Derrick Burgess is used to slow starts in the sack department. Over the past three seasons, including 2006, the former third-round selection in the 2001 NFL Draft has netted a combined total of only 1.5 sacks through the first two games of each respective season.This year, he had a grand total of zero 2010 pro bowl Vikings 4 Brett Favre jersey
sacks through two games, to go along with only six total tackles. Then the Cleveland Browns came calling...Despite an agonizing 24-21 loss that saw the relinquish a 21-3 lead, Burgess fell into familiar form, sacking Browns signal caller Charlie Frye twice. He also came away with five tackles, four of them solo. So much for those early-season struggles.Burgess, along with cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, who snagged a pair of interceptions on the day, keyed a relatively impressive defensive effort that featured a surprising abundance of playmaking ability. That's some good news for an 0-3 team that seems incapable of winning an NFL football game and has few reasons for optimism on either side of the football.Granted, the Browns are not exactly an impenetrable fortress when it comes to protecting their quarterback. They had given up 12 sacks through three games, and now sit at 14 sacks for the season, good for 28th in the NFL. But still, the Raiders are team in desperate need of individuals to rally around and emulate, and Burgess could be a perfect fit for that role.If last season is any indication, this is likely just a small taste of what is to come. In 2005, Burgess' first year with the Raiders after a three-year stint with the Philadelphia Eagles, the 6-foot-6 Super Bowl Champions jersey White jersey
2, 260-pound pass-rushing specialist tallied a league-leading 16 sacks. When you factor in the aforementioned slow start in '05, in which he managed to get only one sack through the first three games, it's scary to think of what Burgess is capable of during his second tour of duty in Oakland.Obviously, this is just one game, but there seems to be a pattern in the making here, and that's potentially great news for both Derrick Burgess and the Raiders organization.

"Raiders; Mitchell could get the last laugh in Oakland"
While second-round pick Mike Mitchell has been the butt of countless jokes for allegedly being selected too early in April's NFL draft, the rookie safety may end up proving the doubters wrong. If Mitchell can secure a starting spot in Oakland;s secondary, it would validate the decision by the Raiders; front Steelers 36 Bettis Jersey
office to choose the former Ohio standout.Although playing as a rookie is never an easy task, having arguably the best cornerback in the NFL on the perimeter will be rather beneficial. With Nnamdi Asomugha patrolling one half of the field, Mitchell;s transition to the pro level could be quicker than usual. Thanks to the tremendous coverage skills of Asomugha, Mitchell;s big-hitting ability could become routine during the upcoming season.In addition to helping in pass defense, Mitchell is expected to play a major role in stopping the run. Oakland struggled mightily in that category last season, ranking 31st in run defense and allowing 160 yards per game. Mitchell is excellent in run support and will play near the line of scrimmage on a regular basis.The news that Mitchell is competing for a starting position is encouraging, but the lack of production by fourth-year safety Michael Huff is a cause for concern. Huff was selected with the seventh overall pick in the 2006 draft and could end up second on the depth chart behind Hiram Eugene. After compiling 85 tackles and one interception during the 2007 campaign, he managed only 28 tackles and failed to pick off any passes a year ago.Mitchell has the capacity to play both safety positions, but barring a change, he will initially play strong safety. As of now, his main competition looks to be Tyvon Branch, a converted cornerback whose awareness at the safety position is unknown. Meanwhile Mitchell is a highly instinctual player, and could have the inside track on the starting job. If Huff and Eugene struggle at free safety, there could be a major shakeup in the Oakland secondary. Mitchell and Branch both display tremendous versatility and might find themselves on the field together if that Steelers 10 Santonio Holmes jersey
scenario takes place.Mitchell and the Raiders undoubtedly have a huge chip on their shoulder heading into the upcoming season. Mitchell has already demonstrated his abilities during minicamp and could end up with the last laugh during his rookie season.

"Is Burgess on the way out in Oakland?"
