Rush has a 127.7 QBR up to this point, 57 points higher than Moore.

Was also a rare fun preseason game. I hope Raiders vs Cowboys continues to be a preseason rivalry. I believe they are our most common preseason opponent in our history.

Edit to add that this was the 30th time the Raiders and Cowboys have played against each other in preseason.

 

[Scot]

Hopefully they can stash him on the practice squad. I like his potential.

Hasn't he muffed two kicks already? Or is it 3?

That can be worked out. I'm more interested in his potential as a WR, though. He's got speed and decent hands.

She's part of the local sideline team. You won't see her nationally.

Actually did. I'm watching the replay right now with the 'boys broadcast team on NFL Network.

I like Lenoir, really wish they'd keep him but it'll be a numbers game. Shame if he doesn't stick; I'd rather have him than Brown or Terrance "It's been three games since I contributed? Crap, I'd better show up for this one" Williams...

Yep we always prefer a midget who fumbles, to a bigger guy who can take a hit and hold on to the ball and has made some clutch catches against real competition not just a bunch of scrubs. Good call.

Lenoir won't get taken by anyone after we cut him, so he will be safe on the practice squad.

Twitter land thinks Hitchens injury is a season ender. Defense cant take any personnel losses.

Hitchens is OK but when a D relies on Hitchens, then it's got bigger issues. Hitchens is one of those Brady James type of players; they'll never wow you but they're solid. He's also a guy this team should be looking to upgrade from every year. I'm more concerned with our DL.

Archer reporting torn ACL.

TV guy last night: "The Dallas docs wouldn't let him walk off the field if they thought it was serious."

What are you taking about he won't get taken by anyone?

Are you high?

That's what you said about Lucky and he got snatched up immediately

He's shown enough even with his fumbles/muffed punts for some shitty team to snatch him up

 

[MrB]

What do you guys think about Lenoir? Seems like an adequate PR-KR, and maybe 6th WR after that 44 yard catch for a TD from Coop.

I don't see how he makes it.

Dez/TWill/Beasley/Switzer/Butler/Noah

And that's IF they keep 6 WR's.

I also do not think he gets picked up if/when he's cut. He has potential but there are probably 20-30 guys just like him around the NFL that are about to get cut. He should be a safe bet for the practice squad.

If teams were willing to pick up Lucky some desperate team will pick up this kid.

I don't recall ever saying that about Whitehead. I DO recall saying he would still be here until final cuts if not for the false accusation, and given a key injury or two would make our final 53.

Lenoir hasn't shown shit and again, he won't be returning kicks or punts once Switzer is back. Lenoir up against scrubs does not equal Williams clutch plays in real games. Would YOU advocate keeping Lenoir over Williams? Really? That was the meter.

 

[Doomsday]

Yes, us. For the practice squad.

I think Scot is suffering with Lance-withdrawal symptoms. He obviously feels we must have another Lance on the roster after Dunbar left. Either that or he's got cabin fever.

If he did not understand the meter, I can see how he's led astray. Surely, he does not think Lady Lenoir would be a upgrade over T-Willy.

We CAN and should upgrade over T-Willy, but that person is not in our camp at the moment.

I agree there are plenty of players on the roster that they should be looking to upgrade and move on from, Hitchens is one of em. However since they didnt do that in the off season, they really needed him to at least do what he had done in the past, this year. I think he will be missed at a position that they were already thin at. Maybe somebody cuts a player who ends up helping out, we'll see.

I think the Lance guy should have been cut after is second muffed return in as many weeks. I want nothing to do with him.

All I'm saying is that some other team will be desperate enough to snatch him up and he won't make it to our PS.

He has one TD in preseason. That is more than some #1 WR's in the league

And yes I probably do have cabin fever. 8 days on this boat and we still haven't reached CA waters yet. But at least I got the direct TV to work and was able to see the game last night. So that helps!

550 miles down and 750 more to go!

 

[yimyammer]

Wow, can't believe Marvin Lewis is in his 15th year as HC in Cinci and he's never won a playoff game

 

[Doomsday]

He's gonna be among 20 or so other medium-fast midgets available on cut day. The others don't have the ball security issues. Think about it.
