Harris’ stay is a short one
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Saturday, August 29th, 2009 at 12:08 pm in Oakland Raiders.
The Raiders released linebacker Napoleon Harris to make room for Chris O’Neill, who was added to the roster and is expected to face the New Orleans Saints today at the Coliseum.
According to David White’s twitter page, middle linebacker Kirk Morrison said during the pregame walkthrough he would miss the season opener, which would make Ricky Brown the Week 1 starter against San Diego.
Correction: Morrison was talking about missing today’s game against the Saints, not the opener against San Diego.
Morrison has never missed a game due to injury, and coach Tom Cable said during a conference call the day after a 21-20 loss to the 49ers he thought Morrison would be ready to play in Week 1.

Anyone who watches only one or the other, is cheating themselves.

I agree, Vegas, but Oh Really just makes me laugh. Go Raiders!!!

Someone dropped out of your league, post the info so we can get another player before tomorrow’s draft, we need one more to make it 12 teams.
Or 3 more to make it 14, we need an even number of teams so we don’t have a bye week, that sucks.
I forgot the password or I would post it myself.

this is boring waiting for the game to start on nfl network
August 29th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
TW,
You don’t have to believe any of it, just helps expand the horizons a little.
Go Raiders!!!
August 29th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
People in the Bay Area, apparently don’t have any live feeds, while people in Vegas have two. Go figure
August 29th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
I’m getting FUPDUK today.
August 29th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
I know I am in the league so I will go back and find the password for you guys.

we need 1 or 3 more players before tomorrows draft
August 29th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
Enjoy Lynn! I did last night..oy vey!~
Can’t judge the run D today becuase of injury and who’s playing but wouldn’t it be odd if it rawked with some guys out?
Looking forward to seeing Bey make a play or two. Hope the passing game to the wides is active. That would be a good sign…
Worried about the O line not only in protection, but now in the run as well…
Grrrr! C’mon Raiders!!!

I think we’re set with 10 teams, close it out 4eva…unless you guys want more.
August 29th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Bob Marley…it was me because my 1st draft is scheduled 1 hour B4 your draft and I dont know if I could do 2 drafts at the same time.Me personally do 2 drafts at the same time cause I am NOT comupter savvy.I hope I can do my 1st one right!!!
August 29th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Darnell Bing just made a good play to save a TD for the Lions on that last drive. There’s a player who never really got a shot with us who we drafted in the 4th round, that would definitely be in the LB battle we’re having now. Rather have him out there than the undrafted O’neill
August 29th, 2009 at 12:38 pm
Like to see how Bush does starting today, because he has been more of a “finisher” so far in his short career. If he wants more carries, he has to be better out-of-the gate.
August 29th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
I dropped too because I work on Sundays and can’t do a live draft.
The other league on here set the draft for Sat.
August 29th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
yeah a scheduling conflict…
1day and 10 hours
1day and 9 hours
August 29th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
4eva
That’s fine, we’re set now with 10 teams
August 29th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
4eva
You’re still the commish, can you close it out? set the max teams to 10 and we’re done…thanks.
August 29th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
I hear ya Vegas…
I hope Bush does soo good 2day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cuase that means our )-line did sooo good 2day!!!!!!
Man the Saints stomped us last year…Lets see if Cable holds a grudge,even if it is only PRE
August 29th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I thought AZ Raider was the commish
August 29th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
I am almost positive it’s not me unless Oak pulled a fast 1 =)
August 29th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Drew Brees is a pro’s-pro, if he looks anything other than great today, that is a good sign for ANY D.
4eva,
I think the O-line (at least in pass protection) has been one of the biggest highlights, if not THE biggest highlight. Our boy Mario makes it look effortless. Can’t wait….Smokey Time!!!!
August 29th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
That’s right, Oaklifer is the commish..I was confused.
August 29th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Did it ever occur to anyone that the reason we had a sanguine, propitious and encouraging offensive showing at close of camp is because we have the same pathetic defense. It is any wonder thatMcFadden was deemed “The Top Offensive Player”. Aren’t all running backs “Top Offensive Players” against this run defense? Year in and year out, we turn out running backs, guys who were unknowns but become well-knowns because of the spectacular numbers they leave a Raiders game with. Our MAJOR problem is OUR RUN DEFENSE. New Orleans is going to run right at our weakness. But don’t be surprised if the initial dissection of this defense is via AIR. If there were Sea, they would beat us by land, sea and air. Route sucks and I hope he is not the starter. I would not lose any sleep, or even blink if he got cut. Huff is weak. Had one good catch. bfd! Al Davis should have some big tax write-offs for charitable contributions (See Turd Sands, Fargus (this year), James Jet, two-yard Tyron, E. James, etc…) Not only do they have a spectacular passing game but the have a great run game. On defense they have real studs all over the place. Plan on cringing several times during this game. Note time of this entry. Final score: 31-10 N.O.
August 29th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
Man one of my secret FF players will be revealed 2day 4 NO
August 29th, 2009 at 1:01 pm
and no its not Brees we all want him
August 29th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
RAIDERS BUMAYE!!! RAIDERS BUMAYE!!! RAIDERS BUMAYE!!!
Man I haven’t this worked up about a pre-season game in years!
RAIDERS BUMAYE!!!!!!
August 29th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
What up Nation – been a while.
Ricky Brown should be fired up today, with Kirk out nows his chance to take over the MLB job for good.
I’d like to see DHB get some chances early, a few deep throws should loosen up the Aintz D.
August 29th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
see you fellas later, time to focus on the game
August 29th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
It’s On!!!

