Kiffin: Roster isn’t set - Inside The Oakland Raiders - A look inside the world of the highly classified Oakland Raiders from the writers of ANG Newspapers

Thank God they're still looking!

Hate to burst some bubbles, but...

– Moves along the offensive line are restricted to players who have previous experience with a zone blocking scheme or are considered athletic enough to learn it quickly.

That leaves out veterans such as Willie Anderson, the former fixture at right tackle for the Bengals who declined a pay cut and was released.

“Some guys who guys area really good, like Willie, are going to struggle in this system, so there’s good things about having this system with our offensive line and some bad things,” Kiffin said. “One of the bad things is if guys haven’t been trained in this system, it’s hard, especially if they’re bigger guys.”

I hope Hall can rebound from the death of his father, that is tough. I don't know how close they were.

Thanks for the info...good to know that Kiff is lookin for another FB, and Walker switched his number. He won't be a victim of the #17 curse.

First off God bless to Hall and Huff family

As for the article I felt they were going to say Willie Anderson wasn't a good fit. Its still some decent olinemen out there with experience in the ZBS though

Walker is back at #84? Sweet, he just didn't look right in 17

# 84 is fine but # 17 and 18 is bad haha

Holland wore # 18 in camp and got hurt last year and you seen what happened to Drew Carter when he wore it.

I call it the Moss aftermath effect lol JK

Naw, Porter was an a$$hole but at least he could catch...BMW was and is a TERD. They should bring him in to see if he can play T.

I feel sorry for the people who spent 200 bucks for a 17 jersey.
