Last week in practice, Oakland Raiders interim head coach Tom Cable had his players practice touchdown celebrations. Apparently he thinks practicing giving out high fives and patting each other on the rear would be more beneficial than working on the Raiders woeful passing, running, blocking, tackling, and defense. Did it work? Well let’s see – the Raiders were playing the mediocre Atlanta Falcons this week, who came into the game having given up more points than they scored. In the first half Oakland racked up -3 yards of total offense, and Atlanta jumped out to a 24-0 lead. In the second half Atalanta decided to play nice and do nothing but run the ball up the middle to avoid running up the score. For the game Oakland managed a 77 yards of total offense, no points at all, had the ball for only 15 minutes all game (compared with 45 for the Falcons), and had an average of less than 1 yard per completed pass.

Perhaps Tom Cable wants out of Oakland?
