Week 9 Raiders News

[jatfly]

THIS SUX WE NEED HIM THIS GAME. I THINK WE CAN WIN THIS, BUT WITHOUT CURRY I DON'T FEEL AS GOOD.
Ronald Curry-WR-Raiders Oct. 31 - 10:32 pm

ESPN's John Clayton reports there's a "decent chance" Ronald Curry (foot) could miss Sunday's game against the Texans.
Curry was unable to finish Wednesday's practice. The Raiders are the NFL's thinnest team at wideout, with only rookie Johnnie Lee Higgins and recent signee Tim Dwight as backups behind Jerry Porter and Curry. Check how the week goes, but Curry could wind up as a game-time decision in Week 9.



The Raiders are expected to be without DT Gerard Warren and SLB Sam Williams again this week.
Oakland's run defense hasn't been any better with Warren and Williams in the lineup, but the former's continued absence has hurt the team's pass rush. Warren was leading the Raiders in sacks before getting injured.




Josh McCown took snaps with the Raiders' first team on Wednesday.
He ran the scout team last week, so the Raiders may be giving him a shot to push Daunte Culpepper. It'd be good news for Ronald Curry's owners.



Michael Bush (PUP, leg) began practicing with the Raiders Wednesday. The rookie from Louisville worked with the Raiders' scout team. If he's activated within the next three weeks, Bush could see a few touches, but is only worth keeping on dynasty league rosters. He's still not 100 percent.



Dominic Rhodes is expected to remain a part-time kick returner with the Raiders.
He's only going to get playing time if LaMont Jordan or Justin Fargas get hurt



Raiders DE Tommy Kelly will undergo surgery on a torn ACL. He will miss the rest of the season.
Oakland's rush defense has struggled all year, and losing arguably their best player won't help. The Raiders make a great match-up for running backs over the rest of the season. Kelly, who has had an up and down career, will be a free agent this offseason and should garner interest from 3-4 teams.



Coach Lane Kiffin said Monday that the Raiders employ the shotgun formation often with Daunte Culpepper at quarterback because it provides "a better rhythm for him at this stage in his career."
In other words, Culpepper has trouble getting into deep drops when taking snaps from under center. Oakland used the shotgun 33 times Sunday, which limits the running game somewhat, and Culpepper hasn't had much success regardless of the formation.



ESPN's John Clayton reports Oakland Raiders QB Daunte Culpepper and QB Josh McCown split snaps Wednesday and Raiders HC Lane Kiffin isn't saying who will be the starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Texans. Players are also in the dark. The plays were so evenly distributed, it appears that Kiffin is trying to have a wide open competition for the job. Culpepper won last week's battle, but don't be surprised if McCown wins this one.




The Sacramento Bee reports Oakland Raiders new WR/KR Tim Dwight was back with CB/PR Chris Carr working on punt returns Wednesday. With WR Mike Williams waived, it might mean a bigger role in the offense for rookie WR/PR Johnnie Lee Higgins, who lost the starting punt return duties to Carr.




The Sacramento Bee reports the Oakland Raiders have signed second year DT Jonathan Lewis (Virginia Tech) to the practice squad.

Q & A with Raiders CB Stanford Routt
www.SRoutt26.com


Oakland Raiders cornerback Stanford Routt knows what it takes to make it in the NFL, or any other profession, for that matter.

It's a "fear of failure," he says on his official Web site, SRoutt26.com. There's "no force more powerful."

When you become part of a team whose secondary includes five defensive backs picked in the first three rounds of the NFL draft over the past five years, you need to face that harsh reality. Routt, a second-round pick of the Raiders in 2005, wasn't even the team's first cornerback chosen that year. He wasn't guaranteed anything.

That never meant he wasn't planning on starting anytime soon, though.

It took just two seasons and two games for the Austin, Texas, native to turn an immeasurable amount of unrealized potential into a reality. A starter of just four games through his first two years in the league, Routt has now started in five of Oakland's seven contests this season.

He hasn't wasted any time.

Routt is the only defensive back in Oakland's secondary with an interception this season -- a shocking truth, considering five different DBs had a combined 15 picks for the Raiders just a short year ago. Already in '07, Routt has snagged a career-high three interceptions. He has also registered 11 tackles (10 solo) and four passes defensed.


