Grading the Raiders from the Saints game
By Steve Corkran
Monday, November 19th, 2012 at 12:50 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Beat writer Jerry McDonald graded the Raiders off their performance against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Here is a look at how the Raiders graded out:
Pass offense
Carson Palmer (22-for-40, 312 yards) had his third straight game of 300 yards or more, but 113 of those were tacked on with the Raiders already trailing 35-10. Two interceptions were costly — one that Malcolm Jenkins returned 55 yards for a touchdown, the other that bounced off Brandon Myers in the end zone for a Saints interception. Palmer and Denarius Moore were barely in the same area code.
Grade: D
Run offense
Marcel Reece gave the Raiders steady yards on the ground, finishing with 103 yards on 19 carries as the Raiders rushed for 120 yards overall and a respectable 4.6 yards per carry. The Raiders got no surge on a first-and-goal play at the 1, with Reece getting stuffed for a loss, starting a sequence that ended in an interception.
Grade: B
Pass defense
Lance Moore got cornerback Michael Huff on a double move for a 38-yard touchdown inside of a minute left in the first half and later beat Ron Bartell for a 16-yard score. Drew Brees was a coolly effieicent 20-for-27 for 219 yards and no interceptions. Brees was not sacked. Miles Burris failed to cover tight end Jimmy Graham on a goal line play. Touchdown. Grade: D
Run defense
The Saints, not known as a big rushing team, gained 153 yards on 28 carries, averaging 5.5 yards per attempt. Mark Ingram had 12 rushes for 67 yards and a 27-yard touchdown run on the first offensive snap of the second half. Defense gave up runs of 27, 25, 19 and 14 yards. Rolando McClain had 10 tackles in the base defense.
Grade: D
Special teams
Coye Francies had a chance at a big kickoff return and fell at the 20-yard line. A 75-yard kickoff return by Travaris Cadet to open the second half swung momentum permanently to the side of the Saints. Sebastian Janikowski converted his only field goal attempt from 40 yards. Shane Lechler can’t catch a break kicking inside the 20 as everything rolls into the end zone. Grade: D
Coaching
Whatever the coaching staff is saying at halftime isn’t working. The Raiders have been outscored 123-34 in the third quarter. However, the loss to New Orleans had more to do with players getting beat by better players than it did with offensive or defensive play-calling. If the Raiders could have gotten out of their own way and taken a lead, they might have run the ball all day.
Grade: D

This is Palmer’s Super Bowl this week. Hopefully the team rallies around him.
====================================
Dopey comment. Most players have a link to another team, somewhere. some more than one. You act like Palmer is God and the team bows in his presence. That, according to you, he should be rallied around? That it’s his SB? That all the team wants to make Palmer happy?

LOL even noted carson apologist are bailing and trying to hide their bungle stripped hydes.
That grade is late but welcome to the party guys.
November 19th, 2012 at 12:54 pm
coaching matters, but they can only do so much if they got no talent, just look at Lakers , do they even fire M Brown if they weren’t loaded , nope , they were underachieving , we’re def on par with talent level on this team
——————
We have talent, werent we one of the leaders in sacks last year? we have the talent but not the coaching, you dont go from top 5 in sacks to not having a pass rush dam dude use your head, why do you think that is? you figured it out with the eagles so why not the Raiders?
November 19th, 2012 at 12:54 pm
Can we get graded on a curve, with the Chiefs, Panthers and Browns?

Actually they were 16th in the NFL in sacks, but that is slightly misleading when you have games like the first SD game where they have a 4th string LT getting abused.

That is true! Jim Johnson passed away! After, they have never been teh same on D!

Yup, they were always a top 10 unit with him , which was 1 of the reasons they were always in the playoffs

SEE DUMMY COACHING MATTERS!!!! but i guess the eagles dont have talent.

And he’s lucky a lot of DBs can’t catch because he could’ve had at least two more.
****************************
Palmer’s the only QB lucky that DB’s can’t catch? Please, all DB’s can’t catch.
In fact, RGIII’s only incomplete pass yesterday was a sure fire pick 6 that Rodgers-Cromartie dropped.
Defensive players, not just DB’s, can’t catch, and drop INT’s every week in every game.
Brees threw a ball right to Desmond Bryant. Hit him in all 10 fingers and both palms. Dropped.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Brees and RG3 did that ONE time. Palmer actually Threw a pick-6 and almost threw another one near our goal line to go along with another near miss during the 1st drive. He does that sht a million times more than the other guys you’re talking about. Do me a favor, stick your nose in your almanac for geeks and tell me who the league leaders are in pick-6s the last 5 years . Honest question.

