ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Linebacker Kamerion Wimbley insists problems the Oakland Raiders had stopping the run last week against the Tennessee Titans are correctable.
They better be.
With Stephen Jackson and St. Louis coming to town for Oakland’s home opener, the Raiders won’t get much of a break as they try to avoid an 0-2 start for the fourth time in six seasons.
The most significant breakdown came late in the second quarter when Tennessee scored two touchdowns in a span of 1 minute, 53 seconds. Titans running back Chris Johnson provided the big blow with a 76-yard touchdown run after being shut down for most of the first half.
Oakland’s players and coaching staff said the mistakes were self-inflicted.
