Andrew Janocko key to Raiders’ coaching staff despite not calling plays
Andrew Janocko is the “fixer” for Klint Kubiak. While he won’t be calling plays — that responsibility will be in Kubiak’s capable hands, even as a first-time head coach — Janocko is a key element of the Las Vegas Raiders coaching staff. That may seem detrimental to Janocko’s title of offensive coordinator, however, the relationship […]
Best Raiders Statistical Seasons – Special Teams
As I was filling out my 20-0 team, which I highly recommend to those that enjoy football history, I had the idea of doing one for the Raiders.

Catching up with former Las Vegas Raiders UDFA’s
Undrafted free agents, everyone talks about them, usually more so than most rookies drafted in rounds 5-7.

The Raiders have heavily leaned on former undrafted free agents on the roster year after year. Up […]

It’s been a wild offseason for Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby, the craziest since he was drafted by the club almost a decade ago and had to go through the pre-draft process. Crosby’s offseason started a couple of weeks early, when the Raiders infamously decided to shut him down for the final two […]
