A Look Ahead: The 2010 Oakland Squad

Okay, okay I know, it is too early to talk about how the 2010 Raiders are going to turn it around. That's not where I'm going with this, though, so bear with me...please.
What I mean is that this team now has real-life starters. It's not like the plug-and-play players that Oakland has had in the past. You can actually look at the team and say, "Ok, who will be starting in 2010?"
Let's see:
Kicker: Sebastian Janikowski
Punter: Shane Lechler
Strong safety: Tyvon Branch
Cornerback: Nnamdi Asomugha
Defensive End: Richard Seymour
Defensive End: Matt Shaughnessy
Defensive Tackle: Tommy Kelly
Outside Linebacker: Trevor Scott
Left tackle: Mario Henderson
Left Guard: Robert Gallery
Wide Receiver: Chaz Schilens
Tight End: Zach Miller
Running Back: Michael Bush/Darren McFadden
Okay, sure there are some open ends still, but I'm not sure you could look at this team this early a year ago and say, "Hey, we know more than half of the starters we will have for next year."
This, my friends, is called progress. I don't care what anybody says about wins and losses.
You could probably throw in the idea that we could figure out more "potential starters" also, like the other wide receiver will be either Darrius Heyward-Bey or Louis Murphy. Let’s also add FS Michael Huff.
The quarterback will most likely be either JaMarcus Russell or Bruce Gradkowski, depending on how Radkowski does in the off season. So far, he has a strong lead heading into the draft period, barring any trade for Donovan McNabb. The main point is that the likely starter is already on the roster.
Kirk Morrison and Thomas Howard could also factor into the equation, although they are currently both free agents this offseason. Don't think that Al Davis won't re-sign both players either. Look no farther than Shane Lechler, Nnamdi Asomugha, Richard Seymour, and Sebass for an example.
And I'm guessing that Kirk Morrison might be traded for that third round pick, but at present there are no movements in any RFA markets.
This is part of the reason why I wanted to keep the coaching staff here too. Consistency; that is what it's all about...a new coaching staff would’ve caused more turn over because the current players would’ve not fit their system. Right now, these guys are developing good chemistry and learning to be a team. A new staff would’ve uprooted everything they’ve worked for.
People consider the Pittsburgh Steelers to be a historically great team. Pittsburgh has had three head coaches since the 70's. So few, in fact, that Raiders fans from across the country, in California, can most likely name all three. Six Super Bowl championship rings, the most in league history produced by three coaches.
Oakland tight end Zach Miller has had three coaches in three professional years.
The Philadelphia Eagles have had six NFC Championship appearances in ten years. They have had the same QB and coach combination since 1999. They are a team, and they have good chemistry.
The Tennessee Titans have had the same coach since they were in Houston as the Oilers. They are considered in the top teams of the league year in and year out.
New England has had the same regime since 2000, even though Belichick's first year they went 5-11. The next year they drafted Richard Seymour, and we saw the emergence of Tom Brady. The rest is history, what was their run, three SB rings in five years, and they followed it up with a perfect season...well nearly perfect.
Look, in short, all that I'm saying is that Raider Nation needs to recognize when they are in the face of progress and not revert to the same community that is going to take seven bad seasons out on fourteen or more starters, many of whom are new to the team, or only in their second or third year.
I can see the progress. Can you look past the bad and see through the storm clouds?

I agree with all your starters
Id like to see Thomas Howard back though, and Michael Mitchell start at FS. But otherwise its all settled. Everywhere else should be solid competition. Bring in a rookie ar RG, MLB, DT and CB. Then we should see a dramtic change in 2010.
Btw, Seeing that pigeon reminded me of that kickoff play. Man, That was magical
In Bruce We Trust
Louis Murphy
Is going to be a starter for sure. He plays hard on every route and he is not afraid to throw a block (or two) downfield.
Wide Receivers
Murphy has to be a lock with the position being so thin for us. He performed well with Gradkowski. Heyward-Bey has to learn to catch the ball before he can replace Louis or even see time at the slot over Higgins.

