On Headlines podcast with Jessica:

#1 Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said he’s excited about a stickier offense and his corners this coming season.

#2 Talk about those corners Damon Arnette was a Raider draft pick and and second year corner Trayvon Muellen.

#3 The Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Gerald McCoy will be out for the rest of the season McCoy tore his right quadriceps tendon during practice on Monday and McCoy will be released and will have surgery.

#4 The Kansas City Chiefs will be limiting their crowds to come to see home games at Arrowhead Stadium down to 22% which works out to 17,000 fans a small crowd but the Chiefs would like to welcome some fans rather than none.

#5 The Canadian Football League has decided to cancel the 2020 season due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The league was going to have a short ended season in a bubble in Winnipeg but being a contact sport decided that the risk was too high.

On the Raiders podcast with Joe Hawkes:

#1 It may be just preseason, but there is something in the air in the Oakland Raiders dressing room — an excitement, and the anxiousness to get out on the field and do the job. The Raiders, who trailed to the Green Bay Packers up until the last few seconds of Thursday Night Football, came back and got kicker Daniel Carlson in kicking range to boot a game-winning field goal to get the Raiders their third straight preseason victory.

#2 Hard work and determination really goes into a win like the one the Raiders played on Thursday. Even though head coach Jon Gruden is using different rookies, players busting their tails to get a job on the team, and new faces who played their hearts out but were left with no choice but to be cut after a game like this.

#3 Talk about the field, it was a 80-yard field on Winnipeg and the 10-yard line is where the goal line. Did the CFL field kind of ruin the NFL game as the players had to convert their play to fit the field?

#4 There were no kickoffs in the game and the team who won the toss would start at the 25, how much of a difference did this make?

#5 The Raiders started Nathan Peterman, who completed 22 out of 36 passes for 230 yards, and Derek Carr sat out this one. How impressive did Peterman look and what are his chances as being the Raiders backup?
