Oakland Raiders New Look Offense is a Potential Beast

The Raiders offense is going to be completely unrecognizable this Sunday. It is both thrilling and frightening at the same time.
This has the potential to be an absolute disaster. Carson Palmer will be starting after being back in football for two and half weeks. The team's offensive MVP Darren McFadden is almost certainly out. TJ Houshmanzedah replaced Derek Hagan. Marcel Reece is back for the first time since Week 2, and Jim Otto will be playing center (I might have made this up).
That is a lot of change. There will undoubtedly be a problem with fluidity. However, there is also a chance to see dimensions out of this offense we haven't seen.
This offense is poised to strike at all levels in the passing game better than at any time except for the few games where Jerry Porter showed up in 2002.
Marcel Reece, Michael Bush and WR screens keep the flats dangerous. Houshmanzedah has the potential to be a slot intermediate receiver that the Raiders haven't had, or have been reluctant to use.
If TJ can make a few catches in the short middle slot, it is going to help open things up for Kevin Boss in the deep middle seam routes. This is Boss' specialty.
Then of course we have the speed demon receivers that keep the deep threat alive on every single play. And DHB turning into a force on intermediate slant routes as well. And let us not forget about the absolute havoc it bring to a defense when Reece splits out wide. This offense can be an absolute matchup nightmare.
The possibilities are really endless. It all just has to start clicking. When and if that happens is anyone's guess.

I'm No
Chemistry teacher, but do you think it may take some time for this offense to start to click? Ex: Eagles, Heat both good teams but both sucked in the beginning.
Maybe...
But I think they can hit the ground running due to this team being so hungry to win and in the words of Palmer to “Prove the naysayers wrong”

what do you expect?
all they have to do is have five otherfat guys in the viicinity to protect him, and hell fall down on his own
I have a feeling...
That we come out and absolutely kill the Donkeys! Lol! Palmer throws a pick but passes for 300+ yards and makes DHB his favorite reciever and ends the game with 7 catches for 90+ yards! I cannot wait and I’m with you Rich, it can be the start of something special or a disappointing outing! Oh yeah and the Packers are going to kill the super chokers and Miami might get there first W of the season!

Why Not???...I Still Remember Thier In Your Face Salute While We Were Down!!!
Death to that “Donkey”!!!
But we haven't won the game yet ... you're getting high off anticipation. We need cool, ruthless, steely nerves, eye of the tiger
wanton revelry over unsubstantial expectations has been a disastrous trait and weakness of the Raiders.

Well This Week That's An Intent...I Owe It To That "Donkey" Board To Represent With Intensity!!
RodneyA-n-Bronco55 Earned That Much!!!..So bare with me until the game because I’m intending to bring the humiliation upon them so it’s doubly painful when our boyz punish them for the 5th time in a row!!!
Happy we are playing the Donks
This is no knock on their D, but I would rather face them then say Ravens. Carson has mass upside if he plays as well as we all hope he can play. I’m nervous, but then again I am for every game. Should be pretty fun. I don’t expect us to catch fire, but I expect vast improvement from the Chiefs game. DMC will be out, so that will suck. Hopefully Hue uses Tawain Jones more and Reese is utilized properly. I suspect big games from the check down players more than deep routes. Can’t wait.

A good win (of any type) is definitely what is needed right now
Get this train on the right track and everyone in it motivated as we head towards the Charger game
There is unlimited potential in this offense
I think Reece coming back is absolutely massive.
Very excited to see how this team looks coming our of the bye.
That Flying "Pig" And The Running "Pig" Too...A Nightmare In The Making!!!
Glad that “Donkey” gets to be 1st…They have NO idea what’s coming at them except terrific team speed on the ground and threw the air…
They can’t play up and risk being burned deep…But they can’t play deep and get burned underneath and by that run…So what do they do???…Prolley melt like butter spread too thin in the hot afternoon sun
This is going to be fun…Than throw in a little guest appearance from Pryor in our new “Wild Pirate” and Yikes!!!…Tebownco Annihilation at it’s best!!

I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP
Rust
I’m just worried about Palmer, TJ, and Reese being rusty. If Palmer does not throw too many pick six, the D should be able to keep it close. I would like to see a blow out by the Raiders to get ready for Thursday night and the AFC West lead.
I predict 2 TDs, 2 INTs from Palmer.
He’ll get better as the season goes along though.

