The raiderfans over at raiderfan BB seem to think that it will not matter if Surtain plays,They think even if he does Moss is going to walk all over him anyway!

I predict there will be a lot of games this season where Moss has over a 100 yards receiving, but the Raiders still lose by two or more scores.

We may see some Priest and LJ sets, where Priest can be a safety valve on a play action pass with LJ going up the gut(fake), then swing it to Priest out in the flat.

The Raiders will have to respect LJ, and will be tight up against that threat, then also have Gonzo beyond the backers and Priest in the flat.

The possibilities are endless. Al Saunders has a fun job right now. lol.

I agree, Im not in any way implying that Moss is a bad player, because it would be a lie! Lets just hope that the d is in ass kick mode Sunday and we don't let him have one of those 100 yard games!

DV said Surtain would play next week.

DV Show.

Go to that thread...

If need be let them sit, not worth the season in 1 game esp game #2

I am such a dumass sometimes. I clicked on the go to last post, and didn't know I was in the thread discussing the very question that I asked. Doh!.

Moss, real tall. Sapp, real short. I like Sapp, but in this case don't count on him.

Surtain should take as much time off as HIS doctors tell him to. He was knocked out cold - you could tell by the way the guy getting off of him nudged him and his body moved as if it were totally limp. I've had a couple of concussions in my life (yeah it does explain a lot), and the after effects can linger for weeks. No need to go out on the field too soon and then end his career or have a serious head injury.

NOBODY, not even Patrick Surtain, is going to completely shut down Randy Moss, especially when the Raiders offensive game plan is reminiscent of a game of 500 -- throw it high and see who comes down with it.

Sapp will see plenty of time -- running corner blitzes and nailing Kerry Collins...

I think you mean real wide.







Are we talking about the same Moss?

DV said tonight that while he hasn't talked to Gun about how he wants to play the Raiders, he did say that it might be smart to keep him and the rest of the WRs in front of you, don't be risky in the coverage. Don't be risky ESPECIALLY with Moss, because of his big play ability.

He also said the Raiders will test them deep, and that having Davis as an owner, you KNOW they will. That's what he wants them to do, go deep.

Surtain went from 90% to 50-50 because they Cheifs are going to screw with the Raiders heads a bit on this. I would.
