ALAMEDA, Calif. -- What’s that about familiarity breeding contempt?
As the Oakland Raiders from Super Bowl XXXVII know all too well, having a former coach on the other sideline could spell disaster, as they saw in the form of Jon Gruden and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Will that impact this year’s Raiders team as it heads to Denver this weekend to face not only former offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave, who is now Denver’s QB coach, but also right tackle Menelik Watson? Might the Raiders have to change their calls against the Broncos with both having been in Oakland as recently as last year?
