The Raiders, as is well- documented, haven't been to the playoffs since 2002. That 14-year drought was the second-longest in the NFL, trailing only the Buffalo Bills. Mack was a month shy of 12 years old when the Raiders played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their last postseason game, Super Bowl XXXVII. Forty players on the Raiders roster have never played in a playoff game and five of the 13 who have were one-and-done situ- ations. Combined, those players have played in 56 playoff games, led by Bruce Irvin's 10 and Mi- chael Crabtree and Mal- colm Smith's eight. Rookies such as Jalen Richard understand they're lucky … to a degree. "I'm asking certain guys like Reggie (Nelson), who's been in the league double digits and he's only been to the playoffs six or seven times," Richard said. (Note to Richard: that's a lot). Coach Jack Del Rio wants to make sure the moment is appreciated — "We are one of 12 teams that are still playing right now. We take pride in that" — without letting the hype get too big. "We have not talked about anything special about the first playoff game thus far," he said. "It's re- ally in my experience that the more that you can un- derstand the hype sur- rounding it changes, but the game itself remains a game. We'll be ready to play as long as we just think of it that way." The Raiders are where they're supposed to be. General manager Reggie McKenzie spent the past five years building a team to compete and the third season of Carr and Mack was supposed to result in a playoff berth. He added an All-Pro left guard this season in Kel- echi Osemele and a Pro Bowl safety in Nelson. Ir- vin has been another ma- jor contributor and other recent free agents, Penn and center Rodney Hud- son, are Pro Bowl players as well. The playoffs aren't and shouldn'tbeasurprise.That they're moving on without Carr has changed the story, but not what is in front of the Raiders. And even if they're being counted out, inside the locker room they're not really concerned with the odds. "I think we've always been a team that never really cared what outsid- ers think anyway," cor- nerback David Amerson said. "I don't think that will affect us in any way. Of course, our leader's out. We've got a good team. We just have to make ad- justments. We've got good backup players. I think we'll be fine." Many of McKenzie's ad- ditions — in fact, five of his free agents since this offseason (Irvin, Osemele, Nelson, Sean Smith and Brynden Trawick) — are among those few that have postseason experience and that helps. "Anybody that's been there before has the expe- rience they can speak from and help the younger guys understand," Del Rio said. Irvin explained the dif- ference. "At the end of the day, it's going to be a football game," he said earlier this week. "If you lose, there's no next week. You've got to leave it all out there. Play your best players. Have your best game plan be- cause you can't depend on next week. If you don't han- dle your business, around this time next week we're going to be packing up." The Raiders can call this season a success no matter what happens Sat- urday, knowing the play- off drought is over and they have a team capable of competing for the next several years. But since they are here, they might as well take advantage. "More than half the teams are sitting at home," running back Latavius Murray said. "We get the opportunity to go out and play and that's all we can ask for." Raiders FROM PAGE 1 here for awhile because we've been doing some re- ally good things together." Paton is the third of nine GM candidates on the in- terview schedule, following Thursday's session with Green Bay Packers execu- tives Eliot Wolf and Brian Gutekunst. Paton just fin- ished his 10th season with the Vikings under general manager Rick Spielman, who he's previously worked with on the Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins. Pa- ton was a finalist for the St. Louis Rams' GM post in 2012. On Saturday, the 49ers plan to interview New Eng- land Patriots offensive co- ordinator Josh McDan- iels and possibly Patriots player-personnel director Nick Caserio. Other GM candidates include Carolina Panthers assistant general manager Brandon Beane, Jimmy Raye III (Colts vice pres- ident of football opera- tions), Louis Riddick(ESPN analyst, former NFL per- sonnel director) and the Seattle Seahawks co-di- rectors of player person- nel: Trent Kirchner and Scott Fitterer. Lynn was the first to in- terview Wednesday with the 49ers search tandem of CEO Jed York and chief strategy officer Paraag Marathe. Other coaching can- didates are Sean McVay (Washington Redskins of- fensive coordinator), Vance Joseph (Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator), and Sean McDermott (Panthers defensive coordinator), all of whom are expected to be interviewed Monday. Tom Cable, the former Raiders coach and current Seattle Seahawks offensive line coach, also could be on the 49ers radar. • No 49ers received an Associated Press All-Pro vote, the only team shut out. They had nine players earn All-Pro honors during their 2012 season's run to Super Bowl XLVII. • Colin Kaepernick an- nounced his December donations as part of his Million Dollar Pledge for community organizations across America. He gifted $50,000 to UCSF's Mni Wiconi Health Clinic Part- nership at Standing Rock Sioux reservation; $25,000 to Appetite For Change in Minneapolis; $25,000 to Southsiders Organized for Unity and Liberation in Chicago. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 receivers and putting quar- terbacks in the shotgun formation for many snaps. Fullbacks lost their jobs and running backs became more specialized. This season, teams aver- aged 26 rushing attempts per game. That's the few- est total in league history, according to Pro Football Reference. The average was 36.9 in 1976, 30.2 in 1986, 28.3 in 1996 and 28.2 in 2006. But several successful teams had effective ground games led by a workhorse back. The Patriots (14-2) ran the ball 99 more times this season than last. Blount's success helped 39-year-old Tom Brady post one of his best years. Blount ran for 1,161 yards and a league- best 18 TDs while Brady tossed 28 TDs and a ca- reer-low two interceptions after returning from his four-game suspension. "LeGarrette's been very consistent for us," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "He's been durable so he's there for us every week, gets a lot of tough yards. He's a big back but he's had some explosive plays as well. It's been good for us in really a lot of situa- tions. He can run inside, he can run outside."
