da Raiders' power running game

The NFL season opens with the new-look Raiders now led by Norv Turner. Here's a must-read paragraph:

Turner's offense is more traditional, more like the Raiders of the 1960s and '70s, with power running and more passes downfield, so there's more emphasis on fast receivers. He also plans to use more two-tight-end sets, with Teyo Johnson and Doug Jolley, because both are capable of catching passes downfield; Johnson, of course, played wide receiver in college.

Turner reasons that opposing teams won't be able to use defenses with extra defensive backs against a two-receiver, two-tight-end lineup, because defenses won't know before the snap whether Johnson or Jolley will be blocking for a run or be used as a receiver.

Two thoughts: one, it's OK with me if they don't force the Steelers to play a bunch of DBs. And two, I think Carolina has everyone around the league back on the power running game. Huzza for that.
