On the road in K.C.

Atmosphere was what I thought it would be last week, but obviously we were disappointed in the results. I got a stinger in my neck and had to leave the game. Everything's fine though, ready to play against Kansas City. I heard it gets loud there. Another big rivalry and their home opener so I'm sure it will be loud and crazy. I guess it will be a little like going on the road in the SEC. All those stadiums get loud, LSU probably the loudest and definitely the most wild. I think playing in the SEC and going to those stadiums helps get you ready for places like KC. I guess I'm about to find out. We had a good week of practice and we can't wait to get out there again.

  You personally looked good on your carries against Denver. I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen when you get more opportunities!

  Congratulations to you on your first Touchdown in the NFL! The first of many to come! Now I wish that I had started you on Fantasy Football. I hope you've just saved Lane Kiffin's job. Go Raiders!

  d-mizzle u went out there and handled the biz thats what we drafted u for and u r comin throu as advertised and more jus keep doin what u been doin and it will really take alot of pressure off jamarcus so he can stop worryin about everything else and jus play football and when that happens teams are gonna start circling us on the schedule because with the talent that we have on offense especially running backs with u fargas and bush in the back field we will be dangerous.....buh great game man great game to all u guys... now lets get ready for dem bills!!!!!

  GREAT GAME DMAC! I knew you'd get your first NFL td yesterday. I am glad they opened up the play book a little bit for you. Let everyone one that the NATION appreciates the win. 7.0 yards average per carry in just two games. Whew! Let this carry over to next week and keep up the good work.

  Run DMC. I'm praying your toe feels better on Sunday. The best way not to aggravate it is to run faster than anyone else. Pls. when you see Al, tell him to keep Kiffin.
