McClain arrested again
By Steve Corkran
Tuesday, January 8th, 2013 at 4:36 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Embattled Raiders middle linebacker Rolando McClain was arrested in Alabama on Tuesday.
According to WHNT-TV, McClain was pulled over for a window-tint violation. McClain proceeded to give the police officer that pulled him over a false name.
At that point, McClain was arrested. He later posted bond and was released from Decatur City Jail.
This comes on the heels of an incident late in 2011, when McClain was convicted of four misdemeanors, including discharging a firearm. Charges later were dropped when the person that accused McClain of shooting a gun next to his ear decided not to proceed.
Raiders coach Dennis Allen suspended McClain for two games for conduct detrimental to the team in the second half of the 2012 season. McClain was inactive for Oakland’s final three regular-season games.
It’s likely that the Raiders will seek to trade McClain in the near future. If they can’t find any takers, they likely then would release him.
He was the No. 8 pick in the 2010 NFL draft out of Alabama. He has failed to develop into the dominant player the Raiders envisioned.

Well it wasn’t much of a game last night.
I wanted ND to pull off the upset, but of course I bet on Bama just in case.
Te’o didn’t do anything special, just like the other potential Raider D prospects like Jordan, Moore and Werner didn’t do anything special either in their Bowl games.
Joekel looked good of course, but I doubt McK goes OLine with that #3 pick.
January 8th, 2013 at 4:39 pm
Rob Ryan for LB coach?
January 8th, 2013 at 4:39 pm
Raiders trade 1st round pick (#3) and 3rd round pick to Arizona for #7 overall and AZ’s 2nd round pick.
Arizona has to be drooling over Luke Joeckel being available now.
Raiders can still nab Dee Milliner, Star, or Jarvis Jones at #7. AZ needs to move ahead of Eagles at #4 for Luke.
January 8th, 2013 at 4:40 pm
what did you think of last year’s 1st round WR prospects? Blackmon and Floyd? Was that a “strong” class?
***********************
It wasn’t considered a strong class either, and guys like Rod Streater and TY Hilton emerged as some of the best of the bunch.
Don’t overthink it.
January 8th, 2013 at 4:41 pm
I would pay a few bucks to see the name he came up with.
January 8th, 2013 at 4:42 pm
Slolondo is a freaking idiot….really???? Y the false name??

Because his real name is not good even in his own hometown.

One of the commentators on the local news station article, said his Tahoe has personalized plates with his name in it.
That would be just too……it can’t be, it jus’t can’t.

From Walterfootball (the spam filter keeps eating this link or something)
“You’re reading that right. Since 1993, there have only been five busts at the offensive tackle position in the top 16 picks of the NFL Draft.
Now, let’s look at the hit and bust rates for each position (remember, these numbers exclude TBAs because they are neither hits nor busts yet):
Quarterback Hit Rate: 48.2%
Defensive Tackle Hit Rate: 46.9%
Offensive Tackle Hit Rate: 69.2%
Quarterback Bust Rate: 44.4%
Defensive Tackle Bust Rate: 46.9%
Offensive Tackle Bust Rate: 19.2%
Pretty insane, huh? Offensive tackles chosen in the top 16 hit 69.2 percent of the time and bust on just a 19.2-percent clip.”
…
So are there still people pining for a DT over an OT?
January 8th, 2013 at 4:47 pm
There goes our 7th rd trade pick for him…
January 8th, 2013 at 4:47 pm
This loser is over.
January 8th, 2013 at 4:47 pm
Reggie get the overhead projector out of storage…
January 8th, 2013 at 4:48 pm
I posted the names of the first 3 DT’s taken in every draft going back about 10 year last year (should have saved the research lol), and they were named of guys nobody even heard of.
Easily the biggest bust position in the draft.
Star might be great, and he might play 40 average games and be out of the league.

Reggie’s Hits/Misses 2012 Draft.
#95 Tony Bergstrom OT
at #99 Texans took Ben Jones C who has proven to be a steal.
#129 Miles Burris LB
No missed gems, good selection by reggie
#158 Jack Crawford DE
at #160 Browns took Ryan Miller OT/G. Reggie could’ve taken Ben Jones before and then Ryan Miller instead here.
#168 Juron Criner WR
at #170 Colts took Vick Ballard RB.
at #173 Redskins took Alfred Morris RB.
#189 Christo Bilukidi DT
no missed gems.
#230 Nathan Stupar LB
no missed gems, but couldve taken Vontaze Burfict UDFA who at this spot would’ve been a smarter gamble.
–
This also shows that there aren’t a lot of gems around in mid-late rounds.
Chance Warmack, Barret Jones, and Kyle Long would be good gets in the early rounds.

I like this scenario give s us a chance to draft Warmack and Barret Jones in the 2nd.
January 8th, 2013 at 4:53 pm
The first 3 DTs in 2008, all 1st rounders, were Glenn Dorsey (flop), Sedrick Ellis(average) and Kentwan Balmer (has already played for 4 different teams).

Love wikipedia, in the bylines for all the draft picks on the draft pages, they have things like “All-Pro 2008″ or “traded to Seattle” and Gaines Adams has “deceased”.
Under Jamarcus it says “draft bust. Lazy. No work ethic”. LOL
Also Rolando McClain’s page says “On January 27, 2011, a vehicle being driven by Rolando McClain was shot at while McClain was in his hometown of Decatur, Alabama. No one was hurt and police are unsure if the shooter knew that the car belonged to McClain.[24][25] He later fired multiple shots at the police.”

I’m searching all over the web to find out who hired Rob Ryan. Can’t find anything. I Thought he’d have something 10 minutes after Jerry fired him.
January 8th, 2013 at 5:06 pm
Trade down Draft OLINE Barret Jones, Warmack.
btw Raiders ex Linebaker coach Johnny holland was on 95.7 the game a lil while ago.. He said Miles burris had a great first season despite playing out of posistion or when where he was used to playing in college.
he said he plays better to the line of scrimmage and used as a Pass Rusher.
Yet DA wants him to play MLB??? hmmm
January 8th, 2013 at 5:06 pm
Rob Ryan had a lot of talent to work with in Dal and failed imo, Ill pass maybe his twin will give him a job.

Who knows?
What is his big collegiate moment?

Statistically its a 50/50 coin flip.
An OT is 3.5 times more likely to be a hit rather than a flop.
I’ll take those odds over 50/50 at a poker table all night long!
January 8th, 2013 at 5:09 pm
Rob Ryan is not a good DC.. just has a big mouth that makes him appear more then he is
January 8th, 2013 at 5:11 pm
I’m warming up to accepting a helluva trade offer for Joeckel.
I like Mingo and Werner at DE enough for me to accept a 2nd rd pick or 2 for our spot.
January 8th, 2013 at 5:12 pm
I think Joeckel is going #1 overall.
January 8th, 2013 at 5:12 pm
Boy! The crime of all crimes he got busted for window tints and people want to cut him for it. So tyhe next guy we draft and he runs a stop sign we can cut him too. And the next guy gets busted for seatbelt we can cut him too……………laughable.
I guess you guys have never done a single thing worthy of a traffic ticket…..what a joke!
January 8th, 2013 at 5:13 pm
Exactly im not a McClain fan.. but this story is BLAH.. NEXT
January 8th, 2013 at 5:14 pm
if we draft Joeckel he better not spit on the sidewalk or we’ll cut his ass.
January 8th, 2013 at 5:16 pm

He got ARRESTED!!!
No, I have never been arrested before.
January 8th, 2013 at 5:17 pm
We dont need Joeckel. we need Interior OL.
Veldhere is more then fine .. He handles everything that is thrown at him and passes all the test.
Its just Joeckel comes from a bigger school? what makes u think he will be better then Veldehere?

January 8th, 2013 at 5:24 pm
If you spend a day reading some of the ridiculous stuff in here I wonder how in hell you guys expect to ever field and NFL team.
Young guys make a lot of mistakes especially in life. You guys want to cut or trade players fopr reaching their potential because they may command a top salary. You want all-pro players at PS prices. You want players who never make mistakes eventhough most of you do things 10x’s worse.
You want a SB all-pro calibre player at every position and the GM he better be ablke to predict the future of every draft choice or he’s an absolute idiot. Can’t miss players for every pick. Then they make no mistakes and play for dirt cheap………..lol
Some of you should really read the stuff you say and make sure it even makes sense to you.
Really!

I would have agreed with you two nights ago. But at 35-0 in last nights game I hit the Tivo list and watched the Falcons game again. John Abraham absolutely abused Veldheer. Made Veldheer look like Kenny George (bball player from UNC Ashville). All I vision was Joeckel on the left side and Veldheer on the right. Especially since Aaron Murray staying in school.

True, but that is like the Lions saying they shouldn’t have drafted Calvin Johnson, b/c Charles Rogers and Mike Williams were busts…
January 8th, 2013 at 5:27 pm
Not but u could see the production with Calvin Johnson and had the H W S.
LT is a high risk at number 3. For a team thats rebuilding u need to somewhat of a “safe” pick. Joeckel would be fine.
I’d really like if they traded down and took a OL.. and pass rusher
January 8th, 2013 at 5:27 pm
Everytime someone brings up Star Loutoulei name they always mention Ngata or Suh. Fact is they probably can’t name a third standout top 10 DT pick in recent memory.
January 8th, 2013 at 5:28 pm
And Star is a two-time all Pac-12 first teamer, which means he dominated his level of competition (unlike, say, Dontari Poe last year). IF Reggie thinks he can be a dominating NT, then take him.

This entire board was going crazy over the big fat ass from Bama a couple of years ago. Most of the guys you guys go gaga over end up being fat ass bust. The thing is nobody brings that stuff up.
McClain was one of the most requested players of that draft in here. Now read those same people and they want another guy just like him in Te’o.
I’m not at all saying thesse guys wont be great players it’s just most of the players you guys go crazy over end up crap. But no one aint gonna fess up to it I gaurantee that.
January 8th, 2013 at 5:29 pm
Actually im rolling with Reggie .. whatever he think is best is fine. I didnt know who he would have taken last year with his 1st pick.
but it was rumored to be David DeCastro.. or even Courtney Upshaw
January 8th, 2013 at 5:30 pm
I like Star because he is one of the consensus top 3 players on the board at a position we need IF we go to the 3-4.
Personally, never seen him play. Just going off reports.
The past results of 1st rd NTs does concern me.

January 8th, 2013 at 5:31 pm
I dont blame Reggie at all. He hasnt had nearly enough time to make up for years of back picks from AD.

The answer to beat great pitching in baseball is try to get as many hitters as possible.
You get BETTER PITCHERS.
We need pass rushers, to match the other pass rushers.
We gave up the 5th fewest sacks last year, 4th fewest QB hits. Numbers were even better per pass attempt in the NFL.
Same top 5 finishes in 2010. The only team in the NFL besides the Patriots and Saints to finish top 5 in both categories in 2 of the 3 years.
We have an ELITE pass blocking team.

Every position is high risk….
You hav eto know the player at that position. The draft is a HIGH RISK proposition……….period
No one knows for sure who will make the transition best. There are way too many variables.
I’ve been trying to get people in here to see that since my first ever post in here. The draft is a crapshoot at best. The best teams have great programs to plug players in and THAT is what makes it more successful.
As you can see, the turnover at the HC and GM position is very high because of that very fact. the draft is a CRAPSHOOT………..HC’s and GM’s hang the livelyhoods on 22 year old kids who are just starting out in life and you just don’t know what the hell they will do given the chance……………period

Raiders can still nab Dee Milliner, Star, or Jarvis Jones at #7. AZ needs to move ahead of Eagles at #4 for Luke.

That is my point, NO ONE knows for sure……..no one! The kids name is Alameda Taa’mu and he couldn’t make the transition as fast as he needed to but even that doesn’t mean he wont someday be a pro-bowl player. You just don’t know the variables are endless.

When Rob Ryan was working here, guess what? I met him at Safeway. Lol. He was walking from the parking lot into the store. I was headed into the store too.
I walked up to him and said ” Hi coach, good luck this season”, and shook his hand. He exchanged pleasantries, and I went into the store, he came in, too.
A few minutes later, he behind me in a aisle and I hear ” Looks like you used to play ball”.
I turned around, smiling and shaking my head. I said ” Coach you are good aren’t ya” lol.

Priest, I am big enough to admit I wanted Rolando McClain a few years in the draft. He’s been a total disappointment since ‘cept maybe his rookie year.
I’d cut him some slack with the revolving door of DC’s he’s had but he is tool who shows no good attitude and makes anyone want to root for his success.

WTF?????
We need guards, two of them or a guard and new center.

Exactly. Drafting an LT makes no sense. Our LT is the a brightspot.. still young. Not his fault he was stuck with that fugazzi ZBS crap

Veldheer stays at LT unless new kid is spectacular enough to replace him (and how can that be a BAD thing?)
New kid replaces the aging Barnes, more than likely.
Same thing Balt did with Oher.
Where do you think premier RT’s come from? RT’s in college usually are the second worst tackle on the team is all. Barnes needs to be replaced sooner or later.. if Joeckel is available we need to take him.
I will go crazy if we dont.
If he’s gone, trade down.

If you spend a day reading some of the ridiculous stuff in here I wonder how in hell you guys expect to ever field and NFL team.
Young guys make a lot of mistakes especially in life. You guys want to cut or trade players fopr reaching their potential because they may command a top salary. You want all-pro players at PS prices. You want players who never make mistakes eventhough most of you do things 10x’s worse.
You want a SB all-pro calibre player at every position and the GM he better be ablke to predict the future of every draft choice or he’s an absolute idiot. Can’t miss players for every pick. Then they make no mistakes and play for dirt cheap………..lol
Some of you should really read the stuff you say and make sure it even makes sense to you.