November 19th, 2012 at 12:59 pm
Mistic you are def have something against white people, you said Johnny football wont make it as a qb in the NFL but he just beat the best D in the nation with precision passing, I mean the guy was droping’em right in there, perfect throws and his only a freshman, and he runs a 4.3 40 but he cant make it? you really do sound racist on that one.

Bloggers: “Mistic loves to talk about black qb’s. After being outed only talking about black qb’s, he then posted a couple of comments about white qb’s, pointing to it, as an afterthought, saying “see, I’m not racist”
Mistic: “Another racist comment”
You really think most here don’t see through your shallow little charade?

“So ridiculous”???? Lets see:
He said Cam Newton would be the top pick in the draft and take the league by storm: He was and it happened.
He said that RG3 was the best QB in college football and would take the league by storm: He was and it happened.
He said that the Palmer trade was a bust the day it happened and that it would be a downgrade from what we had going with JC: It was and it has been.
What so “ridiculous”????? On the contrary, I think it’s time for you clowns to start taking notes when he posts!!!!

I admire Palmer for staying here knowing this was a total rebuild putting his head down and working diligently doing what the coaches ask of him.
Next year he and D Moore are going to light it up I am thinking 1800 yards for D Moore if it all works out.
We should get a high draft pick which we will trade down for several more picks. Cast offs should get sent packing yielding us another 2 or 3 draft picks all in all I would say by draft day in April Reggie will have accumulated 10 draft picks.
With that he will go about fixing the O-Line and the entire defense. If Palmer can get the amount of time Brees and Brady are getting back there to throw and we have a real running game established next year he will light up the sky and we will win the division

More race talk?
I said Johhny football is one of my favorite college qbs to to watch.
I never said he “wont make it as a qb”
I did question if he has an nfl arm, then suggested that he has the athletic ability to play other positions like kick returner/wr. I new tony martin type

98% of beat writers are lap dogs. They are paid to get quotes and access the standard fan can’t. You bite the hand that feeds that, you get no acces, you get canned.

actually GREG PAPA is not one. HE was questioning the PALMER trade the day it was made. He didnt like KNAPP was moving to the ZBS . .saying it didnt fit DMAC
Was saying many of things going on AL wouldnt agree with. This is just from listening to him the past month.
Media writers get ZERO from these guys. ITs nothing the average fan cant get from a presser afte the game. Gimme a break. You guys act like they are breaking some serious news or insight. Its just their opionions after the facts are stated.

Doubt it, but if he is, who cares? He’s won the Super Bowl and multiple playoff games so he’s “elite”. Those guys are like Teflon. You know the drill.

November 19th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
Guess we’re in the same boat we’ve been in for the past decade, guys. Time to tank the season and follow the Mark’s Hair gameplan to a high draft pick, which we can trade back for more picks in theide rounds.
Aside from Seymour, who do you think gets released and/or traded first?
November 19th, 2012 at 1:20 pm
Read comment from poster saying Knapp is by far the worst OC in the nfl.
The Raiders hired him not once, but twice.

Further proves my point that last years team wasn’t that good beside the record, we would have struggled to beat good teams again due to D getting worse with age of Kelly and Seymour and Loss of Wimbley

Here’s the list of teams we lost against and their O ranks
—–
So far we have beaten 2 out of 3 really horrible O teams
—
Miami LOSS
JAX WIN
KC WIN
–
Lost against 5 teams in top 10 O

SO even if Hue was here, same results, due to our D , which we never got to work on due to Salary Cap
November 19th, 2012 at 1:21 pm
You always have to worry about team wide regression mac20.. new players will regress under bad coaching too.. our lines have regressed the most.. rookies with these coaches will probably just bust.
November 19th, 2012 at 1:22 pm
No Dan, but I regularly see Hugh cruising around Staples.
Once watched the old dope eat a Dove bar then run for the stalls for a running diarrhea
He’s the kind of the playas, but that time he got played

Only one thing counts. Thats the record. Thats it.
November 19th, 2012 at 1:25 pm
Palmer will not see that 15 mil next season. No way mark is going to pay him that. Especially if he keeps tossing easy picks. Also I cant figure out why he can’t get on the same page as moore. they had all training camp and the offseason together and they can’t run an easy out? Come on man…

I will admit O has regressed but i still don’t think results would have been different to the same day or worse D if you want to call it with the loss of wimbley, hard to get mad either cuz really AL left this team in salary cap mess, we couldn’t bring in any good player for our D
November 19th, 2012 at 1:26 pm

