The Oakland Raiders Will Have an Explosive Offense in 2013
If you are a Raiders fan and have tuned into sports talk within the past few months, you likely haven’t heard much positivity. You hear the firing of the PR director, Hayden having a (very common) follow-up procedure to his college injury, or about a very bad QB day in OTA’s. Despite these, the arrow is very much pointing up for Raider Nation. With a clean sweep of the defense...

Tale of the Tape: film review of Raiders' TE Nick Kasa
Nick Kasa was the first of two tight ends taken by the Raiders in the sixth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Kasa, a former defensive end that is still learning the position of tight end, stands an imposing 6’6” 269 lbs.

Raiders Punter Marquette King nails an amazing 89 yard punt in air (Video)
Losing Shane Lechler might sting for some Raiders fans, but rest assure you should be happy. Your punter Marquette King is a beast.
