Horton, Arroyo, fullback with yellow Afro, I want to Pritchett or Prichard at corner, running game in general. Milroe is a freak tho. Need to utilize his athleticism he glides effortlessly on play action or bootleg and is around the edge with impunity

Fun start! The tie kinda sucked but it was entertaining, a lot of great plays and effort across the board. Especially thrilled with how we controlled the LOS on both sides, especially in the first half. A lot of good!

I look at the tie as a badge of Honor. We held the raiders 1st stringers with our backups. Geno looked like Geno, as expected. I see huge improvements over last season, although, it's only a preseason game..but the intensity is there..these players played to win. I think coaching changes from last season was the right call.

Agree that coaching changes were evidenced as a positive improvement. I missed the first few minutes so if Geno actually played I didn't see him.

First half was bomb and a pretty good indicator of how the team is responding to coaching thus far. Trenches look good on both sided, OL is going to be solid.

Second half displayed a lot of the fringe players as usual, and gave a good look at potential depth. Typical stuff you would ecpect from preseason game One. Milroe looks good, stoked to see how he grows over the next few seasons. I hope we get to see him take snaps against starter level competition next week.

I noticed Outzs. He's a Freight Train with hands. Wow what a diffence an OC makes. We looked promising on offense. Milroe wasn't flubbing passes off the turf. Can we cut Lock now? We need the roster spot for another position. Lock is just not a guy I've ever been high on. The whole we need 3 qbs is how The Playas don't get enough reps.

Cut Lock? No! Keep all three QBs and when a team or teams are in desperation for a QB, trade Lock for a haul!!

If Darnold happened to miss a few game, I'd trust Lock more than Milroe at this point

Just part of the game.....so Milroe would have to fight through it.

This was great first showing considering we have new coaches acrossed the board. Lots of positives.

The UDFAs in the fourth got a little abused by the Raiders thus the comeback. But hey they got a look.

Yay go team.

Milroe doesn't seem close to ready to me. I think some are seeing what they want to see .
We already knew he was fast and that's about all he showed last night.

I don’t know Nate. For being out there with third stringers, he looked pretty damn poised.

His passing accuracy, which appears to be the biggest ‘knock’ right now, looked good to me.

I see this kid being QB1 by ‘27..,,and being a damn good one at that.
