The atmosphere is changing in Oakland. I believe much of this success and change can be credited to Tom Cable and Hugh Jackson. Now lets get past the hype because I truely think that all the rumors of Al Davis taking control are garbage. The reason? Well its simple, Cable is a fighter. He knows what to take the distance and he also knows what to let go. Hence the new found chemistry in Oakland. I also believe Cable knows whats best for the Raiders no matter what was said previous. I dont know why this is so difficult for the NFL world to comprehend. Andy Reid did the exact same thing with VIck and Kolb. Reid got a little flack and it was over. Tom Cable does this and now Al Davis is running things again and its all doom and gloom for the Raiders right? Wrong. This is the haters doing what they do best. Even the Bay Area sport networks will not give the Raiders any credit. The bloggers and tweeters for the Raider Nation are working overtime to make sure fans get a little something. While the haters work overtime as well. Its funny you can hear a 15 minute segment about how the culture is changing for the 49ers after 1 ugly win against the Rams. Wow! But when it comes to Oakland, well we have to win consecutive Super Bowls and people will still hate its a fact.
So lets focus on what we know. We know the team is coming together more and more each week. There is a new star every week. Seymour and company are hurtin' folks and Darren McFadden well... I think Mcfadden has more skill than most of these backs they're giving all the credit to. I also think Jason Campbell is getting nice and comfortable with Jackson's offense. We also know that we havent seen play like this in many years. No one is going to be happy for us so we may as well get used to it. Tom Cable has brought the swag back to Oakland and people hate it! I must admit I had more than my fair share of doubts with Cable taking over but I'll be the first to admit Cable has done an excellent job this year of having a vision and letting nothing compromise it. Hugh Jackson has allowed Tom Cable to implement his total team plan by allowing him to focus on the entire team. And its working. So to my fellow Raider fans, we know what time it is and to all the many many haters keep on hating it seems to work for us. Bring it!
