Oakland, CA – How would the Raiders look the week following their stunning win against the high flying Philadelphia Eagles? Would they come out on defense and give the young rookie QB Mark Sanchez multiple looks and bring the pressure? Or would this be the run stuffing defense that almost silenced the San Diego Chargers in the season opener? The answer would be neither. The offense took four steps backwards from anemia and the defense predictably looked…well..predictable (again).

The Raiders elected to receive the ball after winning the coin toss and had to start with bad field position inside their own 10 yard line. Things would go horribly worng from that initial snap on through the rest of the game.

JaMarcus Russell’s lack of pocket awareness once again cropped it ugly head when the Oakland Raiders elected to receive the ball first and chose to pass the ball from it’s own 10-yard line. By the time Russell dropped back to pass, a defender from the right side of the line (non-blind side), stripped the ball to cause a fumble inside the Raiders’ 5 yard line. The Jets would go for it on 4th down after getting the run stuffed on three consecutive downs. The Jets would score a 4th down touchdown with another run to strike first 7-0.

The Raiders second bite of the apple would prove to be fruitless as well as they go 3-and-out; a seemingly all too frequent occurrence in Raiderland. At least the Oakland defense, on the Jets’ next offensive drive, showed some pride by forcing New York to punt. All would be rendered moot because after having temporarily sustaining a drive on catches from WR Todd Watkins and DHB (which brought on a loud chorus of cheers from the home crowd), Russell would throw an interception directly to a Jet defender while pressure was being brought down on him. The pass looked to have been intended for TE Tony Stewart, who was approx. 7-10 yards behind the defender. The ball would then be returned bak to inside the Raiders’ 5 yard line…AGAIN. This time, New York’s fanchise rookie QB Mark Sanchez ran the ball into the endzone to put his Jets up 14-0.

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse for Russell…after his offense marched up the field for multiple and sizable yardage runs, Russell elected to go for all the marbles by throwing to WR Todd Watkins in the endzone against single coverage with their stud cornerback Darrelle Revis. This pass too would be intercepted, (by Revis), for a touchback. After a strong defensive stand by Oakland, the Jets would draw up a fake punt for a 16 yard run by their punter to add insult to injury. Thankfully, the Jets could do nothing with the extended drive and would eventually be forced to punt.

Raider running back Justin Fargas would rip off a 35 yard run; about the only thing going right for the Raiders at this point in the game. Russell’s arm again would become a liability as he nearly threw another interception to an open defender on a scramble play on a crucial 3rd down play and would be forced to punt.

Fast forward to mid-way into the 2nd quarter with the Jets in possession; the Raider defense now showing signs of a slight breakdown with either tackling too high or not getting pressure on the QB. Of course, just as I type that, the Raiders bring the heat on Sanchez. But, (and you knew there would be a but), the Raiders would be called with a defensive holding on DB Stanford Routt to extend the Jets’ drive. New York would later score on a touchdown run to widen their lead to 21-0.

At about the 5:45 mark in the 2nd quarter, the Raider crowd would erupt in boisterous cheer and applause as QB Bruce Gradkowski entered the game in place of the long time struggling JaMarcus Russell. Gradkowski immediately threw the ball deep to WR Louis Murphy, but was broken up by the Jets’ Revis; a play in which should have had an illegal contact penalty against Revis for hitting Murphy’s facemask before the ball arrived. Gradkowski would later hit TE Zach Miller on 3rd down, but was short of the 1st down marker. In any event, he drive didn’t end with a turnover nor did the QB look flustered, lost, or exhibit a lack of football I.Q. and pocket awareness.

The 1st half would end shortly after a New York field goal to push the score to 24-0.

Gradkowski would man the helm for the Raider offense for their opening drive of the 3rd quarter and would become an instant sensation as he scrambled for 20 yards after having surveyed the field and opting to run it instead. In fact, Gradkowski’s quarterback play early on was perhaps the most positive QB play the Raiders have seen thus far this season. That sliver of optimism would come to a halt when Gradkowski would get the ball knocked away for a fumble when a weak-side defender hit Gradkowski from behind on a scramble play. he Jets would recover the ball. New York would then later strike paydirt on a deep pass for a touchdown with CB Chris Johnson on the man coverage to make the score 31-0. As a matter of fact, man coverage was back in effect for most of the game; a game plan that has been a disaster for the majority of the season.

