Las Vegas Raiders could sign first Japanese NFL player

Toshiki Sato could become the first Japanese player ever in the NFL.

Cool, the only full blooded Japanese NFL player I can think of is former 9ers Wally Yonamine..but he was born in America so not quite the same as someone coming over from Japan..

Here we go, week 1.

I believe we should be able to control the Panthers young offense. A new coach and a new system, we should be able to take advantage of that situation. Raiders' defense should be upbeat and hungry for their first win.

I am anxiously waiting to see Ruggs' debut.

I was not impressed with the win. The real task for both ends will be on Monday night when the Saints comes to town.

Stories like this make me proud to be a Raiders fan  :

Out of drug and alcohol addiction, Raiders TE Darren Waller also finds purpose to help others with the same addiction

Lets keep rolling with the Ws and beat them big challeng Aints Raider Nation!!!

[ProudLao]

Usually I'm pretty confident but tonight's game I just don't feel it. Hope I'm wrong though lol

Speaking of Waller, 10 catches so far vs. the Aints including this wide open TD from Carr:

2-0

I’m happy with the win but Carr got to step up his game. The team needs to use Ruggs early in the game as well. Cannot rely on just Waller and Jacobs.

[theking]

LOVE IT!!! especially against a division rival..

[ProudLao]

Yup! Sitting pretty at 3-2 with a bye week coming. Getting ready for TB12 in week 7.

Let’s keep it rolling!

congrats to raiders

To beat the best, you got to pull the playbook of the best.  Throw it deep and hope for defensive PI. 

good win for them raiders though

Cost me a nice 5 teamer parlay cuz I was on the other team.

I'm predicting this year to be a fluke year. No dominant team. Teams on a hot streak will win it all.

Whatever preseason talks there were, it's going to be a toss up imo.

Tom Shady puts up 45 points against the same defense that beat the Chefs. It's frustrating to watch week in and week out with this inconsistency defense. Probably will need to pick up a different DC in the off season.

I am not a Carr lover, but I am pulling for him to beat the Browns. If we can't put up 40 points we are not winning.
