’s coaching as some assistant for some position job so let it go man … Talk about other aspects ,we all know Knapps play calling or lack of doesn’t inspire confidence but if you’re going to freakin start blaming some one make sure you be fair and try to focus on all the problems of this team , yes the line is not opening holes but McFadden is also missing holes when they’re there .. Yes we are not scoring points in the red zone but we are also leaving some on the board with dropped passes in the end zone and McFadden is not freakin breakin tackles when he gets in the open field ..jus attack every one not just 1 person.. You act like Mistic now

I have no problem using DMo and DMC and Myers. But when you limit the offfense to just them not only does it bog the offense done it allows teams to take them away. Teams are clearly focusing on stopping DMC and DMo and Palmer would be wise go to the others and open things up. That way it allows DMC to relax and takes tghe pressure off him giving him a chance make bigger plays.Someone else mentioned Ausberry now here’s kid with unlimited ability just being ignored almost. As a OC you have to creat situations for players to get the football you cannot allow every eam you play to take them away. Once in while yes but EVERY GAME……..that’s on tghe OC………period

For the most part it’s about execution and he didn’t hire himself and he’s actually trying some new things with Dmac to get him going and hey atleast he’s not going away from the plan , like hue did sometimes last year when running game didn’t get going N atleast we’re scoring after half time , which we rarely did last year , so not everything is wrong , we should have had better record at this time but ill take 3-4 while we are still improving , Knapp need to get his head out of his a$$ fast and also McFadden should be more patience and hit those open holes when he see them ..can’t really blame knapp for that

October 31st, 2012 at 11:04 pm
The reason we’re scoring so many FG’s is te offense is limited to using 2-3 players whenever we get into the redzone that is why we struggle to score. Teams that score well we’ll get 6-8 players touchesthat way in that shortened zone the defense can’t take away tendencies because you have none.

Look I’m not a hue hater and I totally put the 80% of the blame on Al’s 1970s D fr most of the losses but that does not excuse hue from being unable to score in the 2nd half .. No matter how many points u score in 1st half ..if ur going to go 3nd n outs in 2nd half the other team will catch up and eventually win ,yes our fukin D was the worst of all time but our O also could have done a little bit more in 2nd halves , other teams figured out his playcalls or the d dominated our O in 2nd halves idk what it was but dnt tell me he was all that

We don’t know what happened in his tenure , you really going to judge Knapp with J Russell as his QB , we really don’t know what happened in his tenure with other teams .. We can just go by what he’s doing with this team this year , n all I’m saying is yea his freakin O is not scoring many points but how much of that is just Knapp and how much of that is his players ? I mean you can make all the comparisons to the last year n the year before ,but there are many things that go into it , are the players slow to learn this Scheme or is Oline not good for this scheme or do we lack talent on that side ? Is it the transition period from Rg to lg for Carlisle , do we have good receivers .. Can you really say that 2 rookies and other guy who was cut by other team are running the right routes? No right , so many things go into it besides knapp , we could have hired Al S but there is no gaurantees that our O would have been different with him

Dude , I get ur point of the D holdin up n sh1t but you can’t ask ur D to hold up every freakin drive after ur O keeps freaking going 3 n outs ,yes our D should have not allowed those long scoring drives in the end but I also believe the o should have not forgotten to score in 2nd halves , n the game would have never came down to D side had we scored in 2nd halves , Hue knew better that the D freaking s8ckes big time ,he should have did something for our O to keep on scoring not just sit on whatever points we scored in first half
October 31st, 2012 at 11:23 pm

We scored 139 points in 7 games.
Allowed 187 points.

Look I’m agreeing with u that his O plan or lack of leaves a lot to be desired but calling for 1 persons head jus because the o is not doing much is kinda stupid without factoring into all the other things like maybe our players suck as well maybe they are not executing , you would be BS me if you think McFadden is the same player from last year , he’s not finding the right holes and is going down easily , the guy got tackled from wrist while trying to stiff arm the other dude , how many times have we seen that before ?

Hue got to know all about this D after his D after it blew 18 point lead in 2nd game of the Ted ,yet he still left the game in its hands , couldn’t move the ball in 2nd halves knowing pretty well how much his D sucks ..those D’s were coached by great coaches who played 0-60 mins knowing their O won’t do nothing , Hue’s O only played 30 mins knowing that the D sucks and they would have to keep on scoring .. So he failed big time

It’s a collective team effort I mean who knows Hue just lucked out with that OL coach he hired and Knapp didn’t get so lucky since he was hired so late ,plus McFadden don’t seem the same and you round that our with our receiving group which consists of 2 starters who can’t stay healthy and rest is made up by undrafted rookie ,5rd rookie, ands guy who has been cut by 5 teams in previous 2 years…we can fire knapp and hire some one else but then if O still struggles ,who are we going to fire next?