These parts need to fit together quickly before the Raiders get to the Packers & Lions games where their may be shoot outs.

Potential is the key word. It's up to Hue
Girlfriend: So the guy who catches the ball is the catcher, right?
Me: No. They are called wide-receivers. Catchers play baseball.
Girlfriend: Samething.
It must be early.
I’ve been following the Silver and Black Blog for the past couple of years, ocassionally posting. I try not to get too emotionally involved, since bashing the haters has gotten me kicked off of two sites in the past. I’ve decided to post today because for one I agree the Raiders offense has a huge upside to it, but I’m also posting to express how pathetic some of the so called Raider fans who post here are. I was shocked when I read the posts today and didn’t have to suffer through the piles of shit that so many of these idiots have been shoveling on the team they supposedly love. The panic, the second guessing of Hue, and the OH NO The SEASON IS OVER !!!! BS is ridiculous. If you’re a Raider fan in panic mode over a team that is 4-3 and tied for 1st keep your trap shut. I for one have a few concerns about how the Riders 2.0 will play, but only a drunken donkey or Tebow could be too blind to see whats right in front of them. The Raiders are the best team in the AFC West and have a legitimate shot at going deep into the playoffs.
We're all die hard Raiders fans here!
I think we already had this conversation. Questioning someone’s team loyalty gets us nowhere. I think based on all the changes in the last two weeks there are many unawsered questions that leave a lot of us unsettled. That’s what this site is for, expressing our veiws abt the Raiders and hearing other’s opinions. Nobody should have to keep their ‘trap shut’, unless you’re a troll.

Respectfully disagree
Without a doubt the Silver and Black is where the die hard fans come to post, but they are not the only ones posting here. Anyone who passes judgement on the Raiders and Hue for the moves that have been made lately without first giving them a couple of weeks to show what they can do, have no concept of what it takes to build a champion and are not Die Hard Raider fans.

While you right about giving Hues moves time to be proven right or wrong
People come here to give their opinions on whatever recent moves have been made, whether it is pro or con it’s all second guessing and there is nothing wrong with it and if TJ goes on to become what we all hope he can be great, if he comes out and sucks Hue will be subject to more second guessing on this site, especially if Hagan goes elsewhere and shines.
Some like to drink the Raider “Koolaid” and believe that everything will be alright no matter what and others take the complete opposite side and hate on every move, most fall somewhere in between.
The point is, there as many opinions as there are people and most are welcome here including you and as drama5780 said ignore the trolls and they’ll go away.

Isn't there limits though?
How much bitching and whining should we have to listen to from some of these people, who only come here to do that and not actually discuss things?
I didn't say we couldn't thrash them a little
just not to the point of getting kicked off the blog.
They do have an opinion, even if it may not be shared by all on the blog, but you do have the right to disagree and point out why your right and he’s wrong.
I’m not a moderator and this IS the most tolerant blog around, but I should think we can handle these types fairly easily…unless they’re Chief fans trolling… then have at em!

Horrible way to get your point across. People are already doubting you and when you tell all of us that you have been kicked off sites, we then don’t believe a word you say. We olny read your post to see how obsurd it becomes. Raider fans live and die by the Raiders. I know I do.

The Season Starts Now .
Fellow Raider Fans, Lets forget what has happened so far this year. We played games that were loaded with Penalties and turnovers, missed tackles and missed assignments … Still we are tied for First even with all of our Injuries to so many key players . Being 4 – 3 with all that has happened puts us in a great position for the rest of the Season. Sunday we start with a new QB , we added a vet. wide Receiver , Reece is going to play , Boss is back healthy , We will miss DMac.for sure but we will have him healthy for SD Thursday Night. Bush & TJ could Take Care of Business running the Ball Sunday against Denver. Our Defense just has to step up and play well. Cut Down on the
Penalties , and lets get to the QB. We have the Talent so lets use it and play like Raiders
all the way to the Championship …………………….. Go R a i d e r s …………………….

