Broncos weigh in on what ails Raiders
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, December 6th, 2012 at 9:36 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders came within one win of edging the Denver Broncos for the AFC West title last season. Today, the teams seem light years apart.
The Broncos beat the Raiders 26-13 on Thursday night for their eighth straight victory and improved to 10-3. The Raiders dropped to 3-10 after losing for the sixth straight time.
Broncos standout cornerback Champ Bailey said he sees a team that is in the process of finding the proper players for their schemes and adjusting to new coaching.
“It’s a combination of a lot of things,” Bailey said of the Raiders free-fall from 8-8 last season. “Once they get their personnel that they want and what coach (Dennis) Allen wants, things will start working out. It starts from the top. At some point, they’ll get it together.”
But when? The Raiders are in their 10th straight season of not posting a winning record or making the playoffs.
The more they try, the worse things seem to get. Meanwhile, the Broncos went from 4-12 in 2010 to 8-8 last season to a legitimate Super Bowl contender this season.
Allen, the coordinators and the players maintain that the Raiders are talented enough to win right now.
Broncos nose tackle Justin Bannan agreed that the Raiders don’t lack for talent. It’s a slew of other things conspiring against them right now.
“You have to understand, they lost their owner, they changed management, they got a new head coach,” Bannan said. “They got a combination of stuff happening. In today’s world, there’s no patience. But it’s going to take patience. You’re not just going to flip over like that and progress.”
Bannan said signing quarterback Peyton Manning helped the Broncos make the quantum leap from an average team to the one that is running roughshod over the league right now.
The Broncos also have Bailey and linebackers Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil playing at a high level on defense.
Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams said the Raiders have the talent, but it takes more than talent to win games.
“In terms of pure numbers, they are the biggest, fastest team in the league,” Williams said. “But in the NFL, every team has talent. It’s about jelling and getting on the same page.”
Raiders owner Mark Davis told Allen last month that the way the Raiders are playing “isn’t good enough.” Davis added that he wants to see progress.
The Raiders and Allen have three more games to impress Davis. There’s nothing to say that Allen is assured of being back next season.
Bailey said the Raiders would make a mistake if they don’t keep Allen beyond this season.
“He did some good things for us here,” said Bailey, in reference to Allen being the Broncos defensive coordinator in 2011. “I got to give him a lot of credit. He earned that job and he deserves to keep trying to put those winning seasons together. He’s a good football mind.”

Wrong players for the schemes. Gee, ya think?

DA really just needs to resign…have some professionalism.

If you go with a drafting a D Linemen within the first 3-4 picks in a draft, than you draft a pass rushing DE or OLB.
Not a one dimensional fat two gap NT/DT.

You must havent seen Star play, he will be picked ahead of Teo, like I said Teo will be exposed by Bama in the title game with Womack,Jones, and Fluker coming at him. Ask Jarvis Jones about that Bama oline.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:41 pm
Wrong players for the schemes. Gee, ya think?
–
That’s correct, DA and Tarver want to be Multiple but they don’t have players for either scheme, next year would prove how good or bad they are when they get a real chance to bring in players, let’s see how good Reg is when he finally drafts a player on the first day
December 6th, 2012 at 9:41 pm
they want him around to beat him senseless…
December 6th, 2012 at 9:42 pm
So it ain’t the talent?
December 6th, 2012 at 9:42 pm
“But in the NFL, every team has talent. It’s about jelling and getting on the same page.”
This is where the Raiders have posted a big FAIL.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:42 pm
“Bannan said signing quarterback Peyton Manning helped the Broncos make the quantum leap from an average team to the one that is running roughshod over the league right now.”
again.
It’s a QB league. It’s not that complicated.
Playoff teams have them (hello former 1-15 Colts!), non-playoff teams don’t.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:44 pm
Broncos have:
Manning, Von Miller, Dumerville, Champ, D. Thomas…
1st round picks that produced.
We DON’T have that type of talent. Broncos were saying right things.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:44 pm
Yea he helpef denver but he aint helpin us. Get’em outta here… they say keep DA so we can continue to be their whippin boy. Fire Allen now!