The situation in Oakland regarding non-aggressive man coverage defense and blitzing from multiple looks is almost exactly what happened last season when the then defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was heavily criticized from not blitzing (5 times all game) against the Denver Broncos in Oakland. That night, the Raiders were embarrassed by Denver with a score of 41-14. QB Jay Cutler had al day to pick the man coverage apart. Following the game, former Raider Head Coach Lane Kiffin stated, “…Rob Ryan runs the defense and consults with owner Al Davis on how to do the job.” Ryan then responded, “That’s all on me. I put the game plan in, I run the defense, and it’s all on me. I just want to set it straight because I’ve been here five years and I don’t think people necessarily have the right story. I’m disappointed, but I just wanted to tell my side of the story for once because there’s so many other things that come out where I have to read it and take it and I just want the truth as I know the truth ….. I meet with Mr. Davis in the offseason. I don’t meet with him on game plans or come up with all this. It’s amazing when things like this come out when we have a bad week. Put it on me, that’s where it belongs. I’m the man that runs the defense.” (quote courtesy of espn.com)

Amazingly, the Raiders game out strong the next game and gave the Kansas City Chiefs hell by blitzing and showing multiple looks and won that game in an impressive fashion 23-8. But the defense went right back to man coverage the following week and lost in Buffalo.

Last week, the Oakland Raiders stunned the Eagles by pounding QB Donovan McNabb with blitzes and zone coverages that confused the #2 rated offensive team in the NFL following heavy criticism of Al Davis and the lack of any willingness to blitz heavy and often. The win seemed to sooth most critics for the week. But history repeated itself when the Jets came into town. The Raiders went back to man coverage and got 31 points put on them. (Whoops…spoke too soon. The Jets just ran right through the teeth of the defense to score another touchdown. It’s now 38-0 at this point)

The common theme is to play man coverage on defense until enough criticism gets dolled out. Then let he coaches run with their game plan. The team wins big with a winning gameplan, but then abandons it the next game with a rookie quarterback as an opponent who has looked like a rookie in his last few games.

Saturday, August 22nd

The Oakland Raiders would try to rally around their embattled head coach as they battle their cross-town rivals; the San Francisco 49ers.

The game began on a weird note as the Raiders would win the toss, but only to have the referee initially award the football to the 49ers. After realizing his error; much to the consternation of the Raider ad 49er captains. The Raiders would elect to receive.

On Oakland’s initial drive, the Raiders got only a single yard on a total of two run attempts and Russell threw an errand pass to WR Darius Heyward-Bey on a simple up and out pattern that would have been good for a first down. The Ball either was thrown too short of the receiver or Heyward-Bey ran too deep on the route. In any case, the miscommunication killed the drive and the Raiders were forced to punt.

Oakland’s defense looked solid on its initial stand. The one time the defense fell asleep at the wheel was when they allowed the 49ers to convert a 1st down on a failed Nickel blitz that sprung TE Vernon Davis for the 1st down. The Raiders later would force SF to punt.

The Raider second offensive bite of the apple yielded meager results and was forced to punt yet again. The Raiders defense would exact a bit of revenge as Raider LB Rick Brown would pick off a pass intended for FB Moran Norris that was too high to bring down. Brown would run the ball back 49 yards before being brought down by QB Alex Smith. Smith on the tackle showed some grit as he did on a previous play when he made a blind side (legal) block on Raider DE Greg Ellis on a reverse play.

JaMarcus Russell, this time in the red zone, looked much like he did on that Wednesday morning joint practice against the 49ers minus the interceptions. Russell’s passes were either behind receivers or way over their heads when he had them open in the endzone. The only pass Russell completed was a dump off to TE Zack Miller that essentially went nowhere. The Raiders even decided to go for it on 4h down. Again, Russell threw of target and turned the ball over on downs.

Fast forward to the 2nd quarter and the Raiders have advanced the ball via some smart running by RB Justin Fargas and a timely. The Raider found themselves on the doorstep of the endzone following a deep pass to WR Louis Murphy when CB Nate Clements was called for a pass interference penalty when he gabbed Murphy’s jersey outright and didn’t let go after he was burnt from the get go at the line of scrimmage. The hold saved a touchdown, but helped Clements lose a bit of hi dignity and forced him to eat crow. Especially after his comments last Wednesday about the Raiders.

The Raiders would then begin to start walking backwards on a couple of badly timed offensive penalties. The Raiders later would try an end around with WR Louis Murphy that didn’t fool a single 49er defender. Even CB Dre Bly was in on the play. The Silver and Black lining in that play is that Dre Bly got the wind knocked out of him and was on the field for an extended amount of time. The same Dre Bly that talked more trash than Oscar the Grouch after the last Raider/49er AM practice last Wednesday. I guess Bly won’t be able to talk much about the “best practice he’s ever had.” On 3rd and long, WR Louis Murphy would have the last laugh as he blew but Nate Clements and found himself in the corner of the endzone all alone as he waited for what seemed like an eternity as he hauled in the prized catch to put Oakland up 7-0.

Oakland’s run defense began to fall apart as they, on their next stand, to allow 49ers RB Glen Coffee to amass more yards and more key first downs that allowed Coffee to achieve 129 rushing yards before he first half was even over. Fresh off the long barrage, the 49ers then tried to punch it in the endzone to tie the game up, but failed on each attempt. I guess the Raider defense adopted a bend-but-don’t-break scheme where they will allow a runningback to gain over 100 yards, but not score a touchdown. (wink wink). The 49ers would then have to settle for a short field goal to get them closer to the Raiders with a score of 7-3.

QB Jeff Garcia would man the helm and with about 2 minutes left on the clock, Garcia would scratch and claw his way down field to get the Raiders into scoring territory (Janikowski range), but it all came to a crashing end as Garcia scrambled and threw a pass to WR Johnnie Lee Higgins that was tipped by Higgins and fell into arms of a 49er defender. WR Higgins looked to have given up after the muffed catch and walked towards the sidelines as the 49er defender ran up field. Thankfully an alert Jeff Garcia came up and stopped him from getting a large run back. The half would later come to an end as the Raiders held onto their lead of 7-3.

The third quarter porous Raider run defense was much like the first half Raider run defense, except that the 3rd quarter defense allowed a another 49er rusher to gain a hair under 100 yards (actually 97 yards) in just the one quarter alone. All would not be lost for the Raiders in the 3rd quarter. Oakland QB Bruce Gradkowski would team up with TE Brandon Myers. They connected for a big pass play and then on a touchdown pass to put the Raiders up 14-3.

Oakland’s defense would remain porous as they let San Fran run all over them on a drive that had eaten over 4 minutes and culminated in a touchdown. The 49ers went for two on the PAT to bring them to with 3 points with a score of 14-11.

On the Raiders next series, Bruce Gradkowski would get picked off after trying to get the ball to TE Zack Miller. There would be no return on the play, but the 49ers would get the ball on Oakland’s 29 yard line. At least the Raider defense would hold San Fran to a field goal as the 49ers tie the game 14-14.

History repeated itself on the Raiders next drive when QB Charlie Frye threw a high pass intended for WR Nick Miller and was picked off by 49er CB Carlos Thomas. The 49ers would get the ball on the Raiders 25 yard line, but this time, the 49ers would get in the end zone to take the lead with a score of 21-14.

Oakland would respond as QB Charlie Frye would lead the team 67 yards down the field that culminated in a diving touchdown run by a sprawling Charlie Frye whose outstretched arm got the football inside the pylon before going out of bounds to get them back to within one before the PAT. QB Charlie Frye on that play would also become the Raiders leading rusher with 16 yards on the evening. The Raider decided to go for two instead of the conventional PAT in order to avoid a tie and possible overtime, but failed to convert as the play broke down and Frye was forced to throw up the ball in the end zone. The ball fell incomplete and would be stuck with a one point deficit at 21-20.