But you realize the management wasn’t going to bring back Hue and Saunders is prolly too old now,i mean nobody else gave him chance and he came back to be a senior advisor ,n who knows we would have still struggled had we brought in same scheme coached by another O coordinator ,just because the same scheme did well under other guy doesn’t mean O would have clicked in that scheme coached by any dreaming guy ..there’s so many variables go into it ,now am I excited about where we strong at this time,no but I know firing him won’t happen this year,so I can just expect all coaches and players to give better effort rest of the year

I read this article today suggesting the Raiders should consider tradind for Tim Tebow. for short yardage situations. Here was my responce to that article.
“If I’m the Raiders I dont know if i could trade for Tim Tebow, unless it was for a fouth or fifth round pick or I might even trade away Jacoby Ford for Tebow next year because with a package of Run-DMC TP-3 AND TEBOW I just jizzed in my pants. All three can run the ball no question, all three can some what pass the ball to the other and All three can catch the ball and make plays! but thats with gimic plays not real football maybe worth 2-4 plays in a game damn that could represent 20-40 touchdowns or first downs a season just food for thought.”

I’m not saying Hue was lucky ,but there are so many things go into how certain unit performs.. Last year our D sucked but we had great D line coach who could get the line to put pressure on the QB ,this year our D line is not puttin the pressure but that side is working as a collective unit and stopping the other teams .. We can fire Knapp but the problem could be that he just hired a wrong coach and he probably didn’t have that many options .. And even if we fire him , new O cord won’t make players so much better and all of a sudden DmC is breaking tackles .. You guys argue over stupid sh1t .. Like this guy is going to be coaching the raiders rest of the year .. So lets just hope he can do something better and let’s hope McFadden is into this game
November 1st, 2012 at 12:03 am
Guys get over the Al Davis he died a month into the season and our record was 4-2 we hit the skids after his death. They could called whatever defense they wanted and they did we lost 6 out of the next 10 games to come up short. To blame those loses on Al Davis’ D is fallacious.
I’ve told people for years Mr davis had a phylosophy about defense but the coahces made the calls he didn’t allow our MLB to cover Calvin Johnson from the grave.

November 1st, 2012 at 12:05 am
well I hope Reggie picks him up!!!

Dude like I said a O is only considered great if it plays well 0 to 60 mins ..you think ravens would have freaking won Super Bowl had they went into 2nd half saying fukk it we did our job in first half and we will just chill on 2nd ,let our O do something no the played well 0 to 60 mins knowing the other side sucked and they had to do that …hue’s o failed to do that knowing our D sucks ..you got to keep scoring in second half and building long drives to kill time off clock ..our O couldn’t get a 1st down to save their lives..I don’t care how many points he scored in 1st half ,your job is not done in 2nd half
——————-
you make a good point but the D wasnt bad every game, but in at least half of them. All we needed was for them to step up in those clutch moments and they failed every time.
—
Yeah it wasn’t that bad but I believe our O could have done a better job in 2nd halves and the D would have never gotten the chance to fukk things up late ,had we scored a few more points ,it doesn’t just ask for the other team to score more but also kills the all important time off the clock .. I’m not really mad about Hue much because the D didn’t did its job even once but I don’t get all the love for hue either .his performances in 2nd halves proved that D’s could stop him when they really needed to and his trickery plays became predictable
November 1st, 2012 at 12:11 am
I love what I’m seeing form Tarver though, to the point where I’d like to see this guys retained as our DC no matter who the HC is. His attention to detail is second to none and the fundamentals are being taught as well as the structure and deployment of the defense. This is soem thing I’ve wanted for years I wnated it with Rob Ryan who was a very good DC but was comstantly victimized by poor offenses that kept so much pressure on the defense inevitably they would tire and give up 1 TD and we would LOSE!!
Kiffin and his scholarship accusation were such a smoke screen most fans couldn’t see past them. The truth is he was way over his head. Blamed the DC and Rob-O caught so much heat Mr Davis eventually let him go (big mistake). He brought us our best defenses the past 10 years. But fans saw we couldn’t hold a 3 point lead and found fault with the damn DC isntead of the OC(Kiffin).
November 1st, 2012 at 12:11 am
I’m smart enough to know knapp wont be fired mid season or going forward into next season as they want this type of O and they will start aquiring players to fit this scheme but I do hope they take a good long look at Knapp and see if the can hire another OC to run another version of the zbs like someone under shanahan or kubiak those guys no how to run that schit no matter how much we hate them but knapp… I’m just not gettn a good vibe from him or his version of the zbs.