Are you just going to hang there all day like some damn ass???
I hate that I'm actually worried about this game.
Because the Broncos are terrible. But we’ve got so many changes to deal with. Plus McFadden’s injury. We’re really lucky to be playing a bad team this week (less so that we then have to play again 4 days later). But at the same time, if we lose then we might as well pack it up and wait for 2012…
there is definitley reason too worry
there are so many unknowns that surround us now, that until these new look Raiders come out and show us what they are going to be we’ll have reason to worry.
So until this Sunday we can only blog and see.
Of course, the opposing teams will have less of an idea on how to defend us with all the changes toward Carsons strengths that might be there, they will not be able to look at film and know everything we might do. So this unknown quantity gives me some solace and some worry.

The Only Things They Have Is A Suspect Running Game And A Suspect Pass Rush...
The Pass Rush worries me the most as it could get to and damage Palmer which is their only hope in this game….I look for it to be aggressive…
As far as our new “)” it puts them on their back heels..They don’t dare flood the box if we can get that “Pig” out there quickly and they don’t dare play deep with our established run game…Than again now with “TJH” the intermediate threat is there too so what do they do???
As I said come at Palmer with aggression trying to knock him out of this game!!!
CP3 said he is comfortable with the entire playbook ,so that will count for alot!
This guy is a sponge, literally! 1st team practice reps should build up his endurance & rhythm…. This will get better before it gets worse..
"THE TIME TO WIN IS NOW" - Coach Hue Jackson
Raider Nation, all hand's on deck or get the hell off the ship! That's the way it's gonna be around here from now on! If a 7th & 5th round pick gets you Aaron Curry (a former 4th overall 1st rd. pick) instead of a couple of crap-shoots a year later, then fine and if dealing away a couple of first rounder's gets you a proven franchise quarterback like Carson Palmer and a legitimate shot at the playoffs, then great, you know why? Because your team is standing behind it's motto & legacy, "Just Win Baby!" and "Commitment to Excellence" instead of "Suck for Luck" and "Give Up". Imagine if you were a fan of a team that actually bought into that!?!

Well, you can't do much worse than a 28-0 loss to a hated division rival.
At least, I hope you can’t…
I was thinking about this while reading the SJ Mercury Newspaper this morning
Most of our wide receivers are young players, and since Housh. is a veteran, he might be able to teach the young players some tricks he learned with Palmer while they were teammates at Cincinnati. Veterans are usually helpful and can help our young receivers learn some new tricks, but I’m not 100% sure whether they are effective or not.
My expectation for this offense is low at this point, but I hope things will work out for the Raiders.
Nintendo, Yoshi, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fan.
I'm glad the haven't, but...
Wonder why the Donkeys didn’t pick up Hagen? They have the worst WR corps in the league, and he could probably clue them in on some trick plays that Action Jackson loves to run.
Decker is good
But I’ve seen them saying over there that they’re not happy with Royal. Then they go and trade Brandon Lloyd.
Power Polls
All NFL Power Polls have the Raiders ranked 17 – 20. Usually, I don’t take too much stock in these polls, but with Run DMC out and all the new pieces, they are probably right at this point in time.
Before KC we were consistently ranked on several polls as around 10
One poll had us at 6 and another at 8. We dropped drastically because the loss of Campbell was big in the eyes of the polls. Once Palmer finds his groove and most of the hurt players return, we should shoot back up again.
UMMM FROM TJ
“No, I want to thank the Raiders Organization for bringing me in but things did not work out. I will be released. Thank you”
"
Yea either that account is
Fake or has been hacked, look at the last 3 tweets. Or it is him and he’s got a few mental issues from being away from football.
Nvm is fake
Definitely fake.. Lol, why Would Marcel Reece have tweeted a fake account than?
these offensive shake ups are unsettling
but as long as we win this week, the jelling will continue and we could be a fuckin juggernaut. BUT…if it’s as sloppy as in KC, Godboy could pull some miracle shit outta his ass. Tebow is terrible as a general rule, but sometimes he gets streaky and does just enough to win.
Crush your enemies...see them driven before you..and enjoy the lamentation of their women
Saw on
CSN bay reports that the Raiders sold out the Denver game. Not really surprised, even after the 28-0 I still think a lot of us have high hopes. Just good to see.