Oakland still had a chance after forcing the 49ers to punt the ball after the defense had finally stiffened. There was an opportunity for Oakland’s WR Nick Miller to seize the moment and make a name for himself by finally getting free on a punt return and break the hearts of the home team. Unfortunately, the only thing that broke was Miller’s luck as he fumbled the ball on his own 26 yard line and was recovered by San Francisco. After having gotten a first down, the 49er offense kneeled on the ball to end the game.

The Oakland Raiders DID clean up their penalties from last week by half, but those penalties they earned were at crucial times’ often killing drives or extending San Francisco’s. Oakland also allowed essentially two 100 yard rushers by the end of the 3rd quarter and looked woefully bad at tackling. LB Kirk Morrison, the Raider’s leading tackler, suffered a separated elbow. He said that he’d be out for about 2 weeks. Obviously that is a conservative estimate. Expect LB Ricky Brown to take over the reigns at MLB. RB Justin Fargas has a groin injury; Rashad Baker suffered a concussion, and CB Nnamdi Asomugha still hindered by a heel contusion.

With the glaring need for a front four that can actually run block, I have the distinct feeling that the Raiders will bring in another defensive back because God knows defensive backs are the end all be all for run stopping.

Wow and double WOW!!!

Watching workouts, it’s clear that another Raider wide-out is trying to make a name for himself. The much lesser hyped Louis Murphy out of Florida is quickly showing just why the Raiders drafted him. Louis’ athleticism is quite evident and seemed almost effortless as he would make the difficult grabs as well as the easy ones wit ease. He also possesses the natural instincts to change his routes and come back towards the ball rather waiting for the ball to come to him. Add in his speed and his 6′-2″ 200lb. frame, and you have the makings of a legitimate deep threat

I was able to slow him down long enough to shoot a few questions to him:

Q: How was your practice?

A: Oh, I think it went well…it went very well.

—

Q: With your size and speed, what do YOU think you bring to the table?

A: I just bring myself really. Everything I do…everything I do for the game. At Florida, I was considered as a deep threat. Here, they have me doing a lot of stuff; deep routs, crossing the middle, everything. Right now I’m just learning the playbook and learning from the leaders on the team.

—

Q: Coming from college to the pros, what do YOU feel is the hardest thing for you now?

A: The hardest thing? The hardest thing…for me…is just picking up the playbook. You know, they’re throwing a lot at you real fast. The speed, I can say is kinda pretty much the same for me. It seems like…you know…just some faster linebackers and some faster linemen but on the outside, going against defensive backs and safeties, it’s pretty much the same.

—

Q: Now, you were talking about you were a deep threat, but a lot of those passes you were making weren’t deep but were very athletic and difficult. Is that an added dimension you’ve always had or is that something you have been working on now?

A: That’s what I did a lot of at Florida too. We had kind of a west coast offense at Florida too. A lot of the plays are the same but the terminology is a little different. I caught a lot of hitches, drive routes, drag routes, shallow routes at Florida, but yeah…whatever the coach has me to do, that’s what I am here to do.

—

Q: Down in Florida, you had one starter, but here you’ve got Garcia who’s the seasoned veteran and you have JaMarcus who’s been in the league a couple of years; talk about that dynamic because they’re two totally different styles. Are you able to adjust to the two?

A: YEAH man YEAH! Actually, both of them are just coaching me. I just call them “coach” really because Jeff Garcia, after every play, he’s talking to me. Every time I’m out there with JaMarcus, he’s talking to me. I really can’t just pick one style because I’m trying to learn everything…I’m just trying to soak it up.

Oakland Raiders Owner Al Davis

Earlier today, I sent a letter to ESPN.com’s ombudsman, Le Anne Schreiber.

I would like to claim columnist’s privilege and reprint it here.

It is regarding this article, and more directly, this quote from analyst Chris Mortensen:

In an e-mail to The Associated Press, ESPN stood by the report.

“The Raiders have lost the privilege with me [Mortensen] of running stories past them for comment,” the e-mail stated. “This stems from their history of denials to most stories I have reported — as well as others in the media — when those stories have eventually proven to be true. The latest example is I reported that Al Davis planned to interview Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride and, of course, the story was trashed by a team spokesman.”