Yes we’re def headed in the right direction , been scoring average of 24 points last 3 games .. Could have scored in mid 30s last game had D.moore not dropped sure fire TD and McFadden had broken some tackles,he usually breaks
November 1st, 2012 at 12:14 am
get ready for palmer to have about 400 yards this week. we could have a game like gannon did against the steelers that one year when we basically passed every game. the bucs defense is good against the run and we suck running it, but they’re awful against the pass and that’s where w’re good. after this game, there might not be a single idiot left on this blog dissing palmer.
they will challenge us on defense, but the defense has looked really pretty good ever since they took mcclain off the field for the most part.
the good news is that there doesn’t look to be a single “unwinnable” game left on the sked.

We know that ZBS doesn’t necessarily need the best RB or the best Lineman but I wonder if this O line is a fit for this scheme or n mcfadden def looks like he’s not made for this scheme ,or he’s just not into it after that lipsfranc(sp?) injury ,cuz he’s going down easily we have no idea if our receivers are running the right routes or not receivers ,we don’t know it’s just the players fukkin it up or we lack talent or our coaching just plan sucks..our all 3 combined ,we just don’t know that yet ,all we can hope for then is to build on last game and keep getting better

I got a feeling we will beat them this year ,it’s long due ..run D is better,which should neutralize their RB , and we will get Bartell back to give boost to our passing D ..Smith and Boldin are defendable, on o we can pass,they lost their CB,Lewis ,Ngata is banged up ,maybe we will get our run game by that time,but I feel better about that game turning in our favor

some interesting thoughts about the raiders working out 6 players at this stage of the season:
Quarterback Aaron Corp–former usc qb. could they really be considering putting pryor out on the field in another capacity, which would necessitate a practice squad qb, in case pryor gets injured? possibly as a return man?
wide receviers Saalim Hakim and Shaky Smithson–both kick returners. after adams’ muff, DA may be looking for another guy. as we know, he said “that’s not the kind of team we are gonna be” after roscoe parrish did it, and taiwan hasn’t seen much time after he did it. DA apparently takes fumbles seriously.
tight end Cooper Helfet–gordon’s injury may be worrying them.
cornerback Buddy Jackson–another returner
safety Cory Nelms–huff likely to stay at cb?
November 1st, 2012 at 1:13 am
get ready for aaron curry to be activated. keenan clayton has a shoulder issue and he will likely be the guy who gets cut.
francies will go bye bye next week for bartell.

November 1st, 2012 at 1:32 am
Fck Sterling Moore…. Holla at yall latr today.
November 1st, 2012 at 1:35 am
i don’t think they’re looking for new corners right now, except those that are also returners. huff has settled in and bartell is on the way back. lee and hanson are probably better than anyone else they can find right now. adams muffed the kick and may be replaced. franzies is gone when bartell comes back.
i don’t think moore will be here.
November 1st, 2012 at 2:43 am
Corp was probaly brought in to throw to the WR’s.
TP is busy on the scout team making like Freeman
November 1st, 2012 at 2:47 am

November 1st, 2012 at 3:22 am
It looks good but lose production from DT to LB and I gain some at RB going from Green to Morris.
I forget Mav was gonna throw in Ryan Broyles but I have plenty of flex options.
DT and bighead are just getting rolling with easy schedule. Where Alfred has scanarat for a coach. Thats minus 5 points.
Gotta turn down the trade but its a great offer
November 1st, 2012 at 4:09 am
That’s what we are doing now (limited offense), and that’s one reason why we struggle to score points (12 TDs in 7 games).
***
O,
the players have to produce. Until they do, they are making the offensive boss look bad. As far as play calling, I haven’t seen more than a handful of head scratchers through the first 7 games
his system/scheme is the reason he was brought on board. That is what Allen wants to run. WCO/ZBS. Reggie isn’t going to beg Hue Jackson to come back as OC next offseason, so most of you clowns should shut your mouths. Al Saunders isn’t gonna get promoted either. If Knapp is canned, expect the next OC to come in and run the same system Allen wants. Players better learn how to excel in it or ask to be traded. We are not going to let the players dictate the coordinators.

