The Raiders are also probably going to have an Oline that is returning only one starter from last year (Center)

It's like TFFs wet dream

Remember before 2012 when Raiders fans were all talking poo poo about Crabtree like 'I guess Al Davis knew what he was doing after all :smug:' and then Crabtree promptly puts up a 1000 yard season once Kaepernick takes over the starting job? That was pretty funny.

I may have felt some schadenfreude when Crabtree performed terribly, but I knew that even if the Raiders took him that he would have been a bust

quote:

The Raiders ended practice Wednesday with a two-minute drill where the offense needed to score a touchdown to win.

Quarterback Matt Schaub, who has been extremely sharp since the Raiders went to padded practices Sunday, got the Raiders in the end zone on the 10th play of the drive with a short flip to Denarius Moore in the back of the end zone.

Schaub patiently completed short passes down the field, moving the chains and exhausting the clock until the touchdown, which came when Moore got free against Chimdi Chekwa.

“It definitely feels pretty crisp, but there’s always stuff we can clean up, things we can get better at,”Schaub said. “We’re not there yet, but it’s some quality work we’re getting in and a good defense we’re seeing on a day to day basis. We’re just trying to make each other better.”

Wide receiver Rod Streater, stayed out of team sessions while recovering from a concussion, can see the difference in the offense with Schaub in command.

“He’s been very impressive, completing a lot of passes compared to what we were last year,” Streater said. “It’s looking way better. His two-minute drive ended with a touchdown so I think we’re way ahead of where we were last year.”

I'm starting to think it's more likely than going 4-12. This camp might be the best I've ever heard from them. Everything is clicking, all the players are insanely motivated. It feels different. Staying healthy, this team could easily push for 7-9. Easily.

I've read every tweet, read every article, from every_single_day of Raiders training camps since ~2007 and I've never seen such positive reactions like these coming from even the most cynical beat writers.

Weren't most reports from the Raiders that Wilson was just unbelievably dense and couldn't learn the playbook?

The Raiders are a QB hungry team that has a GM/HC that are under extreme scrutiny about every move they make regarding the draft and whose jobs are on the line and they still decided to release him asap. That's how bad Tyler Wilson is.

2 (36) - Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State - Looks great for a rookie, progressing as well as you'd want him to
3 (81) - Gabe Jackson, OG, Mississippi State - Looks great, should be starter at guard very soon
4 (107) - Justin Ellis, DT, Louisiana Tech - Looks good/great, sometimes can eat up two blockers, sometimes not
4 (116) - Keith McGill, CB, Utah - Looks pretty good

7 (235) - Shelby Harris, DE, Illinois State - Looks great

can you say that a Raider is looking really good if they're playing exclusively against other Raiders at this point?

Say you have a favorite ax for chopping wood. One day the head of the ax chips and you decide to have a new one shipped in from houston. Then the next day the wooden shaft decides to break and you go out and buy a new one. Is it the same ax? The ax was lovely in the first place though. In fact you're not sure why you ever liked that ax to begin with

in an unrelated note the Oakland Raiders will be scrimmaging with the Dallas Cowboys soon and I can answer your question then

Steelers:








Dri Archer seems like he is going to torment people. I hope Brad Wing makes the team and taunts on every single punt, fake or not. Ryan Shazier seems to have solidified his starting role. Sean Spence as a third stringer, I hope the guy can get healthy and have a breakout year. Dude has been derailed his entire pro-career by injuries after a promising college one. Also, hopefully Jarvis Jones is ready to step up and isn't jsut "welp we drafted him early, lets toss him in at #1." CB is shaping up as I expected. I hope McCullers either makes the practice squad, or is stashed away because I think he is a great development project.
