MacArthur Lane has seen just about everything there is to see in the NFL. Having played nine years as running back for the Chiefs, Packers, and Cardinals his knowledge of the game is beyond the PhD level. So we caught up with him right after the Raider’s 45-7 pre-season loss to the Saints to get his take on the situation.
“I’m very disappointed you know, we started off the first couple of series and fumbled and everything went down hill from there,” he said.
Week 3 is a pivotal game during the pre-season. The starters play most of the game and for the most part this is the closest thing to a full blown dress rehearsal for the regular season. So is it a good thing that this happened now?
“Yes,” he said, “it is a good thing because now the guys have a bad taste in their mouths. Now they have to get that bad taste out of their mouths by coming back and winning. Because this right here tells you something because even though it’s pre-season you don’t want to lose like this.”
When asked if he’d ever been in a situation like this the Oakland native said “Oh yes, I certainly have, but you got to be able to bounce back. That’s the name of the game. Every opportunity you get you have to make the best of it.”
The Raiders have a chance to bounce back this week against their former AFC West rivals the Seahawks. We shall see if they can overcome this setback and get on the right track in time for the home opener against the Chargers on Monday night September 14th.
