The DeAngelo-Cable-Knapp Factor:

PrintIt's really too bad that Justin Griffith will not be able to play this Sunday. Griffith would have made the number, 4, that were playing against a team that either fired them or Pro-Bowlers that left.
Each of these men was removed from the organization when the Petrino crowd moved into Atlanta.
Griffith was excused because he didn't fit Petrino's offense.
Cable was shown the door although he'd coached the #1 rushing Offensive Line in the NFL.
Knapp had to go as the OC because Petrino wanted "his guys".
DeAngelo Hall had had enough and wanted to secure his future with a team that would pay him.
Each of the latter is what led to each of these men landing in Oakland. I, for one, am very glad that each of them signed on here. Heck, the O-Line Coach, who is now the Head Coach, has the guys practicing Touch Down dances before tomorrow's home game. Once Again...I Like That!!!!
I wonder if Hall will be dancing in the end?

If the Raiders cannot beat Atlanta
in Oakland, then there is absolutely no hope. It is very disconcerting that once again the offense is pathetic. I figured that just by accident the team would score some TD’s this year, a long pass here or there plus solid running attack, but instead for the 5th straight year the offense is awful. I like Cable but I fear that if they lose today he is toast, not immediately of course but at the end of the year a new guy will be coming in and the merry go round will start all over again. It is easy to blame the defense for some of the problems but in reality the offense never helps them, never scores 30 or 40 pts. It is always the same, no TD’s in the first half, then a TD or two late in the game. That is not enough to win in this league on a regular basis.
+1
Cable is not the answer, and he already has a gig lined up w/ Knapp next year. We need a head coach that has been a HC before, and one that can handle Davis. Like Maruici.
Win, Lose, or Tie, Raiders til I die!
