In breaking but not surprising news it is annonunced that the Jaguars will be moving to London where they will be known as the London Black Knights. Mr Khan released this statement when reached for comment:
"We are saddened to be leaving the City of Jacksonville, theyhave been great to us for over 20 years.They have supported us through it all. In the end we decided to move the jags because even tho fans have supported us we feel moving to london could attarct the free agent and revenue we seek to be a better team. We will always love jacksonville and support they effort to get a team there in replace of us."
With the Offseason acquisitions and the high graded draft class hopes were high in Jacksonville. Then the season started and the Jags were trounced by Colts week 1 27-21 so immediatly Mr.Kahn decided to shake things up by traded away former 1st round pick Blake Bortles and starting olb Laroy Reyonalds away to get Former 6th round pick Zach Mettenberger and former 2ndround pick Denzel Perryman. Week 2 vs patriots rolled around same ole results happen as the patroits ran the ball done the jags throat to the tune of 26 carries 104 yards 2 tds. Still looking to fix the offense ans defense woes, Coach Bradley decided to shake things up and making Bryon Jones the new FS and signing former cowboys DB Mo Claiborne.
Week 3 rolls around rematch of the week 1 match vs the Colts and boy was it different as Gordon and Mett played with they hair on fire. Going back and forth with Lck and Co. Jags pull out a close win 45-38 behind the arm of Zach Mettenberger 11 of 16 371 yards 4 TDs and Gordons 24 carries for 169 yards rushing. Oline dominated the point of attack allowing Gordon to run and Zach to have time and hit big time targets Tavon Austin and Kevin White. The Defense while not impressive did seal the game on the colts last drive with a pick by Bowman who had 2 Ints in the game.
Zach Mettenberger on Quick Strike Offense:
“Obviously we did a lot of good things. At times we moved the ball well, Alot of big plays which is always good. At times we forced our defense out there too much.”
Next week for the Jags will be taking on the Defending SB Champ KC Chiefs 2-0
WHo Will be #1?
Only the vikings know. So we caught of with owner Bo Shangles to get some insight. "We have not a foggiest idea who the hell we taking here in london,, once we know you will know." So there is your answer even the number 1 pick doesnt know who they taking.
Oakland-Hi, Jenna McJuggs here with your Oakland Raiders offseason update. Hitting you with all the rumors, news and transactions in raider nation. Coach Simple’s first season in Oakland was as you would say left a little to be desired. Raiders finished 6-10 at bottom of AFC West along with the chiefs expectations were not met. As offseason loomed big changes were already abound for raider nation, with dismal performance of raiders’ defense. Coach Simple announced the raiders would be moving to a 34 defense. Allowing JJ Watt, John Jenkins & Lamarr Houston to return to positions that they are more comfortable in. We saw the removal of Tyvon Branch and Trevardo Williams fan favorites and speed merchants on raiders’ defense. Raiders brought in 5 year NFL vet Brooks Reed who totaled 40 tackles and 5 sacks and 1 FF last year for the Texans. To acquire Reed raiders shipped off emerging CB Phillip Adams to the Texans. Raiders also revamped secondary even more so by sending 3 yr. starter at mlb Nico Johnson and WR Stedman Bailey to Minnesota for multi-talented CB Xavier Rhodes who will start alongside fellow CB DJ Hayden.
Changes were not only regulated to the defense side of the the offense side some changes as well. The biggest change was raiders acquired the best Rb in the NFL with Adrian Peterson. With AP in the loop this will bolster a raiders running game, and take pressure off Mr. Pryor. Jerod Moorhouse had a breakout season notching 80 catches 1200 plus yards and 15 tds. Always facing double sometimes even triple coverage raiders made it a must to acquire some help. The answer Demaryius Thomas aka DT, the 6’3 229 lb. 6 yr. nfl vet will hope to force defenders to play honestly making it easier for Moorhouse to get single coverage and allowing AP to see only 7 in the box maybe less.
You can acquire all these pieces but will they be able to put it all together and win the division and make it to the top of the AFC west and get a playoff berth. This is Jenna McJuggs see next time same raiders time. Same raiders place. Same raiders’ attitude.
