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!

I don't know who let that sack through
But I pray Mario Henderson doesn’t regress this year or we’re gonna be in big trouble
According to David White's Twitter...
….it was…guess whoo…..CORNELL GREEN who got beat for that sack.
I hope to god Barnes is mentally preparing to play RT right now

Amazing, Jamarcus Russell hands off to McFadden who pitches it back to Russell who finds Darrius Heyward Bey in the Middle of the Field wide open 30, 20,10,5 Touchdown Raiders! Amazing. This telecast is Brought to you by Cable.
Jerry McDonald says Russell had time to get rid of the ball
I’m only listening on the radio,t hough, so I have no idea.
But I don’t think anyone would disagree that Cornell Green blows.

In all fairness....
…that was apparently because Butler completely schooled Justin Miller that entire drive. I know he has minor turf toe, but still. We desperately need depth at CB
Missed a couple of tackles on a screen pass but other than that it was all butler
Waiver wire db’s have to be better than our fourth stringers

That's what I'm thinking
Asomugha and Johnson had better stay healthy ALL SEASON because past that the depth chart gets real depressing.
Nick Miller is cool.

Nick Miller, welcome to the team!
Contrast that with the other returner, Justin Miller, who just got smoked like bad salmon.
Aw, c'mon
You gotta give Russell and the starters one more series, especially with good field position.
I just hope Cable is rightly confident and not delusionally hopefuly, you know?
After That TD Run

From David White's Twitter
“Garcia looks for Javon Walker, but he just isn’t getting open, even when there’s time. No burst or separation.”
I think they’re gonna have to accept that his days of being a field stretching deep threat are over.

I think he might benefit from a year on the practice squad
But I’d rather keep him than risk losing him, honestly
He definitely fills a role that no other Receiver Does:
He has hands, speed, runs good routes and returns kicks.

I have to wonder
He seemed much more firmly in control late last year and early in training camp & the 1st preseason game. It’s like he lost his grip after that.
That was no Fumble
His arm was going forward

It's possible
But not really smart
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.
True...
I just don’t want to see him leave. I hope they extend roster spots to 60 in the near future.

One thing I like about Nick Miller...
…is he has balls. That’s two kickoffs he’s taken out of the endzone and made them nice gains on both of them
Boschetti has been getting some nice pressure actually
He’s still as good as gone, but is making a nice case to get picked up as someone else’s 4th or 5th DT
Tackle the hips, it’s hard to fake, and it’s pop warner knowledge. In that reguard, I hope MM doesn’t lose confidence in himself once he misses a tackle or two.

Okay, so the return man gets his face mask pulled...
…and they just call holding on us. Sigh. Aye aye!
QB's Should Be
1. J-Russ
2.Jeff Garcia
3 Bruce Gradkowski

The radio guys said it
Frye outperforms Gradkowski in drills and practice but on the field he can’t seem to ever put it together.
Justin Miller actually went out of his way...
to not make the tackle after his blown coverage on that one
Wherever I go, that's where I am.
This is just pissing me off now
I realize most of these guys are not going to be on the roster, but for fuck sakes do something right!