As the begin to mold their 2009 team, several key roster moves will take place between now and the beginning of September. One development could mean the end of the road for defensive end Derrick Burgess in Oakland.Recent reports show that the New England Patriots have been in contact with the Steelers 36 Bettis Jersey
Raiders about acquiring the services of Burgess. In exchange, the Patriots would send a second- or third-round choice in next year;s draft. New England is known for stockpiling future draft picks and may have dispensable selections available to give up for the once-prominent pass rusher.Burgess was a major force upon his arrival in the Bay Area, but his performance has been declining at an alarming rate. After compiling 27 sacks in his first two seasons with the Raiders, he;s managed only 11.5 in the previous two years. Furthermore, Burgess has missed eight games over the past two campaigns after not missing a game in his first two seasons in Oakland.As of now, Greyson Gunheim and Trevor Scott follow Burgess on the depth chart. It;s uncertain whether either player is ready to step up. But if Burgess is dealt, the Raiders must feel one of the two is on the cusp of cracking the starting lineup. Scott, who totaled five sacks as a rookie, certainly looks like a capable pass rusher. Meanwhile, Gunheim;s production was limited to just two tackles and one sack. While picking up a second- or third-round pick would be an acceptable return for Burgess, Raider Nation may question the value of acquiring another choice in the draft. Given Oakland;s history of 4 Brett Favre Purple jersey
questionable personnel decisions, particularly on draft weekend, extra picks might not hold as much value as they should.If Burgess is traded, it may be a positive ending for all parties involved. Burgess' career could be revived by catching on with a perennial contender like the Patriots, while the Raiders continue to build for the future and get another first-day pick in next year;s draft.

"On the inevitability of Michael Vick as Oakland Raider"
You read enough headlines from the sports pages these days and it almost feels like it;s already happened: Michael Vick reinstated to the NFL, joins for the preseason, penciled in as starting QB, takes "Wildcat" formation to another level. All we need now is some snarky comment from Warren Sapp and 2010 pro bowl Vikings 4 Brett Favre jersey
Vick-to-Raiders is basically a done deal.While Vick has been living the Leavenworth life, his portrayal in the media has slowly and not so subtly gone from execrable monster to forgotten nonentity to guy who just ;deserves a second chance.; Suddenly, this once-seriously warped dude;s return to the NFL is not only a real possibility, it;s an odds-on favorite to happen: Some sportsbooks are offering 1/5 odds *for* a Vick comeback.With Vick;s return inevitable, then, the next logical leap for the speculators ; and at this point in the non-season, we;re all speculators ; would be to guess his destination. In top five list after top five list entitled along lines of ;Where will Michael Vick end up?; you read ;" target="_new">; again and again.Whether blogger X theorizes that Vick is likely to get with on the Detroit Lions (come on), the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys (we dare you, Jerry) or the New England Patriots (eerily plausible), Oakland always gets a mention as a destination for the former jailbird.And even though head coach Tom Cable publicly stated ; well, OK, stated in the Contra-Costa Times ; that ;I;m not going to go there; when asked about a Vick acquisition, everyone knows who rules the roost with an iron claw in Raiders Land, and everyone knows that Vick in silver and black is all up to Al Davis.Question No. 3 for the Raider Nation, then, is one few fan bases will ultimately have to ask themselves: ;Do we really want to do this?;Well, do they?JaMarcus Russell is reportedly enthusiastic about just having Vick back in the league, quoted in the aforementioned (and aforelinked) Times articles that ;I can't wait to see him again. It was a good time to sit down and get his body healed. He's in tip-top shape and somebody will give him a chance."Vick is surely a personal hero of the Raiders; starting quarterback, and Russell might be beyond enthusiastic to play behind such a master. Plus points there, but aren;t these guys totally different styles of QB? Russell is nowhere near Vick in terms of mobility and is galaxies removed from him in improvisational ability; on the other hand, Russell has the potential to be one of the league;s best gunners with a rocket launcher for an arm. With Vick aboard, the sloppy Raider offensive line remains sloppy and gets lazier: the exact opposite of what Russell needs in order to develop something out of the man before 2013.Along with Vick, too, will presumably come the media circus, particularly as some bits of the media will be whipping other bits of the media into a frenzy. The obvious anti-Vick argument here says that no way do the Raiders need this sort of distraction this season. (Except ... distraction from what? Playing losing football?) An interesting tact for Davis and the Raiders to pull at that point might be to cut off media coverage of the team while it adapts to the incorporation of Vick. Why not? The more NFL stories you read, the more you believe in a great anti-Raiders mediawide conspiracy (or at least bias), so why should the franchise feed the jackals?Russell;s admiration of Vick;s skills aside, wouldn;t Vick;s presence make for a step backward in the development of the young offense? In the running game, 6 Super Bowl Champions jersey White jersey
Darren McFadden provides enough speed so that Vick isn;t needed to romp, while Darrius Heyward-Bey is designed to go deep and only deep ; Russell-level deep. Not only are the skill positions filled with players remarkably complementary to Russell;s skills (whoa, how did that happen?), but the former No. 1 overall pick should really learn to *lead* these guys, shouldn;t he?And besides, that stuff he did? Bad.Advice on a Michael Vick acquisition: Just say no, Uncle Al.

