Chaz Schilens News

Not long after he was a fifth-round draft pick in 2000 out of Texas A&M, Shane Lechler went directly to the NFL record book for a little research.

With the Raiders coming off their bye week, there have been a few bits and pieces of news that I have missed whilst getting a few days to myself.

As far as Raiders rivals go, the Chiefs have become unrecognizable. Since last year alone, there's no Jared Allen to block, no Tony Gonzalez to cover, no Priest Holmes to tackle ... and now no to chase.

Brought in for his breakaway speed that Oakland hoped would revive the vertical passing game, Heyward-Bey has only five catches for 74 yards and no touchdowns in his first eight games as a pro.

Somebody give "Ol' Grigs" a call, I think we could all use an "It's RAAAIIIIIDDDDERRRRSS WEEK," right about now.

Oakland Raiders Darren McFadden, #20, fumbles the ball after being hit by Denver Broncos D.J. Williams, #55, in the third quarter of their game on Sunday, Sept.

Wide receiver Chaz Schilens is scheduled to play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Oakland Raiders are finally healthy, at least on offense. Running back Darren McFadden, wide receiver Chaz Schilens, left guard Robert Gallery and right tackle Cornell Green returned to practice Monday and are expected to play against the Kansas City Chiefs this week.

Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson Here is a look at the Raiders and what needs to be done after the break: Record: 2-6 Reason they are in their current state: The Raiders have not played well enough to win on both sides of the ball in most of their games.

Show Notes: At San Diego recap Raider News: In just his second game, Crabtree continued to overshadow Oakland receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey on Sunday with six catches for 81 yards against Indianapolis.

Darren McFadden hasn't been spotted since knee surgery Oct. 5. There hasn't been a single Justin Fargas sighting in the end zone.

He intercepted three passes in the first two games, and he wasn't even the starter.

Coach Tom Cable said Wednesday that he has spoken with Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis about allegations that Cable has a history of violent behavior toward women.

Coach Cable expects that most of the Raiders will be out of sick bay when they face the Chiefs after the bye.

It's hard to know where to start with the Raiders, so we'll just go with this: Like the Chiefs, who served as the Chargers' punching bag Sunday, Oakland isn't any good.

Just when the Raiders finally stopped the run, their pass defense sprung a leak.

The Raiders ended the first half of their season Sunday in much the same manner as it started: with coach Tom Cable facing allegations of physical abuse, quarterback JaMarcus Russell struggling and the San Diego Chargers walking off the field with yet another victory against them.

Greetings from the "Q"...a gorgeous day as the Raiders attempt to snap a 12-game losing streak to the Bolts, though there is a dark cloud hanging over Silver and Blackdom.

There's welcome news for Raiders fans frustrated with the toothless performance of Oakland 's three-headed rushing attack.

The bad news is if the Raiders have yet to master the most Pop Warner League of functions, umm, wow.
