I realize they are called the ‘OAKLAND’ Raiders, and I feel for the true fans there, but let’s face it, everybody’s bailing on ‘em cuz they are losing. And to be honest, the Raiders don’t deserve sell outs with the way things have been run of late.

I guess the answer is, the Raiders start WINNING andeverything is fine. Now there’s a concept.

I didn’t know about the new stadium. I live in the midwest.

Thanks for the info thought. Interesting.

As far as what is the Raiders true home, it doesn’t appear that when the Raiders get 30,000 fans for a football game AT THEIR HOME, that they are getting all this support, so chill out on the pompass “OAKLAND IS THE RAIDERS HOME’ crap.

For those blaming Cable and the ZBS for lack of production, just how much do you know about the ZBS anyway? I knew only the basics, so I looked up info online and found this great breakdown: http://www.rockytoptalk.com/2009/3/31/815874/zone-blocking-tutorial-inside-zone

One thing that it calls out is that the ZBS requires a certain type of RB. Fact is, none of the 3 Raiders RBs are a great fit, but Fargas is probably the best. That would explain why Cable uses him as the starter. That, and he’s also the best pass blocker. They key is that the RB must be decisive, make one quick read, and then plow towards that decision whether the hole is there at the time they commit or not. DMac lacks the cutback ability and Bush so far is too hesitant and won’t commit himself into traffic.

NFL teams that exclusively run the ZBS are Oakland, Washington, Green Bay, Carolina and Houston. How did some of the non-Raiders offenses with the ZBS do?

Houston: #6 passing, #30 rushing, #6 overall
Green Bay: #5 passing, #11 rushing, #9 overall
Carolina: #2 rushing, #17t rushing, #18 overall
Washington: #12 passing, #29 rushing, #19 overall

* all ranks based on average per play, not total yards, to give a better feel for effectiveness of system

BTW — the much maligned Raiders rushing game was #19 overall in yards per attempt, which is just under average. Not bad for a team that had a so-called horrible run blocking scheme, no passing threat for more than half the season, horrendous play calling and an offensive line that most here think needs at least 2 if not 3 of the players replaced.

Maybe, just maybe, the ZBS is the only reason that they were as successful as they were.

The o-line sucks because the players suck… there are plenty of teams who use the zbs and are successful.

Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills are the first teams it will try to relocate.

Majestic Realty Co. managing partner John Semcken said the company is still considering at least seven franchises for a new stadium some 25 miles east of Los Angeles.

They also include the San Francisco 49ers, San Diego Chargers, Minnesota Vikings, St. Louis Rams and Oakland Raiders.

I wish the Raiders would move back to LA. At least they might get some support, and Al would make more money that he could spend on the team.

All LA has to do is guarantee to build a new stadium or upgrade the Coliseum and Al could do it.
