Ontheair and two exhibition games during training camp, a number of position battles will be waged, none more intriguing than at running back. Del Rio has vowed to upgrade the NFL's 32nd- ranked rushing attack as the Raiders move on from an era dominated by the valiant but ineffective Dar- ren McFadden. Throughout the offsea- son, third-year back Lata- vius Murray, an intriguing power/speed runner who gained 424 yards and av- eraged 5.2 yards per carry in a late-season audition, looked the part of a lead back. The Raiders brought in Trent Richardson, the for- mer No. 3 pick of Cleveland and a washout in Indianap- olis, as well as Roy Helu Jr., the San Ramon Valley High product who has experi- ence as a third-down back with rushing and receiv- ing skills. Fullback Marcel Reece remains in the mix as a runner/receiver, and how the ballcarriers produce will help determine if Del Rio can bring the kind of physicality to the Raiders that he desires. Running back is hardly the only position to be set- tled before the Sept. 13 sea- son opener at home against the Cincinnati Bengals. Here's a quick look at the others. OFFENSIVE LINE From center Rodney Hudson through the left guard Gabe Jackson and left tackle Donald Penn, the Raiders can match up with anyone in the division. On the right side, Austin How- ard moves back outside to tackle to compete with Menelik Watson, with vet- eran Khalif Barnes hoping to hold off rookie Jon Feli- ciano at guard. DEFENSIVE LINE Free agent Dan Williams will anchor the middle along with second-year man Jus- tin "Jelly" Ellis. How the outside shakes out — nickel rusher Khalil Mack, rookie second-round pick Mario Edwards Jr. and veterans Justin Tuck and C.J. Wil- son are in the mix — bears watching. WIDE RECEIVER Top draft pick Amari Cooper and free agent acquisition Michael Crabtree appear set, while receivers such as Andre Holmes and Rod Streater, among the statistical lead- ers the past two seasons, instead fight for playing time and roster spots. TIGHT END Mychal Ri- vera has 96 receptions for 941 yards over the past two seasons, but rookie third- round pick Clive Walford made a big offseason im- pression. WEAK SIDE LINEBACKER The new regime has made no secret that it likes Ray- Ray Armstrong, and in- cumbent Sio Moore begins camp on the physically un- able to perform list follow- ing hip surgery. Raiders FROM PAGE 1 four-game suspension — or at least put it on hold un- til the case can be heard. The union asked Doty to throw out the suspension before Sept. 4; that would keep Brady from missing any practices before the Patriots' Sept. 10 season- opener against the Pitts- burgh Steelers. "We need to free him up for that first week," union attorney Jeffrey Kessler told The Associated Press. "We don't believe this dis- cipline can ever be sus- tained." The lawsuit argues that the NFL made up its rules as it went along and mis- applied the ones that were already on the books. In an interview with the AP, Kessler called it "offen- sive" that the league ac- cused Brady of destroying his cellphone to obstruct the investigation, a claim NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made in upholding the suspension on Tuesday. "We believe they high- lighted this issue solely to inflame the public, to sug- gest there is some secret in- formation being withheld, and that's wrong," Kessler told the AP. "It's an unfair character assassination of a player who has done nothing but be a model cit- izen for this league." Brady defended the cell- phone swap on Facebook. "To suggest that I de- stroyed a phone to avoid giving the NFL informa- tion it requested is com- pletely wrong," he said. "There is no 'smoking gun' and this controversy is manufactured to distract from the fact they have zero evidence of wrongdo- ing." Brady was suspended four games and the Patri- ots were docked $1 million and two draft picks in May for what the league found was a scheme to provide improperly inflated foot- balls for the AFC champi- onship game against the Indianapolis Colts. Inves- tigator Ted Wells zeroed in on two equipment manag- ers — one who called him- self "The Deflator" — and said Brady was "at least generally aware" of the il- legal deflation scheme. Kraft said the Patriots did nothing wrong, but the team fired the two equip- ment managers. He said he didn't fight the team's pen- alty because he thought the league would go easy on the star quarterback. Now, he said, he regrets his decision. "I truly believe that what I did in May ... would