My theory is “Ten…and Then” Give Reggie 10 years to right the
ship and at least 8-9 yr’s. to see a winning record.
I think that’s enough time to see if Reggie is the man for the job.
If we can’t obtain a winning record in 9 yr’s maybe it will time to
think about making a change.
Give Reg at least 15 yr’s. to get us into the SB.

The days of the MLB’s who are better stopping the run, playing every down, are over.
Rey Mualaga, Pat Willis, Ray Lewis, Demeco Ryans……these guys all get the same treatment Rolando just got.
The Urlachers, and the OLB who can run like Wheeler and Burris are the NEW everydown LB’s.

What is really nice is we can go into the game feeling sure we will get an interception or two.
We create turnovers. When was the last time that happened?
November 1st, 2012 at 9:06 am
Exactly, Plunk. And when was the last time we could feel confident about stopping the run? Like where this D is headed.

I see improvement everywhere over last year except the run game and I expect that to change soon.

I love how people call #55 a demotion even though Pat Willis also comes off the field in some packages for the 49ers.
The days of the MLB’s who are better stopping the run, playing every down, are over.
Rey Mualaga, Pat Willis, Ray Lewis, Demeco Ryans……these guys all get the same treatment Rolando just got.
The Urlachers, and the OLB who can run like Wheeler and Burris are the NEW everydown LB’s.
Al should have known this on draft day, but that ship had already sailed.
************************************************
This just how dumb this guy is, this has been going on damn near since the advent of the forward pass man. Ever since the AFL became a pass happy league they’ve been taking MLB’s out on passing downs…….IT’S CALLED NICKLE DEFENSE!!
Matt Millen came off the field on passing downs for us, how long have you been actually watching football. The fact that Rolando comes off the field is more of a credit to the guys who stay in on obvious passing downs because they are more athletic it’s an age old tradition…………..period

Hue wasn’t a good HC, and I said that before, but him and Saunders were a better fir for our offense than Knapp.

November 1st, 2012 at 9:26 am
AFAIK, the safety-to-cornerback switch has been done twice before and was successful neither time:
In the late 80s, Dwight Hicks of the Niners moved from free safety as part of a switch with Ronnie Lott. Lott thrived at safety and eventually became yet another Raider HoFer, but Hicks was gone the next year.
In the early 90s, the Jets moved Erik McMillan from safety to corner as well, and McMillan was out of the league in a couple of years.

Al Davis drafted a athletic MLB in Kirk Morrison but he wasn’t stout enough at the POA so he went out and got a traditional MLB very stout great size. The caveat is he’s not going to be a great nickle LB. There are very few MLB’s that can do both Ray Lewis being one of the few.

It’s new in that teams are throwing the ball more than ever now, so before that LB might go off the field 8-10 snaps a game, and now it is 15-20.
And you are seeing more 235 LB’s like Wheeler, more so than you say 15 years ago

Janikowski kicked his way to player of the month award!!
Janikowski picked up the AFC award for the fourth time in his career. He made 10-of-11 field goals during the month and his only miss was a 64-yarder that would have set an NFL record if Janikowski made it. That kick came at the end of regulation against Jacksonville and Janikowski later won the game in the overtime with a 40-yard kick. Janikowski also picked up 13 touchbacks out of 19 kickoffs on the month.

This is not true at all this has been going on fron eons. The last big nasty MLB’s were in the 70’s and 80’s teams started to go away form it because in truth they threw the ball a TON in the late 60’s and 70’s and the MLB starting with the HB iso was getting victimized. When the HB start getting into passing gaem is when they went away from big physical MLB’s.
they sre as much a passing game as the old AFL be not by much because they damn near threw on every down as well. This is just history repeating itself. This is NOT NEW AT ALL………..period
November 1st, 2012 at 9:46 am
The Dubs are deep. Their bench is pretty nasty. We finally added a little toughness to our team. I loved the Carl Landry signing. Gotta love what he brings to court night in and night out.
November 1st, 2012 at 9:48 am
JFB just to help you out further, the only thing NEW about now is the RULES wont allow DB’s to bump’n'run the way they used to slow WR’s down. You can’t breath on these now and that’s why the passing stats are so huge but as far as throwing the football it’s nothing NEW…………..period
November 1st, 2012 at 9:48 am
Bucs claimed CB Danny Gorrer off waivers from the Seahawks.
Gorrer was waived on Tuesday. He appeared in 11 games for the Ravens last season, making five tackles. He’ll provide depth for a Bucs team that could be without Eric Wright (Achilles) in addition to Aqib Talib (suspension) this weekend.

