Oakland Raiders news: Stage set for Todd Downing in preseason opener

Get fired up! It’s game day and this is the Black Hole Roll Call. Your Oakland Raiders will play their first preseason game of the season against the Arizona Cardinals this evening. Kickoff is at 7:00 p.m. PT at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.

This is a very important game for new Raiders offensive coordinator Todd Downing. He was promoted from quarterbacks coach this offseason. His path to being the main guy in Derek Carr‘s ear is an interesting one for sure.

Eddie Vanderdoes was a blue-chip prospect coming out of high school. At times, he was a potentially elite player at UCLA.
