Jerry Porter to Start

[theGibber1]

Sep 6 After being hobbled for nearly a month by a nagging hamstring injury, Porter reported no major problems after practicing with the Oakland Raiders on Monday and said he plans to be in the starting lineup for Thursday's season opener against the New England Patriots. The receiver, who will line up opposite offseason acquisition Randy Moss, had 64 catches for 998 yards and nine touchdowns in 16 games a year ago.


This is good news for Oak i think. There was a chance they would be starting the 4th string WR b/c of injuries to Curry and Gabriel. Now with Porter back in the mix, it should help take some pressure off of Moss

i dont think he will do much. but i think he will help keep moss from being double teamed all night..


i dont think the raiders are horrible.. They have a lot of weapons now and and an improved defense.

Not saying they will beat NE on the road but i am looking for them to cover

what!?!?

what!?!?

havin porter playin along side with moss is very good news for the raaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiders! he's a big physical receiver, and he won't be the #1 receiver like he was last year, which means alot of one on one coverage and more touches for moss, collins well have a very big season, maybe better than his super bowl year with the giants. :drinky: dance1 :yup
btw gl this season!!!

i personally would like to see morant get some pt on thurs. he is 6-6" and about 220.

porter had better produce. he is "all pro" who has only had one good season. he was not gannon's favorite and his numbers were held down a bit. however, he has to stop getting hurt constantly. i am a big jp fan - i remember when he was drafted out of wvu, but he must produce this year.