Recently, I had the opportunity to talk with Routt about his journey in the NFL, his interests outside of the league and his new Web site, SRoutt26.com. Please take the time to visit the site and show your support.

Carroll: You've had the privilege to play alongside some very talented teammates in Nnamdi Asomugha and Fabian Washington. How has working with such gifted players helped your development as a young corner in the NFL thus far?

Routt: I think it's really helped me out a lot in a sense. We all lean on each other for knowledge, techniques and so forth. I've learned a lot from Nnamdi in becoming a student of the game and Fabian from just reading and reacting to what you see. But we all pick up on certain things from each other because our strengths and weaknesses are different.

Carroll: You've been in the NFL for three seasons, and you've had a different coaching staff each year. Has that been difficult to adjust to? And how does the Lane Kiffin era compare to the Norv Turner and Art Shell regimes?

Routt: Honestly, it really hasn't been that different for me because our defensive staff has always stayed the same for the most part. Rob Ryan (defensive coordinator) has been here all my years, so the scheme and sets have never changed. And Willie Brown (my cornerback coach) has been there as well. So I've been fortunate enough to have a pretty stable orientation. Lane Kiffin has a player-friendly approach to his coaching style. It's full of energy and he thrives off of competition. Art Shell had more of an old-school demeanor that he brought to the game.

Carroll: Since you were drafted out of Houston in 2005, you've spent a lot of time working primarily as a nickel corner. This year, you're beginning to split time as a starter with Fabian Washington. When do you see yourself becoming a full-time, 16-game starter in the NFL?

Routt: I see myself as a full-time starter right now. 'Cause no matter what the situation is, I'm usually in the game. Even when my partner Fabian is in, I'm usually going to the slot playing nickel.

Carroll: How close do you feel the Raiders are to finally becoming contenders again?

Routt: The distance between your thumb and index finger. We are very close. We show it in spurts all the time. And if you can do it in spurts, then you can do it always. That's the way I see it.

Carroll: The team's safeties -- specifically fourth-year FS Stuart Schweigert -- have taken a lot of heat lately for not making the necessary or "big" plays. Being able to work so closely with both Schweigert and Michael Huff, do you believe they are being unfairly criticized?

Routt: Absolutely! It's very unfair. They try to scrutinize a tackle they may miss here and there, but they don't say anything about the many plays they do make. But that's how the media is -- always trying to find a story. That's why I don't ever look at a newspaper unless it's in the offseason.

Carroll: Growing up, were there any particular NFL players you looked up to? Are there any players currently in the NFL you particularly look up to now or have a special bond with?

Routt: Growing up I always looked up to Deion Sanders. I can't think of any corner in today's game that didn't. Now, I currently try to really study who I believe to be the top corners in today's game -- Asante Samuel, Champ Bailey, Charles Woodson -- to see what makes them good and see what I can take from them. As far as special bonds go, I have that with everyone in our secondary.

Carroll: Despite working under three different head coaches, coordinator Rob Ryan has been your defensive coach since your rookie season. How has your relationship with him grown over the past three seasons? Can you envision Ryan one day becoming an NFL head coach?

Routt: My relationship with Rob Ryan is great as far as I can tell. He understands me as a player and I understand him as a coach. You just always want to play your heart out for him. I think with his passion and intensity for the game of football, he would make a great head coach someday. He's got the pedigree in him.

Carroll: You ran the fastest 40-yard dash at the 2005 NFL combine, so you know speed. For a linebacker, how quick and athletic is Thomas Howard really?

Routt: In one word: Very! He makes so many plays from the backside with just sheer speed, it's ridiculous. And when he drops into pass coverage, he also has a pretty mean vertical. Hence he has four INTs through just seven games. And he's still only a second-year player!

Carroll: On your website, SRoutt26.com, you feature musical artists such as Cassidy, Nas, Kanye West, Nelly and Jay-Z. Are these the artists who prepare you mentally for the games on Sundays? Do you have any other special pre-game rituals?

