IntroductionI’ve been meaning to write an article about football and now the time has come. Over 250 million people play football and out of all teams, the raiders are my favorite. In some countries/states American football is referred to as gridiron. It is a team sport played by two teams of eleven players on a rectangular field. The team without possession of the ball has to aim to stop the defense and take control over the ball completely. Each touchdown counts as 6 points, the team with the most points at the end wins.
Oakland Raiders The Oakland Raiders will forever be my favorite football team and here’s why. Ever since my dad started watching them, I started going for them too. For me, it seems like they have a very passionate feeling about how they play and that’s what causes me to like them even more. The owner of the raiders is Mark Davis and they have been around for more than 50 years now since the 1960s. Their first ever game was against the Caroline Panthers on Sep 13 in Charlotte.
Quarterbacks The quarterback known as the “signal-caller’, is a position in the gridiron that is meant for the offensive team. They line up directly behind the offensive line. It is usually considered the leader of the offensive team & is common to be held for calling the play in a huddle. One of my top quarterback players is Derek Carr.
Derek Dallas Carr
Derek Carr was born (March 28, 1991), he is a quarterback playing for the Las Vegas Raiders and he has a 5-year contract for the raiders. He has played college football back in Fresno State. Derek has also been drafted by the raiders in the second round in the 2014 NFL Draft. Carr is the younger brother of former NFL analyst David Carr.
Conclusion
Therefore I hoped this gave you a better view of the raiders & football. I also hope that at least some of my classmates go for them as well. As my article came to an end I’ve realized how much you could learn from seeing the games & listening carefully. My information has all been based on what I know & what I’ve heard my dad say. It’s always nice to learn something new.
