Oakland Raiders Training Camp Recap and Pictures 7/28

 

The Oakland Raiders training camp has already cranked up to full speed. And apparently full speed is too much for Darrius Heyward-Bey and Bruce Campbell. Both players had to sit  out Thursday's practice with various undisclosed injuries. Great start for those two. Jump over for better news and some great pics via the Raiders Twitter page....

Star-divide

 

The Raiders are intent on training there guys in all kinds of ways. Also, apparently the south has Rolando McClain used to some intense heat. I think I might've had my sweatshirt off for this one.

_jg10169--nfl_medium_540_360_medium

I've never seen this next work out:

_jg10147--nfl_medium_540_360_medium

John Henderson took some time hitting the heavy bag, and he ended up hitting the showers next. Henderson limped off the field early. The injury is not expected to be serious, and was somewhat expected.

_jg10258--nfl_medium_540_360_medium

Henderson wasn't the only one taking a turn on the heavy bag.

_jg10435--nfl_medium_540_360_medium

Richard Seymour pretended like the heavy bag was Ben Roethlisberger. That wasn't all Seymour was hitting. 

Rookie Taiwan Jones via Twitter:

"Took a good hit by big Seymour, made a few mistakes but the good thing about camp is there's 2mrw. We getting better play by play."

Of course it was non-contact and the players weren't in pad, but Big Rich had to welcome the rook somehow. Hue Jackson reportedly was cheering Seymour on when gave the rookie a little jolt.

_t7d9684--nfl_medium_540_360_medium

I have no idea what Hue is saying to Campbell here, but it was probably a little constructive criticism. Vittorio Tafur reported that Campbell was not sharp on Thursday.

By everyone's account, Tommy Kelly came into camp in great shape.

_jg10370--nfl_medium_540_360_medium

He looks like it, too. He was one of the players I was most worried about letting the lockout go to his waist. Great job by Kelly he really has turned his career around.

Here is a sight we can probably get used to:

Wisnieski blocking for the Raiders QB. Let's just hope he was doing it the right way because his uncle looks like he could still kick some ass.

_r1k9294--nfl_medium_540_360_medium

 

This is one of the best sights of camp:

_r1k9712--nfl_medium_540_360_medium

Or maybe it is the worst. Get off you feet, Chaz! You might break something.

Stanford Route reportedly got toasted a couple of times, and once by Jacoby Ford, but he looks to be in great shape on this play.

_r1k0084--nfl_medium_540_360_medium

Tyvon Branch got a lot of run at free safety

_t7d9745--nfl_medium_540_360_medium

Jerry McDonald tweeted that Hue Jackson said he could play there. To which I say, "Nooooooooooooooo!"

There is a new presence at the Raiders practices this year: Al Saunders.

 

_r1k9295--nfl_medium_540_360_medium

And Saunders was reported to be all over the field running, yelling and just generally going nuts. All in all, the practice was reported to have great pace. Much faster than last year's Camp Cable. Hue Jackson is cranking up the intensity level on these guys.

The highlight of practice may have been this:

_jg19793--nfl_medium_540_360_medium

The sprints. There are global track meets that don't line up field with this much speed.

I don't worry about Routt getting burned by Ford

That’s because every corner that is in front of Ford is going to get torched this year. I’m excited about this kid more than anything…he showed flashes of greatness…not just competency but actual greatness. If the line can give Campbell the time he needs to let the WRs get downfiled…watch out.

I hope we give Stevie Brown a look at FS…as much as I respect Hue’s opinion…I don’t think those positions are as interchangeable as he eluded to.

You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who make people happy, but inside he's real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea.

Tyvon can play FS

he’s like Kirk Morrison either going to be great at coverage or run support but not both. His role at SS was run support so he was beefed up and playing with the hit mentality. He was a CB/FS in college, I don’t see why he couldn’t handle the role. Maybe it will force our Defense to ease up on the single high saftey.

Tyvon has the awareness to play FS. Plus I want Mitchell to start for god sakes!

There is also reports he did look sharp. Marty James of Napa Valley Register said:

Campbell took the field Thursday for the first day of practice and looked sharp running the offense in 11-on-11 matchups. He completed a 25-yard pass to Louis Murphy, a wide receiver, and connected with Jacoby Ford, a receiver, on a pass.

