    It’s for a reason. Looking at Goodson and Jones

    OAKLAND RAIDERS ‏@RAIDERS

    Raiders not expected to play tonight

  17. J Hill Says:

    Great job Knapp!!!

    Settle the backup RB questions and keep Palmer CLEAN!!!!!

  18. EMRaiders Says:

    Remember what we are doing now is calling plays in order to see the RBs and who gets 2nd spot. Not necessarily a gameplan, more like an audition.

    The second one didnt……or any other one he has called for that matter. Just because I works once doesn’t mean sh!t

  20. J Hill Says:

    Jones better show he can run inside.

    Dancing and bouncing outside is not going to work that often.

    6 straight runs tells me 1 thing, Wiz wont be playing in the opener, and Palmer is only in there to get reps with the center exchange.

  22. morilla Says:

    Jones looks quick, but indecisive. 1 cut and go.

  23. burn_209 Says:

    Houston just blew that play

    lmao ok dude. Don’t you think they have practice to uh….practice the center exchange

  25. alex7 Says:

    Russell Wilson is what we wished Pryor was: a passer who could also run very well.

  26. Carl Weathers Says:

    McClain just labeled Wilson.

    great offense knapp even better run defense tarver…

  29. Random Drug Tester Says:

    Wheeler looks very aggressive and active

  30. Mr. Heisman Lombardi Says:

    That is not a catch

  31. burn_209 Says:

    Spencer had a pick there if he keeps his feet

  32. Al_is_theraiders Says:

    at least da got the red flag out

    ********************
    You can’t practice it with a live defense though. Parsons can make the exchange everytime in practice, you gotta make sure they guy doesn;t get antsy in a game situation. But your right, they have practice, so why do they even play preseason games… unless you think Palmer needed to work on his hand offs.

  35. Klas Tjorborn Says:

    Why play Palmer if you run it 6 straight times?

  36. DJ Johnny Says:

    I hate Pete Carrolls gum chewing happy go lucky dumb azz demeanor.

  37. Raider O Says:

    No good!

  38. Thec Says:

    D starting the rook Christo at DT

  39. Intrepid Says:

    Put a new chair in the Raider room and my laptop(old school) with platform doesn’t fit so well’ I might have to actually watch this game the better to fill you guys in tomorrow on what actually happened.

  40. JT Says:

    Seatle blew the raider defense on that drive.

  41. redshirt Says:

    Russel Wilson looks pretty decent. Remind anyone else a little of Brees?

  42. Twinkle Says:

    Jano nails that right footed.

    Why play Palmer if you run it 6 straight times?
    ///////////good question.

  44. Carl Weathers Says:

    They looked fooled badly on 2 passing plays. Very 2011ish…

  45. Klas Tjorborn Says:

    Real refs would have never screwed up that sideline catch.

  46. Raider O Says:

    LOL DJ.

    TP!!!!

  47. Klas Tjorborn Says:

    Why was Palmer even in game?

  48. burn_209 Says:

But your right, they have practice, so why do they even play preseason games… unless you think Palmer needed to work on his hand offs.

    ———-

    I’m pretty sure a learning how to take a snap is one of the few things in football that you don’t need a live defense to practice effectively. Think about what you just said

  49. Intrepid Says:

    Maybe Taiwan doesn’t get that run without that threat.

  50. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Raider starters done for the night. just 1 series?

  51. morilla Says:

    This is a throw away game. It’s audition night.

  52. bcz24 Says:

    I love the scrub team refs!

  53. Thec Says:

    liono and meyes same speed.

  54. Al_is_theraiders Says:

    this offense is pathetic shape up already!

  55. RaiderRockstar Says:

    look for a replacement ref to sucker punch Tom Cable and break his jaw

  56. Carl Weathers Says:

    Carswell just got cut…

  57. JT Says:

    seatles defense looks very active, much more that raiders D, alls sort of pre snap movement

  58. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Carswell bobbled his opportunity?

  59. bcz24 Says:

    no catch

  60. Twinkle Says:

    Leinart looking real good for all the rust.
    Red flag central.Giving the replacement refs a little
    work.

  61. RaidO Says:

    Palmer is not ready. The 1st team offense is not ready.
    One series?

  62. Thec Says:

    warren moon shut the hell up

  63. Carl Weathers Says:

    You could see the players mocking the refs and DA smirking!

  64. morilla Says:

    Ohh Petey, that was a catch.

    Why you no listen to Papa and Plunk?

  66. RaiderRockstar Says:

    I hope Russell Wilson plays the whole game …

  67. Carl Weathers Says:

    Who is #39? He looks big for a DB.

  68. Random Drug Tester Says:

    Marcus Trufante I think

  69. Klas Tjorborn Says:

    Sweet, big Reggie going to be up next!

  70. Intrepid Says:

    let’s cut Lechler: what is wrong with you people?

  71. Klas Tjorborn Says:

    #39 is Curtis Taylor DB from LSU

  72. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Taylor = 3rd string SS

  73. redshirt Says:

    what the hell you smokin RaidO? most teams only put the 1st team out there for one series in the 4th preseason game.

