coming high primary receiver throw took trying
They were in a blitz, Zack (Crockett) was the primary receiver coming out of the backfield, but he got bounced around, so I took off (running) outside. I really was just trying to throw it away, but I just didn't get it high enough. That one was on me.

ball good job mix parts rid rushing sound throw
They do a good job rushing the passer, ... It's one of the least talked-about parts of their defense. They mix fronts and give you a sound rush ... I wanted to get rid of the ball (on the interception), throw it away, but I got hit.

I know I'm not going to go the whole year without one but at the same time it just comes down to being smart with the ball, ... I think I'm doing that better than I did last year and I think that's why I've thrown less interceptions.

I didn't see him. I was just about to get rid of the ball and throw it away, and I got hit. My goal was not to have any turnovers . . . because I knew that's what it would take to beat these guys. It was a disappointing play.

He's the real deal, man. I mean, shoot, the guy played outstanding for a rookie last year against some of the best rushers in the NFL and certainly held his own, played well.
game raiders randy sure talk thursday
I'm sure it's no coincidence that we're on Thursday night, first game of the year. It's great. There's a lot of talk about the Raiders right now, about Randy being here.
sunday past play
The past several months have brought on much introspection, and I have decided that while my desire to compete on Sundays is still and always will be there, my willingness to commit to the preparation necessary to play another season has waned to a level that I feel is no longer adequate to meet the demands of the position,
couple reality games
I look back at a couple of games we lost that we shouldn't have lost that could have made a difference. But this is the reality. There have been a myriad of things that have led to our record. I take my share of the blame. We've had a lot of penalties and inconsistent execution on offense that has led to this record.

He can get over the top of any coverage. You see defenses load up with two and three guys and he still beats it.
