McClain, Chekwa, Johnson, Cartwright not practicing
By Steve Corkran
Thursday, October 20th, 2011 at 10:54 am in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders are relatively healthy for it being six games into the season. Even so, they still are without a handful of players as they near their game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Middle linebacker Rolando McClain (ankle), fullback Marcel Reece (ankle), cornerbacks Chris Johnson (hamstring) and Chimdi Chekwa (hamstring) and running back Rock Cartwright (knee) aren’t practicing today.
Chekwa and Reece are working with trainers on an adjacent field, going through agility drills and testing out their injured parts. At this point, it’s a stretch to envision either of them playing Sunday.
Given the Raiders have a bye after the Chiefs game, it makes perfect sense to give them two more weeks to recover and get back into football shape and then turn them loose for the final nine games.
Quarterback Carson Palmer was spotted throwing sideline passes to tight end Kevin Boss in the first portion of practice, as offensive coordinator Al Saunders looked on and dished out pointers.
Suffice, Palmer’s arm strength is just fine. His passes arrive in a hurry, in a tight spiral. So, cross off arm strength from your list of possible concerns.
The Raiders have not announced whether Sunday’s game is sold out. The deadline is 1:05 p.m. today. The Raiders have sold out all three of their regular-season home games this season.
The Raiders are in the midst of an eight-game winning streak against AFC West opponents. That is the longest such active streak of any team in the league.
Coincidentally, the Chiefs were the last AFC West team to beat the Raiders, and it came in Oakland on Nov. 15, 2009.

Either Mark wouldn’t allow that or there was some stipulation written up by Al before he passed that stated not to touch him.
…………..
Pfft. Stipulation. They should fire him. I doubt that could even hold up in court. As chaotic as the courts are today? What judge is going to hear a case about some kind of stipulation where someone keeps his job? I guarantee you he’d rule that they just pay Herrera his salary he was entitled to, and that’s it. And that would be fine. From there he’s out. That guy is an ass. He’s one of those remnants of everything that was bad with Al. Al did a lot of good things, dragging this Herrera goon around with him wasn’t one of them.

I don’t know about all the what ifs but what I do know is Gruden made this team relevant during his time as coach. The players loved the guy, the fans loved the guy and when he was coaching I “””expected””” Our team to win. That is relevant enough for me. The reason we ran the ball so much is because we had a heck of a running game with Charlie Garnner (Wolverine)Crocket, Weatley, Zach and the blocking up front. Plus, we had Tim Brown who was money on converting a third down. RIch Gannon could pick a defnese a part chunk by chunk so there was no flinging the ball 40 yards down field unless someone got way open, usually it was Porter.
Not to mention we had a defense that you could depend on to make big time stops under Chucky.
The team won for a while under Callahan but they eventually hated the guys guts.
Loved Chucky on Sunday’s!

Who cares if Herrera inherited a lifetime job with the Raiders? Fire him anyway, and let him sue. I guarantee you, as chaotic as the courts are today, the judge would just demand they pay him his salary, and that’s it. Fine with me. Mark should just pay him the money, give him a bunch of Raider memorabilia for being such a good fan, and ban his ass from the facility once and for all. Then do that thing where he points at his eyeballs then points the same two fingers at Trask.
October 20th, 2011 at 11:05 am
Also, with this being his contract year…you would think he will be auditioning for next year!

I think the RAIDER D is going to have a coming out party on the NFL. That was probably the last thing I was in disagreement with Al on these last 2 years. His micromanagement of the D was holding things back, imo.

Hey, where did Canuck go? He told me that Phillip Buchanan was a draft pick acquired via the Gruden trade, and that I should do some fact checking. Of course, if he had done some fact checking, he would now that Buchanan was not drafted via the pick we got from Tampa. Langston Walker was. After I pointed that out, he jetted.

Rob, I thought Herrera’s conduct with Kawakami was classless. We were in the midst of a horrible 7 year funk, already having enough problems getting free agents and coaches to come here, and he embarrasses the organization like that. Herrera is outright scum.

I actually agree with Sulli on this.

