Oakland Raiders, Fix Your Run Defense!

I'm going to give you a solution to a problem that has been agonizing to fans for the past several seasons. Follow my steps and you'll be on the quick road to a successful run defense in 2010 Oakland Raiders.

The first thing that you need to do is get Richard Seymour back. Not hard. I think he wants a nice fat chunk of change, so give it to him. He is your best defensive lineman at this point and has said he wants to help turn it around. If he doesn't like your offer, then franchise him.

The next move should be to re-sign Kirk Morrison. He will eventually be our new strong side linebacker.

That leads me to item number three. Sign the free agent defensive tackle Vince Wilfork from the New England Patriots. I have a few things few things to add to this suggestion.

First of all, Bill Bellacheat thinks that he creates players in his system, and therefore finds it hard to make the owner pay them when there time comes to be paid, because he can just make a new one in their absence. Unless, of course, you are Tom "The Golden Boy" Brady, then your poop is golden.

Odds are, Vince will want a big contract similar to the one received by Albert Haynesworth, courtesy of the Washington Redskins last year. History with free agents and the Patriots suggest they will not accommodate his desires.

Al Davis should give it to him. I'm not saying it has to be as big as Haynesworth's, you could cut some years off the deal, but it should be lucrative enough to garner his interest over other teams. Reuniting him with Richard Seymour could be a great motivational factor for Wilfork.

He is a young guy who has been a force in the 3-4 alongside former teammate Richard Seymour. I would just love to see what the two players can do in the 4-3 when they have less people to block them and will force opponents to keep additional blockers in to help the offensive line.

Another good reason is because...