标题: "What in Madden's name happened?" -
内容: OK, so maybe the selection of Darrius Heyward-Bey at No. 7 isn;t quite what fans (or any outside observer, really) were expecting in the first round of the 2009 NFL draft, but consider the pluses. Not only was Heyward-Bey probably the fastest wide receiver in the entire draft and did Michael Crabtree 4 Brett Favre White jersey
appear to be a serious attitude-wielding prima donna, but head coach Tom Cable argues that the pick ;gives us the ability to throw the ball deep."I;m sorry, I can;t do this. The Raiders' draft was puzzling, to say the least. Never mind that I was halfway home to creating a solid conspiracy theory that had John Madden masterminding Raider personnel moves behind the scenes since the day after Super Bowl XLIII. Never mind that on the eve of the draft I;d bet my friend Paul (a San Diego Chargers pusher) $10 per game that Oakland finished higher than San Diego in 2009. This bunch of selections makes it look as though Al Davis set his Madden ; the game, not the man ; to ;Auto Draft;; how else to explain the logic behind some of these picks?Heyward-Bey has been thoroughly trashed since about two seconds after the pick was announced; the nation was immediately given voice on the Maryland wide receiver by ESPN;s Cris Carter, who ranted thoroughly, stating, ;...He had games when he didn't even catch a ball. So how's that going to help JaMarcus (Russell)? If he can't catch a ball in an ACC game, he gets to the National Football League, now you know they have a reason to make him disappear. It's easy to take a receiver out of a game, and a receiver does not help a young quarterback that much,; et cetera. Not everyone is a Raider hater, right, ;Nation? Bad pick.Second-rounder Michael Mitchell is notable for two characteristics already in his young NFL career: the alliteration of his name and the veritable shock across football land at this pick. Seriously, what happened here? Did Davis & Co. panic at seeing Louis Delmas and Patrick Chung go off the board at Nos. 33 and 34? (And then ; gasp ; Alphonso Smith at No. 37!) Does Cable really dislike Michael Huff and Rashad Baker so much that he;s willing to take a fifth-round talent in the second? You could argue that because Mitchell came to Oakland along with fourth- and sixth-round selections for ;merely; a second-round pick, the Raiders made out decently here, but I wouldn;t. Bad pick.Then there;s Louis Murphy out of University of Florida, another speedster to play WR. The book on Murphy is pretty compelling stuff, and you can bet NFL scouts are making note of this receiver;s background as a QB with extensive experience in T formations. Just run the "Wildcat," baby! What;s worrisome about the Murphy choice, along with the Heyward-Bey addition and Cable;s stated intention not to sign any more free-agent receivers, is the amount of responsibility this guy will immediately have to assume.While the official profile ;link just above; has Murphy ;projected as a solid No. 3 wideout,; the guy caught just 75 passes in his college career, 73 in his final two seasons. Assuming Javon Walker is over, Murphy is guaranteed to have to catch more than 37 passes and one wonders if he;s up to the job. Risky pick.Hopes for the pass rush in 2009 have now been pinned in part on the excellently named duo of Stryker Sulak (who despite rumors, is not actually of Romulan descent) and Slade Norris, who ultimately came over in the Samson Satele deal. Both OLB Norris and DE Sulak are known for the play coming off the Steelers 6 Super Bowl Champions jersey
edge. If there is optimism to be had about the Raiders; 2009 draft, it is to be found here. These could be genius picks ; and, unless one is at least a viable part-time starter, possibly too-little, too-late picks ; but who can be optimistic after Oakland;s draft debacle?The moral of the story: Never bet before draft weekend.

