Cortland Finnegan: Born to be an Oakland Raider?
When the 2011 season started for the Oakland Raiders, coach Hue Jackson was determined to have his defense be a “bully” on the field. Of course he never wanted to set the single season record in both penalties and penalty yards, but that’s the risk you take when you create a monster of a defense. The defensive line was fantastic at creating pressure on the quarterback, the...

Raiders can’t keep McFadden and Bush
The Oakland Raiders will be forced to deal with a big dilemma this offseason at the running back position. It will be very difficult for them to keep Darren McFadden and re-sign Michael Bush. For salary cap reasons they will either need to let Bush walk in free agency or sign him and trade McFadden.
The best move in my opinion would be to trade McFadden because they would then...
