How Badly Are Oakland Raiders Hurt by Robert Gallery Loss?

You have to admit, Robert Gallery is a deep-down blue collar Raider.

Here is a guy the Raiders had hanged their hats on as a tackle, but then found a second life as a guard. He played his position well, with some murmurings that he should make a pro bowl selection, if the Raiders can win games.

Now, the Raiders are going to be forced, to win without him.

Gallery, did not want to go quietly, insisting that he needed a second opinion to the lower back injury. It can be imagined, that even with the pain, here was a fighter, willing to put it all on the line.

Tough fighter, he finally resigned to the fact he wouldn't be able to, with that tingling feeling that would disturb the best football players.
