Oakland Raiders: In and Out, Up and Down Analysis

Here we go again, looking in and out, up and down, through the data to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the Oakland Raiders and our opponent, the Cleveland Browns.

The second chart shows the teams to be almost coincident in performance, in the categories of wins, losses, ties, and in the win-loss ratio.

The difference in performance may be totally determined by a team's knowledge, skill and intuition to be reactive and proactive in grabbing hold to victories.

There should be a heightened level of determination because of the recent injuries incurred by the Raiders quarterbacks.

We usually look in and out at the players, but we need to study all of those who are stakeholders in the success of the Oakland Raiders franchise.

Here is a list of people we need to get to know, to determine the impact they make on the day-to-day decisions of the team, and the ups and downs of the performance of the Oakland Raiders on the playing field:

Front Office Managing General Partner – Al Davis Chief Executive – Amy Trask Senior Executive – John Herrera Pro Player Personnel – Keith Rowen Salary Cap Administrator – Tom Delaney Director of College Scouting – Jon Kingdon Head Coaches Head Coach – Tom Cable Offensive Coaches Passing Game Coordinator – Ted Tollner Quarterbacks – Paul Hackett Running Backs – Kelly Skipper Wide Receivers – Sanjay Lal Tight Ends – Adam Henry Offensive Line – Jim Michalczik Assistant Offensive Line – Chris Morgan Offensive Quality Control – Rich Scangarello

Defensive Coaches Defensive Coordinator – John Marshall Defensive Line – Dwaine Board Linebackers – Mike Haluchak Defensive Backs – Lionel Washington Assistant Defensive Backs – Willie Brown Defensive Quality Control – Bert Leone Special Teams Coaches Special Teams Coordinator – John Fassel Assistant Special Teams – Aaron Pelch Strength and Conditioning Strength and Conditioning – Brad Roll

So as the new year begins, a new strategy will be enacted. The Raider Nation is going to gear up and focus, not only on the performance on the playing field, but on all of the coaches who teach, train, and counsel the Oakland Raiders.

I wouldn't be surprised if the folks look at us as Muppets, from the Henson series. Nevertheless, we have every right to look "in and out, up and down" at the performance of the team on the playing field and on the team in the plush offices at the Raiders headquarters.

Finally, let's usher in an age of accountability for all stakeholders of the Oakland Raiders franchise. We are going to examine the franchise "in and out, up and down" and we will charge each and every stakeholder to give us excellence at every level of the organization, in and out, and up and down.

Have I made my point?
