2010 Oakland Raiders Schedule

2009 Review:

It seems as though there is always something happening in Oakland and most of the time it is drama especially when Al Davis is at the helm. The silver and black are looking to make big moves in the NFL and it all began when they brought on 5-time pro bowler Richard Seymour from the Patriots, but sometimes even good moves cannot help just plain bad teams. With the loss to Dallas in November the Raiders sealed their 7 th losing season in a row. The struggles were everywhere on the field and off the field, from coach Tom Cable’s alleged assault on another coach, to JaMarcus Russell’s being unhappy and the list goes on and on. For the Raiders to get back to the glory days (which seem like very long ago) they must focus on what they have and put veterans around the young talent if they look to win in 2010. The offense has good receivers but they must have a solid leader for the young pass catchers and the running backs are solid if Darren McFadden can take more of a role in the Raiders offense they could be a force in 2010. They must decide if JaMarcus Russell is worth having around and if he is not get him out of town, maybe it is time you admit you made a mistake picking this kid and you and he both move on.

2010 Preview:

The Raiders will try to improve on the 5-11 record from 2009, and I believe the pick up of veteran quarterback Jason Campbell can be the key. Like him or not Jason Campbell has proven himself to be a solid quarterback in the NFL, fact is if you give him time he can make things happen for you. With Darren McFadden running the ball the Raiders could have a pretty good backfield tandem, but they must utilize the young talent they have at wide receiver and Zach Miller must be the big target in the middle. On defense of course they have Richard Seymour to anchor the defense but in the draft they had a smart pick in draft a linebacker from Alabama Rolando McClain, he is a solid LB that can not only defend over the middle but can be a key in stopping the run. The Raiders have a lot of young talent but I do not think they are quite ready to make the next step give them a couple of years, with some key signings and key draft picks they can make waves.

2010 Prediction:

Oakland Raiders: 7-9 (3rd place in AFC West)
