Those were precious...and true.

My big question going into this season was how the defense would look. Obviously, we play a lot of guys, so it's a team effort, but am impressed with King and Nas as playmakers. I think things look strong if we can stay focused and not get ahead of ourselves. A lot of experience at QB and high energy. Can Plough create enough wrinkles to keep defenses guessing? We've had this offense out there on tape now for a few years, Cal blew up our slip/quick screen game...when we miss those quick hitters, it gets us off our offensive rhythm...and we don't have Doss on 3rd down anymore.

Wow, Weber looks tough on D?
Soiunds like San Diego was in a huge hole by the 3rd qtr. and Poly called off the dogs...allowing the Toreros to light it up downfield a little bit. That's a lot of points to give up to Poly, they must be mixing that pass in a little better now. Poly is at its best when they have a QB who can throw for 200 a game, dish it out to Koski and the like.

A good explanation of the Waiver process. There will be a ton of movement today.

That would require an actual merchandising plan from UC Davis

Yes.

I'm going to go attempt to park my big Ford somewhere in Berkeley...

I think the Raiders pick 4th in the waiver wire...they are gambling a little to grab him back for the practice squad...

This is the price of keeping 3 QBs.

of note: WR Ateman was flat out released.

Kee's last Tweet

WR Keon Hatcher has now been cut

Gruden is keeping all 3 QBs

By far, WR, is the toughest cutdown position for Oakland. They're in the bunker right now making cases for Doss, Ateman, Grant...

Tick Tock. We should know by 1 pm PT

Looking forward to the pregame!

Cuts thus far:
Oakland Raiders
Players cut to reach 53: LB Brandon Marshall, TE Luke Willson, DT Eddie Vanderdoes, LB Bryson Allen-Williams, TE Brandon Barnes, LB James Cowser, CB Josh Holsey, DT Gabe Wright, RB Mack Brown, DB Jordan Richards

Brandon Marshall, from Denver, used training camp to get healthy...Gruden has more sway with this team than typical NFL franchises, there is no GM (Mayock is a player analyst and deal maker only)...Gruden is Head Coach and GM...

I just finished the first 4 episodes of Hard Knocks, it's HBO so I'll take with a grain of salt, but DOSS is all over episodes 2-4....and Gruden is on tape wanting to see Doss get after it. Doss hit a preseason peak in Winnipeg, then it got a little sloppy in Seattle. Bear in mind, Doss still finished with 6 catches for 63 yards up in the Emerald City...on a wet night. He also plays special teams...and is more versatile a receiver than Ateman.

If the Raiders cut him, he may never wear Silver and Black again, but he'll be wearing colors for a NFL team regardless...and when you're picked up after preseason cuts, you're on a 53 somewhere in the NFL.

...as a kid from the Northwest, I can attest to Californians having issues catching balls in the rain. It's just different. A strange preseason game to sum up the last month.

Going to order/watch Hard Knocks online tonight and catch up on the last 3 episodes.

Doss with a catch...targeting called on Seattle. Big gain

That entire sentence made me laugh.

Glennon with a s*** pass to Doss on 3rd down.

Ateman had a nice play earlier. Glennon is off in Seattle, a little wet tonight.

Doss working with 2nd team in qtr. 1

Glennon another bad throw...announcers even said it was a great Doss route and a terrible pass.

Coach Pete said the UGA transfer won the QB spot. Last year they were loaded on D, are they reloaded, who knows.

Regarding the Griz vs. Yote game
