First NFL game of the year. How long until Moss gets fed up with Brooks? Also, Philly looks to have a pretty gross D-line with Howard and Kearse.
I hate preseason. Yet I can't turn away!! The Iggles d-line does look really good. That's helped a lot by the Raiders swinging door of an o-line. I wouldn't worry too much about Brooks and Moss just yet. Preseason games rarely have much of a passing game, and Brooks has a great deep ball. Of course, his other flaws will probably enrage Moss and Raider Nation by week 2. :hihi:
:hihi: 1 completion for Brooks before he sits down (albeit a TD)... and I'm not sure Moss played a down. So far the Raider offense has looked much like that of the Saints. Run, run, pass, and kick.
i don't think the raiders will be any good, but Brooks will make moss into a star again... for goodness sakes, if a 50 year old Randall Cunningham could do it, he can.
The Raider O-Line will, IMO, not allow the passing game to be very proficient this year. Not exactly an original opinion, but it was clear upon watching the first teams go at each other last night. Moss thrives on going up and getting deep balls, and Aaron just isn't gonna have that much time to sit in the pocket and wait for him to get 40 yards downfield. It'd be one thing if the dude showed any desire to run around like he did back in 2000... but I haven't seen that in 6 years. The pairing seems to be a lock for Fantasy success, but stay away from it. It's fool's gold.
Suprisingly, it looked as if Randy played hard while he was in last night. This may not seem like they should go together, but he had a couple of nice blocks. I think the Raiders will struggle, but Art Shell isnt going to put up with any of the **** that has been going on there for the last couple of years.