Oakland-Raiders defense was abysmal this week as they yielded close to 600 yards of total yards to the Saints. Raiders lose a tight game 42-41 to the Saints. Raiders defense which has been abysmal the past few season under Coach Dennis Allen and continue under coach Simple. They were unable to get off the field late in the game and were unable to contain saints as a last second touchdown score spelled doomed for the raiders. Sending them to a 1-1 record. Pryor was stellar in the lost going 16 for 22 292 yards and 3 TDs, rookie Jerrod Moorhouse led raiders wr core with 4 catches for 94 yards and 2 TDs. Defense will look to make some changes fix some things and just flat out play better, “How’d we play (laughter) it was a fucking joke I don’t know wtf we are doing but we aren’t playing defense I can tell you that shit has to change cannot win when your defense is always dead last.” On tap for raiders next week they welcome in division rival and afc west champs chiefs. This is Jenna McJuggs signing off same raider time. same raider place. same raider attitude.
Oakland—BREAKING NEWS: Oakland Raiders have acquired JJ Watt and 2016 2nd round pick for Tyvon Branch and Richard Quinn.
Jenna McJuggs here with big news coming across the TS4L rumor and trade wire. Owner Silky Johnson made another major move of the blockbuster size. It was a bold move by Oakland but with a defense as talented and rich in talent as it was to finish dead last in most all defensive categories was not acceptable to ownership or new HC Tom Simple. Coach Simple spoke bout the move, “JJ is an amazing play a big time DE who can rush the passer stop the run tons and tons of energy but more than that a great human being.” Watt will team up with Trevardo Williams, Lamarr Houston and John Jenkins to form a stout and very dangerous defensive line. “I look forward to going to Oakland and hope to bring some of the success and energy to Oak.” said JJ. In contrast the Raiders will be saying goodbye to talented DE Richard Quinn and multi talented SS Tyvon Branch, “Those guys will be surely miss but this is a business and we wish them the best and we will welcome JJ in with open arms.” replied Lamarr Houston. Salute!!!!! Same Raider Time. Same Raider Place. Same Raider Attitude
Oakland-Jenna McJuggs here with your Oakland Raiders end of season show, today we will give stats info, rewards on Americas red headed stepchild that is the raiders. Our Oakland Raiders coming off a disappointing season in year 1 under owner Silky Johnson leadership as Owner. In season 2, raiders were a much different story sitting atop AFC west for most of the season. A tough stretch by Pryor saw raiders lose AFC lead to chiefs and ended up going 10-6 missing the playoffs.
Not yet end of season the change has already started here in Oakland. Coach Dennis Allen has departed as HC of raiders to become the new Head Coach at University of Texas, taking over for the legendary and sometimes aloof Mack Brown. So before the playoffs have even finish the coaching start has already started for Raiders and Co. Raiders will look for a coach who can help maintain and build upon the success that Coach Allen and his staff set and takes raiders to the next level. That next level will be the playoffs if GM Reggie McKenzie had it his way.
Raiders will be returning a number of great players that had outstanding seasons which will help with the transition to the playoffs and a new HC. Qb Pryor had a stellar almost MVP like season taking home AFC quarterback of the year beating out the like of Peyton Manning, Tom Brady etc…
Pryor-255/401 64% 4351 passing yards 38TD 103.2
Pryor Firmly established himself atop the AFC as top dog and put rest of league on notice that he will only get better. To help balance out a potent raiders passing attack raiders had acquired high risk high reward RB Marcus Lattimore. As we know lattimore was coming of devasting knee injuries that plagued him in college.
Lattimore-268 rushes 1507 yards 10TD
Lattimore not only proved the raiders right when they traded away a 3rd round pick for him. He also let NFL know that his knee will get stronger and stronger and soon he will return to the RB he was at the University of South Carolina. On the Receiving of most of Pryor’s throws was the duo of Brandon Marshall (acquired mid season) & Jerod Moorhouse (rookie wr). The duo tortured secondary’s all year long.
