Al Davis strips coordinator's play-calling duties

[.GR]

It was widely reported Tuesday that Raiders interim head coach Tom Cable stripped offensive coordinator Greg Knapp of his play-calling duties. Not quite. Numerous Raiders sources confirmed that managing general partner Al Davis was the one who told Knapp he no longer would call plays this season. Cable was responsible for calling the plays in Sunday's 17-6 loss to the Panthers at the Coliseum. "Knapp just happened to be the next in line to be a scapegoat," said one source, speaking on the condition of anonymity but eager to clarify who stripped the play-calling duties from the offensive coordinator. Under Davis' orders, Knapp had been calling plays since shortly before head coach Lane Kiffin was dismissed Sept. 30.

A typical Al Davis move... He just likes to show how much authority he has over the team.

The Raiders will not operate anything close to how a normal team operates until Al Davis drops dead.

the team's making no progress so obviously he's just saying "Your not doing it right, he will."
