What happened? Rookie training camp?

[h2]Rookie QB shines at mini camp[/h2]

Saturday, May 11th, 2013 at 3:34 pm in Oakland Raiders.

ALAMEDA – As far as rookies go, quarterback Tyler Wilson looked nothing of the sort Saturday as he displayed the poise and skills of a seasoned veteran in only his second practice as a member of the Raiders.
Wilson showed off a strong arm, placing balls right on target time and again, be it swing passes, throws over the middle or well downfield.
“Obviously, picking up a new system, there’s a little bit of rust there,” Raiders coach Dennis Allen said of Wilson. “But throwing the ball, he’s done a nice job. I don’t have any question about his arm strength and his accuracy.”
If anything, it’s the receivers that are going to have to adjust to the velocity on Wilson’s throws. Several times, laser-like throws went through or off a receiver’s hands.
Wilson arrived as a fourth-round draft pick out of Arkansas, with a reputation for being a bright guy, confident in his abilities and ready to take on any challenge.
It’s not a stretch to envision Wilson playing well enough to surge past presumptive starter Matt Flynn and third-year player Terrelle Pryor at some point, even if he downplays the situation.
“It’s an opportunity,” Wilson said after practice. “Obviously, there’s a lot I have to learn. … I’ve got a lot of work to do to get up to speed because there have been veteran guys that have been here that are way ahead of me right now. So, I’m playing catch-up from that point.”
The Raiders traded for Flynn earlier this offseason on the same day that they traded starter Carson Palmer to the Arizona Cardinals. Flynn has started only two games during his five-year NFL career. Pryor started the regular-season finale in 2012 for his only start.
Through it all, Allen and general manager Reggie McKenzie refuse to anoint Flynn the starter, going only so far as to say that Flynn will begin with the first-team offense.
Allen and McKenzie want competition at all positions. To that end, Wilson is game.
“I do think I can bring some things to the table skill-set wise,” Wilson said. “But, again, I’ve got to play catch-up at this point. I’m going to use it as an opportunity and compete like heck.”

I see the future Hall of Fame QB is starting on the right foot

 

[sohi 23]

double

Love the 34 Bo that Murray is rocking.

I have high hopes for this draft class.

 

[MajinZuub]

Murray looks like a damn linebacker

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Amy left? Seriously? That sucks. She was cool as hell. Met her a few times.

Tyler Wilson

Latavius Murray


Hope they both contribute this year

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Steve Corkran believes that Wilson is going to compete for the starting job this year and will definitely be ahead of Pryor.

Man, I feel pretty bad for Pryor.

 

[laker4lifeman]

I think he might have to convert to TE or WR if he wants to stay in the league.

 

[MajinZuub]

Pryor looked decent in the SD game but all he threw were high lobs. Don't see him being a starter in the league. I hope Wilson takes the starting job, I really don't like Flynn.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

If Flynn loses another Job to a Wilson

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

Flynn will get his starts at the beginning of the year, I'm pretty sure of that. I don't see McKenzie willing to throw a rookie behind a still developing o-line and suspect receivers and expecting him to survive that, either physically or in terms of his emotional well being if he does poorly. Let the one year investment in Flynn pay it's dues early and find where the team is strong and weak. If the line proves solid, and Flynn's play is suspect, try out Wilson if he's better in practice.

So the Raiders are upping the ante a little bit sending an initial offer for Charles Woodson already, but do the dollars make sense?

Josina Anderson ‏@JosinaAnderson 21m
Charles Woodson's agent Carl Poston also told me the #Raiders just sent him an initial offer for Woodson as well.

Josina Anderson ‏@JosinaAnderson 21m
Charles Woodson's agent Carl Poston told me the #Panthers & #Raiders recently called inquiring about his client.

 

[laker4lifeman]

So Rolando is going to retire this dude and Titus have problems.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

Cribbs is a raider

 

[albooboo]

Great pick up. Now Ford can focus on playing WR.

 

[thegreekgangsta]

Cribbs is a raider

was just about to post this. i like the signing. low risk high reward.

come back home cwood

even thought we are rebuilding this year, I can't even start to explain how much more excited I am about this season. got rid of dead weight.

no Carson behind center = actually excited about tuning in every Sunday.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

CWood received an offer from us so we'll see. Would love to see him finish his career in Oakland

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Rolando...goodness gracious.

Cribbs huh? Very interesting. Just paid my season tix in full. Can't wait!

I honestly do think this would be a great season for hard knocks.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

If Charles is hoping to play more than one season I could see him signing with us just for the moves we'll be able to make next season. He could be part of the revival and take pride in that.

 

[laker4lifeman]

Cribbs is a nice pickup.

 

[mr jordan04]

Rolando, wow

 

[sohi 23]

Love the Cribbs signing.

I hope Jacoby plays well and we can trade him for a pick.


As for Rolando, smh. Hopefully dude doesn't get into more trouble in Decatur.

 

[Johnny_Cakes]

He probably retired so he can stay in Decatur permanently.

 

[blakmn89]

Great addition for the punter position. Something's telling me this team can prob make playoffs as wildcard
