God’s country. And what better way to experience it than from the basket of a hot air balloon? That must be part of what Antonio Brown figured when he hopped in a hot air balloon on Raiders training camp report day.No doubt this delighted the Hard Knocks crew on hand. The more antics the better for their ratings. Jon Gruden embraced it for the most part. His only concern is the health of his star receiver.“Is he ok, that’s all I want to know,’ said Gruden. “I expect a lot more drama from number 84, I really do. I’ve told Antonio try not to yell at Derek, yell at me when you have a problem. Then he started yelling at me, I said don’t yell at me, yell at Olson, he’s the offensive coordinator. “He’s a fun guy to be around, man. I expected a bit more than a hot air balloon. I thought he might jump out of an airplane and parachute in himself. He’s going to add a lot of life to this organization at a position where obviously we need some explosive plays.”These balloon rides take off at round 5am and land around 8am, so AB was done well before he was to report to the Napa Valley Marriott for camp.Though Gruden leaned into Brown’s balloon adventure Bo Jackson Jersey White , he would later say that he would prefer that of all the admirable traits Brown has, fellow starting receiver Tyrell Williams not start doing similar stunts.Follow @LeviDamien It’s on.

The Rams are in Napa, ready to face off against the Raiders in training camp practice. Today is the first of two training camp scrimmage days for the Raiders and Rams. The starters for the Raiders will get their best work of the preseason in these two days.“[T]he starters will get a lot of work where they won’t in the first preseason game,” Gruden said of the two scrimmage days, “so we’ll be able to see our young corners against some great receivers and vice versa. And we’ll see how we stack up against the NFC champs and it will be a great challenge for us.”You couldn’t ask for a tougher team to practice against than the Rams who were in the Super Bowl a few months ago. This offseason the Raiders signed away one of the Rams’ top defensive backs, reeling in Lamarcus Joyner. He knows what’s at stake facing his former team.“We just want to see who’s willing to play. Coach Gruden is starting something new around here. Trying to bring back the Silver & Black dread,” Joyner said after practice Tuesday. “ to play and who’s worthy of wearing that Silver & Black jersey.”When these two teams faced off in the preseason last year, neither team played their starters in the game. Expect the same when they meet up in their first preseason game on Saturday.In fact, we didn’t hardly see any of the Raiders starters last preseason, which seem to be somewhat of a trend. Teams are using the preseason games more for player evaluation than for prepping the established starters.This approach makes it tough to get any real indication of what kind of team the Raiders will be fielding this season, though it could help give an indication of the potential depth on the team. It makes the next two days all the more critical for the coaches and the players to work against another team. For that reason they’ve been anticipating this day since the start of camp. Practice begins at 9:50 am and is scheduled to go until 12:30 pm. Follow @LeviDamien
