Ontheair pany in the old-man bri- gade on Sunday when the Raiders (2-2) host Denver (4-0). Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning also en- tered the NFL in the 1998 draft class — picked first, three spots ahead of Wood- son — and is still playing at a high level. The only other player remaining from that draft class is quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who also started last week. But only Woodson is doing it at a po- sition where he has to dole out hits and run all around the field. "It's definitely some- thing we all look at," team- mate Aldon Smith said. "I'm 26 and I feel like I can't complain about cer- tain things because he's do- ing it and he's been doing it for a while and he does it at a high level. It makes you want to step up and play hard." Woodson is more than just an inspirational leader for the Raiders. He is also a major contributor. Despite the injury late in Week 1, Woodson has played 96 percent of the defensive snaps, second on the team to Malcolm Smith. He has two intercep- tions, sealing a Week 3 win in Cleveland with one and setting up a late, go-ahead score last week in Chicago with the 62nd of his career. The Raiders ended up los- ing that game when the Bears kicked a late field goal. Only Darrell Green and Clay Matthews Sr. have intercepted passes at an older age than Woodson. "When I was 39, I was the head coach at that time, my first year," Raid- ers coach Jack Del Rio said. "I thought I could still do it, but he's doing it. It's pretty impressive to see what he's done." Like Woodson, Manning is not quite the same player he was in his prime but he is still quite successful. He has the Broncos at the top of the AFC West once again and is growing more com- fortable by the week in coach Gary Kubiak's of- fense. "We're still hanging in there," Manning said. "Woodson has had two, what really should have been, game-saving inter- ceptions. It should have probably helped them win the Chicago game and it definitely helped them seal the Cleveland game. He's making a lot of plays. He's the leader of that de- fense back there. It's a real credit to him to be playing at a high level like he is." For all that Woodson has accomplished with a Su- per Bowl title, an AP De- fensive Player of the Year, three first-team All Pro se- lections and 13 defensive touchdowns, there is at least one thing missing. Woodson has never in- tercepted a pass from Man- ning, the player he beat out for the Heisman Tro- phy in 1997. Woodson has intercepted passes from 40 quarterbacks, but has none in eight career meet- ings against Manning. "I don't want to put too much on it about being Peyton," Woodson said. "Every time I step on the field, it doesn't matter who we're playing, I want to get an interception. This week will be no different. Would it be great to intercept Pey- ton? No question about it." NOTES: Woodson did not practice as is typical on Wednesdays as he rests his shoulder. ... DT Denico Autry (concussion), DB TJ Carrie (chest), WR Mi- chael Crabtree (ankle), RB Taiwan Jones (foot), S Tay- lor Mays (ankle), DE Jus- tin Tuck (knee) and DT C.J. Wilson (calf) also missed practice. ... RB Latavius Murray was limited with a shoulder injury. ... DE Ben- son Mayowa (knee) and CB Keith McGill (foot) re- turned on a limited basis.

Raiders FROM PAGE 1 CHARLES REX ARBOGAST — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Oakland Raiders free safety Charles Woodson (24) celebrates a er intercepting a pass during the second half against the Chicago Bears on Sunday in Chicago. nick's rating was a woeful 36.7. His rating against the Cardinals was 16.7. Through his first 34 starts, Kaepernick was 24- 10, including two trips to the playoffs. He's lost seven of his past nine starts, dat- ing to the Thanksgiving Day loss. Kaepernick looks to re- verse that trend when the 49ers play at the New York Giants on Sunday night. "I want a confident man; just full-bore ahead at that position," Tomsula said. "I believe it's critical and I be- lieve in Colin Kaepernick." At times it appeared Kaepernick was indecisive on passes in a 17-3 loss to the Packers last Sunday. He said later they were "protective passes." He amended that statement and acknowledged that he met with Tomsula on the subject. "It was a conversation we had and he said, 'Hey, just play to win. If some- thing happens, it happens,"' Kaepernick said. "We have to go out and make sure we're making plays. I think there were throws I could have made to help us make plays. I put our team in a bad situation in the Ari- zona game. I wasn't going to allow that to happen again. It did cost us, yes. But that's something I cor- rect moving forward." Kaepernick, whose 67.7 passer rating currently ranks 32nd in the NFL, rated his confidence level at 100 percent. "I go out, I play to win," he said. "I'm not worried about job security when I step in this building." Tomsula said he and the coaching staff see no evi- dence of Kaepernick's con- fidence waning. "We've had a lot of con- versations," Tomsula said. "I'm a firm believer that the sword's always sharp on both sides. That would mean your biggest strength can sometimes hurt you. So, we've talked about that. Not that that is the prob- lem. But, just looking at everything. And not just with him. With everybody going through it. We're 1-3. I have a hard time stand- ing here and telling you anybody has played great or coached great or any- thing." Notes LB Ahmad Brooks is tending to family matters and will be away from the team indefinitely. ... WR Quinton Patton (concus- sion), NaVorro Bowman (knee), OL Alex Boone (ankle, shoulder) and OL Joe Staley (leg) all missed Wednesday's practice. Boone and Staley, who participated in the morn- ing walk throughs, are ex- pected to return Thursday. ... TE Vernon Davis (knee) returned to the field and practiced on a limited ba- sis. ... LB Gerald Hodges, whom the 49ers acquired in a trade with the Minne- sota Vikings on Monday, made his first 49er appear- ance. "Happy to have him," Tomsula said. "I mean, he's a big, physical linebacker." 49ers FROM PAGE 1 side. The benches and bull- pens cleared when Watson was issued a warning, lead- ing to little more than a few heated exchanges along the first-base line. Pirates utility player Sean Rodriguez, who'd al- ready been pulled, was ejected and proceeded to give an unsuspecting wa- ter cooler a series of one- two combinations, eventu- ally sending it tumbling to the ground. Pittsburgh had no such luck against Arrieta, with manager Clint Hur- dle seemingly flummoxed on how to attack a right- hander who has matured from raw project into over- powering force. Hurdle shelved slugger Pedro Alvarez — whose 27 homers led the team but whose 23 errors made him a defensive liability — in favor of more sure-handed Rodriguez. Hurdle pointed to the athleticism Rodri- guez brought as a major factor, figuring the Pirates would need to get creative to score against Arrieta rather than hope Alvarez runs into the kind of mis- take Arrieta has avoided nearly all season. Maddon took a decid- edly different approach, starting Kris Bryant in left and Schwarber in right and Tommy La Stella at third — positions each had played only sparingly during the regular season — because it was the lineup that pre- sented the most firepower. Did it ever. Chicago took a 1-0 lead two batters into the game when Fowler led off with a single, stole second and scored on a single to left by Schwarber. The two hooked up again in the third. Fowler singled with one out and Schwarber turned an 88 mph slider from Cole into a massive two-run shot that appeared destined for the downtown Pittsburgh sky- line before disappearing over the stands in right field. It drained whatever juice remained from a crowd that spent the buildup to the showdown between the teams with the second- and third-best record in the majors trying to get a rise out of Arrieta. The 29-year- old embraced it, tweeting back "whatever helps keep your hope alive, just know, it doesn't matter."
