LB Quentin Groves The Oakland Raiders have now completed two days of practice entailing four separate practice sessions. They haven't gone full go yet, but they have the intensity of a team that plans on turning things around. In the afternoon session, Darrius Heyward-Bey showed his improved ability to catch, and lashed out in frustration when he botched one. In a surprise to no one, Zach Miller has been the best receiver in camp thus far. Jason Campbell has learned what all the recent Raider quarterbacks know,when in a pinch throw the ball to Zach. He will come down with it and make the play. If the other receivers can step up their game and take the coverage off of Miller, then he should be looking at a Pro Bowl caliber season. Too often in the recent seasons he was the subject of double or even triple coverage, because everyone knew he was the only real target.

The Raiders looked like an NFL team when Bruce Gradkowski led them on the field. The Raiders now have Jason Campbell, who is a much more experienced and talented quarterback. We really don't know how good Campbell can be because he wasn't given the opportunity to play in an offense that fits his style. The Raiders offense is built for Campbell's talents and he will have the opportunity to prove himself. He is still a young guy who hasn't entered his prime, but he is a veteran that knows how to be a professional quarterback. Could Campbell be another Rich Gannon? Either way he is better than what Oakland had last year.

The Raiders receiver situation last year was uglier than Lindsay Lohan's new lover and cell mate. Their best receiver didn't play until Week 10 and they started two rookies who were very inconsistent and sometimes invisible. That experience will be valuable and their offseason work ethic will make them better. It's very debatable whether the Raiders have a true No. 1 receiver. At the very worst, they have a couple solid No. 2s, which is better than what they had last year. Also an accurate quarterback should make life easier for them.