As in, maybe Reggie is still inclined to make a HC change. Still going thru evaluation process. You hear Pryor talking up about how liked a coach Allen is, while talking about how liked/great a coach Knapp is, who is already gone, maybe Reggie is still evaluating the staff and players.
January 8th, 2013 at 7:16 pm

Allen as HC more a drill sergeant, and oversaw the D mainly.
Tarver ran the D mostly.
Knapp ran the O entirely.
Tarver can still run the D mostly without Allen.
And whomevers the OC is going to run the O without Allen.
Could hire Carmichael as HC, Norv as OC, Tarver stays DC. Allen not missed.

ROB RYAN? Are u serious. Thats the dude that had Warren Sapp and Rod Colmen at DT and proceeded to switch the Defense to 3-4.
The IDIOT moved Sapp to Defensive end, shopped Colmen to Atlanta where he immediately becomes a pro-bowler.
Talk about trying to fit round pegs in square holes.
The dude took one of the most talented D’s in the league in Dallas and proceeded to melt it to chit.
Rob Ryan is the Defensive equal to Gregg Knapp. He has stomach hands–everything he touches turns to chit.
January 8th, 2013 at 7:21 pm
Al sent soon to be fired coaches to the Senior bowl too. Doesn’t mean anything per se that they’re at the Senior Bowl. Raiders have to prepare for that gig on short notice. Cant if Allen is let go, why Chiefs/Jags didnt get the gigs.
On the other hand, Allen at Senior Bowl could be also scouting for coaches to hire here.
There was a quick process of firing Knapp, Hoffman, Pollack, Holland. Then Senior Bowl on short notice. There’s been a long silence of Reggie seemingly doing nothing in terms of interviews. He could be doing an exhaustive evaluation of the entire football operation as he promised he would when week 17 ended.
I’m not ruling out the possibility of Allen still being evaluated.
January 8th, 2013 at 7:22 pm
Is DA already prepping for the Senior Bowl with out a OC? Or is Knapp back in the saddle with him for one more fling? But if DA is without a OC, you can take it to the bank that DA is gonna lose. This will be DAs’ “pro bowl” experience, by default.
January 8th, 2013 at 7:23 pm

January 8th, 2013 at 7:25 pm
Reggie has been silent on the OC thing because he has to find one first. He will have to be greener than DA. The lack of qualifications could be tough to find, unless Knapp is re hired.
January 8th, 2013 at 7:26 pm
At the Senior Bowl, you have to be in a 4-3 base defense with no blitzing, and the offense has to be in I formation, 2 wides.
There is no real “coaching” and each play book might have 25 plays in it.
All drills and fundamentals, which is a perfect gig for a 67 year old consultant.
January 8th, 2013 at 7:26 pm
#164…
To add to that last line…an exhaustive evaluation end of week 17 would not have been completed as soon as we announced Knapp/etc were fired. How long did it take end of week 17 to the news of Knapp fired? About 3 days? No way reggie wouldve done an exhaustive full evaluation of the staff and players in that time. A whole season of a lot of things to evaluate…lot of film cut ups, lot of data/statistical research (deep stats like JFB posts from that washington post site), looking at the entire scope of the HC’s game-plans for each week.

Rob Ryan once deployed the 0-11 defense, to prevent the team from completing a pass and getting out of bounds.
What was the result of the play? They completed a pass and got out of bounds.

Hue Jackson deserves another shot at running an offense, at least. That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised if he opted for that circus with the NYJ. Besides, the DC was someone he wanted to interview, right?
********************************************************
The Jets would have to opt for him, not the other way around.
That said, he would no doubt jump at the opportunity. Hue loves him some media attention, and with Rexy a little on the vulnerable side, could start the backstabbing for his job right off the bat.
January 8th, 2013 at 7:53 pm
Just promote Al Saunders and be done with it, he knows the personnel and should be able to put them in the best position to succeed.
And JFB, Tom Coughlin is older than Al and Dick Lebeau is 75, don’t worry about the 65 year old Saunder’s age, he can definitely coach the offense for a couple of years and help DA save his job.
January 8th, 2013 at 7:54 pm
everybody knows we need a pass rusher but i say screw it we r FCKD with DA anyway i say trade down somehow if its available and take two o lineman to go along with wiz,veldheer and bergs then take clowney with the first pick next year i have no doubt we will be picking in the top two next year

I have to pay attention to the Playoffs like one pays attention to a festering sore…and hope that somebody has the cure for Denver.
Norv Turner?? Better than Knapp, no doubt. But why bring in another old Coordinator when we’ve already got an old (yet competent) Coordinator on staff? Bring in somebody younger/fresher, or give Saunders the job and be done with it.

I just realized Romac got arrested on purpose so Raiders will get zero trade value for him. Won’t really lower what another team would pay him. Only question is what Goodall will do. And doesn’t goodall still have the option to sanction Romac for the charge that was dropped? That might put a kink in my theory.
January 8th, 2013 at 8:44 pm
There are 31 other teams trying very hard to get to the same place we are, and all of them have very smart people who are making decisions.
The OCO is a legendary stadium imo, but it’s only hard core, nostalgic Raider fans that probably feel that way anymore.
The fact the Raiders are still playing there is like the Falcons still playing at Fulton Co. Stadium, or the Vikings playing at Metroplitan Stadium.
The Bears are still playing at Soldier Field but it’s been refurbished, just like Lambeau where the Pack have their hall of fame located and have updated it nicely.
I heard there was going to be some big meeting today with superintendants or something in regard to the OCO lease? Anyone hear what resulted…if anything?

———————————-
Calm down a little there, BHP — The guy was going to get a traffic ticket — probably a warning at that — and he chose to do the wrong thing, resulting in arrest and further embarrassment, for him and the Raiders.
How many times has McClain CHOSEN to do the wrong thing in the past 2-years (out of, and in, the locker room)? He is (was?) one of the Team’s highest-paid guys, in one of its most important positions… even entrusted enough to be a play-calling captain on the field.
McClain’s too stupid to put his career first, and yet we’re supposed to support it and him while he pi$$es it all away…getting the Raiders the kind of press we definitely do not want?
Priest — You (and the Raiders) need to know when to let McClain go. It should’ve already happened.
January 8th, 2013 at 9:00 pm
Glad to see so many joining the Luke Joeckel bandwagon.
That’s far and away my choice for our first-round pick. The more I think about it though, the more I expect he’ll go 1 or 2. Guess we’ll see.
If Joeckel is gone I’d def trade down. If that’s not an option, Star Lotulelei.

LOL that’s all? Who cares. I’m not saying I condone going around causing trouble and getting arrested, but window tinting is rampant here in Cali and providing a false name is somewhat understandable from someone already in the media spotlight. Was it stupid? Yes. Is McClain a smart man? No. So, I get it. And, I think this is once again a case where the media makes a bigger deal out of something than it needs to be.
January 8th, 2013 at 9:18 pm
Rob Ryan?? He’s a waste as a Coordinator, just as his brother is (and his father was) a failure as a Head Coach.
He might be unemployed for “like, 5-minutes” — but he won’t be getting another NFL D-Coordinator’s job any time soon.
What the Ryan boys are good at is…being Ryan blowhards. Buddy peaked as a Coordinator, and both his boys got promoted beyond their abilities as motivators and teachers. It only took 2-decades to figure it out…but the Ryan brothers are nothing more than average NFL coaches, if that.
No Ryan re-re-retreads in Oakland!

And the same cop that arrested him for the shooting incident is the one who pulls him over. And then knowing it is the same cop, McLame tries to pass himself off as Jamarcus Russell.

I guess I mean in general. Everybody wants the same thing…the Lombardi. There’s some smart guys in management positions drafting the right players and acquiring the right free agents and getting the most talented coaches.
My point is the Raiders have to be that much smarter if we wanna get back to the top.
Do we have the right people in the right places?
There was a reason we had one of the most incredible runs in sports history from around 1967-1984…countless division titles 4 Super Bowl appearances which included 3 SB titles in a 7 yr. span coming AFTER years of dominance but never getting over the hump.
There was a time when Raiders had the best winning % of any organization in the four major sports.
What was the difference between us and the rest of the league back then? Al Davis…who was football genius in his own right and smart enough to surround himself with other smart people who knew what they were doing.
For whatever reason the edge that Al Davis had over the rest of the league was lost shortly after that incredible run, and there’s been a void ever since.
We need someone to fill that void. Smart people who know what they’re doing to compete with the other 31 who want the same thing we do.
Does anyone feel we have THOSE PEOPLE in place right now?

I hope my post didn’t suggest i’m disrespecting Al, just that whatever edge he had on the rest of the league was lost somewhere in the mid 80’s.
He still had periods of success and flashes of doing things better than everyone else, but that championship edge was lost; as evidenced by…no championships.
Green Bay has Lombardi, Chicago has Halas, Pittsburgh has Rooney and Oakland has Al Davis.

Reggie needs to trade all his draft picks for cash so he can purchase decent free agents. We suck at drafting anyways. Why would anybody expect that to change. We certainly haven’t upgraded in the scouting or drafting department. Then he could put that cash towards a new stadium. That would put a lot of ass in the seats.

Personally…I say trade down as far as possible and take Barrett Brown or whatever his name is from Alabama. The dude can play any Oline position at a high level.
>> trade down how far? until all RM drafts are backups? makes no sense. best scenario is if Joeckel is there at 3 and the Rams want to part with their 16,22 picks for it. maybe a 2nd too. THEN RM could fix some things
January 8th, 2013 at 11:01 pm
“Real” QB’s don’t run away from their protection to get slaughtered by guys twice their size.
It’s just that simple…you protect your QB with an OLine for a reason.
Understand yet Mistic?

Actually RG3 Didnt get hurt from the Read Option play originally back on Dec 9th game.
He was just buying time and decided to run for a first down.. he was already some what getting down when Halio Ngata took a big shot on him and got some of his knee. Every team that played Rg3 was giving him hard hits.
Russell wilson still running that Read Option only he gets down.. They cant even catch Kapernick.
Pryor wants to run a pro offense.. and chargers tried like mad to sack him.. they couldnt even touch him.. to elusive and he as stiff arm Shaun Phillip taking him down with it.

Herm Edwards explained it perfectly today-The position with the shortest career is RB.When you get a franchise QB you want him for at least 10 years.If you let him run like a RB you will shorten his career.Not only will his legs take a beating,but so will his shoulders.As Ken Stabler(you know who he is,right) said-I know a lot of good young running QBs but I don’t know many old running QBs.

I didnt say he was.. i jsut said play him in the RZ like DA said they should have been doing.
A creative OC will get him the ball when they need to. he was 3/3 in the RZ something Raiders struggled with all season. He is an asset to this team. 6ft 5 4.3 athletic guy. OC should use him somehow. Thats all im sayin

His scheming and tricks have worked well up to this point by fooling opposing defenses with his insidious devices, that have been fomented and encouraged by a hapless clown named Pete Carroll. ‘Carroll the Clown’ is an apt term to describe the devious mastermind behind this circus we’ve witnessed thus far.
Matty Ice will provide the antidote to the poison that has spread.

If the Raiders are though with Rolando, why not give him his walking papers? Who gas violated dark tint windows law! I understand because of the stereotyping y’all folks think about; drugs, guns and murder! Why not for safety first from the media or crazies with guns trying to take what’s yours in the first place! So y’all foks whose hating on small things, get a life worry about the mental ill people who can grab a guns from their parents gun safe or walking around killing people because they look at them wrong! That’s called Profiling and it would never stop!

I’m here to tell you the Seahawks are gonna bust some nuts all over the Falcons. The Falcons are gonna get butt hurt, literally. Hawks gonna drive the ball so far up their fudge tunnel the Falcons may even like it. That’s right. When you can do that to a team, all they do is bend it over and beg for more. When the Hawks ram it home, Atlanta will be smiling with ectasy. Now I’m not one for picking sides, but you gotta admit. Hawks are in heat, and Atlanta ain’t been so hotlanta as of late. They’ve taken that snooze after all the cornholin they layed on all them teams thru out the season. Their passion has gone limp. But the Hawks are playing about as hard as any team is right now. They’ve got the bull by the balls. Slurp it up gents, Hawks gonna be ballin.