Marshall-67 catches, 1346 yards 14TD
Moorhouse-59 catches 1009 yards 9TD
Providing one of the best 1-2 punches in the NFL, by season end Moorhouse has cemented and put his stamp as a tough catching wideout that was fearless over the middle. Raiders’ defense. Defensively raiders hang there hats on there 3 young Monstars; Trevardo Williams, DJ Hayden and Kris Boyce. Trevardo Williams amassed 11 sacks on the season and announced himself as an up and coming pass rusher in the TS4L. Cornerback DJ coming off a disappointing rookie season wanted to make sure qb knew his name and he did just that picking off qbs a league high 10 times this season, daring qbs to throw to his side. DROY Kris Boyce proved his worth as a top 15 pick by racking up 54 tackles 2FF and 3Int.
Final Thoughts: With many trade rumors on the horizon and players like Pryor and Moorhouse taking their games to next level raiders future looks to be headed upward. On tap for the front office will be looking to replace Coach Dennis Allen with a capable HC with the ability to get more out of this roster. So please stay tuned for updates and more throughout the season. This is Jenna McJuggs signing off se next time. Same Raider time. Same Raider Place. Same Raider Attitude.

On Tap: Raiders will be going into a bye week but after the bye they will look to take on Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings
Detroit-Raiders traveled to Detroit to take on the new look Johnson i mean Lions. It was a battle for the raiders defense as they fought long and hard to contain Calvin and Chris but in the end it was not enough as Raiders lose 49-37. As the raiders were beyond from the first qtr, playing from behind raiders were unable to set the tone and get anything going on the ground. For a second straight game raiders rushing game was held to under 100 yards rushing. Lions controlled the tempo on offense and defense locking down raiders running game and setting tone and with calvin moving the chains on third down raiders were hopeless to gain ground.

This is Jenna McJuggs with your Raiders sports reports, Oakland took on the 1-1 Packers and boy was It a game as Oakland left green bay with the win 44-41 behind the arm yes I said the arm of Terrelle Pryor. Pryor took to the air going 18 of 24 for 335 yards and 3 tds targeting his big rookie Jerrod Moorhouse for 4 catches for 101 yards. Brandon Marshall who was targeted 8 times caught 7 passes for 182 2 tds. Marcus Lattimore added 19 carries for 118 yards and 1 td fueling the raiders’ Offensive onslaught.
On tap Next week the Raiders travel to Chicago to take on bears as it will be a homecoming for Marshall and Moore as both will try to show the other teams why they should not have traded them.
Indy--Week 2 matchup for Oakland saw them head to Lucas Oil Stadium to take on the 0-1 Colts. Raiders end up winning game 34-27 even though game was well over before even though score does not indicate that. Oaklands offense was clicking on all cylinders again as raiders ran up and down the field to the tune of 216 yards rushing on the day. Pryor account for 87 yards on just 3 carries while continuing his efficent play as he went 13 of 18 for 166 yrds and 2 scores. The feel good story of the year continues as 2nd year running back Marcus Lattimore accounted for most of the damaged dealt to the colts defense, amassing 129 yards on 18 carries and scoring 1 touchdown, lattimore also was key in pass protection as he completley crushed Lineback Kelvin Sheppard on pryors big 31 yard run. Oakland defense continued its stellar season as the front seven once again stifled another opps run game. Rookie running back Deshawn Provst only tallied 23 yrards on 12 carries as oakland front dominated the point of attack and shutdown all possible cutback lanes. Raiders pass rush was just as impressive this week as they recorded 4 sacks; 2 by Dt lamarr Houston, 1 by Trevardo Williams and 1 by Hatcher. Bringing their early season total to 8 . Raiders secondary was a different story allowing pressured Andrew Luck to throw for 358 yards and almost leading a late comeback. Nnhamdi Asmough continued his resurrgence in oakland by collecting his first pick six TD since he was in oakland 4-5 years ago, Tyvon branch also got in on action recording his 3rd int on the season. Needless to say raiders secondary coach was not entirely thrilled with the performance of his team this letting off this glorious sound bite given to espen reports Jenna McJuggs "What the fuck was that, that was a absolute joke we could stop a wet paper sack god damnit, lets breath you know what we won by this doesnt sit well my boys played hard but goddamn 358!!!!! ugh no worries we will get to work and get it taken care of."
