PRO FOOTBALL REPORT : WEEKDAY UPDATE : RAIDERS : Look Who Isn’t Talking: Robiskie

Share via

Raider offensive coordinator Terry Robiskie is so superstitious that he’s afraid giving interviews will jinx the Raiders. Robiskie said he will talk about himself if the Raiders reach the Super Bowl.

But Coach Art Shell doesn’t mind talking about Robiskie’s contribution to the team.

“Terry has done an outstanding job,” Shell said, adding that Robiskie has the potential to become a head coach.

Unlike most offensive coordinators, who send in plays from the press box, Robiskie stands on the sideline during games.