January 9th, 2013 at 2:01 am
Look; there are two positions of depth in this draft; ironically they face each other quite a bit.
Offensive tackles & pass rushing hybrid OLB/DE’s.
With the ratio of busts @ the DT position & the fact the consensus #1 is a DT it makes sense in this talent depleted draft to trade down just a bit, fill some needs & move on.
Lewen of Michigan & Fisher of Central Michigan are duplicates; tall, angular, agile OT’s with excellent hand punch, aggressive demeanors & fine mirror skills; perfect for LOT.
I only saw a couple of posts that are reading from the same cup of teal leaves. Trade down to, say, 7th through 14, pick Lewen or Fisher, trade DMAC for a second & fourth, pick up Le Veon Bell of Michigan State with the second round pick ( with Goodson as the change of pace back this would be improve the running back position. Well, @ least potentially stay on the field longer than DMAC. . .), take Margus Hunt of SMU (JJ Watt clone, only taller) in the second or third (will have to manipulate draft picks to do so) & fill positions of need with the other picks.
The Raiders have to improve on both lines. Bergstrom can almost be penciled in @ the LG. The Raiders coaches seem to like Nix. Long seems to be for the moment a solid second round pick, so he’s an option. He could eventually be a tackle. But a priority should be to get a potentially elite LT & move Veldheer to RT, where his skill set seems more suitable. . .
January 9th, 2013 at 3:05 am
The Raiders are moving to a 3-4 defense, finally
the GM, HC, DC & D-Line coach all have experience with it.
bringing Rob Ryan in to coach LB’s wouldn’t be a bad idea, because he does too!
Tommy Kelly will be traded. Tollefson & McClain will be cut.
Wheeler, Gaither, Seymour, Shaughnessy, Bryant & Carter are all FA’s
the only “locks” I see under contract heading into next season are Houston & Burris. Plus I think Bryant & Wheeler will be re-signed
January 9th, 2013 at 3:19 am
I can’t wait to see what Reggie plans to do with this roster, who gets cut, traded, resigned…Im hopeful we can pick up a 2nd rounder and possibly another 3rd if not more. I want players who work hard and are more of a team player instead what about me, me…Heres to being hopeful and getting better everyday! Great Day yo be a Raider!!!
January 9th, 2013 at 3:23 am
couldn’t agree more, OK18!
think we could package Kelly & Ford for a 2nd rounder?
January 9th, 2013 at 3:28 am
Also,
I would be SHOCKED if McFadden, Heyward-Bey, Branch & Huff aren’t on the trade block
whether or not another team bites and gives up draft picks = another story. We may be stuck with them another year due to cap restraints

thats what Reggie told Hue and BigMac is a man of his word. the process has already begun: of the 53 man roster he inherited, half of those players didn’t make this year’s roster!

Completely agree. The kid’s a weapon and should be used. Will he become starter material? We’ll see, but I think it would be a waste for him not to see the field in certain situations. He’d be a problem for the other team in goal line and short yardage, for sure.

January 9th, 2013 at 6:23 am
I read a lot of excuse making for McClain’s arrest. Laughing at the tinted windows. But that’s not what got him arrested. It’s falsifying information to a cop that got him in the back of a squad car. There’s no reason to do that for a simple ticket unless you have something to hide, stupid, arrogant, or a combination of all of the above.
I think I underestimated just how stupid McClain is. I had heard from Nick Saban just how smart he was. What a great liar Saban is. If he tells you the sky is blue, should doubt him from now on.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:24 am

January 9th, 2013 at 6:30 am
I realize that in his first start TP was very good in the red zone, but that whole RZ package things fails more often than not.
Look at the Jets last year, it completely screwed up everything with the Tebow love, and fans chanting his name (which will happen with Pryor and one bad HALF from Carson) and all that.
Besides, I think Pryor’s best running skill is in the open field, he is a long-strider and not really a super compact, between the tackles runner.
You put a guy in for “packages” and guess what, the defense figures out those packages eventually.

Yep, he was the Pats LB coach from 2000-03. Jets are a mess of a franchise. They fire the GM, but keep the coach, later fire the OC, and the DC basically quit on resigning a deal. He wanted out. That’s a circus anytime the HC stands on his own and everyone around him is waiting to be hired. Not the way to run a franchise.

Cold and rainy here in Tejas, DIRT. How’s life in your neck of the woods?

Unfortunately in this world, there are people who really think they are smarter than everyone else, when they aren’t.
Slo is one of those dudes. He immediately said the NFL wouldn’t be nothing because he played at ‘Bama. He was a big film guy, but only “his way” he watches film. He made up some story to get out of practice, then played gang-banger in his home town. Gets kicked out of practice and thinks he is going to show everyone up on Facebook.
Now he lies to the police, probably because he legitimately thought he was going to outsmart the guy.

I am a Raider fan. The Colts, Seachickens and Skins were all teams worse than us, that improved at QB and now our better than us.
I am not cool with that. I hope all 3 of them (Luck, Wilson, Bob) blow out their knees playing basketball this offseason.

I used to live in Alabama. A local cop was a good buddy. He told me they stop cars routinely for window tinting violations. Pretty strict as I recall. They don’t have window tint laws in places like Arizona where the sun is fierce. Usually it’s the out of state tags that get stopped. The window tint places in state don’t bother to install a tint that they know is illegal. Locals know better than to try. Well, most of them anyway.

Good morning Dirt Lot.
It’s pretty common for out-of-staters to get pulled over for it. I used to live around a military installation and there’s a lot of people from out of state around with their souped up vehicles. It’s an easy infraction to write up especially toward the end of the month when the quota starts to hit. Cops have quotas you know, don’t believe otherwise. Amongst themselves they know the score. Like I said, locals know better and local tinting shops won’t even try to get past the law. They would be in trouble too if found out.
January 9th, 2013 at 7:24 am
Well, Looks Like we will get to see what REX really thinks of his brother Rob because they ain’t got no DC in New Yawk now….bet he doesn’t even lob him a call…That’s all you need to know when it comes to Robby Boy..
Also, this Hubuub about McClain…wouldn’t be a big deal if the MILLIONAIRE didn’t for some inexplicable reason LIE to the police about his IDENTITY..and instead just paid the ticket like thousands of the rest of us do every day here in America. Jesus..What an Idiot..I get a ticket, I say you got me..Pay my fine, and move on with my life and Im only a multi-thousandaire…

In Alabama it is okay to discharge a gun next to a guys head, that is just a misdemeanor, but if you give a cop a false name they will execute you.
January 9th, 2013 at 7:31 am
Window tint tickets are 1. a revenue generator and 2. a reasonable cause to pull you over and determine if there are any other revenue generating violations. MOST cops won’t waste their time with it, unless they have been mandated by the local budget to up the revenue they generate. In NY we have a law that says you must have front license plate, it exists for no other reason than to generate revenue, but it ALSO gives officers probable cause to pull you over. People get pinched on DWI’s all the time because they were stopped for no front plate.
No for Ro to get nabbed for giving a false name? It just doesn’t add up. He was driving his own vehicle and we are talking about $100 ticket. There HAS to be more to this story. For the record, that is an incredibly stupid thing to get arrested for, ESPECIALLY for a ‘famous’ athlete. They KNEW who he was. It just makes no sense.
He also claims that they are ‘framing’ him (what, his windows weren’t tinted, but while he was under arrest, the officer tinted them himself?) and that the Alabama police are ‘out to get him’… it begs the question, why the hell does he keep going back?

January 9th, 2013 at 7:37 am
The McClain incident further validates the fact that he is an immature multi millionaire that has very limited value to the Raiders at this point.
The types of guys we will be drafting are going to be like Burriss and Bergstrom.
Another misconception about the old Raiders was that they were comprised of nothing but renegades.
Nothing could be further form the truth.
Sure we had some characters like the Tooz, Snake and Freddie who all enjoyed an occasional adult beverage.
The fact is though those guys were ready to play on Sundays.
The bedrock of the team were guys like Willie Brown, Upshaw, Shell, Otto, Conners etc. Guys who played football and went home.
They policed the locker room and kept things under control.
Coaches raraely needed to get involved.
Reggie quote:
“You want the players to doggone take it upon themselves and run it. We’re not at that level.”
That is where we are headed but it is going to take two really good drafts to get there.

I think that was from last year when he was in the running for our HC position. I can’t think there is any reason he would even consider a lateral move from the Saints to Oakland. The Saints would never let him interview for it. In fact, I am pretty sure by NFL rule you CAN’T interview a contracted coach for a lateral move.

The McClain incident further validates the fact that he is an immature multi millionaire that has very limited value to the Raiders at this point.
The types of guys we will be drafting are going to be like Burriss and Bergstrom.
Another misconception about the old Raiders was that they were comprised of nothing but renegades.
Nothing could be further form the truth.
Sure we had some characters like the Tooz, Snake and Freddie who all enjoyed an occasional adult beverage.
The fact is though those guys were ready to play on Sundays.
The bedrock of the team were guys like Willie Brown, Upshaw, Shell, Otto, Conners etc. Guys who played football and went home.
They policed the locker room and kept things under control.
Coaches raraely needed to get involved.
Reggie quote:
“You want the players to doggone take it upon themselves and run it. We’re not at that level.”
That is where we are headed but it is going to take two really good drafts to get there.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That was back when players considered it a ‘privilege’ to play for The Raiders and Al. These guys may have been hell raisers but played their a$$ off on Sunday. Unfortunately times and the NFL culture has changed.

About Carmichael, Purpledrank said a buddy who works at the Oakland Hilton saw him there. That’s why I asked previously if Purpledrank is fairly reliable.

OK
Absolutley correct.
The problem is Mr Davis was living in the past.
It is the primary reason we had the worst cap issue in NFL history in 2012 and will still pay for into 2014.
Mr Davis was old school. Pay your players well, treat them well and they will play well on Sundays.
Unfortunately, degenerates like JR, Routt, McClain, Moss, and overrated types like Seymour, Kelly, Warren, Sapp, Walker, Henderson, Boss etc. etc. simply cashed the paychecks.
A sad state of affairs that we will correct but it will take a couple more seasons to do it.

Bad info on Carmichael. He is not coming to Oakland as an OC.
We will be looking at a special assistant somewhere where an OC job means a big promotion.
Our problems are bigger than changing an OC coordinator and every experienced OC in the league knows it.
“New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. is reportedly interviewing with the Chicago Bears as they seek a replacement for Lovie Smith. ProFootballTalk.com reported the news Wednesday evening, and a league source confirmed the report to NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune.”
“Carmichael interviewed for openings with Oakland and Indianapolis last year”.

Great points Charlie, it always made me sick to see these guys get ever richer and not reward the Raiders and Al with their best play. Absolutely can’t stand Sapp, Moss, Krispy Kreme (JR) and Hall.
I hope we don’t lose too much of the Raider mystique (what’s left) under Reggie. I know Reggie and DA are trying to change the culture but they are off to a very rocky start. Most of their decisions have been questionable at best.

One thing that that people have forgotten… Cops don’t ask for your name. They ask you for your license and registration.

Charlie, You got a better handle on cap issues, etc., and said Al went all out moneywise in the uncapped year(2010?). Now, Cork and JMac say the cap constraints are overrated and Al could always find a way around it, so I was wondering if the massive overspending in 2010 is, in your opinion, why that isn’t true anymore. In other words, did Al dig a hole too deep for even him to get out of without paying the piper as we are now?

The raiders could add the assistant hc title to Carmichael to sweeten the pot.

I said back when he first got suspended, if you want to send a message to other players, cut him immediatly. By dikcing around with him, suspending him and what not, it only backfires and looks bad on the Front office.
Now he’s happy he’s gone and blown any trade value that he thought the Raiders could have with him.

Charlie,
I’d be interested in your take on Bears situation compared to ours.
They gave up more for Cutler than we gave up for Palmer, yet Palmer’s stats have proven him to be better over long haul and recently, but they had no # 1’s for 2006 and 2007 as a result, AND if u look at the Bears draft picks since 2003 for instance…ESPECIALLY their # 1 picks…imo it’s WORSE than us. YET here they are competitive every year.
Someone said “yeah..their defense keeps ‘em in games” to which i respond “EXACTLY”. The question is how is it they have such a good defense when they have had such horrible drafts…and in fact WORSE than ours? Although that is my opinion as far as that goes, but i’m interested in your thoughts.

Al would’ve been a great owner if he trusted more in a GM and Scouts. Other than that, he was an owner that didn’t care to be in the highest paid category. I doubt Mark will be that way so we’ll see if this money savings trip is for any good reason.

You would think coaches would see Oakland as a good opportunity.

January 9th, 2013 at 8:39 am
Full Disclosure
The hole that was dug was two fold.
It was a combination of a lack of draft picks as a result of needing PANIC DEALS(SEYMOUR) to compensate for poor drafting over a decade AND having the highest payroll on any NFL team in 2012 let alone 2010.
When Reggie took the job:
As of March 25, 2012, The Oakland Raiders held TWO SELECTIONS in the 2012 NFL Draft (a 5th and 6th round pick), which was just about a month away. The NFL awarded the Raiders three COMPENSATORY PICKS March 26. (A 3rd round 4th round and 5th round pick).
“In 2010, Al Davis went all out for his football team in an uncapped year and spent the most money in the league at over $150 million in player salaries. That is easily the most money ever spent on a team in the history of the NFL. One thing we know for sure is that Al Davis made his own bed here and whether that is good or bad, he must lie in it. At the other end of the spectrum are the Bengals, who have only $83.5 million in commitments for 2012. The Buccaneers, Titans, Redskins, and Broncos also are under $100 million.”
We are about FIVE million over the cap in 2013 without even drafting a player.
“Meanwhile, Oakland is one of 10 teams currently over the salary cap. Oakland is $4.5 million over the cap. It was severely over the cap last season. This year, the Raiders, who will have to address punter Shane Lechler, tight end Brandon Myers and linebacker Philip Wheeler in free agency, will still have to make a lot of tough decisions and will have to tweak some contracts again.”
The fact is Mr Davis kept kicking the can down the road, then Hue got Palmer making the cap situation worse AND giving up two very high draft picks in 2012 and 2013.
This is why I have said that it will take 3-5 years to fix this mess and that our problems are much bigger than who our OC is.
It is also why I say Reggie had NOTHING to do with the mess. His hands were tied when he took the job and I laugh when some on this blog were surprised we had the season we had. ZERO ROSTER DEPTH (due to the aforementioned cap problems AND A BAD ROSTER TO BEGIN WITH) and several injuries were the primary culprits.
“It’s going to be structured around the personnel part and getting good players,” Madden said. “It’s all about players. We can talk about this thing and that thing and having good cheerleaders and all that. That’s all nice but you have to have players. If you have players, you’re probably going to win. If you don’t have players, you’re not going to win. … They’re going to go out and get the best players, and if they don’t have them, then they’re going to keep trying until they get them.”

