Las Vegas Raiders vs Dallas Cowboys: Week 11 MNF Preview | MUST WIN GAME
What is up, Raider Nation? It’s your boy Samar back at it again with another pregame preview. We got the Raiders, we got the Cowboys on Monday Night Football on Prime Time in front of the millions and millions of fans watching at home. Now, I know the last time we were on prime time, it was a really, really bad game. But you know what? I know the NFL, they try to make some money and they want to put two of the most storied franchises on Monday Night Football. I mean, we’re both bad teams, but at the end of the day, this game is much bigger than the the players that are playing in this game. This is for bragging rights, and this is for the Raider Nation. And even for the Cowgirl fans watching at home, who will come out on top? Hopefully, it’s our Las Vegas Raiders. That being said, though, Raider Nation, I can’t wait for this game. I’m going to be at the game at Allegian Stadium. Of course, I think there’s going to be a lot of CG fans over there, but it is what it is. As long as the Raiders can go out there and do their job and get that W, that’s all that matters at the end of the day. And I know that we can all feel a little bit better after that game if we do win. And that’s only if we do win though. Because if we lose, it’s gonna be a long walk to my car because I I I don’t want to hear a lot of those fans kind of going off. But you know what? That’s besides the point, Raider Nation. The Raiders are sitting at 2 and seven. The Cowboys are at 3 and six. Two of the worst teams in the NFL. But we both got fan bases that ri for our team no matter what. And in a big game like this, you know that everybody’s going to be watching this game. Hopefully, it’s an entertaining one and it’s not as boring as the Thursday night football game that we had just two weeks ago. So, in today’s video, we’re going to go over some of the latest news for the Raiders these past couple of days. We’re also going to go over some of the keys to victory for our team. And last but not least, three players that I’m going to be keeping my eye on in this game to help this Raiders team get that W come tomorrow night. That being said, if this is the very first time you guys are coming across the channel and you love Raiders content just like this, don’t forget to hit that like button, hit that subscribe button, and that notification icon button. Without further ado, here’s some nation news that you can use. So, first and foremost, we got some good news on the offensive line. It seems as if the Raiders are expecting left tackle Cotton Miller before the end of the season, per Ryan McFaten, saying that the Las Vegas Raiders are expecting left tackle Cotton Miller to return later this season. Miller has been out since week four with a high ankle sprain and hairline fracture as well. He was most recently seen in a walking boot on his injured foot. Head coach Pete Carol says that Miller is still on pace to finish the season. And I know what a lot of fans might be thinking right now. What’s the point of bringing COM Miller back when the team is already bad? Even though this team has not been competitive this year, we know that they’ve continued to press on with being competitive and competing every single week. So, if the Raiders can get a oneup every week to at least be competitive, that’s what they’re going to do. And if Coen Miller is good to go, I’m sure they’re going to throw his ass out there to play at left tackle cuz I know this offensive line could use as much help as they can get, especially with JBJ going out with an injury and possibly out for the rest of the season. On top of that, you never know what could happen in the NFL. Maybe this Monday Night Football game could be the turning point for the Raiders and where we get everything going. So having a guy like Cotton Miller to return to the offensive line could help this team elevate and win a lot more games. Then again, I’m a delusional fan and I always think that this team is going to win the Super Bowl every single year. Now, moving on to some other bit of news. Jack Jones, former Raiders quarterback, threw some shots at the team after the Dolphins beat the Commanders at Real Madrid earlier today. And Jack Jones sealed that game with an interception. And of course, he had to take to Twitter and throw some shots at his former team, saying, “The Raiders should have kept me # fans.” I mean, damn. Why even bring us up, right? I mean, you moved on. you got another team, you guys won. But of course, he wants to throw shots at his old team. I think that he felt like he was done wrong. The Raiders should have kept him. And I agree with him. I feel like the Raiders should have kept them. He wasn’t the best quarterback with us, but he had a knack for finding the ball and creating turnovers. He had that nice little run with AP when he was over here, but move on already. They keep this team’s name out of your mouth there. There’s no reason why you should be talking about this team, but I I get it. I get it. You want to prove something. You want to prove a point. Well, you know what? Your team is just as bad as our team. So, it really doesn’t mean much at the end of the day. I got to be real with you guys for a second. I’ve been staying busy between making content, editing, going to the games, even spending time with my family. And with all of that going on, cooking a meal every single day isn’t easy.

