Raiders in turmoil following 6th defeat

DETROIT (AP) -- Charles Woodson said the Oakland Raiders are "falling apart" because coach Bill Callahan is too headstrong and not as good a communicator as predecessor Jon Gruden.
"He just has to bend a little bit and stop being so stubborn as a person," Woodson said after the Raiders dropped to 2-6 by losing to Detroit 23-13 Sunday. "Everybody can change a little something. You don't know everything. Nobody does.
"When people on your team, coming from different angles, are trying to help you as a coach, you should take that."
Woodson said Callahan has lost the team. Asked whether he still has control, Callahan responded: "No question. I'm very confident."
Two players asked about the flap Sunday, Jerry Rice and Rod Coleman, supported Callahan. Another, Jerry Porter, wouldn't comment.