Mike Mayock “attempting” to talk crap about AL DAVIS on the broadcast…..claiming the Fans should be patient and that Reggie has no talent on the team….that the Raiders have screwed up their drafts the last 10 years…..
Very next play, DHB goes 56 yards for a TD!
Now Mike Mayock and Mike Huff have something in common other than their first names….

Yeah I liked that..even Nessler was giving him crap.

from pft…
It’s been a difficult proposition this season for teams to win on the road on Thursday nights. Then again, most of those teams didn’t have to play the Oakland Raiders either.
really really sad what the three stooges have done to this team…
December 6th, 2012 at 9:46 pm
LMAO at you Corkran! Yes, Dennis Allen is so wonderful!…All these teams beat the living crap out of us then praise our staff…What did Bailey say after we hung 59 points on him in Dungver? I’m sure they would LOVE for Allen to stay.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:47 pm
Why do people keep saying he have big fast players… they are gone now. Our leading receiver is a 6′2 “, 5.6 40 Tight end. Streater now is our stating WR and a bunch of small minded idiots on D.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:47 pm
BTW, Teo will be worthless without a DL on this level…Not hatin on the guy but he IS NOT worthy of a top 3 pick.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:47 pm
more pft….
Everyone figured the Broncos would have an easy time on Thursday night in Oakland.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
So Da cares more about scheme than winning right? So he must go, go with what works and what will keep you your job not some scheme that doesnt fit your team loser! Get Da outta here
December 6th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
Swing and a miss for Reggie on his first choice for Head Coach. Bring in the fan favorite: Jon Gruden!!!
December 6th, 2012 at 9:48 pm
Remember DA and Tarver said they want to be Multiple? There’s no player on this D that they can use in both 3-4 and 4-3 so starting with drafting DE Damontre Moore makes a lot of sense

Teo’s good, but we need an edge rusher more than anything. I don’t think Te’o goes nearly as high as some of the experts think. He’ll go top half of the first round, for sure. But I don’t think it’ll be top 5.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:51 pm
How low can this team go? I thought Art Shell’s Raiders were awful but i think this 2012 DA team is worse. When our divisional enemy, Denver players feel sorry for Raiders after embarssing them on national TV it’s time to call it a night. Im not sure about you but I’m embarrassed to show up to work tomorrow because of this team and my association with it.
Thank you Mark Davis!!! Thank you Reggie! And thank you Dennis Allen!

Ya the broncos just want to keep on beating RAIDERS 2x a year with DA as coach.
DA seems like a good guy but let him go coach TYLER TEXAS State.. he is not right for the Raiders.
I’d take tom cable right now over DA.. he wouldnt be taking no shyyt from these donkies. At least we’d be playing with some emotion
December 6th, 2012 at 9:54 pm
Remember what I have been saying:
Draft position & coaching shakeup!
It is our only hope.
Lose out for the rest of the season. A win against KC will do more damage than good as long as it has draft position consequences.

At least I won some money tonight on this game. I’m not ashamed. First time I ever bet against the Raiders.
The way I look at it is it was pretty much a slam dunk (though much tighter than I would’ve expected) and the Raiders are better off losing right now. One, it’s our only chance to hope Mark’s hand gets forced to make major coaching and/or GM changes. And two, it’ll improve our draft position.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
the thing that really bothers me is intelligent raider fans knew this was going to be a disaster the moment reggie was hired…i dont know what it was but it was a bad feeling…

=================================
Exactly. We haven’t seen any glimmer of hope. The team gets outplayed week in and week out. We needed a spectacular come from behind and some breaks on defense at the end of the game to beat Pitt. Jax could have EASILY been a loss if not for some injuries and KC is KC. Probably the only team we may be better than.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
WOW another game where the RAIDERS DIDNT EVEN BOTHER TO SHOW up.. NO EMOTION, NO DIRECTION on OFFENSE.. just like a sandlot pickup game.
A house full of hall of famers and it was zero emotion. Sorry howie long, and Rod woodson even had to watch that.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:57 pm
Back home after another poor loss.Some cool things did happen. I got to meet Roger Goodell and take a picture with him and Mark Davis storming through the Club seats to a waiting elevator as one of the fans shouting at him over and over again “Bring back Chucky”
Mark was not amused.

