What To Expect From Terrelle Pryor

Via Raiders Blog  |  August 13, 2012
Terrelle Pryor was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the third round of the 2011 supplemental draft. It was the late Al Davis’ last draft pick for a franchise that he ran for half a century. His last pick was the perfect story book ending to his great career. Selecting Pryor with a 3rd round pick not only fit Davis’ mold of targeting the biggest and fastest players, but by selecting...

Raiders back at it with brutal rookie hazing haircuts (Pictures)

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  August 15, 2012
If you’re an NFL rookie who thinks you have it bad, just be thankful you don’t play in Oakland. We don’t really know if their rookies actually get the worst haircuts or if they simply do a great job of publicizing it, but any rookie who plays for the Raiders might as well completely shave their own head before training camp begins. Otherwise, there’s no guarantee you won’t...

Camp Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Raider

Via The Penalty Flag  |  August 13, 2012
I’ve written a lot about the immense potential of Oakland Raiders’ tight end David Ausberry and so far my predictions in training camp has not shown Ausberry taking the next step in 2012 because of shaky run blocking on top of the fact his main asset in pass catching has been inconsistent with too many dropped balls during camp.

Dennis Allen Says Raiders RB Darren McFadden Will Get Even More Work

Via GridironFans.com  |  August 14, 2012
Raiders running back Darren McFadden allayed any concerns about his long layoff within a three-play span, yet that didn’t earn him time off in the remaining exhibition games. In those three plays Monday night, McFadden netted 4 yards on a run, 18 on a catch-and-run play in which he lined up as a wide receiver and 16 on a burst around the left side. This came in his first game since...

Richard Seymour Among 11 Raiders Not Suiting Up Against Cowboys

Via GridironFans.com  |  August 13, 2012
It looks like the Raiders see no reason to take any chances with defensive tackle Richard Seymour this early in the preseason. Seymour is one of 11 players who will not dress for tonight's opener against Dallas. He took part in the Raiders' practice Saturday and light session Sunday, but missed four days before that with a knee injury. Running backs Taiwan Jones (hamstring...

Raiders drop first pre-season game to Dallas 0-3

Via Thoughts from the Dark Side  |  August 13, 2012
Inconsistency was the word of the game for the Raiders who were shut out at home in their 2012 preseason opener versus the Dallas Cowboys. The starting offense only played a few series and moved the ball well but some miscues between QB Carson Palmer and WR Jacoby Ford kept them from capitalizing on Darren McFadden's hard running. In the first drive, the Raiders moved down...

Raiders' McFadden sharp in return

Via AP on Fox  |  August 13, 2012
Darren McFadden needed one series to show he's in midseason form for Oakland following a foot injury that cut his last season short. Most of the rest of the first-team offensive players for the Raiders and Dallas Cowboys need plenty of work to get back to that level. McFadden picked up where he left off last season by gaining 38 yards on Oakland's first three plays of the...
