Raiders fan swings helmet at B.W. Webb

OXNARD, Calif. — A dangerous incident unfolded when the Cowboys’ defense and Raiders’ offense had an all-out brawl on the sidelines and within reach of Raiders fans during their joint practice Tuesday.

Cowboys cornerback B.W. Webb had a fan start an altercation with him. The fan took a couple shots at Webb and then swung a game-sized souvenir helmet at him. Webb went back at the fan twice before he was pulled away by coaches.

“It’s definitely a dangerous situation,” Webb said. “I don’t know why fans would want to jump on this side of the fence. I don’t think they’d like it too much on this side.

“I wasn’t expecting that, but whoever jumped on my back, I had to get them off.”

It was an intense practice that boiled over when Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne form tackled Raiders tight end Mychal Rivera during team drills.

It's telling that their fans feel compelled to wear helmets in the stands in the first place.

Thanks WG.

Looks to me like the fans are allowed to close to the sidelines. The opportunity was there and some Raider fan did not hesitate to react. Beef up security and supply them with stun guns. OK that might be extreme but you get the point.

Well after the incident, the cops moved between the team and the fans.

After seeing the whole video, I have to say the Raiders are a soft bunch. No idea who 81 is but he clearly tried to lower his shoulder and run Claiborne over and instead Mo (of all people) dropped him like a bad habit so they start a fight?

Meanwhile, Dez was seen headed to the locker room during the scrum because he was too emotional and couldn't handle another Cowboys loss. This time, to Raiders fans.

Would have enjoyed seeing that being pulled against Randy White. They would have to have a funeral service for the Raiders fan right there.

Yeah, At least he doesn't just sit there, while everybody else is looking like "O Well"

I know you miss the Demarcus Ware attitude. You know, the "There is always next week" attitude. Face it, he's gone. That attitude is dying out.
