Oakland Raiders Make New York Jets Look Slow, Weak and Old

The Raiders have had a few big wins since last season, but this may have been the most impressive. The Raiders have struggled against teams with powerful front sevens. They haven't been able to get the run game on track, and they had just been flat out bullied. The Raiders were the bullies in this one.
The Raiders were simply too strong and too fast for the Jets, and nowhere was this more apparent than in the run game (with a close second to their D-line). Hue's crew ran for 234 yards on 32 carries and added four rushing touchdowns.
Darren McFadden led the way. His 171 yards are the most the Jets have allowed to a running back under Rex Ryan, and he is just the fourth running back to crack the century mark against Ryan's Jets.
Enough cannot be said by the job turned in by this offensive line. They were all fantastic. Wisniewski played well beyond his years, Satele was solid, and had the block of the week on Moore's reverse TD run. And Jared Veldheer turned in one of his finest performances. He was great at the point of attack and awesome on the second level.
The great blocking was not all turned in by the linemen either. Kevin Boss was everything we'd hoped he'd be. When McFadden broke off long runs, they were started by Boss sealing the edge. Also, Richard Gordon got a few snaps at fullback, and did a fine job laying his massive body on overmatched Jets. The wide receivers also did a tremendous job of downfield blocking.
These guys weren't just great in run blocking either. They were stellar in pass protection. Jason Campbell was sacked only one time, and Darren McFadden sacked him when their feet got tangled.
Jump over for more....
- Jason Campbell stats aren't pretty. He was 18/27 for 156 with no touchdowns or interceptions. But don't let that fool you. He played a fantastic game. He made excellent decisions and showed excellent pocket awareness. He also turned in one of the biggest plays of the game with a brilliant pass to Michael Bush on the Raiders last drive. That was a thing of beauty, and it started with him creating the opportunity with his feet.
-
- Denarius Moore is making the awesome routine. His cutback on the reverse took two Jets out of the play, and his stretch and dive to break the goal line defied gravity. He also caught four passes and drew a PI on another.
-
- Had the Raiders signed Antonio Cromartie he would have been hard pressed to ever make as positive an impact for them today as he did as a member of the Jets. He had four penalties and the gaffe of the game on a fumbled kickoff. He then left the game with a bruised lung.
-
- Jarvis Moss was absolutely spectacular. He had two sacks, a tackle for a loss and a tipped pass. He showed off his athleticism by quickly acting to misdirections. He was a key player in stopping the effectiveness of the Jets bootlegs.
-
- Lamarr Houston had his finest game of the season. He did a great job sealing the edge and pushing his linemen back to disrupt run plays.
-
- The rest of the D-line: If Tommy Kelly and Richard Seymour weren't routinely amazing, they would get singled out here because they were stellar again. John Henderson was also absolutely beastly. This guy is strong enough to wreck three blocker on a single run play. Henderson is a classic example of a defensive tackle whose impact you can't measure by stats.
-
- Sebastian Janikowski! What a game for SeaBass. When Al Davis drafted Jano in the first round this is what he envisioned. Janikowski has been on a steady incline throughout his career, and he is now without question the best in the game. He has made 50-yarders a chip shot. The 49-yarder to seal the game was dead center and it hit the net halfway up. That was a clutch kick. Most kickers, if not all, in the NFL and you strongly consider punting there. The risk of field position is too much. With SeaBass it is a no-brainer.
-
- Rolando McClain continues to be up and down. He made some nice plays in the pass and run game, and he finished with 12 tackles. He also did his Death Ro Suplex Slam, and this time it was a tight end, but he still runs right into blockers too often. He also whiffed on a tackle to LT on the first quarter screen pass.
-
- Speaking of LT...I can't tell you how happy I am LT is no longer in the AFC West. If he played the Raiders every game he'd have a million touchdowns and a bazillion yards. Have a nice flight back to NY, LT. This very well could be the last time the Raiders have to play him.

