Raiders coach Tom Cable believes Neal has been as good as any fullback in quite some time.
"I'm not sure there's been as good a lead blocker in football maybe in the last 15, 20 years as that guy."Not only does Neal expect to lead by blocking, but he expects to lead by example and help the Raiders' group of tailbacks believe in themselves.
"You bring that confidence that says, 'Look, man, believe in me. Just get on my hip and don't dip. Let's go,'" Neal said. "Before you know it, you just start feeding it, it becomes an attitude, it becomes, hey, even if you're not as good, you start making these guys believe that you're better than you are."Neal has made the Pro Bowl in four seasons and most recently in 2007.
