Good News for Bledsoe: Raiders Have No Pass Rush

[zagnut]

Sitting here watching the Raiders - Eagles game. McNabb literally has all day to throw and it's not because of his line. The Raiders are impossibly slow off the line and seem to get superglued to the OL. They're stout vs the run. The few hits McNabb has taken have been due to the coverage. The only thing saving the Raiders are their cornerbacks playing well and McNabb not being able to hit anything longer than 10 yards and even those are low.

Not to look past SF, but I can see Witten having a huge day next week. If we can get pressure on Kerry Collins, we should be in good shape. Their OL is not especially good either.

I've noticed that too. On that long pass to Westbrook on 3rd and short Oakland blitzed and McNabb still had plety of time, nobody even came close to him.McNabb can barely move and still nobody can get to him

Bledsoe should have a field day. Notice also that the Eagles are absolutely shutting down Jordan- no running game at all. We should be able to do the same.

Looks like they have no secondary either. McFlab is hurting and still picking them apart.

They have no running game either. It is the fourth qtr and Oakland is averaging 0.9 yards per rush! That is terrible!

You missed the boat on that observation -- thw Eagles OL is banging! You'll soon find that out.

Eagles troll wrong as usual. Considering that the Falcons had fun with your so called great line, we should be able to ring his bell a few times. Especially if he has that hernia- maybe we could pop it wide open.

Eagles OL is fine but Oakland has 2 sacks in 3 games. 1 sack by Derrick Burgess and 1 sack by Delawrence Grant. I think that may be lowest in the NFL.

The Raiders may not have a pass rush, but they got Moss and Porter. If a couple of after thoughts like Arnaz Battle and Brandon Lloyd can make our secondary look like a high schhool team, imagine what the Raiders will do to us.
