Raiders coach finds right words to inspire rebuilt roster

By all accounts - from players, coaches, media, fans, Napa Valley Marriott employees - the Raiders have had a very nice first seven days of training camp. The team is getting better every day, and many players are pointing to last week - and jumping off on the right foot with head coach Dennis Allen's opening speech of camp. "Coach Allen's speech in the first team meeting gave me chills," left tackle Donald Penn said. Neither Penn nor Allen will reveal what the coach said, but Allen says that he wanted to "create the vision for this football team." The team's itinerary for this season was laid out, according to players, for all 16 regular-season games, the playoffs and the Super Bowl. After two 4-12 seasons, Allen and general manager Reggie McKenzie think the team is on schedule in Year 3 of new management's renovation project. Defensive end Justin Tuck missed Friday's practice with a minor groin injury, and seventh-round pick Shelby Harris had a sack and made some nice plays in his place.
