Las Vegas Raiders running back Damien Williams (32) postures after carrying for 24 yards for a touchdown in the first half against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington in the final week of pre season action on Sat Aug 25, 2023 (AP News photo)

On the Raiders podcast with Rich:

#1 Rich, the Dallas Cowboys who picked up Trey Lance on Friday didn’t use him for game three of this final pre season game against the Las Vegas Raiders. They certainly wanted to rest first stringer Dak Prescott and Lance before their season gets started.

#2 The Cowboys had quarterback Will Grier under center for the entire game. Grier threw 29-35 for 305 yards and threw for two touchdowns.

#3 The Raiders had quarterback Aidan O’Connell under center for most of the game. Head coach Josh McDaniels is impressed with the job he has been doing and could win the second stringer job behind first stringer Jimmy Garoppolo.

#4 Raiders running back Damien Williams ran for a 24 yard touchdown, Williams had been taking up some of the slack while running back Josh Jacobs who was holding out was working on the final touches of this contract. McDaniels said that Williams is a pro, is very physical, has tough mindset and attitude.

#5 So here are the Raiders at week one of the NFL season ready to kick off against the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High on Sun Sep 10th at 1:35pm PT. How do you see the Raiders opening up on the road against AFC West Conference rival Denver?
