But what I didn’t realize is how good he is already.

Raiders rookie strong safety Karl Joseph knew he was going to see the field early after being drafted 14th overall by Oakland during the 2016 NFL Draft.
“He’ll run and hit anything that moves”, said McKenzie. If all goes well, the Raiders could truly be a troublemaker in the AFC. If we had to guess, it’s only a matter of time before Hulu has a live stream option, it doesn’t seem likely that Netflix is in a hurry to make the jump.
Del Rio said it’s “always nice to win” but “there’s a lot of things we’ve got to do better”. “Hopefully, our record will show that, what we earn”.
“I feel like as a player, you kind of express yourself through your play”, Niklas said.
Issues arose when he was asked to throw the ball outside of the numbers. If you miss an inch to the left or an inch to the right it’s a pick or it’s incomplete.
Compared to a year ago, obviously we’re better.
“You get into a routine and you fall into a routine”, Arians said. Which is why, in this case, Carr didn’t mind seeing the defense celebrate at his expense. It makes me excited. Same thing with Reggie, Sean, DJ, DA. “I played just about the whole game”. The Raiders finished a surprising 7-9 last year in the first year under head coach Jack Del Rio, and more is expected of the team this year.
Quarterback Carson Palmer looked decent in very limited action (3 for 5, 35 yards), though he was lucky his first pass attempt of the game wasn’t picked off.
Overall, Joseph steps into an ideal situation: He gets to start right away on a team with a strong defensive coaching staff-in addition to Del Rio, Oakland’s defensive coordinator is three-time Super Bowl champion Ken Norton, Jr. -and he gets to be a part of a rich National Football League tradition with the Silver & Black in Oakland.
“He’s worked hard this offseason”, the elder Atkinson said in a text. We will give him more opportunities to grow in areas like that.
The fourth-round pick from Michigan State has shown solid improvement at quarterback throughout camp and now gets his first real crack.
“You know, it takes time”. “They made a decision to put me in, and I was happy about it”.
“Everybody’s asking ‘Oh, where do I go, ‘” he said. “It’s good to come back and just talk ball with him”.
And the Raiders, with two forced turnovers and four touchdowns, need to carry this one.
At times the play was sloppy and at times it looked like the quarterbacks were in mid-season form. On the ground, Latavius Murray rushed for 1,066 yards and six touchdowns. “If someone doesn’t like him, there’s something wrong with them”. “Guys aren’t this open, now they’re this”.
-MENELIK WATSON ADDS FROM NEARBY: Better get down! “You gotta get down!” from behind the TV cameras.
Carr glanced in Watson’s direction and laughed.
Injuries are becoming a concern for Edwards, however, as his 2015 campaign was cut short in Week 15 after he suffered what was reported to be potentially a career-threatening neck injury. That being said, he looked just man handled on a few run plays which makes me concerned about him playing more than just on third and long. It was a plaque that said the Heisman on it, and I really didn’t want it because I didn’t win the Heisman.

“Man, it’s insane the jump that it’s been each year”, said Carr.
