Those of you familiar with my unofficial Raiderfans roster know how obsessive-compulsive I can be about Raider information.

In that spirit, I have begun something I've somewhat overzealously dubbed the "Raiders Research Project."

The project is a small, but growing, Web site that I'm filling with various Raiders information and trivia that may be of interest but otherwise difficult to find.

My hope is that this site can serve as a place to quickly answer some various questions frequently asked here by fans about the Raiders' history.

For instance, need to know who the Raiders' starting defensive ends in 1985 were? Or who started which games at quarterback during the injury-filled 2003 year? Or what happened to the players allocated to NFL Europe in 1999? That kind of information is now available with just a few clicks.

This is an ongoing project, and I have very little Web programming experience, so please bear with me. I hope someday to have things like cross-links between pages, but right now, both the information and technical skill are beyond my abilities. I'm a journalist, not a techie, I'm afraid.

Right now, the following information is available:

• A link to our unofficial Raiderfans.net roster.
• The Raider starting lineups since 1965.
• A game-by-game breakdown of Raider lineups since 2002.
• A list of Raiders allocated to NFL Europe since 1995.
• A list of Raider trades since 2002, including the infamous Gruden Trade.

I hope to include in the future:
• All-time Raider lineups.
• Raider statistics.
• And more...!

As with anything I do, feedback is welcome.

Enjoy!

Nice dude!

Thanks, everybody!

I've added another project - Raider coaches (head coaches and assistants) from 1970-present, based on start-of-season media guides.

(Yes, I included the Shanahan firing and John Fox resignation. But the Raiders hardly dump anybody at midseason.)

Enjoy. There's some amazing consistency throughout the '70s under Madden then the '80s under Flores.

Good idea. Another idea that may be useful is if you could list all of the Raiders draft picks each year going back as far as you can.

Wong wasn't allocated by the Raiders. He's a national player. I know he's been involved with the team in the past, but not as a roster player.

That's why.

Same reason a guy like Quarshie isn't on there from '05 - he joined the Raiders after the NFL Europe season and was assigned to them by the league.

It's cool - feedback always welcome. Does that explanation make sense?

Great minds think alike - it's something I'm planning for the future, but I'll be out of town for a bit and probably won't get to it until after.

It's an easy thing to get - it's in the media guide - but I'd like to supplement it with years they played for the Raiders or something, and that's going to require more cross-referencing.