One game Allen – who fired offensive coordinator Greg Knapp and three other assistants – does not want to play is “What if?’
Like what if he left alone an offense in which Darren McFadden ran for 5.4 yards per carry, rather than bring in Knapp and change to a zone-blocking scheme …
“I’m not going to look back and try to say what could have, would have, or should have been,” Allen said. “I’m looking forward to what we need to do to try to get this team better in the future.”
McFadden’s 3.3 yards per carry was the lowest average ever for a Raiders running back with at least 150 carries. (Harvey Williams put up a 3.5 in 1994.)

January 9th, 2013 at 8:53 am
Cash Flow From Operations For NFL Teams
NFL teams try to fund their day-to-day operations exclusively through shared and unshared revenues. Put simply, they try to make enough money from football activities to fund player salaries, coaching salaries, travel expenses, and all other day-to-day operations.
On average, an NFL team will generate approximately $15-20 million in cash flow a year. This means that the NFL team is taking in $15-20 million more cash revenues than they are putting out cash expenses. But in the case of the Oakland Raiders, cash flow from operations is thought to be in the range of $5-8 million per year. Cash flow from operations for the Raiders has been compromised due to low unshared local revenues and high player salary expenses.
January 9th, 2013 at 8:55 am
Mark Davis can ill afford to continue to finance daily operations by selling off chunks of the team.
Accordingly, he has already started the process of using only cash flow from operations to run day-to-day operations. The decision to cut Routt saved the Raiders $5 million in real cash expenditures that would have been due as a roster bonus. For a team like the Raiders that would have generated only $5-8 million in cash flow for 2012, the release of Routt has the potential to almost double the team’s cash flow situation.
January 9th, 2013 at 8:56 am
The cash flow situation is as advertised, and it will time to dig out of this hole.
January 9th, 2013 at 8:57 am
DA firing Knapp is proof that he considered we underachieved on Offense, if DA felt it wasn’t Knapp’s fault or that Knapp did a good job, he’d still be here.
Simple as that.
Unless you think it was Reggie forcing the Head Coach to fire his OC 1 year into his tenure, if that’s the case then things don’t bode well for DA since 1st year coaches are usually given more than 1 year to operate freely.

Not quite. Per ESPN:
Each team made $102.5 million in national television revenue last year, according to financial statements released by the Green Bay Packers, which is roughly double what the average team makes each year in ticket sales.
January 9th, 2013 at 8:58 am
According to the packers 2010 income statement home ticket sales generated $31.1 million and road ticket sales $16 million.
Total revenue of $258 million.

January 9th, 2013 at 9:00 am
So if Reggie is looking at Green Bay assistants…who would be worth while to come here?
January 9th, 2013 at 9:01 am
The running problems bogged down the offense, taking away play-action possibilities and putting quarterback Carson Palmer in bad spots. Oakland faced 2nd-and-7 or longer on a league-worst 71.1 percent of second downs, and when it did get in scoring position, defenses were pretty confident the Raiders had to throw the ball
.
They averaged 1.74 yards per carry in the red zone, 31st in the NFL.
Regardless of what one thinks of the talent level on the Raiders, the system was a bad fit and a big reason they went from back-to-back 8-8 seasons to 4-12.

It was pretty undeniable to not notice the lack of production from the offense. Which is why you have to question the decision to even hire him in the first place.
I fear that Knapp’s production was so bad, that it may lead DA to think that it was the sole reason for his horrible season, which would be untrue. He really has a lot to improve on this year, not just the Offense and Roster. His coaching was really bad all around.

Speaking of cash, it would have been better to cut Seymour last offseason and pay him 7.5 million not to play than reworking his deal and paying him the remaining 7.5 million of his guaranteed 15 million salary (however it’s distributed for cap purposes, Rich still gets his 15, as opposed to 7.5 had he been cut), right?.
And the reason we paid him the 15 million was because the organization felt this team was going to be competitive and in the hunt for a playoff spot, otherwise it makes no sense, you don’t spend that much cash on an older guy if you think you are headed for a “transition” year with no expectations.
Mark, Reggie and the fans expected much more out of the 2012 Raiders, the coaching staff didn’t deliver.

Ticket sales make up about 1% of the teams revenue.
==================================================
Not quite. Per ESPN:
Each team made $102.5 million in national television revenue last year, according to financial statements released by the Green Bay Packers, which is roughly double what the average team makes each year in ticket sales.

According to the packers 2010 income statement home ticket sales generated $31.1 million and road ticket sales $16 million.

Less that 1% of revenue?

Charlie, really then the only way we could possibly make any sort of playoff run this next season is if the guys we have on our roster started playing like they were supposed to.
Yes, Al way overspent, but if the guys he overpaid actually played as Al expected, we at least wouldn’t be faced with double digit losses during this transition period.
A lot “if’s” come into play.

DA firing Knapp is proof that he considered we underachieved on Offense, if DA felt it wasn’t Knapp’s fault or that Knapp did a good job, he’d still be here.
Simple as that.
Unless you think it was Reggie forcing the Head Coach to fire his OC 1 year into his tenure, if that’s the case then things don’t bode well for DA since 1st year coaches are usually given more than 1 year to operate freely.
—————————-
We can all blame Knapp, But somebody besides Knapp figured Knapp would be good for this offensive group of players. But, of course DA won’t play the what if game and answer THAT question.
January 9th, 2013 at 9:11 am
The running problems bogged down the offense, taking away play-action possibilities and putting quarterback Carson Palmer in bad spots.
*******************************
It would help if Carson would sell the play-action more so. Dude just half-azzes, half of them.
That was Soup’s one, top-shelf skill. He worked the hell out of his fakes, and I think SOME (probably a small portion but still some) of our running and play-action issues are due to teams not being sold a tough play-action fake.
January 9th, 2013 at 9:11 am
Lost in the drama of the Rolando McClain situation was the solid play that Omar Gaither brought when he signed and took over the starting MLB spot.
While he may not be the flashiest of linebackers, Gaither did his job and made all the plays he was supposed to. The difference that made in the middle, and especially in the running game, was obvious from the start.
He very well could have earned himself a starting spot on this team in 2013. If nothing else, the Raiders would be extremely comfortable having him as a backup as well.
Resigning Philip Wheeler should be the highest of priorities on Reggie McKenzie’s offseason list.
Wheeler was by far the Raiders’ best player on defense all season long, and seemed to flourish as more of a downhill linebacker in the Raiders’ system compared to the Cover-2 he played in Indianapolis.
======
Philip Wheeler has shown that he is a player this defense can build around moving forward, and is well deserving of a multi-year contract. We can expect Reggie McKenzie to make a significant effort to sign him to which before he gets to the open market.
=======
The Raiders could look very different on the interior defensive line in 2013. Richard Seymour’s contract voids this offseason, and Tommy Kelly’s contract makes him a candidate for release as well.
In light of which, the Raiders can ill afford to lose Desmond Bryant. Bryant possesses good pass rush ability inside, and has continued to get better with more and more playing time.
Should the Raiders switch to a 3-4 front, Bryant could flourish as a DE. Either way, we can expect re-signing Bryant to be a priority for Reggie McKenzie this offseason.
=======
Joselio Hanson was brought in on a one-year deal at the beginning of last season, and played quite well as a nickel corner.
Hanson possesses the ability to match up with quicker slot receivers inside, and flashed some impressive play-making ability throughout the season.
Nickel corners are extremely hard to find in the NFL, and the Raiders should make resigning Joselio Hanson a priority before free agency hits.

-With a #1 to throw too and Streator emerging, he has more targets who can catch the ball and make plays.

-Last quarter of season unit was # 3 in the league in overall D. That trend needs to continue and with the # 3 pick most likely coming to help it only gets better.

********************************
From back in 2006 (or earlier not sure when I started) when I was first on this blog to present day, I have been informed that spending is irrelevant that AD always gets his guy and that if a player is dropped in March it is because they did not want them anyways and has nothing to do with the cap. That was not just bloggers but JM himself when he ran this blog.
I think that is a load of bull and after AD passed away we now get to reap all this stuff.
Kind of like the National Debt except on a much smaller scale.
January 9th, 2013 at 9:20 am
I agree that DA wasn’t ready for the job, but I don’t see any attributes from last year that have me hopeful that he will ever be ready. I think DA is going to have us floundering until we come full circle with our cap mess and that could take a couple-three years. so,

I would just caution all of you to be wary of thinking our running game was elite in 2011.
Take a look at our performance against good defenses and our entire offense, let alone a running game, dissapeared. We got crushed. The stats can be misleading.
The Packers, Chefs, Patriots and Dolphins shut us down.
If we are going to return to the playoffs we need to run the ball on good teams. That means building the lines.Barnes has shown he can not compete against a good dline (see Denver 12/6/12) and Carlisle will most likely retire. This also assumes that Brisiel can have a better year than he did in 2012.
Lots of question marks.
January 9th, 2013 at 9:24 am
DJ
I admire your enthusiasm.
I wish we could surge into the playoffs as well.
I am telling you we will be lucky to win 7 next year.
As I have said we are now in year 2 of a 3-5 year project. Still over the cap in 2013 without a full complement of picks till 2014.
“Meanwhile, Oakland is one of 10 teams currently over the salary cap. Oakland is $4.5 million over the cap for 2013. It was severely over the cap last season. This year, the Raiders, who will have to address punter Shane Lechler, tight end Brandon Myers and linebacker Philip Wheeler in free agency, will still have to make a lot of tough decisions and will have to tweak some contracts again. But they should be able to do a little more than they did last year.”
“Fans who pined for the Jon Gruden fantasy to materialize should prepare for a more simple reality: McKenzie and Allen rolling up their sleeves and embarking on year two.
In some ways, the second year will be a lot like the first — lots of changes to the roster.
“I know we have some guys that are going to be the core of what we want and the type of players we want,” Allen said. “I also know we’ve got some work to do to get more of those types of players.”
Those players will be found within a budget, because McKenzie does not believe in running up huge salary cap overages as Al Davis did, and the Raiders are believed to be close to the projected $121 million figure for 2013.
McKenzie told reporters Nov. 30 the Raiders would be in position “to do some things” but lamented he didn’t see being able to bring aboard a big-ticket free agent in the way the Packers did with Charles Woodson when he was Director of Operations in Green Bay.
That means that players with salaries that appear to exceed their production are candidates to be traded or released. McKenzie is currently without second- and fifth-round draft picks.
With that in mind, don’t be surprised if McKenzie deals the No. 3 overall pick to pick up additional ones.
Middle linebacker Rolando McClain, scheduled to make $4 million, will be released when it makes the most sense with regard to the salary cap.
Others whose financial commitments could be an issue include wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey ($7,721,000 salary) and defensive tackle Tommy Kelly ($6.5 million salary, with potential bonuses up to $9.4 million).”
“The Raiders are making changes to their offensive staff. It may take a couple of years to dig themselves out of a terrible cap situation that this regime inherited.”
“The 2012 roster purge was necessary to even lineup this year but no one should have fooled themselves into thinking it would mean immediate success. Not sure things will be any better next year.”

You run the ball to beat the Oakland Raiders of the NFL in the regular season, then need to pass the ball to keep up with the Mannings, Brady, Brees and Rogers in the post-season.
January 9th, 2013 at 9:28 am
Look at that Skins as an example.
Led the NFL in the regular season in rushing, faced a good defensive team in the Skins, and couldn’t do squat for 3/4 of the game.
Once they couldn’t pass the ball and convert some 3rd downs, they were toast.
January 9th, 2013 at 9:29 am
DJ Johnny for OC. 12-4 book it! LOL
If he could work with DA….
The problem is that with players that are overpaid is that by definition do not play up to the contracts. People like Wimbley and Routt are not physically able to. No one else in the NFL is going pay what AD paid in these cicumstances. In other instances, something like McClain’s contract was reasonable considering his draft position and all the talking heads thought he was a good pick. That is just unfortunate and happens to every team.
If we could draft an elite pass rusher that pans out. Get a #1 WR in free agency and get a new guard and new center (move Wiz to guard), and new left tackle from draft or FA and sign all our key FA’s like Meyers and Wheeler, it is quite possible we could be 10-6 or better but the point I (and others) have been making is that we do not have the cap room to do all this and even if we did we have to get lucky with one or more our draft picks and stay relatively healthy.

Speaking of cash, it would have been better to cut Seymour last offseason and pay him 7.5 million not to play than reworking his deal and paying him the remaining 7.5 million of his guaranteed 15 million salary (however it’s distributed for cap purposes, Rich still gets his 15, as opposed to 7.5 had he been cut), right?.
>>>>
Plus by restructuring it just put off the guaranteed money until this year.
This is the ONE decision Reggie made that makes me wonder if he is the right person for the job. Why did he not only keep Seymour, but restructure him to screw up this years cap? It makes no sense unless he thought it would bring in more paying customers, or he thought we were going deep into the playoffs (PLAYOFFS?)
A GM on the top of his game would have cut bait with Seymour and focused on rebuilding with players he intended to keep for this year (and beyond).

We all know we need breed, Rodgers, manning or Brady….but the don’t grow on trees. The 2012 raiders proved that you can have a qb throw for 4k yards and you still suck.
Dealing in reality, we can win with Palmer as long as our wrs play better and our running game improves and the defense doesn’t turn 90% of palmers turnovers into Tds.
If we could draft a franchise qb, yeah it would all fall in place. In the meantime, we need a running game to win some games and get this franchise back to respectability.

