Vic Tafur of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that he hung out with former Raiders coach John Madden today at his man cave in Pleasanton, and the Hall of Famer said Raiders coach Dennis Allen was playing without a full deck this season.
Oakland finished 4-12 in Allens first year on the job.
Hes got a ways to go, Madden said. He was playing the game without a full deck. To be honest, they dont have enough players. The cupboard was pretty bare. It would have been touch to do much more than what they did.
If hes going to do well, they gotta get a lot more
some teams need a quarterback or a running back, or a pass rusher
The Raiders need a whole barrel of guys.

Dmitri Kulikov's Panther teammates began their shortened camp today in preparation for the season opener against Carolina Saturday night. Kulikov might be in Russia. Maybe in the U.S. No one knows except for maybe Panther GM Dale Tallon, head coach Kevin Dineen, and Kulikov's agent and family.

John Madden: Colin Kaepernick reminds me of Usain Bolt
Saying Colin Kaepernick ran all over the Packers on Saturday doesn’t even begin to describe it. Kaepernick did what no quarterback had ever previously done in the NFL game. His 181 rushing yards were the most by a quarterback in any game.
