What’s going on folks. We’ve still got some time before they announce the inactive list, so I’ll have that for you shortly.
I did watch cornerback Kelly Jennings working with the trainers earlier this morning. He seemed to be laboring as he went through agility drills, so I would be surprised if he plays today. That means the Seahawks likely will play Nate Ness and Kennard Cox some today. I think we will see Roy Lewis stay at his role of nickel back.
I snapped some photos on my way in which you can check out below.
Sadly, these people aren’t dressed any differently because it’s halloween than they would any regular season game. It’s why I cannot condone face-painting on any level.

I don’t get the Namdi A vs Mike Williams talk.
So far OAK’s 26th ranked ’10 Pass-D:
vs. #1 WR, DVOA 52.0%, Rk 32, Pa/G 6.2, Yd/G 55.0;
vs. #2 WR, DVOA -1.9%, Rk 15, Pa/G 5.5, Yd/G 42.8;
vs. Other WR, DVOA -20.1%, Rk 6, Pa/G 5.1, Yd/G 35.4;
vs. TE DVOA 33.8% Rk 28, Pa/G 6.2 Yd/G 50.8; and
vs. RB DVOA 0.1% Rk 17 Pa/G 7.0 Yd/G 37.3
Namdi isn’t going against the #1 WR – either that or he’s playing with a broken ankle(?) Looks like Namdi’s playing against the slot guy.
OAK’s 26th ranked ’09 Pass-D:
vs. #1 WR, DVOA 28.3%, Rk 32, Pa/G 7.1, Yd/G 70.8;
vs. #2 WR DVOA 22.3%, Rk 28, Pa/G 4.5, Yd/G 39.6;
vs. Other WR, DVOA 4.5%, Rk 19, Pa/G 4.3, Yd/G 28.8;
vs. TE DVOA 1.6% Rk 16, Pa/G 5.8 Yd/G 43.4; and
vs. RB DVOA -4.6% Rk 13 Pa/G 5.9 Yd/G 34.9.
Where did Namdi play last season?
OAK’s 13th ranked ’08 Pass-D:
vs. #1 WR, DVOA -19.4%, Rk 2, Pa/G 6.7, Yd/G 52.3;
vs. #2 WR, DVOA 31.0%, Rk 29, Pa/G 4.3, Yd/G 37.7;
vs. Other WR, DVOA -0.4%, Rk 22, Pa/G 4.9, Yd/G 36.4;
vs. TE, DVOA -16.8%, Rk 5, Pa/G 6.4, Yd/G 42.3; and
vs. RB, DVOA 3.8%, Rk 14, Pa/G 6.6, Yd/G 37.4
I think Namdi played the #1 WR in ’08, but he’s bouncing around covering different receivers this season. Matt just has to look for the black jersey with the #21 and throw it elsewhere.

As one from the original class of the 12th man, this HAS to be my favorite out of division game. Beating the Raiders feels SOOOOOO good. Let’s kick some butt.
GO HAWKS!!!
