ALAMEDA, Calif.
Middle linebacker Cory James was so busy trying to stay on point with the rest of the Raiders defense last week that he wasn't able to fully enjoy his first NFL start.
Oakland's sixth-round pick expects to be a lot more comfortable his second time around when the Raiders play in Baltimore on Sunday.
"I'm glad coach (Jack) Del Rio believed in the rookie to get the start," James said Friday. "I saw some good things, me making some good tackles. And a lot of mental errors I can correct. Now I know what it's like to play with the 1s for a full game so I'll have that experience.
