Raiders Start Preseason with a Win Over Dallas!

The Raiders Post

It is only preseason so don’t get too excited but the Raiders came back to beat Dallas 17-9. Rolando McClain looked decent he moves well in coverage and was in on the runs.

Lamaar Houston looked good going against the Dallas first string line and posted 2 sacks for the game. He is going to help us tremendously against the run and creating pressure in passing situations.

I like the starting defensive line the came out with and if John Henderson can stay healthy that is one beast of a man to have in the D-line rotation. We are starting to get a roster together than can play a 4-3 and a 3-4 front both and therefore play some hybrid defense and mix it up.

We have some potentially nice additions that were cast offs elsewhere in the league, Quentin Groves looked okay while on the field and could play rush linebacker or end depending on the front being used at the time.

I am starting to like what I see.
