Oakland Raiders That Need a Shot

After looking like a competitive team against the New England Patriots in Week 3, the Oakland Raiders went back to being themselves in England. So the end has come for head coach Dennis Allen, who actually looked like he had a game plan to start things off. But as usual, Allen had no adjustments once the Dolphins hit back as the game continued to get worse as it went on.

The Raiders gave up 157 yards rushing in the game and inside linebacker Miles Burris went back to being Miles Burris. He actually ran in circles until finally finding the ball and jumping on the pile to add another assist to his tackle stats. Dan Marino was an honorary captain for the Dolphins but I thought he slipped into Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill’s uniform for the game.

And even though he had a touchdown in the game, Raiders receiver Andre Holmes proved he was no better than inactive Denarius Moore. He let a pass go right through his hands right and into a waiting Dolphins defenders’ hands for an interception. So knowing that the Raiders will not contend this year, I just looking at players and found some I’m interested in for the future.
