00:0023-23. If you like Michael Jordan, you loved that game last night. It was the Raiders. It
00:03was the Seahawks. Ends up in a tie. But if you did say, you know what? I took the points
00:08with the Seattle Seahawks at home. You cashed in and you won that football game. Aiden O'Connell
00:12played yesterday. Drew Locke played yesterday. Saw Gino Smith for just a little bit. Jalen
00:16Millrow, by the way, 6 of 10, 61 yards passing, a passer rating of 77.5. Would you like to
00:22see that higher? But here's what I like the best, Joe. Three carries, 38 yards. He's going
00:28to be a part of that offense. How big a piece of that offense? Probably going to be up to
00:31him. But I think everybody was intrigued about this game. Not necessarily because you wanted
00:35to see the final score unless you had a ticket. You wanted to see a little Ashton Gentty. Didn't
00:39play all that much. Didn't play all that well. But you did want to take a look at Jalen Millrow
00:42last night. 23-23 final last night, Joe. Raiders, Seahawks. Yeah. And it was really a tale of two
00:49halves here because the Raiders were abysmal in the first half of this game. It was dominated
00:55by Drew Locke and the Seahawks. I mean, you had Gino out there for one series, and then
01:01you had Aiden O'Connell the rest of the way for the most part. And listen, it wasn't good
01:07until, of course, the third, fourth, and fifth stringers started coming in. Then all of a
01:12sudden it was good. But we had guys, I mean, they were attempting 50. Every time I turned
01:16around, it was a 50-yard, 55-yard field goal attempt or something going on there. We didn't
01:21see any of the Sam Donalds, the Kenny, you know, the Kenny Walkers. We didn't see Cooper
01:27Cupp. You know, we didn't see any of the guys we wanted to see there on that side of the
01:33ball for Seattle. But they dominated the Raiders in the first half of this game. Wasn't even
01:38close. 16-3. And then, of course, the backups came in, and that's where it changed for the
01:43Raiders in the second half.
01:45Yeah, what do you think the angle is this year for Jalen Millrow? Like, there will be packages
01:49for him to be used because he is electric when he has the football in his hands with
01:52a chance to run. I was remembering this about, you know, Cam Newton being in New England.
01:55Hey, maybe he could have stuck around and just been like that goal to go back, fourth
01:59down, running back, slash quarterback at this point. Jalen Millrow is certainly a fun piece
02:02at this point, but obviously they spent big money on Sam Darnold to be their starting quarterback
02:06as well. I didn't get a lot out of this football game. Number one, I didn't watch a lot of this
02:09football game because it was on late. But Aiden O'Connell, 18 of 30 for 205. He's basically
02:13just sitting there as, can he be the backup quarterback, knowing now that Gino Smith is the
02:17full-time starter for the Vegas Raiders at this point right now. But just looking at
02:20the overall statistics, not impressive either way. It was a lot more fun handicapping those
02:25first two games of the night because it seemed like there was more intrigue since then the
02:28Bengals starters, quarterback competition in Indy. We didn't really have too many competitions
02:32since the late night game. So it's probably, you know, rightful that it did end up in a tie
02:36at 23-23.
02:38Yeah. I mean, listen, Seattle picked them off twice in the second quarter, Aiden O'Connell.
02:43And it wasn't like they were the starters there. So, you know, the backup defensive backs
02:49for Seattle were having a field day jumping the routes because he was telegraphing everything
02:54there. So, but I, you know, again, it is what it is Raiders, but I'm not sure that it's that
03:01much of an upgrade with Gino Smith. But for the most part, you know, the defense of Seattle,
03:08I think was maybe the most impressive unit in the first half of this game. I thought they
03:13did a lot of really good things. And even the backups, again, picking guys off, they seem
03:18to be way ahead of the offense in a lot of different areas.
