Raiders get a first down, burn Cooper, burn Zombo on a DPI, and score. That's a 14 point turnaround. That will kill you in the playoffs. Playing stupid is the hallmark of the FADE. As a fat jolly guy once said around here... ELIMINATE BAD FOOTBALL. The difference between that fat jolly guy and the new fat jolly guy on the sideline is the new fat jolly guy has a buddy named Dorsey who WILL NOT tolerate crap like this. Dorsey's only had one year to work on personnel. You can't fix stupid, and he knows that. Look for KenDICK Lewis to be elsewhere next season. Hell, he might make a good Raider!

I won't defend Lewis up to the point that I think he is good, but I don't think he went Dwayme Rudd on that play. From what I saw in the replay he unstrapped his helmet and because the damn thing is on so loosly, it bounced off his head. It didn't seem to me that he intentionally took his helmet off, which is why the rule is assinine in the first place.
Now is was still stupid to run off like that and even unstrap your helmet, but he didn't remove it, it bounced off.
