In watching the Raiders game last night, my first impression was: They need a lot of work.
Aaron Brooks (1/6 for 16 yards) looked awful WHEN he could get a pass off without being under pressure, which was not often.
This brings us to the Raiders offensive line, which was nothing short of wretched. Robert Gallery needs some pass-blocking lessons. Their run-blocking was mediocre at best, so I am giving the running backs a pass for this game.
The Raiders defense showed flashes, but is also a work in progress.
If Fabian Washington gets any better, he could turn out to be a true shutdown corner.
It is hard to judge the pass rush, since the Vikings use a lot of short passes.
The run defense looked ok on some plays, absent on others. I would worry about this if they played this way during the regular season.
On the bright side, Sebastian Janikowski looked like the kicker the Raiders were hoping to get when they blew a first round pick on him. He hit three field goals, including a 55 yarder.
