Linehan looks on

The Rams and Raiders kickoff in Oakland tonight in a 9:00 game at McAfee Coliseum.  The last time the two teams met was in Week 15 last season.  The Rams defense allowed a season-low the 57 rushing yards and forced five turnovers in posting a 20-0 win.  Tonight the first-team offense is expected to play at least the first half.  Both teams enter the action with a record of 1-and-1.  The Rams close out the preseason against the Kansas City Chiefs Thursday night at the Edward Jones Dome.
