Training camp is almost here Raider and NFL fans. It's the place where positions are set and jobs are won. Some competitions last longer than others, and some even happen twice in a row. Some are surprising and won't be listed here. Some are barely even competitions. Either way, everyone ...Published on: 16th June, 2010
With no more media availability untill training camp, this is the third and final edition of the offseason power rankings. 1) Nnamdi Asomugha The guy continues to amaze me. All-pro, Check. Pro bowl?

The Oakland Raiders run defense has been horrible, atrocious, and whatever other unflattering terms you might like to call it. Looking back at some of last season's game tape, the biggest problems were centered around the right and left A gap. Plug in Henderson for Warren, McClain for Morrison, and ...Published on: 5th May, 2010
Here are the power rankings of all the players on the Raiders: Top 10 1. CB Nnamdi Asomugha The fantastic corner from Cal was great last season, and has been considered one of the league's best corners for years now.

No. 8 Overall: Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama Grade: A McClain was far-and-away the premier inside linebacker in the class. He's brilliant against the run, which is a big reason why he was selected.

Overall Grade: C+ Shane Lechler continues to prove why he's the best overall punter in the league. He isn't the best directional punter, but his length on his kicks makes him stand out. He can totally alter field position single handily. Sebastian Janikowski was excellent this season. Did he deserve a ...Published on: 16th February, 2010
Overall Defense: B- Richard Seymour was acquired a week before the season started. He was traded for a 1st round pick. He didn't play like a guy that had first round worth. I'm not saying he was awful, but he certainly didn't play great. That's where I'm coming from. He had ...Published on: 7th January, 2010
Should Tom Cable be retained? Well, the experts say no, but the final decision will be made by Al William Davis (just kidding on the middle name). Al Davis has a history of firing coaches after a year. Shocking, isn't it? Well, here are the Pros and Cons for keeping Tom ...