This is what Reggie actually said:
“I remember talking to Ted Thompson. His rookie year he was able to get Charles Woodson. I would have liked to have done that.”
On that interview, Reggie was speaking about last season, his rookie season as a GM, he clearly says Ted Thompson was able to sign Woodson the year he was made GM and he would have liked to have the chance to do the same, as in signing a big-name Free Agent.
2012 people, not 2013, that doesn’t mean we are in great shape, but we will be better off, jeez just make reports accurate….

See the problem right there is on 12 play drives vs 6 play drives, there’s a likelyhood of things going wrong (fumble, int, holding call) that stall out your drive.

This is false information to an extent. We were desperately over the cap last season. How many other guys would have had to be cut to support the 7.5 mill in dead money last year?

Its not like Seymour got additional money out of the deal (he would have if the contract hadnt voided).You guys preach so often that Al never had cap problems, but the one time Reggie plays Al’s cap game, you instantly say he isn’t qualified for the job?
We already had dead money from Routt, Wimbley and I am sure there are a few other guys. How much dead money can you float in one season?

No teams run on good defensive teams.
You think the Texans are going to ground and pound the Pats this weekend?
You run the ball to beat the Oakland Raiders of the NFL in the regular season, then need to pass the ball to keep up with the Mannings, Brady, Brees and Rogers in the post-season.
——–
We all know we need breed, Rodgers, manning or Brady….but the don’t grow on trees. The 2012 raiders proved that you can have a qb throw for 4k yards and you still suck.
Dealing in reality, we can win with Palmer as long as our wrs play better and our running game improves and the defense doesn’t turn 90% of palmers turnovers into Tds.
If we could draft a franchise qb, yeah it would all fall in place. In the meantime, we need a running game to win some games and get this franchise back to respectability.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Ummm, you don’t PASS on good Ds either. That’s why SF kicked the sht out of Brady and Rodgers earlier this season and why SF will do it again this weekend.

Gets it.
Only 3 teams in the wholf f’n league ran the ball 50% of more of the time.
3 teams!!!!
And 3rd and 1 runs were converted less than half the time, league-wide.
It is a passing league, and 3rd and 1 is a passing down now.

Maybe McClain did give the Cops his correct information, but because they only know him as Slowlando, they falsley imprisoned him.

Rolando McClain signed a citation for overly dark window tint as “(Expletive) y’all,” Decatur police said. #Raiders

When a patrol supervisor asked McClain to put his real name on the ticket, McClain told the sergeant, “That is my name,” per Decatur Daily.

See the problem right there is on 12 play drives vs 6 play drives, there’s a likelyhood of things going wrong (fumble, int, holding call) that stall out your drive. An awful lot has to go perfect to execute 12 play drives. But not a huge margin for error for 6 play drives. I’d much rather be the quick strike offense than the ground and pound offense

They talked about that on Sirius in the offseason. Its something like 75% of all drives lasting more the 11 plays do NOT end in a score.

I think the Texans need to definitely pound the rock and control the clock to keep Brady off the field.
***********************
You got to outshoot him, IMO.
You can have a nice ball-control, 12 play 85 yard drive, and then the Pats go 6 plays 80 yards in 2 minutes right back at you.
You just can’t keep up trying to run the ball, unless you are fortunate in the turnover department and get extra possessions, but good luck with that.
^^^^^^^
The Pats defense is not that good.
They can be run on. I also think the Texans should run some no huddle and of course pass, but they need to control time of possession.
The Texans D can hold Brady, but they need to make sure his azz is sitting down most of the time….keep him rusty.
January 9th, 2013 at 9:47 am
SF aint winning this weekend.
The 49ers will probably rush for 150 yards, generate 5 sacks on Rodgers, and still get backdoored at the end to the superior player on the field.

How did that work out in Green Bay this year?
January 9th, 2013 at 9:50 am
Charlie Says:
January 9th, 2013 at 8:39 am
Full Disclosure
The hole that was dug was two fold.
It was a combination of a lack of draft picks as a result of needing PANIC DEALS(SEYMOUR) to compensate for poor drafting over a decade AND having the highest payroll on any NFL team in 2012 let alone 2010.
When Reggie took the job:
As of March 25, 2012, The Oakland Raiders held TWO SELECTIONS in the 2012 NFL Draft (a 5th and 6th round pick), which was just about a month away. The NFL awarded the Raiders three COMPENSATORY PICKS March 26. (A 3rd round 4th round and 5th round pick).
“In 2010, Al Davis went all out for his football team in an uncapped year and spent the most money in the league at over $150 million in player salaries. That is easily the most money ever spent on a team in the history of the NFL. One thing we know for sure is that Al Davis made his own bed here and whether that is good or bad, he must lie in it. At the other end of the spectrum are the Bengals, who have only $83.5 million in commitments for 2012. The Buccaneers, Titans, Redskins, and Broncos also are under $100 million.”
We are about FIVE million over the cap in 2013 without even drafting a player.
“Meanwhile, Oakland is one of 10 teams currently over the salary cap. Oakland is $4.5 million over the cap. It was severely over the cap last season. This year, the Raiders, who will have to address punter Shane Lechler, tight end Brandon Myers and linebacker Philip Wheeler in free agency, will still have to make a lot of tough decisions and will have to tweak some contracts again.”
The fact is Mr Davis kept kicking the can down the road, then Hue got Palmer making the cap situation worse AND giving up two very high draft picks in 2012 and 2013.
This is why I have said that it will take 3-5 years to fix this mess and that our problems are much bigger than who our OC is.
It is also why I say Reggie had NOTHING to do with the mess. His hands were tied when he took the job and I laugh when some on this blog were surprised we had the season we had. ZERO ROSTER DEPTH (due to the aforementioned cap problems AND A BAD ROSTER TO BEGIN WITH) and several injuries were the primary culprits.
“It’s going to be structured around the personnel part and getting good players,” Madden said. “It’s all about players. We can talk about this thing and that thing and having good cheerleaders and all that. That’s all nice but you have to have players. If you have players, you’re probably going to win. If you don’t have players, you’re not going to win. … They’re going to go out and get the best players, and if they don’t have them, then they’re going to keep trying until they get them.”
………
good insight. though, without a competent OC it makes it harder to identify the talent needed to run a system.
Plus, there is SOME talent here. The Raiders may not be ready to win the AFC West, but they should be in more games than they were.

No worries. Although I think a reporter first said that Jason Campbell played more tentavely looking over his shoulder at the Bruce, it was repeated in here until it was “commom knowledge”. I never saw it. Thought he played largely the same as #1 or #2, in relief or as a starter, or whether or not Bruce was healthy or hurt.
He11, another example of a “common knowledge” untruth is the league wide perception of Raider fans, and it’s real. I usually visit upcoming teams sites (SBNation) and half their fans really think it’s true.

Man that’s a telling stat.
I was watching the Texans-Bengals game, Houston ran those long, methodical drives that kept grinding out the clock but you could feel that they were one bad play away from stalling and it happened 3 or 4 times, I remember they refused to throw a ball over 12-15 yards, now some of that is the defensive coverage designed to prevent Andre Johnson going over the top, but man there’s got to be a balance between “taking what the defense gives you” and letting the opponent dictate the game.
Not an offense I would want here.

The comparison of Palmer to Soup on his ability to sell play action is hilarious. It’s not Palmer being lazy. He just can’t do it. Nobody is buying the PA fake anyway. What’s the point in trying to sell it? It’s a bad philosophy to rely on Palmer being a running threat/rollout type QB. Hope the next OC sees Palmer for what he is and doesn’t ask him to do what he can’t.

I think Kelly is gone. I think he was trade bait last year but his poor play has ruined that. DHB may take a pay cut or get cut and go on the Market. Palmer will restructure and spread it out if RM needs him to but he is not taking a pay cut – the money is already spent so to speak. By restructuring all we are doing is prolonging the problem.
The big question is if we are already over the cap even with like 8 key FA’s gone how are we even going to retain what we have let alone build talent?
My guess is we are resigning Wheeler some of the young DB’s as well as Bryant and the MB we picked up at the end and will let Meyers and Shonasty walk. We will sign some washed up or overlooked WR to a 1-2 year contract as our crapshoot to find a #1 reciever. We may resign Spenser at the minimum and keep Huff as CB and he may resturcture. In other words don’t expect big upgrades here unless we get lucky in the draft and/or our existing players step up such as our backup TE’s. We may even trade McFadden to save money.

I would just caution all of you to be wary of thinking our running game was elite in 2011.
Take a look at our performance against good defenses and our entire offense, let alone a running game, dissapeared. We got crushed. The stats can be misleading.
The Packers, Chefs, Patriots and Dolphins shut us down.
If we are going to return to the playoffs we need to run the ball on good teams. That means building the lines.Barnes has shown he can not compete against a good dline (see Denver 12/6/12) and Carlisle will most likely retire. This also assumes that Brisiel can have a better year than he did in 2012.
Lots of question marks.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is just flat wrong as to the run game….here are the stats for those games:
2011:
Raiders19-NE-31
McFadden 14 carries for 75 yards = 5.357 YPC
Down 24-10 in the 3rd and abandoned the run
Raiders 0-KC 28
Bush 17 carries for 99 yards = 5.823 YPC
Down 14-0 in the first and 21-0 in 3rd
Raiders 14-Phins-34
Bush 22 carries for 100 yards= 4.55 YPC
Down 34-0 in 3rd
The Packers did hold Bush to 3.39 yards per carry.
Our running game was fine in 2011…..the defense fawking sucked. But I agree that we need to build the o-line, but getting back to the 2011 level running the ball would be great.
You just hate Hue or something?

LOL.
Once after a huge fight outside a Bar, a cop slammed my face into a car, told me to stay down and when I got up to say “It’s ok officer, let’s all settle down here”, he decked my calf with his shotgun so I would stay down…that hurt!, but at least they let us go after a few minutes.

I have personally witnessed a cop lie under oath to get a favorable ruling.
I have personally witnessed a cop threaten to present false evidence against someone.
I have personally witnessed a cop physically assault someone that had zero intention of impeding him in his duty, and charge that person with assault.
Don’t talk to me about there being no such thing as overzealous cops. I don’t buy it.

I grief to tell the pig the window wasn’t working, but he kept acting confused, so I tried to open the door, and that MFer kicked shut. I was about to get out of the car, but the female kept asking to me relax because she was scared. The other pig tried to defend their position and apologized.

D-Moore is the only guy can that can play both 4-3 end and 3-4 end and also lineup at OLB, J Jones is too weak against the run, he’s okay if you got a beast team that will be putting points on board, then you can ask the guy to just rush the passer every down, Star won’t help our sack numbers, Mingo is basically wimbley 2.0. Werner is too weak against the run and doesn’t beat double teams like Moore

I liked Hue and Cable.
They also had Michael Bush to run the ball.
No one can argue that Bush was more durable and as a result more effective than Dmac.
I am much more of a supporter of the banging type power running scheme.
Bush, Hubbard, Van Eeghan, Wheatley etc.
I think DMAC is an exceptional talent but he goes down pretty quickly with first contact.
Again as both BCZ and Autumn Wind have stated, Bush leaving was a zero hit to the cap.
Reggie wanted to keep him but could not afford him.
DMAC has a huge contract with a big cap hit.
We tried to make it work.
Same with Seymour.
There is just so much dead money we could afford.

RGIII is going to have a short career. His already redone knee is being redone again with a ligament from the other leg. So, he will have surgery wounds on both legs. If the last one didn’t hold up, one wonders how they will anchor the new ligament (involves drilling holes in the bone). He was an idiot for playing on the rebuilt knee. This surgery works well for normal folks but athletes are a different story. He better save his cash.

My brother-in-law’s older brother was a cop in Costa Mesa. Retired a few years ago. He’s a Grade-A douchebag with an inferiority complex who cheats at golf and treats his lovely wife (seriously, I have no idea how he bagged that) like sh!t. I never would’ve wanted to be pulled over by that guy, and I never would want to owe that guy a favor.
As far as general experience, about 1/3 of the cops who have pulled me over or questioned me were a$$holes of one kind or another. They definitely take advantage of their authority, and I suspect the authority and the vagaries of the job tend to bring out the worst in them.

And why are you just lumping all military as risking their lives? My brother sits in an office in khaki’s.
You want to do apples to apples, compare say a 101st airborne overseas with a SWAT officer in South Chicago.
Comparing some police officer in Marin to a Navy Seal is just as inaccurate as comparing an Air Force nurse with OPD.

My uncle is an Alameda county sheriff, my brother is in the Navy.
My brother has BY FAR the easier job.

Navy is like the Firefighers of the armed forces.
>> i served in the seabees in the Navy in iraq with marines. calling the navy EASY is not correct. go build 50 SWA huts in a combat outpost with people mortaring you. or convoy to fix a blown up bridge. Navy is damn difficult. be a guy working the flight deck on a ship for 12 hours a day. its not easy. being away from your family for 18 months. cops go home every night. being a cop is a JOB, being in the military is a complete change in life. it doesn’t compare.

