Raiders | Woodson Cleared To Play - posted at KFFL (http://nfl.kffl.com)
17:17 PT: Updating previous reports, the Associated Press reports Oakland Raiders CB Charles Woodson (leg) has been medically cleared to play this weekend. He has said there is no way he will miss this game.

This is the boost we needed. We are getting our guys back exactally when we need them the most...for the last three games!

Well I am hoping he is a little rusty early in the game.
Jets are going to need to jump out there in this game.

Is there any update on Kennedy.
Haven't watched many Raider games this year so don't know much about Walker as his back up.
If Williams is out also you have Jolley as a back up and he seems good catching on the short routes but how is he as a blocking TE.

I see a good game this week with special teams and field position playing a big part.

Kennedy will be ready for the game and Langston Walker is a solid backup. As for Jolley, he's not just good catching, he's great catching the ball. His blocking isn't too bad at all in fact it has been improving steadily. What you need to worry mostly about Jolley is his catch and run ability. He's very good. However, on short yardage situations you'll see Walker or Stinchcomb in as the blocking TE if Williams can't make it. Walker has been very effective as a blocking TE.

Walker easily was the biggest surprise of the draft. Many scoffed when we picked him in the second round and he was slated to be a project but he has already started at both tackle positions this year and will most likely will be playing for a starting position next season. The guy is a physical specimen and amazingly quick for a guy his size.

I had no doubts that #24 would play. Seeing how James recovered so fast with the same injury and surgery I knew Woodson would follow suit. Jet WR have some good breakaway speed so I'm sure they'll test Oakland early. I'm hoping the Jets win the toss and Raiders can hold them to a 3 and out to set the tone maybe even a turnover early in the first or second series to shake Chad up a little.

All the Raiders have to do is stop the run, which should be much easier coming off a bye week. Stopping the run will make the Jets one-dimensional and even Penny won't be able to pull a victory out his ass.

I like that. If I remember correctly the YETS were 3 and out in their first series against us earlier this year. Curtis who???

Chad needs Romo, Barton, and assorted db's, safties blitzing his ass all day, just keep hitting him he'll get the message.

The Jets clearly are NOT one dimensional, and the Raiders are going to find it tough to stop the run with our OL fully healthy and solid. You're also forgetting our special teams, which is the best in the league. Our passing game is the most accurate, and error free... You're really going to need Woodson, he's the last person to intercept a Chad pass, and it was a desperation pass too. So No kudos there. 8)

[RaiderBlitz]

Waterboy Welcome to the board. Just as Darth said Jolly is very good and think he'll be one the top TE in the league. It is the quality of play we are getting from Walker, Harris, and so many other that makes me fell very good about Sunday and next year,

I wouldn't say the yets are one demensional but I do think you depend more on the run for balance and to run your offense. Healthy O line or not we can stop your run and throw off your offense. I will give you that your special teams are a concern along with the play of ours. It will be a hell of a warm game for the AFC championship game.

One player being out shouldn't make that much of a difference. You still had the other 4 OLine starters in there. The Raiders were without their top 3 CB's for over a month including the Jets game. If nothing else it shows the lack of depth that Jets have on that Oline if losing Szott is that big a deal to completely throw off your running game. The Raiders have used 3 backups as starters this year on their Oline (Walker, Stinchcomb and Badger) and barely missed a beat. Proof #1 why the Raiders, not the Jets have the best Oline in the NFL.
