The Weekly Raider: Issue #1

Rated-R Superstar has inspired me to begin a series I like to call The Weekly Raider. The series will include: a Raiders player, their bio, stats, my expectations for them this season, and an overall analysis; my thoughts Raider-wise, and since this is the weekly Raider I'll feature a Raiders fan. Check back each week, you might be my featured fan. So without further ado, The Weekly Raider.
Hello Raiders fans of the world, I present issue #1 of The Weekly Raider. Today's issue will feature our very own Nnamdi Asomugha, my thoughts on the OTA's so far, and of course, our featured fan. So let's get started!
Featured Raider- Nnamdi Asomugha, CB
The pride of the Raider defense, and the pride of the Raiders team as a whole, Nnamdi Asomugha. Nnamdi has went from low-brow corner mysterously taken in the first round, to the best corner in the NFL. Nnamdi can cover litteraly any receiver in the NFL and can get an interception on any play thrown to his isde of the field. He's such a major threat, that QB's hardly ever pass to the man he's covering. (Nnamdi has had the fewest passes attempted on his man in the NFL the past two years)
From Andre Johnson, to Randy Moss, to Steve Smith; Nnamdi covers them all. Easily the smartest corner in the league, he makes up for not being the fastest of corners, by being the most maneuverable and agile. Steve Smith can beat him in a footrace, but Nnamdi has the moves and angles to stay right on the heels of the NFL's fastest.
However, his lack of interceptions the past two years has kept him still unknown to a lot of people. Even with his new prowess as the best corner in Madden and a Pro Bowl appearance, people still scratch thier heads at the name Nnamdi Asomugha. However, with hopefully a fellow skilled corner in Chris Johnson on the field with him this year, Nnamdi might see some more passes, and more interceptions. If you don't believe me, look at how well he covered some of the NFL's best last year.
Week 1: Brandon Stokley- 2 receptions, 25 yards, 0 TD
Week 2: Dwayne Bowe/Tony Gonazales- 11 receptions, 129 yards, 1 TD (Nnamdi covered both at different times)
Week 3: Lee Evans- 4 receptions, 65 yards, 0 TD
Week 4: Chris Chambers/Antonio Gates- 7 receptions, 100 yards, 1 TD (covered both at different times)
Week 5: N/A
Week 6: Deverey Henderson- 2 receptions, 68 yards, 0 TD
Week 7: Laveranues Coles- 4 receptions, 51 yards, 0 TD
Week 8: Derek Mason/Todd Heap- 3 receptions, 20 yards, 0 TD (covered both at different times)
Week 9: Roddy White- 5 receptions, 54 yards, 0 TD
Week 10: Steve Smith- 1 reception, 9 yards, 0 TD. Nnamdi got his lone interception of the year covering Steve Smith.
Week 11: Ted Ginn Jr.- 4 receptions, 51 yards, 0 TD.
Week 12: Brandon Marshall- 4 receptions, 84 yards, 0 TD
Week 13: Dwayne Bowe/Tony Gonzales- 10 receptions, 137 yards, 0 TD (covered both at different times)
Week 14: Malcom Floyd- 1 reception, 19 yards, 0 TD
Week 15: Randy Moss- 5 receptions, 67 yards, 2 TD
Week 16: Andre Johnson- 2 receptions, 19 yards, 0 TD
Week 17: N/A
What do I expect from Nnamdi this year? I expect much of the same of what I saw last year. But I expect about 3 interceptions. I think Chris Johnson will be good enough that QB's will throw a few more passes Nnamdi's way. Nnamdi alos dropped a couple would-be interceptions last year, don't expect that this year.
Nnamdi is definitely the Raiders' leader, on the field and off it.
Random Thoughts- OTA's
OTA's, basically just practice. But practice makes perfect, and right now a lot of Raiders need practice. Mainly JaMarcus Russell.
I know this is only June, but June is only two months from preseason, which is only a few weeks from the regualr season. Russell has been sloppy all offseason and isn't getting much better. he's had a few good moments, but more bad than good. Overthrowing receivers, underthrowing receivers, not getting rid of the ball quick enough, basically he looks like Aaron Brooks out there.
However there is plenty of hope. The O-Linemen can't be as physical, Miller (aka Russell's golden boy) has been out most of the time, and the running game is still going to be our offense's primary weapon. And since OTA's thus far have revolved around situational stuff, Russell's been passing more than he would normally have to. I'm sure Russell will be just fine, but I can't help being a little nervous.
Is it just me, or does the defense sound like it's really good? Once again, I'm aware that the O-Line can't be very physical whatsoever, but people like Alston and Chris Johnson seem like they are going to be very good this year.
Featured Fan- Rated-R Superstar

