Knapp incorporating more gap scheme in run game
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, November 1st, 2012 at 3:32 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders rushed for 135 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs. A large chunk of that total came during the fourth quarter, and some of that came on several plays in which the Raiders mixed in some gap-scheme blocking.
So says offensive coordinator Greg Knapp, who has come under fire from fans for his implementation of the zone-blocking scheme upon his arrival before this season.
“It was a good balance of zone blocking and the gap scheme, so it paid off pretty good,” Knapp said Thursday. “We definitely increased our gap run-blocking scheme to get a better balance and keep defenses honest, and we’ve done it well, so we’ll keep that same kind of formula working. It’s a good change-up for us to have some kind of gap scheme with that outsize zone. But the big runs came from the outside zone for us in the fourth quarter.”
The Raiders primarily used a zone-blocking scheme early in the season. Knapp said he incorporated some gap-scheme blocking as a response to the lack of success running the ball.
No, it had nothing to do with the ruckus raised by fan calling for Knapp’s job because of his steadfast desire to stick with the ZBS.
“Yeah, we had to make an adjustment,” Knapp said, “and that was a good adjustment for us. It paid off, you betcha.”
Center Stefen Wisniewski said he welcomes the addition of the gap-blocking scheme into the mix.
“It is nice,” Wisniewski said. “That’s more of the stuff we ran last year, so most of us have a lot of experience in that, where we’re still learning the zone scheme. So it helps us because we’re familiar with it and also it’s a nice change-up. Teams aren’t sure what’s coming at them, and it makes us more likely to be successful.”
Wisniewski said it was nothing but zone-blocking scheme from the outset, which made sense given that’s Knapp’s and offensive line coach Frank Pollack’s pedigree. However, the coaches aren’t so rigid that they are averse to change.
“They’re starting to get to know us better, and we’re getting to know them,” Wisniewski said, “so they’re seeing that we can be successful doing both.”
– Knapp has coached and been around some pretty notable quarterbacks during his long NFL career: Steve Young, Michael Vick, Matt Schaub, Matt Hasselbeck come to mind.
You get the sense that Carson Palmer rates right near the top in Knapp’s book based on the portrait Knapp paints of his signal-caller.
“He’s been the rock,” Knapp said. “As you guys hear his quotes and the way he handles a tough loss, he puts it on himself. He’s a true pro, he’s a true leader. He’s really helped us in the pass game from the stance of, we’re a top five team in sacks allowed, but he’s getting the ball out pretty quick, too. He’s done a fine job for us managing the game in that pocket situation and not having frustration.
“He really keeps his cool throughout, through thick and thin. … . He’s special, guys. I don’t know how many guys you’ve been around, but he’s special. He doesn’t say much, but I’ll tell you, Carson Palmer’s special in the way he leads a team and the way he prepares for a game. He’s very, very good.”
High praise, indeed.
– Allen said cornerback Shawntae Spencer’s recovery from a right foot injury he suffered more than six weeks ago isn’t going as well as hoped for.
“He has not had any setbacks,” Allen said. “The progress has slowed a lot more than what we anticipated. We anticipated there would be more progress by this point in time, but it’s coming around a little slower than what we had hoped. It’s through no fault of his, just the nature of his injury.”
Spencer said last Friday that he still experiences some pain in his foot from time to time but that he remains hopeful of a return before long.
“I’m not in control of the timetable,” Spencer said. “Whatever they say, is whatever they say. So, I come to work, do whatever I got to do, do what they ask. Whenever doc clears me, he clears me.”
Spencer hasn’t practiced since he got hurt against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 16. There is no timetable for him to return to practice.
– Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano caused quite a stir earlier this season when he instructed his players to get after Giants quarterback Eli Manning while Manning was performing a kneel down at the end of a victory over the Bucs.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin took exception to the questionable tactic, and he let Schiano know about it during the postgame handshake.
Knapp said he is aware of what transpired and that his players are prepared for the situation should it arise Sunday.
“We’ve alerted our guys, ‘Alright, this is what they’ve done, so don’t … ‘ ”
So, don’t get caught offguard.
“We make sure that we’re in the mode of aggressive blocking up front,” Knapp said. “Sometimes, that down is kind of a relaxed down. We’re making sure, no, don’t take it as a relaxed down. Very similar to when we set up the field goal against Jacksonville, when Carson went out there and just went over a step and took a knee. That kind of blocking scheme, where we’re making sure we don’t let any penetration come through the inside.”
Knapp said this is the first time in his coaching career where he has had to address the prospect of a team going all out during a kneeldown situation.
Allen smiled when asked if he was aware of the dustup between the Giants and Buccaneers.
“We’ll be ready,” Allen said. “Our job is to be ready for anything. So we’ll be ready for it.”
– The Buccaneers traded cornerback Aqib Talib to the New England Patriots on Thursday in the only reported trade before the league deadline.
In a roundabout way, that might preclude the Patriots from re-signing cornerback Sterling Moore — he cleared waivers today — and keep him available for the Raiders to sign.
– Sebastian Janikowski wasn’t in the locker room to talk about being named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month.
So, we turn to Allen for his thoughts on Janikowski receiving the honor.
“That obviously means he’s kicking it good,” Allen said. “He’s done a good job. It’s a comforting thing to know you can put him out there and feel confident that he’s going to kick it through. We’ve put him in a couple game-winning situations, and he’s come through both times. That’s really a comforting feeling for the coach to have to make that decision.”
Janikowski has converted 18 of 19 field-goal attempts this season, with his lone miss coming from 64 yards against the Jaguars. He kicked a 40-yarder in overtime to win that game for the Raiders.
– Remember when Allen said he and his coaches were going to break down the Raiders from “A to Z” during the bye week? Well, here’s Allen’s take on how much progress the Raiders made the past three games.
“We’ve got some things corrected,” Allen said. “We’ve been better in some areas but we still have a long way to go. We still have a lot of things we have to get better at. It doesn’t matter what your record is, that’s always the case. You have to continue to improve throughout this 16-game season.”
– Wide receiver Denarius Moore has scored a touchdown in each of the past three games. On more than one occasion, Moore scored because of his ability to elude defenders in the open field an find a way into the end zone.
That inate ability to get ino the end zone is something that isn’t easily taught, Knapp said/
“It’s awfully hard to coach,” Knapp said. “It’s awfully hard to coach. His YAC ability, yards after catch or contact, whatever you want to choose, he’s got a unique ability to be able to make the first one miss. He has a little bit of space and that makes it awfully hard on defense. It’s a special trait he has, and it’s awfully hard to coach.”

Back to the hybrid run-blocking scheme of 2010 that worked wonderfully for us.
They had to implement the ZBS system and do a one step back for two steps forward type of deal at the beginning of the season.
I look forward to another 3-4 years of Knapp running the show.

When the Marine Barracks in Beirut was bombed killing over 240 American marines, President Ron Reagan did what every red blooded conservative always does: he retreated. He did absolutely nothing. The group that performed that act on American Servicemen became Hezbollah, which is still in existence today. And some of you want to put that idiot Reagan up on Mt. Rushmore?

November 1st, 2012 at 4:22 pm
They have been trying to target Reece but the plays just have not been there. It has opened things up a bit for Myers and the wides. Dmac has to stop dropping the rock as well. If Dmac actually catches the rock and the others continue to emerge that will open plays up for Reece.
November 1st, 2012 at 4:23 pm
The Raiders primarily used a zone-blocking scheme early in the season. Knapp said he incorporated some gap-scheme blocking as a response to the lack of success running the ball.“Yeah, we had to make an adjustment,” Knapp said, “and that was a good adjustment for us. It paid off, you betcha.”
“It is nice,” Wisniewski said. “That’s more of the stuff we ran last year, so most of us have a lot of experience in that, where we’re still learning the zone scheme. So it helps us because we’re familiar with it and also it’s a nice change-up. Teams aren’t sure what’s coming at them, and it makes us more likely to be successful.”
What kind of OC doesn’t realize this until game 7? Shouldn’t you mix the familiar with the unfamiliar to start with and incorporate more of the new as the offense gets better at it, assuming it’s working? Or just go with total immersion, record be damned? At what point was he told we also want to win games?
November 1st, 2012 at 4:24 pm
believe it or not Reece is a huge mismatch for any LB or Saftey in the league so……. you figure it out
November 1st, 2012 at 4:24 pm
funny when people mention what “the league” is doing they refer to high volume passing teams like Green Bay or Green Bay. Yes each has their recent superbowl, but NYG has multiple recent rings and they are a run heavy bunch. Just cuz other don’t do it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work
November 1st, 2012 at 4:24 pm
Reece is so under utalized, get the ball to him!!! Also, Ausberry! D*mn!!!
November 1st, 2012 at 4:24 pm
Hernandez?
NE doesn’t have any WRs besides Welker, so that’s why you see all the TE stuff.
Should we bench Myers for Ausberry?
Should we bench Streater or DHB and go with 2 TEs?
Or should Reece be off the field to get Ausberry on?

You are quoting phony government statistics. They are manipulated to make things look rosy in an election year. The fed has to keep COLA low or they will have to increase SS payments, which will cause the entire house of cards to collapse that much sooner.

Hernandez?
NE doesn’t have any WRs besides Welker, so that’s why you see all the TE stuff.
Should we bench Myers for Ausberry?
Should we bench Streater or DHB and go with 2 TEs?
Or should Reece be off the field to get Ausberry on?
_________________
they have receivers i just think the biggest mismatches are Hernandez and Gronk, even welker has taken a backseat when they’ve both been healthy this year because safeties and lb’s can’t keep up with em and they’re too big for corners. You gotta incorporate Reece and Ausberry more, i see them doing it with Ausberry Reece needs more run in my opinion…

November 1st, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Against the Jags, they stuck a rookie 6th round corner on Reece and he was shut down pretty much the whole game.
Palmer said they have been running plays for Reece deep, but he’s getting held, no call, and can’t get open.
Reece is NOT a good blocker which is the FBs PRIMARY responsibility. I find it hilarious that some of you want us to wait all game for what 3 catches for 20 yds that MIGHT have gone longer???
What about his lack of blocking and how that impacts the running game?
November 1st, 2012 at 4:31 pm

Well if they put a CB on Reece thats huge respect for a FB and it should open up the field for the other players on the team.
November 1st, 2012 at 4:36 pm
88…Reece is a baller. Can run, catch and also do some damage after he catches the ball. He’s a WR, TE, FB and running back all in one.

