This is the first time since 2009, the Raiders are scrimmaging against another team in camp. They head to Oxnard to face the Cowboys for a couple days in the hopes of better preparing for the regular season and finding their best players in the process.

"I think getting a lot of great competition," said Dennis Allen of the scrimmage. "Getting a chance to see some different looks, from a different team, go up against different personnel. I think anytime at this point in training camp, anything you can do to change up the schedule a little bit to get the guys a little bit of energy, I think is a positive. I'm looking for our guys to go down there and compete for two days against a good football team."

"Yeah, [Cowboys Head Coach] Jason [Garrett] and I got together and talked about the situations that we want to work and the coordinators are in the process of scripting those things out right now, so it'll be a lot of situational work that we'll do down there."

Hope to see you there.
