PrintSeattle Seahawks at Oakland Raiders, Sep 2, 2010 7:00 PM PDT
Truth be told, I wish that the Northgate Broncos from Walnut Creek were taking the field in the stead of any able bodied Oakland Raiders tonight. In all fairness to the players who are trying to make the team, those on the bubble are really only trying to put some good tape together so that they can get picked up by some other team as a practice squad player or the 53rd player on their roster.
As little as the first three games meant, this one means absolutely NOTHING.
It may be entertaining to a few of us, but, the roster is set. I know, there may be a question about Watkins or Higgins, or Groves or Goethel, but, that is about it.
And duty calls!!! So I will be here, for most of the game...Do you guys want to play a 4th regular season blogging game, like, be the first one to name the player who made the tackle?
If you can't tell, I am extremely bummed over the loss of Campbell and Bush. They truly were/are our brightest offensive hopes this year.
Let me know, Cheers,
Saint

Bush was a blow but Campbell will be back soon and Grad is as good or better, so no worries, Mate.
Spirals and I will be leaving in 10 minutes. I want to see bodies sacrificed for that moment of glory that lives forever in memory and film. Hope Nick Miller and Travis Goethel live up to my expectations tonight – imo, they have ‘the right stuff’ look for STs to secure the middle on returns and push things outside – that’s where Howard and Boyd will lay the wood … unless Boyd freelances and they get outside on him again. Expect Bruce to tear it up again, he’s a man on fire and doesn’t have much to lose since the deck was stacked. I’m starting to appreciate Michael Y’s Casandra-like pleading about the Defense’s sets – look for continued exploitation against our middle center and middle deep – that seems to be where we are most vulnerable (not necessarily b/c of personnel) because of the structure. SS and MLB are key to the D … and our QB is the key to this O b/c timing / game clock is everything with a line like we’re ‘blessed’ with.
Long live Al!
S-O-B: ITS HOW I ROLL, DEAL WITH IT.
I actually get to watch a Raider game from the comforts of my own couch and on a TV instead of a computer screen!

Ha ha, looking at the 1st half highlights from the Donkeys game
Tebow fumbles his first snap for a turnover, and then what I believe what his first pass was intercepted in the next series. Love it.
@WorldBLee
the interception was his only incompletion.
he’s 12 for 13 for 167 yards.

if he SOMEHOW someway gets cut, we should definitely get him.
otherwise, I’d look to Marshaun Lynch. He might get cut.

Silver and black pride tonight.
Hope nobody gets hurt and the Raiders win tonight. Will be watching this one at atdhe.net from a continent afar as will RAIDERSNOMERCY , and hope to see another huge Raiders fan join this site too.
Shout out to BendGod5 and the gents running this outstanding site. Will get BendGod5 to join shortly. He will be a great addition. Have been trying to recruit him here, but no luck yet as he is busy.
I think Campbell will be fine. Wonder who Cable will start at QB tonight?
Cheers to all great Raiders and Raider fans. I dedicate this year, for me personally, to The Assassin! And his pals George Atkinson and Lester ‘The Molester’ Hayes.
GO RAIDERS!
Oops!

Seattle has been playing their starting D-line. Their DT’s are decent especially against the run. Campbell is getting pushed around a bit on the runs.

I think that Veldheer will start...

Here's my analysis:
CJ is better at tackling, and Huff might actually play better man. CJ can now roam the field, not having to worry about being beat, and Huff can get chances to catch the ball more.

I just think Gradkowski will give us a better chance to win more games if he starts than with JC.
He moves the chains like no other QB on our roster.
The RaiderLaker
Could not agree more. Gotta start Gradkowski against Tennessee despite a lousy second half all around. Didn’t like the lack of movement on their final drive of the first half, but I think Cable just wanted to get everyone off the field and injury-free.
Gradkowski is simply a better QB in every way at this point in his career than Campbell imo. Hope they go with him, and see how he does. If he stinks then bring in Campbell fast.

I'm all for Ware being a starter and us cutting CJ. WF is injury prone because of his size. He's a slot CB, imo.
The RaiderLaker
You're basing that off of a small sample
Ware is 5’10" and Routt is 6’1". Height matters when it comes to covering big wideouts. We haven’t seen Ware cover bigger guys.

Strange to say that for this Raider squad.

That was a nasty sack
Too bad it involved hitting him up high so we got the 15-yard penalty.
@WorldBLee
Stevie Brown and Jeremy Ware deserve to make this team
CJ is complete garbage now. How on Earth can he have regressed to the point that STANFORD ROUTT is better option? Yikes. Breaking in three rookie DBs is kinda scary, but seriously, how can you possibly cut lil’ Walter, Stevie or Ware? They’ve played their asses off and deserve the chance to contribute. Figurs made the decision to cut his ass even easier tonight.
Looking
Forward to playing the gooey, soft NFC West.

its hard to be optimistic
Wow, ok paper... we do have the same guys from last year. We have not improved at all.
When will we get rid of that fat QB? Tells me you don’t know whats been going on around here. Even Nnamdi feels a different vibe. Good luck with your blind prediction.

I haven’t heard of Veldheer coming in elsewhere. Campbell played though.

We had very few starters on D. No Nnamdi, Seymour, McClain…

What can we take away from this game?
We have a very good backup qb and a very solid 3rd stringer.
Veldheer will likely start at center because he did not play, and it wasn’t due to injury.
John Henderson didn’t play, which means he’ll probably make the roster.
Kicking coverage needs to work out the kinks.
Bennet will probably do the job as the backup if Bush is going to miss some time.
Rookie DB’s are very talented and should get some significant playing time this year.
Chris Johnson will probably be demoted to 3rd or 4th on the depth chart.
Stanford Routt will start.
