ALAMEDA, Calif. Cordrea Tankersley Jersey . - When general manager Reggie McKenzie set out in the off-season to rebuild the Oakland Raiders, he wanted to put together a team that could push around opponents in the trenches and run the ball consistently.That was the same message Tony Sparano delivered when he took over as interim coach four games into the season. Yet the Raiders start the second half of the season on pace to run the ball fewer times than any team in more than 80 years and for fewer yards than any team in nearly 70 years.Along with searching for their first win of the season, the Raiders (0-8) also are trying to re-establish their identity. Oakland is last in the NFL in rushing with 65.5 yards per game, the fewest for any team since the 1946 Detroit Lions averaged 42.5 yards. The Raiders have only run the ball 18.9 times per game, the fewest on records that go back to 1932.Im just not used to that, the number of attempts being what they are right now, Sparano said. We put ourselves there. Youre down on the road, in that kind of situation, and we put ourselves in that position a little bit on several occasions. Normally, Im more used to being in the 30 range, somewhere around there, and I think that produces better numbers.Right now the numbers are quite poor. The Raiders have topped 100 yards rushing just twice all season, gaining 101 in a blowout loss to Houston in Week 2 with help from a 41-yard keeper by quarterback Derek Carr and 114 against San Diego in the first game under Sparano.But the running game has reverted the past three weeks with the team averaging 56.3 yards per game and 2.9 yards per carry in losses to Arizona, Cleveland and Seattle.Sparano said the lack of opportunities has hurt the production. He said the team had 17 run plays in the game plan against Seattle but only ran the ball 16 times as the offensive line was beat repeatedly at the point of attack.The Raiders had hoped for stronger run blocking after adding big guards in rookie Gabe Jackson and free agent Austin Howard but that hasnt materialized yet.We just have to figure it out, Howard said. We have the guys up front to run the ball. We have the coaches to put us in the places to have success in the run game. We just have to go out on the field and do it. Its on us as players to go out and get it done.Despite the lack of production on the ground, the Raiders have stuck with Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew as their primary ball carriers. McFadden has 358 yards and is averaging 3.7 yards per carry while Jones-Drew has been held to 54 yards on 26 carries as he has been slowed by a hand injury.Latavius Murray has carried the ball just four times all season and fullback Marcel Reece also has only four runs. Reece has had good success the few times he has played tailback, rushing for 123 yards last year against the Jets and averaging 114 yards from scrimmage in four starts in 2012.Thats something that you could see happen because hes a big back who carries the ball a little differently than the other runners that we have, Sparano said. In his opportunity last year thats something he did a good job of. Were just trying to get to a point where we can get enough carries to go around period here. Bringing one more guys into the mix at this point while it may be great and might be a spark is a thought.NOTES: CBs Carlos Rogers (knee), TJ Carrie (ankle) and Chimdi Chekwa (hamstring) did not practice. ...

OTTAWA -- Focus has been the key to the Los Angeles Kings recent success. Anze Kopitar scored twice as the Kings beat the Ottawa Senators 5-2 on Saturday afternoon for their sixth straight win. In many ways this game was over before it even started as the Kings took control of the game, scoring twice by the four-minute mark. The game could have been much uglier had Los Angeles not let up in the second period. "We kind of slacked a little after we were up 3-0," said Kings defenceman Drew Doughty. "We let them back in the game and they started outshooting us and taking the play to us and after they got those two we had to get back in the game." Los Angeles now has a 22-7-4 record, third-best in the NHL. Ottawa, meanwhile, continues to struggle with afternoon games. The Senators are now 1-6-1 when the puck drops before 7 p.m. "They got off to a better start than us so they carry momentum early," said Ottawas Jason Spezza. Jeff Carter, Dwight King and Jarrett Stoll also scored for L.A. Rookie goaltender Martin Jones extended his winning streak to five games, stopping 37 shots. Joe Corvo and Erik Karlsson scored for the Senators (13-15-6), who saw their home record drop to 6-9-3 for the year. Starter Craig Anderson was pulled after allowing two goals on four shots in 4:18. Robin Lehner finished the game allowing three goals on 22 shots. L.A. took control early on as King opened the scoring just 21 seconds into the game beating Anderson blocker side. Carters goal at 4:18 put an end to Andersons afternoon as he looked awful on the play. "I had a bad day," said Anderson. "Everyone has a bad day once in a while. It just so happens the red light goes on when I make a mistake. Its all magnified that way. It stinks, but I cant focus too much on it, Ive got to move forward and put it behind you. "Its a little blip on the radar and one of those things where the sooner you forget about it the better off youll be." Senators coach Paul MacLean admitted that Andersons rough start made it that much more difficult for his team. "We didnt get saves early," said MacLeaan. Wholesale Dolphins Jerseys China. "That team that we played is a very good team. They play a certain way and they play that way the whole game and they make it difficult for you and they certainly did that (Saturday)." While Anderson had his share of struggles his teammates say they didnt offer much help. "Its a (bad) goal, but at the same time we cant just put it on (Anderson) in that situation," said defenceman Erik Karlsson. "The things hes done for us in the past is probably way more than just one unlucky bounce there so we should be able to clean it up there for him. Obviously today we didnt have his back like he usually has ours." Things didnt get any better as Kopitar made it 3-0 after beating Lehner from in close. That marked the 18th straight game in which the Kings did not allow a goal in the first period. "We just keep winning," said Stoll. "Theres just a bunch of things going right right now. We just have to make sure we keep on top of it." The Senators finally managed to give the 17,140 fans in attendance something to cheer about midway through the second as Corvo was able to jump on Spezzas rebound and beat the 23-year-old Jones on the left side. Ottawa made things close as Karlsson made it 3-2 at the four-minute mark of the third, but were never able to score the equalizer as Jones was solid. "We stuck to it as good as we could," said Ottawas Erik Karlsson. "We won the second period and got an early goal in the third, but unfortunately wasnt able to hold on for the tie." Stoll made it 4-2 at 13:18 of the third as he picked up a Drew Doughty rebound and Kopitar scored his second of the game on the power play with just over three minutes remaining putting an end to any hopes of a Senators comeback.
