The Official Oakland Raiders 2012 Offseason Thread
- Thread starter MaC A$$ ViC
- Start date
Coach Hue Jackson indicated Monday that DC Chuck Bresnahan's job is in danger, calling the Raiders' 2011 defensive performance "unacceptable."
The Raiders' defense fell from 11th in the NFL's rankings in 2010 to 29th in 2011. "I haven’t sat through it all, but obviously I’m going to meet with everybody here soon and we’re going to go from there," said Jackson. Jackson has a ton of control in Oakland and will be able to handpick his entire staff. He also has say in the Raiders' general manager search. Jan. 2 - 10:37 pm et
i wish they would of fired him in the locker room yesterday, in front of all the players. fuck chuck bresnehan!
and i hope hue has no fuckin say in the GM search. We need a GM that knows how to build a superbowl contending team, not one hue likes.

If we didnt it would be plain stupid..This guy has a proven track record and is a hall of famer...They need to bring him in and give him full controll of what he wants to do, to produce a winning football team..Us fans deserve a winning team...DAMMITT
I dont want to keep changing Head Coaches becuase we need some consistancy around here..But if we get a GM like Polian and he said Jackson needs to go than so be it..
I think Palmer is a good pick up but him and the WR's need some time...Bush is solid and i can live with him as the starter, but just dont overpay the guy...Secondary needs to be revamped except for Tyvonne Branch...

yeah youre right i forgot bout johnson. he's better than how he played in buffalo. i would have tommy kelly and richard seymour share snaps, or have the 3 share snaps. but i dont think he's quick enough to bring constant pressure. hopefully it was just his sophomore slump cuz he had a good rookie season.
wimbley should be moved to DE in place of houston.

the thing that's crazy is when you go through our defensive squad... you think, man we have some talent on defense... but they just can't get it together... that's why I put a lot of blame on Chuck B
Total yards
2010: 11th in the league
2011: 29th in the league
Pass yards
2010: 2nd in the league
2011: 27th in the league
we sucked against the run both years... but the difference in our pass defense is insane. Obviously we had Nnamdi last year, which helped a lot, but still... shit is ridiculous

but nnamdi didnt fufill his contract needs in the least! and the few times he was challenged, and people threw his way he didnt defend the ball. The one thing nnamdi could do better than the rest of our corners was fucking tackle, if he got beat short, he didnt give a lot of yac, and no one really ever went deep against him... did he do well this year?
It's funny how some people are blaming Palmer.... Palmer played good enough to lead us to the playoffs. He had a few bad games/throws here and there but for the most part he played good. That pick Sunday wasn't his fault, Ford slipped coming out of his break and didn't even know the ball had been thrown. That was a timing route and Ford had to be there.
Our defense sucked because Routt was paid to be the number one corner and all he ever does is face guard, hold, or PI receivers. McClain is a lazy as linebacker period and Bresnahan has only two defenses he runs. Wimbley is a pass rusher, what is he doing on Gates in man to man coverage? What is McClain doing trying to cover receivers down the middle of the field? You'd think he wouldn't call that coverage after Detroit exploited it with Calvin Johnson having over 200 yards receiving.