I’m glad the rest of the game turned out to be a Routt toasting after that intial int.
I posted before the game I was concerned about Palmer going deep on him and Routt getting his revenge by playing out of his mind and making picks, and when the FIRST PASS was picked off by Routt I was in a state of “damitt..i knew it”.
Glad the rest of the way turned out the way it did.

But yeah, The Dubs look good for a bit last night. Almost gave up a good lead, but at least they won!
November 1st, 2012 at 9:53 am
Priest,
In 2011, teams threw more passes than ever before (post-merger) statistically speaking. Maybe they threw it more in the old AFL, I don’t know, but in the 50 years of the NFL, they never have.
2012, so far, has more % of plays as passes than 2011.
And to my point, Pat Willis never left the field before, now he does. Maybe he is older and that’s why, or maybe it is other issues.
But I am noticing A LOT more of these Pro Bowl level LB’s leaving the field, and I didn’t see it as much previously.
Did Singletary leave the field? I don’t know, but I doubt he played only 71% of the snaps like Willis did last week.
November 1st, 2012 at 9:53 am
It’s also why people think the cover2 is ‘MODERN’ due to the rules changing the way you can play physically. The cover2 and 3 let teams play physical without a true bump’n'run covercorner. It gives them ability to hit and make the rec’s pay after they catch in those zones or separate them from the football and yet stay within the rules.
But the KC Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, Houston Oilers and SD Chargers to mention a few threw as much of not more than these teams do.
November 1st, 2012 at 9:55 am

You do understand that most players don’t do that or don’t know how to do that, and that is one of the reasons why you have so many coaches on the staff.
It’s the coaches responsibility to make sure his Players are ready to play on Sunday, and it’s his job to put Players in positions to make plays,
November 1st, 2012 at 10:00 am
Statistically speaking you can say this in terms of the shere # of teams. But the old AFL was an air-show it took the olf NFL til maybe mid to late 70’s to start catching up.
Singltary played in a hybrid defense called the 46 defense plus Singletary only wieghed 230 lbs. those LB’s in the old Buddy Ryan system were small quick guys more than big physical guys. I fact Singletary came from Baylor and barely was over 6′ ft tall he was smaller Pat Willis.

Dude some of the stuff you say is so off base it’s incredible. This is not true, that is an obvious oversight by the coaches. When you have a issue like that it squarely goes on the coaching staff. Great staff leave no stone unturned. Goethel unpreparedness was NOT his fault………….period

BTW, Jared Allen filled in as a long-snapper last year for Minny, and said he practices it on his own from time to time, sometimes pre-game he will fire off a few here and there, after practice, etc.

Your are killing me.

You will never get it then.
Goethel took ZERO initiative on his own, but that is not his fault apparently.
What gall I have to ask a player to go beyond the scope of practice reps to improve. Silly me!!!!
November 1st, 2012 at 10:19 am
Wow, our own Stevie Johnson went to the Giants? USA Today has him on their “Right Now” All-Pro team…nah, can it be?
November 1st, 2012 at 10:19 am
Goethel can’t practice LS Alone, and he didn’t get any practice during the week, and you want to Blame him and not DA and the STs coach?
*************************
First off, it was reported that DURING the in practice reps, the guys were snapping it at the goal-posts, so absolutely you can practice on your own.
And why is it that things have to be so mutually exclusive in the blame game? Both parties are SEVERLY at fault, Goethel just as much as the staff.
As a man though, he should have been ready, whether the staff asked him or not. That’s my opinion.
You either care about your job and being as good as it as possible and need you hand-holding, or you need a coach or manager to push you along and constantly urge you.
I guess Goethel is the later.
November 1st, 2012 at 10:24 am
Chico,
You don’t get it. You assume all players should have/ do have the same mentality as J Allen, J Rice, and R Lewis. Why do you think these guys are special/ elite? Great work ethic combined with talent. These guys coach themselves and they will succeed I’m any system, but most players are not like that.
I can tell that you never managed people before.
November 1st, 2012 at 10:25 am
If Goethel was smart, he’d practice really hard on his own time for LS. LS guys can have a very long career in the nfl. These guys are on contracts and that’s self employment isnt it? You’re a pro. It’s up to you to make yourself an asset to the team.
November 1st, 2012 at 10:26 am

