"I think really just in general, I think some of the coverage aspect, are places he needs to work," Allen said. "I think he's done a real good job from a leadership standpoint. I think he's very instinctive. He's smart out there. He's taken command of the huddle. Those things I've been pleased with. Physically, I think as you look at him, I think what he needs to improve on, and he knows this, is a little bit of the pass coverage aspect."

Comment (0) | Share: Raiders | Rolando McClain issues apology Wed, 23 May 2012 05:08:42 -0700 Oakland Raiders LB Rolando McClain apologized Tuesday, May 22, for bringing bad publicity to the team following his recent conviction in Alabama for assault and other charges stemming for allegedly threatening to kill a man and firing a gun next to his head. McClain was convicted last week of third-degree assault, menacing, reckless endangerment and discharging a firearm in the city limits last week and sentenced him to 180 days in jail. McClain is out on bail and rejoined the Raiders this week at the team's offseason workouts. "I apologize for the bad publicity that has been put out there," McClain said. "It is a legal process so I can't talk much about it but I think in due time if the Raiders and the Raiders fans that are out there, we'll all see, it will all come to an end and it is what it is. I can't really talk much about it, but it will be resolved in the near future." Comment (0) | Share: Raiders | Want Denarius Moore to be a complete WR Mon, 21 May 2012 06:29:30 -0700 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said he believes WR Denarius Moore will only get better in his second pro season; however, in order to do so, Palmer feels Moore must be more than just a deep receiving threat. "He's so explosive and can do so many things down the field, but for him to take that next step he needs to get more balls that aren't deep balls or big posts down the field for touchdowns," Palmer said. "He needs to catch slants and curls and digs and things like that. And the way things are lined up he's the guy. He's our 'X' receiver and I'm excited for him. I know he's excited about this year and he's got a lot to prove." Comment (0) | Share: Raiders | Denarius Moore expects to receive extra attention Mon, 21 May 2012 06:20:34 -0700 Oakland Raiders WR Denarius Moore said he understand he will receive extra attention from opposing defenses in 2012 after a strong rookie campaign. "I still don't look at it any different," Moore said. "I just come out and do the job I'm supposed to do, understand what the coaches want and get my timing down with the quarterback and understand that we have a connection." Comment (0) | Share: Raiders | Juron Criner could move up depth chart fast Sun, 20 May 2012 12:58:22 -0700 Oakland Raiders WR Juron Criner has been impressive during offseason workouts and has a chance to quickly move up the depth chart because of his size and strength.

Comment (0) | Share: Raiders | Co-defendant to testify against Rolando McClain Thu, 17 May 2012 10:00:57 -0700 Updating a previous item, Oakland Raiders LB Rolando McClain's co-defendant in his trial, Jaradious Willingham, pleaded guilty Thursday, May 17, to third-degree assault, and he agreed to testify against McClain.

Comment (0) | Share: Raiders | Tory Humphrey works out Thu, 17 May 2012 06:32:05 -0700 The Oakland Raiders worked out free-agent TE Tory Humphrey (Saints) but did not sign him to a contract, according to a league source. Comment (0) | Share: Raiders | Rolando McClain set to appear in court Thu, 17 May 2012 05:52:18 -0700 Oakland Raiders LB Rolando McClain is set to appear in court Thursday, May 17, on charges of third degree assault, menacing, reckless endangerment and discharging a firearm in the city limits. On the eve of McClain's trial, a disturbing video emerged that could threaten his case. The video claims McClain and his friend Jadoriaus Willingham attacked the alleged victim Rishard Tapscott. In the video, Tapscott is seen getting punched and kicked by Willingham. The video does not show McClain hitting the victim or brandishing a firearm, which he is alleged to have done. The video appears to be a composite of several cell phone videos taken and ends after someone off camera threatens to shoot. "It's obvious that McClain has been edited out of parts of it, but it matches up perfectly with (the victim)'s statements of it," attorney Carl Cole said. "I think this shows that there may be cracks in Willingham and McClain's circle of friends. They may not all be willing to hide what happened that night." Comment (0) | Share: Raiders | Marcel Reece still not practicing Wed, 16 May 2012 22:26:23 -0700 Oakland Raiders FB Marcel Reece is still not participating in offseason work.

Comment (0) | Share: Raiders | Is Terrell Owens a possibility? Wed, 16 May 2012 08:13:59 -0700 Free-agent WR Terrell Owens (Bengals) took part in offseason workouts with Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer, WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, TE David Ausberry and WR Eddie McGee in Southern California. Palmer said Owens' presence was good for the young receivers. "It was great for them," Palmer said of his young teammates. "It was our fourth or fifth day in a row of throwing and they were tired and sore and for them to see another guy, that's not on a team, that's grinding … I think it was a little bit of an eye-opener for them." Palmer added he has no issues with Owens, despite rumors of such from their one season together with the Cincinnati Bengals. However, Palmer is not sure the team needs a veteran presence in the receiving corps. Comment (1) | Share: Raiders | Darren McFadden has big goals for 2012 Wed, 16 May 2012 07:52:24 -0700 Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden said Tuesday, May 15, his goal is to rush for 1,800 yards in 2012, the same goal he had for last season. "I was hoping to get to 1,800 rushing yards, but it didn't work out that way," McFadden said. "I will keep pushing for it this year and hopefully get to those goals." Comment (0) | Share: Raiders | Carson Palmer adjusting to new scheme Wed, 16 May 2012 06:16:03 -0700 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said he's adjusting well to new offensive coordinator Greg Knapp's scheme, which requires him to roll out and throw on the run more than he has since early in his career and in college. "I've done a ton of it in my career early on and in college, did a ton of different nakeds and keepers and boots and stuff like that," Palmer said. "It really suits me well. It suits our personnel well with some of the guys we have on the outside."

Comment (0) | Share: Raiders | Expect David Ausberry to be a receiving TE Wed, 16 May 2012 05:49:02 -0700 Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said he expected TE David Ausberry to be deployed as a receiving tight end this season. Ausberry, a converted wide receiver last season, is noticeably bigger in the upper body as he grows into his position.

"I feel I can fit in any scheme running the ball," McFadden said. "Now I feel like I've got my feet wet in the NFL, now I have my confidence boosted, so it's just, going out there and playing with confidence I'm going to go out there and run the ball."

McFadden is not concerned with injuring the foot again. "It was just a freak thing, you know. I'm going out there and playing like it never happened," McFadden said. "I'm not going to worry about it. My thing is, just go out there and play hard. I can't control the things that happen when you go out there and get tackled, so I just go hard every play."
