2010 NFL Preseason
 

I don't know if folks are going to catch some of the other preseason game, but I thought I would start a thread.

Currently watching the Ravens vs. the Panthers. So far DeAngelo Williams looks like a beast, Matt Moore looks pretty good, though the Panthers have Otah out and it shows in the first series.

The Ravens started firing down long passes down the field on offense. And believe it or not, they just had Mount Cody on offense as a fullback (on a goal line formation). Ravens defense looks good as always.

I don't get too worked up over pre season football.. Most teams don't even try out there. For example Spurrier went like 4-0 or 3-1 one year and we finished 5-11 the same season. I will be watching though bcuz I H A T E baseball..

Well not that I put a lot of stock on preseason, it's just good to see what other teams' first offense looks like.

The Ravens are going all out with the passing game. Boldin just made a nice catch and dive for the first down. They need to get their o-line together, Flacco has been sacked twice.


Sidenote: So the Ravens have both Jim Zorn and Al Saunders. Had completely forgotten about Saunders.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

So I know Clausen was a big topic around here during the offseason. Just saw his NFL debut and did a decent job. Led the team down the field and the drive ended in a field goal. While he had a good first outing, I would say Matt Moore's job is safe for the season (barring an injury).

Meanwhile, Bulger had a first bad outing that ended up on a sack/fumble. The Panthers have two rookie RBs that are tearing it up, but unfortunately one of them just fumble.

I must say while the preaseason can be a bit boring, it is fun to see those camp scrubs beat the hell out of each other to gain a roster spot.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Looks like the same JC I'm Oakland. First pass was very close to getting picked off and the next two passes were 5 yd outs

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

I thought flacco looked rusty in the begining but had some nice throws once he got in a nice rhythm down. Also the Panthers were having trouble with Pass Protection, but were solid in the running game.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Romo sacked 3 times and one fumble! Lmao

Well Otah is out for the Panthers. I still think Moore did a decent job. DeAngelo Williams looked ridiculous. I'm sure with their limits in the passing game (decen QB, not much of a receiving option after Steve Smith), they are going to be a run-first team.

NICE!!!!

Sounds like the Raiders defense is playing like the Raiders D from Madden '10.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

I know it's preseason but Campbell has had 2 passes dropped for INTs. He looks like the same old JC

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Lol no shit ruhskins! Their d was amazing. Have u played '11 and if so do u like it?

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;719589]Lol no shit ruhskins! Their d was amazing. Have u played '11 and if so do u like it?[/quote]

I have already played '11 and like it so far. I am waiting though on the patch that's supposed bring back the classic pre-snap controls and a roster update. Right now the Redskins don't have Jammal Brown!

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

^ oh so they are bringing back the old audibles? Man I hate the new way to do it. And i think they updated the rosters today. Btw JC update sacked 2 times and 15 yds passing in one qtr of work

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

I love it how ESPN doesn't show the three sacks and the Romo fumble in their highlights. Also, Stu Scott already talking about Dallas trying to be the first team playing the SB at home. Ugh, why do I get the feeling the league is going to try to make this happen.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Dallas's pass rush is as good as ever. The Raiders' D seems to be holding its own.

I hear they are supposed to patch it, but I don't think it has happened. I will update my roster today (thanks for the heads up).

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Almost a safety for the moo-moo girls.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

I think madden 10 was the best ever.. I hope they patch that up soon.. Doug Free has given up 2 sacks alone, 4 total for their starting line.. Look's like Dallas D is ahead of their O. Although they are playing the Raiders

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

JC with a nice pass to Louis Murphy. He's a qb who definitely needs a running game and a "rhythm" to perform.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

are you on the raiders market TV or Cowboys? Sirclinton

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Troy Smith stinking it up for Baltimore...against Carolina's 2nd or 3rd stringers. Bulger looked ok after a rough start. Clausen had a rough second outing, but not as bad as Troy Smith.

Online streaming ftw; I'm getting the Raider feed. I'm in MD. :FIREdevil

Not sure if it's safe for me to post here, but I use channelsurfing.net for links.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Campbell is still in the game 2nd qtr.
Raiders are the fastest team in the league

Well I'm in the Dallas market and these guys are extremely hard to listen 2 lol

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Ok weird sequence in the Ravens/Panthers game...Clausen throws an ugly pick, Ravens get an illegal block penalty during the interception, next Raven possession their RB coughs up the ball and the Panthers run it back for TD. Panthers miss the PAT.

The Panthers are a run first team. No need to guess on that one. The 2 bacs they have are starters on most teams.

It is also worth noting that they are playing one of the best defense in the NFL and also one of the deepest front 7s in the league. Terrence Cody is a man child and will be a very good NT in this league.

Clausen looks good in his debut.

** Interesting Note by Jaws and I believe he will be right on this: with the Referee behind the line of scrimage the frequency of holding penalties is going to go up.

Missed clausens INT though!

love preseason lol

Rock is in the game for oakland as is Boller at QB haha

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Brennan tonight? I hope so

[quote=artmonkforhallofamein07;719611]Missed clausens INT though![/quote]

It was a good play by the DB, bad play by the WR. I must say though, had Clausen been playing a first team defense, he'd have been intercepted a couple of times. He needs to stop trying to force passes and know when to throw it away or when to take the sack.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Ruh--- There are 15 other teams in the NFC that will have something to ay about the Cowboys being handed a Superbowl in thier own stadium. Besides Romo is still the Cowboys QB and will choke.

Wow so the Raiders are getting exactly what I thought they would in JC. it's amazing how he plays the same as he did here.

Have you seen the report on ESPN comparing JC to the old Radier QB. There are so many reasons that is just wrong. Al Davis must be going senile.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

lol Kitna and Crayton with a miscommunication. Two vets. haha

Jason looked horrible tonight.. 2 int's dropped by dallas and stared down his receivers yet again. Raider fans should be happy without Russell but they will be cussing JC alot this season

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Pats and Saints 24-24 lol Good Game

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Raidahs still have a gimped offense when facing elite Ds, but things are looking up for their defense and their special teams is solid. With their soft division, 8-8 is a possibility, but the Super Bowl is not happening.

And those who drafted Zach Miller for fantasy will be happy.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

I still say 6-10. Campbell is still Campbell and their WR's are as unproven as ours. I do think they have a very good D. Oline didn't look too good either

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

Come on guys, is just the first game. Not that I'm making any excuses, but this is the first game against a pretty good defense, and with some deficiencies (bad o-line, unproven receivers, and a running game that needs to get better). A mediocre QB like JC won't overcome those deficiencies, yet I'm sure that will still be better than fat-ass JaMarcus.

re: 2010 NFL Preseason
 

I am not giving the Raiders a winning record 7-9 or 6-10.

I am going to manipulate a Dennis Green quote here and say

"Jason Campbell is who we thought he was!!" Good luck Raiders, he is better than Jamarcus Russel, but honestly so are most 3rd string qbs in the league.

Apparently Laurence Maroney ran the ball well. He better, otherwise Darth Hoody will ship his ass out of town.
