To another year of turmoil with Authentic Tracy Mcgrady Jersey Al Davis and Lane Kiffin publicly bickering, Tom Cable steps in as the full-time head coach. He'll make an effort to bring that Raiders Authentic Michael Beasley Jersey "swagger" back to a franchise which has gone Cheap Boss Sunglasses right into a historical tailspin since losing the Super Bowl following the 2002 season. If there are any hiccups Cheap Louis Vuitton Sunglasses to begin the season, Jeff Garcia will be starting and Darren McFadden will hopefully be the workhorse we all know he can be because they make an effort to create a late run. The Raiders will probably average 20 points per game and allow 24 points against an agenda featuring five games against 2008 playoff teams.

Jeff Garcia, QB - Al Davis is going to do everything he can to make certain that his highly-paid, former number 1 overall choice, JaMarcus Russell gets the starting job, but it definitely should function as the veteran Garcia. In each of his last three seasons, Garcia has completed greater than 60% of his passes with double-digit touchdowns and single-digit interceptions. He might not be awe-inspiring or flashy, but he can play. I expect that head coach Tom Cable and company won't be able to last with Russell at night first 1 / 2 of the growing season. Garcia will probably finish with 1,800 -2000 passing yards, 12-14 touchdowns and five interceptions within the second half.

Biggest Strength:

Rushing Offense  The Raiders made another shrewd move signing veteran Lorenzo Neal to create the three-headed running attack of Darren McFadden, Justin Fargas and Michael Bush. Neal doesn't have to touch the ball to work; everywhere he goes, teams improve significantly running the ball. Without Neal or any semblance of the passing game, Oakland will finish about tenth in the NFL in rushing yards. McFadden Wholesale Prada Sunglasses can't miss any time and requires to become featured around he should be this season. The projections begin to see the Raiders' RB trio increase its production to 2200-2500 yards.

Most Exploitable Weakness:

Rushing Defense - Unfortunately for that Raiders, Oakland's rush defense has progressively gotten worse.  That's exceptionally harmful to a team that saw opponents run often to milk leads. Michael Beasley Jersey Furthermore, the Raiders cut sure-tackling safety Gibril Wilson why we still do not know. Much-discussed second round pick Michael Mitchell will need to step up for Wilson. All of those other back seven on defense is stuffed with fast, athletic, yet undersized players who're far better in pass coverage than in stopping the run.

Possible Fantasy Sleeper:

Darren McFadden, RB - McFadden is really a star in the Wholesale Ferragamo Sunglasses making and this should be his year. He showed last season that he is definitely an effective pass-catcher and should soon be trusted with every-down duties. Justin Fargas and Michael Bush should not be significant roadblocks, yet health may be. My projection, McFadden gains 1,300 yards and 7-8 touchdowns.   His production is a good example to rank him in front of DeAngelo Williams, Ryan Grant, Reggie Bush Coach Sunglasses Replica and others.

Most significant Game:

Cincinnati Bengals (Week 11) - From week 6-11 the Raiders have a stretch of four out of five games in your own home. This game is the last game of a winnable part of the schedule. After facing the Bengals, the Raiders go to Dallas on short rest for Thanksgiving, then at Pittsburgh and home against Washington. A win over Cincinnati could be big for any team that requires as many victories before that likely losing streak.