Going after the QB on a kneeldown? I had 50 bucks on a Dolts/Raiders game mid 80’s. Wasn’t going to beat the spread on the kneeldown at the end at their 5 yard line. Dolts pulled that crap and Flores ran Marcus Allen in and got me 50 bucks. Which was a lot to me back then.

i don’t think reece is a good blocker either that’s why i used the example of hernandez. he’s a mismatch that creates space when covered by a lb or s and you can use his body when covered by a corner same as ausberry. i also believe however you can use a real fb, f it if they know what’s coming

“It is nice,” Wisniewski said. “That’s more of the stuff we ran last year, so most of us have a lot of experience in that, where we’re still learning the zone scheme. So it helps us because we’re familiar with it and also it’s a nice change-up. Teams aren’t sure what’s coming at them, and it makes us more likely to be successful.”
Wisniewski said it was nothing but zone-blocking scheme from the outset, which made sense given that’s Knapp’s and offensive line coach Frank Pollack’s pedigree. However, the coaches aren’t so rigid that they are averse to change.
“They’re starting to get to know us better, and we’re getting to know them,” Wisniewski said, “so they’re seeing that we can be successful doing both.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
That’s not getting optimized production from the talent on the roster, and that’s why he needs to go.
November 1st, 2012 at 4:48 pm
At this point Reece isn’t a priority he is a luxury player.
Our WR have shown they can win match-ups on the outside and Meyers is very solid in spots.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Schmitt a bit more, although everyone forgets whether Reece isn’t open means he is being covered, most FB’s dont even get man coverage, so in theory Reece is opening things up even wihtout touches at times.
ITS CHESS IT AINT CHECKERS!!!!!

There is no denying this. Housing prices in this area are going up. There is no denying this. Rents are going up because people have jobs and need decent housing. There is no denying this.

Glad to read that Knapp is “improvising” the blocking scheme.

You should probably be arguing that it was a mistake to exclude the gap scheme from the so called hybrid we were running last year.

When they started to run more gap, that’s an admission right there.
===========================================
Not necessarily. Here is a direct quote:
Center Stefen Wisniewski said he welcomes the addition of the gap-blocking scheme into the mix.
“It is nice,” Wisniewski said. “That’s more of the stuff we ran last year, so most of us have a lot of experience in that, where we’re still learning the zone scheme. So it helps us because we’re familiar with it and also it’s a nice change-up. Teams aren’t sure what’s coming at them, and it makes us more likely to be successful.”
What Wisniewski is saying here is the Oline is more experienced and used to running a gap scheme. At least he is. The other fact is because the zone scheme is basically the old “Cut blocking” scheme that Bill Walsh pioneered, you can’t practice that against your own starters or even second teamers because players REALLY hate to be cut blocked, especially Dlinemen who have the propensity to have short fuses to begin with.
So, most teams run a mix of zone and gap in their run games. Since the team really couldn’t practice the zone scheme that much, they would run it most of the time in games, to give their players experience at running it. Now, mixing in more gap with the zone scheme alters it up and is the desired run game plan anyway.

if Palmer continues to play at this level and dmac gets it going watch out we will be a force. still concerned about our WRs in the redzone but really impressed how DA has improved our D. we are really close

Palmer need to get on same page with Streater and Criner ,those are his go to guys in the RZ ,he just can’t get connect with them fades for some reason..but he should keep on trying ,those guys are tall and can our jump any DB

I don’t know who you’d be referring too, but if Knapp is here for the long haul, you can bet that more ZBS linemen will be brought in via draft, and FA.
Personally, I’m results oriented, and could care less what scheme(s) are implemented, so long as the end result is an efficient run game that helps the O score points.

Reece is a weapon a lot of teams would love to have. I know most want the traditional meathead but the difference is all they do is leadblock. It’s not as if Reece is a slouch blocking he’s just not your average meathead. He’s a threat in the passing game as well as the running game. We just don’t give him touches, now if that continues then yes give me an ol’ meathead. But if we’re going to put him i the pattern and run some FB dives I would much prefer Reece everyday allday.
November 1st, 2012 at 5:23 pm
You can put any scheme you want but it won’t go any where if players won’t execute,so I just want guys to stop dropping TD’s and I want McFadden to have better vision and actually break 1 on 1 tackles for once this year,until those things happen ,it won’t matter who’s the OC,our scoring will stay the same

After the miami game DA made the entire team watch film together,he moved huff to cb,after the bye he limited mcclain, our penalties are down, our D as good as it has looked in awhile. I dont know whose idea it was but it wouldnt surprise me if DA was the catalyst to tweek the running game. i know hes had issues managing the clock and had some questionable decisions, but overall for a young 1st year coach he has done a good job so far.imo

Right, if they can learn how to run this scheme successfully ,we can just draft Oline and Rb’s later in the drafts and sign cheap players at those positions in FA,which would leave us to spend the money on D and Wide Receivers and QB’s ,wouldn’t you want that problem where 2 groups would be taken care of and all we will have to worry about DL,LBs,DBs ,QB,WR and TEs

nice drive so far 2/2 on 3rd down conversions
November 1st, 2012 at 5:49 pm
I don’t know what was DA thinking when he hired knapp, some players we have are not made fr ZBS, maybe he was willing to sacrifice this year or maybe he thought it wouldn’t be this bad , but whatever it is , atleast we’re averaging close to 24 last 3 games after leaving so many points on the board
November 1st, 2012 at 5:50 pm
So DA decided he wanted to win games rather than let Knapp run his pure ZBS….very simple and gives us fans hope. Gotta love he Team staying united even with the horrific results of the ZBS. Know maybe Knapp will use his other weapons like Reece, Hagan, Jones etc….perhaps he needs to be reminded to shove”take wat the defense gives you” and remember the guy who first hired him. The original AD “we take what we want!”
November 1st, 2012 at 5:51 pm

November 1st, 2012 at 5:54 pm
We can def get better at this thing, as Wiz clearly stated that players are still learning this thing, we gotta be patience , we been averaging 24 last 3 games even after dropped TDs and plays called back due to penalties , we will be fine pretty soon, n atleast these guys are soon something about it , not just giving lip service like Hue”we will fix the penalties no matter how many games it takes ,I will be under control” and we all know what happened

Long bomb on the first play of the game is no good if the guy you’re throwing to sucks at that sort of play.
November 1st, 2012 at 5:59 pm
I defnitely like what I’m seeing on defense it such a breath of fresh air to see a well coordinated defense and the ability to articulate it’s deployment so a fan can understand it. The coordination in deployment are what we’re seeing that makes all the difference guys know immediately if they blew the integrity of the scheme and it gets corrected.
Tarver is a scientist at heart and it shows, once they really learn it he can start to add to it. That will be the cream it may not happen this year but you can see the light in the tunnel. It great!!
I’m not worried so much about the offense because of the abundance of talent there. Especially at QB he can make things go when necessary as well as DMC will eventually show his stuff. He’s just too talented not to along with the other backs. Too much talent to totally screw it up, so all Knapp has to do is creat situations and let the players play………..period

Rome wasn’t built in a day. we changed the systems on offense & defense. Reggie, Dennis & Jason are rookies. We unloaded a bunch of overpriced vets and my guess is that trend will continue this offseason starting with …?
you guessed it: Richard Seymour
Cooper Carlisle & Andre Carter will probably just retire. I doubt Bartell or Spencer will be back either
Kelly, McClain & Branch could be trade bait

Dan Snyder tries to buy a football team every year. Al Davis used to attempt the same thing. How often did that work out?
champions are guys who play as a team and execute their roles within a scheme. Like the Patriots first Super Bowl win with Tom Brady. that squad knew something about teamwork

After the miami game DA made the entire team watch film together,he moved huff to cb,after the bye he limited mcclain, our penalties are down, our D as good as it has looked in awhile. I dont know whose idea it was but it wouldnt surprise me if DA was the catalyst to tweek the running game. i know hes had issues managing the clock and had some questionable decisions, but overall for a young 1st year coach he has done a good job so far.imo

Da must have forced the changes at the bye.. since then there has been less stretch and bootleg playaction.

Who said Reggie should beg Hue to come back? I never said bring back Hue. That’s retarded like bringing back Knapp. Having Saunders as an OC next year is an option since he is under contract next year ( after we gave him an extension).

Hunter S Thompson on the Raiders:
Things were different in those years, but they were never dull. Every game was a terrifying adventure, win or lose, and the Raiders of the ’70s usually won — except in Pittsburgh, where cruel things happened and many dreams died horribly. You could see the early beginnings of what would evolve into the massive Raider Nation, which is beyond doubt the sleaziest and rudest and most sinister mob of thugs and whackos ever assembled in such numbers under a single “roof,” so to speak, anywhere in the English-speaking world.

Bruce & Joe suck in any scheme. Samson was actually brought in by Tom Cable to play in the zbs. He had experience in it from Miami. Bergs was the perfect choice for an O-Liner in the draft. He was a starter at RT for a team that ran the zbs in college. Problem is Reggie & Dennis had him working at LEFT GUARD all offseason!!

