Tom Cable was fired by the Raiders on Tuesday, and at least one veteran is unhappy about it. Punter Shane Lechler called the move a "huge setback" in an interview with a local television station."I'm not so sure this isn't a terrible decision," he added, saying he thought Cable's "no-nonsense" approach was "exactly what we need." According to Lechler, the move will cause the team's free agents to not want to re-sign with the squad.
Lechler said he tried to call Al Davis and other executives, but has gotten no response.
"I just want to know what the hell's going on," he said. "I just want to know ... how do you justify firing somebody when you just went 6-0 in the division and 8-8 in the season after we put in so much as a group, as a unit, as a team with our leader being Tom Cable, how do you just go ahead and whack this guy with, I mean, no reason?"
