Raiders Played the way they said, is what their about.....SMASHMOUTH FOOTBALL !!!! Control the ball by the run, for over 200 yds !! Campbell played with total confidence in controling the Game, running the play action, making smart throws, and running when he had too !!!! Ball control was key, just 1 turnover, and time of possession, was DOMINATED BY THE RAIDERS !!!!

The Defense played a great game, especially the run D !!! I don't think they ran for 50 yards !!!  Had Phyliss doing his thing, and living up to his name : Cry Me a River, on the sidelines !!

Now will this team, and COACHES, Plz stick around for the rest of the SEASON !!!

BTW: Another streak, bites the dust !!!!!

Any ONE of these Plays, made by the Raiders in the 1st Quarter today, either by the Defense, or the Offense, wins last weekend's game against the FortyWhiners. Let me Take that back, not the plays, but plays called, would've won the game against the Whiners. The Big Question is, Coach's......Why in the HELL You Didn't you think to use these plays last Week ???

Good thing is, They kicking the Donkey's in the mouth 31-0, at the end of the 1st quarter !!!! Go Raiders !!!!!!

Let me start  by saying, I was not at the game, but listened to it on cable stationTV ch.987 KITS 105.3 !!!

241 yards rushing by Houston. Truefully I'm at lost for decent words, Because all I really want to do is cuss !!! Let me put it this way  Huff led the team in tackles. But from the replays I've seen so far, he missed, or whiffed on the crucial plays, Foster's 74 yard run in the first quarter. They had over a 140 yards after the end of the 1st half, and it wasn't until the start of the 4th quarter, that they went to 5 in the box, and shut them down !!!! Again with not blitzing !!! Tommy Kelly had 4 tackles, but on the big runs, he was playing 5 yards back again !!!! Houston was a nonfactor, who was dominated by the OT playing in front of him. Bad lines taken by Branch, again !!!! Even the annointed one, DeathRo got burnt repeadly by Houston's TE, along with Branch !!!

After all this, the game came down to a dropped pass, by Louis Murphy, while driving for a hopeful, tying touchdown. A drop pass that turned into a game killing interception after he deflected it into the secondary after trying to grab it back. When see this on replay, your going to want to scream, unreal !!!

When is this team going to put it together, and let mesay this, WHEN Is the Coaching Staff Going to put it together.

Houston runs a zone blocking scheme for their runners, even though there wasn't to many cut backs because there were running thru somne huge holes on our defensive right side(Kelly,& Houston side). HUGE HOLES !!!! Considering Cable "teaches" Zone blocking, you think he'd have some insight on how to scheme the defense for it !!!

Simple !!! Go to a 6,7, or 8 man front looks !!! Fill the gaps against the cut backs!!! Marshall, I hope you read this !!!! Take them out of their original play, make them AUTIBLE !!!! Jesus!!! It's not that DAMN hard !!! It's not FUCKEN rocket science !!!

After all this they were still in the Game. Plus side of things, they scored in the RED ZONE !!!

I see this team as being quite competive. Unfortunately I see this team heading for another coaching change. The big Question is........When is it going to happen ???

Marshall is a dumbazz for running a basic Defense, Same shit, Different Year. What the hell you practice multiple Defensive fronts for, and don't use them. Both of our OT's need to be shot !!! After getting blasted, Campbell punked out !!! Enough Said !!!! Smash mouth my azz !!! How about Mush Mouth !!! Going back to my post of, Has Tom Cable Done A Good Job!! Far as the Offensive line, HELL NO !!!! The way they played today, Jason Campbell might be shell shocked for the Rest of his short football LIFE. If any thoughts of having a .500 season, yeah .500 season this year, What ever San Diego wants for McNeil, GIVE IT TO THEM !!!!! Then CUT WALKER'S AZZ, And play the rookie Campbell at tackle !! I mean He couldn't do any Worst !!!! Highly dissapointed in Marshalls Defensive Calls!!! 4-3 Defense, All damn day with NO DAMN Pressure !!! Did Big Al overrule the Defensive Cood. Again !!!!

