Anybody You Looking Forward To Seeing Thursday Night

Really doubt starters play past the 1st quarter

1. Jason Cherry. Haven't seen him since the first game. So he's going to get his chance Thurs.

2. Everrett Brown. He's been improving game by game. Would like to see if he's improved once again

3. Larry Beavers. He so fast, you see that he is fast, but if you was told how fast he was moving, you would still be shocked. But NFL is different than college. Might return some kicks, we'll see

4. Our new DT, Louis Leonard if he plays. Would like to see what kind of push he gets up front

And the usual, you know who they are

I'm looking forward about as much as I have been for the first three.

Last year was a pleasant surprise, thanks mostly to the emergence of the run game.

With Fox's history of keeping pre-season games simple, I don't expect to see anything worth paying much attention to.

unless the defense plays lights out I think Fox will be forced to play them a tad more than he would normally like.......botton line is (no matter how much wishful thinking is done) if you can't get it done on a practice field it ain't gonna happen when it counts. these guys need real work and this the last time they get to "work on things" before the L's start to count.

I will be interested to see where Leonard plays and for how long. I would bet that he doesn't start but he will get time with the one's assuming they play. If the one's play I'd like to see the offense at least get a field goal and it would be nice to see the defense get some pressure and force a three and out.

Other players I look forward to seeing are Kenneth Moore (hope he gets to return some punts), Barnidge (he didn't have a catch or a target last week), Martin (see how he is doing at safety), and Munnerlyn (I think if he can make a big play at corner he might get the nickel job).

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
