Game Thread: Live Blog: Preseason Game 4: Oakland in Seattle 09-03-09


The most recent memory that I have about playing the Hawks is a game that was played in Seattle when the skies dumped three inches of water on the faux grass and provided Shaun Alexander his own personal slip and slide into the end zone, through and over the Raiders.

That game signaled the beginning of the end for our run defense.

Today's game will NOT be played in those conditions, but it will be an extremely important game for the Raiders. In fact, the Post Game may be the biggest part of the game because the decisions the coaches make can cost us another Kevin Boothe or Dave Tollefson, 53rd Men who have moved into starting roles at key positions that we could use right now.

Thanks Again to Tyvon for making this place even more special. I know that thousands of new people will be rooting for YOU and the RAIDERS tonight.

So go out there, lay some wood, grab a pick and be out by the Second Quarter!!!

RRRRRAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDEEEEEERRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing I'm hoping for in this game is that no player get's hurt.

This game is just to figure out who the backups will be so the starters won’t be in for long.

I’ve seen a lot written about the battle for the 3rd string QB job and I couldn’t care less who wins it because hopefully that player will never see the field once the regular season starts.

No matter what it can’t be worse then last week right? I mean it can’t be right? Please tell me it can’t be worse. Go Raiders!

There’s nothing like balancing preseason Raider football, meaningless Athletic baseball, the first major game of the college football season and a fantasy football draft that has too many people and therefore too many rounds.

Bring it on!

You have to keep Russell for the sake of versatility. Rankin will sit behind McFadden, Bush and Fargas all year and barely do anything. Russell can be put wherever he might be needed.

Justin Miller's stats tonight per David White

We didn’t outscore the Seattle (Seahawks) team tonight, but we outscored a Seattle (Mariners) team tonight.

It must be so

Boring for the 1st Team Offense cuz they played 3 snaps and had to stay dressed up until now.

FILE - In this Sept. 4, 2009 file photo, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Shaun Hill aims a pass downfield against the San Diego Chargers during the first quarter of an NFL preseason football game in San Diego. Hill earned the starting job for the 2009 season by beating out Alex Smith, who missed last season after re-injuring his surgically repaired throwing shoulder. Head coach Mike Singletary largely chose Hill based on his play down the stretch last year: he went 5-3 over the final eight games and he also owns a 5-0 record at home in Candlestick Park.
