Coach Talk

Raiders4Life
You know what, Raiders4Life, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to play a starter with zero points (Davante Adams), while still earning the win! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the early regular season. Can you imagine how silly we'd look if we let it happen in the playoffs?
Raiders soul smasher
"Not seeing many looks" really isn't an excuse this week for Raiders soul smasher. As a group, our pass-catching corps (four WR and one TE) were targeted a hearty 24 times in Week 4. Chemistry and timing appear to be issues as that group notched only 13 catches.
