Raiders Game Day - Pre-Game Thread

Oakland Raiders (1-1) at Arizona Cardinals (1-1)                                                                                

Kickoff: 1:15 pm PDT - U of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, AZ                      

TV: Channel: 5 Channel: 13 Channel: 46 (1550, 105.3)

Raiders Radio: Compass Media Networks-listen online here

Line: Arizona -4½ (39½o/u)

With the first two games of the NFL regular season under the belt, the Raiders find themselves at 1-1. In reality though, for this team, I think those first two game are really an extension of the preseason. Those first two games had the Raiders players and coaches trying to figure out which part s to fit where and who the leaders would be and what kinds of schemes would work best where.

Many of those answers have been answered so far and we will now see today if the Raiders on both sides of the ball can maintain some solid consistency against a team reeling from a 41-7 shellacking at the hands of the Atlanta Falcons last week.

The Raiders theme, beginning with training camp and all the way through to last week's game, when the players or coaches have been polled, has been that this team is different and has turned the corner on their losing ways and bad habits of yesteryear(s). Oh how so much I want to buy that, but the memories of the last several years are not easily put aside. This game, this one game, to be sure, will not change that yet, but it will be the first brick in the wall of building that foundation of turning the corner.

The areas that will be confirming that real change has finally occurred as far as how this team is currently constructed are: 1- Proper, NFL caliber play calling that is able to modify and adjust on the fly-Hue Jackson. 2- Power running and Darren McFadden. It's only two games and is far too early to declare the corner tuned here, but it is sure looking like we have a different runner and and effective scheme properly utilizing the available talent. Now we get Bush back and the Raiders offense can start establishing its identity. Remember what Hue did for Ray Rice and if Hue is having the same effect on DMAC, then the Raiders weak passing offensive line will be neutralized. 3- Run defense. Having already faced Chris Johnson and Steven Jackson in the first two weeks, the run D is showing signs of shedding the ridiculously poor habits of the previous years. Starting with the 2nd half of the Rams game, something seemed to finally click with the Raiders run defense and they were able to make successful adjustments for the first time in years. The players may be better, but so are the coaching, discipline and learning.

TheRaiderWay's key match-ups:

Fitzgerald vs. Nnamdi: This looks like one of the better positional match-ups of the week. Simply put,  these are two of the best at their positions and this should be an epic classic to watch.

McFadden vs. Arizona run D: McFadden is averaging 4.7 yards per carry for the season -- and the Cardinals are allowing 153 yards a game on the ground to go along with their previous-Raiders-years-type missed assignments and sloppy tackling.

Zach Miller vs. Adrian Wilson: I,m really expecting a huge performance by Zach today with his return to Zona and with Bruce at the helm. Zach has proven himself over the last 3 years to be Raiders' best receiver. Wilson is one of the best strong safeties in the NFL.  He had two interceptions in the 2010 opener to prove himself capable of defending the pass as well as being an excellent run-stuffer.  If the Raiders can perfect their play-action passes, they can slow down Wilson and allow Bruce to find Zack on his famous seam routs in the Red Zone.

What do you think Nation? Are the Raiders finally, after seasons of futility, beginning to turn the corner?

The Raiders’ Run D wasn’t all that bad against Tennessee either. Besides the huge run, they had Chris Johnson contained. They shut down Jackson last week, and Hightower/Wells are not better than CJ or Jackson.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

Take another look

Our run D is ranked 27th in the league or there abouts. So I am not sure what your idea of bad is but IMO that is very bad.

When you least expect it there I am waiting below to take you out......if your lucky.

Chris Johnson had 26 carries for 66 yards other than that 75-yard run.

Javon Ringer and Vince Young hurt us more, really. As for the Rams, holding them to 3.6 yards per carry isn’t easy with Steven Jackson back there.

27th

is still 27th. He only had one big run, he only had this many yards for the first half. Well guess what in the end its 4 quarters and the final numbers that matter and we are still 27th.

I just stated some facts. Did I type in capitals and call U retarded or an ass or stoopid? No I didn’t. We R 27th against the run and CJ still 146 on us. Does that mean Marcus Allens 76 run in Super Bowl 18 was nothing because it was one run? Does that mean Bo going for 90 plus against the Shithawks means he is a one play phenom?

Liked your Martin pick on the team, had the same aura to make big plays

as Phil V. I couldn’t leave Bo off the team, man, like you said, Marcus had that versatility to separate himself, that’s’ why I put him at FB. I can’t think of a better 1 2 punch in NFL History.

