Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Oakland Raiders @ Tennessee Titans Open Game Thread

Oakland Raiders @ Tennessee Titans


Raiders_medium  VS. Titans_medium

NUTS AND BOLTS

Date: August 15th, 2008
Time: 7:00p.m. Central
Location: LP Field, Nashville, TN
Records (2007): Raiders (4-12) Titans (10-6)
Weather: 79 degrees, 20% chance of showers, wind NNW 6 mph
TV: FOX
Radio: 103.3 WKDF
Raiders Coverage: Silver and Black Pride and The Oakland Tribune

The Official Site says we will be getting the #2 FOX team for this game, which means we will have Kenny Albert and Moose Johnston in the booth.  We also get the pleasure of listening to Tony Siragusa report from the field.  He always adds so much to the broadcast. </sarcasm>

I will be back with a recap later tonight and tape review over the weekend.  Enjoy the game.

GO TITANS!!

Let's go Chris Johnson.

Outplay McFaddden, and even more people will know your name after last weeks performance as well. Can’t wait.

Eric King

proving he’s soooo much better than Rey Hill

Sweet!

Way to sniff that out!

Great stand

By the Titans D. They couldn’t get the 5 yards! That’s gotta be demoralizing

ugh

Not impressed with our offense so far. They look very rusty.

I Just Glad

This isn’t on Channel 50 in Memphis this time! :-P

heh

Man… I love Finnegan

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 7:25 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Our D has looked very solid.

Offense let’s hope this drive is a little better

by nvemvp23 on Aug 15, 2008 7:26 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well spent

Finnegan is out there proving that we made a great investment

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 7:27 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Yep

Nice to see the front office looking ahead

The Hell??

Was that Lendale White or Chris Johnson!?!

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 7:30 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Geez

Vince is look real off out there. I love my boy but this aint looking good.

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 7:34 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well

We need to try throwing to someone other than Scaife. Get them Justins going!

by Rustmeister on Aug 15, 2008 7:40 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well

That makes me feel a bit better. More like that

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 7:48 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Argh.

This blows. Bullock hurt. D-Line falling apart on pass rush. Offense looks terrible. And when was the last time you saw a Titan make a catch like that Oakland TE made?

CATCH THE BALL!!!

Checking in

Vince doesn’t look good, but it would help if they could keep guys off of him.

Albert walking off

That’s not good

ick

well, i’m glad they’re passing more than 6 attempts with vince this game, but obviously what they’re finding out isn’t good news. looks out of synch even when pass protection is there.

by numbertenox on Aug 15, 2008 8:09 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Eh

I figured Albert was done for the game anyway I hope it’s minor.

by nvemvp23 on Aug 15, 2008 8:09 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

2nd team

Looks like the 2nd team defense is out there. They seem to be doing good too.

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 8:09 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Time for a new job.

Crap

Vince is done for the day. I was hoping he’d get a chance to show us something different.

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 8:11 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

wow

Johnson is still looking amazing.

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 8:12 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

lol

That was just ridiculous

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 8:15 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

maybe its just me...

but watching the 1st team offense was almost painful, aside from the couple of good runs by Lendale.

by asian phil on Aug 15, 2008 8:19 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not just you

I almost regret watching this game. It might make me pessimistic about the season.

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 8:20 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I know what it is....

the Raiders are just that good now….

ok not really, but Jamarcus has been quite impressive avoiding the rush and whatnot

by asian phil on Aug 15, 2008 8:22 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

True

Russell has looked good avoiding the blitz. He’s faster than I thought

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 8:22 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Well, they intentionally went away from the run when it was working.

Regular season, they wouldn’t do that. BUT… VY needs to throw better.

Run game = Good.

Defense = Not Bad.

Passing = F.

Ugh. Just miserable. Can we PLEASE put Lavelle Hawkins in the game? PLEASE?

Flash Johnson

Looks to be an automatic 10 yards everytime he touches the ball.

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 8:26 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Interesting

Collins seems to really throw to Ealy a lot.

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 8:30 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Just getting on here

And glad I’m not alone in my pain.

Maybe I missed it, but can we run the zone read with Vince and Chris Johnson at least once? Better yet, can we get Vince and Chris Johnson on the field at the same time on a down that isn’t an obvious passing down?

by SuperHorn on Aug 15, 2008 8:43 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

some half time thoughts.

Vince can’t throw and/or the receiver’s can’t catch or run routes. It always seems to be one or the other, and I think the blame can be distributed pretty evenly.
The same is true when Collins is in there.
CJ – great once he gets the ball, but I’ll be surprised if he’s the receiving threat we were hoping for.
Paul Williams is toast.
Great defense, but if Harper’s hurt, the secondary’s mighty thin.

Offense s*cks... how disappointing

and i woke up early for this :(

Go Titans!

by Pinoy Titan on Aug 15, 2008 8:43 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

passing game

even with collins in didn’t look good. a couple of completions, but things still looked out of synch. that collins to hawkins pass attempt for example. lots of things for them to work on the next couple of weeks.

by numbertenox on Aug 15, 2008 8:47 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

and a little bummed

we didn’t see q or henry against the raiders starters.

Team Totals

Passing 7 for 25 – 87 yards

Well

Hawkins looks pretty good.

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 8:57 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Lavelle!

WOOO Baby that’s what we’ve been missing. Too bad it was KC who threw it and not VY

by nvemvp23 on Aug 15, 2008 8:57 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

wow!!!

nice. kudos to the rookie.

by numbertenox on Aug 15, 2008 8:57 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

1st

I would like to see him run with the 1st team next week.

by theologic on Aug 15, 2008 8:58 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

and it's HD too

channel 2 really needs to get hd going
