The Raiders and Saints will meet in Oakland this Saturday in the preseason and head coach Sean Payton believes it will be a big test for his club.
"They run the ball real well," said Payton. "I think it?s a big challenge. When you're talking about Oakland, there are a handful of teams that draw real well in the preseason and are a place that?s tough to play in. I think it?s a good experience to bring young players into a place like this an experience like Oakland. They?ve run the ball real well in the reason and done a good job."
Payton also spoke of how the Raiders are an improved team from last season.
"They?re much improved from a year ago and played well at the end of last season. It will be a good challenge for us.
