We may have some very talented skill players, but do not forget that this game is Won and Lost in the trenches! The Raiders are still weak in those areas and even though I want to see an 8-8 season or better, I am not going to bank on it. This team needs to improve along the O line and the D line before they are going to be contenders. Kwame, Gallery, Wade, Carlisle, Green or McQ is not a solid starting 5.
Burgess, Kelly, Warren/Sands, Richardson/Edwards is far from a great starting 4 for the D.
The position players are in place and it seems that Al as per usual has built this team from the skill players down. They are in place, let them gain experience, learn the system. Keep the coaching staff in tact and attack the trenches hard next free agency/draft and this team will be well on the way.
