Lance gets a full half. Will he last through the quarter? I guess the question is, will Shanny use Lance as a runner? Like he said he woouldn’t? I haven’t railed on Shanny’s (mis)use of Lance lately, but the point remains. Leave him in the pocket for fuck’s sake. Let him build a rhythm and some consistency in the pocket before trying to run him.
Funny that we play Jimmy G in his first game as a Raider. Haven’t heard if he’s gonna play or not, but to my thinking, he should. If only to get hit by the guys he used to play with. And Derek Carr is shredding the KC defense as both teams are going at it with their starters.
We won’t be. Purdy apparently struggled through the practice sessions with the Raiders, and if we war making the Raider defense look good, well that don’t bode well. Still and all, preseason means nothing, if only to solidify the starters.
Guy to look out for is UDFA CB D’Shawn Jamison. He’s only 5’9″ but is getting rave reviews from everyone on the team, including Charvarius Ward, who said he’s learning how to backpedal better from him. High praise for an undrafted rook fighting for a spot.
The RB Price is also getting rave reviews. I hope it’s not just smoke.
All 2nd team defense to play the game. This will be interesting
You cannot evaluate your QB when he has no protection
Gee that o line looks deep. Jesus
Gee. Run to set up the pass
Aaaaaandnthe miss.
WR Ronnie Bell is looking like a keeper and can return punts and Kickoffs he’s definitely more versatile and physical then WR Danny Gray who’s a cut victim in my book..
Bell gave up the pick, Moody missed his one FG attempt, and Latu fumbled a catch.
The rookies were a little wobbly although Bell had some nice catches. That being said, Jamison is an explosive punt returner. And we were in mid-season penalty form on the punts.
Shit game, but the Raiders always peak too early.