The D was cringe-worthy in the 1st half....
But the obvious adjustments they made at halftime that enabled them to power to a few sacks, start figuring out Sanchez’s body language and NYJ playcalling and holding the dog-ass Jets to 7 points made this old dog breath easier.
The word in the preseason was LB’s, most especially the weak side OLB….and we still havent gotten there yet.
But we did embarrass Rex Ryan. And being on the east coast I enjoyed watxhing Asumgha’s mythology evaporate as he looked confused, slow and very mediocre being beaten over top by Cruz, and also seeing him taken out of a play when he collided with a team mate. I also had to smile seeing Z. Miller make 2 useless catches for the Seahags.
Oakland is the team to be on.

I think Mr. Davis may be physically ageing but menatlly he's still sharp!
He has the ability to find talent now he has coaches that will coach the talent! Hue is the difference for us right now!
Im glad the fiasco is over but Mr. Davis should not take all of the blame for some of the recent failures. The last few coaches we had were not doing what they get paid to do. Lame Kiffen was just trying to stepping stone us and blame Mr. Davis…
Tom Martinez former QB Guru
Tom Brady
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady considers Martinez his mentor and works with him every off-season to clean up his mechanics.
JaMarcus Russell
He also worked out with JaMarcus Russell prior to the 2007 NFL Draft Martinez has recently been interviewed by the Oakland Raiders as a candidate for their quarterbacks coach position.Martinez blames the Oakland Raiders coaches for all but ruining QB JaMarcus Russell. “He was never wanted there by any of the coaches,” Martinez told The New York Times. “The only one who wanted him there was Al Davis, he told them to draft him. He was the epitome of an Al Davis quarterback.”
Cool thing is that Al learned from this. Pretty sure Hue has also a say in the draft.

and that's why we took Pryor
Al believes Hue can develop him, and he doesn’t have the red flags JaPukeus had…

The alternative would be giving him #2.
"In football, I root for the Oakland Raiders because they hire castoffs, outlaws, malcontents, and f*** -ups, they have lots of penalties, fights, and paybacks, and because Al Davis told the rest of the pig NFL owners to go get f***ed. Someday, the Raiders will be strong again, and they will dip the ball in s*** and shove it down the throats of the wholesome, white, heartland teams that pray together and don't deliver late hits." - George Carlin.

