Someone in this space made a snide remark yesterday regarding the left tackle position and the only way Kwame Harris remains the starter is if he has pictures.

Much of what you need to know about the Raiders’ offense and the inability to score touchdowns came late in the first half with Oakland in unfamiliar territory.
It was first-and-goal at the 5-yard line, with the help of a gift 41-yard pass interference penalty on Yeremiah Bell agaisnst Ashley Lelie and a 27-yard strike from [...]

After the Dolphins punted, Oakland came out passing, as JaMarcus [...]
