Oakland Raiders: Some Dos and Don’ts for the 2011 Season

The Rich Eisen is admittedly wasting time with an entertaining but redundant seven-minute segment of detailed analysis on Mark Sanchez's sandwich preferences, you know material is a little thin.

The growing popularity of sports writing sites such as B/R has given everyone with an opinion, two fingers and a keyboard a forum to voice their thoughts. Since most people—myself heavily included— think their thoughts are profound and need to be shared, the Internet sports writing niche has exploded. 

Couple a zillion new writers with a lack of new, fresh material to write about and nary a stone has been left unturned when it comes to speculating on the NFL these days. 

The Raiders are no exception; when Bronco fans are writing articles about where Nnamdi Asomugha might end up, you know things are getting out of control. We need tangible football, and soon.

I have some ideas about what the Raiders should and should not do in the upcoming season. Some may surprise you.
