ALAMEDA -- The south end zone of the Coliseum isn't the only black hole associated with the Raiders.
The other one, for the past three years, has been the safety spot opposite Charles Woodson. It's been a revolving door that at one time or another has been manned by Tyvon Branch, Usama Young, Brandian Ross, TJ Carrie, Taylor Mays, Larry Asante or Nate Allen.Only Allen and Carrie remain on the roster, the former accepting a pay cut to stay on after a knee injury derailed his first season with the Raiders, and the latter a cornerback by trade who has played safety in an emergency.