Can't worry about where people are playing in the 2nd practice of training camp

First of all, the Raiders only have 65 of an available 90 players at training camp right now, so there is plenty of room for additional players at every position. Secondly, we all know that the Raiders have been negotiating with S Dashon Goldson, who obviously would become the starting FS if he were signed. Thirdly, its the 2nd practice of the year!

Branch has the wheels to play FS, but I don’t know if he’s got the vision and instincts to do it. On the other hand he’s shown to be an above average SS in our base packages, even if it means taking time away from Mitchell. Not that it matters a lot, the Raiders have to play their Big Nickel package so often that Branch and Mitchell end up being on the field together a ton.

DHB having balky hamstrings doesn’t surprise me at all, Bruce Campbell being hurt all of a sudden came out of nowhere. Hopefully the Raiders are still negotiating with Jared Gaither.

Goldson is good. up and coming guy.

I can see Tyvon getting cut to sign goldson…. but I’ll support that because I really hope the raiders get goldson. but sad that it is tyvon….

but thats just a side thing. I think Branch would be able to play FS. I dont know if he’ll get the INTs, but I think he has the ability to cover well.

The Dallas Cowboys are reworking contracts to open salary cap room so they can make a strong push to sign free-agent CB Nnamdi Asomugha (Raiders). To make the necessary room to add him, the team would also release CB Terence Newman.

Ha! Ha! "SadFranchise"....

49ers | Frank Gore putting team in tough position

The San Francisco 49ers are in a tough position with RB Frank Gore, who is holding out for a new contract. Gore, 28, has a lot of miles on him during his career, and many of them have been tough yards because of his running style and the team’s previously weak offensive line. He has also missed time with injuries, and is coming off a season shortened by a fractured hip. All accounts are he is fully healthy from last year’s injury, and Gore has a history of rebounding from injury problems. However, at this point in his career it may be difficult for the 49ers to commit a lot of additional money to him. Gore’s base salary in 2011 is 2.9 million, plus he would earn another $2 million from a roster bonus.

by jypsypimp on Jul 29, 2011 11:39 AM PDT up reply actions  

no not really.

the RG is less important than LG, but imo, RT is the easiest spot to fill, because they are usually facing run stuffing ends and not pass rushers. Guards have to deal with inside blitzes, and he has to take care of the tackle and maybe DT (when the tackle has to take care of a blitzing OLB). its not easy but its not better than LG and LT. imo

i respectfully disagree...

Moss for a 4th round pick instead of Aaron Rodgers… giving away a 2nd rounder for hall, then dumping him, effectively just giving away the pick… drafting Gallery, Russell, DHB, Huff, etc with high 1st round picks… doing deals with Lucifer Belicheck… firing Gruden… getting next to nothing for Woodson…

bottom line...

when Al quits drafting track stars and starts drafting football players…. give me a call and tell me how genius he is…

but the Bo Jackson pick was the best pick in NFL history…

I don’t hate the guy… but the game’s changed and he still drafts like we’re in the 70’s… didn’t realize Al was held in such high regard on this forum haha

by jypsypimp on Jul 29, 2011 12:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

as long as they can do their job well

I could care less what the 40 time is. Stop judging the picks based on speed, and judge them on their production. Some of the guys Al got were not that good, but he made some great picks (that had fast 40 times too). So just because the guy may have the best 40 time, doesnt mean al will sign him. otherwise all of our drafts would have extremely fast guys.

Per FOX Sports’ Adam Caplan, Albert Haynesworth forfeited his guaranteed 2011 salary ($5.4 million) by skipping 2010 minicamps with the Redskins.
Thus, the Pats can release Haynesworth quickly if he becomes a problem and be on the hook for zero monetary commitment. It’s still not a “no-risk” deal; New England did surrender a future fifth-round pick while gambling Haynesworth will be a good soldier in their 3-4 defense, something he refused to be under Mike Shanahan. The Patriots play 50 percent nickel alignments, and we suspect that’s where they’re hoping Haynesworth helps the most. Jul 28, 8:41 AM

You can't take Nnamdi's name in vain! you're banned!

exiled for life. I am sending all of your pertinent info to Al Davis, too. You’ll never cheer for the Raiders again.

okay..... but you still have not redeemed yourself. lol

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

Zach Miller

If anything, let this day end with a Zach Miller signing! I’d hate to mess around with losing the only guy on the team with great hands.
