Raiders K: Sebastian Janikowski

The State of The Oakland Raiders’ Special Teams

2 Comments / 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.

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.

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.