In this economy, you gotta do whatever you can to make a buck.
BTW, I expect KC to beat us, they won’t blow us out, but they will win, this better force Mark to make a coaching change. I’m ok with giving Reggie a mulligan, but not Tits.
December 6th, 2012 at 9:58 pm
Bunch of losers , who think there is nothing wrong with the talent level just because we beat up on weak teams on our way to consecutive 8-8 seasons, oh but we didn’t lose like this blah blah blah , etc etc, stfu and actually look forward to improving the team with a new GM who would finally get to make his mark on the team with a first rd pick and actually money to grab a legit player in FA, and D coaches will finally have some one they can build their schemes around instead of going out there with the misfits , only guy you guys should be calling out is KNapp

Mark Davis chose his words wisely. If he was going to keep Allen, he would have told everybody to be patient. This will take some time. No. He said that he is disappointed and apologized to the fans. I am sure it is win 2 of the final 3 games or we have a new Head Coach coming in.

I agree. Unfortunately, all three coming up are winnable.
If DA wins 2 of 3 there’s almost no way we’re getting rid of him, unless Mark has his mind made up with a Gruden type in waiting. If he wins 1 of 3 it’ll be tricky. May depend on how ugly the two losses are.
If he loses out, nine in a row, and goes 3-13 coming off back to back 8-8 seasons, I think Mark probably does demand a change.
My odds on DA staying:
3-13: 20%
4-12: 50%
5-11: 85%
6-10: 99%

Letting DA walk will cost Mark Davis $12M thanks to Reggie giving DA a 4 year $4m per yr deal(I think). Mark Davis must be very mad to walk away from that kinda money and Gruden ain’t cheap either so it’s quite a lota money to do the switch now.
But if Mark Davis is mad enough he may do it.
DA is making Reggie look real bad right now. Denver players asking Raider fans to be patient with DA is adding insult to injury now.
I think Reggie has done some good things in less than a year but hitching his wagon to DA, his own “guy” has been his BiGGEST mistake. I’m not a buyer of all those asking for more time for DA either. Like a bad disease not operating on it ASAP will only worsen the situation.

I know I did!!!
I was irate when news leaked that Hue was being fired. I sat there and waited for the McKenzie press conference.
Couldn’t believe what I was watching when Chubby Checker and Mark started talking to the press. I was dumbfounded that this was the new braintrust. I knew in my heart right then and there that we were likely doomed for a considerable amount of time.
I said Mark seemed like a cool guy, one that you’d smoke a joint with in the alley outside your favorite dive bar. But maybe not the sharpest cat to be running the Raiders.
And CC sounded borderline illiterate. I said I wouldn’t hire him to manage a McDonald’s, let alone the Raiders.
Some people in here were seriously pizzed at me over that take, but it’s truly how I felt.

loving this: 3 losses away from not only the #1 pick in the draft, but many months of missdick and priest crying about how “unfair” their being to pryor for not playing him, or even better, not committing to him after he does play in the last game and goes 4-15 23 yards, with one 42 yard run. SPACE-AGE ATTACK!

Champ Bailey wants DA to stay so the Donkeys get 2 automatic wins every season…
Palmer will allow him a couple of picks in those 2 meetings, to help pad his stats for theHOF.

News is San Diego is cleaning house…
Think Norv would be a better OC than Knapp? Doesn’t matter, Raiders won’t sign him even if he is…
————————————–
Absolutely. Norv’s a great OC. Several teams will be interested in him in that role.

DA has overseen 6 straight lopsided-over a halftime-beat downs…how can that provide any job security?
December 6th, 2012 at 10:29 pm
This same old tired song you sing does not go over well when the GM and HC do not even keep games close. Keep the next games within striking distance in the fourth quarter and a few more fans might come on board.