Speaking of military, anyone else psyched about drones? I can’t wait to see those little rascals being deployed domestically (freeway monitoring, high speed chases, raids). It would almost be worth sending a few to Tea Party territory, just to see some faux Minutemen sh!t themselves at the sight!
January 9th, 2013 at 10:49 am
From what I see at least. I have an appt with a cop, you never know if he can make it, might be doing an arrest, or serving a warrant, answer a ransom call.
============================================
Might be kicking down the wrong door with a swat team shooting a dog and making the 6 yr old kid sit by the dead dog while they keep searching the house even though they know they are at the wrong address.
Then after that traumatic experience no one, even the judge is held accountable for serving the warrent on the wrong house and shooting the dog and traumatizing innocent children.
Fvck the POLICE!!
If the jobs too hard find something else to do.

—-
Spot on. He has the base and strength to be a 3-4 DE.
————————————————
I think Shaugnessy is a great fit as a 4-3 LDE where he can match-up with slower RT’s in the passing game and use his size and strength to hold the edge on run plays, I would love to re-sign him to play that position
I said let him walk if we go 3-4 because then Houston and Bryant would likely start at DE and I think Shaughnessy, while not breaking the bank, is going to command starter’s money as a FA and I doubt we can afford to pay him as such and have him as a rotational player, but if we can…do it.
January 9th, 2013 at 10:50 am
3-4 DE isnt about making plays.
It about doing your job, taking on your blocks, holding your ground so the other guys can make the plays.

That’s the issue man, to me, both Houston and Shaughnessy are better fits for the 4-3.
Looking at what some of the young, high-motor, pass-rushing DT’s making their mark in the league like Geno Atkins and Henry Melton, I can see Houston having the same kind of impact with a full-time DT role.

ur one of many guys who gets ignored almost all the time. u use my name to try make urself into something.
pathetic.

A practice Squad NT isn’t a sign we’re switching to 3-4. NT’s also have a place in 4-3 lineups. Reggie just loves his practice squad duties.

Given our cap situation some veteran guys will need to restructure or they will go with or without the cap hit.
Guys like Bey and Kelly simply do not play to their contracts.
Free agents like Lechler will have to take less or go.
The best value is draft good players and get them with the rookie cap.
Our existing linebackers get much better with a good Dline so I think DT then DE are a priority.(See what Te’O looked like when his Dline got pushed back).
Shaugnessy will be out of the NFL next year.
There is still the nagging problem of Barnes and Carlisle on the Oline.

The big question here is should make our best effort to re-sign Desmond Bryant and or Matt Shaghnessy and can we afford to?.
========================================================
I’d say definitely on Bryant. Shonasty an enigma. After year one, those supposedly in the know said watch out for this kid next year and he did start out well for what? 3 games before the injury? Last year he was average which makes him a keeper comparatively speaking. Guess that’s why Reggie’s getting the big bucks, making the money calls.

I’m skeptical of the cap shedding thing. Fine if they get it right then start using the money to get FA’s, but not if it ends up just funding Tommy Boy’s whiskey fueled cocaine binges.
Sure Al’s way of pushing everything till next year put us in the situation we’re in now, but it never really stopped him from making signings. His problem was just bad choices in signings.
I don’t see a point in settling debt when there’s no one comming to collect it. Why not just endlessly push till next year every year?
January 9th, 2013 at 11:25 am
hopefully the Queefs take Geno instead of Joeckel at 1. then the Jags take jarvis jones? if the LT is there at 3 OAK can trade down easier. Rams look like a partner OR even the cards. rams have a 16th and 22nd picks. would nice.

Well we did use him a lot from the Slot and on Blitz, also at saftey so to say we just used him at Corner is false, but that’s where he was best at. His problem in Oakland was self admited in an interview he did 2 years ago where he said he was imature in Oakland. In Green Bay, aside from a chip on his shoulder, he said there was nothing to do in terms of night life so it kinda settled him down.

JFB,
So what credentials/schooling/training is needed to become a firefighter? Is it light the electricians union. ‘You need to know someone’ or be a firefighters kid?
************************************
EMT’s are a lot different, and to make Chiefs and Battalion chiefs you typically need a fire science degree (A.S.).
I also think different states have different rules, but in New Mexico, you have to be 18, with a HSD/GED, no criminal record and pass the academy.
Basically, it is harder to get a job in the planning department.

yes, they were dogs. and anyone who “enjoys” watching animals suffer has a serious psychological problem. it’s one of the first signs of serial killers. it’s heinous and shows he has no “empathy” for other living things. empathy is when u understand what another being is going thru and it hurts to know they’re hurting. when u stare dead-eyed at another living creature while it’s tortured, or worse yet, laugh and party while ur betting on the outcome, u have something dead inside u. God tells us we should be humane to animals. to do otherwise is evil.
too many kids from the ‘hood with no empathy cuz they’ve been numbed to violence and suffering. it’s horrific.

The cap shedding philosophy is in place only because we have very few players on the roster earning their bloated contracts.
Reggie is simply looking at film and production and comparing what we are paying for what we are getting relative to what our competition is paying.
As Reggie said; “We have some contracts that are way out of whack”.
If we had seven all pro’s and we were 12-4 being $5 million over the cap is tolerable.
RELATIVE TO OUR ON FIELD TALENT WE OUGHT TO BE ABOUT $20 MILLION UNDER THE CAP AT THIS TIME.
Many of you also opined the last few years that we had too many old Raiders on the staff and we needed a fresh perspective so we could “implement up to date schemes”.
Be careful what you ask for. You got it.
Fresh perspective from the Saints, Broncos, Packers, Stanford and the Texans mean nothing if your talent is way below NFL standards.

Of the NT’s, I think there is some value with Jon Jenkins from Georgia.
Weight and off the field issues will knock down his draft stock, but if we could get him in the 4th round, that would be awesome.

You mean Zach Miller?? The guy JaMarcus made a star out of and helped get paid in Seattle? Miller should be sending 10% of his game check to JaMarcus every week. Not that JR needs it though.

IF our new OC is one to get the most out of the players then the following could happen:
-DMAC has a resurgence in production
-Somehow Reggie gets a solid #1 receiver. It can be done. I don’t buy that it can’t.
-With a #1 to throw too and Streator emerging, he has more targets who can catch the ball and make plays.
Defense:
-Last quarter of season unit was # 3 in the league in overall D. That trend needs to continue and with the # 3 pick most likely coming to help it only gets better.
There. Fixed. 12-4.
^^^^^^^^
The defense being good the last quarter of the season is mis leading.
They shut out a team that was slightly worse in the Chiefs. That means nothing IMO. The Chiefs could have scored some FG’s at least in that game. They had no QB and their best WR was out.
—
That was one game though. The D did well against Carolina, SD and Denver too.
Obviously, i’m trying to be optimistic but I think too often we always look at worst case scenario with everything Raiders…which is understandable…I do it often myself.
We always expect the worst; cuz that’s what we always get it seems.

true enuff. but how about yards pr attempt? that’s my actual favorite qb stat. it’s simple. tell me how many yards i’m gonna get if i throw it 20 times with qb A versus qb B. very simple.
culpepper would get me 152 yards.
pennington would get me 144 yards.
elway would get me 142 yards.
elway was seen as a disappointment by many, including dan reeves. many wr’s said he threw too hard when he didn’t have to, showing off his arm strength and resulting in the “elway cross”, a mark on their bodies in the shape of the seams of the ball. shanahan, and his running game, helped elway become a “legend”.

1983 NFL Draft – Rumored John Elway/#1 Pick Trades
Before the 1983 NFL draft, John Elway told the Baltimore Colts (owners of the NFL’s #1 pick) not to select him. That’s because Elway wanted to play for a team located on the west coast, and if he was selected by the Colts, he insinuated he might abandon football, and pursuit a career in baseball. In the end the Colts selected Elway, but soon after traded him to the Denver Broncos. The rest is history.
With Elway’s strong statements before the draft, it appeared to the major media that the Colts would trade the #1 pick, thus trading the rights to select Elway. The Los Angeles Raiders and San Diego Chargers were two teams mentioned as likely candidates to win the Elway sweepstakes.
The San Diego Chargers owned three picks in the first round, and were having difficulty signing All-Pro QB Dan Fouts to a new contract. The Raiders had a solid veteran QB in Jim Plunkett, but Al Davis always liked to make a splash at the draft.
The Baltimore Colts were willing to trade the #1 pick/Elway to the San Diego Chargers for all three of the Chargers first round picks, but the Chargers were unwilling to give up the 5th overall selection. Perhaps if the Chargers hadn’t signed Dan Fouts to a new contract the night before, the Chargers might have been more willing to give up that 5th overall pick.
There were a number of different rumored trade offers from the Raiders. One scenario stated the Raiders were offering a number of top picks in the 1983 and 1984 drafts, as well as former first round selection QB Marc Wilson. Another rumor mentioned that the Raiders would consider trading future Hall of Famer RB Marcus Allen. Lastly it was also rumored that the Raiders were attempting to attain first round selections, in order to trade them for Elway. Reportedly the Raiders were offering RB Kenny King, G Mickey Marvin, and future Hall of Fame DE Howie Long, to the Chicago Bears (6th pick) or the Philadelphia Eagles (8th) pick.
The Dallas Cowboys were also rumored as being interested in Elway. It was rumored that the Cowboys offered the Colts their top selection in the 1983 draft (23rd overall), and a number of veteran players, possibly including QB Danny White, and DT Randy White.
Lastly despite Elway’s request to play for a team on the west coast, the New England Patriots were supposedly highly interested in selecting Elway. It was rumored that the Patriots would offer the Colts, their first round selections in 1983, 84, and 85, as well as a veteran player or another top selection.
In the end the Denver Broncos were truly the dark horse candidate to get John Elway, and made out the best.
In hindsight the Chargers should have traded all three first round selections for Elway. The Chargers did pick up three solid players with their picks, with LB Billy Ray Smith, RB Gary Anderson, and DB Gill Byrd. However none of those players had Hall of Fame careers.
The Cowboys also should have offered a bit more for Elway. Although if they did, I’m sure the team wouldn’t have gone through the collapse they did in 1988 and 1989, which ultimately led to the birth of a dynasty. Who knows if it was even nothing more than a remote possibility, but the Patriots also should have made more of an effort to get Elway.
Meanwhile it’s debatable whether the Raiders made the right decision by not trading for Elway. The Raiders would go on to win the Super Bowl in 1983. Without Marcus Allen and/or Howie Long, that probably doesn’t happen. However I’m sure the Raiders would have loved to have had Elway at QB with some of their more talented teams in the early 1990’s.
Lastly the Colts would have been better off taking trade offers from any of the rumored trades, before actually selecting Elway. Once they selected Elway, and he refused to play for them, their bargaining power was reduced significantly. In the end the Colts picked up an unproductive QB in Mark Herrmann, a talented tackle, albeit not a Hall of Famer in Chris Hinton, and a first round selection in the 1984 draft (used on G Ron Solt).

Yeah, it is imperative that McK finds a trade partner to trade down with.
I don’t see many players that a team will trade up to #3 to draft though, unless someone falls in love with a QB or Joekel.
McK might have to accept a 3rd in this years draft and a 2nd in next years draft from a team to trade down….instead of the standard 2nd rounder in this years draft as part of the package.

hopefully the Queefs take Geno instead of Joeckel at 1. then the Jags take jarvis jones? if the LT is there at 3 OAK can trade down easier. Rams look like a partner OR even the cards. rams have a 16th and 22nd picks. would nice.
^^^^^^^
I agree with that. It will a bit easier for McK to trade down if the LT Joekel falls to us at #3.
Some teams may want to move up for him.

proof that qb rating is a great indicator of who the better qb is.
*****************************
On the flip side of that how often is “perception” from media, fans etc. different from what actually is.
I heard Peter King said yesterday that Chicago is a great destination for Bill Cowher HC becuz, among other things “they have a quarterback”. This from the same dikface who was ripping on Carson Palmer for being “done”.
As i’ve noted a few times before Palmers numbers are much better than Cutler’s not only last yr but his entire career, AND Cutler has had the benefit of receivers like Brandon Marshall (a true #1 receiver) to throw to.
That’s what I mean. The “perception” being that Cutler is still this semi-elite QB and Palmer is 45 yr’s old and on his last leg.

i still say you start with star build around him. even if that means another year without a top tier pass rushing end. Moore is a stud and i think he’ll eventually add the bulk to be a 4-3 end but that’s not a given and as a 3-4 olb don’t know if he’ll be able to cover. Star is a sure thing

I never said Super Bowl was the only reason he was great.
Getting to four Super Bowls, winning two of them, #4 in career passing yardage, #4 in career pass completions, #7 in career TD passes, a 148–82–1 career record, and never having less than an 85 rating (your apparent be-all-end-all of QB greatness) during his final six seasons is what made him a better quarterback than Daunte. He did all that despite getting sacked more than any other QB in NFL history except Favre.

Debo has a point about the Raiders not helping or doing Jamarcus any favors. This DOES NOT exclude Russell from all he did and didn’t do but it’s a valid point.
Look at how much $ is being spent on Palmer for his salary. With that much money at stake wouldn’t an org want to do everything in their power to make him successful? Of course they SHOULD.
The Bears with Cutler realize they gave up a kings ransom to get him and they are committed to ensuring he has best chance to win for them.
What do they do? They fire the QB coach and get Cutler’s guy from Denver first off. Then..they fire Martz cuz Cutler doesn’t like him and bring in Tice…who Cutler is comfortable with. Of course Jay complains he doesn’t have a # 1 receiver so what do they do…they go and get him his old buddy from Denver..a true # 1 in Brandon Marshall.
Now…there’s talk Cutler will be in on the meetings to decide who their next HC will be. They wanna make sure “Jay is comfortable” with the decision.
What have they done for the QB of the Oakland Raiders whom they have spent a boatload of $ on?
“Hey, go throw it to that UDFA there who caught 20 passes in college, or that guy there who always drops it, or how about that other guy who was a 5th rd. draft choice out of UT”.
Forget about if Palmer is “a joke” or “he sucks” for aminute. I’m talking about spending a ton of money on a QB and then supporting him half azz.
Can u at least get him ONE #1 receiver to throw the ball to?

