NFL Game Day Poll: Raiders at Titans

Target him early and often. They know about Zach, Louis is the guy everyone says will have another good year, the rest of our WR corps is essentially waste (except the underrated Nick Miller). Our D is better, but in order to win, we need a monster game from DHB to open up the underneath routes and stretch the tightones D. This opens the run game for some big plays from Dmac, Bush (if he plays), and Bennett/Cartwright. This will be a shootout in the 30’s.

And not ours, if we cannot keep him bottled up, I am afraid we are in trouble. This offense is going to be good eventually, but I think it is going to take a few more weeks to really gel and start clicking, in the meantime, D has to carry us (AGAIN!), not worried about VY beating us via pass, but if we cant slow down CJ, btwn CJ and VY’s legs, will be a long shitty day.
So, if we are picking a single OAK guy, I guess I have to go w/ either Seymour or DeathRo.
Seymour b/c he is a vet leader and this D’s preformance will be directly proportional to RS’s play.
DeathRo b/c as a QB of the D, he is being asked to do a ton as a RkMLB, a good oline and one of the best rb’s in the game, not to mention one of if not the very best running qb, We need DeathRo to be solid to win.

If he can’t get the offense going, its going to look a lot like last year. I hope he is able to stay on the field for a while because if he cant we are in trouble.

Darren needs to make his presence felt to keep the D honest and we did choose him over Chris Johnson so there should be that “chip factor” motivating him too.
If Cambell bogs down in the 1st Half we shouldn’t hesitate to bring Grad in.

We have such a hard time keeping the ball AND also taking it. We have to atleast break even. IF were in the negative column in the takeaways then we shall get hammered. Also if could stipulate another tangible it will be clock management and keeping the clock moving to keep the time moving so the Titans have less time to play with. Grind it out with some runs and short dunk passes. KISS (keep it simple stupid) and we have a chance. On D we need to show lots of different packages rather than the same old can of beans 4 man front rush, no blitz and man to man coverage.

The Raiders can significantly decrease the significance of Chris Johnson and Vince Young by taking the ball away from the Titans offense and taking it for scoring drives.

By the same token, the Raiders must be secure with the ball to have any shot at winning this game.

+1 to SOB for “The Cell Block”.

Just play the damn GAME !!! I feel like a kid on Christmas !! Can’t wait for the package to be opened to see what we really got !!! Don’t let me down Raiders !!

just win baby

Tennessee’s defense is slow, so if mcfadden continually gets to the outside, look for him to get big runs.

For the first time in… well,awhile, I’m really excited about this Raider team.

The Titans are a great opening day opponent for us, and I think a closer match up than most outside of the Raider Nation give the Raiders credit for.
Jeff Fisher isn’t one of them, and has watched hours of film on the Raiders, and Not looking past us. This is a great test for both teams.

I believe if we play tight and consistent, few mistakes or turnovers, Raiders Win this one.
I think the Raiders will have success thru the air, often and regularly.
The D needs to be sharp and at the top of their game All Day.
And the ST’s can’t be giving up chunks of land to Tenn.

CJ says he wants 200 yds this game, He’s NOT going to get it, he will be in the 100, 120 area, he’s just too good to stop completely, unless you bring the house against him and make Tenn. try an beat you through the air. That’s how Pitt. held him under 100 yds last year.
But we also need to keep close watch on VY and their TE, so our D does have it’s work cut out for them today, I think they’re up to it and ready.

While a loss wouldn’t be the end of the world for the Raiders, a opening day Win would and will be Huge for the Raiders.

Take it to em’ Raiders!
Just Win Baby!

It was just reported on ESPN2.

mcfadden needs to produce and the oline needs to open up holes. if the run game doesnt get going then we are gonna have a hard time passing

i want to see how veldheer does in his second game playing center,and his first real game in the nfl

The key to the game is stopping Chris Johnson! Also dont let V.Y. scramble. I think J.Campbell and L.Murphey will have big days. Maybe Yamon can return one. Heres a link to my preview of the game.

O-LINE. END OF STORY. If we can handle the Titans’ d-line, we got this.
