"Coach Tom Cable's desire to get tight end Zach Miller more involved in the passing game has meshed well with new quarterback Jason Campbell's penchant for finding his tight end on a regular basis.
At Monday's practice, Campbell twice looked Miller's way on a two-minute drive, and they connected for a touchdown on the final pass.
"I like it," Cable said of the chemistry between Miller and Campbell. "I really like it with that whole group, but those two guys are really starting to develop something, for sure. You take him in the red zone; you need a touchdown in that situation. You saw who he went to."
Washington Redskins tight ends Chris Cooley and Fred Davis combined for 77 receptions for 841 yards and eight touchdowns last season with Campbell as their quarterback. Miller caught 66 passes for 805 yards and three touchdowns last season.
Cable said there are plenty of ways for the Raiders to get more from Miller, especially near the goal line. Miller is all for the increased workload.
"He's had good tight ends in the past to work with," Miller said of Campbell. "Him coming here, right away we developed a good connection right off the bat. We have good trust.
"On certain routes he knows I'm going to win. We have a good feel for each other already on where I'm going to be. I try just to be consistent for him and make the plays for him so he keeps coming my way.""
