Raiders at Chargers MNF Pregame Discussion

ok

Seriously....they have Hill and Kelce and some other guys. Hardman is just fast but a smallish guy. If they lose Hill to injury, you can plan for Kelce and one of those other guys scare you. Of course they have Mahomes who makes average guys better.

Thats just my opinion.

We are the better team, no doubt in my mind. A good test for Staley, to keep the guys focused on execution, to eliminate the mistakes. We play clean, it should be a solid win. We give them some wind with critical penalties or turnovers, it could be a loss...Raiders are not bad, and are an emotional team that can take and use momentum...can't give it to them, unless we want another white knuckle finish.

Good news!

From my personal experience, calf is a bitch...in a lineman, almost as bad as a hammy is for a RB or WR or DB...you think it's healed, and then the damn thing "twangs" on you again...it can be a real booger sometimes...and you really can't test it until you try to hold up a double team...and if you try to anchor flat footed, you risk two fat boys twisting you with your whole cleat dug in the turf...can get ugly. I would have no problem sitting Jones if he isn't 100 percent. 17 games folks....we need Jones for the meat of the season.

It’s official:

Let’s see how his presence lifts the run D.

Jones has only played a half a game—16 total snaps. WFT managed just 50 rushing yards in that half.

The reality in the Chargers-Raiders rivalry in the seven full seasons Carr has been with the Raiders is that the series, 14 games total, is tied at 7-7. The Raiders are 4-3 in the Chargers' home stadium and the Chargers are 4-3 in the Raiders' home stadium.

Remember Gus’ scheme? Remember how Tranq got caught trying to cover Tyreek Hill, who went vertical from the slot? I expect a similar play-call, maybe a few, this Monday. Watch for Guyton in the slot, screaming towards the post. Bank on it.

I think Monday night’s the night we get to see Herbert’s majestic deep ball.

The team that has had one winning season since 2002, sure thinks alot of itself.

The Raiders offense scores 30 points a game. Chargers 22.3.