As a veteran professional journalist, not just for Silver & Black report, but for several daily newspapers, I felt compelled to speak (as, apparently, did Inside Bay Area’s Jerry McDonald).

Oakland, CA – The last game in Oakland for the season and before Christmas, the Oakland Raiders desperately wanted a win and a win is what they would get and in BIG TIME fashion.

Oakland won the toss and elected to receive first and kick returner Justin Miller brings the ball out to Oakland’s 36-yard line. Immediately, the Raiders came out of the gates, first with a brilliant JaMarcus Russell scramble and pass to TE Zach Miller for 21-yards. Then, after a wonderful mix of runs from Justin Fargas and Darren McFadden, the Raiders were yards away from scoring their first opening drive since the last Oakland/Denver game. Then, to the delight of the sparse Raider fans in attendance, Russell finds a wide open WR Chaz Schilens in the endzone to put Oakland on top 7-0.

Regardless of the Raiders opening drive, the Houston Texans mounted a huge opening drive of their own; a mix of misdirections and bootlegs that ha the Raider defense well on their heels. It was clear that former Denver Bronco assistant coach Gary Kubiak knew he has the where-with-all on how to beat this Rob Ryan lead Raider defense. Kubiak would put that knowledge to use as he got his team within sniffing distance from the Raider goal line as he then watched his runningback plow his way into the Raider endzone to even up the game at 7-7.

Oakland later would prove, (at least in this game), that they were not a one-trick pony and found themselves marching down field and once again into the redzone. Because of a missed pass interference and an almost executed counter-pitch out to McFadden, the Raiders would settle for a field goal to pull the Raiders back into the lead 10-7.

Just when you thought it was safe to run to the bathroom or get a popcorn break, the Raiders’ special teams pulled a fast one. An onsides kick with over 3 minutes to go in the first quarter. Rashad Baker would return it for Oakland. Couple that with a first down, the Raiders again found themselves in Texans territory. TE Zach Miller put on a clinic with his clutch receptions and big runs after the catch. Had the Raiders actually had a better offensive line, Miller easily should have been a Pro Bowler this year. His ability is widely evident.

Again however, the Raiders found themselves in the redzone, but couldn’t punch it in and came away with a 13-7 lad following a Sebastian Janikowski field goal.

The Raiders defense then showed it could stop a dive and kill a 3rd down play and forced the Texans to punt after a 3-and-out.

The Raiders subsequently stalled on offense and would punt the ball away.

Now, the Raiders had the Texans backed up on their own 10-yard line. That wouldn’t last long as the Texans stormed 19 yards on one running play as the running back dragged defenders as they tried to strip the ball instead of wrapping him up and brining him down. Then after a 4th and 1 conversion, the Texans strung together enough plays to get themselves to the Raiders’ 35-yard line, but would get no further and would come away with a 53-yard field goal kick that cleared the corner of the crossbar and the upright by a mere couple of inches that brought Texas closer to Oakland with a score of 13-10.

The Raiders would go 3-and-out on their next (9-yard) drive and be forced to punt.

After a booming Shane Lechler punt, the Texans on offense would convert a 3rd down into a 69-yard pass and catch, because of a mis-tackle just beyond the first down marker. The receiver would get taken down on the Raiders 15-yard line. Thanks to some stout run defense from LB’s Thomas Howard and Kirk Morrison, the Texans were limited to a converted field goal attempt that brought the game to a tie13-13 with 38-seconds left before half time.

With 32-seconds left in the 2nd quarter, the Raiders get to just outside of the Texans’ 20-yard line, but because the scramble pass took too long to develop, the clock ran out and so with it an opportunity for Oakland to kick a field goal for the lead. Instead, the game would remain knotted up at 13-13 at halftime.

The Raiders would open the 2nd half on defense and would promptly put a halt to any aspirations of any Texans’ opening offensive drive and forced them to punt.

