    The Raiders were penalized 15 times in their 23-20 win over the Broncos Monday night, the most in the league for Week 1. According to Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee, Jackson wants his team to be smarter and cut down on penalties. "When we get really good, we're not going to talk about penalties in this room," Jackson said Tuesday during his weekly news conference at team headquarters. "That's not going to be the issue. Fifteen penalties will not be the issue. We need to play better. We need to do things fundamentally correct so we don't get called. That's the truth." Jackson said no matter how long it takes, he will get the Raiders to play more disciplined. "It might be Game 16 and it's solved, but I promise you this: It's going to get solved," Jackson said. "I want you to know that. I'm not going to stop, I'm not going to relent on anything because that's a huge part of something that we emphasize, and we've got to get it corrected."
