Oakland Raiders Vs San Francisco 49ers: A Coach’s View of The Raiders

The preseason version of the "Battle of the Bay" took place in Oakland on Saturday as the Oakland Raiders played host to their rivals from across the bay, the San Francisco 49ers.

It was an exciting game filled with spectacular plays and big hits. The final score wasn't what Raider fans had hoped for, but it wasn't all bad. Fans got their first look as several key players that made their first appearance of the 2010 season.

There was a scary moment for Raider fans as Jason Campbell went down hard and was forced to leave the game. The injury to his throwing shoulder is being reported as merely a "stinger." Anyone that has ever had a stinger knows that there is nothing "mere" about it.

It's very painful, but Campbell should be back in time for the start of the regular season.

So what went right and what went wrong for the offense? Those are the questions I will attempt to answer in the following slide show.