Big shout out to Factor for sponsoring today’s video. I got I got the keys now. Now, I want to go over three keys to victory for the Raiders if they want to win this matchup on Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys. Key number one is get into an offensive rhythm. Now, this is going to be a huge game offensively and defensively, but the Raiders have got to keep drives alive offensively. We’ve seen them against the Denver Broncos after a strong showing in the first two drives. They really had no momentum for the rest of the game. They need to establish the run with Ashen Jenty early and often. If we can’t get the run game going, we cannot expect opposing teams to fall for the play action, especially coming out of the shotgun. On top of that, we got to utilize Brock Bowers as much as possible as well. He was barely utilized against the Denver Broncos. I know the Broncos were all over him throughout that game, but he’s the number one weapon that we have on this offensive side of the ball. He’s going to be the guy that’s going to be the security blanket for Gino Smith. So, even if he’s not open, if he’s doubled, find a way to get him the ball. When in doubt, throw it to Brock Bars. I’m sure those 50-50 balls, he’ll come down with half of those. We also got to capitalize on favorable situations on third and shorts, whether we’re red zone. We cannot come away with penalties. We cannot come away with just field goals all the time in the red zone. We got to capitalize and score points. And to Jack Besh and Dante Thornton, do your job when you guys are out there. If you guys are going to get that play time, you guys got to do your job. No penalties, especially when we have big plays that get called back because that really ruins any type of momentum that this team can have up until that point. And that said, the Raiders have got to they have got to take advantage of Dallas’s weak defense. Now, I know they added some new pieces there, but their defense has been known to give up big plays and have opposing offenses just score multiple times on them. I know we’re not a highpowered offense, but damn, we got enough weapons here to at least put some points on the board. Key number two is win and special teams. Now, I know special teams before the season wasn’t really a big thing that I was really worried about, but watching this team and how bad we’ve been on special teams, it’s been one of the key factors for this team losing multiple games. Like I’ve said before, looking at a couple of games that could have gone a whole different direction if the special teams got their act together. The Raiders could easily be five and four right now. Of course, they’re not, which is why they fired Tom McMahon, which is why Daniel Carlson, I think, is on a hot seat. Our special teams is going to be really important in this game. We need to compete in the return game. Don’t allow any big returns from the Dallas’s side, especially if we’re not trying to give them any type of good field advantage with the offense that they do have. And last but not least, Daniel Carlson. Make your damn kicks. Make your kicks. That’s that’s all we asking. No block punts for AJ Cole and Daniel Carlson. When you have a chance to go and kick a field goal or extra point, make the damn field goal and make the extra point because those are the things that bite us in the ass at the end of the day when we come away with that L. So, special teams is also going to be just as important as our offense. And last but not least, key number three is keep that energy on defense. Now, our defense really showed up against the Denver Broncos doing a great job against Bo Nixon. That offense, shutting them down for the most part, only allowing seven points. Yeah, they got a field goal, but that was off of a block punt and short field, but they kept the Raiders in the game. And they’ve been keeping the Raiders offense in the game for majority of the season. So, with how solid our defense is, they’re going to be going up against a highpowered offense in the Dallas Cowboys. They got many weapons over there from Javvante Williams to CD Lamb, George Pickkins, and so much more. It’s going to be a big test for our defensive line, especially for our secondary. They need to apply consistent pressure on Dak Prescott, make him force throws, maybe even turnovers, and hopefully we can come away with some turnovers and give our offense some type of momentum. Just continue to have that bend but don’t break type of defense and just stop the run. I feel like if the Raiders can do all three of those things, then we’ll be all right. Now, before I move on to some players to watch in this game, I want to give a quick shout out to my bookie. Whether you guys expect the Raiders to go and whoop the cowg girls on Monday Night Football, chase a big parlay or even just test your football knowledge, My Bookie makes it easy for you. They’ve got everything all in one spot from the NFL to the NBA to college football lines and so much more. Now, I know that the Raiders are the underdogs going into Monday night against the Cowgirls, but I don’t know what it is, but I have a bit of a good feeling that they could pull this one off. So, if you guys are trying to get in on the action and you’re new to my bookie, then make sure to use my promo code Simone and any bet that you place up to $500 is fully guaranteed when you opt in for your betback bonus token. So, don’t wait and head over to my bookie today. Now, for the three players to keep an eye on in this game that I’m hoping to have a big game, number one is Brock Bowers. We know how important Brock Bowers is to this offense and we’ve seen in these last two games