We will stall, stall and stall if Kiffin doesnt work on our passing game. You have to play other teams against their weakness. I think Kiffin is messing up sticking with the running game when we have looked pathetic the last 2 weeks. Raider fans we are in for a long season if our passing game doesnt click

You think Kiffin only runs running plays in practice? Of course he works on passing but we don't have the personnel to throw in 3rd and long situations regularly I mean we have almost 10 sacks from our Tackles with all of the running we do!

We'll be a run first team until we have receivers who can run crisp routes and catch passes, a line that can protect and a QB that can read defenses. Since we don't have those we'll pound the rock and try not to lose by 20 every week. We don't have talent and the sooner people realize that our starters aren't starting many other places then they'll appreciate how much blood Kiffin is getting from stone.

We have been in a position to win each and every game we have played this year... Only When we surround ourselves with the personnel who can help us win. Only when We acquire better players who can make the plays that mean the difference of winning and losing... THEN we will win those games that we are in... THAT is all that Kiffin and his staff have done this year... We are close... very close... We need to recognize this as fans...

Our organization has dug a deep hole for us after 2002... We have improved dramatically... Only a few pieces are needed to bring this team back... Much fewer than I actually thought prior to this season... AM I satisfied Hell no... I want to turn this around and win right now... AM I questioning our staff? hell no... We are heading into the right direction... Its a matter of time and maybe just a handful of players away...

If teams load up the box to stop the run against us ...

... then we've got 'em right where we want 'em!

The play-action pass has been working big-time for us. That 2-play, 80-yards for a TD drive, those lazer shots by Daunte, were off of the play-action.

Of course, you have to try and run the ball first. It appears that the opposition has bought into it. If so, Kiffin has already accomplished that - teams are stacking against the run.

And with more time for this team's chemistry to mesh - because there are a lot of new pieces, and old pieces in new places - I think wins will start to follow.

our offense should open up with mccown, but it doesnt guarantee success.
