Zeman was 82.The Browns made Zeman a 10th-round choice in 1959 Johnathan Abram Oakland Raiders Jersey , but he never played for Cleveland. He instead played for the Chargers and Broncos from 1960-66.He made 17 interceptions in 82 career games.Following his retirement, Zeman joined the Raiders as a defensive backs coach in 1971 and stayed through 1977. He rejoined the Raiders in 1984 and served as the linebackers coach for three seasons. Zeman was the 49ers linebackers coach from 1989-93 under George Seifert. ¡°We lost a great one in Bob,¡± Cliff Branch, a receiver for the Raiders from 1972-85, said in a team press release. ¡°He was one of the great coaches I¡¯ve ever met. We met when I was a rookie in 1972, and we spoke at least once a month for over 20 years. Bob was loved. He was a part of the Raider family. That was important to Al Davis, that you are ¡®once a Raiders, always a Raider,¡¯ and Bob was a part of that. He coached probably the best secondary in Raider history with Willie Brown, George Atkinson, Jack Tatum and Alonzo Thomas Johnathan Abram Oakland Raiders Jersey , the ¡®Soul Patrol.¡¯ He would listen to those guys and get them in line when he had to. He had a very close relationship with them. He was just a super coach and a super guy.¡± Nine rookies were active for the Raiders Sunday and all of them played significant roles. That¡¯s a lot. Just eight games in, and sitting at 1-7, this team is well into the evaluation phase.ActiveKolton MillerP.J. HallBrandon ParkerArden KeyNick NelsonMaurice HurstJohnny TownsendTrent SiegDaniel CarlsonJason CabindaInactiveMarcell AtemanKolton MillerComing out of the bye, Miller appeared to finally be healthy and had his best game of the season against the Colts last Sunday. He wouldn¡¯t last a half before aggravating that knee injury. He missed the second half of the game and the Raiders were not prepared for his exit. It was a debacle. Not because Miller is some indispensable All Pro pass protector, but because the alternative was Ian Silberman who had been working as the reserve center and Kelechi Osemele who had his own knee injury problem and moved over from left guard. Miller¡¯s injury is one to watch.P.J. HallHall has been in the rotation at defensive tackle for a few weeks now. Thus far, he has been a non-factor on a team that can¡¯t stop the run on any given play. Since his return in week four against the Browns, Hall has 7 combined tackles in five games.Brandon ParkerParker has started four games now. He has been passable at times at right tackle, but struggled along with much of the line Thursday night against the 49ers. Parker had three penalties in the first quarter ¡ª a false start, holding, and illegal formation ¡ª and was all or partially responsible for three of the 49ers¡¯ seven sacks.Arden Key He still leads the team with 7 QB hits, which says more about the team than anything. Key is their best hope for mounting a pass rush each week and the result is just 7 sacks and 22 QB hits on the season ¡ª both by far the worst in the league. And that¡¯s counting Thursday night when the rest of the league won¡¯t play until Sunday.Nick NelsonIn just his second game of the season Johnathan Abram Jersey 2019 , Nelson didn¡¯t record a stat. No tackles, not passes defended in just 13 snaps. But he didn¡¯t give up any of the big plays in those limited snaps.Maurice HurstHurst has had his moments, but he hasn¡¯t stood out either. That¡¯s hard to do when everything around you is toppling. Football is the ultimate team sport. Hurst is an inside pass rusher. If there is no threat from the outside ¡ª and there absolutely is not ¡ª it¡¯s pretty hard for him to have a major impact.Johnny TownsendPathetic. He is probably the worst punter in the NFL right now. Each week he punts a ball a shorter distance than he had the week before. He went from a game with punts of 28 and 27, to a 25-yarder last week, to a 23-yard punt this week. Jon Gruden needs to start showing the same lack of patience with his draft picks as he has with Reggie McKenzie¡¯s because Townsend is already on scholarship.Trent SiegAll conditions normal for Sieg. No news is good news for the long snapper.Daniel CarlsonSigned by the team as their third rookie kicker this season. The previous two were undrafted, while Carlson was selected in the 5th round by the Vikings. He made his first field goal attempt from 37 yards out, but missed from 45 off the right upright. He is now two for six on the season.Jason CabindaHad four combined tackles in 15 snaps against the 49ers; his first action of the season. Paul Guenther raves about how smart Cabinda is. That was a decent first appearance, but we need to see more to make any real judgment.Some of these guys have shown promise at times this season. But they are being asked to keep a bad Raiders team afloat. Any team relying this heavily on this many rookies is not going to be very good. And that¡¯s an understatement for this squad.Follow @LeviDamien
