The Oakland Raiders sure did struggle but still found a way to pick up a victory in a 16-14 win over the St. Louis Rams.
The Raiders were expected to be significantly better this year, but they sure haven’t shown any improvement in the first two games.
Quarterback Jason Campbell was supposed to be a big upgrade, but he was so bad that Tom Cable yanked him in favor of Bruce Gradkowski.

Oakland Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha is expected to roam wherever he wants this year.
After lining up exclusively on the right side, the Raiders will now put the cornerback on the other team’s best receiver.
Asomugha is excited about the opportunity to go up against the NFL’s best wideouts each week.