Routt: Yes. I definitely love all those guys. You can throw T.I. and Young Jeezy in there as well. As far as pre-game rituals go, I always pray in the end zone and send a kiss to heaven for my grandmother.

Carroll: While I'm on the topic, are you excited for Jay-Z's release of his next album, "American Gangster," on Nov. 6?

Routt: Definitely. Will be there bright and early to pick it up. Very, very big fan.

Carroll: Tell us a little more about the Routt 2 Success™ Foundation and how people can contribute to this great cause.

Routt: Well, growing up as a kid I feel what helped me most from staying out of trouble was that I was always involved in sports and I was too busy to get caught up in all the negative things kids get into after school (drugs, alcohol, gangs, etcetera). And my program has a mission to provide kids with positive activities to do after school to keep them away from the pitfalls of being a teen in our society. It is especially geared toward kids with single parents. They have it the toughest. I just adore kids and I want to see them succeed in life and not sell themselves short in any way. Whether we want to accept it or not, they are our future.

(For more information on the Routt 2 Success™ Foundation, a non-profit organization, contact r2sfoundation@sroutt26.com.)

Carroll: Time to put you on the spot: How many interceptions will you finish the year with?

Routt: At least three. I'll say that much ...

Michael Bush (PUP, leg) began practicing with the Raiders Wednesday. The rookie from Louisville worked with the Raiders' scout team. If he's activated within the next three weeks, Bush could see a few touches, but is only worth keeping on dynasty league rosters. He's still not 100 percent.

I call BS on that. Everything i've seen would suggest he is 100 percent and has been for some weeks now. What he should of said that he is rusty from not playing for 18 months maybe.

[Raidermania12]

Routt: Growing up I always looked up to Deion Sanders. I can't think of any corner in today's game that didn't. Now, I currently try to really study who I believe to be the top corners in today's game -- Asante Samuel, Champ Bailey, Charles Woodson -- to see what makes them good and see what I can take from them. As far as special bonds go, I have that with everyone in our secondary.
I like this answer and hope he's serious about studying a lil' something in everyone's game on film. Dude is athletic enough to be a big play corner. Its just up to him to get his awareness and knowledge to catch up to his physical attributes.

What no mention for his effin team mate...How about some love for Aso.

[Raidermania12]

Aso i'm sure passed down solid tackling technique he learned from C-Wood. But Aso will tell you himself that most of the things he does well he learned from Chuck, so maybe Routt is reading woodson because Aso recommended that he should.

[S and B Executioner]

Well, sice Curry is gonna be gimpin and only Higgins, Porter and Dwight on the roster, Madsen as a make due WR.....I SAY GIMME MY DRISAN JAMES DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!

[BigTron]

The return of ALVIS WHITTED is coming....

[RaiderIVlife]

I say give me 40 carries with Fargas, Rhodes & Jordan.....

[Madturk]

Time to start using our TE's more.

[hawaiianboy]

I say give me 40 carries with Fargas, Rhodes & Jordan.....


Considering Curry may be out which leaves us Porter and ?? as WR options, I'm thinking we should be running a wishbone... McCown did run the triple option at SMU afterall... :eek:

[SoCalRaider]

Why we're having an "open competition at QB" between 2 players that have absolutely NO ABILITY to help us win at that position is beyond me... So exactly how is this helping Russell? What is the purpose of this season now if we're not willing to give Russell a single, stupid, meaningless 1st team snap?????????? This is our brilliant strategy of developing Russell???

At least it's a good thing we don't employ the open competition at RB. That could actually force Kiffin to start somebody other than the most injured, most overweight, most unproductive RB on our roster.................. and actually win a game.

From the way I see it, we're still not committed to using all our resources in this wasted season to develop Russell... and we're certainly not committed to winning next week if our focus is on QB instead of RB...............................


::cough:: ::cough::
ONE AND DONE
::cough:: ::cough::

[RaiderDestiny]

I say give me 40 carries with Bush, Fargas and Rhodes...

[SoCalRaider]

Has Bush been activated to play on Sunday? Either way, I'd be real curious to see what Fargas could do with 25-30 touches....