November 19th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
Trading CP would be kinda stupid unless they got a good qb to take over, all you need to give him is #1 WR , and better protection , and need a couple of pass rushers in Offseason , not that hard to do, if we got some cap space
November 19th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
Wimbley was a loss sure.. but he wasnt such a stud that our d should drop to dead last…. and about the offense.. tds matter.. the running game matters.. and the coaches killed ours.
November 19th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
I trade CP only if we get our hands on a really good qb and we need his cap space to sign other players, if you want to let him go just because then back to square 1
November 19th, 2012 at 1:32 pm
If not Palmer next year then who?… If its Pryor with the same WRs were gonna see more picks… Not to mention Mark and Reggie will want some returns on those 2 # 1,s … Palmers could be gone but I doubt it…. Even with a full training camp doesn’t mean they’re on the same page… Both could be on the wrong page .. But it only takes one… Wouldn’t sware to it but I’d suspect it’s Moore running the wrong routes …
November 19th, 2012 at 1:33 pm
Soup’ll do fine in Chi. Gots some run support in Forte’s Bush. Got a killer D. Maybe he can hit BMarshall for a pass or two.
Too bad Kaep gunna LIGHT HIS ASS UP!!
Anyone remember Soup’s last game in SF? Didn’t he put up like 9 pts and at least 5 missed (WIDE OPEN) receivers? Long ball going out of bounds like the camera man was open….
November 19th, 2012 at 1:33 pm
You know how long it’s been since we’ve had anything to get excited about as Raiders fans?
For as much time and emotion spent concerning ourselves with this org. all we do is get s.chytt upon.
Give us a blockbuster signing…or SOMETHING.
I know a WIN is too much to freaking ask for.
November 19th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
It’s just sad watching this team’s confidence go into a shame spiral at the same point every year. I hope the coaching staff gets a serious makeover on the offensive side of the ball. Not saying we should leave the ZBS, just get a jump on the offseason and bring on some coordinator fast.

Wimbley was still our best pass rusher, and other 2 guys who had some sacks, are year older now Kelly and Seymour (ready to retire), Just saying that even if Hue was here , we would of probably had the same record due to inability of our D to stop good O’s , so i would give DA 1 more chance with a new OC, new ST coach , and offseason to bring some guys for D side
November 19th, 2012 at 1:34 pm
Commitment to Excrement. Why not start playing all the young guys (TP) and see what we got??? I will give DA & Chewbacca a pass this year, but come 2013 when the salary cap won’t be a factor I wanna see results. Maybe not playoffs yet, but a lot better effort all around. Need to trim the fat off this team as soon as the season is over. That means trade what little we have for picks (Dmac, Lechler & Palmer). Dump the overpaid, underachieving worthless garbage (Seymour, Kelly, McClain, Huff, Carlisle, Briesel, Bartell, Spencer, Leinart & Jones) This team might be worse than 2006, but coaches & staff are much better.

Nah, the guy had great #1s, #2s and even #3s with great protection in Cincy and he still did boneheaded sht. I don’t think it’s possible, but if we could get a 1st for him, that would be the Hail Mary deal that might help us get this thing back on track.

Not much this coaching staff can do with these players, only so much Palmer can do putting up points with no #1 Receiver to go to , only so much DA and Tarver can do with 2 players at DT(Kelly and Seymour ) into semi retirement, and 2 players SHaughnessy (coming off major injury) Houston (should be a DT), you guys should get mad at AL D, last year was pretty fluke , we weren’t going to win against good teams with this roster,only team that anyone can name last year was Houston

We deserve better than this garbage. At least the fans that show up for the games do.
Nice to see an “apology” from Mark, but sad that his statement has been the only bright spot in the last month.
To know the guy at least cares is a bit of consolation.
I wasn’t sure if he did or not.
Dump somebody. Change schemes. Do SOMETHING to eenergize the fan base a bit.
I know, I know…it’s too much to ask that they actually win a damn game on the field.

In 2010, Campbell completed 8 of 21 passes for 83 yards, threw two interceptions and posted a career-low 10.7 rating in the Raiders’ 17-9 loss at Candlestick.
Hahahahahahahaha. Oh man was he horrible that day…
I hate loosing;-) to the Niners!
November 19th, 2012 at 1:45 pm
Yes we deserve better , but be patient , this team needs full offseason with money to spend, you guys make too much of 8-8 record

DLine needs make over with exception of Bryant and Houston, Both should start next to each other at DT
Need 2 pass rushers at End spots, Von Miller have 13 sacks , Dumerville have 8, our whole team have 2 less than V Miller

98% on this blog believe that Palmer is an upgrade over Campbell.
50-50 on Hue/Junior.
Campbell and Bush got a chip on their shoulders, play tonight back in the bay area, if JC has a decent game and wins, watch out below.

