It’s well past time for the Raiders to stop messing around at the middle linebacker position. They finally appear to have someone who is a proven, productive leader at the position and they mustn’t squander that.
NaVorrow Bowman has been with the Raiders six games now. When he was released by the 49ers, the Raiders swiped him up quickly and made him the starter just three days after he arrived. That move has paid off.
Bowman has already put up 52 tackles for the Raiders, and has been the team’s leading tackler five out of his six games in Oakland.