Hateraide a plenty get used to it.
Half the time it’s people looking to elicit a response for lack of self…
An almost mirror image of last week
In that we saw one great half, one not-so-great.
The first half was not making anyone happy, as the Jets were moving the ball well, and the Raiders, after their first possession, were not getting anything going. I wasn’t writing off the game, but I wasn’t feeling that confident about the second half either.
Then, just like last week, the second half was completely different than the first, and this time it was in a good way. Adjustments were made, and the Jets ran into a defense that we have seen glimpses of, but not consistently. The Jets struggled mightily in the second half, particularly in the third quarter, to move the ball. Three sacks in that quarter alone speak volumes of the difference between the halves.
The offense also came back to life, with an excellent mix of pass and run keeping the Jets defense on its heels, opening the door for long runs by McFadden. It isn’t necessary to connect a lot of deep shots to keep the run game open, as long as they are there, but you do have to connect on shorter routes, and this is exactly what Campbell did. Moore is looking better, although I thought that they were trying too hard to force him the ball in the first half; take what’s there, and it will open up eventually.
Both kickers had a great day, although coverage on one punt was not so special. Still, the unit more than made up for it with the fumble recovery that sealed the game.
I’d like to see more consistency, but am still glad to see that this team didn’t hang it’s head after last week’s debacle. They could have dogged it after another fugly half, but came out in the second half with the type of play that they are capable of. Regular improvement is the Holy Grail of every coach, and the team is showing that in their play, except for penalties. All that remains is consistency…
The berserker is without honor; a true warrior knows and practices restraint
The ComeBack Started Late In The 2nd When We Tied It Up 17-17...Early Adjustments Were Made!!!
As far as in problems with consistency on the “D” we were without half our "DB"s is this one…
“MM”…Has been out!!!
“CJ”…Has had very limited duty…
Huff was out!!!
“DVD” was out!!!
Jerome Boyd was also injured I believe…
We were down to only 5 for our Nickle Package and no depth!!!
“FS”…Tyvon Branch
“SS”…Matt Giordano
“CB”…Stanford Routt
“CB”…Chimdi Chekwa
“CB”…Joe Porter
Jerome Boyd
deserves ‘cool’ points, for a timely defensive pass-play during a critical point in the game!
as mentioned above,
JC’s stats were not hot, however, he was clutch, never panicked, stayed poised, and move the ball. What doesn’t show up are 4 interference calls that keeps drives going. He tested Revis at least 4 times with deep balls that either DHB caught or no one. JC plays to win.
by raiders4liffe on Sep 26, 2011 9:30 AM PDT up reply actions
That D we only see glimpses of
is a D that is based in Zone. Once CJ left the game Bres did the first smart thing he has done all year and switch to a zone coverage for the majority of the rest of the game. It is amazing how much better we are when we play zone. Still give up a ton of yards but we are able to keep them out of the end zone. We play far too much man-man with a weak secondary and that’s why we only see glimpses of our D playing top notch.
Win Lose or Tie, Raiders Til I Die
I'd rather see a strong finish!
That’s the sign of a Champion! Win the Championship rounds. Points allowed in the second half 7! Not there yeat but looking better than they have in a long time.
We would all like to see them dominate every play that may be a little unrealistic. They earned the win, they wore down the Jets O-Line, it is a war of attrition up front! They have played physical all year that another great sign to the future!
Looking Ahead:
Houston plays Pitts at home and we get them the week after…That could be a good time for us if Pitts can beat the bastards up for us and give them 2 in a row…Then we come to their house and they be down for the count at 2-n-3???
Now the Jets travel to Baltimore Battered n Bruised so will likely drop that one for 2 in a row!!!…Glad we could be of assistance!!!…2-n-2 Jets tied with 2-n-2 Patsies!!!…Buffalo on top at 4-n-0 against Cincy…
I rather just be concerned with what we need to do....
AFC games are very important, so next week game vs. NE is huge confidence booster. Big time play-off implications down the road. Yes, our main goal is to win the AFC West and to sweep all of the AFC West teams again, but to belong with the big boys, you must beat some of the big boys. NE is still one of the elite teams in the AFC. I still have them better than Pittsburg, Baltimore, Houston and if they’re at home, they’re better than Buffalo.
SD is over rated, Chefs have fallen and since Indy vacated a play-off spot this year, why can’t it be us? Check that, I want the AFC West Crown. Make other teams come to our house for the play-offs!
Jets fan here
I can’t even make any excuses about yesterday. You guys just outplayed us in every way possible. I haven’t seen the Jets offense and defensive lines get manhandled like that since Rex took over as out coach. Congrats on the win. You guys have a scary rushing attack.
Thanks For The Props...We Were Fearfull Of Your "D" More Than Your "O" So This Speaks Load For Us!!!
Really gives us something to look forward to this season sense most of us wrote your game off as a loss very early on when the schedule 1st came out….Now we even think we can beat the “Patsies” this week!!!..Hows that for a complete reversal!!!
Thanks for the game and we really do appreciate the win…If we judge ourselves by how well we do against you than you know you were respected/feared…
strong comment
most of your brethren on GGN are blaming the refs, your OC, whoever…. the bottom line is that the raiders dominated the LOS all second half.
its hard to give the other team credit, I guess, when you’ve convinced yourself youre so much better that the only way you can lose is by choking.