The Raiders primarily used a zone-blocking scheme early in the season. Knapp said he incorporated some gap-scheme blocking as a response to the lack of success running the ball.“Yeah, we had to make an adjustment,” Knapp said, “and that was a good adjustment for us. It paid off, you betcha.”
“It is nice,” Wisniewski said. “That’s more of the stuff we ran last year, so most of us have a lot of experience in that, where we’re still learning the zone scheme. So it helps us because we’re familiar with it and also it’s a nice change-up. Teams aren’t sure what’s coming at them, and it makes us more likely to be successful.”
What kind of OC doesn’t realize this until game 7? Shouldn’t you mix the familiar with the unfamiliar to start with and incorporate more of the new as the offense gets better at it, assuming it’s working? Or just go with total immersion, record be damned? At what point was he told we also want to win games?
********************************************************
Well, here’s what he COULD have said;
“We had no idea that these chuckleheads would take so long to learn how to block this scheme, or that the so-called elite running back we have would have such a hard time finding the holes that WERE actually created, so we decided to put in some stuff from the past couple of years so we could at least get SOME sort of ground game going. God knows how long iot’s going to take for these guys to get it right, but at least we won’t have to throw every down now and get our quarterback killed.”

If fans knew more than coaches, then this team would be starting Bruce Gradkowski, Bruce Campbell, Chaz Schilens, Stuart Schweigert and Stanford Routt. That’s why they’re just fans. They’re too knee-jerking, and too obsessed with certain guys from a handful of good plays, to make informed decisions about anything.
I wouldn’t say that Knapp mixing in more gap schemes means fans know more than coaches in the NFL. He just realized that DMac is too slow to read and react for a ZBS. They kept trying, hoping he would get it. But he’s not ever going to get it. They’ll just have to shelve that scheme until he’s gone – or injured again.

Saunders was OC in name only. The 2011 Raiders ran Hue Jackson’s offense with Hue calling all of the plays, and everyone knew it. The fact is that Saunders is not in demand as an OC/Playcaller. He still has a place as an assistant who work with the younger players and contribute to the gameplan, but you probably wouldn’t want him calling your O.

Yes. “Efficiency”…”tone setting”…and…….patience. Ahhh yes.
I had a wondeful opportunity to observe a warbler building a nest today. I was mesmerized by the intricate and meticulous manner in which he gathered the twigs neccessary to build the nest, with each twig placed perfectly in the right manner so as to build a fine foundation for the tiny warblings that would soon arrive.
The nest was crafted in such a position amongst the branches that it would stay firmly affixed should wind and storm threaten it’s stability.
It made me think of Reggie…our “nest builder” who is meticulously gathering the “twigs” (players) who will help build a strong foundation for our future.
With a firm foundation in place, it will allow the “warbler” (Reggie) to place his eggs (future draft picks) in a warm and safe environment which will allow then to be cared for and nurtured; and in due time, to hatch into fine, productive players.
Just as a warbler’s nest takes time and meticulous, painstaking effort, so too will the foundation of the franchise.
The “eggs” shall hatch my friends…perhaps to the tune of a winning record by year 9 of this re-build.
With a little luck and a sprinkling of stardust, we may just be able to have our “nest” completed by year 10.
Don’t look now, but you may just see a playoff team being built by Reggie the “nest builder”.
Patience is the cry heard in the east bay…will we heed it’s call?
It’s not that far off my friends…
10 and ….then.

ZBS scrapped by Allen and Reggie just in time for a very meaningful game coming up with the Bucs.
But my money says if we’d kept losing, the ZBS would still be here. But winning games and success with the no huddle has put us right into the mix of things. Carson is no dummy. For all we know, he could have gone directly to DA or Reggie and pleaded with them to sh!tcan the ’scheme’.

Yes, Priest, I know how zone blocking works. I also know that Tom Cable, when asked zone vs. gap/power blocking regarding prospective draft choices on the offensive line, said; “It’s not that big of a deal. The guy can either play or he can’t”.
I don’t think Knapp, Pollard or anyone else thought it would take as long as it has for these professional linemen to learn to block the scheme, or that McFadden would have the trouble he’s having hitting the holes that ARE there. If they did, we probably would have seen the “adjustments” that Knapp mentioned earlier.

=================================================
Sorry but this is a really dumb post. Maybe it’s fine for you but I am absolutely positive that 8-8 is NOT what this new organization is about. 8-8 is not about tinkering. It is about completely redoing. On all sides. So, if you did not want a rookie head coach who did you want? Bill Cowher? Jon Gruden? Something tells me if we were 3-4 with Bill Cowher right now you would complain that Reggie did not hire a young up and comer.
You say he should have hired experienced people to help the rookie. But not Knapp. OK, who then? Bill Walsh? Last time I looked, he was still dead.
Let me explain this quickly and efficiently: 8-8 is terrible. A new regime with success everywhere was hired because, well, 8-8 is terrible. It’s not “pon the verge”, it’s terrible. They are putting in THEIR systems. They really don’t care what you or anyone else think. And no they did not scrap the ZBS, nor are they changing things because the fans think so. In fact the more they resist what the fans think, the more I KNOW they are on the right track.

November 1st, 2012 at 7:43 pm
The issue is simple, great coaches biuld a system around the talent. They don’t force a system that is not to the great players strengths and Knaap did that to both the star QB and the star RB. How stupid is that??
Bill Walsh biuld an entire offense tailored to his QB. Whateve his strength were that what he did and NOTHING else. He had a HB named Paul Hofer and he put him in situations that made him look like a PB HB. And he was just an average Joe. The beauty of that is he took a team of average talent and won with it.
Jim Harbaugh to a complete BUST at QB and made a winner out of him, why? Because asked him to do ONLY what he was best at doing and nothing else. He won 13 games with an also-ran at QB in his first season as HC. Because he tailored everything to the talent and NOT some SCHEME……..simple genius……period

It’s very possible knapp is not a good teacher. Judging by his play calling and the amount of time it takes to get a call in, I’d say DAs’ decision to sh!tcan the ZBS is spot on.
And yes Tj, Carson and the Raiders mustered 3 wins in spite of knapp. We really could be 5-2, 6-1. But again, we just took a huge step in the right direction. DA puts the kaibosh on the ZBS. Awesome.

Jhill on the contrary Palmer is getting it done inspite of Knaap.
ET When you take a PBS and change to ZBS it’s much more difficult than the other way around because your asking guys to change from an aggressive approach to more technical choreoghraphic approach. It’s like asking a puncher to become a technician boxer. Then asking a back who is a speed back who attacks the hole to be patient read and burst. It’s a lot timing and finess rather than explosion and aggression.
********************************************************
Yes, Priest, I know how zone blocking works. I also know that Tom Cable, when asked zone vs. gap/power blocking regarding prospective draft choices on the offensive line, said; “It’s not that big of a deal. The guy can either play or he can’t”.
I don’t think Knapp, Pollard or anyone else thought it would take as long as it has for these professional linemen to learn to block the scheme, or that McFadden would have the trouble he’s having hitting the holes that ARE there. If they did, we probably would have seen the “adjustments” that Knapp mentioned earlier.
***************************************************
I know ET but they waited too long IMO, Because it’s much easier for Knaap to make the adjustment than the playersthis should have been done in OTA’s at the very latest preseason. They were stubborn the first 5 weeks the only thing that made them change was a 1-4 record and that is a shame biuld the offense around the talent…..period

It’s very possible knapp is not a good teacher. Judging by his play calling and the amount of time it takes to get a call in, I’d say DAs’ decision to sh!tcan the ZBS is spot on.
And yes Tj, Carson and the Raiders mustered 3 wins in spite of knapp. We really could be 5-2, 6-1. But again, we just took a huge step in the right direction. DA puts the kaibosh on the ZBS. Awesome.
********************************************************
Two things; one, the ZBS hasn’t been sh!tcanned, as you say. Knapp is mixing in gap and power concepts with the zone scheme.

“The issue is simple, great coaches biuld a system around the talent. They don’t force a system that is not to the great players strengths and Knaap did that to both the star QB and the star RB. How stupid is that??”

No offense Priest, but whether it’s too late or not hasn’t really been determined. We are still eligible for the playoffs and there are nine games left in the regular season.
There have been many instances of teams improving week by week and ending up pretty dangerous at the end. Ask Tom Coughlin. His teams do it all the time. We’re not the Giants, but you get the point.

I can agree, but I read into that gap and power as they got to save some face. You can’t have your staff come out and say that they effed up, so this is just a way of saving some face.
And you would think Pollard and knapp would be on the same page, but it’s evident they are not.
If Oakland had success with the gap and power, and none with the ZBS, then DA’s decision is the right one. They just have to be careful how they word it, but it’s obvious. And rightly so.

Not a copout at all. Pollard is the o-line coach, and he coaches the zone blocking scheme. He was brought here specifically to do that. Knapp is offensive coordinator. He does not coach the line.

Three reasons why we didn’t have more big victories last year;
1. Our best player missed the last ten games of the season and
2. Our qb didn’t had about three practices in the offense before he was thrown to the wolves and
3. Our defense was atrocious last season, this year we just stink on d.

Even if this isn’t basically the same team from last yr. u could argue we actually improved talent wise with the addition of Wheeler and Burris on defense.
We have what is just about an “average” defense now. Last yr. it was horrible and cost us the season.
Logic would state that if the offense can get their groove and the defense can play at “average” we SHOULD be a team that can compete with anyone in the league.
It doesn’t mean we’re going to the SB this yr…it just means we can be a team to be reckoned with and i’m ok with that, and if it leads to the playoffs? Better yet.

ET, I agree I wasn’t saying we have no chance I was saying we lost games unnecessarily. Palmer has had to carry the offense due to their stubbornness. What did they hope to gain from that?
In fact I told Lefty12 that I had a hunch things would take a turn for the better weeks ago…when we were 1-3. I just wish they ha dtaken the same approach as Denver did with Manning it’s just smart coaching.