August 29th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Saints using the middle of the field passing so far.
Ricky Brown having a hard time in coverage.
August 29th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
This is ugly!!
August 29th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Yep attacking Ricky Brown they know Morrison is out
August 29th, 2009 at 1:20 pm

August 29th, 2009 at 1:22 pm

August 29th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Saints drive and score at will..Wow..Too easy is right
August 29th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Where are the DTs????????????
August 29th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
Number 91 got ran over by Saints back on the score.
August 29th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
5 minute drive 80 yards 10 plays
Made us look like a little league team
Like Flores said whee is the DT and where is DE
August 29th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Are there any DTs on the field?!?!?
August 29th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
No pressure on Breea at all…Where is the defensive pressur? Al davis defense special.
August 29th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Hello Raider Fans we are 31st against the run and we thought that a new DC would fix that?
August 29th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
That first drive is def. not a good sign for this Raider defense. I understand it’s one drive in a pre-season game…but…defensive line is a HUGE question mark. And that def. is telling about how our defense is going play this year..
Maybe our offense can answer
August 29th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
DAMN
August 29th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
We have an offense!!!!
August 29th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
DUMB ASS
August 29th, 2009 at 1:29 pm
An error on Russels part..get rid of the ball
August 29th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Cmon JR!!!!
We need a RT, and a DT!
August 29th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
This is why you have to play D
Its just not possible to score on every drive in this league.
August 29th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Mop Handle Got handled!!!
August 29th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
I think any offense looks good against this “back on their heals defense”
August 29th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Joseph can tackle!
Take note Turd Sands
August 29th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
D Bryant can play!
August 29th, 2009 at 1:34 pm
Raiders get out coached.
Saints call a screen against Raiders blitz on 3rd down
August 29th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
one guy can play Defense Nnamdi
August 29th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
HA! good pressure by the front four!!! wOW! I’m done. This is a joke..
Getting out coached..out ownered!
August 29th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
TD Saints. again
August 29th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Its just too easy for teams to score on us
August 29th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
This defense is in serious trouble. This looks bad guys.
Absolutely no pressure. Playing with no emotion.
August 29th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Raiders out of the run game in the 1st quarter. Down 14-0 already.
Saints playing against the scout team
August 29th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
defense looks really bad. of course it doesn’t help when your QB holds on to ball for 13 seconds and gets stripped!
August 29th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
black outfits a liability in 100 degree weather
August 29th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
Cornell Green penalty on 3rd down – what a shocker – someone shoot me now please!
August 29th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Observe Brees dissect our PASS defense! (as predicted) This stupid blog only authorizes entry at intervals! Sucks man! “You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down.” What, you can only post once an hour? By the time this get’s posted the comment is meaningless, especially on Game Day. Stupid! FIX THIS CRAP! This blog is supposed IMPROVE, NOT RETROGRESS. Figures, if it is associated with Al Davis it has to be dysfunctional.
August 29th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Bryant can play
August 29th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
this team is garbage to watch where are the ricky suppoters now lol ha ha ha ha
August 29th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
They run through us like a hot knife through butter in the sun
August 29th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
FINALLY. Bryant gets the sack.
Then they promptly give up 16 on the ground. Then another for a first.
August 29th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Play Bryant at Base End, and Ellis on RE!!!
August 29th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Huff was late or that was a completion
August 29th, 2009 at 1:49 pm

August 29th, 2009 at 1:49 pm

Crowd booing the Raiders
August 29th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
Nice first quarter.

August 29th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Another long season of having to listen to every talking head on every network laugh at how pathetic we are.
August 29th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Crowd is really laying into them.
August 29th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
I am so tired of the Al Davis crap
August 29th, 2009 at 2:39 pm
