Not too “Brad”: Seely opens up about Raiders’ special teams

Uncategorized /

Let’s just get it out there: No Oakland Raiders coach lost more core players than Brad Seely.

A straight-shooter himself, the special teams boss watched Brynden Trawick, Andre Holmes, and Darren Bates depart in free agency, and then, Taiwan Jones gets cut. However, like any coach who has spent 39 years in the game (28 as a special teams coach), Seely takes it all in stride.

Raiders K: Sebastian Janikowski

The State of The Oakland Raiders’ Special Teams

Analysis, Sebastian Janikowski /

Even during the Oakland Raiders’ “Dark Age,” one of the beacons of hope that was and continues to shine, is the special teams unit. Led by Sebastian Janikowski and punter Shane Lechler, the Silver and Black had one of the most talented and efficient special team’s groups in the NFL. In fact, the team always ranked near the top of the kicking game thanks to the sturdy sets of legs these two brought, regardless of the record.

Flash forward to the present, and while much has changed from top to bottom in the organization, the “Sea Bass” persists. Now joined by walking meme Marquette King, the Raiders still boast two of the biggest and best legs in the game.

Everyone loves an underdog fighting his way to achieving the impossible, Borders is doing just that and then some. Who is this undrafted rookie and what can we expect from his towards the end of camp and into preseason? The answer to that question remains unanswered, but there’s a lot to like about this undrafted rookie and why Raider Nation should be on the look out for #31 from now on.

Las Vegas Stadium Update: Community Benefits Agreement mired in Deception and Extortion Claims

Uncategorized /

This is the law that authorizes the funding for the Las Vegas Stadium and Las Vegas Convention Center. The issue with that is that the language defining the community benefits agreement is overly vague. Because of that, one local group appears to be taking advantage of this. They have demanded that the Raiders set up a bank account that they can have access to according to sources close to this.

Raiders OT Donald Penn

Eyes on the Future: 3 Left Tackles the Raiders should be looking at

AFC West, Analysis, Donald Penn /

With all of the recent commotion that Donald Penn has created by holding out of camp, I started to do a little digging into what the Oakland Raiders could soon do to address the left tackle position.

One thing is clear, the NFL above all else is a business, and though sometimes that fact is lost on fans, everyone from players to the people who run the organizations understand this perfectly.

Right now Penn has every right to ask for a raise yet the timing of his decision is less than optimal.

Raiders QB Derek Carr

Revenge of the Seth?

AFC West, Analysis, Seth Roberts /

As superstitions go, Seth Roberts is a big part of a smirk-worthy, yet hard-to-ignore ritual. Get this: The Oakland Raiders are 9-0 in games where Roberts hauls in a touchdown pass. Word?

It’s stunningly true. The ninth of those victories came in a wild 35-32 home win over the visiting Carolina Panthers. Coincidentally, that game marked the final time Roberts found the end zone in 2016.