Now let me tell you up front, I like Tom Cable and what he has done for the Raiders, bringing a needed enthusiam, that was sorely missing for years by the previous coaches, since Gruden. But what has got my head, in this frame of mind is, what he hasn't done !!!! And it's real disturbing too. Watching the Titans game, and who they got for a Line Coach; Mike Munchak !!! Well if you remember him, played for the Oilers and blocked for Earl Campbell, and was mean SOB blocking, made me start thinking about Cable.

First and formost, Cable is a good players Coach. The players bust their azz's off for this man. A very BIG plus for him, which probably kept him from biting the dust last year. But what he was brought here for was to help build our OFFENSIVE LINE, back to respectability. And on this note. I have to say he hasn't done that. The 2 draft picks were good, not knocking them, but with the inactivity of a trade for an upgrade at this these critical spots, being both the tackle positions. The Rooks are the future, and with both of them playing different positions than they were drafted for. And yet NOTHING has been done to fix them most obvious of problems. Mario Henderson, sometimes good, sometimes bad !!! Langston Walker...NO Comment. My mother taught me if you can't say anything good....Well you guys know the rest !!! The Second Team Tackles............hmmmmmmm................ok....ummmmmmmmm, ahhh shit, if they have to play, OUR QB's are, or will be the Walking dead, and the bad thing is, THEY WON'T BE WALKING !!!

Now far as the inactivity on a trade, and now that cuts have been made, and still NO activity on working the waivers, and yes, I know cuts at the tackle position of anyone worthy, didn't happen, but the IDEA that no one was brought in is damn Confusing !!! San Diego made a deal for a tackle yesterday, since McNeil hasn't signed yet. 

Here my Question to the Nation: Has Cable told Big Al D., That we don't need to bring in any players, 

1) Well be okay !! 

2) He can Coach these guys up !!!

3) No one is out there that this team can use !!!

Now Just to let you know, I went at took a look at Tom's coaching history, and lets just say, it's amazing He's in the position he in !!! I mean REALLY , REALLY !!! I would add the resume, but i almost lost this post, and was lucky enough to pull it back from the cursor hell. ( you guys know what that is right, when yourcursor just does it own thing, and hit buttons you don't want hit, and your shit just dissapears) I call that Cursor Hell !!! 

Google Tom's coahing history if you havn't already !!!

Because the one JOB, that he was brought in to do, WELL, He Just Hasn't Done !!! Bottom line, He wasn't a very good player, his coaching career is say to least, has been marginal in sucess !!!

A good start in Dallas !!! The Defense should be more than capable of keeping us in GAMES this year. No doubt in  my mind about that !!!

DeathRo looks good in the middle, but more importantly, He looked comfortable !!!! Houston is what we thought he was !!!! NNamdi.... oh shit we know all we need to know about him !!! The BEST COVER CORNER in the league !!! Huff looks better each year !!! The Defense as a whole is looking better, PERIOD !!! From what I saw, I Iiked, except one little thing !!!

Kelly needs to go, period, point blank. Same shit, same Kelly !!! No penetration !! Was getting stood up !!! On run plays, blown out !!! Spend your money better, Big AL, PLEASE !!! He's a waste of space!!! Do us all a favor, and just cut his azz !!!

Offense is going to come !!! Campbell said, He had the jitters for the first time in years, and I'm ok with that !!! I saw what I needed to see from him !!! Someone that UNDERSTANDS DEFENSES, AND KNOWS HOW TO CHECK DOWN, AND MOVES INSIDE THE POCKET, WHEN HE HAS TOO !!!! I know it's just the 1st preseason game, but if you take that money you spending on, HE WHO SHALL'NT BE NAMED 2.0,( I'M not even going to use his name anymore) and maybe go find us an OL !!!! Worried about Chad, Murphy looked good, Bey is still a question mark, and put Miller(Nick) at the slot. Zak Miller is, Well Zack Miller !!! It's a work in progress, I know, but I like what i'm seeing, being the 1st preseason game !!!!!

Like myself, I think, WE, THE ORIGIONAL NATION, are very, very pleased !!!!
