Offensive Coordinator for the Las Vegas Raiders, Mick Lombardi, spoke earlier this week about preparing for the Frod Field noise.

"Playing in a dome is definitely different. I mean, we play in one every Sunday, but ours is a little bit different. I haven't been there in a while, but it's definitely something we are going to have to get used to. The good thing for us is we're very used to using the silent count, so we're used to being against noise, whether it's home or away. So, the silent count is something that we've been practicing for a long time, and we use it on a regular basis. I would say definitely playing in a dome is different with kind of getting off the football and we've got to do a good job on the cadence and making sure we're good to go and not letting them get a good jump on the football. A a lot of good dome teams with good defensive lines can take advantage of that. But our efforts in the silent counts are going to pay off, I think a little bit." 

The Silver and Black will stay on the road to take on the Detroit Lions on Monday night, Oct. 30, at 8:15 p.m. EDT/5:15 p.m. PDT.
