Has His Mind Made up

Denarius Moore is by far the most talented and dynamic receiver the Raiders have but he never did put it all together. Last year, he watched Rod Streater become the No. 1 receiver then this year, he found himself on the roster bubble. That was a good move on the coaches’ part as Moore has made up his mind to be the star he always could be.

He is the only receiver outside of Streater not to have a dropped pass this preseason and has made a bunch of big plays. Therefore, he has earned his spot back on the other side of Streater at the start of the regular season. Against Green Bay, Schaub had trouble, partially because no one could get open until Moore went into the game and made plays for him.

As a matter of fact, Moore has taken back the best receiver on the team status this preseason—ask the quarterbacks.
