Russell gets advice _ from Kiffin
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008 at 3:38 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Quick hits from Wednesday’s practice and media session in preparation for the New Orleans Saints:
– JaMarcus Russell seemed to appreciate the advice, but chances are Al Davis isn’t going to take too kindly to the idea of Lane Kiffin coaching up his former quarterback.
Russell said he talked to Kiffin Monday night.
“He just called and talked to me about their defense, things he would do if he was here,” Russell said. “So nothing’s really changed.”
Kiffin, Russell said, “has got a lot of off-time on his hands, so he would pay attention to the defense I would have to go up against, (he) leaves me a text message or a voice mail here or there.”
– Defensive end Derrick Burgess re-injured a triceps strain Monday and did not practice. He was the only Raiders player to miss practice entirely. Linebacker Isaiah Ekejiuba (shoulder), running back Darren McFadden (toe) and tight end Ben Troupe (foot) were limited.
Those who practiced without restrictions included cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha (elbow), running back Justin Fargas (groin) and guard Cooper Carlisle (ankle).
McFadden said he had a “protective shield” on his foot, but said he felt much better than last week and noted, “I can do a lot more than what I’ve been doing.”
– The Saints held a potent Minnesota running attack featuring Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor to 44 yards on 26 carries, which means the Raiders will need both McFadden and Fargas at full strength.
“They’re playing really good at the line of scrimmage, and you’ve got three linebackers who are veterans,” coach Tom Cable said. “I think they’re fitting the run with more discpline, people are staying in their gaps with more integrity and they’re getting some good play out of their safeties.”
– Then again, maybe the Vikings weren’t persistent enough Cable hinted.
“When you really sit down and watch Monday, night, you see that Minnesota went in there to throw the football,” Cable said.
– Making Ekejiuba limited, Cable said, was a precuation. Given that the Raiders face the league’s most explosive return specialist in Reggie Bush, they’ll need Ekejiuba.
Bush has three punt returns for touchdowns, including 71- and 64-yard touchdowns Monday night against the Vikings. Bush had five punt returns for 176 yards and was the first player since 2004 to have two punt returns for touchdowns in a game.
The Raiders faced a similar challenge last season in Chicago’s Devin Hester, with Kiffin boldly proclaiming during the week the Raiders would kick to him rather than out of bounds.
Said Cable: I know this _ Bush isa heck of a football player and you’ve got to respect that . . . we’ll play the game on Sunday and we’ll kick the football and we’ll go do what we can do. That’s all we can do.”
Ekejiuba watched Bush Monday night with interest.
“The whole world has seen what he can do,” Ekejiuba said. “Everybody watches Monday Night Football. Now you’re the next team that’s coming in and there’s going to be a lot of talk about Reggie Bush and what he brings to the table, which is a lot. You don’t want to be the next team that’s on Reggie Bush’s highlight. So you want to come in this week and really focus on him.”
– Hester had six punt returns for 14 yards and two kickoff returns for 34 against the Raiders last year.
“We took a stand last year and said, ‘Alright, we’re going to kick to this guy.’ And that’s what we did,”’ Ekejiuba said. “We kicked to him and we went down and covered the kick. It’s a big statement to make if you’re going to kick to somebody like that.”
– The Saints provide difficult matchups for both of Oakland’s tackles, with right tackle Cornell Green getting Charles Grant and left tackle Kwame Harris drawing Will Smith.
Cable said thought Harris would be better than he was in his return effort against San Diego. Harris was injured in the opener against Denver and gave way to Mario Henderson against San Diego and Buffalo.
“(Kwame) was playing really well in the preseason and he plays really well in the first game, then he gets injured. He was just getting where his habits were what they need to be in our system. Then, all of a sudden, he’s out for two weeks,” Cable said. “You look at it and, today was the first day where I said to him, ‘You’re back. You look like you did going into that first game.’ The expectations are very high. He and Cornell both have big matchups this week with their two defensive ends.”
– Cable’s message this week?
“What’s done is done. From everything that happened last week to the first four games of the season, the first quarter of the season is over,” Cable said. “We have three quarters to play. All we can do is worry about Sunday and trying to get on an airplane in New Orleans and coming back to Oakland 1-0. That’s the whole message.”
– The Saints put place kicker Martin Gramatica on injured reserve and signed Tyler Mehlhaff.
– For the record, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the Raiders had not received any sort of letter from the NFL regarding Davis’ statements about New England tampering with Randy Moss, and that the league had not been notified as of yet regarding a grievance from Kiffin.