Oakland-In the days of the purple people eaters, steel curtain & doomsday defense offenses struggled to amass 100 yards. Fast forward to 2013-2014 season and the Raiders and Steelers gave us a game for the ages, if you prefer the absence or lack their of defense. The two teams amassed a total yardage of 1863, which was 700 yards more than the NFL record set in Jan 2012 by the Lions/Packers. The game was fueled but a lengthy of personal and team and single game records being broken or set.
The 76-69 score was the most combined points by two teams since the merger and most of all time in NFL history. Led by energetic special teams coordinator the raiders put on a show returning not 1, not 2, not 3 but 4 kick return for a touchdown with each going for at least 97 yards or more, With Taiwan Jones, Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore all getting in on the special teams onslaught. Sea bass also got in on act going 10/10 on xp and going 2/2 on FGs and nailing a gm high 52 yard FG in the 3rd.
Terrelle Pryor continued his ascension this week in a big way showing poise, accuracy & patience. Turned it up going, 19/23 for 307 yards and 4 touchdowns, also adding 8 rushing attempts for 90 yards. On the receiving end of those passes were beneficiary Nick Kasa (9cths/95yds) and Rod Streater(5ctch/102) who continues to build on his stellar rookie year he had last year.
Defense on the other hand was not looking pretty as they allow almost 700 yards of offense. Prompting DC Tarver to drop this awesome sound bite, “First off I'm glad we got the Win and out rush defense was outstanding, but our pass defense is a joke a absolute joke if we don’t sure up some things on backend some people might be looking for work in offseason myself included.” That was not all he had to say on the matter he also apologized to fans for the defense inability to stop a penny from rolling down the table. Owner Silky Jonson also chimed in on his DC words—“Coach T is always the perfectionist and hard on himself was it perfect no but by no means will he lose his job cause of it I have utmost respect and confidence in all that he does. Our defense is young and he is young so I plan on keeping him here and having them grows together and someday be mentioned with the great defenses and coordinators of all time.”
Oakland-Your Oakland Raiders (1-3) welcomed in the San Diego Chargers (3-1) for a week 5 division game. It was a battle of the surprise vs. the expected as the chargers come in tied for division lead with the chiefs, while raiders are where most expected them at the bottom of the AFC struggling to stay afloat.
It was a back and forth struggle as Phillip Rivers (23/35 352 2TD/1INT) led the chargers to a 33-31 victory as Oakland’s pass defense once again showed its ugly head. Raiders allowed Antonio Gates to catch 5 passes for 102 yards with 1 touchdown. Everything was not so gloom and doom for the raiders as Terrelle Pryor continue to blossom as beautiful as Cherry Blossoms. Pryor accounted for 328 of the raiders 455 yards, a staggering 71.4% of the offense. Pryor carried the ball 7/112 1td combined with Latvious Murray 16 carries for 101. Raiders racked up 247 yards on chargers defense. As a passer pryor mechanics, decision-making and anticipation are improving week to week. He went 12/25 216yds 3tds/2int, not great but it will force teams to respect him as a passer. On the receiving end of those passes was Denarius Moore 5/125 2tds with a beautiful 74 yard skinny post to start pryors’ day. On defense it was a sign of the secondary allowing big passes and giving rivers too much time. Charles Woodson and Tyvon branch racked up 7 tackles or more for the 3rd straight game as both safeties’ are currently in top 10 in tackles in the NFL. Not a good sign for raiders’ defense. Bright spot for raiders’ Young defense was the play of rookie MLB from Alabama Nico Johnson as he had a team high 8tkls and 3 pass breakups continuing his stellar rookie campaign, almost makes you forget bout the debacle that was Rolando McClain.
Raiders lose the matchup 33-31 while dropping to 1-4 with the steady development of pryor and improvement of the raiders defense future looks more sunny than doom and gloom.