October 20th, 2011 at 11:38 am
I mos def see Bush slowing down. His carry average is bad (under 4) Last drive against Denver he put game away. Jets he made that 3rd down catch and a few goaline runs that reece or tonga or anyone could have made he made throughout the season. With Carson Palmer at the helm I don’t see Bush being a priority next year. Taiwan Jones will need to see field more and we will be throwing the ball a lot more.

Oakland is built on aggressive line play on both sides of the ball, not their quarterbacks. Kansas City’s season has been built on beating two bad teams.

They aren’t going to give Bush anymore carries if he keeps running like a girl!
I agree that something seems different with him this year, it’s like his heart isn’t in it.
I’d be willing to bet he’s not on this team next year. Should have traded him while we could.

October 20th, 2011 at 11:53 am
… I guess there’ll be some interest in that. I’m 1,000% comfortable with anybody seeing it and judging that moment for what it is. You take you best look at it and come to whatever conclusion you want. Raiders lovers will hate me more–I’d be disappointed if the Black Hole took my side. The more semi-sane sports fans might come to a different understanding.
I feel bad for Raiders employees. I really do. I understand the unique pressures and paranoia involved when you work for Al Davis. I talk to enough people who used to work for him to know.
I have a feeling at some point John Herrera and I will sit back and laugh about this. Maybe not for a while, but we probably will. I think he’s normally a very nice man.
It’s fairly entertaining when you can step back and see it from far away. It’s illustrative and it’s a little sad, again, in an always entertaining way. This is what the once-great franchise is reduced to?
But when it’s running up to you and screaming in your face and calling you a liar and apparently intimating that I was dabbling in counter-culture activities with a national NFL writer? HUH? In front of every local TV station, to be shown at 6 and 11 I would guess? Well, now!
(With Lane Kiffin beaming like a Cheshire Cat as he walked past us, by the way. Beaming like the happiest man on earth. Glad to give you a giggle, LK. I’m SURE Kiffin and I will have a laugh about this one… fairly soon. Oh by the way: He’s not fired yet, but it’s still pending.)
Oh man, that’s really really interesting to walk into the heart of the Raiders. That’s what happened to me just a little while ago and it was like dropping into Wonderland for few minutes–I could see what the Raiders see, I could feel what the Raiders feel, I was really tapped into the mania.
Man, it was trippy. Head-spinning. Hallucinatory.
Herrera brought me there by angrily confronting me about a question I asked Kiffin. I feel bad for the guy (well for BOTH guys), but Herrera’s the one who closed Kiffin’s Monday news conference by stepping up to me, shouting at me, calling me a liar.
I didn’t get mad. You’ll see the video. I wasn’t mad. I was interested: THIS IS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE
INSIDE THE RAIDER MANIA.
It was crazy. It was other-worldly, where normal truths didn’t mean anything. Yep, I feel like I know the Raiders soooo well now.
Here was my question to Kiffin: Given that there are reports (that Kiffin earlier didn’t deny) that Raiders officials have told him he’s going to be fired, given that we all know a Raiders official distribued printed copies of an espn.com article critical of Kiffin, given that Kiffin came to today’s news conference without a single item of Raiders garb…
… How isolated does Kiffin feel in this organization?
(I know, a long question. But Kiffin was there with me on it. He understood.)
Here was Herrera’s point: NO Raider official ever distributed such a negative article.
OK, since John is making a point of this, I can say that I know that it was Herrera who handed it out. I didn’t write his name at the time–because, again, I feel for Raiders employees and the grunt work they have to do for Al’s paranoia–but I will now.
If John’s going to scream in front of five TV cameras about it, I guess he’s volunteering himself right there.
I’m not the only one who knows what John did. By far not the only one. Oh well, in Wonderland, I guess John can alter reality. Fine. Wonderland is weird.
Here’s a bit of what John said–I wasn’t taking notes, but my reporter friends were taping it, since it was practically part of the Kiffin news confference, so here’s a partial transcript:
“You built a whole column on a lie!” Herrera said. “So did Lowell Cohn! So did your [REFERENCE DELETED BY ME BY REQUEST OF A FORMER BOSS OF MINE] Mike Silver.”
Yikes! Silver is a respected journalist and I don’t know what he does in private, but geez, John Herrera, Silver’s not exactly one of my confidantes. (It’s vice-versa, of course.)
Cohn, I can’t vouch for. (I kid, I kid! I respect nobody in this market more than Lowell, which you already know.)
I said: A lot of people in this room know the truth about the negative story, John.
I said: You’re embarrassing yourself.
“I’m not embarrassing myself,” Herrera said, “I’m embarrassed that you don’t know how to write a column…. Nothing was distributed in this room. Nothing. You are a liar.”
I’m not a liar. Raiders fans might think so, I don’t know. In Al Davis Wonderland, maybe, I’m a liar. But on this point, I will go to the mat.
OK, now I’ve got to write a story on Kiffin, though I’m out of Wonderland and it feels weird.
October 20th, 2011 at 11:53 am
I live in Chiefs country and I bet I’ve been asked at least 10 times today if Palmer is starting.

