How about those 6-4 Miami Dolphins?

Posted by Bill Jempty · Published: November 16, 2008 · Comments (0)

The fins beat the Oakland Raiders 17-15 this afternoon. That puts Miami at 6-4 for the 2008 season. Pretty incredible after the 1-15 debacle of last year. I'm still a skeptic about the rest of the 08 season. Miami has won the last two weeks by a combined total of... [Full Story]

Raiders draft and the promising offensive line.

Posted by · Published: April 15, 2007 · Comments (1)

The common perception is Oakland should shy away from drafting QB JaMarcus Russell because Russell is an immobile quarterback, and the Raiders line will not be able to protect the developing quarterback.