  74. Carl Weathers Says:

    Thanks klas. I better open up the raider roster page to watch this game!

  75. 303Raider Says:

    Everyone is still panicking? Relax. Call me in Mid-October before I pass judgement.

    Palmer hasn’t played one game with ALL his weapons plus Dmac isn’t playing….

    If Raiders blow this game i’m gonna shoot myself.

  78. Carl Weathers Says:

    Mitchell and Gil with back to back nice plays!!

  79. Twinkle Says:

    Not bad for the first punt of the season.I vote we keep the punter.
    Refs getting the calls right.They wont have time to be anti Raider like some of the regular old timer refs.

    Gio*^

  82. Raider O Says:

    Gio!!!’

  83. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Gio!!

    knocks the piss out of the intended WR to force 4th down

  84. 303Raider Says:

    Mike Mitchell has definelty looked better. Last year we missed those tackles.

    Remember, we didn’t make the playoffs last year because of our Defense.

    gio!!!!

  85. Carl Weathers Says:

    Oh oh, Parrish fumbled the punt return…

  86. Just Fire Baby Says:

    Gio might make the Pro Bowl this season

  87. Twinkle Says:

    DJ say it ain’t so.
    At least wait for a game that means something.

  88. Thec Says:

    G fffiiinn OOOOOOOO…

  89. redshirt Says:

    LOLZ Parish is gone

  90. Mr. Heisman Lombardi Says:

    Goodson makes Roscoe Parrish look like fumbling machine.

  91. 303Raider Says:

    Rosco is cut…..

  92. bcz24 Says:

    See ya later Parrish…

  93. RaiderRockstar Says:

    bye Roscoe!

  94. Klas Tjorborn Says:

    I love Reggie.

  95. Al_is_theraiders Says:

    tired of reggies fumbliltis picks….

  96. DJ Johnny Says:

    Nice debut Parrish…(dumb azz).

  97. alex7 Says:

    why play Palmer if we’re gonna run it 6 straight times?

    lol because if Jones picks up a 1st on that draw, we get a few more plays, and a few of them would have been passes.

  98. Thec Says:

    Gio is a maker

  99. JT Says:

    Dont know about u guys, but 91 crawford and 96 picks by RM, aint looking to impresive

  100. redshirt Says:

    no delay in Sactown

  101. bcz24 Says:

    Good to see Wilson can find some holes against our 2nd team defense

  102. Al_is_theraiders Says:

    wilson carving up zone…

  103. alex7 Says:

    heck of a play by DE #91. who is that?

  104. da trinity Says:

    Watch out killer it’s only preseason

  106. Carl Weathers Says:

    Underwood seems to be a pretty good tackler, maybe he can learn to play corner and add dePth there.

  107. Klas Tjorborn Says:

    #91 is Jack Crawford.

  108. Al_is_theraiders Says:

    i thought reggie knew how to pick players?

  109. alex7 Says:

    Miles Burris can tackle. Breath of fresh air.

  110. 303Raider Says:

    Nice tackle by Burris, kids getting better….

  111. da trinity Says:

    Good tackle burnet

  112. Klas Tjorborn Says:

    It would be funny if Reggie just cut guys on TV.

  113. DJ Johnny Says:

    C’mon…guy was wide open…
    Get yer head outta yer azz Tarver.

    This ain’t Stanford anymore you son of a beyotch.

  114. da trinity Says:

    *burris

  115. redshirt Says:

    WOOOP!

  116. bcz24 Says:

    We have been completely unable to cover FBs out in the flat…

  117. redshirt Says:

    112.

    LMAO

  118. burn_209 Says:

    Good play by DVD. I’m really pullin for that guy to be great

  119. 303Raider Says:

    vanDyke is a skinny mo fo…..

  120. Carl Weathers Says:

    DVD getti picked on in the red zone and he responds with the most physical play I’ve seen from him!!

  121. DJ Johnny Says:

    That’s it.Where’s my gun?

  122. 303Raider Says:

    He’s got speed though…

  123. bcz24 Says:

    Best play out of dvd all year

  124. Twinkle Says:

    Back to backers for DVD….Alright!!

  125. RaiderRockstar Says:

    DVD, Burris & Crawford huge on that drive.

  126. alex7 Says:

    Crawford looks beastly vs run at DE.

    Reggie likes depth of our safeties.

  127. RaiderRockstar Says:

    maybe Van Dyke should be our REDZONE corner?

    lol

    plays better with a short field

  128. Plunketthead Says:

    Gio>Nnamdi
    How about that D?
    I thought the seaturds were a good team

    Second team D smoked them!!

  129. Carl Weathers Says:

    Jones looks like he’s a one trick pony. Bounce it outside or bust.

  130. alex7 Says:

    taiwan still learning not to try and bounce everything outside. Typical fast rookie RB mistake.

  131. RaiderRockstar Says:

    Jones is a dancer, like Bush

  132. 303Raider Says:

    Taiwan is all or nothing….

    He needs to stop dancing…..

  133. Klas Tjorborn Says:

    Where is Plunkett? Is he getting some drinks?

