Hey, what's up, Raider Nation? Welcome back to the Raider Squad show with myself, joined alongside Lincoln Kennedy and Q Myers. Thank you so much for rocking out with us this morning. Also, we want to say if you like the content, hit that like and subscribe button if you're watching on YouTube. But also, if you find this, wherever you find your show's podcast as well on the audio side, we do appreciate you. Raider Nation, you're the reason why we do this show and why the channel continues to grow. So we do appreciate you very much. And we got lots to get into. We are going to be talking about the running back room. We're going to be talking about

DeCam Richardson and if he can potentially be a starter with the moves that have been made.

And of course, there was a trade that happened earlier this week. But guys, I think we got

to start off with the fact that it's finally a game day and raider nation has been

waiting for this for an extremely long time it's preseason week one before we go start breaking it

all down your guys's thoughts on finally the start of the season the anticipation and everything

that's happened in the off season to this moment link will go with you first well it's here i mean it's here

it's finally we get a chance to see football, real football.

I mean, I'm not a big fan of practicing in shorts and helmets, even though I think it's necessary. We got the pads on. This is a contact game, and I'm ready for it. So I'm excited for it, the start of it. And then also I'm more excited for looking for the future for Raiders is how Pete Carroll is going to handle preseason.

How he's going to work with preseason?

I know what coaches expect. I know what players expect in this situation, but it'll be interesting to see how all that chemistry comes together as you have this new coaches staff working with one another. Yeah, that's what I'm excited for. I mean, Lincoln, we talk about it all the time, preseason games. No one gets fired up for preseason games because it's just that. It's a little bit of a tease. But with the new coaching staff, I want to see how Pete Carroll handles preseason. And, you know, he made the comment to us the other day. Everyone is live. Everyone is ready. So some people took that around with it. All the starters are playing. All the starters are playing. Now, he just said everybody's live. He said everybody is available.

That doesn't necessarily mean that. Some people took that around with it. All the starters are playing. All the starters are playing. Now, he just said everybody's live.

He said everybody is available.

That doesn't necessarily mean that everyone's going to be playing.
