Preseason Week 2: Oakland Raiders (0-1) vs Arizona Cardinals (0-1)…


                                                                                                                       Good Afternoon and Welcome students we are back again with our preseason preview of the Oakland Raiders. Now this game was much better for the Raiders. The reserves played very well in their time on the field and the starters on defense looked like real studs. Although this week didn’t result in a victory either the Raiders definitely looked like a better squad…

Score: Cardinals 31, Raiders 27

Offense: B+ (Passing Yrds: 171yrds. Rushing Yrds: 113yrds): The offense as a whole looked good. They don’t necessarily look regular season ready but  they definitely had their bright spots in this game against a pretty good Cardinals defense…

Quarterbacks: A- (C.Palmer 13/24 107yrds 1INT, M.Leinart 5/8 66yrds): Now Carson Palmer did look a lot better than he did last week. But the decision making that he is doing is still in question. But Leinart stayed steady and looks to be a solid backup should Palmer flounder…

Running Backs: B+ (L.Miller 15/54yrds, D.McFadden 9/34yrds): McFadden once again looked like a man on a mission. But unfortunately wasn’t able to produce a lot of a lot of yards or any touchdowns. Neither did his backup Miller in extended play time but as a whole they looked good…

Wide Receivers: C+ (R.Streater 7/43yrds, J.Ford 2/21yrds): Although backup receiver Streater looked good again the loss of Jacoby Ford to injury definitely  makes this a weaker squad overall and they performed like it. But I think that they will be able to get by until they can get him back on the field…

Defense: B+ (Passing Yards All. 95yrds, Rushing Yards All. 127yrds): The good point of this defense was the performance of the 1st team defense. They were true beast getting to the QB often and just embarrassing Cardinals offensive line up and down the field. Looking for big things out of the 1st team in the regular season this year…

Overall: A-
