Move from Watson to Newhouse at RT pays off for Raiders

The Oakland Raiders' decision to move on from former second-round pick Menelik Watson to newcomer Marshall Newhouse has appeared to pay off early this season.

Although Newhouse is in for his toughest test yet on Sunday when the Raiders (2-1) travel to Denver (2-1) and Newhouse will be matched up often against one of the game's most feared pass rushers in Von Miller.

"I love facing the best," Newhouse said Tuesday. "That's what this league is all about, just testing your mettle and seeing what you're made of. I'm looking forward to it."

Newhouse is also looking forward to getting rid of the bad taste from last week's 27-10 loss to Washington.
