ALAMEDA, Calif. -- For a team that hasnt had much success playing at home this season, the Oakland Raiders are embracing a 10-day road trip to Florida.Rather than disrupt his teams normal schedule with a pair of 5,600-mile round-trip flights on consecutive weekends for games in Jacksonville and Tampa Bay, coach Jack Del Rio decided to have the Raiders take an extended stay on the East Coast.They left for the first leg of their journey Friday following practice and wont return to the Bay Area until Oct. 30.I think its going to be great, I really do, quarterback Derek Carr said. Just to be out somewhere different with everybody. When you get those times at the hotel to be around each other, to eat every meal together (and) do those things, I think its nothing but good. Whenever you can spend as much time around each other as possible, its really good.Considering how well the Raiders have played away from home this season, Carr has good reason to be optimistic.Oakland is one of three teams that are 3-0 on the road this season, joining Dallas and Seattle. The Raiders have won in New Orleans, Tennessee and Baltimore, all three places where theyve historically struggled to play well before this year.At home its been a different story. Oakland is 1-2 at the Coliseum this season and 4-7 since Del Rio took over.Del Rio and his staff contemplated staying in the East earlier this year when they played the Titans and Ravens in back-to-back games but opted to do it this time around instead. The plan, Del Rio said, is to keep the players daily routines as normal as possible in between the games against the Jaguars and Bucs.That means everything from practice schedules to team meetings and meals. Some players will also have their families along, something Carr believes will help the players feel comfortable while on the road.If we bed check them here, well bed check them there, Del Rio said. All of the ways we operate, . what time they have, when we meet and how we meet and the material they get, when we feed them are going to remain as much on schedule as possible.Staying away for home for back-to-back road games has become a trend in the NFL over recent years. Jacksonville did it in 2013 when it played in Oakland in Week 2 and at Seattle in Week 3. The Jaguars stayed in the Bay Area and practiced at San Jose State in between the two games.Just having the team together for a week . you really limit distractions, Jacksonville coach Gus Bradley said. Youre away from anything that can be a distraction at home. I think the guys spend a lot of time together. We just felt like it brought our team closer together.Del Rio said the extended trip has been more of an issue for football operations coordinator Tom Jones and equipment manager Bob Romanski than it has been for the players.Its similar to like going to training camp in what they have to do, Del Rio said. They take down the computers and some of the things like that. Theres a lot of work behind the scenes. Thats who has the real strain.For us, players and coaches, its going to be very seamless. Basically football preparation as we know it, just doing it in a different environment.Game notesRunning back Taiwan Jones (toe) remains questionable after being limited for a third straight day in practice but the Raiders are encouraged about his progress. Center Rodney Hudson (knee), right guard Gabe Jackson (knee), running back Taiwan Jones (knee), right tackle Menelik Watson (calf) and safety Brynden Trawick (shoulder) were all limited and are questionable.

It bettered her previous best as a pro, which was Tied-9th earlier this month in Germany and her career-best of T-8 in Hero Indian Open 2012, when she was a 14-year-old amateur.Meanwhile, local talent Azahara Munoz (70), beat back a strong challenge from American Beth Allen (72) to become the first Spaniard to win her home Open. Munoz, who started the day one shot behind, fell two behind as Allen opened with a birdie. But the American faltered on the back nine with three bogeys, while Munoz held her nerve and won by a shot. Munoz totaled 10-under to Allens nine-under.Sure, I am pleased with the performance, said Aditi at the end of the week. Overall I felt I didnt play the front nine very well, as I dropped a few shots every day, but in the end it was a good week. I played well in Germany and now here, so I am looking forward to next event.On Sunday, Aditi, who was Tied-8th after the second round, opened with a bogey but got that shot back with a birdie on par-4 sixth. However, another bogey on ninth meant she turned in over par for the front nine for the third time in four days.dddddddddddd But she made up superbly on back nine. She birdied three times in four holes, on the 10th, 12th and 13th and then added a fourth one on par-5 16th. She almost had an eagle on 16th, as the ball caught the edge on her third shot and stopped inches away for a birdie.My scoring has improved over the season. Now that the LET season is in full swing, the more I play, my game gets better. First time as pro, it is different, although the game is the same. My long game has got better as the season has progressed. I got a new set at the start of the year and I got used to it in the off season, Aditi said.Aditi will next play in Lacoste Ladies Open de France, which is a limited field event.There were just 5-6 events till June-July and now in 2-3 weeks, I have played almost three tournaments. Rio (Olympic golf) was there, it was good, I was in Top-10 after first two days. That gave me a lot of confidence. Now two Top-10s. A lot of positives, I would say. Now the season is more packed, she said.Sophie Walker (71) and Georgia Hall (68) were tied third and Florentyna Parker (67) was fifth ahead of Aditi. ' ' '
