Remember the Raiders? The Kingdome never sounded as loud as when the silver and black came to town. Tonight, it'll certainly be a battle of the backups as the not-so dreaded Raiders take on the Seahawks. For the Hawks, no Hasselbeck, Engram, Branch, Tatupu or Sean Locklear. Expect to see plenty of Seneca Wallace. Heck, you may even see fourth-string QB Dalton Bell. As far as Hawks on the bubble, will RB Justin Forsett show his stuff? And what about the young WRs? Courtney Taylor, Logan Payne, Jordan Kent, and Michael Bumpus all need strong outings.

For the Raiders, QB JaMarcus Russell won't take the field. Andrew Walter gets the start and Marques Tuiasosopo may even see some time. CB Nnamdi Asomugha won't play, and Pro Bowler punter Shane Lechler is taking the night off. Kind of makes you wonder why the NFL even plays so many of these preseason games, other than to make a little extra dough. Oh, by the way, did I mention the game was on KING 5 tonight? Coverage starts at 6:30 p.m.
