Lineup changes

By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Friday, August 29th, 2008 at 6:59 pm in Oakland Raiders.

Rather than go through the usual process of announcing lineup changes on the flip card, the Seahawks passed out the changes to members of the media. Announcing them would have taken into the second quarter.

WR Johnnie Lee Higgins for Javon Walker
LT Mario Henderson for Kwame Harris
LG Paul McQuistan for Robert Gallery
C John Wade for Jake Grove
RG Chris Morris for Cooper Carlisle
RT Seth Wand for Cornell Green
TE John Madsen for Zach Miller
WR Todd Watkins for Ronald Curry
QB Andrew Walter for JaMarcus Russell
FB Luke Lawton for Justin Griffith
RB Darren McFadden for Justin Fargas

LDE Trevor Scott for Derrick Burgess
DT Josh Shaw for Tommy Kelly
DT Terdell Sands for Gerard Warren
RDE Kalimba Edwards for Jay Richardson
SLB Robert Thomas for Ricky Brown
MLB Isaiah Ekejiuba for Kirk Morrison
WLB Sam Williams for Thomas Howard
CB Chris Johnson for DeAngelo Hall
CB Stanford Routt/Michael Waddell for Nnamdi Asomugha
SS Tyvon Branch for Gibril Wilson
FS Nate Lyles for Michael Huff

Interesting to see if Thomas starts at strong side linebacker after sustaining a knee injury last week. Watkins’ start would indicate he enters the game on solid ground with regard to making the roster, pending any acquisitions Saturday.

  12. 408RAIDER Says:

    gettin ugly

    come on D we got this

  13. MR Says:

    Russell would have scrambled and gotten the 1st down. No linebacker in site in the flat. It’s preseason, though. I could care less. Just saying. Walter sucks.

  14. 408RAIDER Says:

    Thec

    I wanna see bush return 1

  15. MR Says:

    408, how much money did you put on this game?

  16. Mose Says:

    Fumble was that hendersons guy

  17. 408RAIDER Says:

    Andrew is gonna take charge next drive

  18. Thec Says:

    Yeah that would be interesting seeing MBUSH run 1. Our oline is gonna get AW killed.

  19. BART Bridge Balla Says:

  23. Thec Says:

    we cant tackle now

  24. Mose Says:

    ok were not tackling, there tanking, cause this dont matter

  25. MR Says:

    I’m missing all of the plays reading this blog. All I know is every time I look at the t.v., the Seahawks have advanced another 20 yards.

    Ouch! This Tuckett guy, who might be the slowest running back I’ve ever seen, just outran out entire defense and scored. I’m done. You guys enjoy the train wreck.

  26. 408RAIDER Says:

    not again

    ufck what a joke we need depth

  27. Mose Says:

    camp fodder haha, welcome to the nfl nate lyles

  28. Thec Says:

    Post 25, I had to laugh it is funny….

  29. 408RAIDER Says:

    yo mr

    don’t start and don’t let the door hit you on your way out

  30. 915raider Says:

    wtf was that

  31. MR Says:

    HOLY S’T! THIS IS BY FAR THE DRUNKEST I’VE EVER SEEN ATKINSON! ARE YOU GUYS WATCHING? THEY HAVE TO YANK HIM. HE CAN’T EVEN TALK.

  32. Mose Says:

    im giving this one more drive, i know the end of this story

  33. 408RAIDER Says:

    JLH

  34. newenglandraider Says:

    UHHG! WHERE CAN I SEE THE GAME ONLINE? TKS

  35. Thec Says:

    I cant see it but dude does sound drunk….

  36. 408RAIDER Says:

    freakin MR

    I have to agree

  37. JB Says:

    We have more than our share of CUT prospects. The entire defense now on the field are beyond TERRIBLE! Now we know what Kiffin really meant we he said we have no talent in the back-up ranks.

    Rob Ryan, why are you yelling and screaming at those dildos. If that’s a sample of our tackling skills, we are doomed.

  38. MR Says:

    Thec, he can’t even talk. He sounds like he got a hold of A.I.’s norcos.

  39. 408RAIDER Says:

    D Dwag

  40. 915raider Says:

    if you have dish network you can order ktla for $1.50

  41. krawfdadd Says:

    WHAT SITE CN I WTCH THE GM ON

  42. 408RAIDER Says:

    New guy new guy

  43. Thec Says:

    Mr, they need to keep dude off the mike….

  44. La Milicia Negra Says:

    and this is what I stayed up for?.. no feed and sh1tty play =)

  45. JB Says:

    At least Andrew Walter is on. Now all we need is a WR who can run a complete pattern.

  46. 408RAIDER Says:

    never hesitate

  47. krawfdadd Says:

    JUSTIN TV NOT HOSTING 2NITE

  48. 408RAIDER Says:

    JLH

    get ur money

  49. Thec Says:

    radio only http://www.ksfo560.com

  50. MR Says:

    Both teams are definitely playing their backups. I haven’t seen an offensive play yet that didn’t go for at least 10 yards, both teams. I’m gonna keep watching to see if they show Atkinson again.

  51. 408RAIDER Says:

    McFadden with the block

  52. JB Says:

    If Henderson doesn’t perform tonight, his scholarship days are over. He’s a revolving door out there.

  53. 408RAIDER Says:

    freakin nightmare

  54. Thec Says:

    2nd time AW over threw the WR he wants to get cut….

  55. Thec Says:

    What the hell was that???????
    This is like the 3 stooges

  56. MR Says:

    This is a joke. This is no football game. You’ll find more organized tackle football at your nearest park. They should just keep the camera on Atkinson.

  57. Andrews Mom Says:

    I guess I should be glad I cant see this.