Oakland, on its first series of the second half was initiated powerful running by Fargas and nimble speed running by McFadden both for multiple first downs. One such run by McFadden got him so pumped that after he ran out of bounds, he could be seen violently pumping his fist and almost taking down Sebastian Janikowski who was practicing kicks. Jano would be fine as would the Raider offense after a couple plays later when Russell hit WR Johnnie Lee Higgins in the endzone to put the Raiders back on top 20-13. An elated Higgins could be seen doing the “Carlton Dance” in a celebratory dance.

On Houston’s next drive, they would find out just how hard the Raiders’ defense hit. Two big hits were delivered in time for Christmas. One would come on a first down reception as CB Nnamdi Asomugha put a lick on the tight end. The other hit came courtesy of CB Chris Johnson as he immediately dropped his man by putting a shoulder in his gut for no gain. The Texans would be forced to punt.

On the subsequent return, punt returner Johnnie Lee Higgins would run the ball back 80 yards for another Raider touchdown in front of a hungry and rabid die-hard crowd chanting “Raaaaaai-deeeeers” after the touchdown. This time, Higgins delighted the crowd with the “Humpty Dance” in the endzone. He also would demonstrate the dance to teammates on the bench. The dance-laden score would widen the Raiders lead to 27-13. The 27-points at this juncture would be the largest amount scored for this season by this 2008 Oakland Raiders team.

The Raiders defense also would tighten and give up nothing substantial on the Texans’ following drive and forced them to punt. (No magical return by Higgins this time)

Oakland’s offense on their next drive sparkled at moments, but didn’t find their way to a score and also would be forced to punt.

The Texans would get the ball next at the start of the 4th quarter. The Texans managed to gain a 1st down on a 16-yard pass due to a slipped Asomugha tackle. From there, Texas would string together enough plays to them into the redzone. With the Texans knocking on the door, Texas offensive lineman Chester Pitts committed a personal foul penalty when he took a big vicious swing of a punch at Raiders defensive tackle Terdell Sands that failed to connect. The penalty that backed them up 15-yards took them out of a touchdown chance as the following pass play was ruled incomplete just outside the Raiders endzone. The Texan who threw the punch was not ejected despite the manner in which he threw the punch. Houston settled for a field goal to make the score 27-16.

Oakland would make its first real mistake of the game when JaMarcus Russell fumbled the ball when an unblocked defender came free and tackled him. The ball was knocked loose as Houston recovered the ball on the Raiders’ 15-yard line.

Texas got the ball down to the Raiders’ 5-yard line and on 4th and 1, the Texans opted to go for it. Oakland’s defense would come up big as they forced the pass to be incomplete on an exceptionally covered pass attempt; much to the delight of the Oakland crowd.

Now, all Oakland had to do was to fight it’s way 95-yards to score another touchdown. With over 7-and-a-half minutes on the clock, Oakland kept the ball on the ground in an early attempt to run out the clock and at the very least, give punter Shane Lechler room to punt if necessary. The Raiders opted for the latter as they would settle on getting to their own 25-yard line as they would be forced to punt.

A low-lying punt from Lechler helped the Texans gain excellent field position as the ball was run back to Oakland’s 40-yard line. No worries though, as CD Chris Johnson picked off Texans’ QB Matt Schaub on their first play of the drive. Johnson got the ball back to the Raiders 45-yard line with over 4-minutes left.

With no time outs remaining for Houston, the Oakland Raiders converted on 3rd and 3 to gain the first down and burn some precious clock time. The Raiders would take the ball to the Texans’ 37-yard line at the 2-minute warning. It would be 3rd and 6 after the mandatory 2-minute warning timeout. Fargas failed to reach the first down marker on 3rd down, but would take their time to run another play on 4th down with 1:22 on the clock and fall short of the down marker (turnover on downs).

Houston got the ball with 1:11 on the game clock amidst a chorus of thankful Raider fans cheering their offensive unit for what they have been able to put together for “The Nation” this one last time at home this season. They put together a mini-drive as they got passed mid-field and to the Raiders 44 yard line. But with 17-seconds left, QB Matt Schaub would go down, SACKED, to end the game as the Raiders are triumphant for the last time this year in the old House Of Thrills.

Oakland would go on to win 27-16.
