The rest of the All-Bust Team

At least the made some headlines this week. Aside, of course, from rumors that the team's rookie head coach, Lane Kiffin, was considering downgrading his job by taking a position with Arkansas.On Wednesday, SI.com released its "All-Bust Team." As laid out on the website's NFL page, it detailed the league's "ultimate underachievers of the 2007 season ... the list of guys who didn't match their team's expectations."The poster boy for the story was the self-proclaimed "QB Killa" himself, Raiders defensive tackle Warren Sapp."How can someone so big come up so small?" writer Don Banks questioned. "We know he's just a week away from his 35th birthday, but after his Steelers 10 Santonio Holmes jersey
stellar comeback season of 2006 (10 sacks), Sapp had once again raised the bar of expectation. Maybe last year was the aberration and this year is the norm."He's right. Sapp has just 42 tackles and a pair of sacks this season, and he is the key (maybe not so key) tackle on a defense that ranks 31st in stopping the run.Surprisingly, though, Sapp was the only Raider on the list. There weren't even any "dishonorable mentions" to note.Here are the players Banks forgot to include, conveniently all members of the Silver and Black.Derrick Burgess: In the previous two seasons leading up to 2007, the 29-year-old defensive end registered a league-leading 27 sacks. At this pace, he'll be lucky to finish off the year with seven. To the veteran's credit, he did miss two games earlier this season with an Achilles' injury. However, nobody could have expected his backup, Chris Clemons, to have more sacks with just three games remaining.Daunte Culpepper: Since a five-touchdown performance against the Miami Dolphins (back when they weren't that bad), the "healthy" Culpepper who signed with Oakland has done nothing but suffer injuries and show a decrease in production. Outside of that Week 4 win against his old team, Culpepper has thrown just three touchdowns in seven appearances, not to mention that he's tossed five picks and been sacked 21 times.Chris Carr: It's hard to pick on a guy who is willing to run into a pack of 11 men all bigger than himself, but the lack of vision from the 180-pound Carr this season is a near-impossible reality to ignore. "The Raiders' all-time leading return man," as every NFL broadcaster loves to proclaim, averages just 21.0 yards per rep this year with a long of only 38. As a team, the Raiders rank 30th in the category and are one of just five teams without a runback over 40 yards.Rob Ryan: Ryan looks rugged, motivational and fiery, but his inability to adjust may lead to him being fired. The fourth-year D-coordinator, whose birthday happens to be today, has assembled a scheme that is consistently helpless against the run. The Raider 'D' allows over 150 yards on the ground each game and has let nine different rushers surpass the 100-yard bar in 13 games. Somebody has to be blamed, Vikings Brett Favre jersey
and the rough-looking Ryan is the easiest.Terdell Sands: There's only so many ways to stress how awful the Raiders' run defense is. To put things into perspective, Terdell Sands, a 6-foot-7, 335-pound tackle, who was awarded a four-year, $17 million contract last February, has just 12 more tackles this season than wide receiver Jerry Porter. Porter doesn't even play special teams.Anthony Carroll, a senior writer for