Does that mean Marcus Allens 76 run in Super Bowl 18 was nothing because it was one run?

Again, you fail to see my point. It’s not a “it means nothing” issue or not. Nobody said it didn’t matter. Those runs count. My point remains that our run defense isn’t as bad as the numbers indicate because we’re consistently making plays in the backfield. We know that to be true holding the Rams to 3.6 yards per carry and Chris Johnson to 66 yards on 26 carries besides that 75-yard run.

We can't say good except for one big run

as this showed in the preseason games also. We gave up “one big run” in a few of those also so it seems like a theme. Unless we consistently not give up the one big run, then we can say it’s a good run D. The signs are there that we can, but we have to show it.

by AllyRdr on Sep 26, 2010 9:16 AM PDT up reply actions  

I never said we were a good run defense.

I agree that the signs are there, though, and I agree that giving up the big run has become like a theme.

This year's run D is a little different, Rolando is in the middle, give him some leeway

to control the line of scrimmage, he has to grab the bull by the horns, let’s hope a good week of practice clears that up a little bit

at least 1 25+ yarder a game it seems like...

i think SJ had 1 last week… but they adjusted well. and STL is not a measurement at no means in any way…

Bruce is under center now so its sorta like we got a fresh start to the season.

by gogomaplata on Sep 26, 2010 9:33 AM PDT up reply actions  

Big, Big, game for us.

If we can score first it will be huge. They are going to have to account for McFadden on every play, and that means Miller time.

If we can score 20, I think we can win this game.
Our defense will be the key to this win

Nice pick of Bruce

"May the wind be at our back, here comes the Silver and Black "

by RUKidding on Sep 26, 2010 5:18 AM PDT reply actions  

I would have to agree that the Defense

was good against CJ and SJ, CJ had the one huge run, Jackson had a decent 1/2 half, but nothing huge. We should be ok here, I seriously doubt Wells plays, seems his bruised knee was actually a scoped knee! I know that it is up to our defense right now to win ballgames as our O tries to find it’s swag, continuing to hold scoring down, providing good field position and stops for multiple oppourtunities. We are not an offense that is goiing to capitalize on every oppourtunity quite yet, so the D needs to be stellar until we can be.
Of course with Grad as the General, I think the offense will be slightly more effective as he is obviously better at improvisation and scrambling. I think Grad has a good day thanks to strong running by DMC and oh yeah hes back MBush. I also think Reece is due for one of those huge screen play for lond TD.

While not feeling super confident about it, I think we take this one in a 10-12 pt win.

As for the poll

it’s a turning point, and I’ll tell you why.

We’re starting, it seems, to get away from our standard way of thinking and allowing things because it’s the standard way. Starting Bruce now and only after 6 quarters of an effective QB proves that. The fact that management is listening to the coaches, and the coaches are willing to even voice an idea of non standards is a step in the right direction.

by mikesd1981 on Sep 26, 2010 6:52 AM PDT reply actions  

Yes

and that will be further confirmed if we see today Nnamdi shadowing Fitzgerald, regardless of which side of the field he lines up on, thus breaking an Al Davis standard.

Except for yielding sacks, our OL is establishing some respect. Satele came back from demotion to play better than ever

Daniel Loper was solid at LG, even Carlise looks decent on most rushing plays. I’d like to see us get 10 1st downs on the 1st two drives by running at them – bring the thunder first and then the lightening (Bruce/Bey/Zach/Murph). Our D made important adjustments at halftime that were evident in both games – I’d like to see Marshall and Waffle make those adjustments, if necessary, earlier … but I’m glad they make them at all and know how.

But they’re pulling out of it now. Things are coming together. The future is looking better. We’ve just gotten too used to losing, but the funk can’t last forever.

We need 2in a row

This will be a water shed moment one way or the other and set the tone for the rest of the season.
Arizona: A very very beatable team. We match up well in every department. It is a game that we “should” win. Losing against the lesser knowns and the not so greats is what establishes the foundation of a winning team. So what if we can pull out a few upsets if we can’t beat the rest of the bottom feeders to separate ourselves from the bottom half and build up.
If we lose due to inability to execute or we are simply out called on D or O IMO some ones head may roll at the coaching level. If we have a melt down at positional level I am ready for another ride on the merry go round depending on which position(s) may be in question.

I totally agree with you on how this will set the tone

2 in a row very important right now especially since cable has been talking about being consistent and putting things together as a team.

some people say its only week 3 but in my mind its week 31st with Cable at the helm. and he hasnt live up to expectations of the team. i think its do or die time now.
