Posted November 17, 2008 at 5:15 pmSomeone 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 [...]

Posted November 17, 2008 at 1:00 amMIAMI – The Raiders were four yards away from the end zone near the end of the second quarter.It was the closest the team had gotten to the goal line since scoring a touchdown in Baltimore on Oct. 26.But somewhere, someone must have cued up rap artist KRS-One because from there the Raiders’ offense was suddenly headed for “Self Destruction.”Two false starts by left tackle …

Posted November 16, 2008 at 11:31 pmI must be going soft. I’m about to hand out praise for a team that fell to 2-8 and hasn’t scored an offensive touchdown in 13 quarters.Actually, I won’t praise the team as a whole, because it’s pretty bad. But I’m singling out several Raiders who managed to shine amidst the muck in Sunday’s 17-15 loss at Miami.LB Thomas Howard: He had one of his …

Posted November 15, 2008 at 1:00 amALAMEDA – There’s a chance two players who haven’t touched a football in two weeks could start at wide receiver for the Raiders.Javon Walker is out with a bone separation in his left ankle and needs surgery. The other starter, rookie Chaz Schilens, has been limited in practice all week by a sprained ankle.That could lead to some shuffling of the receiver rotation. Ashley Lelie …

Posted November 14, 2008 at 6:54 pmIf there is one position on the Raiders that typifies the way this team has struggled since Super Bowl XXXVII, it’s left tackle.You may remember Tampa Bay defensive end Simeon Rice running circles around Barry Sims during that game in January, 2003. Little did you realize that it signaled the beginning of the end of the Raiders’ title aspirations.Since then, no one has been able …