finally thanx Jerry!
October 8th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
OH MAN!!
October 8th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Thanks for the update Jerry!
October 8th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
The league don’t want none of big Al
October 8th, 2008 at 3:50 pm
3rd
October 8th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Yeehoooo rundmc will be ready by sunday…..and wait till the saints get a load of the human crash dummy in fargas, then a little bit more bruising by bush, we should be able to wear the defense down with 6 pairs of fresh legs
October 8th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Oh btw…….6th!!!!!!!! Im getting closer to the top baby!!!!!!
October 8th, 2008 at 3:56 pm

October 8th, 2008 at 3:56 pm
At this point, I think I’d rather have Super-Mario than Lame Harris. Hopefully, he’ll prove me wrong.
October 8th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
sure happy that fargas is back
October 8th, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Yeah mario was doing great id like to seee him more…..if harris gives up the backside again like he did last week he needs to be pulled
October 8th, 2008 at 4:00 pm
We need our tackles to play like they belong in this league!
October 8th, 2008 at 4:02 pm
I like what I hear from Coach.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
I like that Kiffin is still taking care of his QB… Shows character… Tell me one coach that would do that for any of his players once they got fired the way he did.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Can APES read nation?
October 8th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
WAIT!!!
I thought Kiffin didn’t have anything to do with the defense…
October 8th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
“He just called and talked to me about their defense, things he would do if he was here,” Russell said. “So nothing’s really changed.”
Kiffin, Russell said, “has got a lot of off-time on his hands, so he would pay attention to the defense I would have to go up against, (he) leaves me a text message or a voice mail here or there.”
October 8th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
They are going to need McFadden, but he has to be healthy. Not playing at 75%. He needs to be 90% for me to play him. Otherwise, rest him and get that toe healed up.
No more slipping and sliding on those screen passes
October 8th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Coach sure talks the talk I can’t wait to see us on sunday, im pumped for this game
October 8th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Nnamdi 21,
I think its about how Russell could attack New Orleans defense. Not how the Raiders defense will play against New Orleans.
Sounds like Kiffin and Russell developed a pretty good relationship. Can’t hurt
October 8th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
Thanks Jerry. Always appreciated!!
October 8th, 2008 at 4:06 pm
21, HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE SAINTS D.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
“What’s done is done. From everything that happened last week to the first four games of the season, the first quarter of the season is over,” Cable said. “We have THREE QUARTERS to play…”
…uh, I hope that was a type-o. The problem with the Raiders this year is that they’ve only played THREE quarters a game.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
—the first quarter of the season is over,” Cable said. “We have three quarters to play.”—
..and we all know the raiders only play 3 quarters.. LOL

Kiffy probably told Russy to keep dinking and dunking away! That day is dead! Knapp will not take a nap on offense, hopefully! Air it out!!
October 8th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Yes, the Vikes have a great front four. Reminds me of Eller, Page, Marshall and Larsen “The Purple People Eaters”.
Saints have Vilma, Fujita at LB and they can stop the run fo’ sho, but I wonder if We could hook up Miller and even *gulp* Madsen for some TE yardage and scores?
Split DMC out in the slot would spread their wounded secondary.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
well, hopefully the next three quarters will be wins, wins, and more wins!!!
JUST A HOPE…
October 8th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
this would be a great game for Ben Troupe to get healthy..
October 8th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
21 good idea, split D-Mac and run with Fargas
October 8th, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I think Kiffin’s call was a self serving publicity stunt.
If Oaklands passing game does well (Like it should against their dinged up secondary) he can claim a little credit can’t he?
Gross.
Heres the deal, you’ve been fired, stay the **** away from your old job. Its just desperate and a little creepy.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
We should see a ton of man to man since they’ll have 9 in the box to stop the run.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Kiffin:
(Breathlessly)
“You know what Jamarcus? You should tell Cable not to play Walker. I heard Walker sayin’ things about him at lunch time once. Tell him that!”
Jamarcus:
(Bewildered)
“Um, yeah. My Mom says your not suppose to call here anymore.”
October 8th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Sup Yalls. Been awhile.
Last you heard from me was the call that Schilens was a roster lock.
I got two kernels my boy threw me, here they are.
Javon Walker will be a focal point of the passing game in NO. His ham is finally 100% and his attitude is very positive. Look for crisp routes and plenty of seperation against their weak CB’s.
Miller will be condemned to chip blocking and pass protection..
Stay strong NATION. Later
October 8th, 2008 at 4:21 pm

October 8th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Harris, should be able to handle Smith, 1on1. He struggled against the dischargers, because, he was blocking against a smaller and quicker linebacker. Think about it.