"DHB" -vs- Higgins
I would say no contest…Not because of the tremendous talent that “DHB” brings to the table but because Higgins can’t strike fear in any “S” and force him to play deep…“DHB” does w Jefat’s arm in the game…
What he needs to learn to do and the coaches need to game plan is to sell the deep and break under for the short to intermediate shit….If they can get that working “DHB” will start to draw even more attention and anyone else should be able to get open…With deep n shallow coverage on “DHB” a “RB” or “TE” should present an easy target being covered by a “LB” or uncovered if they blow it…On the routs where “DHB” breaks it short we should have Murphy or Chaz break it deeper…Or “JLH” in the game with “DHB” and splitting with speed from the same side of the field to opposite sidelines and see who draws the deep coverage…My bet is someone will come uncovered…Just patterns of good things to come…
Add "RunDMc" in the Mix
Better yet split “McCatch-n-Run” out wide with “DHB” and send them both deep w speed and see who draws the coverage away…Of course for this to work with any consistency our “QB” needs to have a good working relationship with those "WR"s so that’s a mute point at this time of the season…
Fred Biletnikof used that technique successfully and when they stopped buying it would balk and then head for the
post or flag and burn them deep. The WR coaches have got to install some caginess into these guys and eventually Grad will read their minds and we’ll be posting TDs off the pass consistently.

he and murph really gained chemistry
murph new his route grad ad the clock in his head and hit those back shoulder passes to murph which lead to 2 awesome comeback victories. this kinda magic happens with hard workers and we have got some on this team for once in a long time!

Where's the shot?
We should be attempting something deep a few times a game to DHB. Just to get an interference call if anything else. Pass blocking is a problem there. Not enough time for DHB to use a double move for the QB who’s usually running for his life 2.5 second after the snap.

That’s one of the few things I see good about Cable as “HC”….He is starting to build that old team 1st atmosphere again and that’s very very long overdue…
how about dhb blocking his ass off for bushs' 70 yard run against the chiefs!

(*~*) 2nd That Emotion
He can take the heat off the rest and that’s part of his duties…He brings a “Can-Do” attitude to the table and we need more of that from our young guys…

