*** OFFICIAL LAS VEGAS RAIDERS @ MIAMI DOLPHINS GAME THREAD *** Preseason WK2

[SuperDuperPhin]

The thing everyone should be talking about and worried about is the Running game not the QBs.

But we got 37 yrds

 

[LANGER72]

Back up to who? Tua?

You can't be serious.

Thompson has played good-great agaisnt guys that won't be here in a few weeks.

He has yet to face 1 type defense.

He hasn't seen NFL taylored game planning to take away what he does best.

He doesn't have the experience for alot of things including truly supporting the starting QB with meaningful feedback etc during game situations

Give me a break with that stuff...

Ha ha
Bridgewater struggled against LAs back ups.
He is average at best.

On the other hand ST provided a spark.
Lets see how it goes next week shall we?

That can be said about every backup in the league. They are backups and not starters for a reason.

Yes but in reference to Thompson being the backup this year I think we would have no chance. He’s not ready to face legit NFL starters.

I am still more worried about the OL than the running back position. This offense will only be as effective as the OL allows it to be. They can’t keep allowing the running backs to get hit as soon as the ball is handed off.

They better get both of those fixed quicksmart before the regular season. That’s a McD specialty. This offense will look different with Waddle and Hill in, I believe it’ll take a lot of pressure away from that line and running game.

 

[Fred Bear]

Bridgewater isn't ready for NFL defenses either that's why he keeps getting kicked to the curb by every team he's been with.

 

[danstilldaman]

I am so worried about our running game it's trash. Oh wait I'm not a douche and actually understand football and don't have knee jerk reactions because i know it's preseason football.

 

[circumstances]

Enjoy it because that will be the last time you will see him at QB until next season.

If you see him next season

Sinnett was great against those same type players last preseason and he is in a battle with a rookie QB in Philly to be the third string QB.

I think some posters just fail to understand the difference between playing against the starters of another team and the future FedEx workers Skylar has been playing against.

He is fun to watch in preseason but I really don’t see him being anymore than the third string QB this season. Hopefully by 2023 he will be ready to be Tua’s backup.

 

[circumstances]

Skylar looks great against third, fourth and no stringers. He’s this years Reid Sinnett, who is still just a second/third string player.

He's not out of the league?

He's not out of the league?

Think he plays for Philly still fighting for a roster spot.
