((((( Rookieeees N.f.l. Thoughts For Oakland/san Diego)))))

[THE_ROOKIEEE]

I Feel That As A Bay Area Representive Here, It Is My Duty To Give My Thoughts For This Game.... First, I Would Like To Say That Its Been Difficult Being A Die-hard Raider Fan...and As Each Year Passes, Frustrations Mount More With The Team~its Owners~and The Fan As Some Of Us Are.... No More Are The Likes Of J.otto, G.blanda, F.biletnikoff. "the Ghost", "the Stork", And Kenny The Snake..... And Lets Not Forget Marcus Allen.......yeah Those Were The Times When Commitment To Excellence Really Meant Something... That When Playing The Raiders You Knew You Were In A Dog Fight....even Worse If You Were On Prime Time.....now Teams Are Looking Forward To Playing Us As We Are Bottom Feeders Of The Nfl.............. Now From A Fanpoint Of View And Many Opinions From Old Faithful Raider Fans In And Out Of My Circle: We Believe This Team Struggles Started After Their Last Super Bowl Win..... Yep That Season, The One 25 Years Ago( Ive Lost Count Already Its Been So Long) .......a Slow Decline Due To Its Talent But Everything Started Unraveling Slowly But Surely..... First The Tiring And Firing Of Mike Shanahan... The Art Shell Years.... The USC Todd Marinavich Success To Being A Los Angeles Fan And An Oakland Fan As We Never Knew Where The Next Season Was Going To Be.....To The Tuck Rule Being Made On Our Account To Getting Beat In Your Next Superbowl By The Coach You Fired...... All The Extended Coaches..the Shouldve Couldve Wouldve Playoff Games....the Prick Teasing Of Almost Making The Playoffs To The #1 Pick .... Pretty Sad And This Is Coming From A Die Hard....... This Year We Expected Jamarcus Russell With The Addition Of Darren Mcfadden To Grow More In The System And Take Steps Towards Recovery Of Our Franchise..... But With Injuries Here Or There, The Javon Walker Incident, And All The Other Distractions It Has Really Disrupted The Chemistry Of This Offense..... This Offense With Everyone Getting Healthy Showed In Spurts In Their Last Game Against Kansas City And Other Times During The Season.....But Imo Its Still A Long Time Away.......i Just Didnt Believe In Our Qb When We Drafted Him And I Dont Think Too Highly Of Him Now.....now I Hope I Eat Those Words In The Near Future But Imo He Is The True Project Qb.....its Going To Be A Longer Than Shorter Time In His Developing To The Level Up Here......... His Timing Is Just Off On Certain Routes And The Accuracy At Times Seem No More Than The College Level...... He Just Cant Carry This Team On His Own Yet And Thier Talent Level Around Him Cant Support Him Enough...this Is Evident Of Meltdowns In The 2nd Half Of Games All Year Long...... Including The Earlier Matchup Between These Two Tonight

oakland Vs San Diego

In Their Last Meeting J.russell Has One Of His Better Days, As This Was His Second Start....stat Wise With Everyone Healthy One Can Look At This Game Two Ways...1) He Had A Good Game Because Of This Or 2) He Had That Game By Circumstance..... Im Going To Believe He Had A Decent Game Due To Over-confidence The Chargers Had After Their Blowout Of The Jets And Scoring 48 Points On Opening Week............. Like I Said J.marc Is Still Very Green Even To This Part Of The Season.... Teams Are Able To Adjust To What He Brings In The First Half And Just Lock Down His Thought Process When It Comes To The Second Half...... Thats Just The Bottom Line In My Opinion.....so In This Game Tonight I Will Be Putting My Money On The Under As I Find Its Going To Hard To Get To The Posted Number Of 42 ...........san Diego Year After Year Will Run The Ball... Its To The Point To Say Were Running Try Stopping Us..... S.d. Has Had Rushed The Ball 30 Times Per A Game The Last 5 Or 6 These Two Met Easily..... You Dont Think Lt Is Going To Have A Big Game, Have Fun, And Run With The Season He Has Had This Year... And In Front Of Home Fans And Critics Who Think He Is Done....... Give Me A Break........ The Only Reason I Dont Take San Diego Here Is What Is Going To Make This Under..... Oaklands Defense Is All What We Fans Of The Raider Nation Have To Show..... This Kid Chris Johnson That Has Step In For Deangelo Hall Is Something To Watch..... He Has Come Into His Own And With N. Asomugha On The Other Side...this Defense Has Showed Life Once Again..... Over The Last 3 Games The Pass Defense Have Held Their Opponents To 47/81 For 540 Yards Passing But Get This.... 0 Touchdowns..... Everything Is Being Throw Underneath ..... I Cant See This Game Being A Passing Shootout From Either Team Tonight...... Expect Both Teams To Run The Ball Tonight.....expect Lots Of Underneath Throwing.....expect A Defensive Game..... And Expect The Under To Be The Play Tonight


Best Of Luck On Your Plays Fellas