Knapp incorporating more gap scheme in run game
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, November 1st, 2012 at 3:32 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders rushed for 135 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs. A large chunk of that total came during the fourth quarter, and some of that came on several plays in which the Raiders mixed in some gap-scheme blocking.
So says offensive coordinator Greg Knapp, who has come under fire from fans for his implementation of the zone-blocking scheme upon his arrival before this season.
“It was a good balance of zone blocking and the gap scheme, so it paid off pretty good,” Knapp said Thursday. “We definitely increased our gap run-blocking scheme to get a better balance and keep defenses honest, and we’ve done it well, so we’ll keep that same kind of formula working. It’s a good change-up for us to have some kind of gap scheme with that outsize zone. But the big runs came from the outside zone for us in the fourth quarter.”
The Raiders primarily used a zone-blocking scheme early in the season. Knapp said he incorporated some gap-scheme blocking as a response to the lack of success running the ball.
No, it had nothing to do with the ruckus raised by fan calling for Knapp’s job because of his steadfast desire to stick with the ZBS.
“Yeah, we had to make an adjustment,” Knapp said, “and that was a good adjustment for us. It paid off, you betcha.”
Center Stefen Wisniewski said he welcomes the addition of the gap-blocking scheme into the mix.
“It is nice,” Wisniewski said. “That’s more of the stuff we ran last year, so most of us have a lot of experience in that, where we’re still learning the zone scheme. So it helps us because we’re familiar with it and also it’s a nice change-up. Teams aren’t sure what’s coming at them, and it makes us more likely to be successful.”
Wisniewski said it was nothing but zone-blocking scheme from the outset, which made sense given that’s Knapp’s and offensive line coach Frank Pollack’s pedigree. However, the coaches aren’t so rigid that they are averse to change.
“They’re starting to get to know us better, and we’re getting to know them,” Wisniewski said, “so they’re seeing that we can be successful doing both.”
– Knapp has coached and been around some pretty notable quarterbacks during his long NFL career: Steve Young, Michael Vick, Matt Schaub, Matt Hasselbeck come to mind.
You get the sense that Carson Palmer rates right near the top in Knapp’s book based on the portrait Knapp paints of his signal-caller.
“He’s been the rock,” Knapp said. “As you guys hear his quotes and the way he handles a tough loss, he puts it on himself. He’s a true pro, he’s a true leader. He’s really helped us in the pass game from the stance of, we’re a top five team in sacks allowed, but he’s getting the ball out pretty quick, too. He’s done a fine job for us managing the game in that pocket situation and not having frustration.
“He really keeps his cool throughout, through thick and thin. … . He’s special, guys. I don’t know how many guys you’ve been around, but he’s special. He doesn’t say much, but I’ll tell you, Carson Palmer’s special in the way he leads a team and the way he prepares for a game. He’s very, very good.”
High praise, indeed.
– Allen said cornerback Shawntae Spencer’s recovery from a right foot injury he suffered more than six weeks ago isn’t going as well as hoped for.
“He has not had any setbacks,” Allen said. “The progress has slowed a lot more than what we anticipated. We anticipated there would be more progress by this point in time, but it’s coming around a little slower than what we had hoped. It’s through no fault of his, just the nature of his injury.”
Spencer said last Friday that he still experiences some pain in his foot from time to time but that he remains hopeful of a return before long.
“I’m not in control of the timetable,” Spencer said. “Whatever they say, is whatever they say. So, I come to work, do whatever I got to do, do what they ask. Whenever doc clears me, he clears me.”
Spencer hasn’t practiced since he got hurt against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 16. There is no timetable for him to return to practice.
– Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano caused quite a stir earlier this season when he instructed his players to get after Giants quarterback Eli Manning while Manning was performing a kneel down at the end of a victory over the Bucs.
Giants coach Tom Coughlin took exception to the questionable tactic, and he let Schiano know about it during the postgame handshake.
Knapp said he is aware of what transpired and that his players are prepared for the situation should it arise Sunday.
“We’ve alerted our guys, ‘Alright, this is what they’ve done, so don’t … ‘ ”
So, don’t get caught offguard.
“We make sure that we’re in the mode of aggressive blocking up front,” Knapp said. “Sometimes, that down is kind of a relaxed down. We’re making sure, no, don’t take it as a relaxed down. Very similar to when we set up the field goal against Jacksonville, when Carson went out there and just went over a step and took a knee. That kind of blocking scheme, where we’re making sure we don’t let any penetration come through the inside.”
Knapp said this is the first time in his coaching career where he has had to address the prospect of a team going all out during a kneeldown situation.
Allen smiled when asked if he was aware of the dustup between the Giants and Buccaneers.
“We’ll be ready,” Allen said. “Our job is to be ready for anything. So we’ll be ready for it.”
– The Buccaneers traded cornerback Aqib Talib to the New England Patriots on Thursday in the only reported trade before the league deadline.
In a roundabout way, that might preclude the Patriots from re-signing cornerback Sterling Moore — he cleared waivers today — and keep him available for the Raiders to sign.
– Sebastian Janikowski wasn’t in the locker room to talk about being named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month.
So, we turn to Allen for his thoughts on Janikowski receiving the honor.
“That obviously means he’s kicking it good,” Allen said. “He’s done a good job. It’s a comforting thing to know you can put him out there and feel confident that he’s going to kick it through. We’ve put him in a couple game-winning situations, and he’s come through both times. That’s really a comforting feeling for the coach to have to make that decision.”
Janikowski has converted 18 of 19 field-goal attempts this season, with his lone miss coming from 64 yards against the Jaguars. He kicked a 40-yarder in overtime to win that game for the Raiders.
– Remember when Allen said he and his coaches were going to break down the Raiders from “A to Z” during the bye week? Well, here’s Allen’s take on how much progress the Raiders made the past three games.
“We’ve got some things corrected,” Allen said. “We’ve been better in some areas but we still have a long way to go. We still have a lot of things we have to get better at. It doesn’t matter what your record is, that’s always the case. You have to continue to improve throughout this 16-game season.”
– Wide receiver Denarius Moore has scored a touchdown in each of the past three games. On more than one occasion, Moore scored because of his ability to elude defenders in the open field an find a way into the end zone.
That inate ability to get ino the end zone is something that isn’t easily taught, Knapp said/
“It’s awfully hard to coach,” Knapp said. “It’s awfully hard to coach. His YAC ability, yards after catch or contact, whatever you want to choose, he’s got a unique ability to be able to make the first one miss. He has a little bit of space and that makes it awfully hard on defense. It’s a special trait he has, and it’s awfully hard to coach.”

********************************************************
It’s my opinion that they didn’t think it would take this long for the line (and McFadden) to be up to speed with the scheme. They decided to keep plugging away, hoping that the light would come on. When they realized (as you did) that it was getting pretty late in the season to not have a consistent ground game the decision was made to incorporate more from the past couple of years.
Others will say they were too stubborn to change or to admit that what they were doing wasn’t working, and are grudgingly going back to what the guys are more comfortable with. I don’t agree with that, but everyone’s entitled to their opinion.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:19 pm
The reason I say that ET is because coaches are notorious for that. They always think what their doing is the best way to win, the great coaches assess the talent and measure the scheme accordingly. That’s all I’m saying it was typical approach for a coach who believes in his plan. Notghing wrong with that unless you don’t have the talent suited for it.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:21 pm

We’re all getting nit picky here, so to keep it up, whose ZBS is Pollard coaching? It’s Knapps ZBS. All ZBS’s are not the same. And with your argument, Brisiel, from Houston, coached by Pollard, should have less difficulty than our dumb linemen, but is struggling more than anybody but Willis. Again, maybe Knapps scheme isn’t very good. I can’t think of any more ways to put it, so I’ll let it rest now and hope for the best.

Is there any reason you won’t just evaluate the offense since the bye week?
CLEARLY it is getting better each week as the players and coaches get more familiar wih each other.

When you analyze/ evaluate something, you do analyze / evaluate the entire process. You don’t choose a selected sample and ignore the test of the samples.

Busch in the Cayman islands:
Organizers of an investment conference in the Cayman Islands say they have been forbidden from disclosing any details about a speech by former President George W. Busch in the offshore financial haven, an event spokesman said Thursday.
Maybe he’s giving them tips on how to make money at the expense of another financial crisis?

November 1st, 2012 at 8:47 pm
Here’s what the editor of ‘Pro Football Weekly’ Hub Arkush wrote at the beginning of the season with his iron clad predictions.
Just for a laugh.
………
AFC West
1. Kansas City — They’re healthy now, they’ve added Eric Winston and Peyton Hillis, replaced Todd Haley with Romeo Crennel, and this just may be the year that Glenn Dorsey, Tyson Jackson and Justin Houston all arrive. I think they’re the best in the West and the stars will all align to put them in the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
2. San Diego — I really like what A.J. Smith did with this roster during the offseason and think they’re a wild-card team. However, I’m very worried about all the early injuries, particularly to Jared Gaither and Ryan Mathews.
3. Denver — Peyton will be Peyton, but I also expect the rest of this roster to be as mediocre as it appears to be. This will be easily the weakest group of receivers Manning’s had in a decade and there are many questions on defense.
4. Oakland — I’m a Carson Palmer fan, but watching last year, there just didn’t appear to be much left. Other than “Run DMC” — if he’s healthy — there isn’t much on the rest of the roster, either.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:47 pm
Priest,
I posted earlier that I thought that the new regime was going to implement their schemes and plans immediately, regardless of current personnel.
I think Reggie McKenzie and the coaches know that there are some square pegs in round holes. I think they hope that some of those square pegs can work their way into some of those round holes, but their view of how they want the team to play we be the determining factor in who stays and who goes.
Risky? Sure. However, some look at McKenzie’s experience with Green Bay and his reputation around the league and are confident that he’s a great choice as GM. I’m in that category. I think he has a vision and is moving aggressively to implement it. He seems to making good decisions with the resources he has, while at the same time ensuring financial flexibility and viability for future years. I like his choice as head coach. So, I trust him.
Some see his never being a GM before as a negative. To each his own.
November 1st, 2012 at 8:49 pm

Exactly. There is more than one way for doing things, and we did have success with ZBS under Cable.

Rest* of the samples.
Our offense did improve after the 1st 2 games. That’s a fact and it’s supported by stats, but is it enough progress?
You tell me. We scored 139 points and 12 TDs in 7 games.
We averaged more points last year without our best weapon on offense and our starting QB.

That’s the awesome thing about being a fan. There will ALWAYS be something to debate, no matter who your team is.
There are probably fans in New England that are mad at Belichik right now because Sterling Moore got cut today, and fans of the same team that can’t believe he hung on as long as he did, lol.

