I think that it comes down to what the other guys are going to be able to do as far as the cornerback position is concerned. If one of those guys can take over that role and make the plays that need to be made at corner . . . with Nick Collins leaving, [and if] they need me to play safety, I’m not opposed to that. But I think that we have to make sure that cornerback position is going to be solidified and we’re comfortable with who is going to be out there at the corner.

Last year, the way it went down and how poorly defensively we played, it was evident that we needed some extra push. So I was very excited.

This is good news. Sort of puts to rest the troubled image Woody had when he played out in Oakland.

Woodson and McCarthy make an unlikely marriage, the cornerback and the coach he often clashed with. Woodson described their private talks that led to an understanding, along with a healthy amount in fines. Asked what caused the fines, Woodson responded in a single word, “Everything.”

Charles Woodson, Oakland's star cornerback, was embarrassed by his team's 23-13 loss to the Lions on Sunday and said Raiders Coach Bill Callahan had lost his team.

''It's no secret at this point,'' Woodson said.

Oakland (2-6) has lost four straight and looks nothing like the team that lost to Tampa Bay in last season's Super Bowl. The Raiders are off to their worst start since 1964, when they were 1-7-1.

Woodson said the Raiders were ''falling apart'' because Callahan was too headstrong.

I remember some saying he was over the hill, past his prime and couldn't finish a season. I hadn't heard (that i remember) that he was cancerous or anything. Everyone on the Raiders disliked Bill Callahan, lol. I bet RaiderPride can attest to that or tell me I'm wrong, lol.
