Raiders impressed with heavy hitter Burfict’s football intellect

NAPA — It was a match that was either made in heaven or, well, you know . . . the other place.

Vontaze Burfict and the Raiders.

Bad boy joins the bad team.

The fourth practice of training camp is Tuesday, and so far, both sides seem more than pleased with the arrangement after Burfict signed with the Raiders on March 20 following his release after seven years with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Burfict was in his element during the first padded practice Monday, getting more leeway in terms of delivering the kind of punishment that some thought went overboard during his time with the Bengals.
