Oakland Raiders Cut 9 and Other Tuesday Practice Notes

by Rich Langford on Aug 31, 2011 5:01 AM PDT

Nine players are now former Oakland Raiders. Fullback Bryson Kelly, offensive lineman Ben Lamaak, wide receivers Damola Adeniji and Steve Goulet, safety Josh Bullocks and defensive tackle Derrick Hill were all given their walking papers. There are no surprises there, and none of these guys will be missed.

Offensive lineman Alan Pelc and linebacker Travis Goethel were placed on injured reserve, and that means they are done for the season. Offensive lineman Lou Eliades was waived injured. If he clears waivers the Raiders could place him on the injured reserve list as well.

Jump over to check onto news regarding players that are still actively Raiders from the notes of Jerry McDonald and Steve Corkran.

Chris Johnson was back at practice. He won't play Friday at Seattle, but he said there was no doubt he'd play in the opener. John Henderson also returned.
Stefen Wisniewski sat out practice. Hue Jackson said it was minor. Hopefully he is right. Richard Seymour sat out practice again, and there is no indication his absence will be prolonged. Hue Jackson said he didn't want to overexert him. That would be fine with me, but it is also hard to believe there isn't some kind of injury. Greg Papa had said he had a hamstring issue.
Mike Mitchell continues to miss practice. Steve Corkran has a source that sheds a little light on the subject, "A person close to Mitchell said his injury involves one of his knees, though he isn’t sure if Mitchell required surgery to repair the cartilage damage."
Chimdi Chekwa continues to spend time at safety. He is also getting reps at corner. It'd be great if he got the hang of safety. He definitely needs to improve on the tackling performance from Sunday's game if he is going to be a successful safety.

Hue's Over "30" Club Getting A Rest???

As long as Seymour is ready for week #1 nothing is lost…Besides it gives a great false impression of weakness which may catch the “MuleHeads” sleeping n Unprepared…

Nice! The WR depth chart is loaded not

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.

yes its great that we have depth and speed at the wr postion~~~ my surprize on a cut will be miller.

i think that at wr postion ,we can do without him and also punt and kick off returns. we have alot of people with speed and can play on the return teams, doing the returns and i feel he has a slim chance making the raiders at wr.

no disrespect sports with steve

but it will be a surprise if little nicky makes it… unless glass chaz cracks completely

Still, if Chaz gets hurt again v Seachicks, I expect the tough hobbit (#89) to survive. He is versatile and a gamer

Chekwa looks like he’ll be a safety in 2 weeks.

Man

We could have really used a CB with some experience. You can pretty much take anybody at this point who has played in the NFL and it would be an upgrade for the #3 CB spot.

ive heard pryor speak and ive seen those questions

no way he got a 7

i disagree, if somebody really and truly got a 7 on that test

I would question their ability to find their way to the practice field

If I think the test is idiotic

I’d blow it. It’s possible that the guy didn’t really took it seriously the first time, then got admonished and scored higher the second time.

Less than 10

"In football, I root for the Oakland Raiders because they hire castoffs, outlaws, malcontents, and fuck -ups, they have lots of penalties, fights, and paybacks, and because Al Davis told the rest of the pig NFL owners to go get fucked. Someday, the Raiders will be strong again, and they will dip the ball in shit and shove it down the throats of the wholesome, white, heartland teams that pray together and don't deliver late hits." - George Carlin.

From Cork today...

*Long-time sportswriter Bob McGinn reported today that Pryor scored a 7 on the Wonderlic test administered to college players with NFL aspirations.
Now comes word from ESPN’s John Clayton that Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert administered the test on Pryor and confirmed that Pryor scored "significantly higher" than what McGinn reported.

A few of us kind of saw Chekwa as a potential free from the start, and our usage requires we have guys who are essentially a third man cover corner at our free spot

and have his height, weight, speed profile as well. I think this increases the odds of his seeing significant playing time this year, and we’ll need guys to step up. Still hoping Woodson will get them to bring ball hawking back to this Raider’s defense.

I loved playing Corner, however, my dream was to play safety....

I loved to hit, I don’t get why these DB’s can’t tackle, at Safety you get to lay the wood, that is the best position on defense..lol In my humble opinion of course. I guess growing up wanting to play like Jack Tatum encourages a person to hit and tackle properly. There is nothing more embarrassing than missing a tackle, it makes no sense if you are in position to make the stop. And believe me when you go back and watch film and you see people afraid to hit its embarrassing as hell, because you are straight getting laughed at…lol Though its no laughing matter and for that money everyone should be ready to hit…Its nuts…Go Raiders….

Back When We Played Dual Roles...For Me "HB"-n-"CB"....That Helps You Prepare...

Playing “CB” helped me to understand how to use the stiff arm to get free from a tackle because it was done to me or how/when to use that spin move…Playing “HB” helped me to know how to keep from getting Juked and how to stay in position for the takedown…

Than there were other little things that also came to me as a result…

I was small so invariably players would hit me high when I was the ball carrier…Coming from behind…I than learned that they would usually 1st put a hand on my outside shoulder or hip/waist and try to wrap me up from there…That 1st contact was generally as right hand on right side or left hand on left side…So I would immediate cut in the direction of that 1st contact the very instant that I sensed the contact…Their momentum would carry them forward as my sharp cuts would break their containment…It was fantastic for me and frustrated the hell out of defenders….I loved playing “HB”….
