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

It's a big environment, first game, mistakes are going to happen on both sides. I hope the game is clean, I hope the Aggies show well.

I want to see how this year's defense is going to shape up.

Oh man, we used to have the look-alikes threads going. Too late for this game, maybe we'll hit up the Lehigh, Poly and Sac games.

Saw a Tweet about it, did it outside Sudwerk.

7 pm tomorrow, the Raiders play their last preseason game @ Seattle.

Gotta say Davis Football has been phenomenal in the off-season with great Tweets.

He changed priorities in his life, and is now enjoying football in the South. The high school programs in Texas, let alone the college ones, are insane, I'm currently reading Friday Night Lights...it's now 30 years later, the fields are now ALL cathedrals. Really is something else.

Would love to see Abilene Christian or SFA on the schedule again...but maybe we can't even legally do that? I know there's some law about playing in a state that has certain state laws, ie, we can't travel or play there. Texas might be on that list.

I saw a Ron Gould team beat the living piss out of the Thunderbirds in Cedar City...I forget the year...ran all over them. 6thman was with me, before he retired to Texas.

Regarding the Wildcats...saw Weber vs. Maine, and the Cats were dreadful...at home...in the playoffs...on national tv. They got EWU and EB on game 1 of the new era, at home, and only put up 14. They managed to beat Montana State...who had a LB playing QB...at home.

I don't think the Wildcats can keep pace with the Ags in Davis....they have a strong young RB, but he won't be anything compared to what Kal and the Bison put on the field, graduated a lot of talent...Montana State or Montana @ home seem to be the only killers coming into town...Montana has revenge on the brain, and they'll be looking to make a mark for future Griz generations...the only question is, does Hauck really have Montana on an upward trend?

Perfect observation.

If the Raiders don't put him on the 53 man team roster, he will be picked up 100% by another team. NO QUESTION.