how different the offense has looked when Brock Bowers is utilized correctly. Now, he was taken out of this Broncos game and even Chip Kelly admitted that he called a bad game and he should have got the ball more to Brock Bowers. On top of that, I think that Broncos defense did a great job in covering him. So, it made it real hard for Gino Smith to get it to him. He only got targeted three times, only came away with one reception. That is totally unacceptable for this offense if we want to keep that offense moving. Now, of course, the game before that against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had himself a day, a huge, huge game. Three touchdowns, over 100 yards, 12 plus receptions. That’s the type of Brock Bowers that we need in this game if we want any chance of winning on Monday Night Football. Player number two is the Big O, my cousin Isaiah Pull. Now, Pamount is no stranger to making plays on the defensive side of the ball. He’s been able to make a lot of plays. He’s always he always finds his way around the ball, which is huge. Now, he has struggled in coverage a couple of times here and there giving a big play. So, this is going to be a big test for not only Isaiah Palamo, but the rest of the secondary. His positioning and coverage is going to be key versus Dallas high-powered offense. And Dak Prescott and the offense will definitely test the Raiders defensive decision-making. So, Pull Mau has definitely got to be on his P’s and Q’s and hopefully he doesn’t get caught off guard. I’m looking for Isaiah to make some plays out there that will gain some momentum on this team and, you know, flip the script. Whether it’s getting a force fumble, a big tackle, a sack, an interception, whatever it may be, I’m hoping that the is out there and he’s throwing up the S one time for the one time for the people, for the culture, for my family. And the last player to look out for is none other than Gino Jeffrey Smith. This is a guy that we have been really, really frustrated with throughout the season. I know he’s been talking about running the table, you know, they paying him the big bucks, but we just haven’t been seeing it out there. And in this last game against the Denver Broncos, he struggled. the offense and and Ho struggled and he wasn’t able to get anything going. I know he got banged up, the offensive line got banged up, so that didn’t help. And the penalties really hurt this offense, especially when we had any type of momentum against the Dallas defense. Like I’ve said before countless times, they’ve struggled a lot against opposing offense. Now, I know that offense isn’t that crazy, but we got enough weapons here to make some plays and make some big moves in tomorrow’s game. So, the big question is how will Gino Smith respond against Dallas’s defense? I believe that everything is going to come down to Gino’s poison in the pocket and his decision-m because we know when he starts throwing interceptions, it ain’t good. But when he’s comfortable and he’s able to get things going, he could be that guy. But we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see what Gino Smith we’re going to get. That said, Raider Nation, what do you guys think about this game? How do you feel about this Raiders team on Monday Night Football? For me, I’m just hoping that the Raiders can win this one just for bragging rights. That’s all we want is just the Raiders to win so we don’t have to hear from all the Cowboy fans at Allegiance Stadium because we know they’re going to be rolling deep. But if we do our job and we win, then we can have a field day and just enjoy the rest of the week. If we lose the rest of the season, that’s totally fine. Just beat the Cowboys. Oh well, you know what? We got to beat uh the Chargers in LA cuz I I hate going to LA just to lose. But the Chargers and the Cowboys, just give us that and then we can move on with our year. It is what it is. But of course, Raider Nation, let me know down in the comments below. Until the next video, this your boy Small Raider and your boy is Yow.

I want this team to be successful. I'm tired of seeing this team get embarrassed week after week. I will always ride with my Raiders but this organization needs to figure something out. I think we tank and get a better pick and draft a QB because Geno ain't doing much for us, and we should start playing our younger guys. Get rid of Chip Kelly this year.
If it was 2021, i would’ve had trouble sleeping tonight cause of the excitement for a primetime game with a actual good team that id look forward to watching but…
Its 2025…..i got nothing…. Go raiders i guess
Geno sucks with or without a good O-Line
WE DEM BOYZ…NOT!!! THERE'S ONLY ONE NATION IN THE NFL RN4L

Lots a annoying Cowterds fans flooding the stadium…as far as the game goes if stinko jeno is playing than we already lost lets not get too excited its gonna be the same B.S. every week!….Go Raiders!
Nice shirt, I wish we had AP back.
Must win for what? A worse draft position? 😂😂
Turkey would be alott more tastier with a W 🤔😆
Be real, put down the pipe you gonna OD on that hopium….
I see us winning! Brock goes off and Dak has a bad game!
Must win? Dude this season has been over before the end of September.
Jack Jones needs to chill the dolphins are not that team lmao
Lol…talking head morons…”must win game”… completely delusional

Why win now, just gonna ruin draft position and hope that Chip and Geno are good. They need to go and start fresh AGAIN…
The cowboys are 3-5-1. Thats boys not girls lol
I hope the O line does good we need Pete to fix that shit
It’s just a bracing right game
I have no faith in this team. Another embarrassing loss coming up. Please prove me wrong.