Even if I graded on a curve and gave them an A for attendance this team would still get an F, an F for Fvck you you degenerative scum.
This defense is like a diseased dog, it needs to be euthanized and burned.
Dennis Allen’s starting defense:
DE-Andre Carter signed
OLB- Phillip wheeler Signed
OLB- Miles Burris Drafted
CB- Ron Bartell Signed
CB- Shawnte spencer Signed
CB- Pat Lee Signed
CB- Joselio Hanson Signed
SS- Tyvon Branch Signed
But of course it has to be one of Al’s picks that is making the defense worse like Lamar Houston or Michael Huff. Don’t dare blame a rookie Head coach.
Dear Reggie Mcdonalds:
Stop picking up Packer trash and start scouting talent you buffoon. I can find better people to play defense at homeless shelters. You do know what talent is right? Just because they wore green and gold doesn’t mean they’re talented, it just means that they have a very good QB making the team look good.
Dear Defense:
Where are you?
Dear God:
Where are you?

November 19th, 2012 at 1:49 pm
Guys say “we don’t have the talent”, but we had enough to hang with Atl. on the road and enough to beat Pittsburgh.
Reece’s good day exposed the coaching staff for the inept group it is.
Criner exposed them as well, showing he can catch almost anything thrown his way. Maybe they ought to think about THAT for a minute.
Watch the highlights of Burris again; the ones where ALL HE IS DOING is rushing the QB and being very good at it.
Funny. I don’t recall in any of those highlights Burris covering receivers and making plays. You know why?…IT’S NOT WHAT HE DOES WELL.
Players have to be in the right positions. Burris is a pass rusher…period.
There’s a reason Gannon didn’t play cornerback…IT WASN’T HIS POSITION.

Palmer will take a pay cut get real he is not going anywhere you heard what Mark Davis said about him.
Get over it already are you tards that desperate for something to talk about?
I admire Palmer for staying here knowing this was a total rebuild putting his head down and working diligently doing what the coaches ask of him.
Next year he and D Moore are going to light it up I am thinking 1800 yards for D Moore if it all works out.
We should get a high draft pick which we will trade down for several more picks. Cast offs should get sent packing yielding us another 2 or 3 draft picks all in all I would say by draft day in April Reggie will have accumulated 10 draft picks.
With that he will go about fixing the O-Line and the entire defense. If Palmer can get the amount of time Brees and Brady are getting back there to throw and we have a real running game established next year he will light up the sky and we will win the division

love the criner bandwagon. he catches 1 nice pass in a blow out and he’s the next tim brown. hope he is for all our sake. would like to see him create some separation in red zone or on third down.louis murphy had a better rookie year then him with jacarcus as his qb. lok what happened to him
November 19th, 2012 at 2:13 pm
uh, i’m gonna say palmer will be dealt. and good for him. i don’t think there is a quick fix and he’s being wasted here.
we need 12 picks going into the draft and he could get us maybe a 2nd rounder and a 6th. after 4800 yards and close to 30 td’s, a team like arizona might want him bad. i know larry fitzgerald would.
i say get tebow, mccoy, claussen, or cousins and have them compete with pryor.

it has become very clear as to this team’s needs and problems.
1) the running game was either the line’s fault or dmc’s fault or some of both. well, reece just answered that. we could use a player or two on the line but RB is solved.
2) the passing game needs better protection, so the line still is an issue. we move the ball just fine between the 20’s, but we can’t score. part of that was the running game but also no redzone targets. streeter and criner give us hope there. i would think ausberry too, but knapp doesn’t seem to understand his personnel.
3) run defense, particularly up the middle. new DT’s, MLB, and Safeties ar in order.
4) no pass rush. at all.

Bring back Jon Gruden, Mr. Davis. Then you will be my hero!

Allen and Knapp have slept on Chriner, Reece, DHB, maybe Pryor, Ausberry. Misused DMac and initially Palmer (with the WC offense). Twain Jones as never been used on a sweep, pitchout,or scuffle pass. Nothing in space t manipulate his speed. The speed of the wideouts has rarely been used for bombs and/or to draw penalties from DB’s who cannot possibly keep up with them. Most decent teams with a player like Pryor use him in option plays. Allen and crew have never used the guy once. Lining up Pryor and Dmac would have caused mass confusion and a change of pace from the typical vanilla Knapp offense.
Red zone offense is pathetic , despite the FAT the team has HUGE targets (Chriner, Ausberry, Myers, and Streater).

the “D” grade for coaching is a little high. i would expect no higher than an “F”.
winning starts in practice, and these bozo’s are clearly not prepared.
