Mercury News wrote:Shell makes it known that he'll set the tone

It didn't take long for Raiders Coach Art Shell to let people know who is boss.

Shell began face-to-face chats with players soon after his hiring, on Feb. 11. In one instance, wide receiver Jerry Porter's get-to-know-you meeting turned into a war of words and ended with Shell booting Porter from his office.

``Attitudes and things like that will have to be changed somewhat,'' Shell said. ``I have to set the tone. I expect to set the tone.''

He continued that process Friday in Alameda during practice on the first day of the team's weekend mini-camp.

``The attitude has changed because he's demanding it,'' tackle Robert Gallery said. ``This place is moving in the right direction.''

Shell inherits a team that has won only 13 games the past three seasons. Those three losing seasons are one more than Shell experienced as a Raiders player from 1968 to 1982 and as the team's coach in 1990-94 (he took over from Mike Shanahan during the 1989 season).

``I know how to win,'' Shell said. ``I know how to lead. I expect that we will have the kind of success that this organization deserves.''

Barry Sims, a veteran on the offensive line, said he already notices a contrast between the way Shell runs the team and the way things operated under Norv Turner and, before him, Bill Callahan.

``The last few years it seemed a little too loose,'' Sims said. Now, ``everybody's held accountable for our actions and what we do. The only way you'll be successful is to have that accountability.''

And uncorroborated rumor mill grist

In an interview last night JP was asked what he thought of Art shell. He said that he wished we had gotten Martz because he would have made "us the greatest show on grass." He said but Shell comes in here trying to install this "tuff Guy" BS. He said that he didn"t think that last year"s team was undisiciplined, and that last year"s team was better than this one.

I don't think the turnaround is gonna be that easy .

I'm not sure that the story about Art 'kicking J. Porter out of his office' wasn't blown up to sound like a lot more than it was.

I'm also not even sure what the troof is about these supposed Porter comments in the supposed interview.

Look, Art Shell isn't lacking a pair, as were Porter's past two coaches.

Art also isn't anything like Vince Lombardi ....... or even Tom Coughlin.
He's not a big-time hard-ass.
He just knows what it takes to be a winner.
Part of what it takes is for the coach to LEAD, and for the coach to have the respect of his players.

Oakland's receiving corp is made better by what Porter brings to the table, but if he can't deal with Art Shell then he needs to be sent on his way.

If the cancer exists, cut it out.

Art Shell is a football genius... Jerry Porter is a #2 receiver who has yet to break 1,000 yards in a season. He need to shut the fuck up and play football. He is no longer the only member of the receiving corp worth a damn and he is expendable...

2-3 in the postseason with a .587 winning percentage.

Looks pretty fucking mediocre to me.

54-38 in the regular season with an AFC championship appearance and multiple playoff appearances is mediocre to houston oiler...err...chargertard of all fucking people?

I laughed. Hard.

Art Shell's ho-hum record has nothing to do with the Chargers or the Oilers. Try to stay focused.

If you were to stop inhaling dicks for a minute and ponder Arts regular season record and how far he took them with jay fucking schroeder of all people as a QB, you'd realize just how good a coach he really is.

Its beyond hilarious to me that a chargercunt like you would be fucking stupid enough to slam his cock massagers on submit for this shit offering.

Thanks for the hearty laugh this morning-I needed it.

Art Shell didn't win dick coaching The Raiders and The Raiders haven't won dick since he left. Why don't you both STFU and lock this thread! :P

That was a special for you James. You knew it was coming. :P

The Raiders are looking at 4-12 this season at best.

Plus... they'll get ass raped by the Niners during the regular season to top it all off.

Posted: **Thu May 18, 2006 8:17 pm**

I doubt anyone is going to get raped by the Niner's this year...

Art Shell ihas Als trust and is granting him more control. Jerry Porter is a poor mans Sterling Sharpe. Meaning he talks a better game than he actually played. Porter has had some moments where you go "Wow he played pretty good today". The keyword is SOME. I'm beggining to see why Gruden kept this guy in the doghouse, he doesnt know when to shut up and doesnt have the numbers to back up anything.

Hey Jerry have some consistancy like Timmy Brown did and THEN you may pop flap your lips.

Hey Tubby,

I've asked you this previously and never got an answer from you... so I'll ask it again.

"Are you retarded"?

P.S. The Niners are also gonna ass rape the Chefs, and I'll get to see that one in person.

If you're at that game and you see someone who's laughing... that will be me.

There has never been anything quite as funny as 80,000 Giant Red tomatoes when they start crying.

In all fairness Shell might have made the unreasonable request that Porter stop acting like a selfish prick...

I remember on draft day when we took him a scout saying that Porter had been a dick all through high school and college and he saw no reason for him to change at the NFL level.

Fuck Jerry Porter, dude is a legend in his own mind that shows up 4 games and year then takes the rest of the season off all while complaining about his jersey # or some other ridiculous bullshit.

Dude is a cancer and he should get a ticket out of town to poison someone else's locker room.

I wish we could have traded him on draft day but the cap hit makes it to difficult.

Either way I believe that this will be Porter's last season in Oakland.

Players like Porter are contributing to the culture of losing that we are finally trying to change.

Good fucking riddance.

Addition by subtraction IMO.

So are we selling tickets for Retardmania 2006 soon?

When is the square off between Corky (PCP), Raymond Babbitt (Pink Taco Rex) and Warren Jensen (m)?

You can see the determination in their eyes.