[BigTron]

Has Bush been activated to play on Sunday? Either way, I'd be real curious to see what Fargas could do with 25-30 touches....

Break in two. He isnt durable enough IMO.

[Raidermania12]

Break in two. He isnt durable enough IMO.

I disagree. The fargas of 3 years ago isnt durable. This fargas runs harder and stronger than that one. I remember him saying that he put more effort into keeping his body in solid shape every offseason to keep from being so injury prone. Started that regiment same year he switched to 25.

Doesnt mean he wont get injured, but i think he's proven that he's a much "stronger" runner rather than the finesse speed only guy he used to be(especially in the miami game where he broke tackles and took some big hits from from their safeties including Darius).

[BigTron]

i take that back go fargas

[jatfly]

THANK YOU ROCK & ROLL JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ronald Curry (foot) was limited at Raiders practice Thursday, but the Associated Press reports he is expected to play against Houston.

This is the second straight day he's been limited, but Curry is confident he'll go. The former North Carolina point guard/quarterback was at his best with Josh McCown behind center early in the season, so Curry owners should be encouraged by McCown's elevation to the starting job again.

[RaiderDestiny]

Break in two. He isnt durable enough IMO.

I agree with this. I don't belief Fargas would survive without and injury if he went 2 games with 20+ carries. It just won't happen. It has never happened and never will. He is solid in spurts, bur we really shouldn't try to make him something he is not. As with Culpepper, there is a reason that Kiff is unwilling to give Fargas the full time role.

[Raidermania12]

I agree with this. I don't belief Fargas would survive without and injury if he went 2 games with 20+ carries. .

Why exactly. He's built more durable than before, and imo bust his ass for 178 carries last year as a starter in an offense where he was running into brick walls all day.

last season23 then 18 carries the following game, 19 then 17 the following game. Not that far off from 20-20. And again i remind you he took a much harsher beating than he'll EVER take in this scheme.

Routt Emerging in Secondary
November 3, 2007
By Cory Sterling

Loyal fans of the Raider Nation, football analysts and opposing coaches keep hearing a new name emerge when discussing the improving play of the Raiders defense. With three interceptions in seven games, CB Stanford Routt. is starting to raise eyebrows, showing potential to be one of the league’s top cornerbacks. The speedy Texas-native has a unique tale; he was an outstanding track and field athlete who developed and adapted his skills toward the game of football.

The position of cornerback is one that requires agility, strength, intelligence, and most of all, speed. While attending the University of Houston, Routt excelled on the football field, but also made great strides with the athletic program’s track and field team. Stanford received the award for Conference USA Men’s Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Year in 2004 after winning the 60-meter and 200-meter dashes. During his four years of playing football for the Houston Cougars, Routt dominated the right cornerback position recording 136 tackles and seven interceptions during his 43-game tenure with the team.

Routt has incorporated the important skill sets and lessons learned from his track and field experiences and transferred them to the game of football.

“It helps by having the speed to go with a receiver down field, being able to hold up in the third and fourth quarters in terms of endurance because you won’t be tired as easily because you have that track pedigree in you,” Routt explained. “Also, track is a sport that is more one-on-one. It is a team sport at the end of the day but a lot of races involve individual effort. That’s almost like cornerback where you’re on an island a lot. It’s more of an individual type thing the we way we play man to man. Track and football have their correlations here and there.”

One of the most important factors for the development of a young player is the educational environment that surrounds him. This year, Routt has been working with Darren Perry, a new addition to the Raiders coaching staff. Perry has proven experience throughout the league, winning a Super Bowl in 2005 as a defensive backs coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Having worked with Routt since the beginning of training camp and having the opportunity to teach and witness the progression of the third-year Raider, Coach Perry explains the root of Stanford’s success. “He’s taken a conscious effort to be a student of the game. He is studying more and preparing more and as a result he has developed a better awareness of what’s going on which has allowed him to play fast,” said Perry.

Routt explains that, “You practice the way you play. The only way you can get better is through practice, you can’t improve on game days. It’s all preparation, you have to know what’s coming. In this league, the players are too talented for you to just go out and play on athletic ability.” The importance of being ready and prepared to play cannot be understated. “You have to get to the point where you know your opponent inside and out, that’s what my college coaches taught me. Whoever knows their opponent better will win 90 percent of the time,” said Routt.

