Week One Welcome Back
There’s a lot to talk about ahead of Week One 2020. Unfortunately, I haven’t met my duties as a Raiders blogger this offseason. Between COVID and taking in my two brothers and sister, I’ve been busy. I was covering the Lakers, doing a two-times weekly podcast and started my own newsletter. However, that all came… Continue reading Week One Welcome Back
Raiders trade options at the deadline, Texans and RIP Willie
The Raiders have moved every first round player from the Reggie McKenzie days, except Karl Joseph. However, Joseph could still get moved before Monday’s deadline. This week Oakland traded Gareon Conley after missing some crucial tackles last week. Rumors say the talks went on for weeks but the timing makes even Lane Kiffin’s infamous departure… Continue reading Raiders trade options at the deadline, Texans and RIP Willie
Time to rev the Carr
If the Raiders play like they did Sunday it will be a long season. Oakland came out with a 3-and-out faster than you can imagined. The defense wasn’t much better. The Raiders got beat as soon as they got off the plane. Now, they’ll go into Indianapolis. The Colts are well coached and still strong… Continue reading Time to rev the Carr
Forget AB, for Oakland’s Sake and more game notes Week One 2019
Week One is upon us and Antonio Brown is behind us. The entire, short-lived Antonio Brown situation was nightmare for the Silver and Black.

Oakland… Continue reading Forget AB, for Oakland’s Sake and more game notes Week One 2019
Are the Raiders the Worst in the NFL? Battle of the Bay, no trades before Halloween and more
I can’t believe I’m happy to say that we competed versus the Indianapolis Colts last week. It’s truth though. Last Sunday was the first week I enjoyed watching the 2018 Raiders. Their adjustments and talent weren’t great, sure, but I finally saw young players like Gareon Conley and Karl Joseph playing. Were they great? No,… Continue reading Are the Raiders the Worst in the NFL? Battle of the Bay, no trades before Halloween and more

Gambling on the Raiders staying at home
It was an overcast day. That could not stop me from grilling. I got into the gravel-filled parking lot and found myself parked next to some Buffalo Bills fans. They were blonde-haired and blue-eyed white people enjoying cold cuts. They were nice and peaceful compared to the rowdy college students which we were. Surrounding us… Continue reading Gambling on the Raiders staying at home
Oakland Raiders Quarterly Report: Defense
On defense, the Oakland Raiders have not done much well. They have faced plenty of growing pains in a new scheme with a new defensive coordinator. Between Jack Del Rio and Ken Norton Jr. leading this group, they should be playing a lot better. Against the Bengals, Jeremy Hill tore apart the Raiders defense. Versus… Continue reading Oakland Raiders Quarterly Report: Defense
The defensive coordinator fiasco
Can we just hire a coordinator already? The fact that Raiders have already added staff positions but have yet to net a defensive coordinator is understandably making fans anxious. The Raiders have already explored options with Eric Mangini and Mike Smith who would have both been good coordinators. Ultimately, both have reportedly spurned the job.… Continue reading The defensive coordinator fiasco