make it much easier for the league to exonerate Tom Brady. Unfortunately, I was wrong," Kraft said, apologizing to the team's fans and to Brady. "Six months removed from the AFC championship game, the league still has no hard evidence of anybody doing anything to tamper with the PSI levels of footballs." Brady FROM PAGE 1 Griffin and Nick Foles carry the biggest question marks into 2015. "By and large, it's pretty much as advertised," said longtime NFL power bro- ker Bill Polian, a 2015 NFL Hall of Fame inductee. "You've got two guys who have performed awfully well, two where you could say the grade is incom- plete, and one, Tannehill, who keeps getting better. That's about the way the draft typically goes." Polian wants to see a larger body of work before drawing final conclusions. But it's safe to say the Colts feel good about their much- scrutinized decision to take Luck over 2011 Heis- man Trophy winner Griffin with the top overall pick. Peyton Manning won one Super Bowl in Indianapo- lis, and his successor is so talented the Colts talk of multiple titles with Luck. "Since my first day in this building that has been the goal — to win the Su- per Bowl, and try to win another," Luck said. "Obvi- ously it's a lot easier said than done, but that's what we work for." Luck has started all 48 games, advancing Indy one step deeper in the play- offs each year. In 2014 he set a Colts single-season record with 4,761 yards passing and had 40 touch- down passes. Now he's sur- rounded by the most tal- ented offensive cast of his career. "Thus far Andrew is ev- erything that everybody thought he would be," Po- lian said. "And the sky's the limit." Luck, Griffin's career has been a roller-coaster in danger of derailing. Taken second overall, he was 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year as Washington won the NFC East, but he's since battled injuries and been benched by two coaches. It's unclear how much the athletic, freestyling Griffin will stay in the pocket this season. "You have got to be true to who you are," he said in June. "Right now I'm a 25-year-old young man who can do a lot of differ- ent things, so I'm not going to limit myself to just being a dropback passer." Passers FROM PAGE 1 feature seven consecutive series against clubs with winning records. No wonder Peavy lay in bed Tuesday night and told himself that Wednesday's rubber match against the Brewers was a must-win game. "I put this one on me," Peavy said. "We needed this ballgame. We needed to go on the road with a light heart, not thinking about losing a series at home to a team where (the Brewers) are in the stand- ings. It just would've been a bad taste. "We're the kind of team that's got to be invested on a daily basis. We can't just show up and win. We know what's ahead of us." They expect to forge ahead without a trade breaking up their current unit. GM Bobby Evans ac- knowledged that conver- sations and trade possi- bilities were widening as other teams jumped in as sellers Wednesday. But the Giants are not enter- taining offers that include starting players like Joe Panik, Matt Duffy or Bran- don Belt. "I don't see a part of our everyday lineup be- ing available," Evans said. "We have a team that we're proud of. We've been at a full complement for three games now (since Nori Aoki returned from the DL). To be in the position we're in shows a lot about these guys. It certainly gives you a lot of confi- dence. Not making a deal is an option." The Giants won on a day that they rested three regu- lars. Joe Panik (sore back) is expected to return to the lineup Friday at Texas. Buster Posey (likely to DH once in Texas) and Angel Pagan received a routine break. Duffy had a hand (two legs, actually) in the game's first run. He got a tremen- dous jump on Pence's double to left-center and third base coach Roberto Kelly waved him home as he scored from first base. Brandon Crawford hit a sacrifice fly and Ehire Adri- anza snuck a two-run sin- gle past a drawn-in infield as the Giants made it a five- run seventh inning. Peavy departed a score- less tie and lowered his ERA to 2.84 ERA in five starts since returning to the rotation July 3. He again proved himself as a durable presence, complet- ing six innings for the fifth consecutive start. "I do feel 100 percent," Peavy said. "I feel like I'm going to get stronger. I'm 200 pounds for the first time in awhile and that's good for me. I feel like I'm getting closer to where I need to be." He received two major assists from Pence.
