ALAMEDA, Calif. -- The Raiders preseason game against Seattle means nothing in the big picture other than being the final hurdle before the regular season.For backup quarterbacks Matt McGloin and rookie Connor Cook, it means a whole lot more.With Derek Carr almost certain to sit out against the Seahawks, the Raiders will lean on McGloin and Cook to share the quarterback duties in what will be their last extended workout before the regular season begins.One of the two will be Carrs primary understudy. Although McGloin seems to have the edge, coach Jack Del Rio and his staff havent made an official announcement, which puts an added emphasis on Thurday nights game at the Oakland Coliseum.You just let everything out, Cook said Tuesday. All the stuff that I have learned thus far, go use it. This is the time to cut loose and have fun with the guys. We know theres going to be cuts after this game and once the season starts the reps are going to be very miniscule so were just going to go out there and have fun.Del Rio hasnt revealed the quarterback rotation for Oaklands preseason finale but McGloin is expected to start while Cook, a fourth-round draft pick this year, is expected to come off the bench late in the first half and play the remainder of the game.The Raiders are likely to keep both players on the 53-man roster so the game against the Seahawks is more a formality than anything else.Still, the two quarterbacks understand the significance of what playing well could mean in the big picture.Both have had moments where theyve played well and each has also struggled.Thats the thing about preseason, you have a limited amount of reps so it is crucial for you to get in there, get a couple of completions early and get into a nice rhythm, McGloin said. Preseason or not, practice or not, its always important as a quarterback to get into a great rhythm, find completions and get that confidence built up.McGloin has been the Raiders backup quarterback since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2013. He started six games as a rookie but has played in only three since then.The former Penn State standout has had mixed results this preseason after signing a $2.55 million second-round tender with Oakland. McGloin threw a pair of touchdown passes against Arizona in the preseason opener but has failed to match that since. He attempted only five passes against Green Bay then went 8 of 13 versus Tennessee last week but threw an interception and had a 44.1 rating.Ive done some good things, Ive done some things that definitely need improvement on, McGloin said. You can always improve on decision-making, always improve on your checks and things like that. Its just continuing to get better every day.Cook, who holds almost every meaningful passing record at Michigan State, got off to a slow start with the Raiders and is coming off a game in which he was intercepted twice while completing 16 of 26 attempts.The comfort level that I have now is head and shoulders above where I was in minicamp and OTAs, Cook said. With limited reps its hard as a quarterback. For any of the quarterbacks, even starters who get in there and play three series and then theyre done. As a quarterback you need to establish a rhythm. It could take you a quarter, it could take you maybe a half. Its just how it is at the quarterback position.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Air Max Shoes Sale Online . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim.

Sydney forward Tom Papley started the AFL season 404 goals behind Eddie Betts, but now stands alongside the Adelaide champion in a situation that would have been unthinkable six months ago.Betts, the electrifying 12-season sharpshooter and Papley, the first-year Swan, are the joint leading goalkickers in the 2016 finals series with nine apiece.Papley started with two majors in the qualifying final loss to GWS Giants, kicked a career-best four against Bettss Adelaide in a semi-final and three in the preliminary final victory over Geelong.Betts bagged six in a elimination final rout of North Melbourne and three in the loss to Sydney which ended the Crows finals campaign, which finished with the livewire forward kicking a career-best 75 goals.Papley, who was an apprentice plumber before being picked up in the 2016 rookie draft, has kicked 29 goals this season, second highest at the Swans behind Lance Frankin.Paps is in his first year of football, you forget that, Franklin told the Seven network.He kicked three this week and then last week kicked four. Thats an unbelievable effort by a first-year player to come in and hit thhe scoreboard like that.ddddddddddddPapley, whose grandfathers Max Papley and Jeff Bray both played for South Melbourne in the 1960s, is still coming to terms with his meteoric rise.I spoke to him before the prelim last week and he was just shaking his head (when comparing) where he is now to where he was last year, Swans back Nick Smith said.You can see his excitement and hes just really enjoying his footy at the moment.For all the hoo-ha over his goalkicking exploits, Papley has always made forward pressure his biggest priority since breaking into the side.Thats what I work on the most, Papley told AAP after kicking three goals on debut in the opening round against Collingwood.If Im going to play in this side its what Im going to play for - not to kick goals, just defensive pressure.LEADING GOALKICKERS IN THE 2016 AFL FINALS SERIES*9 - Tom Papley^ (Syd), Eddie Betts (Ade)*7 - Tory Dickson^ (WB), Clay Smith^ (WB)*6 - Lance Franklin ^ (Syd), Tom Lynch (Ade)^Club still involved in finals series ' ' '
