News, observations and reader questions about the Oakland Raiders

ALAMEDA – What Warren Sapp said Sunday about the Raiders being an undisciplined team is absolutely correct.

That’s why Lane Kiffin didn’t chide Sapp today in his press conference.

After all, the Raiders have 31 false starts, or nearly twice as many touchdown catches as Randy Moss.

I lost track of the holes running backs have had because the Raiders have been out of position on defense.

As Kiffin pointed out, Sapp doesn’t spout off just to do it.

He’s one of the smartest players around and simply said what we all see – the Raiders lack discipline.

So Kiffin didn't express any anger over what Sapp said. Other players are trying to downplay the truth.

The fact is until the Raiders play smarter football, they will continue to pick high in the draft.

In other news:

Tackle Cornell Green’s ankle injury is serious which means Paul McQuistan or Robert Gallery could start at right tackle if Green is out.

The Raiders have to decide if Michael Bush will be activated this week. Nnamdi Asomugha feels better after suffering what was believed to a concussion yesterday, but not deemed to be one today according to Asomugha.