I hate it when media starts picking the Raiders. …. its like jinxing them…. fk all of them…. They all picked the jets..patriots. ..Texans. . To beat us… They got 2/3 wrong… I don’t want them on our side… fcuck them!!
October 20th, 2011 at 11:55 am
Paradise & Slash
exactly right-
Mr. Bush needs 25-30 carries to be effective most big backs do;
I expect the Raiders to run at least 60-70% against Kansas City no matter who starts.
We’ve had 190 rushes in 6 games, averaging 31 a geme with the most carries vs Clev (40) & Den (39).
[187 pass plays (7 sacks included)]
thats a near 50% balance
I expect at least 45-50 carries and less than 20 pass attempts.

Why do people care about/hate on Herrera so much? Isn’t he a media relations guy? So he got in Kawakami’s face once upon a time, so what? I don’t think he has a whole lot to do with the football operations of this team. Move on.
October 20th, 2011 at 11:58 am
For those who think Palmer struggled last season, here’s an interesting stat: Only eight other quarterbacks threw more than the 26 touchdown passes he had.
Palmer had some tough moments, but looking at his second-to-last game with the Bengals, a blowout of the Chargers, shows how good he can be. Playing that day without Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens, who drove him crazy last season, Palmer played free and loose.
He threw four touchdown passes and had a passer rating of 157.2. He had five pass plays over 20 yards, one a 59-yard touchdown and another a 44-yard completion. He was comfortable and he was sharp. He looked like he enjoyed himself.
The ability is still there. Now that he is with a team with young, impressionable receivers — not unlike the ones he threw to in that game for the Bengals — Palmer should be able to make plays down the field for the Raiders.

Bush is OK. McFadden has been on fire so he’s never been in games long enough to get into a rhythm and wear teams out like he has characteristically done in the past.
The catch against the Jets was arguably the key play in that win. The clock-killing drive against Denver was absolutely huge.
Can’t base anything on his YPC average because he’s often called on in short-yardage situations where getting even 1 yard is a successful run.

Actually, I disagree. He’s a bit of a jack of all trades. Think Mike Taylor is the media guy. Herrera was Al’s right hand man. How much power he had to make independent decisions is unknown and probably debatable, but Herrera is kind of a mysterious figure for the organization.

October 20th, 2011 at 12:06 pm
Tim Kawakami is a stone cold Raider Hater. Lets just get that straight and out of the way. I hate the way he comes on during the game chats and bring up the Niners just to piss us off. The guy is a total tool.
That said, I will get to Sullivans question:
Herrera was trained by Al, to be well versed in the entire organization. From head to toe. But namely on the football-business side of things.
While it is Amy Trask who handles the business-business stuff, and now Hue who handles the football-football stuff, there needed to be someone left behind that understood the salary cap and the way Al wanted the football administrative side of things ran. And that was entrusted to Herrera.
None of you may think he is credible, capable, or deserving of this position….but that isnt the topic.
You asked what he does. I just told you.
Mark – Final say so
Madden – Consultant to Mark
Trask – Business
Herrera – Salary Cap/Personel/Staffing/Scouting
Hue – All football related stuff
Whomever our GM ends up being, Herrera will be their right hand man. Herrera is a jack of all trades and seemingly an asset to the entire administration. Or at least that is what he was intended to be. How well he does this would require any one of us to be on the inside to see it for ourselves.

