RAIDERS WEEK 7 BYE WEEK WRAPUP
The Raiders used their bye week to talk to Jared Veldheer about his contract with Oakland, their feelings were mutual and the Raiders gave Veldheer a six year extension for 46.2 million
The Raiders got rid of a potential problem in Darren McFadden, who was earlier sent to Cleveland. McFadden had a rough season, not having any big games that he talked, his speed seemed to be there but his injuries to his knee and foot seem to be taking that away, the Raiders will rely on Rashad Jennings, Jeremy Stewart and Latavius Murray.
The Raiders took care of business and crossed off one of their biggest FAs
Jared Veldheer, the Raiders 2013 Free Agents are
DE Lamarr Houston
FB Marcel Reece
WR Jacoby Ford
FB Jaizme Olawale.
The Raiders are out on the fence of DE Lamarr Houston, who has been relatively quiet all season, Houston has stated to Raiders HC Darius Johnson that "I would like a few snaps at LE, I feel I play better there." Which is true Lamarr Houston had a tremendous season last year at LE.
The Raiders adjusted their depth chart for now but the move to LE is up in the air at the moment.

ALAMEDA, CALIF -- The Raiders come off of a Week 7 Bye Week, fresh off trading Darren McFadden and allowing HB Rashad Jennings to capture the starting role, they were not disappointed. The Raiders came off this game with a 3 point lead for a win, 150 rushing yards and 244 passing yards. The Raiders Offense has played well this season but has given up 9 turnovers over the course of 2 games, Terrelle Pryor is trying to get his career on track but is struggling to do so.
The Raiders would kick off after losing the toss. Sio Moore and Lamarr Houston would tackle Johnathan Dwyer for a loss twice, before Lamarr Houston would catch Big Ben for a sack in the endzone for 2. The Raiders and Steelers would go three and out for the rest of the quarter, with Ryan Clark picking off a Pryor pass to Moore.
The 2nd Quarter would quick in where the Raiders would lead 2-0. the Steelers had the ball and would go down the field before having former Saint, Kicker Garrett Hartley come knock down a 34 yard field goal. The Raiders would get the ball back and head down to the 25 yard line, only for Lawrence Timmons to sack Pryor and have Janikowksi come out for a 42 yard field goal.
The Raiders would give the ball back to Big Ben, on the first play of the drive, Lamarr Houston would collect his second sack on Big Ben, on the second play, Sio Moore would come off the left side untouched and strip sack Big Ben, allowing Lamarr Houston to recover the fumble. The Raiders would then get to the 17 yard line, but get stopped by a Timmons tackle to Jennings and send Janikowski out for his second field goal, this time from the 17 yard line, which would make it 34 yards.
The game would go to half time with the Raiders leading 8-3. The Raiders would get the ball back, only for Ike Taylor to pick off Pryor and give the Steelers positon at the 45 yard line. Big Ben would drive down the field, capping the drive off with a 12 yard touchdown pass to Emmanuel Sanders, to then which Johnathan Dwyer would run in for the two point conversion.
The Raiders would drive down quickly again, off of a long 20 yard run from Jennings, for Pryor to make a nine yard touchdown pass to Andre Holmes, with Janikowski to kick his only PAT for the day.
The Raiders would stall the Steelers again with a Lamarr Houston sack, his 3rd on the day, and allow Pryor to turn the ball over AGAIN allowing Ryan Clark to get his 2nd interception. The Steelers would be stuffed with a Sio Moore sack. Making Chris Kluwe, the former Viking and Raider, come out to punt.
The game would transition to the 4th quarter where Oakland would push the ball down yard, riding off of Jennings's 124 yard preformance, Vance Williams would sack Pryor and have Janikowski come out and kick his third field goal.
Big Ben would then take his team down the field, lobbing passes to Sanders and Brown, before finally in the red zone, Big Ben would step up in the pocket and take off for a 7 yard rushing touchdown, Hartley would come out to kick the PAT. the game would be tied 18-18. The Raiders would suck the time out of the game, stop on the Steelers's 29 yard line, and send Janikowski to kick his longest and his 4th field goal yet, on the 0:02 mark for the game winner.
The Raiders will stay at home next week to face the Eagles.
