Earlier this week Allen met with former Chargers and 49ers defensive coordinator Greg Manusky. Today it is being reported that Manusky his headed to the Indianapolis Colts to help in their rebuilding effort. PFT states that the Raiders could have interest in former Packers defensive coordinator Ed Donatell while another report states the Raiders have approached the Packers to talk to their cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt Jr. for the coordinator [...]

Dennis Allen Turns His Attention To Defense

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on February 1st, 2012

Manusky could be East Bay bound. (Photo: Kirby Lee/Image of Sport-US PRESSWIRE) With Greg Knapp said to be in place as Oakland’s offensive coordinator Dennis Allen can now shift his attention to his bread and butter – the defense. While Chuck Bresnahan has yet to be officially let go it is all but obvious that he won’t return as defensive coordinator. Considering the fact that over a year ago Bresnahan sat around for weeks as a defensive coach before finally being named the coordinator, this twisting in the wind act must be old news for him. When it comes to [...]

New Coach, New Team?

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on February 1st, 2012

Even though Reggie McKenzie is still struggling to try and conjugate a verb, our new head coach, Dennis Allen said all the right things during his press conference. Raider Reg, all sentences do not usually start with “guys”. Dennis Allen, the 18th head coach for the Oakland Raiders, is ready to take the helm. Dennis seems a humble but also a no nonsense type of coach. The first 5 minutes of his press conference was him thanking everyone in his life. Coach Allen says he wasn’t to bring back the passion and pride of the Raiders like the past. (So [...]

Greg Knapp Is Back in Silver and Black

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 31st, 2012

Knapp returns to the East Bay. (Photo: Kirby Lee/Image of Sport-US PRESSWIRE) Around Oakland the more things change the more they stay the same. You might think that all the radical changes brought on by Reggie McKenzie are the new hotness but in reality change is nothing new for the Raiders. Just checkout all the names that have changed in the head coaching position and notice the final standings to see where the Raiders have finished the last 9 years. Dennis Allen might be the newest of the new coaches but his first hire was not a new name in [...]

Dennis Allen Commits To Carson Palmer

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 30th, 2012

Palmer is primed to be the man during the Allen regime. (Photo: Cary Edmondson-US PRESSWIRE) With all of the changes that Reggie McKenzie’s arrival has already brought to the Oakland Raiders it was more than justified to wonder whether or not Carson Palmer would be the signal caller in 2012. Today, we got an answer to that question. During Dennis Allen’s introductory presser both he and McKenzie voiced their support for staying the course with Carson. Let’s just be honest though. There really isn’t any other way to go right about now. Hue Jackson placed such a high value on [...]

Dennis Allen Needs To Keep Al Saunders

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 29th, 2012

Keeping Saunders is a must for Allen. (Photo: Kelley L Cox-US PRESSWIRE) Tomorrow Dennis Allen will officially be introduced as the new head coach of the Oakland Raiders. Of the many questions he’ll be asked there is one that should be a short and to the point answer. Will he retain the services of Al Saunders as offensive coordinator? The answer should be a resounding “yes!” There is little doubt as to why Allen was able to win over Reggie McKenzie. The former defensive coordinator in Denver has a reputation for being a no-nonsense, discipline driven coach. As Raider Nation [...]

Mark Davis Hands Off With Reggie McKenzie, Dennis Allen

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 28th, 2012

This much we already know of Mark Davis. He has no desire to follow in his father’s footsteps. Sure, Mark is not going to let the Raider franchise fall out of the hands of the Davis family. That is something that we may never see in our lifetime. However it is abundantly clear that Mark will be an owner only. Unlike his father, he won’t be putting his fingerprints on all aspects of the franchise. The recent moves made by the organization have sent a strong message that Mark Davis is running the show his way. From the hiring of [...]

2012 NFL Mock Draft

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 26th, 2012

As it stands the Oakland Raiders won’t be on the clock in the 2012 NFL Draft until well after Mel Kiper and Todd McShay have successfully clichéd each other to death. Of course with the way that Reggie McKenzie has come into the East Bay with guns-a-blazin’ I wouldn’t put it past him to find a way to sneak back into the first round. We’ll have to wait to see how that unfolds. Right now we can at least begin to speculate how the draft might unfold as the order stands now. Now I don’t pretend to be a draft [...]

Dennis Allen To Bring Discipline To Oakland

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 25th, 2012

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re entering a very different era of Raider football. Just how different things will be remains to be seen. Sure, all of the changes to the coaching staff and perhaps the roster will make this a different team, but will the results differ? We won’t begin to know any of that until the team takes the field. Until then we’re left to speculate and debate. Currently simmering on the front burner is the unofficial new head coach of the Oakland Raiders, Dennis Allen. What little we know of the one year defensive coordinator of the [...]

May 17 Trial Date For Rolando McClain

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 25th, 2012

One day we may learn all the reasons why Reggie McKenzie chose to relieve Hue Jackson of his duties after only one year as the head coach. You’ve got to believe the manner in which Jackson mishandled Rolando McClain’s arrest during the season was one of the reasons why Jackson was shown the exit. After entering a not guilty plea and waving his arraignment, today McClain’s trial date was set for May 17th. No matter the outcome of the case Hue Jackson failed to properly discipline his young defender. McClain could very well be cleared of all charges but that [...]

Some Advice For Dennis Allen

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 24th, 2012

So, Dennis Allen has agreed to become the new head coach of the Oakland Raiders. Good! Great! Grand! Wonderful! Everyone on the bus! As a lifelong member of Raider Nation I’ve seen an introductory press conference or 8 in my day. More often than not it is the same old promises of winning, blah, blah, blah, improving, blah, blah, blah, discipline, blah, blah, blah… In order to help Allen on his first go-round as an NFL head coach, I’d like to offer some advice which I’d suggest he follow in his first year in the East Bay. Win or lose, [...]