The Skins didn’t respect his deep pass, and dudes were wide open down the field all game long.

proof that qb rating is a great indicator of who the better qb is.
*****************************
On the flip side of that how often is “perception” from media, fans etc. different from what actually is.
I heard Peter King said yesterday that Chicago is a great destination for Bill Cowher HC becuz, among other things “they have a quarterback”. This from the same dikface who was ripping on Carson Palmer for being “done”.
As i’ve noted a few times before Palmers numbers are much better than Cutler’s not only last yr but his entire career, AND Cutler has had the benefit of receivers like Brandon Marshall (a true #1 receiver) to throw to.
That’s what I mean. The “perception” being that Cutler is still this semi-elite QB and Palmer is 45 yr’s old and on his last leg.
*************
it’s funny cuz i posted palmer’s being #19 all-time in response to the incredible idiocy in here. and since then, guys keep going off about this qb or that qb being higher rated than an alleged great qb. and i continue to just say look at the facts. i have never said one way or the other that one qb was better or worse. just stated the facts. and they go ape sh!t.
no one has bothered to compare his current season rankings or recent seasons rankings, which i have also posted, to the all-time rankings. the fact is that palmer is average-to-good currently, and most of the highest rated passers in history are playing right now. part of that is the rules, part of it is current offensive style, and part of is better qb’s on the whole.
but guys seem to have all the wrong ideas about who is good and who isn’t and why. ur culer/palmer comparison and so many guys stating how good cutler is is proof. have people watched cutler play? he is very similar to palmer actually. great arm. capable of great throws. bad int’s at times. but cutler has a bad attitude, whereas palmer has a good one.

We’re lucky to get an offer for a 7th round or conditional 5th round pick at best. I’m for giving players second chances, Al would have gave McClain a second chance to redeem himself to the team. In McClain’s case, he should have known that his welcome with the team was on thin ice after the shooting incident. Then stupidly followed up his act with a childish twitter rant and more boorish behavior not to mention half-ass effort at his job. He needs to be cut or traded period.

u were suggesting, rather stupidly, and commonly, that elway winning super bowls made him great, and culpepper not winning super bowls, made him less great.
—————————————-
I never said Super Bowl was the only reason he was great.
Getting to four Super Bowls, winning two of them, #4 in career passing yardage, #4 in career pass completions, #7 in career TD passes, a 148–82–1 career record, and never having less than an 85 rating (your apparent be-all-end-all of QB greatness) during his final six seasons is what made him a better quarterback than Daunte. He did all that despite getting sacked more than any other QB in NFL history except Favre.
I’m looking at the entire body of work. You’re using only QBR.
***********
ur proving my point for me. he had “career” numbers based on longevity. he was pretty good bu not great actually until shanahan and davis arrived. that’s ok cuz he finally had a good running game and a coach who knew how to use him. (which is what us palmer-supporters keep talking about).
he was NOT great until the end of his career. he WAS great then.
culpepper was OUTSTANDING until he got injured. yes, he had good wr’s, but that’s what ur supposed to do with good wr’s. just witness how poor moss and carter played at times thru their careers with lesser qb’s.
pennington was a very accurate thrower who was under appreciated due to playing for so-so teams and not having a big arm, nor huge passing yardage. but he didn’t make a lot of mistakes. a good team could have won with him.

A to Z,
in case you’re still around, you wanted the 1st round trade scenario explained.
The Raiders own the #3 overall pick, the Cardinals own the 7th overall pick. Raiders could let the Cardinals move up into the Raiders spot at #3 to draft all-american left tackle Joeckel. The Raiders would slide down to #7 but ask for compensation in return.
The compensation would be the Raiders getting the Cardinals 2nd round pick, while the Cardinals get the Raiders 3rd round pick (they swap).
I think asking straight up for a 2nd round pick would be declined to move up just 4 spots to take a left tackle.

Correct. He became great when they arrived. Just like Troy was great with Emmitt and Jimmy beside him. Just like Young was great with Rice and Seifert. Just like Brady is great with Belichick.
I didn’t exactly notice Daunte Culpepper winning titles with lesser coaching and running backs. Kind of puts a hole in your argument now.

I think what RGIII is proving and I said this earlier this year, you better have 3 of those running QBs on your roster cause they are going to get hurt. And not just ripped up knees.
Like in college where (sustained) success is largely due to the system backed up with solid recruiting/talent replacement.
But with the concussion rules getting stricter (and they will-trust me) guys are going to need to be more replaceable without tossing your pro franchise to the trash heap.
It won’t be long before some pro team realizes this and prepares for the future…

It’s about value in the draft, IMO.
Do you want a guy like ANY of these DE’s that you aren’t even sure is the 1st or 4th best prospect at his position, or the unmolested #1 overall pick at his position, Warmack.
Plus, as bad as we need pass-rushers, you can argue we need guards just as bad.
Warmack or Werner-Moore-Jones HAS TO BE the pick.
And I would lean towards Warmack.

I still say you have got to take a long look at Star for the first round. I would trade down if we could get two first round picks, but that’s not likely. Maybe, down the road, we can pick up RGIII as a reclamation project — two reconstructive surgeries on the same knee in four years – that doesn’t sound too good!

If by “REALLY worked out” means making the difference between winning the division, the conference, etc. and not, then a big “NO.”
I maintain that for as good as Seabass has become (note the “has become”) he was a horrid disappointment for a first round pick and all that money. He was picked because AL was foolish enough to think that because of the success of the preceding season, all needed was a field goal kicker with a big leg.
He got that kicker while not using the pick for something else we needed and by paying top dollar for him. Turned out the kicker was immature, didn’t take care of himself, got cellulitis, was hospitalized, went through crazy periods of inaccuracy, etc. Now, his failures in kicking wouldn’t have been enough to categorize him as a loser of a field goal kicker those first seasons (although he did miss field goals under 45 yards that drove people crazy, sometimes hooked, sometimes pushed), but his selection as our first round choice was a loser of a choice.
We had a chance to get a difference maker that played every down on at least one side of the ball, and instead Al chose a kicker. The choice still has made no difference in our ultimate place in the standings.

It’s a luxury in todays NFL.
DRAFT OFFENSE REGGIE!

Talking about players that were drafted at least 10 years ago makes the point.We can’t ignore a player at a certain position because the last player taken at that position didn’t work out.
January 9th, 2013 at 2:47 pm
And when do top-pick guards flop?
I am sure there are some, but I don’t remember many top 15ish Guards being drafted, and the ones I remember are Iupati and Hutchinson.

I said at the begining they should’ve just cut him. Takes away from the message you’re trying to send to everyone else by desperatly trying to get something from him.
============================================
McClain had not seen the field for a month prior to the seasons end, and won’t be in silver and black ever again. I think that’s a good message. And they are also trying to get something, anything, for that turd. I think that is also a good message that the org is not emotional, and they are doing anything they can to improve the team. Remember, after McClain got arrested, it was Jackson who let him play the next game in Miami. Where he sucked.
———
I only have a problem with McClain’s play. I don’t really care for his legal troubles. But he was lazy. They should’ve just cut him and the message would’ve been, “We don’t care who you are”. No one was going to offer anything great for a player they know will be released.

Warmack moved up on my draft board; still think we need to draft a pass rusher; Moore, Jones, or Werner; however if Reggie moves back to get more draft picks drafts Warmack with the 6th-8th overall pick; that would be a major upgrade to our Oline; especially if we were to move Wisniewski back to LG:
OLine
Vehldeer Wisniewski new center Warmack new RT,
with Nix, Barnes, and Bergstrom as backups
January 9th, 2013 at 2:50 pm
I know that he couldn’t…or didn’t block well, but I long for the days of a Todd Christiansen, you know, the days when the Raiders had receivers/tight ends, who really could and DID catch the ball, even when the ball was off target.
I was spoiled by the likes of watching Freddie B. and tight ends like Chester, Caspar, and Christiansen.
I never imagined we’d have the likes of Jett, Porter(what a waste of talent), DHB, Murphy, etc.
January 9th, 2013 at 2:50 pm
Try to keep the draft picks in the modern era.
Don Mosebar…you guys are too funny.
I’d say Woodson is close. But we squandered that opp (so did Walt Coleman) but that guy got torched a lot for my taste and he’s gone.
Nnamdi was swell, but couldn’t exactly build a team around him.
So have ANY of our top 10 picks of the last decade+ of futility worked out? McFragile is it huh? F*k!!!

Personally I gave McClain about a C- his rookie year. Which would have been barely acceptable if he was a 5th rounder but not the overall 8. So his second season I was on his play, and he really never improved. Some of that probably is his off field activities and overall demeanor. At which point I say, do whatever you want McClain, you are just not doing it here.

Thats what we would hope. But theres no QB worth taking #1. I see KC taking Joeckel and not looking back. If you cant get the franchise QB, you go and get the next best thing; the man that will protect him. Joeckel #1 to KC. I think its Jaguars who will determine what we do, way more than KC, because I think both the Jags and ourselves will be targeting the same defensive players to a degree.

“IMHO,THE POLICE HAD TO KNOW WHO THEY WERE DEALING WITH B4 THEY PULL’D HIM OVER.DO THEY REALLY PULL “ADULTS” OVER FOR TINTED WINDOWS ?”
The cop probably did know who he was because it’s a small town and someone on a thread said McClain’s plates announced who he was (don’t know if that’s accurate, though), but I can say that in my town it’s common to get pulled over and ticketed for windows that are too dark because of the gang violence that exists. Plus, it’s a way to fill empty city coffers.

Raiders would still suck next year but at least will have built the Line. draft a Franchise QB in 14. barret Jones would be the franchise center for 12 years.

Pssstt.. having a good offense brings your defensive stats up too… teams throw their playbooks out when behind.

Yep, I know what youre saying. Its just not happening this year. Who are the top QBs this year:
Geno Smith, West Virginia
Matt Barkley, USC
Tyler Wilson, Arkansas, Jr.
EJ Manuel, Florida St.
Aaron Murray, Georgia, Jr.
Landry Jones, Oklahoma
Tyler Bray, Tennessee, Jr.
Ryan Nassib, Syracuse
Mike Glennon, North Carolina St.
Zac Dysert, Miami(OH)
KC is not spending the #1 pick on any of these guys, no matter how much we would love it.
I think its more likely that they try to swing a trade for a QB like Flynn, instead of taking their chances on any of these guys in the 1st. Im gonna keep my money on Joeckel to go #1.
But if youre right, and KC picks ANY QB #1, I’ll be happy. Because they would have blown the pick BIG TIME.

Vick and Reid are quite close I hear, and Vick does know the offense which sound like a good fit and start for Reid in KC and he wont have to spend much on Vick and they can draft their qb of the future in the 2nd or next year if Vick flops or gets injured.

+1. Seattles is one of the most balanced teams in the league offensive/defensive. When that offense is rollin, especially with Beast Mode and since they installed some read option to get Russell movement, theyve been pretty tough to stop. Over the 2nd half of the season, their offense has been VERY fluid.

Every QB need “protection” to be great without you may be pretty good but when it counts more times than not your qb will fail with bad oline play. Big Ben is the exception too this rule but he had a great D to carry the team.

Too a point this can be true. But Vick changed his game and became more of a pocket passer. He became more effective as a QB last year.
I do agree with you on running QBs. The wave of the future will get you 6-12 months of rehab. That style of play won’t fly for the long term. Not when you are 215 lbs and getting blasted. I don’t see RGIII being the same again. He’s either going to keep playing his style and get killed or the coaches are going to force him to change his game. And he might just have to because his knee is never going to be the same.

^^^^^^^
I agree with that. It will a bit easier for McK to trade down if the LT Joekel falls to us at #3.
Some teams may want to move up for him. have to find desperate teams or teams with ammo like Rams and Fins.
Rams need OLine help.

Thats how I see it. Reid isnt going to leave his things to the O-line again. Joeckel is looking real attractive to him right about now. Especially with Branden Albert getting ready to walk. Id actually be willing to bet that Reid even thinks he could get some production out of Cassell or Quinn before he would ignore the O-line in his new job. I just dont see KC passing Joeckel up. And if they did, for some odd reason, Jacksonville then becomes the attractive trade partner, not us. Im just hoping that Reggie gets the pick right, because at #3, regardless of what KC or Jags do, there WILL be an elite defensive prospect available for us. Reggie better not let his gut make a dumb @ss draft decision.

Manning and Brady have both missed signifigant time because of injuries as have our own CP3 and Drew Brees so that argument is kinda lame. BTW Steve Young Ran alot and I dont remember him having many injuries.
January 9th, 2013 at 4:10 pm
Where would Seattle be without that #1 D giving them the ball back repeatedly? Not very good imo they remind me of DEN last year except RW is better than Tebow, and now that DEN has a real qb to go with that D look at them now.
>>>>
There is always an exception to every rule, and yes, Sea (and SF) are getting by mostly with defense right now (as did Den before Manning showed up).
But when you see a stat that ALL eight teams still alive are averaging a full TD a game more than the Raiders, I just don’t see how sacks can make that much difference next year.
Yes, our defense is horrible, and its tempting to start attacking it now, but I still think the QUICKEST fix is offense. Its been ten years since I’ve watched a playoff game.
Allen and McK need to do something QUICK to get us back there… even if its one and done. I simply don’t think that can be achieved with defense.