He is a rookie GM, and rookies make mistakes. That’s why I’m not welling to trust every decision made by Reggie like implementing a scheme that doesn’t fit the talent on our roster.
November 1st, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Hub Arkush proves what a fake he is.
He says he was “watching last yr”. and Palmer didn’t appear to have much left.
Was it the last game when he closed out the yr. going 30-42 417 yd’s and 2 td’s that made him think that?
November 1st, 2012 at 9:09 pm
Ok. Here’s something.
SD just beat KC and i’m hearing alot of praise for them and how “they’re back” etc. etc. and how Norv saved his job…yet they beat KC at HOME and the Raiders…? well they beat KC on the road and it’s “a game they should have won” “nothing u can take from this” etc. etc.
I did just see on NFLN some talk on how SD really hasn’t beaten anybody this yr. yet.
November 1st, 2012 at 9:18 pm
SD had two receivers who have been there less than a week STARTING tonight, and they both made plays…a couple of good ones.
You CAN bring in guys to a new team and have them make an impact right away.
I’d like to see our probowler Andre Carter make an impact.

Why do ppl keep bring up michael freakin bush? What part of NO MONEY dont u understand.
Reggie at the time had zero money to pay what bush was look for. He is not worth the 3yr 9 million dollar contract that he got. How many extra games would he have helped us win? IDK… but i do know its not that big of a deal imo. He was stuffed three straight times on the goal line last year as well. but every time we got the 1 yard line Carson or DMAC has gotten in this year.
Goodson is always getting positive yardage when he comes in.. and is averaging like 7 yards a carry. Enough of Bush
Bush was a luxury Reggie/ Raiders couldnt afford nor would he want to imo even if he had the money. THe offense was gonna be built on DMAC.
this year bush has 67 carriers for 247 yards averaging 3.7 yard a carry
November 1st, 2012 at 9:55 pm
Goodson has 15 carriers for 111 yards this year with a long of 43 yards. and he is a Kick Returner

The Raiders primarily used a zone-blocking scheme early in the season. Knapp said he incorporated some gap-scheme blocking as a response to the lack of success running the ball.
No, it had nothing to do with the ruckus raised by fan calling for Knapp’s job because of his steadfast desire to stick with the ZBS.
“Yeah, we had to make an adjustment,” Knapp said, “and that was a good adjustment for us. It paid off, you betcha.”

Not so sure about that, necessarily. You’ll want to be alert and cautious, as it could possibly attempt to install malware on your machine. Not saying it will happen, but it’s possible. Make sure your virus definitions are up to date and that your virus software is running, of course.
I once visited an innocent enough site while at work (think it was sports related), and it installed some malware that was a bit tedious to remove. If the page hangs while loading, you may want to close it immediately and shut down your browser.

I see J Hill wants us to get a REAL FB, what for? we dont even employ the I formation to often. Reece is a mismatch waiting to happen if used right and what I mean by that is catching a D in its base D and having Reece on a LB. I see them flexing Reece out quite a bit but I would like to see him start his route out of the backfield to cause a bit more confusion. picture this we catch a D intheir base 4-3 we come out in the I formation Dwow left DHB right Recce and Dmac in the backfield, now we send our Wr on deep to intermediate routes Reece comes outta the backfield to the right Dmac to the left the TE is also in play so we have five receivers out on routes. in this scenario some body should be wide open for either a good gain or a big play, this is something I have yet to see.

JERRY JONES NAMED CHAIRMAN OF NFL NETWORK COMMITTEE
COMMITTEE NOW INCLUDES PAT BOWLEN, ROBERT KRAFT, STAN KROENKE & MARK RICHARDSON
The NFL announced today the appointment of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones as the new chairman of the NFL Network Committee, which acts as the executive board of the league’s year-round television service.
“NFL Network is an important long-term asset for the NFL,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “It is critical we ensure broad and affordable access to NFL Network to help better serve and grow our fan base.”
“My immediate and primary objective is to ensure broad distribution of NFL Network to our millions of fans across the land,” said Jones. “Today there are more options than ever before for consumers in terms of choosing a television provider. Satellite companies like DirecTV and Dish Network and telecommunications companies like Verizon and AT&T offer NFL Network on broad packages without extra costs to consumers. Those fans whose access to NFL Network is still being blocked by their cable provider will have both the opportunity and the incentive to switch providers if cable continues to deny customers the programming they want.”
Joining Jones on the NFL Network Committee are:
· Denver Broncos President and CEO Pat Bowlen
· New England Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft
· St. Louis Rams Owner/Vice Chairman Stan Kroenke
· Carolina Panthers President Mark Richardson

“It was a good balance of zone blocking and the gap scheme, so it paid off pretty good,” Knapp said Thursday. “We definitely increased our gap run-blocking scheme to get a better balance and keep defenses honest….”
Is this our Aha moment? Im praying that we start keeping the D’s honest. Throw some damn screens and run some different run schemes.
November 1st, 2012 at 11:52 pm
I really like that TE screen they ran a few times… Myers stayed in to block , Palmer rolled out onto the other side and hit Myers for a nice 20+ yard again, my only problem is they should have used a faster player like Ausberry or Reece… and i have not seen that play called many times … but it worked wonderfully when ever they called it

COMMITTEE NOW INCLUDES PAT BOWLEN, ROBERT KRAFT, STAN KROENKE & MARK RICHARDSON
The NFL announced today the appointment of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones as the new chairman of the NFL Network Committee, which acts as the executive board of the league’s year-round television service.
“NFL Network is an important long-term asset for the NFL,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “It is critical we ensure broad and affordable access to NFL Network to help better serve and grow our fan base.”
“My immediate and primary objective is to ensure broad distribution of NFL Network to our millions of fans across the land,” said Jones. “Today there are more options than ever before for consumers in terms of choosing a television provider. Satellite companies like DirecTV and Dish Network and telecommunications companies like Verizon and AT&T offer NFL Network on broad packages without extra costs to consumers. Those fans whose access to NFL Network is still being blocked by their cable provider will have both the opportunity and the incentive to switch providers if cable continues to deny customers the programming they want.”
Joining Jones on the NFL Network Committee are:
· Denver Broncos President and CEO Pat Bowlen
· New England Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft
· St. Louis Rams Owner/Vice Chairman Stan Kroenke
· Carolina Panthers President Mark Richardson

Raiders get no love among those committee members, homie.

I really like that TE screen they ran a few times… Myers stayed in to block , Palmer rolled out onto the other side and hit Myers for a nice 20+ yard again, my only problem is they should have used a faster player like Ausberry or Reece… and i have not seen that play called many times … but it worked wonderfully when ever they called it

yeah I liked that! Busted out the TE screen from the BACK of the playbook!

O,
Is there any reason you won’t just evaluate the offense since the bye week?
CLEARLY it is getting better each week as the players and coaches get more familiar wih each other.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Bro,
When you analyze/ evaluate something, you do analyze / evaluate the entire process. You don’t choose a selected sample and ignore the test of the samples.
=====================================
Good suggestion. Please evaluate the special teams and field position for each possession for each of the lst seven games and then report back. Moron.

I can tell you why: that guy is a Charger dick sucking troll that’s why. He hates that we can come in here and talk Raider football. Have you not noticed that since he is here there are 10-12 others that come in here with the express reason to do nothing but screw this scene up? Now most of those 10-12 are really just him, but still, that idiot is the lst one that should be ignored here.

on the raider tip, look for palmer to have 400-500 yards and at least 3 td’s. the game is gonna be tuff but we will pass all day.
i’m thinking myers gets a td and we might see pryor in the redzone as a wr. just a feeling based on them working out a qb this week.

PS you dont have to list his accomplishments and tell us that he cant possibly do all those things every day.

November 2nd, 2012 at 3:54 am
I have never been one to say I told you so but the DA slapped Knapples with an injunction and Knapples is singing another tune.
If Knapps ZBS continues to fail the DA will make changes and that is exactly what we are seeing.
DA is a winner and a great coach.
Next Plunkdiction
Get your tickets for when the mules stroll into town.
The DA and the MS will have some wicked stuff in store for bighead.
November 2nd, 2012 at 4:05 am
Saunders was OC in name only. The 2011 Raiders ran Hue Jackson’s offense with Hue calling all of the plays, and everyone knew it. The fact is that Saunders is not in demand as an OC/Playcaller. He still has a place as an assistant who work with the younger players and contribute to the gameplan, but you probably wouldn’t want him calling your O.

Duck drops a knowledge bomb on Raider O!
November 2nd, 2012 at 4:13 am
No one forced Reggie to hire a rookie HC with 1 experience at DC, a rookie DC, and then Knapp. Could have added more experience or proven people (not Knapp) to help the rookie HC.
Again: this is not like building an empire. It’s fixing a team that finished 8-8 the last seasons with 2 different coaching staffs.
***
O,
#1 Reggie hired Dennis Allen because he’s an up & coming coach in the league. a bright energetic guy with a great reputation in the league who has served under some really good HC’s. They have the same approach. discipline. no knuckleheads. both high character guys. Reggie hired DA and let him choose his own staff (smart move). Perhaps you’d rather the GM pick the OC, DC & position coaches to work under him, like Al Davis used to? that’s dysfunctional
#2 you keep complaining about the W/L record when we’re only 7 games into the season!! o ye of little faith. you don’t think the team will continue to improve and finish at 8-8 or better?
November 2nd, 2012 at 4:13 am
Sanders and his 5,000 page playbook was part of that all star coaching staff Snyder put together in another of his failed attempts to kickstart the skins.
He did have one good run in KC with horses for RB.
I thought nobody any good would work for Al? He always had to take the bottom of the barrel left over when everyone else was done?
This is a new team in a new direction. No time to wonder about what if we could have improved upon a miserable 8-8 season
November 2nd, 2012 at 4:19 am
Reg will prove out to be a great hire and everything will improve around the entire operation because of him.
He is a smooth operator. Other GM’s dont have to worry about Reggie bullcrapping them. They just have to figure out how to BS Reg. Which is not happening.
The man put in his time at GB. He is not one of billacheats boy wonders who were delivering pizzas 15 years ago.
He will put together a blue collar team that will fit in Oakland and the community will be proud to have.
November 2nd, 2012 at 4:21 am
Maybe it’s fine for you but I am absolutely positive that 8-8 is NOT what this new organization is about. 8-8 is not about tinkering. It is about completely redoing. On all sides. So, if you did not want a rookie head coach who did you want? Bill Cowher? Jon Gruden? Something tells me if we were 3-4 with Bill Cowher right now you would complain that Reggie did not hire a young up and comer.
You say he should have hired experienced people to help the rookie. But not Knapp. OK, who then? Bill Walsh? Last time I looked, he was still dead.
Let me explain this quickly and efficiently: 8-8 is terrible. A new regime with success everywhere was hired because, well, 8-8 is terrible. It’s not “pon the verge”, it’s terrible. They are putting in THEIR systems. They really don’t care what you or anyone else think. And no they did not scrap the ZBS, nor are they changing things because the fans think so. In fact the more they resist what the fans think, the more I KNOW they are on the right track.