HAGEN getting cut, Big ? !!! Esp. for TJ, just not too sure about the motives or the move. Palmer being productive depends on the O-line Blocking their ass’s off, esp. the tackles. Don’t expect a lot of 3/4 wo sets. Denver’s ends are quick, so expect to see a lot of 2 TE sets, but this just IMO. Been out of the loop for most of the season, dealing with real world shit. Good to see the OG’s still hanging, but just amused about how many “NEW” ID’s have shown up THIS year !!! Funny how that works !!! Welcome , lmao !!!!

Will the real DeathRo, the one we thought we was getting, Plz. come down !!!! And yes, even though you got team tied for first Hue, don’t let it go too your head !!! You’re still a first year coach, and technically, you’re still on probation, maybe not with the organization, but you are with the ORIGINAL NATION !!!! And I hope someone is paying attn upstairs to what I’ve been seeing on the sidelines. When a defensive play is called that the defense doesn’t seem to like, they look to Woody while he looks to be bitching in the Mike at someone(Lit’l Chucky Maybe ??) and then he tells them to run it !!!! And I hope and to the God of My understanding, That Big John is being used as some kind of consultant this year and is a very STRONG contender for the GM position Next year !!! Hue, No disrespect, Just Coach, ande Just Win Baby !!! Okay, I’m done, but I just had to get that off of my chest !!!!
Good luck Papa! Its a very hard time for many people, stay strong!
A most definitely awesome rant. I would have no problem with Madden if that’s the choice but idk about his age and desire to hold such a high responsibility anymore. I want Gruden as the GM. For some reason auto correct wants Gruden to be Trident lol. I agree with everything else fully.

B's Rite about the ingredients, S-O-B !!!
But I could you the cash, right about now, LMAO, but serious as hell !!! I think you would come out cheaper that away, considering your bottle would’ve cost me about what, 60 to 80 bucks for a qt bottle ????
use the cash, that is
you would be buying a case of each to match up !!!! LOL
Will you be in attendance Sunday? It would be great to hang out with you and also I want to pay my bet ...
cash works for me too because I hate shopping and those ingredients are on par with buying tampons

flying in late Saturday, ETA, 6-7PM in Oakland...
shall we meet for dinner somewhere? Best flight deal was into SFO this time: a 5:15pm flight. Sean and I look forward to witnessing another home game similar to last year’s when we faced Tebow. Maybe that Luka’s place?

Luca's is in the occupied area. Oakland needs martial law and a stronger mayor.
Anyway, we’ll be back to stately Templar Manor around 7 – 7:15. We should solidify a plan Saturday … who knows what businesses will even be open given the bands of vandalizers and trouble makers making their unhappiness and ugliness felt.

Take it to the bank and pay off the National debt!
Hopefully TJH can Help CP
Also i want to see more reps from TJones. I want to know is he’s the real deal or just a fluke, Waiting for sunday . Raiders Rulz 4 ever
"No time to PANIC!
“Lets not freak out now! One game at a time. Tebow will be dead in the pocket. He has nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Now take that away from the Donkeys and it will be over early! Bush needs to run up the gut, work as a out-back and again run up the gut more! Palmer will fair well as long as we can run the football. Reece will help, great seeing him back in the lineup. Just remember “Buiding the Bully” will not happen overnight and we are more of a “work in progress” than when we started the season. But the potential to win the Division and be Great is overall looking better now than when we started the season, so be it… we move on with putting the best players on the field we have available for each game. Should be a good one.. with the Riots in Oakland, a big black cloud over the City and T-Boy (The Messiah of Mile High) praying against the somewhat satanic ritual which is our Black Hole, the Orange getting Crushed will be on.. GO RAIDERS! RAIDERS 31, DONKEYS 6
Just curious
Are you guys gonna play the same as you did last week? Should be a God awful game for both teams. I saw little to impress me from either side, and I doubt it will be any different this week.
We conquered this territory with our bodies and souls, then we watered it with our tears.
Go Denver!
did you even watch your team play monday night
you can’t handle a snap and you have the same center and QB. Just sad
May not be so pretty but when I watched your game Monday night I realized how truly inept are our rivals
I suspect you’re distracting yourself from the massacre awaiting you when your pathetic team lines up against Green Bay.

