CAMP OBJECTIVES:
Most of the fan and media focus in Raiders camp will
be on the quarterback position, where Aaron Brooks
(Saints) and second-year pro Andrew Walter are competing
to replace Kerry Collins. But new head coach Art Shell
is likely to be just as concerned about the defensive
side of the football, where the Raiders struggled
mightily last season. The system will switch full-time
to a 4-3 this season, and the linebacker position,
where rookie Thomas Howard (UTEP) is expected to step
into a lineup that includes second-year pro Kirk Morrison
on the strong side and the underrated Danny Clark
in the middle, will be a particular focal point. First-round
draft choice Michael Huff (Texas) will be expected
to lead a secondary that is now without Charles Woodson
(Packers), and should settle into the strong safety
slot. Elsewhere in the secondary, young corners Nnamdi
Asomugha and Fabian Washington will have to prove
that they can be consistent. Other than quarterback,
the biggest offensive concern is up front, where rookie
tackle Paul McQuistan (Weber State) has a chance to
join an already-young starting group.