The officiating was shaky on on both sides, but its definitely not the reason we lost
The team that wins the battle at the LOS usually wins the game. Yesterday was no different. You guys should be excited about your team. Looks like the strategy of picking the biggest and fastest players every year might be finally paying off. The Raiders were too fast and physical for the Jets yesterday, which is something I never thought I would say.
my take on your team
on sanchez, actually… I know he’s the “sanchise” and he has a history of playing well in the playoffs… but damn, the guy is just SO inaccurate. I don’t know if you’ll ever get where you want to be with him, unless he has a dominant running game.
I know the stats for him end up looking good, but a lot of that was at the end, and he was throwing to his all world receivers against a decimated raider secondary.
good luck.

I have always said that Moss might be a "second-coming of Tooz"
Although it is more of a fantasy than anything, it should still not be discounted. He is getting sacks, something he couldn’t do at Denver. But what is most important here is that often people expect a player to immediately start to perform and shout for his head when the good performance is not immediate. Sometimes players need time to develop and adjust to the new environment, and we also see this development happening with Jason. Let’s hope that this progression continues with Moss, Jason, and the o-line.

Let me clarify on Tooz and Jarvis.
I had mentioned in a previous post that Tooz was an outcast at KC and played with some revenge and scorn against them when he became a Raider. Analogously, I’m hoping that Jarvis plays with that same sort of energy against Denver, hence the Tooz and Jarvis comparison. Of course, for Jarvis to reach the fabled levels of Tooz is actually beyond everyone’s expectations including my own, but it sure would be nice to see him flourish as such. Anyway, I recall in a previous post regarding Siani and Branch that you said I left an important factor out regarding Stabler. Perhaps this might feed your cravings for Stabler at http://www.silverandblackpride.com/2011/9/4/2405181/raider-passing-game-the-vicious-lightening-fast-deadly-hydra.

Reading through your bullet points
I started to think of how badly Al Davis gets lambasted for his draft picks and signings – and deservedly so at times (JaMarcus, anyone?). But damn if Oakland hasn’t assembled a roster of smashmouth OL/DL types, an impressive backfield and WR corps, as well as the best kicking game in NFL history (Hyperbole? Only maybe.). I really like this team.
Anyone have video of bush's 28yrd catch to set up jano game sealing FG?
I’d love to see it, and I’m totally ok with him being a CLOSER, twice now, Denver and Jets, his 4th quarter big play ability has secured wins for us……GO RAIDERS……
I always thought he should start and help beat down the opposing defense, then let DMC torch them
but DMC has proven to be a such a physical force early, that you can’t really justify not getting DMC the ball early. If Bush got 30 touches a game, he’d lead the NFL in rushing. Unfortunately, DMC only needs 20 carries a game to do the same :)
Tis a great problem to have…and they’re good teammates who don’t care who gets the ball, they just want to win.

Makes sense to promote Sterling Moore considering the injuries in the secondary. Still need to bring in guys, so having guys on the practice squad who might be able to play would be a good move.
"Today I step into the shoes of a great man, a man by the name of Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho."
There are some former D2 DBs that have been great
Darrell Green was one. Danieal Manning formerly of the Bears, now with the Texans has been a solid pro, too, but he was originally a Nebraska recruit that ended up at D2 Abilene Christian, though those purple Wildcats have been putting plenty of solid players in the NFL like Johnny Know, Bernard Scott, and some other blazing fast WR whose name escapes me. They’re also a track powerhouse, so there may be something to that…surprised we didn’t take a flier of some of those players.

That's a questionable decision to say the least.
If he’s not retained on the main squad. Will have to wait and see how it all works out.
"Today I step into the shoes of a great man, a man by the name of Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho."
Maybe he S. Moore wasn't progressing
and Parker is a bigger player with wheels. 6’0" and 206 with 4.28 speed…developmental player for sure, but probably a bigger hitter as we’re looking for a legit gunner to replace Eugene…still, you can’t coach speed.

im gonna trust the coaching staff on this one.We havent seen enough of Smoores to say it was a bad move.

