This is the game where the offense should pull out all of the stops.
The Tennessee defense is the best that we've faced so far this year and the simple offensive plan that Lane Kiffin has chosen to run in the first 6 games, WILL NOT get it done against the stout Titan defense.
I think that it is NO coincidence that the run game has gone the way of LaMont Jordan's back
He is in a contract year and is trying to get his numbers to the detriment of the team.
Rhodes needs to be moved to the #1 back and LaMont, needs to be the change of pace back.
There were rumblings within the organization that JaMarcus Russell would get into the game if it went South by the 4th quarter. He has been placed on the inactive list although he is listed as the 3rd QB.
The game is about to start.
I will try and keep everyone up to date by Live Blogging the game!!!
Let's Go Raiders!!!

The Weather is 58 degrees and the sky is clear:
Vince Young is under center and there goes the running game, Lendale for 5. Kelly made the tackle while Huff ran the other way. I have a spotlihht on Huff and Schweig today.
2nd and 4: pass dropped by Moulds
3rd and 4: Pass broken up by Howard.
Titans Punt: Fair Caught by Chris "Fair Catch" Carr.
1st and 10: Daunte avoids the rush but throws behind his intended receiver.
2nd and 10: False start by Cornell
2nd and 15: There is OUR OFFENSE!!!! Daunte to Porter for 22 yards.
1st and 10 Raiders from Midfield: Good play call, bad execution. Pass is batted down at the line.
2nd and 10: Jordan for 4
3rd and 6:I'd look for Miller here. Or our best 3rd down option in 2007, RONALD CURRY. Curry made two great moves for a RAIDER FIRST DOWN!!!
1st and 10 from the 39: Jordan for 1 yard
2nd and 9: Finally Fargas gets the ball!!! Gain of 6. Haynesworth "less" is out and now so should LaMont.

Another Touchback:
2nd and 6: Lendale stacked up by Tommy Kelly, Loss of 1
3rd and 7: Morrison contained Vince Young and the Titaans have to punt.
Chris Car return for 15: Penalty on the play, Raider get the ball on their own 16:
1st and 10: Play action roll out, Daunte evades the rush and throws it away.
2nd and 10: man, Jordan got his legs pumping and ran for 4. Holding on O'Neal.
2nd and 18: Daunte gets hit hard again and fumbles. Raiders recover.
3rd and 20: Cornell Green is down. I wonder who will take his place? Maybe McQuistan?
That was the exact play call that I wanted. Fargas for 13. Keep Jordan on the sideline!!!
Lechler Punt for 50 yards with an 8 yard return.
The Titans take over at the 37:
