Oakland's Opponents: San Diego 101

For the San Diego Chargers, it will be Football 101 for them...LT is no longer the focal point for the club.

For the Raiders fans, it has to be a breath of fresh air, considering how many ways the Chargers' running game has killed them, over and over.

WIth LT's leaving, it will be interesting to see how the Chargers work without him, although last year they did fair, having to win the game in the last minute against Oakland in Week One. And granted, it was due to Darren Sproles, not LT's late game heroics.

For San DIego, it becomes the question if a rookie draft pick can step up and contribute right away, or if the San Diego passing game will have to step up even more, as the team's slow shift in plans is ready for this.

In Oakland, drafting investment players who can both pay off now, like Rolando McClain or in the future, like Bruce Campbell, Oakland hopefullly has addressed the need to stop the run. I'm just hoping McClain got a clip of Sproles' run up the middle last year that won the game.

Because if Oakland stops Sproles...the Raiders win.
