This game is not gonna be a gimme. They're gonna play us tough but I think Crabs is gonna have a monster game against them and we will end up victorious.

It only seems like the raiders had a decent draft this year because they usually have horrible drafts.

oh i see.. the raiders are very well drafts but al david is soo freak and worst draft. He should draft Sean weatherspoon better than Mcclain.. Mcclain looks like a bit slow speed and very well tackles. I wants the Raiders must smart to draft cuz I support the Raiders live in Calif. I love 49ers and Raiders are shall supports each others only in calif! Let's go Calif..

Quote:
The Raiders have moved Khalif Barnes inside to guard.

Quote:
Fourth-round draft choice Bruce Campbell, a left tackle at Maryland, has been switched to right guard, backing up Cooper Carlisle.

"Yes, I do feel comfortable," Campbell said. "It's not that bad at all. It's just I have a little more help. I'm not one-on-one outside. I actually am going to start running a lot more than I did at the tackle position anyway. I like to run. I like to use my speed and everything else just to play football. It's putting (me) somewhere and making me do something I like to do."

Said coach Tom Cable: "Let's find out how he learns and how he adapts to what we're doing. Again, if I put him at one of those tackles spots he'd go in there as a third(-teamer). This gives him a chance to get in there in that second(-team) huddle where he's going to get a lot of work and we can start his development right away, rather than retard it if he's getting a few reps as a third."

Quote:
The Raiders maintained their 4-3 defense, despite speculation that they'd be switching to a 3-4, and first-round draft choice Rolando McClain played middle linebacker.

"I'm used to being lined up over a guard every play, taking on the guard," McClain said. "But out here, I'm not over guard. I'm able to run, run free, make some plays without so much traffic in front of me. So, it's a little bit easier. I have a good, veteran D-line and today, especially, they did a great job keeping me free. So, I'm looking forward to playing the 4-3."

What does their front 7 look like in a 4-3?

Not entirely sure, as Cable has been elusive about their defense, only confirming it will be a 4-3.

Seymour and Houston are supposedly going to play end in the base D (Seymour will likely shift inside in the nickel D). Kelly and Bryant are the starting DT's I believe as of right now. Shaughnessy and Richardson are still all part of the DE equation.

At linebacker McClain will start in the middle, Wimbley at SAM and Trevor Scott, Quentin Groves and Thomas Howard will compete for PT on the weakside.

I thought Houston would be given the chance to unseat Kelly or at least cut into his snaps in the base D but they want him at end

is Al Davis back? Scott Osler thinks that signs sure make it seem so

This is why we can't get excited over rookies.

This is why you can:

I still think Jemarcus needs more time behind the scenes.

He shouldn't have been thrown to the wolves.

The money also hurt him as well as the sh*tty coaching.

Good luck, Jemarcus. I think you'll make the raiders regret it.

it would be so funny if Shanahan picks him up and turns him into a probowler hahaha. or Billichek takes him to the darkside and sits him behind brady for a year or two and unleashes him on the league. after his liposuction surgery ofcourse.