  58. 408RAIDER Says:

    Thec

    ther killing me out there bro…

  59. MR Says:

    And mike him! Mike up Atkinson and keep the camera on him, and then just split screen the game.

  60. BART Bridge Balla Says:

    this is like watching 2006 all over again. Pray for the health of our starters

  61. Mose Says:

    no wonder we dont kick field goals that better not happen in 10 days

  62. Thec Says:

    Atkinson needs to stay off the sauce…..
    He sounded F@CKED up……

  63. JB Says:

    PATHETIC PERFORMANCE. What have these losers been practicing every day? And people criticize Kiffin for ragging AD about the lack of talent.

    What better way to make your point. Showcase mediocrity.

  64. 408RAIDER Says:

    Andrews Mom

    Please get your boy into the game

  65. MR Says:

    My eyes are going back and forth between the monitor and my t.v. screen. Has there been one offensive play for less than 10 yards yet in this game?

  66. Thec Says:

    wtffffffffffUUUUUKKKKKKK

  67. JB Says:

    Alston #47 simply can’t tackle. Imagine, a LB that has no stopping skill.

  68. MR Says:

    …….

    Bingo.

  69. La Milicia Negra Says:

    KrawDadd..

    I believe its a dud tonight :/ no game on P2P..

  70. coinman Says:

    strike football looked better than this…

  71. MR Says:

    If Seattle scores here, Kiffin should just pull our defense. Just give Seattle 7 points for every possession, and focus on offense.

  72. JB Says:

    Kiffin needs to go over there and give RR a good smack in the back of the head.

  73. Terrapin Says:

    Man…I’m not watchin but those backups are sounding awful. The defensive backups sound worse than the offensive backups.

  74. Jon Gruden's wife! Says:

    LOL @ those of you who like a Kiffin lead team!

  75. Andrews Mom Says:

    Who are the announcers on 560 radio?

  76. Jon Gruden's wife! Says:

    Kicking game looks strong! Way to go coach!

  77. Terrapin Says:

    I expect lots of singings this week.

  78. Thec Says:

    PAPA and Flores

  79. MR Says:

    Listen to Popa rationalize this mess by pointing out we have a young roster. S’t, I’d take our 2002 roster, at their real time age, at present day, over this.

  80. Andrews Mom Says:

    thanks

  81. Jon Gruden's wife! Says:

    Way to keep going for it on 4th down all pre-season….

    Great idea!

  82. Hell Raiderrrs Says:

    I am watching and they are bad. Real bad.

  83. Thec Says:

    Would it be benificial to wait til game 1, then we dont have to pay…. Only problem is if you wait you
    miss the goodies.

  84. MR Says:

    JB, Kiffin slap Ryan in the head? Usually it’s the other way around with the Ryans. I’m a Kiffin guy, but I’d love to see Ryan do it, and Kiffin run from him. Everybody scuffling around and fighting, Atkinson running over and not knowing who to punch.

  85. Terrapin Says:

    Thank G for the red flag….Kiffin’s going to have to use that a lot to protect against officiating this season if preseason is any indication. If only we could challenge horse collars.

  86. Thec Says:

    Atkinson probably hit himself…… Man he is awful

  87. Andrews Mom Says:

    AW is warmed up now. Just give him a little protection and the rout is on!

  88. 408RAIDER Says:

    This is bad Nation

  89. MR Says:

    JT’s doing the sideline reporting now. Guess Atkinson already passed out. Damn.

  90. Hell Raiderrrs Says:

    #68

    I have to agree with MR on this one. My kids Pop Warner team exacutes better then this mess.

  91. Jon Gruden's wife! Says:

    Kiffin isn’t gping to make it the whole season….Fargas doesn’t sound confident….

    He’ld be better off to speak the truth!

  92. WOW! Says:

    Atkison can NOT talk! who agrees?

  93. Jon Gruden's wife! Says:

    We are just a poorly coached team…..end of discussion….

    I think I’m gonna watch judge Judy!

    Later fellas!

  94. Thec Says:

    I am not worried about the O… Our backup D is weak

  95. 408RAIDER Says:

    the line blows

  96. La Milicia Negra Says:

    hasn’t it been Papa and Flores, whom been announcing in radio, for ages ??

  97. MR Says:

    Nice catch, Shields. Must be the number. 84.

  98. MR Says:

    Tom Flores: “He didn’t have to tackle the ball, just receive it!”.

    Ha! First funny of the night from the booth.

  99. 408RAIDER Says:

    ufck I dont know if I wanna keep watching this

  100. Thec Says:

    Disagree Mr, you got a couple of good ones off…… but that was funny from coac flores

  101. 408RAIDER Says:

    LMN yep

  102. La Milicia Negra Says:

    # WOW! Says:
    August 29th, 2008 at 7:43 pm

    Atkison can NOT talk! who agrees?
    ______________________________________________________

    give the man a break, he’s drunk =)

  103. MR Says:

    LMN, Flores and Popa are simulcasting, they’re on radio and t.v. A casualty of Walker and Kelly’s salaries, my guess.

  104. Terrapin Says:

    Boy ..if you think this is bad …wait till the 2nd half comes when the backups of the backups come in. I’ll just prefer to turn off the radio than bare witness to that.

  105. El Dirty Says:

    408

    Im telling u this why I don’t post it hurts… will post next week when it counts.

  106. 408RAIDER Says:

    ok ok here we go D

  107. La Milicia Negra Says:

    whats the record for most throw attempts by a punter in a game??

  108. La Milicia Negra Says:

    new thread

  109. Hell Raiderrrs Says:

    First nice play and its from Johnson and he was being blocked when he made the tackle.
