The Raiders offense: The fourth preseason game is typically used for players who likely will not make an impact on the team. But coach Tom Cable might want to give his starters some extra work, especially with the way the team was "embarrassed" at home by the Saints last week. The Raiders trailed 31-0 at halftime in that contest. The one bright spot for the Raiders is that JaMarcus Russell has been solid, but needs to be allowed to throw the ball down field.
The Edge: The Seahawks have signed veteran RB Edgerrin James, while releasing veteran T.J. Duckett. James could see some action in order to get comfortable with the team's offense. If James does not play, keep an eye on second-year RB Justin Forsett who has a chance to make an impact with the Seahawks this year. The fact that the team released Duckett and not Forsett has to be an encouraging sign.