=======================================================
Hopefully Russell just hits the OPEN receiver whether he’s the deep 1st option or a dink & dunk safety valve checkdown
October 8th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Raider had great success against the Bills on 3rd and long. On the ground.
No foolin’.
Ran the option with DMC at QB on 3rd and 10 hand off to Bush left side (with Henderson at LT mind you) 17 yds.
BUT that was in the 1st half of the game.
Kiffin FAILED to make or compensate for half time adjustments.
Kiffin had only one game plan. Once it was figured and adjusted to, there was no answer.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:27 pm
Helllllllo! Laaaaaadiez! Said the Spider to the flies. I am so glad to see you girlz using MY blog to post your complaints, your attacks on one another, give coaching advise, etc. Like I said before, you looooozers need a place to console one another and I am happy to provide you with the media. Just remember these 2 things and the sun will always shine for you tomorrow.
1. Admitting that you have a problem (looooozing) is the first step to recovery.
2. Al’s the cat’s meow.
Later laaaaaadies.

=======================================================
Even IF they play they likely won’t be 100% and we happen to have the best cover LB’s in the League.
If anything. Michael Huff has a made a name as a shut down safety when it comes to some of the finest TE’s again, in the League. (Gonzales, Gates, Sheffler)
Not a major concern, but the Vikes really took advantage of TE’s who stayed into block. DB blitzes paid big dividends.

=======================================================
DT Cedrick Ellis is out and Grove has done well against some really good DT’s like SD’s Jamal Williams and the Bills Marcus Stroud.
Where he really is struggling is getting second level.
Alot of run stops come from the LB’s he can’t quite get to.

I hope its not another 2 1st quarter grabs and gone.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:37 pm
Nnamdi21,
He did didn’t he. I just hope he and the guards can provide a pocket for JaMarcus to step into.
The Saints looked strong on the D-line Monday.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
do any of you wonder what monte kiffin and gruden will have in store for us when we play the bucs? We sh!t canned his little boy and especially the way we did it. it will be interesting.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Nnamdi21
The good thing about it is Colston will be on Nnamdi’s side. He may finally get a chance to earn his check. lol
October 8th, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Looks like RG Cooper Carlisle may be back and thats key.

I’m worred about our tackles.

October 8th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
I notice that kiffin hasn’t filed that grievance yet. Makes u wonder.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Wanna bet that, Al has sent Amy Trask to the nearest cell phone store, to get J Russ a new provider & number.
And, how long until Al file a Cease & Desist order on Kiff. To not have ANY contact with ANY employees of, A.D. Football, Inc.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
UK:
Colston exploded last year. 1,200 yds +
The key is to harrass Brees. Easier said than done. Saints led the League last year in protect giving up only 16 sacks, but also led in passing attempts (650+)
Like I said, Db blitzes by the Vikes were effective and Oakland has had success early sending Hall, Routt and Wilson.
Tyon Branch looks like a missle when he comes in on the QB, but he gets chipped by the RB’s too often and his timing isn’t quite there, but whoa, talk about football speed.
It will be interesting to see him play his first NFL game with out one arm tied behind his back.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

The caints only looked strong against the run, because, they had 9 in the box. Russy should see plenty of man to man.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
I’m worried about our tackles as well. It would be nice for the QB to be able to step up.

October 8th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Everybody’s cool with Kiffin except for Davis and his loyal minions. He’s a good coach. Russell knows it. Russell gets his football advice from Kiffin, and goes to Al when he needs more money. That’s the game.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Town Business, let’s just say Gruden will be going to that special little playbook he has. I’ll give you a hint…we used it vs. Pittsburgh in ‘02.
October 8th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
And Gruden’s going to stick with that playbook, no matter their lead. He’s not going to run the ball once. Still doing open backfield, no huddle even when they’re up by 30 in the 4th quarter. It’s AD killa over there after what they did to Lane.

That was a hall of fame game by Gannon.
If not for a blown call by that ref, Gannon would’ve had the siongle game completion record by ALOT.

Chucky and Monte are going to open it up on us, on both sides of the ball. Blitzing all day, and Tampa doesn’t blitz that much. But they will when they play us. Bet you Jam Russ takes himself out of that game. He’s cool with Kiffin. He knows what’s coming. Walter? Hope you’ve got health insurance.

