Under Kiffin, Gallery held his ground

There's plenty of statistical evidence pointing to the fact that the Oakland Raiders, as a team, improved under head coach Lane Kiffin in 2007.
The offense averaged nearly 50 more yards each game compared to 2006; the team improved its turnover differential by 12; and points per game increased by just over a touchdown.
Most illuminating: Robert Gallery allowed one sack in 16 starts on the offensive line.

Hmmm, I'm usually so busy laughing at this team, these stats kind of slipped by me.

They're turning the ball over less and the line play is improved. This team is slowly improving, and these are two very clear signs as to why.

This dude was so good at Iowa, he has the potential but I doubt he will ever be a great pro.

It also helps that they found a guy to run the ball consistently without giving it up.