Murphy?
Agreed. I love this kid’s effort and heart. With Miller being our best pass game option. These WRs don’t have to be great. Just consistant. Aside from Murphy, I’m also looking forward to seeing Mike Mitchell and Shaughnessy grow.
by golfswithglock on Mar 29, 2010 11:56 AM PDT up reply actions
true starters will help the rookies
Part of the problem is that the rookies have been expected to play great
immediately instead of learning behind confirmed veterans and have not
been able to do so. Maybe this will lead to a more solid and normal(?) team
that is able to play consistantly and win!
I hope this is accurate in terms of theplayers starting but not necessarily the positions.
I like Matt Shaughnessy & Desmond Bryant but I think we can let go of Jay Richardson & allow those two to get major minutes in a D-line rotation but not start. I would like to see Trevor Scott start opposite Richard Seymour at DE. Also have Kamerion Wimbley not play LB as reported but have him as a pass-rush specialist playing DE or a hybrid elephant position like Scott was last year. Those 4 have the makings of a good rotation along with the likely starters Seymour & Kelly. I just hope this team is smart enough to keep Seymour at DE. He didn’t seem to hold up well on 3rd downs as evidenced by the numerous times the team got burned on draws going for 20+ yrds when we had 3 & 17 yds to go. The DT or nose position needs to be addressed this draft within the 1st 3 rounds. Also it’s most likely Morrison is going to be traded then we also need to address MLB as well. This year, Al needs to recognize the middle of the defense. So far the safeties projected look to be better than what we’ve gone into seasons past so that’s ok. We just need to get stronger up the middle. Maybe trade down, collect more picks & get McClain in the 1st. I know O-line is a need but we never had a chance to see Khalif really show us anything at RT & Henderson is developing at LT. I say take our chances & beef up the DT position & MLB for the long-term future.
Ist RD- Rolando McClain MLB
2nd RD- Cam Thomas DT
3rd RD- Vlad Ducasse T
Good Idea
One problem the Raiders have had is getting off the field on third down and playing from behind. You take care of the middle of the Defense and it helps the offense without a stellar O Line. They can work on that big time next year or maybe draft one good one this year.
by Mallard Davis on Mar 29, 2010 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions
Sorry but our draft has to be
1 – OT Trent Williams or Campbell
2 – DT preferably Linval Joseph
3 – MLB
In that order for the first 3 rds
What's Your Opinion Of Terrence Cody "DT" Bama
Big assed Washington was the last time we had a true run stuffer in the middle of our “DL” and sense his departure we have been run over like turtles crossing the highway…
Donovan F. McNabb
I guess that I will believe it when I see it (#5 in Silver & Black). The continuing rumors of Da Raiders going after starting QB’s leads me to believe more & more that JaFlabAss came in at 290.
by Mallard Davis on Mar 29, 2010 2:16 PM PDT up reply actions
Thats why you
Cut Russell after the Season cause you don’t pay him then he goes some where else. Next year We can pay McNabb.
I saw that.
I guess Al is willing to give up our 2nd Rd. Pick for Donovan. This is really confusing, I want Bruce to be the starter, but I wouldnt complain if Donovan gave us a solid 2-3 years.
But, All this means is that Al is starting to realize JaMarcus isn’t the answer, He may say he’s bringing him in to tutor JR, but thats a cover up. This move means JR is out ASAP
In Bruce We Trust
Spin Doctor
Yep, let the spin begin. There will have to be some reason, Russell being out of shape, for Al to ever admit he was wrong. Hey maybe with Al turning 80, we will see the era of a kinder, gentler, sane Al Davis?????
by Mallard Davis on Mar 29, 2010 2:30 PM PDT up reply actions
Al never lost his mind, Cause he cant lose something he never had.
He’s always been the aggresive guy. But in todays modern and femanine league, his ways are looked down upon. I love Al, and I trust he knows whats best for the team. But he’ll never “step down”. The only way Al is going to give up control is if he dies, hes too stubborn and is convinced everyone else is an idiot and would drive our pride org. into the ground.
In Bruce We Trust
Keith Bulluck
What do you think I know we is an outside linebacker but maybe he could fill in for Morrison if he leaves. I am not saying pay him a ton of money but he could fit our system.
Don't think he is down hill
But he sould be easy get and he could teach Howard how to shed blockers and be a good outside backer
Its something to think about, Keith is a great leader and run stopper.
If we get a rookie ILB in the draft he could serve as a mentor to him and Thomas. I forget his age, but linebacker is a tough posistion to play at a older age. The only linebacker that I can think of that plays at a high level despite his age is Ray Lewis, but Ray is a god of the football world
In Bruce We Trust
Marketing
I just saw it on the ESPN crawl too. Who are the league sources?
This may be the only way for the Raiders to stop hemorrhaging season ticket holders too. With the possibility of Russell at starting QB, many season ticket holders don’t buy their tickets.
by Mallard Davis on Mar 29, 2010 2:36 PM PDT up reply actions
Russell, McNabb and Davis
Sadly, I don’t think the Raider fans get it. You want JaMarcus gone? I can guarantee that you won’t see him leave till his contract is up. Or unless someone trades for him…like…I dunno…the browns maybe? or rams? However, both’re doubtful because we all know Russell isn’t playin’ football. With his current contract, how much backlash would there be if Al Davis just wasted 40 million dollars to someone who got cut? In todays economy? No thank you, that’d be even more media suicide than he already gets. Russell was brought into this league with the thought that he was going to be similar to a Michael Vick or a Donovan McNabb. He is a big guy, with a big arm. So…why not go for one of the two QBs who would be able to mentor and cater to this guys skills? (I imagine you have to have some sort of talent to get into the NFL…somewhere…) I say bring in McNabb and put Russell behind him. You can only learn from someone who knows more than you, and I think it’s safe to say that McNabb knows more than Russell. Bring him in, he can throw deep (davis) and with accuracy (a trait that has not been found in a Al Davis QB in some years), and most importantly, he can bring that solid leadership to this offense.
As for Al Davis, I’m not sure that you can say he had/has no brain. 5 confrence championships and 3 SBs…there’re teams with less. The Raiders historically are a great franchise but I think there’re too many Raider fans that just “want to get back to the glory days.” Sadly, the head coach from across the bay, the great Mike Singletary said it best about his own franchise, “I’m not here to get back to anything, I’m here to move forward to something new and better.” (Of course that is paraphrased because well…come on, this is Raider talk!)
In closing, thanks to anyone who took the time to read this, keep yer Silver and Black raised high and lets move FORWARD to greatness.