So, if you’re Cable or Knapp… how would you feel about the fired head coach, coaching up your QB?
Kiffin is out of line on this one IMO. There is so much a QB has to memorize and know from what his current coaches are telling him… it’s unbelievable that Kiffin would try and get his two cents in.
If I was Cable, I’d be on the phone with Kiffin letting him know exactly what duties and rights he has regarding the Raiders franchise QB.

October 8th, 2008 at 5:20 pm
MR.
Quit posting as 408
October 8th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Sorry guys I’m out till the troll gets tired.. I dont disrespect my brethren and every1 here knows it so troll away tard…
October 8th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
I can careless if they put 8 in the box, they better tread carefully because if Rundmc is 100% he will break loose….Buffalo was supposed to have this great D they put 8 men in the box and look at how Dmc ran up their hole until he got hurt. and the vikings dont run the zone blocking system that we do, I say they will have a task in stopping our run attack. That is if we are healthy. Fargas will exact vengence sunday
October 8th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
You never really know about a Coach/spk until you see his team perform on the field. But I like what I hear, so far.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:21 pm
You guys, just wanted you to know that all of the previous posts are not me. It’s tard boy, posting as me again . It’s really sad. He has no life at all. All he does is come in here and ruin this blog for us. We should just ignore him. And in fact, I’m going to from here on out. I hope the rest of you do, too.
So, anyway, I do think we should play McFadden. He’s easily one of the top 5 running backs in the league. We have the talent to go 10-6 this year. So we should have all of our horses in there. I’m so in…
October 8th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Thank you, Dirty. He’s so obvious. What’s sad is that he really thinks we don’t know it’s him.
Anyhow, how are things in the 619?
October 8th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
if we get pressure on brees and keep a close eye on bush we will be fine………oops I forgot D.Hall over there damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we better score at least 28 pts
October 8th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
I slapped him around earlier today, he’s melting down now/out.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Hi KoolKell, how are you this evening?
October 8th, 2008 at 5:23 pm
What’d I miss, KK?
October 8th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Im always in!
October 8th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Where’s Bob Marley? I haven’t seen him here in a while. Anyhow, I think he’s one of the smartest Raider fans I’ve ever met. Really sharp.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
10-6? Are you delusional? If the Raiders win eight games this year, I will consider the season a huge success, despite the lunatic owner.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Hi DirtyBathWater. How are you this evening?

We’re all ignoring you now, so just leave, LOSER!

Cool man… About to get off work, go play cards and smoke a blunt
It’s a good way to wind down. I’m not telling you anything you dont know already.

Let’s talk football, guys. Ignore the troll.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
What’s a blunt, El Dirty?
October 8th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
I am not MR. I find it flattering, though. I guess great minds think alike.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
cut it out already tard.. every also knows I dont type that fast! you’re trying to hard…
October 8th, 2008 at 5:27 pm
I asked my mom what a blunt was once when I overheard her talking about it. She said it’s a hairstyle. Are you getting a new hairstyle, El Dirty? That’s cool, man.

October 8th, 2008 at 5:35 pm
when the boy wonder files neither a grievance or lawsuit there are gonna be a lot of people that owe Al an apology.
Tyvon is the real deal, watching him fly down the field as a gunner is amazing. He brings the hammer too, watch out reggie or you’ll be a spirtscenter highlight. Jus fair catch, its for ur own good. Schilens is gonna be a stud, he will be a Plaxico type once he gets an understanding of how to read defenses and gets on the field. Lofton also has him light years ahead of where he was in college in terms of route running, he just needs some fine tuning. He blocks like Hines Ward, I don’t think that I have ever seen a receiver that loves to hit so much.
These two picks are perfect examples of why Al Davis does what he does. He saw the special talent in them and grabbed them. Tyvon was projected, as 2nd rounder and we stole him in the 4th. Nobody had Chaz on their radar and we were able to get him late. Most had written him off as a workout warrior, and thanks to them we were left a diamond in rough and Lofton is polishing that diamond. Just think what Lofton couldve done with Morant.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Dirty i got the PATRON you bring the blunt i got the cards meetb you in p-town for some hold-em
October 8th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
Obviously, everyone, the tard boy has lost it. If you guys want to enjoy his b.s., go right ahead. Again, I’m going to ignore him. Let’s talk football. From now on, it’s football, and nothing else. Alright, guys? Because I’m going to call the mod later and have some of you jerks banned. Albert, I’m looking at you here, moron. Because I know this is you doing all of this.

