Last night was the season opener for the Oakland Raiders, as well as for the National Football League. The football game was played on the NFL's highly celebrated Monday Night Football show and the "Ruthless Raiders" took on the Denver Broncos at Denver. The game was very undisciplined and both teams ending up with a bunch of penalty flags which in turn, turned into a lot of negative yardage. The game was eventually won by the raiders, 23-20.
My god-father's little cousin, is Jerome Boyd, who is number 30 for the Oakland Raiders. Jerome had a great game and he was everywhere on the field during the amount of time that he was playing. He had only made 6 or 7 tackles, i think but at the same time that is really good for a second year player in his first Monday Night Football game. He must have been doing something right because the commentators were talking quite a bit about him and how good of a player he has the potential to be. Jerome actually plays the same exact position as me and I look forward to trying to work with him in the future and him helping me out with my technique. Jerome played his college years at the University of Oregon and learned from some of the best definsive backs coaches in college football. He has to be one of the hardest working football players i know and i look up to him for that.
