Sports Radio Service Raiders beat writer

LAS VEGAS-The Las Vegas Raiders (1-0) beat the Baltimore Ravens (0-1) 33-27 in a game at a sold out Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas Nevada where 61,756 fans attended on Monday Night Football’s prime time show.

The game marks the first win with fans in the arena and The Raiders put on a tremendous second half come back to beat the Ravens in overtime. Raiders quarterback Derek Carr threw 34 for 56 for 435 yards, two touchdowns and and an interception.

Carr threw a 31 yard pass to wide receiver Zay Jones for the game winning touchdown in overtime. The Raiders had to tie the game three times to keep up with the Ravens in the fourth quarter. Carr’s second touchdown pass was set up after Carl Nassib strip sacked Ravens quarterback Lemar Jackson at the 27.

The Raiders had got into trouble when Carr had thrown an interception at the one yard line on the first play on offense in overtime and also were called for delay of game just before they were supposed to kick a field goal. The Raiders with the offense back out on the field Carr under center threw the game winning touchdown pass to Jones for the game winning touchdown.

Carr had a great game he was steady and consistent, he had one interception that bounced off of Willie Snead’s hands to end the game or what would’ve ended the game, got deflected off a Ravens helmet and that was the pick at the goal line late in the game.

The defense held on against a quick Jackson and nullified his attempt at most runs. Max Crosby had a tremendous game and was all over Lamar Jackson all night. Jackson offensively threw 19-30 for 235 yards and one touchdown. The Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson tied the game with a 37 yard field goal with 37 second left in the ball game to keep the Raiders alive before the game winning touchdown pass to Jones.

It was Carr throwing to a clearly open wide receiver Jones who took it in giving the Raiders the win in a hard fought overtime game. “It was really special, I’m really happy that we got the win on the day that kind of made a little bit of history, which is like really nice to do.” said Nassib during the post game press conference.

On the Raiders podcast with Rich:

#1 Rich the buzz still is warm from last week’s First Take program when ESPN’s Keyshawn Johnson said that he doesn’t care what anybody thinks and that he likes Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and that Carr is an elite quarterback. Rich in your opinion how far has Carr got to go from being considered an elite quarterback.

#2 Of the elite quarterback class that was listed in the conversation Aaron Rogers, Pat Mahomes, Russell Wilson, and Tom Brady no one would be too shocked if you mention them for Hall of Fame caliber talent.

#3 Rich, talk about the benefit the Raiders got not using Carr in any of the pre season games and head coach Jon Gruden staying on the side of caution to prevent injuries to Carr and back up Marcus Mariota.

#4 Will defense be in question for the Raiders this season. The Raiders allowed a lot of scoring and Carr got sacked quite a bit towards the end of last season.

#5 First game of the season the Raiders host the Baltimore Ravens at Allegiant Stadium and once again First Take and ESPN’s Stephen Jackson chimed in on Ravens quarterback LeMar Jackson regarding being an elite quarterback to which Stephen A said “Not Elite!” and he also added, “Until you can throw that football accurately under duress period” he won’t be in the elite class.

#1 Rich, from what you seen in practice and pre season how ready are the Raiders as they open their season against the Baltimore Ravens in week 1 on Monday Night Football.

#2 ESPN football analyst Keyshawn Johnson said that Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is in the elite quarterback list to which Johnson received a lot of backlash for. Johnson was challenged that if there were a poll between Carr and the Rams Matt Stafford, Stafford would win by a landslide to which Johnson said he’s not paying any attention to a poll but what Carr has done on the field and that’s why he’s convinced Carr is an elite quarterback.

#3 During Wednesday’s presser head coach Jon Gruden didn’t comment about acquiring linebacker KJ Wright from the Seattle Seahawks but he did say a lot of good things about the linebackers they have. The Raiders released Tanner Muse who was a 2020 draft pick. Rich, just to get your thoughts on the Raiders getting Wright and releasing Muse.

#4 Rich, the Raiders signed running back Peyton Barber this week Barber played with the Washington Football Team and last season and had 270 yards, four touchdowns, and has started 30 games career. How much of a plus will Barber add at running back.

#5 Rich, talk about how ready is Ravens starting quarterback LeMar Jackson for this opener he had his vaccine issues and he’s under center against the Raiders will he need time to throw or will he rush more on Monday Night Football?

On the Raiders podcast with Rich Perez:

#1 The Raiders signed wide receiver David Moore to a one year deal this week. Moore was a former receiver at the Seattle Seahawks. Moore signed a two year deal with the Carolina Panthers but released him this week. The Raiders were surprised that Moore didn’t get another offer from the Seahawks who was a fan favorite in Seattle but were glad to pick him up this week.