I always felt when Al passed on thast the team would be screwed because GM’s and most all coaches are 50-50 at best. But Reggie is the perfect hire. Blue collar work ethic and lifestyle. He is not a primadonna that wears thousand dollar suits. Thank you Al.
Should have known Al Davis would not do that to his team. There was a succesion plan and we will benefit from it for years into the future. Dont be despondent. This team is on the rise. Future looks bright and it starts with Reggie

I love how I debate using stats and Facts, and you people argue like Clowns.
Asking questions?
Do you have any facts/ stats, or are you going to keep arguing based on opinions. You do know the difference, correct?
Let me give you some facts/ stats to help you think better:
Knapp was OC in Atlanta from 04′ – 06′.
04′ Atl was 16th in scoring
05′ Atl was 14th in scoring
06′ Atl was 25th in scoring.\
Kanpp was OC in Oakland 07′ – 08′
07′ Oak was 23rd in scoring
08′ Oak was 29th in scoring
Knapp was OC in Seattle in 09′
09′ Sea was 25th in scoring
Raider O Says:
November 1st, 2012 at 7:46 pm
You Monkeys like facts:
Facts:
-139 points and 12 TDs in 7 games.
-We averaged more points/ game last year without our best player and starting QB.
-DMAC is averaging 3+ YPC after he averaged 5+ the last 2 seasons including a year with ZBS under Cable.
-DHB is averaging 2+ catches/ game after he averaged 4+ last seasons.
-Knapp’s offenses strugked to score and were ranked in the 20’s the last 4 years of his career as OC with 4 different teams.
Analyze those stats you effin Monkeys!

So, this is the scoop on Reggie so far (according to blog logic):
1. He is doing a solid job because he doesn’t wear expensive suits.
2. He has a great plan in place, “Ten and Then”, that will have the Raiders competing for the AFC West in 10 years, and then a Super Bowl run in 15.
3. He is the only living Neanderthal and drools a lot.
November 2nd, 2012 at 6:23 am
Man Knapp is awesome!!!
Didn’t panic and stayed the course implementing a system to have in place, using road games we weren’t going to win anyways (Den, Mia, ATL) to practice it out. Now we can start running things to counter that base, and will be playing our best offense and running game, down the stretch of the season.
I look forward to another 4-6 years of Knapp’s brilliance on the sidelines.

Don’t understand the overreaction to Reece so far.
Last year he averaged 9 yards a game rushing and 25 yards a game receiving.
He is averaging 25 yards a game receiving this year as well, but not being used in the running game.
Now I would like to see him get a few more carries, but really 9 rushing yards a game is what some people are getting their panties in a wad over?
Yikes!!!!

Good job growth numbers, but so many people left the “workforce” the unemployment ticked up .1%
Unemployment rate is officially higher then when O’bumski took office.

Maybe you should consider performance when judging people, and focus less on what they wear.
Lost what? I can’t debate/ argue with you people with this kind of logic:
Reggie is perfect because he doesn’t wear expensive suits.
Knapp is good because he was hired bt teggie and DA.

After the Miami loss DA had the entire team watch film together,he then inserts huff at cb and makes mcclain a part time player, the penalties are down, our defense is playing at its highest level in years, we had a comeback win where we were down 14 points in the 3rd quarter(cant remember the last raider team to do that), IMO DA for a young 1st YR HC has some promise. Yes, he had some time management issues but some of the things he has been able to accomplish in 7 games no raider coach in a long time has been able to fix. Winning this weekend would make us 4-4 and give me hope for a successful season.

November 2nd, 2012 at 7:36 am
Yup, a win this weekend would put a better guage on where we are really heading. However, at least we were able to beat the 2 worse teams in the league! And after watching the game last night…wow, KC is just awful and probably without Charles for a moment!
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:39 am
Agreed Hwnrdr,
We beat a couple of very bad teams. Not an accurate gauge of where we are. But we are winning the games that need to be won. Tampa will be a little stiffer challenge. But in the end, I see us getting to 4-4 and tied with the Chargers after the weekend.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:40 am
Well how about that, the powers that be recognize and admit to the faulty running game and institute more gap runs.
It’s a whole new can of worms now folks. This will be a better team, somewhat reminiscent of what we have been accustom to on offense.
The Bucs are going to lose. Mark it down.
November 2nd, 2012 at 7:42 am
Yup! TB is scary because they are similar to us with them starting slow and then coming out and winning games! But I think if CP plays smart and the crew of Wheeler and Burris can continue to terrorize the offense, we shoud be able to come out ahead!

November 2nd, 2012 at 7:46 am
This move to more gap schemes was planned from the beginning of the season.
You have to implement and establish a base, first and foremost. Just like you didn’t see ANY 3-4, or sub packages defensively, we also mostly ran ZBS the first month.
Now that it has been established, you can branch of from it. Just like the defense now, where we have multiple looks that we didn’t have the first month of the season.
Knapp is playing to have his team play their best ball in December, and we will.

That Atl game should have been won but wasnt do to zbs.
——————————–
I don’t think you actually watched that game. They didn’t lose because of ZBS. They lost because of a late go-ahead pick 6 and then prevent defense on Atlanta’s winning FG drive.
The Raiders averaged 4.7 yards per carry in that game and had 475 yards total offense. If you hate ZBS, that’s fine. But don’t say it was the reason they lost a game when it clearly wasn’t.

568. The switch to more gap blocking was not planned.. b.s.
DA evaluated during the bye and made knapp make changes. Gap blocking. Fewer stretch runs and bootleg play actions.. now we’re running between tackles and using a regular play action and throwing some deep routes to moore.. he would have been fired if da wasnt his friend.

Let’s net get ahead ourselves here. We haven’t sniffed the playoffs in a decade and we win 2 games against arguably the 2 worst teams in the NFL and we are playoff contenders?
Wishful thinking, but cause for hope. We aren’t with Denver just yet, and maybe never will be this year. So lets temper the optimism.
The org is heading in a better way though, that much you can say.
November 2nd, 2012 at 8:05 am
We should beat Tampa, and I think we split the next 2 games against New Orleans and Baltimore. Either are beatable but I think we will have to play lights out to win one of those games. I could see us 5-5 and chasing for a wildcard spot down the stretch. The schedule isn’t that daunting.

tampa’s confident and has the players on o, run d is at the top of the league we have the talent but haven’t been able to put it all together so they SHOULD beat us. To win our redzone trips must be td’s. Myers, Ausberry, Reece, or DHB have to step up alongside Moore to get us some td’s

Yes it was planned.
Didn’t the DA say we were going to be “multiple” on defense? Then what, the first month we looked the same every single snap. 4-3, Rolando in the middle, mostly zone on the back end.
Our base has been “established” and now we are branching off it. You can’t branch of something if there is nothing there in the first place.

The Raiders primarily used a zone-blocking scheme early in the season. Knapp said he incorporated some gap-scheme blocking as a response to the lack of success running the ball.
No, it had nothing to do with the ruckus raised by fan calling for Knapp’s job because of his steadfast desire to stick with the ZBS.
“Yeah, we had to make an adjustment,” Knapp said, “and that was a good adjustment for us. It paid off, you betcha.”
Center Stefen Wisniewski said he welcomes the addition of the gap-blocking scheme into the mix.
“It is nice,” Wisniewski said. “That’s more of the stuff we ran last year, so most of us have a lot of experience in that, where we’re still learning the zone scheme. So it helps us because we’re familiar with it and also it’s a nice change-up. Teams aren’t sure what’s coming at them, and it makes us more likely to be successful.”

Hwnrdr,
That’s how it usually works, so you are correct, but that’s not the case here.
We implemented a system that doesn’t fit our Playets, they struggled, sp we had to change things.
There is a difference between establishing a good foundation with success then branching off, and trying something new because you are having issues establishing your foundation.

the los angeles lakers are a great example of the huge difference between big name free agent acquisitions and smart team building. they’re major weakness over the past 13 years? stopping ball.
so they’re strategy was to go out and get a washed up future hall of famer who was terrible at stopping ball when he was in his prime.
i prefer the reggie mac way of acquiring people with good character who are passionate about the game and know how to play it. teams like that can overachieve as a unit.

good point. i’m not burying the lakers btw, i’m sure they’ll have a good regular season.
however, given how much money they are spending this year…anything less than a world title will be failure, and i just don’t see them possibly being one of the top two teams in the west. they got embarassed at home by the mavericks (who were starting a brand new team) even, so they might not even end up in the top 3.
it’s all about return on investment, and i like what i am seeing from reggie mac. we got GREAT value over the summer, and i can’t wait to see what he does with draft picks and a team that will become a popular destination for FAs.

If Reece were an NBA player, he would be a Steve Novack, Reggie Evans type player.
A complete one-trick pony, and role player off the bench.
The guy averaged 34 yards a game from scrimmage last year with 1 TD, and by the way people talk him up in here, you would think he was the second coming of Jim Kiick or something.

