Ya... I think running teams are going to eat the Raiders alive this year... which makes the Chiefs and Broncos (let's face it, Kyle Orton isn't going to beat anyone with his head or his arm) dangerous. Once again, the bright spot is the secondary and linebackers. The DL is terrible. I was hoping the Raiders would draft Baji or whatever his name is.
Offensively, we'll see. The Raiders can run the ball... I think Garcia is a better choice because he's simply smarter than Russell and can get the ball out faster. If Skeletor would butt out, the Raiders could run a west coast offense like they did with Gannon under Chucky and concentrate on Miller as their primary receiver and pound the ball. But Skeletor still thinks it's the 1970s and there has to be a 40+ yard attempt every set of downs.
8-8 would be a dream. I think 7-9 is possible. Realistically, I don't know... 6-10? Best season since 2002. Ugh.