Coach Perry is delighted to see Stanford’s effort pay off. “It’s a compliment to him, he has been spending a lot of time with Coach Randy Hanson after practice watching video and I think it shows.” Additional to being prepared, working hard in practice pays dividends in other ways. Perry has coached many players and knows that, “When guys work like that, they get results and it makes them want to continue to do it. As a result, you see him wanting to do little things like stay after practice and watch more video.” As a coach, Perry admits, “It’s rewarding to see something like that happen to a young man who is putting in the time.”

The connection between a player’s confidence and performance are usually tightly intertwined. When things are going right, the game seems so much easier. When things are going poorly, you can never seem to catch a break. The importance of self-belief is magnified for those athletes who play defensive back.

“Confidence is a huge factor,” said Darren Perry. “When you play in the secondary, keeping your confidence is half the battle. If your confidence gets shaken a little bit, you’re not half the player you could possibly become because you’re second guessing yourself, not trusting what you see which makes you a slow player.” With superb play so far this season, Stanford is, “Playing with a lot of confidence which gives him a lot of opportunities to make plays.”

Routt keeps a leveled approach to his success so far in the league and maintains an outlook that focuses on short term goals, practice by practice and game by game. Although he has made some great progress as a football player, Routt says, “I have to become more consistent in what I do, make more tackles in the run game and just keep elevating.” The learning never stops for Routt who believes, “I won’t become a finished product until the day I walk away from this game which is a long ways away. I am definitely coming along but am still nowhere near where I need to be.”

Routt started with raw physical talent, reflected in his tremendous speed, and brought it to the game of football. Next, he made it his top priority to work and study the game until he was performing to the best of his abilities. By practicing, working and studying hard his performance on the field improved which built his confidence. The next step….only time will tell. But in the meantime, Raider fans can enjoy watching this developing player mature and make fantastic, athletic plays every Sunday.

Blogging with FS Stuart Schweigert
November 3, 2007

Hello Raider Nation. I hope everyone had a wonderful Halloween! I love Halloween and enjoyed decorating my house with pumpkins, skeletons, and playing scary music. I had only a few trick-or-treaters and was hoping for some more. I remember back in Saginaw, Mich., the streets would be full of ghouls and goblins but I guess times have changed and that is a little disappointing because I have some great memories from Halloween. It was also nice because I flew my Mom out to the Bay Area for 10 days and I got to spend some quality time with her. With 12 grandchildren my mother has a hard time getting away but when she comes it is nice because she has some time to relax and enjoy the many great activities the Bay Area provides. I love my mother very much and love the time we spend together. Now that you are all caught up on what's going on off the field I know we need to talk about whats happening on the field.

The past two weeks have not ended the way we would have liked but we are getting better. Defensively we are getting back to the style of defense that got us to #3 in the NFL last year and our special teams are at full strength and playing with the confidence you need to play with to make a difference on Sundays. The offense is just fine and just needs eliminate the penalties. Josh Mcown is the starting quarterback this weekend and has looked great this week during practice. We have also added a speedster in Tim Dwight who can stretch the field vertically and can also help us in our return game on special teams.

Against the Houston Texans, just like every week, it starts with us stopping the run. When we can get teams into 2nd and long and 3rd and long there is no defense in the NFL better than the Raiders. It will be a challenge with players like Ahman Green and Ron Dayne running the ball but if we continue to improve like we have I know we
will be just fine.

I want to thank you again very much for reading and I hope to see you this Sunday when we take on the Houston Texans. Thanks again and GO RAIDERS!

Q&A with WR Tim Dwight
November 2, 2007

Q: How do you feel to be the newest member to the Silver and Black?

Tim Dwight: It’s a team that I have battled against before in my career but its good to be a Raider. Just being here the last three days, you start to understand that there is something special about the team. Starting with the owner and coming all the way down to the guys who work the equipment room, it’s neat to have that type of pride.

Q: So will there be an extra special feeling when you pull that jersey over your head for the first time come Sunday?