Ted Washington Ron Stone Denard Walker
It's amazing what you can do in just 24 hours. Thursday was a busy day for , as they reduced their roster size, saved themselves nearly $9 million, and added a new face to their coaching staff.To climb a $23.6 million cap hole, Oakland showed three veterans the door on Thursday: defensive tackle Ted Washington, guard Ron Stone, and cornerback Denard Walker.With their release of 14-year veteran Ted Washington, Oakland became 365 pounds lighter and $4.747 million richer. In his two-year tenure with Oakland, Washington tallied 88 tackles and three sacks-all three of which came in 2004. He provided a strong presence on the line for his 32-game duration with the Raiders; however, his 37-year old age was highly apparent. In 2004, the ' rush defense ranked 22nd in the NFL, giving up 125.8 yards per game. In 2005, they dropped to 25th, giving up 128.1 yards per game.Washington also received the company of guard Ron Stone and cornerback Denard Walker. Like Washington, Stone and Walker were given two years to prove themselves in Oakland before their release. Stone played in 21 of 32 games with Oakland and proved to be fairly dependable when uninjured, but not worthy of $3.08 million at the ripe age of 34. Denard Walker, the youngest of the cuts at 32 years old, would have counted $4.59 million against Oakland in 2006. In 2004 with Oakland, Walker was a reliable backup-registering 44 tackles, five pass deflections, and one interception. However, in 2005 he was forced out of the picture by rookies Fabian Washington and Stanford Routt, contributing just three tackles in nine games of action.With the NFL's new extended deadline set, Oakland will have until Sunday night at midnight to cut another $14.8 million of cap room from their roster.In addition to these three player cuts, the Raiders found themselves a quarterback's coach on Thursday. To take over for John Shoop, who was reallocated to tight end duties, the Raiders acquired Michigan State assistant coach Jim McElwain. McElwain served his last three years as an assistant head coach, wide receivers, and special teams coach at Michigan State. Although he was not a quarterback's coach at MSU, he earned experience at the position with Eastern Washington from 1987-1994 and with Montana State from 1995-1999.Nevertheless, what fans really want to know is: was he introduced to Kerry Collins? It could be hours, or even a couple of days, before the anxious Raider Nation gets their answer.

OL + Youth + Knapp and Cable = Wins in 2008
Most improved Raider in 2007? That's a no-brainer; how about the entire offensive line? Kudos to Barry Sims, Robert Gallery, Jeremy Newberry, Cooper Carlisle, Cornell Green, Paul McQuistan, and Chris Morris. 6 Super Bowl Champions jersey black jersey
After the laughingstock that was Oakland "protection" in ugly 2006, Lane Kiffin brought in offensive coordinator Greg Knapp and O-line coach Tom Cable to fix the unit. Though keeping essentially the same personnel, Knapp's system favors smarts-over-muscles guys like Sims and Carlisle. (Someday Mario Henderson will thrive in this scheme, too.)Newberry made for quite a pleasant surprise in coming back from three consecutive seasons mostly on injured reserve. Though those trouble knees got dinged up again, Newberry still managed to suit up for 14 games at center. Adding the excellent abilities of second-round tight end Zach Miller was huge for pass protection and run blocking this past season as well. And who knew Gallery was this good? Such praise for a unit that gave up 43 sacks and whose offense ranked just 25th? Sure, because the positive spin here is that nearly two sacks were shaved per game by these guys in 2007, enviable improvement for any team. (Just ask the Detroit Lions.) Congrats to Knapp and Cable, then, two near-miracle workers who took ... well, whatever it was Art Shell and Tom Walsh thought they were doing and turned it into something that sometimes ran slickly and quickly.However, there is still quite a bit of progress that needs to be made.Henderson and McQuistan ought to see more playing time, and now that sanity has reared its head vis-à-vis the re-signing of Justin Fargas, the Oakland brass can concentrate on giving Cable a few more bodies (and minds) to work with. 2010 pro bowl Vikings 4 Brett Favre jersey
It says here that Knapp plus youth equals surprisingly potent offense. To the Raider Nation: Cross your fingers for Jake Long in silver and black next season or maybe even Ryan Clady. Good things are afoot here.Watching the line throughout the year at