I fault both the coach and player in this case.
November 1st, 2012 at 10:26 am
O,
When you sold cars, did you ONLY learn about the specs of the different cars, when your boss told you about them and told you look at them?
Or did you go on your own, maybe take a manufacture guide home with you, and learn the MPG and a little “feature and benefit” of the cars as a way to better yourself as a sales person?
Same thing, IMO, as this LS fiasco. Goethel treated it like a hourly job, when he gets paid a salary. If they hired him to be the emergency LS, then he needs to be ready to LS in an emergency, whether the staff had him practice everday or never.

Funny how everyone makes a big deal after 2 games played in the NBA….IT’S NOT THE NFL!!!
There are over 80 GAMES….not 16!!
SMH…the W’s aint doing sh1t this season and for anyone claiming they’re making the playoffs….put your money where your mouth is!!
The Lakers will have a better record at the end of the season…I’m taking bets!
November 1st, 2012 at 10:29 am
Yeah Goethel should have been practicing Long Snapping…but I would imagine snapping off the dirt infield added a little extra adversity for a backup long snapper. Pretty tough.
Do you guys remember who the backup long snapper before Goethel was? Zach Miller…
November 1st, 2012 at 10:29 am
All right, so when Pryor enters a game, I will give him a pass if he forgets how to throw a football since he didn’t practice it.
November 1st, 2012 at 10:31 am
It’s not the same Chico!
I was a good (being modest, I was a effin stud) salesman, I averaged 15+ cars/ month, I did my homework, I stayed late, etc…
I did the same thing in school. I graduated with honors.
You think every salesman sold 15+ cars/ month?
You think all students graduated with honors?
November 1st, 2012 at 10:35 am
Same with our defensive players when they turn the ball over and are running with it.
They should be allowed to hold it like a loaf of bread, and if they fumble, who cares, they didn’t practice it I am sure.
November 1st, 2012 at 10:35 am
I blame Goethal and the coaches.
Goethal should of never volunteered to be an emergency snapper, if he couldn’t really do it. Those snaps were horrible.
I also blame the coaches, because they should of had him prepared.
It’s like being mad at your pitcher for not hitting and striking out all the time.
November 1st, 2012 at 10:36 am
You think every salesman sold 15+ cars/ month?

*******************************
So, metaphorically speaking (your metaphors BTW), you would blame the teachers for a student not graduating with honors and not the student.
Sounds pretty stupid doesn’t it?

I am going to go eat lunch, if my waitress puts two ice cubes in my drink, I won’t blame her for being an idiot and realizing that is not enough ice, I am sure her manager doesn’t practice how much ice to re-fill.

No, He is a QB (Goethel is a LB), but you should understand that he doesn’t get a lot of reps in practice when you are making your evaluation.
Goethel is a backup LB who wasn’t a LS in college. Players need to get enough reps to be solid backups since that’s not their primary position.
It’s the coaches job to optimize production from the talent on their roster.

If I’m the back-up joint roller, I better be prepared to roll some joints.

November 1st, 2012 at 10:49 am
The teachers’ job is not turning every student to an honor student. Their job is to teach students. Some students have a better work ethic, smarter, have more time to study, etc…
Teachers job is to make sure the students understand the course, and students demonstrate that by passing which MOST students do.
Enjoy your lunch, and don’t forget to blame management for the bad service.
November 1st, 2012 at 10:49 am
Oh boy…LOL…
That is the ONE thing I could not do is roll…but I did scrape a potatoe, poked a hole in it and used it to get high…then ate it after! LOL
November 1st, 2012 at 10:50 am
the lakers will lose their share of games (remember when the miami heat was assembled) but they’ll end up in the top 4 in the west and make the finals. Is mike brown dumb and doesn’t realize jamison is too slow for a 3 and is a mismatch for 4’s while ebanks is a 3? also it’s about june, rest the starters, even if it costs some wins

A joint is pure green weed but a blunt has tobacco in it not sure why people like that?

Brahs, the best way to roll tight PHAT j’s is get a wasted stripper to pass out on her belly, lay your Zig Zag in her buttcrack, then fill ‘er up with chronic
If you want a tighter pack, just push it down deeper into the crack for pressure
