Pre-season Game 2: Raiders @ Cardinals - Friday August 17, 7pm Pacific

[Raider_D]

Did anybody see that running back Powell for the cardinals last night. I really hope the raiders were paying attention. I doubt we can get someone like MJD in here buuuut, That kid powell was playing all out all game and that is what we need to back up DMC. The cardianls already have a good core of running backs so they might be letting if go if not than at least trading for cheap.

I'm sure Reggie is looking at this year as a rebuilding year and let's face it...all new coaches, schemes, etc, etc.  But we have a lot of talent as well...especially on our dline which could be the best in football this year.

We have all been screaming to gut the front office and coaching staff for years and start over so let's remember that this year.  Over the next several years we will do nothing but improve.  But that being said we could make the playoffs and make a stink for some teams.  Look at the positives...McFadden looks incredible, penalties have been extremely low in both games, and our dline is fucking impressive!

We will have some bumps this year no doubt but I think it will be a very exciting and fun year for us

So just to start off and say that losing Michael Bush would bite us in the butt is an understatement........Goodson sucks............he cant hold onto the ball.......he was let go pretty much because he could not hold onto the rock.....now that bush is gone we have no running back..................yep I know......we have Mcfadden.......big freaking deal.........we needed to have a good 2nd string running back because he will most certainly be the starting running back..........until mcfadden stays healthy for a full season then he is a waste of $$$$$$$$$$$$$ and I fully expect this to be his last year wearing the silver and black.................I love mcfadden but he is just like the 300,000$ car that is always in the shop..........(but it certainly looks good broken down on the side of the road..........) I have my dream of USC QB's on  the RAIDERS.....lets hope that Palmer learns how to not throw the ball to the other team all the time................................

Yep.... Goodson looked like he could hang in camp but.... NOT on the real field! Benson is a bitch and wouldn't come here.... So its most likely to be Miller (rookie) to be the backup.... Lets face it folks... there IS a reason the Raiders went for the 85% ticket sales as "sell out." Perhaps they know we will struggle  this season and ticket sales will fall due to bad play by this team...... Lets hope not but its the first thing that I thought..... UGGGGGG

Anyone think that Carson still doesn't know the offense?

NOT good for a vet QB