I think there’s some truth to Mark making the call on Hue, about him wanting to get rid of everyone who didn’t respect him. Either way can’t put all the blame on Hue for the Trade. It’s also on the People let a Rookie HC become his own GM
^^^^^^^
Blame Hue for the trade yes….but we will never know the true value of the trade since Hue wasn’t around to work with CP for a full year in his system that had an efficient running game.
We also don’t know who the Raiders would haev picked with that 1st rounder last year and if he would have produced. Don’t know the same thing about this years 2nd rounder either.

Don’t think the Raiders are going to go with the quick fix.
That ship was sitting at the harbor all gassed up last year and they let it sail.
HAVE to fix the D. The O will be better simply with Knapp gone. The pieces of a good maybe even REALLY good O are there. Cannot believe how bad they $#it the bed on that this season…
Need some WRs who can catch though…

January 9th, 2013 at 4:29 pm
I have to comment on this romac article.
In know way do i want to excuse the behavior of this young man, he is however clearly a deeply troubled person.
I feel that romac is a cautionary tale for all black people, as the trappings of his upbringing and the conditions he faced have produced this result. While it is easy to point the dirty end of the stick at romac fro the way he has handled himself in his young manhood, it is fair to consider that a person that has been through what he has may have a difficult time making rational decisions. In Fact based on the incidents with guns and violence he has been involved going back to his bama days, it is safe to say that if not for being a famous football player romac would be in or headed fro prison.
Romac shows all of the signs of mental illness. This is rampant in our community. Unfortunately because he is such a high profile person, his story is a spectacle. However you can go into any so called hood and find young men suffering from the same illness and facing similar circumstances in their formative years, and there after.
Violence, and a clear pattern of being disconnected with his own reality, are sure signs of post slavery syndrome.
We must find a way to educate our own youth so that we may have young men like romac serve as viable warriors and not the frankenstein’s monsters nearly 500 years of slavery have sought to make us.
This is the result of having your captors name, celebrating his holidays, worshiping his gods, eating his diet, and so on. This is what happens when a person has lost the knowledge of self. A person that has lost the knowledge of self is susceptible to living the life of a savage or cave man.
This is sadly also the way we are often characterized inn the media, as a tragic story of this magnitude is made to represent all black males.
Look at this picture, it shows romac on fire with violence and rage screaming wildly while holding his genitalia. The classic brute image.
I wish him well and hope he can find one of our many clinical specialist in the mental health field. You can only counter the effort to produce this result with countering so called amerikkkan culture all together.
romac is a cuationary tale that should be shared with every black youth especially those in sports

We can improve the line, we can improve at WR, yes, but I just really feel that this offense is a good OC away from being a force. Just too many speed mismatches.

Not if they are running. If a Q is scrambling he gets protection per league rules. If a Q is acting like a RB, he is NOT afforded that luxury. You can take shots at them. And those are good rules. RB’s are built differently than Q’s. And as I have said 2,000 times in here, do you really want Tom Brady, Aaron Rogers, or Russell Wilson pretending to be Marshawn Lynch out there?

whats funny is IF the Raiders were to draft white Johnny Football I’d be on here condemning the “wave of the future” like i do now. its a crap offense and that shortens QB life spans. this is the best era to be a pocket passer by far. rules have been tilted toward the QB completely. pocket passing is the wave of the future more than ever before.
January 9th, 2013 at 4:55 pm
Ill give my thoughts on Pryor, Keep doing what your doing, work on that footwork and get into that playbook as soon as a OC is hired. TP will be fine with another year behind Carson and see if he can beat Carson out in 2014.
January 9th, 2013 at 4:55 pm
—————-
Warmack is projected as a top 15 pick while Barret jones is slated at the moment to go anywhere from the late first to earlt third. would have to aquire a 2nd round pick to get jones imo.
>. WOW thats money. those guys know how to win games and are used to being winners. trade down Rm.

One of my favorite GM stories is one of the major GM’s signed his lst round pick, and with the press and bright lights they were all smiles and happiness. Once the kid signed the contract, the GM looked him square in the face and said, “it’s my top job now to get someone better than you.”

Read Pryor’s transcript, the kid certainly thinks he is one of the leaders on the team. I like the “take it on” attitude, but I dont know if he has earned the right to talk like that…let him compete for a starting spot!

All we can do is wait and see, but I think he can do it and I’m pulling for him hard, its just something I see in him. I love his passion for the game and it seems real and with Carson helping him at every turn I think 2014 will be special for him.

Romac….tsk ….tsk
I find it awfully interesting that romac writes f-u on a ticket and goes to jail.
yet jerry sandusky can be investigated by the d.a office and not even be charged. jeffry dahmer had a 13 year old loation male victim escape beaten up and bleeding from his rectum. The bot was found by police, and RETURNED TO DAHMER!!! The police went into dahmers home, and dahmer told them that the 13 year old was his boyfriend and they were just in a lover quarrel. The police left the boy and we know what happned next.
It really doesnt matter that romac is an athlete, law enforcement will sees him as other than human. It is too bad no one has taught romac how o deal with the police in a way that will ensure his survival. If he wasnt a famous football player, he wouldnt have gotten off with just being arrested either.
Romacs story is a cautionary tale.
law enforcment history in amerikkka goes back to slave catchers. Slave catchers were the first organized law enforcement groups. look up the history of the texas rangers if you dont believe it.

January 9th, 2013 at 5:19 pm
Can’t judge Pryor’s throwing on one game. It is not unusual for a young QB to put too much “touch” on passes when the nerves are all fired up and it’s been two years since you played a game.
I’ll take the wait and see stance. Hopefully he throws more like CKaepernick and less like Russell Wilson…
January 9th, 2013 at 5:21 pm
Once again, East.
The Lakers sucks. Been saying it since last year. No newsflashes hear.
Ws are fun to watch but they won’t go anywhere with no post game. I hope you’re not being delusional. I suppose when you have been a perennial lottery pick type team, I can see how you would be excited about what you guys are doing.
Congrats.

I also seen a lot of guy with lessor arms go REAL far in the bigs with less than spectacular arms. Joe Montana and Rich Gannon come to mind.
QB needs to have a lot of things not just a big arm. Pryor could still marinate a little longer, I just wish he’d play some WR while he waits for a QB job to open up.

Russell Wilson owes America an apology.
His manipulative shenanigans have taken him this far and they will ultimately prove to be his undoing.
He and “Carroll the Clown” have put on quite a magic show all season long, but Wilson’s cheap parlor tricks will no longer carry the day.
No spin from the so called “experts” will be able to stop Matty Ice and his far superior arm strength and ability.
It’ll be high noon at the Ok Corral when the young spinmeister and his travelling circus arrive in the Georgia Dome where a day of reckoning shall settle all scores.
No matter what tricks the young charlatan uses against the Falcons, the curtain will close and the charade will end..mercifully for those of us who have been forced to watch this 3 ring freak show.
Young Mr. Wilson needs to humbly accept his fate and own up to this farce. His antics have gone on far enough and a nation is weaker because of it.
January 9th, 2013 at 5:40 pm
EOR, I don’t think anyone was arguing that horrific injuries don’t happen ANYWHERE on a football field to ANY player. Just that your QB WILL take more hits and abuse if he’s flying around.
If you want your QB to run, you have to load your roster with them and be prepared to plug in another one when the starter gets concussed and has to sit a week or two.
Tough to argue about pocket passers and the crazy rules that they have for that these days. Can hardly touch them anymore.
Go W’s!!

>. go watch teddy bridgewater throw from the pocket. THAT is a quarterback with an NFL arm. same with Manziel. Pryor doesn’t have the arm. Bridgewater can sling it

Havent seen this Bridgewater kid yet sounds like a goodin tho.
==============================================
Excellent pro prospect. More of a passer than runner, very accurate.

Got pulled over without a license,cop twisted my arm really hard behind my back.I turned and knocked him the fk out! That cost me a taser shot and jail time.I won at trial.Another time I was on top of a guy smashing his face in,cop put night stick around my throught and lifted me off the ground.Couldnt breath so I elbowed the cok sucker in the nose.Broke his nose pretty good.That cost me 2 taser shots and a night in jail.Once again won at trial due to cop not identifieing himself. Both times good lawyers.Would do it all over again.Fk cops.

Man Andy Reid needs at least one year off, he needs to mourn his kid. I would not hire him now.
=======================================
My feeling exactly. He should get out of Philly, go to the beach and reflect for awhile.

Alex7,
I agree with most of your posts except for your opinion on O-line unimportance, lol.
Do you have a best case scenario for the Raiders in the first round including specific players?
————–
Best case is definitely a trade down because the amount of solid talent throughout round 1, but the lack of absolute-locks up high.
We have so many needs, any of these guys is fine with me:
Geno Smith (one bad bowl game gets too much of the focus around here. Guy tore up a solid Big12 conference), Jarvis Jones, Mingo, Star, Warmack, Milliner, K. Allen.
Those are my guys.

don’t you usually get in trouble for smashing someone’s face in? what happened there?
January 9th, 2013 at 6:02 pm
Macho
you didn’t like Trestman’s results as our OC???
He’s done well as a HC, albeit in a smaller league. Certainly don’t see him as a re-tread though.

J Hill Howard goes back east. Nets, Knicks, Bulls.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:09 pm
Please don’t mention Teddy ‘Bildgewater’ as i’ve just completed my evening meal.
I and no doubt many others cring at the prospect of this huckster entering the NFL.
He is a 7th round draft pick at best when he finally does emerge from the warmth and safety of the University of “Phooeyville”.
Our attention should be affixed on fine young QB’s like Tyler Wilson, Tyler Bray and a fine young man named Colby Cameron out of La. Tech. Colby comes from a fine, wealthy family of much means but has the fire and tenacity not many possess.
Breathtaking arm strength and spectacular evasive ability make him one of the top sleepers in college football today.
He’s able to run the spread wing double I formation to perfection. It will surprise and delight all who have the opportunity to witness it.
Yes, young Colby has overcome much his entire life, but a youth filled with priveledge and stability will put him in good stead moving forward.
Talent starved fans will have their appetites sated by young Colby.

January 9th, 2013 at 6:16 pm
If we pick a QB at #3, with all of the other needs that are glaring us in the face, we will will wind up in the same spot next year, with a QB flat on his a&*( or shell-shocked because he got destroyed the entire season (Couch, Carr). We need picks and we need more pieces to the puzzle — can always pick up a QB through free agency, if need be.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:23 pm
Na, i dont lime trestman, truth be told… I would be really surprised if we go QB with #3 pick… Trade down, get fresh talent in here. The rookie salary cap makes trading top picks easier than before.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:23 pm
Trestman is probably better than Knapp I’m sure. I’m hoping for a smash mouth guy.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:28 pm
Are we waiting for the Packers to hire our o.c? No news? Nothing?
Did Hub Arkush get a promotion for his rumors he dug up on Gruden returning to the Raiders? lol
January 9th, 2013 at 6:30 pm
Trestman came close to being the coach of the raiders not too long ago.
January 9th, 2013 at 6:43 pm
Just checking in, it’s been awhile.
Talked to a hardcore redskins fan today and he said he’d gladly give up a 7th for slo.
Anyway, here’s to hoping the Reg and DA find a solid OC.
Bring back Wylie and Wiz.

Trade down, trade down, trade down.
The whole Rolando McFiasco fiasco wouldn’t have happened if Al would have JUST ONCE, traded back to get a few more picks…

The fiasco would have never happened if we took the athletic freak JPP over the “leader” & “football player” McClain.

The only thing that Russell Wilson has avoided more than injured defenders is culpability for his actions.
His abhorrent attempts to trivilize the game with his tricks and gimmicks have threatened the integrity of a once proud league.
He waves his magic wand and pulls rabbits out of hats, but his little circus sideshow is finally coming to the end of its run.
Matty Ice. “Ice Ice Baby” is the cry from a disillusioned fandom.
The song reminds me of a great musical artist who paved the way for giants like The Beastie Boys and Eminem, and perhaps even the talented Justin Bieber.
Wilsons trickery has been an insult to a Seattle franchise accustomed to appreciating such greats as; Jim Zorn and Steve Largent; who is undoubtedly the best receiver the league has ever seen. Largent helped pave the way for the great receivers of our day. Eric Decker, Jordy Nelson and of course the prolific Wes Welker, who do just honor to the great ones like Fred Biletnikoff, Lance Alworth and who can forget Elroy ‘Crazy Legs’ Hirsch.
No Mr. Wilson. We aren’t buying what you’re selling.
EXPOSED!!!
January 9th, 2013 at 8:31 pm
So happy Russell Wilson is in the playoffs, even happier when he continues and beats the Falcons and hopefully the Niners or Packers in the NFC championship.
the only thing that would make it sweeter would be if he won a Super Bowl over Tom Brady.

Rolando, I would guess, has some mental issues. Just because he’s a pro athlete does not make him special. He has been a total washout and, sadly, will end up broke and dead. He may still have a chance to make the sort of money most of us can only dream about but his attitude is unbelievable. “You know who I am.” So? Your windows are still too dark, you still signed the ticket, “F… y’all” and did not cooperate with police. You’re right. I do know who you are Rolando and you’re going to jail because you’re just a guy named Rolando who might still be a football player. Might still be but right now, you’re arrested and in the back of my cruiser, Rolando.
