Final Injury Update

As TheRaiderWay reported, for the first time all year, all 53 Raiders were practicing. Great news indeed. It doesn't mean all will be available Sunday though. Nnam, Big John, "-" and Z Mill were all limited and are questionable for Sunday. Miller said he is playing and I believe him. Cable said Nnam is a game time decision and it sounds like "-" is too. Jerry McDonald thinks Henderson will make it on the field for at least a few snaps. WR-who-shall-not-be-jinxed is out and Cable said there were positives and negatives from his Friday practice.

For the Steelers, S Will Allen and DE Aaron Smith are out. DE Brett Keisel has been limited all week and is questionable. Troy Polamalu did not practice all week, but he is probable. CB Credzon Butler, LB Lawerence Timmons, G Chris Kemoeatu and WR Hines Ward are all had full practices and are probable.

I voted for Miller on Sunday

Simply because, I think moving the ball is going to be a lot harder than stopping them from moving it. Not too mention, I expect the Raiders best pass coverage option to be the defensive line.

People either loved us or hated us. ...Or thought we were ok.

Our O needs Z more than our D needs Asom1.

I’ll take 11 players with heart on the field over 11 guys with just talent. Talent is fleeting, it goes away over time. Heart is what drives you to be better. To push yourself beyond what you think your capabilities are. To show us that when you strive, all things are possible.- SMP

These players, a lot of other people didn't believe in them, but they believe in themselves. And that is all that matters."- Bill Belichick

Sorry Noon, but jinxing now is what's needed to reverese the existing jinx

[Schilens] is out and Cable said there were positives and negatives from his Friday practice.

Let me guess, the positives were that Chaz catches everything that’s thrown to him and looks fit. The negatives are that he has to hop to do so and now has a sore left calf.

Do not say that name


I cannot say, but suffice to say Schilens is the word I cannot hear…. Oh now I’ve said it.

That was a tough choice

I chose Zach for the same reason as Sons stated he’s needed more on O than Nnam is on D
I think we’ll get both though, maybe Nnamdi in limited fashion but we will have both. Big John will play a few snaps too on obvious running downs to keep the rest of the DT’s fresher.

JUST DOMINATE BABY !!!

Zach over Nnam

If I could choose both I would but like everyone’s already been saying we need Z on offense more than Namn on D. We’ve all seen the Raiders thrive these last few weeks but this Sunday will be a true test to gauge where we’re at. Even if we don’t get a W, if we can compete with the Steelers that’ll say alot.

i feel the same way

if we can compete i will be happy, but im not going to lie i think we can beat them

Still voted for Nam

We got backs that can catch the ball as well as Zach, but against a QB like Roeth, we’d better have our best pass defenders out there.

by rightnasty on Nov 19, 2010 5:23 PM PST reply actions  

Voted for Zach, since I've already kind of envisioned this game without him

and though he’s irreplaceable on the field, I think so long as we create solid pressure on Ben early and regularly, our cover guys will do fine. Zach will be the necessary x factor to keep the chains moving, and make them think twice about going cover 2 against us in the red zone.

I would take either......

one player isnt going to make that much of a difference tomorrow. We need to have everyone in a uni actually show up and play to hit 6-4. GO RAIDERS

Nnamdi is a Necessity for the rest of the Year !!!!

If he’s not at, say 90+%, let him sit !!! A Sprained ankle can last longer than a break, trufully !!! Been there, done that !!! Trust me on this one !!! A really bad sprain, like he has, can take a mimimum of 2 weeks, just to get back running !!! He’ll feel it, far as recovering from the pain, for months, long as he keeps playing !! Any little misstep, can aggrevate the sprain, all over again !!!!

by papabegood on Nov 20, 2010 8:09 PM PST reply actions  

I agree papa B

If Nnam isn’t 100 wait until he is. I’d rather have him miss one more game than have it linger for all of them.

Voted Nnamdi; thought about it, and if I could I’d change it to Zach. He will be JC’s main man Sunday.

by JaKe. on Nov 20, 2010 8:58 PM PST reply actions  

Yes he will

even the NFL network thinks so as they had Zach as a “start em” for fantasy players meaning they expect big numbers from him.

JUST DOMINATE BABY !!!

by rambis64 on Nov 21, 2010 7:36 AM PST up reply actions  

voted for Nam

tough, tough choice
