Wow!!!!!!!! The Raider Defense gave McNabb and company a huge beat down!!! Six sacks from all directions, John Marshall did what has needed to be done for sometime, dial blitz packages from all sides, mask the defanse, and mix up the secondary coverage zone & man to man it kept the Eagles guessing. I was impressed/proud to see that this team did not curl up in a corner and write off the season, but instead took the poor play of the last few weeks to heart, showed that they have heart and pride. The offense played a stong game,  they have a ways to go but at least it is a step in the right direction. Zach Miller was on fire, the running game was solid, Jamarcus played well and did not hurt the team, he still has a long ways to go to be the trusted QB this team needs. The young group of wideouts have great speed, they can fly, but need to make the tough catches in clutch moments. This was a huge win for the Raiders and Raider Nation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, if nothing else, John Marshall proved that he knows how to scheme for an opposing offense.  His credentials as a defensive coordinator can no longer be questioned by any Raider fan.

The question now is: Are they accepted by his employer?

Al was probably spinning in his Depends when he saw all those blitzes and all that Cover 2 that Marshall dialed up, but he can't deny the results.

Has the lightbulb finally come on again in Al Davis' head?  Will he now let Marshall actually do the job he hired him to do...or will he demand that he go back to running defenses "the Raider way?"  Which means more to Al, winning or feeding his ego?

The next few games will tell the tale.