#2 The Seahawks who have only four receivers and could have used Moore’s services but the Raiders were glad to sign him. Moore previous to his signing with Carolina signed to be on the Raiders practice squad and Moore couldn’t get on an active NFL roster.

#3 Moore 26, for right now will try and win a job against some of the Raiders younger receivers it’ll be competitive but he has one advantage and that’s experience.

#4 Raider quarterback Derek Carr said he’s excited about the various wide receiver options as he’s looking to make plays with younger receiver Bryan Edwards and Zay Jones.

#5 Carr is also looking forward to throwing to dependable Henry Ruggs III and Hunter Renfrow. Ruggs is noted for his speed and he can out run opposing defenders and Renfrow is noted to be the go to guy on third down plays and is said to be as tough as nails.

Sunday afternoon the San Francisco 49ers took on the Las Vegas Raiders in their third and final pre-season game. In this pre-season the 49ers dropped their first to the Kansas City Chiefs in a close contest followed by another close win over the Chargers.

The first quarter of this game was all San Francisco. They took the early lead when quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo scored on a one yard rush 7-0. Going into the second quarter the team picked up where they left off in the first quarter.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich Perez:49ers offense too much for Raiders in 34-10 loss in final pre season game

On the Raiders podcast with Rich:

The Las Vegas Raiders stuck with quarterback Nathan Peterman every game and you never know I would have hoped to see Moriota play a little bit but he’s still had that hurt leg. For Peterman 175 passing yards today and he had the second and third stringers with him.

It wasn’t apple to apples or oranges to oranges with a lot of their starters. The 49ers had a lot of offense going for them in the first three quarters and they were alternating Garoppolo with Lance and the 49ers look like their ready to play week one football against the Detroit Lions so kudos to them.

The Raiders on the other hand Gruden was going to use today to decide whose going to stay on this team and he used this game as a show case for that as Peterman threw for one touchdown and one interception and he had 13 rushing yards.

The Raiders host the Baltimore Ravens on Sun Sep 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for Sunday Night Football at 5:15 pm

On the 49ers contest with Jeremiah:

#1 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan will be going with his starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo will get every opportunity to work his skill set but is this a try out for starter or does Garoppolo have the starting job?

#2 Jeremiah this is not to say that Shanahan wants to get some looks at quarterback Trey Lance who threw for two touchdowns in the last pre season game in Los Angeles against the Chargers.

#3 Shanahan said he will mix Lance in the game on Sunday against the Raiders and most likely will not have Lance doing any rushing just have him stay in the pocket to avoid any injuries.

#4 Last Sunday Garoppolo did play all 15 of his snaps in the opening series of the game and Lance later took over and got the win for the 49ers over the Chargers with the two touchdowns and 15-10 win.

#5 Jeremiah talk about the wide receiver issues, Brandon Aiyuk has a bad hamstring that will keep out of Sunday’s game, Aiyuk according to Shanahan is expected back next week for practice, wide receiver Richie James Jr who is having an MRI. The 49ers are checking to see if he is having a season ending ligament tear.

Tough break for the New York Jets defensive end Vinny Curry as doctors have ordered that Curry play no contact sports and will be out for three to six months (file photo from Sports Illustrated)

On NFL podcast with Tony R:

#1 The Jacksonville Jaguars have named Trevor Lawrence as their starting quarterback, Jags head coach Urban Myer made the announcement on Wednesday and Lawrence is slated to make his start on Sep 12th versus against the Houston Texans in Houston.

#2 Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy has announced that Andy Dalton will be the starting quarterback and he was selected over Justin Fields to start. Dalton has a lot of veteran experience but also Nagy had to measure how Dalton looked in pre season and camp as well.

#3 Sad story Tony, New York Jets defensive end Vinny Curry will miss the entire 2021 season due to a rare blood disorder and Curry had to have his spleen removed which led to complications. During the recovery process Curry developed blood clots doctors have put Curry on blood thinners and said he is not to play contact sports for three to six months and miss this season.

#4 San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that while he hasn’t decided on a starting quarterback yet there has been talk that the 49ers who are favored to win the NFC West will be going with quarterback Trey Lance. Lance in his last pre season game threw two touchdown passes and saw more time under center than starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in last Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

#5 Tony, the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Nathan Peterman has started in the first two pre season games and completed both games. This Sunday against the 49ers do you see starting quarterback Derek Carr and back up Marcus Mariota getting some time or will Peterman play most of the game?
