Don’t get me wrong, the man is still 2-8 as the Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders but another team should consider adding him. Playing the toughest schedule in the NFL combined with a rookie quarterback and roster filled with post prime veterans, Sparano wasn’t put into a position to succeed. The fact that Sparano… Continue reading Sparano deserves another shot

If you want to win bring Harbaugh in
Bringing Jim Harbaugh in as coach for the Raiders is one of those things that just makes almost too much sense for it to actually happen. Many of us fans have heard the anecdote about Al Davis telling Harbaugh he would one day be a Raider despite the owner not signing him as a player.… Continue reading If you want to win bring Harbaugh in

Cowboys Raiders practice gets chippy
Fortunately I attended today’s practice and got the live effect of Raidernation. Our fans were probably the most spectacular position group on display. Besides regular chants of Raiders, fans cheered for every big play and hit. From my vantage point, defense was my main focus point. The defensive line impressed me with a variety of… Continue reading Cowboys Raiders practice gets chippy
Old Faces New Places
Before the second week of Preseason Football begins, I want to take one last look at some of last years contributors who are no longer on the team. As these guys make roles for themselves, I think it is important to have one last memory of them as Oakland Raiders. I know I tend to… Continue reading Old Faces New Places
Depth Chart Battle Continues
The Raiders unofficial depth chart revealed Matt Schaub having new targets on offense, as well as veterans continuing their hold on the starting line up. Andre Holmes surprised a lot of people in camp by establishing himself as a starting wide receiver. I hope he can continue the progress throughout the preseason, as he will… Continue reading Depth Chart Battle Continues
Defensive Backs creating a Culture
Dennis Allen is most notably connected to the New Orleans Saints Championship Team. What did he coach? Defensive Backs, and it seems like he is finally transferring that knowledge to the silver and black. That Saints team was noted for takeovers in the secondary, but the only thing the Raiders secondary has been noted for… Continue reading Defensive Backs creating a Culture
Who wins Tight End position?
Tight end has become an increasingly transitioning position in the NFL. Unfortunately, The Raiders have not had a dominate tight end since Zach Miller left a few seasons ago. They will need one as starting quarterback Matt Schaub utilized the tight end efficiently in Houston. The talk of Jermichael Finley to the Raiders has settled… Continue reading Who wins Tight End position?
Linebacker Corps, strength of Raiders
Linebackers are no longer the prominent three down players they once were. With the use of more defensive backs and pass rushers the linebacker often gets lost in the shuffle. Lucky for the Raiders, they have five starting caliber linebackers. The group should be the strength of the entire team after adding No. 5 pick… Continue reading Linebacker Corps, strength of Raiders
Training Camp: Reciever is Raiders’ biggest batlle
Without a dominate number one receiver, the Raiders need training camp to establish who will be their number one receiver. Veteran James Jones seems to be the favorite, well Rod Streater, the team’s incumbent leading receiver looks to break-out in only his third year. Combined with Denarrius Moore’s highlight reel play making ability, there should… Continue reading Training Camp: Reciever is Raiders’ biggest batlle