Yup no reason to doubt the staff at this point
I also wonder if they will try to play him in the safety role and see how he progresses. The size and the speed are always a trademark I’m good with that. Also it’s pretty common for teams to bring in and release practice squad players. Hue also stated that they will continue to improve this team whenever they find someone who will make the Raiders better. In Hue I trust!
very true
It’s hard to know what goes into a decision at this level, and the coaches know what they need in a practice squad player, and in that sense you certainly yield to the coaching statt decisions. Sure Moore played well at times, but certainly not untouchable. For me it goes back to the scheme, which is why I was happy to see Walter MacFadden booted, some guys can play it and some guys can’t. I think with Moore, there was at least a hint he might be able to do it. Certainly nothing to get upset about, but a curious decision all the same.
"Today I step into the shoes of a great man, a man by the name of Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho."
Awwww WTF? Saw the guy may plays against 3rd stringers but plays nonetheless. He was only a rook?!?!
The RaiderLaker
he also got beat by 3rd stringers a couple times
one for a TD and one on a 2 point conversion.We havent seen enough of him to question this move.

Well, next man up. Parker better be ready because Checkwa still needs work with his hips imo.
He can’t cover that well. CJ being injured and DVD too is a big hole. We gonna get a heavy doese of Porter and maybe Check.
The RaiderLaker
Chekwa will be fine
and i was very impressed with him in coverage. Needs to get his head around, and find the ball, but that’s about it, he’s more physical than DVD which will help on the bigger WRs. Won’t help much this week, though as the Pats WRs are smurfs compared to Plax. I’d try to use Chekwa on one of the stud TEs when they flex them out, especially if Mitchell and Huff can’t go. He’s better in coverage than Boyd or Giordano.

You still wish they would have paid Cromartie 10 million? Now you know that he would have been a huge waste.
Chekwa will do fine.
He probably had a soft spot for us since we offered him some dough and Al wanted him. Al fucked with his mind imo.
CJ is not any better than Cro. I dunno why Cro is a Punt returner also. I don’t want Cro anymore but I don’t want CJ either. They are both clones.

Oakland Raiders Make New York Jets Look Slow, Weak and Old . love this heading
Raiders actully bullied a bully. Hope everybody has forgotten about preseason that had doubts about this Raiders team.

For what it’s worth, I asked Jackson if he’s gotten any feedback from Al Davis on 2-1 start. Jackson: “I would think he’s very excited.”
CorkOnTheNFL Steve Corkran
The bully being built by Raiders coach Hue Jackson resulted in broken nose for Jets QB Mark Sanchez, bruised lung for CB Antonio Cromartie.
Sort of a repeat of last year. Teams were hurting after they played the Raiders.
Many losing the following game.

Wow no one is talking about the biggest improvement
NO OFFENSIVE PENALTIES!
Not a hold, not a false start, not a block to the back, NOTHING.
For once we didn’t beat ourselves on the field, and you can see the difference night and day. Had we been the same team that took the field against Denver we would have gotten our asses handed to us.
But we’re not, and while we still had a few questionable defensive penalties, we did the absolute best job on the line I’ve seen in many many years.
No one expected us to take it to the Jets like that. For damn sure nobody thought we could run the ball against them. We’ve had a history of being a great running team until we played a great defense, but I think we proved to ourselves and everyone else that those days are over. If we want to run the ball, WE WILL. And that wasn’t even McFadden doing it by himself. That young, inexperienced OL we have seems to be doing just fine.
We aren’t out of the woods yet. We got NE coming to town and I hope we can greet them with another sellout. When that stadium is packed and rocking like it was on Sunday there’s a clear home field advantage, something we haven’t been able to boast in awhile. Also with NE coming to town we are going to have our hands full defensively. I think they’re gonna spread the field on us but we won’t get caught with our pants down this time.
Hope Brady gets good and lubed up, because he’s gonna have some huge black dudes riding his ass down to the ground.