Bunch of losers , who think there is nothing wrong with the talent level just because we beat up on weak teams on our way to consecutive 8-8 seasons, oh but we didn’t lose like this blah blah blah , etc etc, stfu and actually look forward to improving the team with a new GM who would finally get to make his mark on the team with a first rd pick and actually money to grab a legit player in FA, and D coaches will finally have some one they can build their schemes around instead of going out there with the misfits , only guy you guys should be calling out is KNapp

You guys ever seen Jay Glazer interview guys on NFLN?
He now ranks the highest onmy list as most irrtating interviewer I have ever see/heard.
He interviewed Aaron Rodgers and McCARTHY and it was actually uncomfortable to watch. He tried to be cute and funny with ‘em acting he was their good buddy and giving them crap and they were acting like “WTH is up with this dork”?
At the end of each interview he gives each guy some crap about something personal and he always ends up just irritating them.
It’s of no consequence just wondered if anyone had the same take.

They will do better once they move over to the CFL.

“In terms of pure numbers, they are the biggest, fastest team in the league,” Williams said. “But in the NFL, every team has talent. It’s about jelling and getting on the same page.”
_________________________________________________
Let’s not use these words to try to claim that the “biggest, fastest” is what wins games. Al thought so. We know how that turned out once he couldn’t go out and sign the best free agents and when he was blinded on draft days by the “biggest, fastest.”
Williams was nice. He didn’t say “biggest, fastest” can also be w/out football smarts, but I think he implied that.
Take a guy like DHB. Big, fast, and yet not nimble, as the announcer tonight said. Just straightaway fast, which is okay if he could be trusted to catch a ball. All of us know that he doesn’t have great hands.
And what’s up with the guy we thought had great hands? Denarius Moore? Have you guys noticed he is pulling what DHB used to always do? Jumps up to catch the ball in his gut? Leaves his feet to get a ball that is no higher than his chest? Great way to get killed. It’s no way to catch a ball.
Biggest. Fastest.
Reggie has said he wants FOOTBALL players. That means he isn’t blinded by biggest, fastest. Thank God.

How much is DA getting paid a year??? Link please

#40: The truth is Reggie Mc looks like the dunce he is, which is why he did not inspire sensible Raiders fans. He then goes out and hires the rookie coach blunder, who brings in the same OC who lost play calling duties for this SAME team.
A rookie GM bringing in a rookie HC who wants to change the entire operation in his initial year. After the team missed the playoffs by 1 game.
No Reggie Mc aka Spots, inspires NO confidence. He is what hi appears to be, a scrub, surrounded by other scrubs.
December 7th, 2012 at 12:44 am
Spots says he wants football players and proceed to fill the team with no-named misfits, scrubs and minor leaguers, while passing on NFL talent.
December 7th, 2012 at 1:05 am
WOW that fat doofus agreed to pay an unproven rookie coach 16 million over 4 yrs. Now he’s gonna lose additional millions in loss revenue from attendance.
Man Reggie Mc is proving to be a costly mistake. By all rights, based on his record, track recvord and lack of experience DA should be the lowest paid coach in the NFL. Spots paid that clown like he was a proven winner.

Some people seem to think there’s something superior about a 3-4 defense. Wake up, it’s still just a 11 guys, and if they blow coverages and lack gap discipline it won’t work either.

BTW, Teo will be worthless without a DL on this level…Not hatin on the guy but he IS NOT worthy of a top 3 pick.

Truth
========================================================
He will have a D-line in front of him. Even though their not getting sacks, they do more than enough to help the linebackers
That being said, an elite pass rusher off the edge is a far greater need than a slightly better than average MIKE like Teo.
December 7th, 2012 at 7:56 am
The only problem with Allen is his choice of OC. Tarver’s just going through growing pains, and Knapp is a proven loser.
A versatile edge rusher/cover DE/OLB, a top notch free safety, and cornerback, and a good OC is all we need to see the post season next year.
December 8th, 2012 at 10:08 am
well if allen is so good, why did he pick knapp?
