Lisa Motley of Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority gets fans ready to hit up the new home of the Las Vegas Raiders.
Raiders Round-Up
On the newest episode of The Only Nation Podcast, we prepare to visit Las Vegas. We start the show discussing this week’s first padded practices in training camp. Wide receiver Bryan Edwards, tackle Sam Young and linebacker Javin White are turning heads in a good way. Meanwhile, rookie running back Lynn Bowden Jr is having some trouble adjusting to NFL level play.
T3RaiderFax presents a new list for Heidi’s High Five. He later covers the return of Maxx Crosby and Rod Smith to the active roster. We also talk about wide receiver Tyrell Williams coming into the season healthy after battling plantar fasciitis last year. Furthermore, T3 reveals his weekly overachiever and underachiever for training camp and relays some interesting stats about turnover differential.