Todd, if this trade does happen it means Al has had enough and with an uncapped year he may get cut.
It doesn’t matter wha others think lets just move on and cut the dead weight, U think Al gives a Sh*t about the media? he doesn’t, it may happen if this trade goes down, u wont see Russell take the field anymore…

contract is up after this season. you honestly think he will be a productive player this year? i dont. you think he will be worth 13 mill this season? i dont. why not cut him now, take the 3 mill cap hit and then move forward to greatness?

bring in mcnabb
I think raiders need to cut russell and bring in brown from W. virginia. Mcnabb could train him for two yrs. I say bring in torri holt to help raiders wrs corp.antonio pierce for two yrs and address mlb next yr. raiders need to focus on o-line and DT. Draft 8 T 39 Mcnabb 69 DT next pick g maybe mike johnson ala. i think the raiders are ready to win with leadership, the time is running short with fans.
Good Info But Keep "JeFat"
Look…I realise he isn’t what everyone expected him to be but maybe some of that was our own over expectations for the kid….And he was just a Kid when drafted and his maturity was in question at the time as a “JR”…20 I think and it was said NOT a complete player…NOT a lot of experience…Tremendous talent w tremendous up-side…Tremendous physical abilities…Well now it’s taking time for his brain to catch up with his big damn ass…
The kid in Tenn had that same problem and was spoken of the same way prior to the draft and is only now beginning to show some football savvy….Young is a talent and will most likely become a very good “QB” in the near future…
How long did it take for the “Snake” to develop…Old man Blanda had to bail him out repeatedly before he was really ready to take over the franchise….Dare we say Kenny had some maturity problems in his spsyche….Hell…If he was drafted in today’s market that’s all we would hear about….
Bret is another one…He had to overcome the “AA” thing before he could move on….Of course he also produced early on but the point is about maturity problems and that’s mostly the issue that our “JeFat” is facing…
I’m not at all ready to throw in the towel on that kid just yet…And I hope the hell “AD” isn’t either….And just to add a little excuse to this post tell me who the hell is producing at a top level in this present “O”…What “QB” has been able to to post high rating….What “RB” has been able to be a top producer…What “WR” has been in the top 10….Are we happy with the production of our “TE”….I’m surely not…He should be in the top 5 of the game….
These coaches have not been able to instill a workable scheme or dependable game plan for how may years now….I believe it goes deeper than just the players on the field…
More Thoughts -or- Questions
We have on our coaching staff both an Offensive Coordinator in Hue Jackson n a Passing Game Coordinator in Ted Tollner so what gives…Cable said in his interview Jackson would be taking over the “OC” duties so what exactly will Ted be doing….My personal feeling is he failed to do a very good job last season in our passing game and it may be due to his experience in the “WCO” with SadFran…Seems the passes were too short and rarely went deep…So what should we look forward to under Hue…Any ideas because I really don’t know much about the guy except he did a fine job with Joe da BlackBird…