Dennis Allen In The Driver’s Seat For Raiders Job

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 24th, 2012

Allen had better be ready for all that comes with coaching in Oakland. Today Reggie McKenzie was slated to sit down with Dennis Allen for a second time in as many weeks. If all goes well then Allen will become the next ex-coach of the Oakland Raiders. You’ll excuse my lack of enthusiasm. Naturally I’ll be rooting for Allen to have success. I’m just dreading yet another of these bland introductory press conferences in which Allen and McKenzie will praise one another then promise a Super Bowl. Yeah…ok…sure. We’ve heard it all before from Lane Kiffin, Norv Turner, Art Shell, [...]

Raiders Moving Closer To Choosing New Coach

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 24th, 2012

And then there were three…maybe… Currently it is believed that Reggie McKenzie has finally narrowed his list of candidates for the Raiders coaching job down to three candidates. The good news is that of those supposed three none are named Marty Mornhinweg or Mike Tice. McKenzie came to his senses and told the two men thanks but no thanks. In addition it is being reported that Pete Carmichael is also out of the running. So, where does that leave us? Through some patchwork journalism from various reports it would appear that Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, Packers assistant head coach [...]

Reggie McKenzie On Raiders Coaching Hire: “It Could Happen By Saturday”

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 23rd, 2012

McKenzie has got the Raiders franchsie in his hands. Reggie McKenzie has hit the Easy Bay running (or swimming if you prefer) since becoming Oakland’s general manager. He wasted no time in firing Hue Jackson but has since taken his time in searching for qualified candidates. With names like Marty Mornhinweg and Mike Tice floating around the term “qualified” becomes a relative one. But that is a different topic. No matter my opinion of the Raiders’ known candidates the fact remains that the business of football moves forward…rapidly. Already the NFL season is nearing its conclusion which means free agency [...]

Raiders Whiffed On Sterling Moore

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 23rd, 2012

I don’t pretend to know more than NFL player personnel executives. They’ve certainly forgotten more football than I’ll ever know. But that doesn’t mean from time to time a fan can’t out-smart a paid professional. Raiders were first to recognize Moore's talent and first to give up on it too. Many members of Raider Nation were completely confused by many of the decisions made when the Raiders broke camp and cut the roster down to 53. Among the most troubling of all was the decision to cut promising rookie Sterling Moore for underachieving vet Joe Porter. Porter parlayed a blocked [...]

Dennis Allen To Get Second Sit Down With Reggie McKenzie

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 23rd, 2012

Dennis Allen gets a second chance to make his best impression. It is hard to know which phase the Oakland Raiders are currently entering in the on going coaching search. With reports of Dennis Allen getting a second interview this week it would seem as if Reggie McKenzie is narrowing his list of candidates. Of course learning that Winston Moss had already interviewed over a week ago without any word leaking out it stands to reason that we have no idea what the thought process currently is. That’s just fine. Nothing new for the Oakland Raiders to be more secretive [...]

Mike Waufle Exits The East Bay

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 22nd, 2012

While the Raiders slowly interview candidates for their new head coach they’re slowly losing assistants from the previous regime. First it was Sanjay Lal who chose to seek employment elsewhere. Now it’s defensive line coach Mike Waufle who is making his exit from the East Bay. Waufle is reported to be on his way to St. Louis where he’ll assume the same position under Jeff Fisher. Waufle ends his second stint with Oakland in the same capacity having coached the silver and black D-line in the late 90’s. No real surprise that assistants are abandoning ship in Oakland. Absolutely nothing [...]

Winston Moss Interviewed For Raiders Job Last Week

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 22nd, 2012

Raiders, Moss interviewed on the down low. From the moment Reggie McKenzie rolled into the East Bay it was widely assumed that he was going to tap Packers’ assistant head coach Winston Moss to replace Hue Jackson. Two weeks into the interviewing process and McKenzie had yet to sit with his supposed top choice. Or so we all thought… According to a report, Moss interviewed for four hours with McKenzie last Saturday. As surprising as that may seem what is even more amazing is that Moss did so while his team was preparing to play the Giants. As well all [...]

Few Job Prospects For Hue Jackson

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 21st, 2012

Will Jackson get another chance as a head coach? In his two years in Oakland Hue Jackson took a lifeless offense and made it a top 10 performer. His one year as the team’s offensive coordinator was impressive enough that Al Davis quickly promoted Jackson to his first head coaching position. One year as the head coach and one ill-advised press conference later Jackson is back on street looking for work. Thus far there has been little to no interest reported in Jackson’s services. Jeff Fisher’s hiring of Brian Schottenheimer to coordinate the offense in St. Louis ended another potential [...]

Reggie McKenzie Interviews Marty Mornhinweg

Posted by Chris Shellcroft on January 20th, 2012

Today Reggie McKenzie sat with Marty Mornhinweg to pick is brain about the coaching vacancy in Oakland. Through sources which will remain anonymous JBB has obtained a transcript of the conversation. Here is how it went… Reggie McKenzie: Marty, thanks for taking the time to talk about the job. Glad that you’re interested. Marty Mornhinweg: Thanks, boss. Can’t tell you how humbling it is to get the opportunity to replace a Hall of Famer like Art Shell. RM: Right…I think you mean Hue Jackson… MM: Hue…who? RM: Not important. We’re here to see if you’re silver and black material. So, [...]
