We are excited about Jon Ritchie and his physical presence. We are not overlooking Chad Levitt's progress in the offseason. We have versatility and this position should be a strength. For the last seven years it always seemed like the Raiders faded in the final period and been unable to hold leads. Last year that became a glaring deficiency.
Conditioning is a big part of that.
Mental and physical. We are trying to put our players in difficult situations on the practice field that hopefully resembles the crunch-time situations late in games. Desmond Howard is obviously a premier threat as a return man. We are organizing specific packages for him as a receiver in our offensive sets. Nothing was wrong with Randy Moss in my opinion.