I've Never
posted in the Nation before being a Broncos fan. However, it’s intriguing that you guys may bring in Donovan McNabb. Obviously, I’ll have to hate McNabb if he wears the silver and black even though I’ve liked watching him for years. In any case, you guys may be contenders in the AFC if that happens. It’s obvious the Chargers are going to be weaker while I don’t know what to make of Kansas City. Hopefully, the Broncos will emerge as division champions but anyway you slice it, the AFC West will have a new look in 2010. We all agree on one thing though SAN DIEGO SUPER CHOKERS

Simple Fact
The Eagles FO really messed up with there QB’s. They have 3 great QB’s
But all there contracts exspire at the same time. So do they resign McNabb and let Kolb walk after you been grooming him the last 4 years to take over ? No, Do you resign both kolb and McNabb . The eagles can afford it but kolb will never go for that . He said point blank he wants to be a starter. So It looks like McNabb and Vick are the Odd men out. Vick was never brought into the eagles to be the starter. So what do you do with McNabb and Vick, Trade em to the highest bidder. I really hope its the raiders. McNabb is 5 times the qb you guys have right now. Vick is at least 3 times better then what you have right now . plus he’s been groomed under Andy Ried. He always makes qb’s better some how. just look at the eagles Atlanta game.
Hope For The "Dawg"
I was pimping Vick last season and was disgusted that we didn’t go after him so I would be totally down with getting him now…His legs and durability would do wonders for our weak-ass “OL”…Not sure McNabb would hold up…
by PantyRaider on Mar 29, 2010 11:32 PM PDT up reply actions
Honestly Not All That Well Informed
I never followed the Eagles so I have seen him play only occasionally…I know he has been injury prone late in his career and worry about that with the Raiders because we are unable to protect a "QB" and our "QB"s are open game in the NFL….Very rarely is a flag thrown for a late hit on a Raider "QB" or a "WR" which is something Rice had to come to grips with as a Raider….He took far more punishment than he ever had to endure as a Niner and "DB"s are allowed a lot more freedom against our "WR"s than any other team that I have seen…
Same goes for the "DL" because they have to fight threw the holding and other crap that the "Zebras" allow other teams to get away with…Now that ain’t crying it’s document in report after report as other teams players have spouted off and our own players/coaches who came from other programs and those who left to another team have also testified to it as fact…Mostly after they retire because they fear the reprisals…
For this reason we need a durable "QB" who doesn’t mind getting physical….I saw that from "JeFat" before he was drafted and hoped it would translate into the NFL….Sadly it hasn’t yet…
Yea
Im all for Vick to the raider. You guys are like my chick on the side. Mc nabb and Vick have the ability to get away from pressure. McNabb is a better QB. But Vick is quicker. Mcnabb can run but uses his strenght to get away from tackles. The guy is strong as hell. So im good with either one of them in silver and black. As long as you get one of them. Id hate to see them go some where else.

he still has the arm . I think he’s even stronger. He lost a step or too. But he’s still quick and strong as hell. But he makes that throw almost once a game. plus he has a real instant for feel guys comming from behind. here ill show you the arm.

here this is typical McNabb

Yea so if he lost a step , you cant really notice.
damn
I want to keep McNabb in philly . But like I said b4 if he has to go some where . Id prefer it be to the raiders. Philly is spoiled and dont know how good they have it.
Time To Throw
One thing I notice is he has the time to throw…His “LT” stays with a block…But in OakTown that will become a huge issue so I’m still in a quandary over it….Vick is much younger and his legs are better…
yea
Andy Reid always goes outta his way to sign the best LT he can. wich I love him for that . you dont have to worry about the LT to much with Vick though. He’s Left handed. So you,ll have to worry about your RT. Im not sure how good your RT is?
Good Point
I forgot he was a lefty like the “Snake”…I think we are better at the “RT” position comparatively but not sure how he holds up if that’s the blind side…Usually that’s an easier position to fill…