Why the hell did we sign Schmitt, if we don’t use him? I think its time to utilize a true FB in the run game. Let him bust some heads in front of DMAC.
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:46 am
huge game sunday. that’s alot of momentum tampa has that we’re trying to stop. forget the stats, knapp better not pass pass pass on them we have to establish the run on them, peterson did it. if we do it’ll come down to cp v freeman, let’s see who’s better

What did he do? What did I miss?
*********************
-He drafted a LB in the 5th round, who is already better through 8 games than Al’s 1st round pick is in his 3rd season.
-Picked up Wheeler, who is our best FA LB pickup in Gawd only knows how long.
-Replaced Routt with Pat Lee, who is better and makes 1/8th the salary, and will get a comp pick for Routt to boot.
-Hired a great HC, who has our run D better than it has been in almost 10 years.
-Got the salary cap in order in one offseason, and we are primed to be major players in FA moving forward, for once.
-Fleeced the Panthers with the Bruce Campbell trade.
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:51 am
We’re not that far off from last years scoring average ,I think we didn’t drop that many passes as we’re doing this year, we’re always in the red zone,with couple of adjustments here and there ,we can start playing scoring even more than last year … Last year was fluke,if the team was good they would have scored more in 2nd half’s, no?

If Reece were an NBA player, he would be a Steve Novack, Reggie Evans type player.
A complete one-trick pony, and role player off the bench.
The guy averaged 34 yards a game from scrimmage last year with 1 TD, and by the way people talk him up in here, you would think he was the second coming of Jim Kiick or something.
__________________________________________________
Totally agree, although it would be nice to see him used a little more to his strengths (A little). Put him in motion and use him as a decoy on run plays.
I am happy with Marcel Reece being our “mascot” fan favorite player in the Bill Parcells defination. See Wayne Chrebet(sic).
November 2nd, 2012 at 9:53 am
All the tricks And some fake punts led to our team scoring more points, in 1st half ,but teams caught upto that bs in 2nd halves and shut us down in most of the games

If our team can do some gap blocking better then I believe they can run ZBS as well but they are just being stubborn , forcing a guy to implement a scheme which is his not strength ,McFadden is being a lil b1tch , first of all the guy does not look same, he looks slower and goes down easily ,2nd he have open holes for him some times ,all he decide to do is run up ol’s ass and go down , 3rd our receivers s8kk ,as you guys saw in kC game , Streater didn’t even run the right route in EZ on 3rd down, the play before that Moore dropped that easy pass for a first down but lets blame knapp cuz we didn’t get a TD on that drive
November 2nd, 2012 at 10:00 am

Quit your b1tchin for once, you guys sound like Mistic , always bagging 1 guy all the time, open your eyes and see that the faults of this team goes beyond knapp , another OC Won’t turn our receivers into HoFs or McFadden will automatically start freaking breaking tackles all of a sudden , the reason why those gap runs worked against KC is Cuz they didn’t game plan for them , and plus they were tired
November 2nd, 2012 at 10:07 am
I think you have to take into consideration that DMAC probably hasn’t looked like himself because he’s obviously not comfortable running behind the ZBS. He looked great when he took off against the Steelers on that long run. In hopes to preserve his body from punishment, maybe he’s not running as hard???

He did look great but i bet you he would have gone down if some one was three to stop him in open field , the other guy still almost got him..not sure our team can consistently run gap runs ,they worked in 4th quarter against a tired d ,big freaking deal

I would offer a 5th or 6th for the Honey Badger, and make him our primary return man. I think he can be very good in that role.
Not much of a future for him defensively in the NFL. He is 5′9, 170 pound safety, and wasn’t really all that good in coverage.
He was maybe the 3rd or 4th best cover guy on his own team, if that.

November 2nd, 2012 at 10:16 am
I’ll take a running game that is much more productive against a “tired” D in the 4th quarter, over a run game that is non existent for the whole game. Pounding the rock in the 4th quarter wears out the D and gives you a much better chance of winning the game.

I agree with all of those, EXCEPT we won’t get a comp pick for Routt because we released him. You only get comp picks for players whose contract expired and signed elsewhere, so neither Routt, Wimbley or Boss qualifies. Bush and Campbell would.

I love how the Hue crowd always state we just needed a better D and everything would have been fine.

Exactly man, the other day the guy was telling me how 00 ravens 02 bucks and niners always play good D and our d could never make a stop, then I replied to him and told him that Hue knew what kinda D he had after the 2nd game ,so it’s hues fault to put the game in hands of his d all those times, all he needed was put more points on board than usual fg in 2nd half to win games,putting points not only asks the other team to score more for come back but also it kills off the time

I do think we are better off long term with Hue gone… my problem is that I think we would have been better off this year if Allen had simply kept the offense the same with Saunders as OC… at least for one year.

Hue didn’t even get offered a head coaching job at the high school level after he left the Raiders. Fck him and his nails!
November 2nd, 2012 at 10:28 am
Glad to see some much needed coaching adjustments, we should have acted faster but there’s still time to get this Offense playing up to their potential, gotta give Knapp credit for implementing some of the stuff that worked in the past, it may have taken him awhile but some guys won’t adjust until it’s too late, with 9 games left that’s not the case here.

Uhh….Hue was running both schemes to keep teams off balance the last two years.
However, he went to a primary power blocking, pulling, trap and counter scheme instead of running the stupid outside zone as a primary blocking scheme.
Knapp is barely figuring it out, that it’s about mixing it up on a consistent basis in this league to keep D’s off balance??

“Yeah, we had to make an adjustment,” Knapp said, “and that was a good adjustment for us. It paid off, you betcha.”
Center Stefen Wisniewski said he welcomes the addition of the gap-blocking scheme into the mix.
“It is nice,” Wisniewski said. “That’s more of the stuff we ran last year, so most of us have a lot of experience in that…”.
—————————————————–
Coaches don’t listen to the fans, they get pressure from them and the media but they don’t act just on fan criticism.
That being said, any Coach worth a damn would look at what worked last year and try to implement some of it when things aren’t working under his system, just like Knapp did with running game, the amazing part is that it took this long.
But like I said on Monday and like Wis just said, it appears Coaches and players are starting to get comfortable with each other and it should only get better from this point on, there’s a lot of improvement to be made but we seem to be getting better as the season goes on and it starts with coaches and players trusting in each other, I’m not sure that was the case early in the season.

On January 31, 2012, following Hue Jackson’s firing, new coach Dennis Allen named Greg Knapp as the team’s offensive coordinator, replacing Saunders. After interviewing for several vacant offensive coordinator positions with other organizations, Saunders agreed to return to Oakland as Senior Offensive Assistant for the 2012 season. wikipedia
November 2nd, 2012 at 11:01 am
Regardless of what happens to our offense, I bet Knapp returns as a Assistant Senior Offensive Mentor Consultant, or not at all next year.

Knapp’s offense seems to be getting a bit better, but I don’t care about yards per game. I want points on the board. Better play calling in the red zone dammit!
–
It’s getting better but better play calling have to go with bêtter execution ..Moore dropped a pass on 2nd down, Streater didn’t cut the route off on 3rd down and in comes fg unit, can’t blame everything on knapp
November 2nd, 2012 at 11:01 am
It’s clear that Knappy is trying to install other things to the offense. Good to see him try to make a change for once.
You want to get that run game going?
Try running DMAC or Goodson behind Schmitt for once!!!!

We all know Streater can snag passes at their highest point so I want to see one of those fades work , can’t rem the last time we scored a TD on a fade route lol

-Replaced Routt with Pat Lee, who is better and makes 1/8th the salary, and will get a comp pick for Routt to boot.
——————–
Don’t think you can get a comp pick for releasing a player under contract, Numbers Guy.
Life is all numbers all the time, Vegas?
Sometimes, life, politics, play on the football field can’t be reduced to numbers and statistical analasys.
Sometimes sh;t just don’t pass the eyeball test — like a Knapp offense that gets like 2 yards a carry when the game is on the line and a Chuck B defense that had Slo covering Calvin Johnson late in the 4th quarter of a big game.

quit being a knapp apologist, you are in denial knapp has single handedly made our O into trash turned Veldeer and wiz into bums made reece irrelevant and turned a beast of a rb into practice sqaud rb. you really need to come to reality why do you think Mcfadden isnt running the same? Duh he doesnt like this scheme and probably didnt want hue fired and the same can probably be said for a lot of players. Veldeer Wiz & Dmac didnt just turn into bums during the offseason get your head out your azz and realize knapp and his coaching staff are the reason they regressed and dont look as aggresive. Randy Moss did the same thing if you dont like the team,sheme,coach your playing for or in you might not give it your all. and as far as hue not scoring in the second half uh hello? he was a rookie coach and learning on the fly without the benefit of an offseason program or his stud RB or his starting qb but DA gets his rookie coach pass right? wake the hell up Mc20.

Dick Morris, former political advisor for Bill Clinton, claims Romney is going to win this election in a landslide. He says the polls are using assumptions based on 2008 voter turnout, but that 2008 had unusually high numbers of voters in most categories, hence a poll that is tied at 47-47 with 38% of those polled as democrats and 28% as Republicans based on the 2008 numbers, is way off the mark and will be easily won by Romney because voter enthusiasm is way down and should return to the norm on election day.
And early voting in Ohio as of yesterday was down 230K for the Dems, and up 40k for the republicans, and that republicans tend to vote in much greater numbers on election day than do Dems. Ohio is Romney. He said Penn and Wisconsin will go Romney, so will Iowa….and maybe even Minn!
Sorry guys, this election is over and you don’t even know it yet…..so most of you should stay home on election day IMHO. Why waste the gas to vote for O? He is done for….