Hey DMAC twas a pleasure meeting you last Sunday! How did the game go for ya?
I lost my voice yelling at the Brownie bench, other than that quite uneventful.

Same here.
Had a fk’n blast dude. Them trees and B_auce’ Remy bottle had me high as a kite. lol
Still more games left. We can def. do it again brother

I’ll see you at the Denver game, going to hang with my brothers and watch the Chiefs at his house this weak.

I think that was a joke when the media said that Josh McCown was on our list of QBs. That was the genius of our organization hiding our top interest in Carson Palmer and giving the dirty media an early “Trick or Treat” surprise. There is NO way in GOD’s green earth we would’ve signed McCown. Not even a 10% chance. lol Just Win Baby!

It would have been nice to get that 2nd or 3rd rounder but I think we’ll need Bush come December, January and February (yeah, I’m drinkin’ the Kool Aid).

me too, but McFadden is a beast. #1 RB in the NFL
sad to see a talented back like Bush waste away on the sidelines making peanuts. Like JFB & Dakota put it, Bush is 27 years old, going on 37.
be cool to see him shine elsewhere, making moolah and younster T-Jones rip it up whenever DMAC needs a breather

Herrera is a Raider for life. GET OVER IT! The guy is as big a Raider fan and loyal follower of AL as the rest of us. He was hired at the age of 16 by AL to be his driver. AL put Herrera through college and has kept him a part of the organization all these years. I’m positive he has to know the business after being ALs right hand man all these years. Look at what Hue picked up from AL in a year and a half. I can only imagine what Herrera knows goes on behind those walls
October 20th, 2011 at 12:28 pm
I wish I could suit up and knock out Bill Belicheat and Tom Brady with a couple of hits. I can’t stand those dudes.
October 20th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
I think we need Bush too much this year to let him go. We could also tag him next year and do a sign-and-trade or a trade-and-sign or whatever, but it doesn’t seem realistic. Bush’s value was as high as it ever has been on Tuesday at 3:59PM EST.
We will likely get nothing for him if he walks. Maybe we go deep in the playoffs and he comes back to be a part of a winner.

La Malicia Negra said,
“Wow, here is some numbers to the worshipers of the republican media pundits..
Denmark is the top5 country in the world to make business. In the Top15, FIVE nordic countries are represented… Not bad for the such socalled socia1ist…”
1.) Lay off the idiotic attempt to convert anyone on this blog to your political position. You have just shown your pinheadedness by attempting to compare apples to oranges or better yet, veggies to meat. Denmark is about the size of Wisconsin, compared to this country’s 310+ million and it has the diversity of a place akin to Alberta. This lack of diversity allows the evolutionarily fit practice of taking care of those like one’s self (the extended family, the same ethnic tribe,those with common genetic roots, those with a shared language and culture, in other words, those who are the “same,” those who share common beliefs and values)to be used to help out others, a practice that breaks down and is not supported by the masses when their roots are not shared and when there is too much variety in genetic,cultural, ethnic, and language backgrounds.
2) Denmark bothers to develop and export energy, something you pinheads won’t allow us to do, an economic practice which contributes to its economic base.
Further, it allows employers to fire people who can’t do the job, which is why unemployment compensation is common. Unions exist but aren’t powerful–in fact are disappearing. Can’t do the job? Bye, bye. However, because most Danes, like most Northern Euros have an IQ above average, they can be retrained, unlike many of our own citizens and many of our non-citiznes whose IQs are 1.5 to two standard deviations below the norm and who continue to have babies at a higher rater than those with average and above average intelligence. (Yes, it IS about intelligence, BABY!)
It always amazes me that there are some on a football blog who whine and complain when their team sucks. They want the coach and his staff fired; they want this player or that sent packing when he doesn’t do the job; they want the owner to sell if he can’t or won’t spend the money to get a good team. You know what? That’s the way it ought to be. If a coach can’t do the trick, get rid of him. If a player can’t, do the same. If an owner sucks, boycott him and don’t give him your money. It’s about competition; it’s about competition leading to excellence and about mediocrity and flat-out incompetence. It’s about creating a culture in which people understand that unless they produce, they will be sent packing.
Yet the same people on this blog who understand competition and the free market in football and how it leads to excellence (yes, Belichek applies those priniples to his team, and Hue is attempting to do it here–produce or be replaced by someone who can do the job) are the same pinheads like you who don’t understand it on a larger scale.
You want to compare Denmark to a nation our size with all the differences between the two? That’s like comparing t-ball to major league baseball or like comparing football as played by 7 years old to football as practice as a business by the NFL.
Go read some history and some macro-economics. Go read some history. And for God’s sake, let that be your last damn political commentary, you idiot.

