AROUND THE LEAGUE

When it comes to the Raiders, the postseason is essentially the green flag for another coaching search. Interim coach Tom Cable led the Raiders to impressive victories in the final two games of the season -- the first time that has happened since they won the AFC championship in 2002. Reports are circulating about coaches owner Al Davis is reportedly interested in hiring.

--LB Thomas Howard wasn't sure what the future holds for defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, but he figured the last two games can't hurt him, wherever he winds up. Ryan's five-year contract is up, and although the Raiders were ranked 31st in the league, allowing 159.7 yards per game on the ground, they played well the final two games in wins over Houston and Tampa Bay. "Rob was jut glad the way we finished, not only representing ourselves, but him as well. He was proud of us," Howard said.

The last three games of the season gave the Raiders two viable candidates to be front-line wide receivers, Johnnie Lee Higgins and Chaz Schilens, although overall the position group was the least productive of the NFL. Defensively, the Raiders gave up too much ground up the middle against the run. Tommy Kelly's contract, which called for $18,125,000 in guaranteed money, makes him virtually untouchable, but Gerard Warren and Terdell Sands will be looked at closely.
