Oakland Raiders minicamp: Day three practice post it notes

The Oakland Raiders completed their final practice of the mandatory minicamp this afternoon. It was another spirited day, but there were no fights on the field.

For some of these guys, this will be their only time in the Bay Area until they report to Napa in July, whilst most of them will be back in a couple of weeks for minicamp.

Chris Johnson missed his second day of practice as did Louis Murphy. Continuing soreness.

Chaz Schilens was on the sidelines for the entire practice yet again. Nick Miller got some work in on an separate field. He looked to still have his quickness.

JaMarcus Russell had a horrible practice. He missed most of his throws.

Jason Campbell had a very solid practice. He seems to have shaken whatever rust he had during the first day.

Charlie Frye had no touch on his deep balls. On two consecutive throws deep down the sideline he had one picked and the other should have been a pick but was dropped.

Darrius Heyward-Bey dropped a couple of passes, but laid out for a nice catch on a sideline pass.

The injury bug didn't bite nearly as hard this year as it did last year.

The negotiations are still on between Richard Seymour and the Raiders franchise.

Michael Bush again looked to be the best out of the Raiders running back corps.

Michael Bennett should get an invite to training camp based on his performance. He looked sharp and quick out there. Cable wouldn't commit to giving him the invite, "We'll see what we do this week."

Overall, the Raiders are looking good. Will have a complete wrap-up of the three days, complete with a pictures from camp later tonight after I get back home.

Will Denarius Moore Be the Oakland Raiders' Star Receiver in 2012? Fan Perspective Wide receiver Denarius Moore was certainly a stand-out on the 2011 Oakland Raiders' team, making a name for himself the moment he arrived to training camp last year. The rookie sensation was the best steal of the 2011 NFL draft, signed as a fifth round pick. It just goes to show a first round pick, such as former quarterback JaMarcus Russell, can turn out to be a huge disappointment, while some ...

Draft Preview: 5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers In the 2007 draft, the Oakland Raiders selected JaMarcus Russell with their first overall pick, mostly because they had to select JaMarcus Russell with their first overall pick. Or at least that was their foolish mindset, the same thinking that planted the seed for Lane Kiffin’s year of fun and frustration. But Oakland’s antics aside, [...]

The 3 Bad Decisions in the Draft’s First Round: A Fan’s Take With every draft, there are winners and losers. In the 2003 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions selected Charles Rogers second overall ahead of Andre Johnson. We all know how that worked out for the Lions. In 2007, the Oakland Raiders selected JaMarcus Russell, expecting a franchise, pro bowl quarterback. Instead, the Raiders got a lazy, unmotivated half a Big Mac.

6 Comments I raiders non sono mai stati una franchigia abile nel draft, il caso Jamarcus Russell lo dimostra. Il loro punto di forza sono sempre stati i free agents e la rivalutazione di giocatori sottovalutati o considerati finiti (come Palmer). Al Davis era un vero maestro in questo.
