The New Dynamic Duo Of The Raiders Secondary

Analysis /

Conley showed flashes of greatness in a Week 2 matchup last season against the New York Jets. Despite it serving as a brief look at the former Buckeye, it gave a glimmer of hope that the Raiders have a shut-down corner for many years to come. Unfortunately, Conley’s shins would give way the following week and as a result, he was put on the shelf for the remainder of his rookie season.

Despite Conley not being on the field to showcase his talents, his collegiate resume and the brief snippet of playing time in the NFL is enough to silence any naysayers. Fast forward to now and Conley’s injury has since healed and he is right on schedule in his return to the field.

Quick Slants: Attitude Era returning for the Oakland Raiders

Uncategorized /

A mini-vacation is a good reprieve for Jon Gruden’s Oakland Raiders. A break from the daily NFL grind does both the body and mind good.

When the team reconvenes in a month for training camp in Napa, however, it’s imperative Gruden ramp up the attitude and maintain the same level-headed approach he’s shown in front of the media.

“We got a lot to prove yet, we’re a long way off. But we laid a very good foundation,” Gruden said during last week’s mandatory minicamp.

Derek Carr and Jon Gruden “off to a terrific start”

Uncategorized /

In the three seasons Gruden and Gannon shared together, Gannon threw for over 10,000 yards, 79 touchdown passes and Oakland made the playoffs each year with this duo. Prior to joining the Raiders, Gannon’s top season was less than stellar as he only managed 2,305 yards through the air with ten touchdown tosses and six interceptions.

With a tough-love coaching style, Gruden was able to help lead Gannon on the path of his most productive years in the NFL. Now, Gruden will oversee an offensive attack that already boasts an MVP-caliber quarterback in Carr.

Why Greg Olson can Electrify the Raiders’ Offense Again

Uncategorized /

Looking ahead to next season, Olson will be taking over a talented offense filled with star power. Carr is only one year removed from being an MVP candidate and the offensive line is still one of the toughest in the league. With the strong likelihood of Olson rejuvenating Amari Cooper to return to form along with the addition of Jody Nelson and many talented younger wideouts, this receiving corps will be a potent aerial assault in 2018. With some gas left in the tank, all signs point to Marshawn Lynch as the work-horse back for next year. Given Olson’s resume with less talented rosters, this year the Raiders offense has the potential to be one of the best in the league under Greg Olson.
