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.
Well, the pictures, are in, and in the analysis of coach Tom Cable, they weren’t kind to Mario Henderson.
This comes a day after Cable’s initial reaction was that [...]

Will post a wrap-up following the game.
Is it really too much to ask to convert a few third down plays and punch the ball into the end zone two or three times?
If the Raiders could manage to do that, it’s not [...]
If Shane Lechler trots on to the field at Dolphin Stadium Sunday on third down, we’ll assume coach Tom Cable has simply given up.
Until then, the Raiders interim coach will try and figure out a way to solve a problem which has crippled his team’s offense and has the franchise careening toward another season of [...]

Unless you’re the Oakland Raiders (2-7), who are mired in awful play once again this season and are looking down the barrel of a sixth straight losing season. The Miami Dolphins (5-4) on the other hand are rebuilding and have direction under new management. And after a one-win [...]

ALAMEDA – Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Knapp’s voice still is the one in the quarterback’s headset.The difference is, the play the quarterback hears won’t be Knapp’s call. He’ll just be relaying a message from interim head coach Tom Cable.Knapp, a former Sacramento State quarterback and assistant coach, had his duties as play-caller taken over by Cable last week before the Raiders played the Carolina Panthers.And …

Look somewhere else other than at offensive coordinator Greg Knapp.
Beat writer Steve Corkran is reporting that Knapp was relieved of his play-calling duties after four games (not including the San Diego game when he assisted Lane Kiffin in that capacity), told he wouldn’t call plays for [...]

When the Raiders released their inactive list, Russell was listed as the No. 3 quarterback, with Walter as the starter. Other inactives include running back Darren McFadden and wide receiver Ronald [...]
