On the Raiders podcast with Joe:

The competition for a job on either team–the Detroit Lions or the Oakland Raiders–is stiff even if it means if they have to fight for it literally such as it was on Tuesday during scrimmage when both teams were practicing. There were a couple of small scuffles on the sidelines, but it got ugly later when it blew up into a full scale brawl with both benches emptying as frustrations were mounting in the scrimmage.

The Detroit Lions’ quarterback Matt Stafford was able to hit his receivers in practice. He showed his accuracy with his receivers. With both teams practicing together long and hard and watching their frustrations, this could very well carry over into Friday night’s game at the Coliseum as they will be fighting for jobs all night long.

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr might end up hating head coach Jon Gruden as he will be in everyone’s grill and pushing hard. Knowing Gruden, will he get the best out of Carr and the Raiders this preseason?

This is the first of the last two seasons for the Raiders in Oakland. J Hawkes talks about the kind of reception the Silver and Black will receive as this is their first game since announcing they will be moving to Vegas.