Odd penalties
there was some seriously random penalty flags thrown yesterday, against both teams. Think the refs really just wanted to get involved.
Rawr!
Holy f*cking shit!!
Madden 12 has roster updates every Friday and with DMC’s beast performance against the Jets he should be at least a 95 overall!! I’m also hoping Denarius gets bumped up to the 77-78 range.
Clippers own staples center!!!
well sterling moore
might have a promising future, but we need depth now, and if they released him and were gonna bring in someone that can immediately make and impact and help propel this defense now, I’m all about it. We really do need another solid DB with playmaking ability and experience…..

Faith in coaches
Has improved for me this year…looks like I was wrong for doubting why they didn’t sign some available FAs. Oline looks good, Secondary is alright…It’s mainly technique IMO. DBs need to track the ball better, and LBs need to tackle better. Fix that and you’ve got a good D.
MAN IT WAS GOOD TO SEE SANCHEZ ON THE SIDELINE WITH A BUSTED NOSE ALL TEARY EYED
Someone on the D line made him pay for eating that hot dog. Im sorry to say but i dont know how were gonna stop Brady with our depleted d backfield . I sure hope we get mm back and are rookies step up.

“Raiders offensive players have learned to fear the red dot.
It’s a small red light which appears via telestrator on video images of offensive players who don’t complete their blocks, courtesy of coach Hue Jackson.
“We watch film every day together and any time there’s somebody not finishing, he’s putting the red dot up there on you and he’s calling you out on it,” rookie left guard Stefan Wisniewski said Monday. “Guys don’t want to take a play off because they know their teammates will see it.”
Jackson said the red dots are being more infrequent of late, which isn’t surprising given the way the Raiders handled the New York Jets with a block party that helped power a 34-24 win Sunday."
I saw that too!
Shame conditioning. The Spartans used a similar strategy.

Hey you....

Did you go to the game?

It's a sack, guys.
I wanna see Brady hit the dirt multiple times.
Nintendo, Yoshi, and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic fan.
That was my initial thought with size and speed
Also CC is now playing corner so they have another safety out…
I wonder if he can return punts ...
Something about that picture makes me think that he can.
If we’re gonna bring up someone to shore up our ailing secondary it might make some sense to do so with a guy that can also return punts. I don’t think the coaching staff wants Moore doing it, really … nor do they want little Nicky out there. And neither do I.

I have a feeling Smoore was probably f*cking up
Showing up late, not learning the playbook, irritating the coaches … I somehow doubt it’s that the guy sucks so bad at playing that the staff feels he’ll never pan out.
I’m gonna make a prediction that Moore get’s picked up by another team who develops him, and he eventually ends up starting in the NFL.
But what I’m FAR more concerned about now is the status of our injured players. Are we getting back Murph, Ford, and/or Mitchell this week? ‘Sup with CJ, Huff, and Shaughnasty … we NEED those guys this week, big time. Going up against Brady with Porter, Giordano, and CC back there … that CAN’T work out well for us.
D-Line is (for the 2nd week in a row) going to NEED to step up HUGE in this game in order for this depleted 2ndary to not need to play way beyond their abilities (which, by definition, they can’t) to get a win.
On the upside, the Pat’s D is highly suspect as well, and I think this offense has proven it can go toe-to-toe in a shoot-out.
And this game is most DEFINITELY gonna turn into a shoot-out. I expect no less than 70 points to be put up, quite possibly more than 80.

I dunno he was pretty concerned about some new wheels his positivity seemed to fade a lil on Twitter recently.
I just think the Raiders caught wind of a guy 6’0" 200 that ran a 4.28 end of story… That’s video game stuff!
I honestly don't understand the love for smoore here
the guy made a few plays in preseason, mostly against guys who are selling tires now.
the coaching staff has been watching him practice for quite some time now, im going to trust their judgment on this one.