Severeraider, Al screwed up by firing Kiffin. Everyone knows it. So stop trying to spin it with your b.s. Nobody’s paying attention to you, ya fake thug.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
Nice R8RPAVER I cant leave SD county lines so you will have to wait on that game for a minute.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
I would never apologize to Al Davis. Are you kidding me? Davis owes everyone of us, the ones who aren’t brain dead zombies, an apology for supporting his team over the years while he continues to run it into the ground. I will be a Raider fan until I die, fortunately, though, Davis will die long before me. Maybe then will I see a Raider championship again.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:38 pm
408 things are great man Im giddy for the game this sunday thats all i can say…….oh yeah I got me a new freaking bbq grill its soooooo awsome I cant wait 4 sunday

October 8th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
Anyhow, let’s talk football.
I’m thinking we need to play DMac. This is the most important season in franchise history. We must win. We have to show the world that we never needed LAME Kiffin. We have to win to spite him. I don’t see enough unity in here. Trolls are ruining this place.
October 8th, 2008 at 5:57 pm

——————————————————-
We’ll have to see in the back half if Kiffin was a petty little bish or if he had a point that the team is too young and undisciplined.
After repeated viewings of the games, Oakland is a seriously good football team on the verge of becoming a winning team.
According Al, very little thanks to Kiffin.
October 8th, 2008 at 6:08 pm
I’ll tell you guys what i’m worried about. 5m worried about whichever receiver that lines up un front of D Hall. He has been repeated targrted and torched. That 15 yards off the line crap is not gettin it. And someone tell me please why he is allowed to play that way????? Is it because he is all Pro-Raider in talk and maybe one of Al’s untouchables already? What i remember is all the talkin he did about him and Namdi being the best cornerback tandem in the league. What a joke. He should stop talking and start covering
October 8th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Leftcoast,
I can’t understand why D.Hall has been permitted to play this way after getting torched in week 1. I cannot understand the logic. If he remains playing 15 yds off, then we have to start asking the question about when do we bring Stanford Routt up and move Hall to nickle back.
We better sign Nnamdi in the offseason!1!!!!!!!

October 8th, 2008 at 6:33 pm
I wish J.Russ would use more “pump-fakes” to control the opposing secondary, instead of just taking what they give him. Also, He seems to lock on to a receiver too long, and tends to telegraph where he’s throwing.
I suppose it will come with time, maybe week 14.

October 8th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
LOL, Sad, but true.
October 8th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Hey Jamarcus has had only five NFL starts and has thrown only two interceptions, both of them on screen passes. The saints secondary is weak and he’s going to have a big game, his first NFL game back in the south. As long as we protect him
October 8th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Vegas and how many fumbles or dropped balls? I’m a Russell fan but he has a tough time holding on to the ball…maybe his hands are too small…lol
October 8th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Gannon lived of it,
Brady lived of it,
Manning lives on it.
If we can get Russell to master it……
Superbowl baby!
October 8th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
(off)
October 8th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
He does not protect the ball enough yet, but I think he’ll get it. He’s a little too casual sometimes, but he’s young and will get a quicker release. I really didn’t want to draft him, but he’s been pretty good so far and seems to get better with each start, I’ve been impressed. And I’m not the biggest optimist
October 8th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
oh no not another culpepper with small hands……
i doubt it though.
i hope…..
October 8th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
True, his low interception % is a good start. As soon as he learns to read/control a “D”. He’ll be dangerous.
October 8th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
No his hands are big, he just has to learn how to hold on to the ball
October 8th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
kiffin is getting his revenge by meddling as AD did to him….i love it.
October 8th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
I don’t think AD is going to like those comments from Jamarcus.
October 8th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
I’m gonna rock on to electric avenue…..
October 8th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH WHAT?
October 8th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Bro this could be Kiffins undoing. He is giving advise to the franchise player and we all know it is uninvited by Al Davis. fact is this is stalking, he is no longer an employee of the Raiders and Im sure the league will use this against him. After reading this Kiffin looks more like an escaped psycho from a mental ward. this guy is sick

October 8th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Kiffen has no business giving QB advice when he’s no longer employed. I like how Russell just acts like its no big deal about it. Dude is too cool for school
October 8th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Jerry…great anitode about JaMarcus and Kiffin. From the outside, I suspected that Kiffin had become a mentor and friend to JaMarcus. And based of the antiode relayed by Jerry my suspisions were correct. However, it only makes it more hurtful that Mr. Davis got rid of Kiffin.