Terrell Owens is ready to return to the NFL.
The veteran wide receiver has been rehabilitating a left knee injury that required surgery. He is a free agent and agent Drew Rosenhaus says he will begin contacting teams immediately to let them know Owens is healthy.
Rosenhaus said Owens could play Sunday.
“We are open to any team at this point,” Rosenhaus said Wednesday. “There have been several teams showing interest thus far, but I won’t identify them at this time.”
The 37-year-old Owens played 14 games for Cincinnati last year, making 72 receptions with nine touchdowns. He ranks third in career touchdown catches with 153 and second in yards receiving with 15,934.
Owens also played for San Francisco, Philadelphia, Dallas and Buffalo.
Among those teams short-handed at receiver are Denver, Kansas City, San Diego and New England.

Just thinking back to our last game against KC.
Raiders brought the heat and paved the way for the Ravens to knock ‘em out of the playoffs.
Al was alive then (apprently, or least that’s the rumor…) and wasn’t a mass proponent of the blitz.
Last week with B running the D, Raiders blitzed like Hitler in ‘39.

October 20th, 2011 at 1:03 pm
which quarter of this Sunday’s game will Cassel go down and not get up…
***
LIB,
Week 17 against KC Groves, Moss & Bryant looked like Pro Bowlers
I think DVD will bend, but not break and he’ll have help over the top from Huff
Raiders 13
KC 10
Cassel stays in (battered & bruised) during the game, but they find out he’ll miss 2-3 weeks following the loss
October 20th, 2011 at 1:03 pm
Stay calm…Method. lol
October 20th, 2011 at 1:04 pm
FYI:
This weeks Raider game will NOT be televised in SO-CAL
Local dive time again….

I love my wife, but she planned my sister’s baby shower for this Sunday at 2pm at our house!
what was she thinking ???
She knows how much I love the Raiders and hate the Chiefs. I normally don’t even answer my cell phone on KC/OAK gamedays. It’s like the Superbowl in my neck of the woods.

Teams cannot play us and leave unscathed.
Someone from the opposing team will always get hurt, all because Hue called in the Code Black!

“Knowshon Moreno suffered a rib injury in Sunday’s loss to the Raiders.
According to CMR, he took a nasty hit to his abdomen area in the first quarter of the game against the Oakland Raiders and didn’t get back on the field.”

Leave’s one to wonder in which quarter of this Sunday’s game will Cassel go down and not get up…
“““““““““““““““““““““““““““`
I’ll put $5 on 8:32 mark 3rd qtr.
We beat the dogcrap outta poor little Colt, I was shocked to see him get up after Giadornio smashed him on that blind side blitz….
October 20th, 2011 at 1:14 pm

Got you down.
That blind side hit would make a great trading card for Colt.

One of my favorites:
Mario Williams Injury: Texans LB Out For Entire 2011 Season, According To Report
The Houston Texans are shutting down Mario Williams for the season, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports. It was reported on Monday morning that Williams suffered a torn pectoral muscle and his 2011 season was in jeopardy. It appears his season will end.
Williams suffered the injury sacking Jason Campbell in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders. He left the game and never returned.
Williams’ loss is a significant one for Houston, who has been dealing with injuries to star players like Arian Foster and Andre Johnson this season. He was the team’s leading pass rusher with five sacks and looked solid in his transition to outside linebacker from defensive end.