  134. DJ Johnny Says:

    Well, Russell Wilson…the GREAT, SPECTACULAR Russell Wilson..could only get 3 pts. after a turnover in Raider territory…against THE 2ND TEAM RAIDER D.

    Can’t wait to hear that gets spun.

  135. alex7 Says:

    Seahawks D was legit last year and should be top-10 this year. Makes for a boring game.

  136. RaiderRockstar Says:

    new post

  137. 303Raider Says:

    Meanwhile Romney is giving his acceptance speech, lol….

  138. RAIDERMAN99 Says:

    Back to backers for DVD….Alright!!
    =======================================
    LOL. First was a flat out drop. At least he hit the back after the drop. Probably a TD if he holds on to the pass.

    Decent recognition and timing on the 2nd play.

  139. mcfadden20. Says:

    What kinda play was that??

  140. redshirt Says:

    You guys see Papa eyeing the meatball and parm hoagie Big R-Mac was gripping?

  141. DJ Johnny Says:

    Seriously…I hope to hell Knapp has better plays than that on 3rd down…

  142. DJ Johnny Says:

    Carroll’s such a dik he’ll probably keep his starters in the whole game.

  143. Twinkle Says:

    Squat all’s 1st team against our 3rd.Does not bode well for them.Carroll looking for a college job next year?

  144. JT Says:

    I wonder about some raider fans that have hope for a guy like Knapp.

  145. Twinkle Says:

    Mr Sessions…bye bye.

  146. redshirt Says:

    Papa snuck up on him throwing football questions down his throat trying to distract him. Big RMac wasn’t born yesterday though. He knew the score, read that marinera snatching blitz Papa had drawn up.

  147. J Hill Says:

    Well,

    McGee might be safe.

  148. Twinkle Says:

    JT…I believe we are not about to divulge our playbook
    in order to ascertain which 3rd stringers to let go.
    Watching paint dry has more action than this.
    Knapp = long time in NFL.Does not happen without reason

  149. JT Says:

    I dont recall the last time our specials teams looked so disfunctional…

  150. redshirt Says:

    Parish was out late late last night with his old buddy Lynch.

  151. Twinkle Says:

    Parrish gone…opens up a roster spot.

  152. DJ Johnny Says:

    Leinart sucks.

  153. burn_209 Says:

    From a top ten offense to a bottom ten offense…..with the same players…..what does that say?

  154. redshirt Says:

    Leinart looks like hot wet garbage.

  155. burn_209 Says:

    A roster spot for whom? Someone that won’t play? It’s worth keeping him for another game to see if he can salvage our special teams somewhat. Unless you would rather cut him for a 3rd string center

  156. DJ Johnny Says:

    I have NFLN on in the background and Sapp just said “I’ve been training Tommy Kelly since he first started in the league..until NOW”.

  157. DJ Johnny Says:

    Over/Under on Parrish fumbling on the kickoff?

  158. Twinkle Says:

    Burris looking like the real deal.Tackling machine.

  159. DJ Johnny Says:

    This return crap is ridiculous.

  160. Twinkle Says:

    Burn I hear you but 2 for 2 fumbling punts in your job audition wont get it done.

  161. Twinkle Says:

    JT Says:
    August 30th, 2012 at 8:01 pm

    I dont recall the last time our specials teams looked so disfunctional…
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    I can help…..That would be last week.

  162. DJ Johnny Says:

    Yeah Leinart is a starter…lol.

    If he looks this bad against 2nd teamers…

  163. DJ Johnny Says:

    I’m gonna flush my head down the toilet in a minute.

  164. Twinkle Says:

    Not concerned about Leinart….he (for the most part) is hitting them in the hands.

  165. Twinkle Says:

    DJ………..Dude it is a team sport!
    ML is getting reps he missed due to injury.DHB et al do not drop the floaters he throws.
    Maybe even the last pick.

  166. DJ Johnny Says:

    Twinkle,
    I’m just funning around for the most part.

    Not liking the drops either.

    Gordon needs to make that catch….so what if it was a little behind him…maybe.

    QB’s cannot be expected to make perfect pinpoint passes 100% of the time.

    That being said, our offense has not impressed this entire preseason.

  167. Twinkle Says:

    Ah…the all too familiar whiff defense.
    Bye bye Mr Stupar.

  168. DJ Johnny Says:

    2-9 6 yds. 1 int? o td’s?

    Anyway u slice it…that’s not good.

  169. DJ Johnny Says:

    I guess we just cross our fingers that somehow the offense will magically put it all together on MNF?

    Can’t wait to see Pryor in the 2nd half.

  170. Twinkle Says:

    DJ No it has not.But I don’t think for one second that
    we are going to compromise our chance of winning the opener for bragging rites in a meaningless and almost unwatchable scrimmage.Seattle has the most to fear from this…..They played their 1st string the entire half!!!Got two field goals and a TD at the last second.
    This against a bunch of guys that wont be in the league next week.Their little QB had all day to survey the field and produced very little.
    Seymour and Kelly in there and they need a new QB for the next game.Cannot understand what all the excitement is over a practice session.

  171. Twinkle Says:

    You may have to wait a bit for TP.Methinks that Coach
    feels that Matt could use a few more snaps.
