SFC Note: "Raiders center Samson Satele lost the starting competition to Chris Morris in training camp. The job is now his even when the rest of the Raiders' offensive line gets healthy. Raiders coach Tom Cable said as much when asked what happens when left guard Robert Gallery comes back from a broken leg. Morris moved to left guard when Gallery was hurt in Week 2, allowing Satele to start at center. Now it's Morris who will go to the bench when Gallery returns, possibly as soon as next week against the Chiefs. Cable said Satele's body of work trumps Morris' and that he has bounced back strong after missing so much offseason time because of shoulder surgery. Satele is also doing much better making line calls and working the zone-blocking scheme."
About earning the starting center job, Samson said:
"It's my job to lose." (SFC)
