At long last and finally it is here! Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!! Let's go Raiders and snap the losing streak against San Diego. Tom Cable will unveil the new Oakland Raiders tonight for all the nation to see. Let's have a look now at what we should expect to see tonight.
Raiders on offense:
It's all going to start with JaMarcus Russell as he is going to have to manage the game and protect the football well in order for the Raiders to prevail. The Raiders made the expected decision to start Darren McFadden for the season opener. His versatility running and catching the football and explosiveness adds more to the offense than what Fargas could. As certainly the plan will be to run the ball and with Fargas still questionable, both Bush and Rankin will provide plenty of freshness and change-of-pace.
Tom Cable has stated though that McFadden would carry the ‘bulk’ of the load tonight.
The big concern on offense will be that without Russell's new favorite target, Chaz Schillens and no veteran presence in Javon Walker, the Raiders will be relying on two rookie wide receivers, Heyward-Bey and Louis Murphy. Higgins will help out in the slot and thankfully last years favorite target of Russell, Zach Miller will playing.
If the Raiders are going to have any chance at pulling off an upset, they are going to have to execute virtually mistake-free football on the offense and not give San Diego any extra opportunities. They are going to have to run the ball effectively and Russell will have to make the throws when needed.
Raiders on defense:
DE/DT Richard Seymour will be playing, so that's an automatic and instant impact for the defense. Regardless,the Chargers will no doubt test the Raiders run defense early and often.
The John Marshall era officially begins. The Seymour impact should allow the Raiders linebackers to be more free and available to blitz as Marshall has promised. Marshall has stressed the fundamentals, so not blowing assignments and making the sure tackles are mandatory.
Cable said at the press conference with Seymour that he has seen some positives in recent games versus the Chargers, commenting, "When you look back at those games we were able to stay in, keep the defense off the field, keep them fresher if you will. And I thought we played with a little more intensity and violence on defense. I’ve gone back and looked at those so I can understand what he’s getting at."
Also, Silver and Black Pride member and new starting strong safety, Tyvon Branch draws the tough assignment of defensing Chargers TE Antonio Gates. Neutralizing Gates will go a long way towards the Raiders prevailing tonight.
Chargers on offense:
LaDainian Tomlinson is 30 years old, but he has personally tormented the Raiders throughout his career. Despite Tomlinson’s struggles in 2008, he torched the Raiders for 197 rushing yards in two meetings and the Chargers continued their recent dominance extending their streak of wins to 11-games against Oakland.
Unless all the new changes to the Raiders defense materialize, Tomlinson and Darren Sproles will present a lot of match-up problems for the Raiders especially with their ability to catch the ball out of the backfield, which the Chargers rely on frequently.
Chargers on defense:
Shawne Merriman was not even named one of the Chargers six captains, which shows how much he has fallen out of favor in San Diego. Nevertheless, Merriman is hoping for a return to his 2007 form prior to his major knee injury. If he does, then it may be a long night for Oakland.
Larry English will spell Merriman at times and inside linebacker Kevin Burnett will start opposite Stephen Cooper.
San Diego will try to force the Raiders into long down and distance situations early in the game to rattle and pressure JaMarcus Russell into mistakes. If the offense scores early and often and the defense are playing in front all day, the Raiders offensive line will get a heavy dose of blitzes.
Key Match-ups:
- Center Chris Morris vs NT Jamal Williams
- Rookie wide receivers Heyward-Bey and Louis Murphy vs Chargers secondary
- Antonio Gates vs Tyvon Branch
Game notes and not-so-fun facts:
- The Raiders have been outscored 104-35 in their last three regular season openers. In their last three Monday night games, the Raiders have been trounced by the Chargers 27-0, Seattle 16-0 and the Broncos 41-14.
- Unfortunately, exciting rookie and UDFA, Nick Miller has shin splints and will not make his Raiders debut as the kick returner. Louis Rankin is expected to take his place.
Enjoy the Nation! GO R-A-I-D-E-R-S!!!!!

gotta man up
against the run. last year in the first meeting, when we kept LT to low yards we were still in that game but 4th quarter came around and we got sloppy and the cat got outa the bag… so keep LT limited and no BIG plays and we kick a field goal to win the game. 21-24.
i really think louis murphy is gonna blow up today fellas so keep an eye on him. also if the preseason trend keeps up where they constantly double team DHB then look for miller and myers to have big days underneath and making yards after the catch. also w/ dmc runnin the rock i see some motions out to the slot and tryin to make some mismatches on the perimeter…. lets get er done!!!

No better time than now
If the raiders are gonna do it what better time than now. What better time than monday night football, what better team than the division champs chargers. What better stage of their rebuilding process. Since Rich Gannon went down the Raiders have just been in turmoil. So now its six years later and almost that many coach’s too. For the first time I feel pretty good going into this year. I think russell is really starting to turn it up. Its a shame Schillins is out but I like what I see from murphy. And having Bey on the other side should get Miller more passes his way. I know our running game is our strong point but I believe we need to go out tonight and get the pass going right away. If we can pass successfully right away our running game can do damage later on. I believe with a growing offence our d needs to step up like never before. So i am putting this game on our d, they need to keep us in the game because with the talent we have on offence it will get going. We got the team, we got the stage, its time for the Raiders to start becoming the Raiders of new. GO RAIDERS!!!!!

Anyone else go to the Raider Image yesterday in San Leandro?
DHB and Javon Walker were there signing autographs… they were nice as hell. I talked to DHB for a little and I’m very excited we drafted a well spoken individual with no character issues…
And I got a couple of footballs signed too!

It's all about the run
We have to run the ball and manage the clock, similarily we can’t let them do the same thing. We have to be more physical and disciplined in this game to have any chance.
Just HIT somebody.

i'm looking for how are defense will be doing
i’m pretty confident about our offense considering the fact that it seemed that russell is more in tuned with the offense, and unless we commit a lot of penalties, we should be fine.

LET'S DO THIS!
I haven’t been this stoked for Monday for a long time.
5 hours away…
THIS begins our climb back to the top. TONIGHT begins our redemption. When this game is over, the league WILL RESPECT US AGAIN.
I never get to watch the Raiders living out here on the East Coast, so I won’t be able to participate in the gameday open thread. Hold down the fort for me.
JaMarcus and Darren McFadden must begin the rise to greatness tonight.
RAIDERS BUMAYE!

Seymour will make an impact
However you look at it Seymour will make an impact. Im sure he wont be as effective as he could be if given the time to work with the d line but lets face it he is a beast! He has a strong motor and knows how to play the game, he should plug in just fine. Even if his impact on the field is minimal lets not forget that his presence has changed the chargers game plan. I feel rivers gets flustered after being sacked a couple times so go get him seymour!!!! GO RAIDERS!!!!!!

Well, we lost the turnover margin. With that said, I’d normally take a 10-10 tie going into the half; however, in light of what happened, we should at least have a 14-10 lead or a 10-7 lead. We would have a 10-7 lead had our special teams actually been able to stop Darren Sproles at his own 35 or so. It’s not that much to ask. Now, it’s a 10-10 game, the Chargers scored last and they’ll get the ball first. With that said, we’re right were we began.

Hi, I just want to say that I’m liking the Raiders D right now. They’re leaving Rivers scared out of his wits. Now say thank you to Mr. Belicheck like good boys and girls for giving you Richard Seymour! ; )
The offense? They’re finally moving this drive. That play by the Raiders was simply genius. The reverse, Jamarcus Russell using his LB body to block, wow.
I didn’t think the Raiders had it in them, but they’re looking real good. I think they’ll win this game.
