The Oakland Raiders after having a successful game last week in Jacksonville spent the rest of the week in Florida in Sarasota working out and getting prepared for this Sunday’s game in Tampa Bay. Also getting prepared are receivers Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree who had success in Jacksonville as Crabtree had eight catches for 96 yards, and a touchdown.

Tampa Bay head coach Dirk Kotter said it’s not easy to prepare for wide receivers like Crabtree and Cooper who says they’re all over the place. Kotter says both Cooper and Crabtree both play at very high level and compared them to former Atlanta Falcons Julio Jones and Roddy White. J Hawkes talks about his pick in the Raiders at Tampa Bay contest for this Sunday.
