In week two of the preseason the 49ers will host their Bay Area rivalry’s Oakland Raiders in the Battle of the Bay.  The 49ers have a lot to improve on since last weeks lost but you already knew that.  To find out about more about the Raiders and see what the Raiders Nation expectations are this season Niner Noise did a Q&A with Chris Shellcroft over at Just Blog Baby.  Below are Chris’ answers and you can head over to Just Blog Baby to see my Q&A.
