THAT'S WHAT'S UP CHREE.. WE MAY NEED TO LINK AT THE GAME.. RAIDERS FANS ARE ALWAYS DEEP AT THE STICK WHEN WE PLAY.. NINER FANS AREN'T AS COMMON WHEN WE PLAY IN THE O.
i hope our offensive line shows up. i really think they're the key to our success this year. because i'm not looking forward to seeing 3rd and long, with 7-8 men in the box ready to blitz the shit out of drew "cement legs" bledsoe. i like our 1-2 punch combos of jones/barber and owens/glenn. not to mention a pro bowler in witten.
our defense looks to be pretty sick, i think our defense will improve a lot. we got a good combination of veterans and young guys on defense.
Agreed. We were doin well last year until we lost pro bowl offensive linemen. That's when the wheels came off pretty much. If the line stays healthy, they should be able to give Bledsoe the time he needs to find TO, Glenn and Witten.
Yeah our defense can be great. Ware, Spears, Roy Williams, Terrance Newman and Anthony Henry have the potential to dominate. Henry was out for several games last season, and that really hurt us since he was the best corner up to when he went out.
There has been a couple of injuries in certain teams and some of those might affect the teams they are playing for.
For example im not too sure roethlisberger is gonna be at 100% by the time the season arrives. So i think that the steelers might struggle the first couple of games.
Has anyone changed their oponion on how certain teams are gonna do?
Their defense is a question to me. They're young(Karlos Dansby, Antrel Rolle), and have talent(Adrian Wilson, Bert Berry) But...there's no denying Dansby and Wilson are straight beasts. Berry is a pretty good pass rusher, hopefully he'll recover well from his injury from last year...
AUG 6 is when the Raiders get down.... Damn I can't wait!! Hopefully I can get some tickets to the 49er game. I gotta see that Brooks to Moss connection live in person. I will try and then when can hook up and have fun!!
Talent has never been a problem with the Raiders. The team has high draft picks and huge amounts of talent on offense, including WRs Randy Moss and Jerry Porter, RB LaMont Jordan and OL Robert Gallery, who's moving to his natural left tackle position. The Raiders also added talent to their defense in the draft with DB Michael Huff and LB Thomas Howard. If the Raiders can play with consistency and discipline, two things respected coach Art Shell should bring to the table, the Raiders have a chance. Within the division, the Chargers have a new QB to break in, the Broncos have questions on their roster and until the Chiefs prove they have a good defense, they will be beatable."

The questions are??? That is funny. OUr starting line-up is SET! I mean 1 question would be will Elvis make up for the 1 sack that Trevor Pryce got us last year. Or another question is which back will be the next to get over 1000, or another question is how will Williams and foxworth play now that they kicked ass as rookies and still have Champ and Lynch back there to help them.