McNabb
is an outstanding QB. If the eagles win that superbowl a few years back with the TO fiasco, he’s up for hall of fame discussions. His career record, stats, whatever you want to use to measure is irreproachable. Philly fans haven’t appreciated what he brought to the city. Now, this is about contracts. You cut JR, eat a small piece of his contract, bring in McNabb, send Nnambi; net net, your sitting on a pile of savings. With that “savings”, you go a pick up 2 CB and/or a MLB and/or DT. You can only view McNabb in totally of contracts and years left on the contracts. Vick is an improvement from what we have but by how much? Do you release JR if you bring in Vick?
Now is the best time to cut JR. No salary cap means no cap hit.
I really believe he hasn’t done anything for Cable or Davis to have any faith entrusted in him to be the backup much less the starter. I wouldn’t touch Vick with a 10 ft stick personally. He had a good supporting cast in Atlanta, had a $100 million contract & blew it. I would be happy with Doc B & Frye as the backup or 3rd with anybody else but McNabb is looking more like a good move. The fact he & Doc B in the QB position & JR off the roster upgrades that position immediately. However I am still skeptical about the trade since he has been saying he wants to go to Minnesota & he also has a home in Phoenix. I don’t see him being more than a rent-a-player & a 2nd rd seems too high a price to pay along with $30 million over 2 years.
you have to look at it from his perpesctive. The guys has been in Philly his whole career. He know his days are up there, so like most high caliber players he wants to go to an already established team. This isn’t a knock on us. Its a worry that if he doesn’t make us a winner he will be blamed and discarded. With Arizona and Minnesota he wouldn’t have to do much. Oakland would be a challenege. I think he would welcome the challenege if given the opportunity to play here. He is a professional and if he gets us to the playoffs or within a game of the playoffs you really think he will leave? He is going to be Godlike in Raider Nation. We are not like Philly at all. If the Raiders bomb than yes he will move on, but the publicity and respect he would be giving for turning this boat around would keep him in Oakland for some time.
If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you.

No Cap but still about 9 mil guaranteed
I’d love to see it too, but not sure the team will be willing to eat so much of an investment without giving him another shot. The guy is worthless from a football and marketing sense, so there’s really not much left to keep him around for.
"We have to win eight. I'll be crushed if we don't win eight." CRN...Eat it BN, lol
Sorry Raider fans if you think We have a chance
If you saw Jamarcus last college game against N.D.he looked the same then as he did now .His teammates made great plays by great catches,Blocking or running but Jamarcus got the credit.Anybody can look good in proday there is nobody rushing you,L.B.dropping in coverage,Ballhawke safety,or a cover corner baiting you to throw it.We never hould have choosen him.I think the team picking second was jumping for joy that they did’nt have a choose the bum.The raiders should have asked themselves is he a team leader,is he accurate,Does he have the I.Q for complications of the game,When things go bad is he fireing up his teammates or is he just clueless to his surroundings,can we build a team around him,Does he work hard to improve his game,Does he have what it takes to be a N.F.L. starting QB.If you said yes to all then you deserve everything you get.The choice is simple cut him along with Draft bust WR and any texas player ,any OL that can’t remember the count 10 seconds after it was told to him and plays a mattador blocking(olay)any conerback that runs the wrong angle any Defence of player that can’t tackle,any safety that teams are happy to see in the backfield,get rid of the current QB bring in Gannon clone some one who is hungry and screams at his teamates who screwup.For heveanssake AL get over it bring back Gruden and give him Authority you may have made the raiders but they were here before you were here and they still will be after you’re gone.As a season ticket holder since there return I will never attend a raider game until youre gone.