Tim Dwight: Yeah, it’s going to be fun out there. Just getting back to playing in this league with the group of guys I’ve been around for the past three days. They want things to move in the right direction even though the record doesn’t reflect that. We have put in a really hard three days and we'll see if we can put it all on the field together on Sunday.

Q: For you personally, what are you going to try to do on the field Sunday?

Tim Dwight: I am a guy who likes to do things right and just being in the system for three days is a challenge to go out there and be perfect all the time. That’s what I think every player strives for, to be perfect on all your assignments. I am just going to try to keep relaxed and let the game come to me. We will see what happens.

Q: Can you recall your strongest memory of the Raiders before you joined the team?

Tim Dwight: I played the Raiders a couple times when I was with the San Diego Chargers. The games were always tough battles. I remember the Chargers had a great game in 2002 in Oakland. It went into overtime and we won. Later in the season, they came back down to San Diego and beat us bad on their way to the Super Bowl. Thinking about the game I played here was a great game, one of the best games I played in.

[R4Life]

Q&A with QB Josh McCown
November 2, 2007

Q: Did you just receive the news you would be the starting quarterback [Wednesday]?

Josh McCown.: Yeah. I was excited. Like I have said for the past two weeks, you just work through injuries and hopefully get back out there and contribute. I am just glad to get the opportunity.

Q: Are you moving as good now as you were at the beginning of the year? Is it 100 percent?

Josh McCown.: I feel good. I don’t know during a season if you ever get back to 100 percent as fresh as you were coming out of camp. But I feel good, I feel like I can play my game and do what I do. I guess that’s 100 percent. The best thing is that I know I don’t think about it when I am out there so it doesn’t factor into anything.

Q: What do you know now that maybe you didn’t know at the beginning of the season? Does sitting back and watching from the outside do anything for you at all or is just frustrating not being able to play?

Josh McCown.: The hardest thing is not being able to contribute. I think you learn and you watch and see the intensity of our defense plays with. I think from that standpoint you want to go out there and match that offensively. You want to be part of an offense and lead an offense. I think maybe that’s the one thing that has stuck out to me the last couple of weeks.

Q: Were you ever concerned you wouldn’t get another chance to get your starting job back?

Josh McCown.: I don’t know if you could say concern but I wanted to get it back. I was hoping for the opportunity but I wasn’t going to be down if I didn’t. I am excited about getting the opportunity and I just want to help contribute.

Q: Head Coach Lane Kiffin said that you and QB Daunte Culpepper. have different strengths. The offense changes when you are out there in terms of formation and strategy. Do you see you guys getting back out there and doing what you tried earlier on in the season when you started?

Josh McCown.: Yeah, I hope so. I think you always like to mix up looks and do different things and there are things we always do well and did well when Daunte was in there. At times, when you have to change personnel you realize things that you can do well as an offense. From that standpoint, I don’t think it will be completely changed but there will be some wrinkles here and there. Like you said, we are different people but at the same time we both play quarterback and are both in this system. That’s the main thing, just playing and managing the system.

Q: Any concern with the rust factor?

Josh McCown.: No. You just go out and play. Come out and practice and get yourself ready. Mentally put yourself as much as possible in the game frame of mind and the game situation and all that stuff. In terms of rust – I don’t think it’s there. I have been a backup and had to come in there and play offense in the middle of the game or had to play after sitting out for the first four or five games of a season. I am not really concerned about that too much.

Q: It seems like there hasn’t been a hint of a problem between two people who are competing for the same job. Did you talk once the decision was made?

Josh McCown.: Yeah. It’s just the way we work and professionalism and the way we operate. We both want the same thing. We want this team to win. Within our respective individual goals we both want to be the guy who leads the team to win. But you realize, if you’re not going to be the guy there is no point to be bitter and the quarterback room in general, the guys in there. I have never been in a situation, I mean I would never allow it to be in a situation where it gets bitter and gets awkward. You spend too much time together and you are around each other for a long time. To be in a bad situation like that, I couldn’t imagine that. Daunte has just been awesome. He helped me at the start of the year and I tried to help him as much as I could these past couple of weeks and hopefully we continue to work that way.
