472 5310 It definitely wasn't the prettiest of games but a win is a win. We were able to come out with the win this time, but we can't play like that and expect to win. We got a lot of work to. A lot of work. I think what it comes down to is that we just need to start faster on offense. <o:p></o:p>  We played hard, but we weren't together on our assignments early on. Luckily we came back this time but we can't keep doing that.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> We owe this game to Michael Huff. He was huge. His first interception came towards the end of the first half when the Chiefs were getting ready to score. He pulled out a big turnover in the red zone and instead of them getting seven points we marched down the field and were able to get three. That was a huge momentum swing. It was probably the key to winning that game. It was a total momentum killer for them too. <o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> He deflected a couple passes and put on some big hits too. If I had a game ball to give I would give it to him.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> We couldn't get anything going on the ground or through the air, but we knew it would be a tough game. Nobody in this league is good enough to just go out there and do what they want to by showing up. You have to work. We just need to keep working.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> JaMarcus had a tough game in terms of his numbers, but one thing he showed me is that he is poised. He showed that when he's behind in the 4th quarter that he can lead his team. During the game-winning drive he threw some of his best passes as a Raider.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> It would be unbelievable to start the year 2-1 in the division. The fact that we have a chance to do that makes us even hungrier. We have to work on starting faster in practice this week. Start fast and stay up tempo. Make the other team get stuck in 3rd and long situations instead of us.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Mario Henderson is an offensive lineman with the Oakland Raiders.
