you left out the best part:

@VittorioTafur Vittorio Tafur
no other WR is dominating like this “@raiderjmb: is moore that good or are the DBs that bad?”

it isn't about routt doing a bad job, it's about D MO 17 being that good. he beat a double team in the back of the endzone and did a double toe tap for the TD on one catch.

do you think he will be a starter week 1 of the regular season?

 

[corinthian]

hue jack city really likes the kid, so there's a very good chance he will. all he has to do is keep up what he's been doing. it's not like we had a real #1 and 2 option at WR last year. I'd say the starting job is up for grabs.


Here's another thing about D MO. he was the only WR in college to put up two 200 yard games last year.

 

[ArGenTin3]

whoah man.. love the optimism but don't give the trolls ammo...

let's just focus on finally having a winning season..

finally!

a raider fan with some sense.

 

[gotthat]

we got boss.

 

[Meta4iCAL]

can't wait to see what D Moore can do... I can't remember the last time I've heard so much hype from the reporters and coaching staff about a rookie in camp

hopefully he's tearing it up because he's that good, and not because our DBs are that bad

 

[ESCOBAR 92113]

we got boss.

why though? Zack Miller is better.......thats my opinion, im a big miller guy

I guess you haven't been paying attention... Miller was a FA and chose to go to Seattle over Oakland

after that happened we picked up Boss as his replacement

you a season ticket holder?

 

[ant_johnson_16]

Call the number?

 

[corinthian]

I'm just curious, calm down.

 

[savage]

Raiders might get Lofa Tatupu. Would be a good pick up for the Raiders. I think he still has some left in the tank.

Running back Michael Bush joins Oakland Raiders

All present and accounted for.

Running back Michael Bush joined the Raiders in Napa on Saturday, the club confirmed. The first indication Bush reported came from the Twitter account of safety Michael Huff, who said he was having breakfast with Bush.

Bush's arrival means either signed a a one-year, $2.6 million tender as a restricted free agent or he received a deal with more years and more money.

The Raiders' second-leading rusher with 655 yards, Bush has made no comments regarding his absence from camp, although it was assumed it was contract related.

Bush was originally thought to be a four-year free agent until it was determined his first season was actually spent on the non-football injury related list, rather than the physically unable to perform list. Players on the NFI do not receive credit for an accrued season, as players on the PUP do.

(Bush's injury _ a badly broken ankle _ obviously occurred playing football. But it happened in college at Louisville and pre-dated his entry into the NFL).

That meant Bush went from a four-year veteran to a three-year veteran and was a restricted free agent.

Tendered at a first-round level, Bush was on the market, but the price was prohibitive. The Raiders could either match the offer or receive a first-round pick in return.

Bush was the only restricted free agent who hadn't reported to his team.

His stock went up when DMac got injured. I'll bet that's why the Raiders figured his shit out and got him there.
Either way, I'm glad. Bush is a beast

Meta,

Forgive me for not paying attention to your outstanding franchise. I will say that I DID KNOW Miller signed with Seattle. I was questioning why the Raiduhs didn't pursue him harder. I know they saved tons of money by signig Boss, but miller is a top TE in the league IMO

I've heard that the special thank you for Season ticket holders only is a first come first serve two for 1 deal for the first two home games.