Hay Sin Diego....It Was Our Bye...We Didn't Play Last Week And Niether Did You!!!
Unless your try to portray that clumsy exhibition of ineptitude As “Playing Football”???…LoL!!

New look is right.
TJ will be wide open in the middle with DHB and Ford going deep takining defenders with them. TJ runs great routes and can get open, and who better than Palmer to get him the ball?. Then we have the Reece factor back. You know he’ll be active in the passing game and he’ll give the Raiders a totally different look in the flats with TJ up in the middle.

"THE TIME TO WIN IS NOW" - Coach Hue Jackson
Raider Nation, all hand's on deck or get the hell off the ship! That's the way it's gonna be around here from now on! If a 7th & 5th round pick gets you Aaron Curry (a former 4th overall 1st rd. pick) instead of a couple of crap-shoots a year later, then fine and if dealing away a couple of first rounder's gets you a proven franchise quarterback like Carson Palmer and a legitimate shot at the playoffs, then great, you know why? Because your team is standing behind it's motto & legacy, "Just Win Baby!" and "Commitment to Excellence" instead of "Suck for Luck" and "Give Up". Imagine if you were a fan of a team that actually bought into that!?!

Hey there CC !!!
Throw in “The Boss” going down the deep seam, someone gonna be running wide open !!!! What was our old TE’s name again ??? I’m getting fucking old, but then again I’ve always been bad with names !!!!
Raymond Chester is still my favorite (1970's version not when they brought him back in 1980)
Zach couldn’t touch him or Todd Christensen … only Dave Casper measures up.

A vote of confidence
From Inside the Bay Area’s Weekly Chat:
Q: Whats the morale like in the locker room?
Cork: Everyone is upbeat. They feel as if the division is theirs for the taking.
Q:Any chance we have another let down this week?
Cork: No way. The Broncos are going to get steamrollled.
Q: Steve do you still see the raiders as a playoff team?
Cork: Yes, I fully expect them to win the AFC West and make some noise in the playoffs.
Regarding Kool Aid:
Cork: Don’t do Kool-Aid of any kind. Just report the facts and pass along observations from watching practice every day.
FWIW

"JUST WIn BABY.." ~ AL DAVIS 1929-2011
Ok, I have been "cured"...
according to the head doc, (speaking of head doc, I saw this at my local grocery store last week on a name tag…Candy Head Clerk..I’m just saying), anyways according to the doc all thoughts of violence and mayhem have been scoured from my brain and i am now allowed to return to regular duty. So, that being said, am I crazy to believe that we are going to dominate the next 2 weeks? I cannot help myself I am crazy for this game and i hope the friggin chefs…yeah i said it the chefs got the pass of a lifetime catching us like that. Now for the problem…I coach my oldest son’s bball team and the game is at 3:45 pm gotta be at the gym at 3:00 should I watch some and then go and die at the game or should I watch none and go and die at the game…I have dvr so that will not be a problem…I ask for the nation’s collective opinion on this and will do what the majority says!!!!!!!
Look at you: member of the honor roll, assistant to the assistant manager of the movie theater. I'm tellin' ya, Rat, if this girl can't smell your qualifications, then who needs her, right? Mike Damone (Fast Times at Ridgemont High)
Good luck Raiders
Please pile on and beat up Tebow some more, he still has to be hurting from the beating he took from the Lions, I think he landed on his head in that air cartwheel play and then there was the other 20 hits, and seven sacks. HA, what a joke.
I’m actually concerned the kid might get seriously injured out there, he is not as fast as he thinks he is and he leaves himself open to awkward hits every game. I’m actually rooting for Palmer just because Cinci is such a pit.
Kool Bro...Thanks For The Support...And For Taking The Air Out Of Their Inflated Egos Before We Meet...
LoL…After their “Miami Miracle” they were all high on their hope and majestic fantasy…Now they be humiliated and not talking much at all…Funny how that bitch slapping at your hands has smothered their hopes and robed them of the holy breath…LoL!!…Love it!!
We need a Option Package with TP & Tawain Jones at Running back with Bush in as a blocking / pass catching option ....
A FEW SAFE RUNS & THROWS FOR PRYOR WOULD DO WONDERS FOR HIS CONFIDENCE!!!
