Oakland, right now, is 2-5, facing an upcoming divisional opponent and has issues of maturity in its quarterback, JaMarcus Russell. Questions have also been raised if the WR corps, young and raw, are even going to catch on. But at the same time, people who have been growing tired of the same old song and dance think a player switch here or a change there will suddenly make this team viable ...

After two and a half months, Tom Cable can breath a little easier now. The Napa District Attorney elected to not pursue felony assault charges against Tom Cable, citing several key items that had come to light since the August 5th incident. For one, was the timing involved in such a case. For the police to properly do theirájob, the party seeking legal action should have cooperated completely with the police department. ...

For Oakland, last week's win was a nice change of pace. Strong defense, aided by timely scoring by Zach Miller and Sebastian Janikowski. For Tom Cable, his basic statement on the matter said a lot. "Do it again." The Raiders have had issues in the past, having a good win, then sliding back into the ways that frustrates coaches. A case in point, last year was when the Raiders beat the New York Jets ...

The Raiders, coming home and looking at a 1-4 record, had been hearing it for weeks. They didn't have much for an offense. Their defense was looking horrible, with the last two weeks leaving the media plenty of fodder for complaining. The Eagles, meanwhile came into the bay area looking to simply brush aside a Raiders team that should have been easy to tear into. But I guess that is why the games ...

Looking at the Raiders, it is not a simple thing that needs to be done for the Raiders to come back to respectability, but a series of actions, just to turn the corner. The Oakland Raider' defense started the season with some promise. Against the San Diego Chargers, the Raiders almost squeezed out a win, until the defense went soft, causing a late-game TD that left some shaking their heads. Although, some ...

Five weeks into a season that has gone from hopeful to chaotic, the Oakland Raiders have several options to look at regarding the team, what course of action to take, and hopefully salvage some wins. Or things could go down in flames. Looking at the team in the last few weeks, one key point that stands out is the lack of production from the quarterback, JaMarcus Russell (you may know him ...

For the Oakland fans, it hasn't been an easy season...and it has only been four weeks. We have watched a close loss at home, a lateátouchdown win on the road, a blowout loss at home, and then a disaster at Houston. We've seen a good game, a bad game, a sloppy game, and a horrid performance. For a change, I think the Raider Nation would like to be shocked. The NFL and ...

Before anyone jumps the gun, the question that disturbs people of the Raider Nation, should be easy. Innocent or guilty? So far all we know regarding the case at hand was Randy Hanson went to a hospital with a broken jaw. As the media pounced on a leaked source, rumors circulated that Tom Cable, coach for the Oakland Raiders delivered a sucker punch during a meeting to the young coach, who has ...

The truth is out there...and it's a scary prospect. Nothing is more frustrating than watching the team you love struggle, than watching the coach pretend things are okay. Tom Cable, things are not okay. Andáby the looks of it, they are not getting better each week. JaMarcus Russell is still the laughingstock of the NFL. Dropped passes, fumbles and poor play quality adds up to a team that needs to sit down and figure ...

Sometimes you gotta wonder if this guy is paid enough. On one side you have the job as a coach. He has to look at the roster, figure out the opposing team, find weaknesses, bounce ideas off the coaches, talk to the media and then play babysitter to millionaires. All that, before Sunday. Then comes the other side...Al Davis. With this side, he has to constantly listen to an owner who wants to be ...
