Anatomy of a run defense: How the Raiders can improve on their dismal 07
One of the oldest adages in football is that to win a team has to be able to run the ball and stop the run. The Raiders of 2007 ran the ball very well much to the surprise of everyone outside of Alameda ending up with the sixth ranked rushing offense. On the other hand, the Raiders...

When the Raiders fired Lane Kiffin and promoted Tom Cable to the job of interim coach, I wasn't sure what, if anything, would truly change. Well, other than the fact that Cable wouldn't snipe at Al Davis the way Kiffin did, and he'd probably let JaMarcus Russell throw a...

No matter what any of the paid professional evaluators say, there is no such thing as a “can’t miss prospect“. Adjusting to the NFL is not as simple as just showing up and playing. Many cannot cope with the heightened expectations and constant scrutiny. Others were...
Sam Hurd is limping
Who cares about Michael Huff's interception? The news on that play is that Sam Hurd limped off the field.

• Dwayne Bowe, WR, Chiefs. A big-time talent, to be sure, and one the Chiefs might be willing to part with for the right price. Baltimore could take a look.

Bust v Beast: What makes a NFL draft pick successful? What should the Oakland Raiders do?
"He's a bust!" That phrase gets thrown around whenever a draft pick doesn't live up to their perceived potential. Nnamdi Asomugha carried that label before braking out in 2006, despite the continual obvious improvement in his play. He just hadn't gotten a pick...

If John Marshall is reading this, then he knows all we’re doing here is stating the obvious. When Al Davis handed the new Raider defensive coordinator his dossier upon hire, Marshall must have done a double take.