Yes
Another one of these Great I was getting bored of DLD’s JK. Nnamdi performance was amazing I thing he is the only Raider who I have seen bring it day in and day out that’s why he is great and also Andre Johnson to 2 receptions after having like 17 the previous game. I remember watching ESPN and they said that Andre would have another Monster game considering our weak “Pass Defense” Guess they forgot who was going to cover Andre.
Amazing, Jamarcus Russell hands off to McFadden who pitches it back to Russell who finds Darrius Heyward Bey in the Middle of the Field wide open 30, 20,10,5 Touchdown Raiders! Amazing. This telecast is Brought to you by Cable.

P.S.
the next poll is offense only. I want to do a pattern of offense-defense-offense-defense-etc. And also no rookies at this time as I’m kinda tired of writing about them after all the post-draft stuff.

this is a good idea
I’m really feeling this for keeping us in the football spirit as we wait for this season to start.
Only thing I have to say is that the OTAs are pretty much nowhere near relevant in terms of football performance. More important is the idea that the guys are there to work, and get some concepts out of the way before training camp, where the skills, fundamentals, and principles of the O and D. I’m not worried about errant throws in OTAs, mostly because they’re over reported and we’re not exactly ready for prime time with all of the receivers.

Raided R Superstar,Lol
Thats too funny.This guys Been First on this blog a record 232,967 times out 300,001.Hes blogbashed a record of 459 Raiderhaters on this site alone.His knowledge of Raider everything caused Al Davis to check his Facility for bugs and wire taps.We are mere fans to this Fanatic! As for Mr.Awsome.He’s gonna have a year like last year with other players being force once again to show there capable of lining up opposite of Mr. Awsome.Our Defense should be a little more stout.Mad-Man Mike Mitchell has yet to show up for OTA’s but I got this felling about this this guy that I havent felt since Rod Woodson came aboard.We should have a top 20 defense if we can hold up against the run.As for our Offense ,the same will be the Key factor towards a winning season.The Run! 3 good Backs,1 great and 1 soon to be great FBacks.Somewhat improved O-line for ’09. J-russ back for another Full season.I see us running the ball 60-70% of the time,J-russ losing some of that bust title and us going 9-7 next year and coming up in 2nd in the AFC.

I’m only into politics during elections. And if my candidate wins (which he did) then i don’t follow politics because I’m sure he’ll follow through with his plans. After that I just see how things have gone with his plans then go back to not following.

by samiam2112 on Jun 9, 2009 8:25 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I think he has a point
Once you cast your vote, that’s it. You get no more say so. Oh sure, you can organize letter writing campaigns to Congress or something, but there will be no more impeachments. Presidents have learned from Nixon’s mistakes. They’re too good at covering their tracks. Witness Bush. They impeached Clinton for far less than Bush had ever done (Gitmo alone), but even though the Democrats controlled Congress, they still declined to bring charges because he had a staff smart enough to cover their bases. And so will all future Presidents.
So whether your guy wins or not, whether he follows through with his promises or not, the only thing you get to do is wait 4 years and vote again. Which is why I stopped seeing the point of all the political discussions long ago.

so I you can tell I’m going to be kinda biased for them. But songs like “Girls, Girls, Girls”, “Dr. Feelgood”, “Sticky Sweet”, “Let us Pray”, “Saints of Los Angeles”, “Rattlesnake Shake”, are ones I can always, and I mean always, listen to no matter what my mood is and love it. That something few bands possess for me.
Now let’s get off Motley Crue and talk about Motorhead, now there’s a band.

having two great corners won't matter though
if the other team never has to pass and if they do they can always hit the TE every play. Those are our two biggest weaknesses.

the possibility of Frantz and Mike Mitchell in the middle bringing the NASTY hits and taking out the TE’s and anyone that acrosses the middle it will be an interesting training camp.

