QB Terrelle Pryor will start for the Raiders after an impressive performance coming in against the Chicago Bears at O.co Coliseum. Finishing with a 146.8 quarterback rating, Pryor went 7 for 9 passing for 93 yards and a touchdown and rushed four times for 37 yards and a touchdown.
"I did think Terrelle Pryor played well in the game the other day," said Head Coach Dennis Allen. "We'll get a chance to see Terrelle this week with the first-unit offense up against Seattle, and we'll see how he does."
Pryor is ready for his opportunity. "It's football. I'm with my guys," said Pryor. "I'm with the 10 guys on the field and overall with my whole team when we step on the field together. I know we have each other's back and that's all we need."
The Raiders will be challenged by the hostile environment at CenturyLink Field. It's known to be a loud stadium and it will be a test for both the offense and defense. "I want to see us go out there and compete. I think it'll be a great challenge for us again in that environment, against that team," said Coach Allen. "It'll be a great challenge for our football team. We get another chance to go out there and compete in a real game like environment and that's what I want to see our guys do."
Coaches and personnel staff will use the last preseason game to complete their player evaluations prior to Saturday's cut-down. "We're going to use the fourth game as an evaluation process," said Coach Allen. "We're going to play these guys, and then after that game we have to get down to 53. We'll have to make sure we pick to right 53 guys."
The Raiders will have many key players get significant playing time against Seattle. T Menelik Watson and CB DJ Hayden, both of whom do not have much game experience so far this preseason, will see considerable action.
"I believe that when your roster isn't completely set, when you don't have a team full of returning starters or you have injuries that maybe force you to evaluate some players, then that does change going into the fourth preseason game," said offensive coordinator Greg Olson. "It is what it is. Those guys that are going to be asked to play will play. They'll get some experience, and I think it will be very good experience for our football team."
