RaiderRamble.com Preview: AFC South Predictions

AFC South, Analysis, Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars /

After Raider Ramble’s somewhat controversial pick in last week’s preview of the AFC West, we now turn our attentions to the AFC South. After finishing a combined 29-35, only two other divisions (NFC West & AFC North) finished with a worse combined record. However, it seems like this division is brimming with talent and perhaps this will be the season its teams put it all together. Let’s take a look at some of the most notable offseason moves made by each team.

Derek Carr

The NFL’s Best Game Closing Duo

AFC West, Analysis, Jalen Richard /

Carr and Mack are the perfect game closing duo as team captains. From the locker room to the huddle, every player has faith in the duos ability to win under any circumstance. That’s a powerful tool for a team that has a challenging 2017 schedule. With a coach earning the fan title “Black Jack” Del Rio for showing his willingness to take risks late in games because of them, it’s hard ever to count the Raiders out. It doesn’t also hurt to have one of the leagues all-time best kickers in Sebastian Janikowski on the sideline, a trio perhaps?

Is the Raiders’ Jalen Richard the next Ray Rice?

2 Comments / AFC West, Analysis, Baltimore Ravens, DeAndre Washington, Jalen Richard /

Jalen Richard’s story is truly that of an underdog as he was signed by the Oakland Raiders as an undrafted free agent following the 2016 NFL draft. The rookie was pretty mediocre at best during his college career at Southern Mississippi as he rushed for over 1,000 only once during his four years with the Golden Eagles.

Part III: Top 3 Wide Receivers during Raiders’ “Dark Age”

AFC West, Analysis, Raiders History, Randy Moss, Sports History /

Denarius Moore’s consistent play was enough to put him higher on this list than Curry even though Curry had more receiving yards. I had forgotten about Porter’s suspension in 2006 which stemmed from his bickering with then head coach Art Shell. I always wonder what these receivers could have done with the young star the Raiders now have under center. Either way, real fans can appreciate how far the Raiders have come from those days and enjoy even more the present day success.

2017 Outlook: Jamize Olawale’s going to be a nightmare matchup

2 Comments / AFC West, Analysis, Fan Corner, Jamize Olawale /

The Oakland Raiders signed Jamize Olawale off of the Dallas Cowboy’s practice squad in 2012. While Olawale wasn’t a big part of the offense, he was a solid special teams player. He even led the team in special teams tackles with 14 in 2014 after coming in third the previous season with eight.