No body is a freakin knapp apologists , quit living off what happened in 11, you guys are setting your self for disappointment , next year will be new guy at OC,you guys will blame him for not scoring as many points we scored in 11 ,completely disregarding how the players play, how was the talent level, you Guys want to make excuses for McFadden that its just the confidence thing, no it’s not , guy doesn’t go 1 year from being a beast to unable to break arm tackles just Cuz his confidence is low , you guys want freaking top 10 O with the below average to average Receiving group and post lisfranc McFadden, NEw Orleans fans must be so upset they don’t score 50 points with the group they have

Mcfadden20 your hopeless im done beleive what you wish you say we have no talent but we have basicly the same guys from last year and they were a top 10 O we hire knapp who was a last minute hire(he was available for a reason nobody wanted his sorry azz) and now are O is trash once again. I’m gonna say this (and I shouldnt have to) we hire Hue as our OC after we were going through are darkest period ever on O Hue comes in and IMMEDIATELY turns our O into a respectable one (with less talent) the rest is history. We fire Hue bring in Knapp and were back to where we were before Hue. Now use your common sense and figure it out.

I’m right with you DMAC its all about winning if knapp were to get this O going and have it running on all cylinders I would sing his praises as I did Hue, and its not about I told you so’s with me I just want the best staff that puts our players in position to succeed and so far Knapp has done the oppisite.

Exactly that’s what I’m saying , I know as every one else that he’s not doing good job with play calls and etc, etc but these guys are totally ignoring the players and blaming the coach only , just because last guy had these guys score so many points by trick plays and fake punts, fg etc etc doesn’t mean every guy can just come in and score points like that, you need a real O to score points in 4th quarter , which we have and we will def get better at scoring more points and probably end up averaging more points in these last 9 games than we averaged last year, and ofcourse these guys will never be here to eat crow

Look, man. I’ve never said Knapp is the answer. But I’m also not jumping on the “everything that’s wrong is because of Knapp” wagon.
Are there things he doesn’t seem to be doing well? Sure. Some of the plays have been predictable. But I can also see problems with the players not executing. Last week for example, that game should have been a massive blowout. But the receivers dropped some perfectly catchable passes, two of which would have been scores.
The reality is Knapp will be here all season. So instead of hating on him and looking to celebrate his failure, I’m going to hope he figures out a way to get the offense into the next gear.

If people want to accept this economy as the new normal, the the prez is your man.
The dems want you to fail in life so that you become dependent on the government and thus keep the dems in power. Sad do many are fooled by this.

I’m right with you DMAC its all about winning if knapp were to get this O going and have it running on all cylinders I would sing his praises as I did Hue, and its not about I told you so’s with me I just want the best staff that puts our players in position to succeed and so far Knapp has done the oppisite. He is just now coming to his senses implementing power blocking.

——————————-
Look, man. I’ve never said Knapp is the answer. But I’m also not jumping on the “everything that’s wrong is because of Knapp” wagon.
Are there things he doesn’t seem to be doing well? Sure. Some of the plays have been predictable. But I can also see problems with the players not executing. Last week for example, that game should have been a massive blowout. But the receivers dropped some perfectly catchable passes, two of which would have been scores.
The reality is Knapp will be here all season. So instead of hating on him and looking to celebrate his failure, I’m going to hope he figures out a way to get the offense into the next gear.

I’m sorry but the way you guys are consistent in bashing one 1 guy and 1 guy only does not makes you guys sound a lot like Mistic , so can’t help but think that’s what u guys want so you guys can tell us i told u so …but that will happen for sure , all the blame will be put on Knapp if our team don’t score as many points as we did , with lesser wide receivers and post injury Mcfadden

Of-course you guys will call me Knapp apologists , but i don’t really think he should be blamed 100% for the failure of our O , after all the players play the game not the coaches , players have to execute, and when they do , coaches look good , and when players don’t execute coaches look bad , but some fans never look at the players , they just think , we had success with this players , we could of have just brought the same coach aboard and win..when we clearly regressed in wr position , and mcfadden is not same (to a good eye), most of Hue’s points had to do with trick plays , fake punts , fake fg’s and going for it on 4th downs, his O was always shut down in 2nd halves

fair minded as in:
keeps troops in iraq then i would have done what o did
shouldn’t be a timetable on afghanistan then i’ll have the troops out by 2014
I wanna repeal Ocare then “there are a number of things that I like in healthcare reform that I’m going to put in place,”
re Dodd Frank “I would repeal it and replace it”
then We’re not going to get rid of all regulation. You have to have regulation. And there are some parts of Dodd-Frank that make all the sense in the world,”
“I will preserve and protect a woman’s right to choose” 2002″I believe that abortion is the wrong choice except in cases of incest, rape, and to save the life of the mother,”2005
re FEMA “Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that’s the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that’s even better.” then
As president, I will ensure FEMA has the funding it needs

Because it’s true, D Coordinators caught upto Hue’s bs in 2nd halves , hence all the 3 and outs and 3 points average n 2nd halves.. we have nobody behind Dmoore and DHB , dumb ass got 2 Rookies and 1 guy who has been cut by 5 teams over the past 2 years… Mcfadden is coming of a serious injury , CC moved to LG , Wiz wasn’t even healthy all training camp and pre-season to learn the ZBS scheme , the most important guy on ZBS team is the C , he is finally catching up ,where his teammates are more advanced because of more time .. god we got delusional fans in here , who think freakin stik this or that coach anywhere and we will become a top 10 O out of no where

I believe players are catching upto the ZBS and some other stuffs they are trying to implement to get the run game going, and i think we’re slowly getting better at running game , so i believe this might turn out to be our breakout game , so which in turn will open up the passing game , keep in mind TB passing game sucks even with good Run D , so imagine how much they will bite the play action , when they are having hard time stopping the run

The Raiders averaged 4.7 yards per carry in that game and had 475 yards total offense. If you hate ZBS, that’s fine. But don’t say it was the reason they lost a game when it clearly wasn’t.

Why do ppl keep bring up michael freakin bush? What part of NO MONEY dont u understand.
Reggie at the time had zero money to pay what bush was look for. He is not worth the 3yr 9 million dollar contract that he got. How many extra games would he have helped us win? IDK… but i do know its not that big of a deal imo. He was stuffed three straight times on the goal line last year as well. but every time we got the 1 yard line Carson or DMAC has gotten in this year.
Goodson is always getting positive yardage when he comes in.. and is averaging like 7 yards a carry. Enough of Bush
Bush was a luxury Reggie/ Raiders couldnt afford nor would he want to imo even if he had the money. THe offense was gonna be built on DMAC.
this year bush has 67 carriers for 247 yards averaging 3.7 yard a carry

I think Knapp sucks too, but to be fair, CP threw at least two balls that were sure TDs that weren’t caught.
Meyers clank and Streater inside shoulder.
Then again, I believe those plays were called from no huddle, in which CP has final say on the play.
For all the numbers-obsessed in here, would be interested to see a breakdown of CP in no huddle vs. huddle and our overall offensive production from no huddle vs. huddle.
That right there would probbaly show you, in numbers, that Knapp is pretty bad at calling plays.

The Raider are 30th in 3rd down conversions. 31st in Red Zone TD’s
Now, how do you Knappsack huggers spin that?
***************
No spin needed. I dont mind if you blame Knapp.
You know why?
It will soon be fixed by the DA aka Mister fix it.
I told you the DA would fix Knapp and the ZBS if he needed to. And BAM just like that, DA fixed it.
The DA will fix any red zone problems the team has
Hang on for the ride KK. It will be a great one.
We can tie you on the bandwagon if you want

Second half improvement? check
Ready for early game back east? check
Big improvement on D? check
Knapp is a teachable coach? check
No salary cap problems? check
Lots of cash to spend on FA? check
Future is bright? check
Reg & the D.A.? check
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:14 pm
CP3 needs to get Myers a TD …
I just keep wondering how he would celebrate?
Reece will continue to be a decoy pass-catching FB (?)
Wheeler will chase Freeman down twice.
V-JAX will be a tough cover for Lee or Huff.
Janikowski keeps puttin em thru

We have to def contain Josh Freeman and get to him , we should win, i don’t see their running game being a huge threat or anything , D Martin is only averaging 4.2 yards a carry after a huge game last week and our Run D is going to be good , we have to get Josh Freeman .. On O we will run wild on them and Palmer will go deep to wide open Moore and Streater after play act
===================================================
Dude F.Y.I this aint gonna be no pushover game. The Bucs scored 13 (count em!) 13 T.D’s in the last three weeks. That is 1 more than we have scored all season.
Don’t get me wrong I wanna kick their arse but we gonna have a battle!
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:28 pm
Wisniewski said it was nothing but zone-blocking scheme from the outset, which made sense given that’s Knapp’s and offensive line coach Frank Pollack’s pedigree. However, the coaches aren’t so rigid that they are averse to change.
====================================================
Nothing but zone-blocking from the outset made sense ?
What a crock.
I dont give a fk what Krapp’s and Pollack’s pedigrees are. Going with nothing but ZBS from the outset was moronic and made no sense at all.
If anything, the gap blocking that was already in place and working well, and that the players were familiar with, should have been used almost exclusively – and the ZBS should have been slowly phased in as the players got that down.
Instead the genius Krapp decided to go with the ZBS exclusively – even though the team wasn’t ready for it and it failed miserably.
Now all of a sudden the coaches aren’t so rigid as to be averse to change huh ?
Leave it to Krapp to get it bass-ackwards and our favorite beat writer to peddle this garbage.
Should have been gap blocking from the outset with the ZBS phased in – NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

Just wanted to make it an even grand.
November 2nd, 2012 at 3:55 pm
The Houston Texans use 2 offensive line coaches, one is the OL coach, the other is an assistant.
The Raiders only have Pollack, could it be the case that he needs an assistant too?
Wiz senior was never replaced – looks like he should have been.

Why did it take the coaching staff this long to figure out ZB’s and McFadden running style don’t go we’ll together, total fail. Unprepared coaches with huge egos, I’m talking about Knapp’s sorry ass. I’m not impressed by this two wins over sorry ass teams , were having huge issues running the ball and scoring in the red zone, this has been covered up by superb defensive play, against inferior opponents. If the offense dosent improve there is no way we can hang with legit teams like Denver, this Tampa team may be a good test, but they gave been awful on the road.