I would like to hear more about Michael Mitchell.After watching youtube

his coverage skills.Trust me he will be someone to watch out for.

sorry man
next issue is an offensive player and I said no rookies. I don’t feel like covering them because of how much we talked about them after the draft. A little too much for me. Plus I can’t tell you much about them now that a lot of the usual sites are being cleared of their stats and stuff now that the draft is over. Add in to that, that they haven’t played a down in the NFL. So I can’t fairly judge them.

Nnamdi's speed
I wouldn’t knock his speed at all to be honest. Madden and most people think he isn’t fast because of his height. I forget what he ran coming out of college, but it doesn’t really match how people think of him at all. He isn’t Chris Johnson but Nnamdi has top tier speed among starting corners no question.

Russell
please don’t say he looks like Aaron Brooks out there alot of what you said is bogus. They are making these plays in a lot of ways for the first time this year. Its a joke how far we go to say negative when the positive is its main cause. And Russell looked great this week and last thursday according to Cable “was his best practice as a Raider.” I guess under this logic Matt Wieters for the Orioles is a no hustle poor work ethic guy because he hasn’t hit a home run yet in the majors. Seriously people need to find something else to do then ride the back of our quarterback because he is well….black.
This post was not entirely directed toward Rated-R but the initial tangent was spurred.

dude what the hell?
I most certainly am not Russell-bashing. I’m merely stating that he is looking kinda sloppy out there, and since this was posted before this week’s OTA’s, I’m remarking on last week’s. This week, he has been very good. But last week he was far less than impressive and even you have to admit that.
And I’m not being negative, I’m being unbiased. And if you actually had read, I mentioned that this merely OTA’s. There are several things not permitted in OTA’s that would probably make Russell better in the regular season. i.e. the O-Line can’t really block in OTA’s and the run game would be used a LOT more.
And I have never ever based my opinion or writings on a player by their skin color. The fact that you even imply I do pisses me off as I grew up with a black cousin and I never thought of her as any different. So the next time you ever even hint that I judge players or people because of their skin color I will gladly tell you to piss off.
Next time, actually read my post and don’t tell me that I’m bashing Russell when I’ve defended him more than anybody else on this blog. And don’t be so petty as to call me racist. I know you said “people” and that doesn’t necessarily mean me. But I don’t like it when people, meaning you, hint at that.

I don't think race has anything
to do with the criticism of JaMarcus. It is and always will be his work ethic. Russell had a good week thats great but the criticsm will still be there if Cable has to keep commenting on his work ethic. It doesn’t help that pictures surfaced of him at a party with a cigar in his mouth and all blinged out. I see nothing wrong with him enjoying himself but if the perception is out there that you are a fat lazy quarterback things like that feed into peoples perception. As some people say perception is reality. I just hope thats not the case with JaMarcus. Russell can shut everyone up by having an outstanding season and showing big strides as a quarterback and as a leader.

This post was not entirely directed toward Rated-R but the initial tangent was spurred.
What did I do?

How do you get the words in bold like that? Sorry, for asking though I don't know

Getting what words in bold?
Or do you mean in a
quote box like this?
if it’s the latter, hit the " button and you’ll see a [blockquote][/blockquote] come up. Type between those 2 tags and that will show up in a box.

That blocked quote is tricky business, especially when putting up a FanPost. It can get really, really frustrating.

yeah
I finally learned to put a few line breaks in by hitting enter twice then up arrow and blocking that so I can take the cursor out of the block quote.

If you’ve already quoted something on a post, you can highlight whatever else you want to quote and hit the indent button. That works for me, but it’ll only work if you don’t have a list that is numbered or if you don’t have a list with bullets.