FROM NOW ON, I AM OFFICIALLY RETIRING FROM POSTING AS OAKGLENN!!!!!!!!! Thank you all, for your comments both good and bad, and your support. From now on, anyone posting as any of the Oakglenn names is not me!! I consider myself, myself, the luckiest man, man, on the face, face, of the earth, earth!! Thank you and good nite!!!!

October 8th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
He was talking about the saints defense. Man you need to pay attention, or pay your light bill.
October 8th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Thank God oakglenn. Maybe now you can go back to school.
October 8th, 2008 at 7:18 pm

R8rkrazy: You might be the dumbest human on the net…
October 8th, 2008 at 7:20 pm
i believe what i see.
kiffin had JR and didnt play him at all last season.
the falcons and ravens have rookie qbs and threw them right in the mix. you can use the sat out all preseason and schit but for what. midway through the season is as long as the preseason…. so why did we JR start just one game…. regardless kiffin is out and JR is our guy now.
doesnt matter what is said now…. all that is said is already done.
bring on the fahqin saints.

anyone thinking trades for WR Roy Williams, Houshmandzadeh, or even Johnson?
October 8th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
R.A.W., notice how the Raiders are not listed once as a potential fit for any player. That is because coming to the Raiders is like being sucked into a black hole.
October 8th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Albert Bigelow, True, but once again everyone hates the raiders. I personally don’t think oakland was the first place D.Hall wanted to go to, but it wasn’t his choice, and he was desperate to get out of atlanta.
October 8th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
I would trade a third rounder for Ocho Cinco.
October 8th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
STR..
come on man, he said after the draft, that JaMarcus first in ‘08 would secure the starting job, furthermore, Flacco and Ryan was way more ready than JaMarcus, JaMarcus was/is a raw talent, compared to those.. I still think it was the best way to ease him in to position..
October 8th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Kiffin still concerning about JaMarcus, says a lot about how he committed himself to the team, maybe not the franchise, but definitely the team.. all statements from the players also supports this..
October 8th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
i see the saints have replaced martin(can,t kick in the clutch)gramattica with another kicker.i have a sick feeling he might be hitting a game winner late in the game.lets hope i am dead wrong!
October 8th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
the score wont be that close for him to have to kick a game winner….
we will win though…
October 8th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
Ken Bagen: Damn you took the words right out of my keyboard. I was hoping to see Gramatica! Now a new kicker! As Raider fans We know what a new unheard of player usually does to Us. That in the fact that the saints are on a losing streak. Why do we always play these teams that are in desperate situations.
October 8th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
what about us ghost?
arent we in a desperate situation to win? havent we been for a while now?
October 8th, 2008 at 8:45 pm
For those of you saying that AD is going to be upset at Russell for chatting with Kiff…
Russell already has his money. Why should he care what Al Davis thinks? He may be playing for Kiffin again, somewhere else in the league. Oh, he’s not loyal to Al…boo freakin’ hoo. Yes, the same Al who hung him out to dry in his contract negotiations. Davis morons, come on. You guys can do better. Use your f’n brains.

Hi SouthTexasRaider. How are you on this pleasant evening?
October 8th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
No wonder the raider orginization is crumbling.
October 8th, 2008 at 9:18 pm
The Pittsburg ‘02 game was coached by Callahan. Gannon won the MVP that year, set all kinds of records, Gruden is conservative, would never have thrown it that much. We are going to beat Tampa again. They suck and we are good. We are losing because we had no true offensive game plan, and now we have one. Kiffin made us more legitamite for that we thank him. But, he did not win and wanted to coach elswere. We need a Raider coach, who loves being a Raider coach! I don’t care about anyone who is not a Raider coach. Everybody keeeps talking about other teams as if they are threats. We beat ourselves, and when we stop, we will be good again. We are a young team, in time we will be better.
October 8th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Kiff needs to be a professional and stay away. This will hurt his professional image to the league and any organizations. Once you have been let go, you need to let the next group do their thing. Those coaches in there are his friends on the Offense. He needs to respect them just like Cable acknowledged him.
There is no need for him to get involved and undermine Knapp or Cable. Some of you thinks this is great but from a professional standpoint it will diminish his image. We know what Al thinks but I can’t imagine Cable hearing this and feeling great about it.
This kitten really needs to grow up.
October 8th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
It was probably a short conversation:
Kiffin- Jamarcus It is a good thing you got all your money up front.
JR- Yep, tha
