  • Great coverage

    As someone who listens to a ton of podcasts it’s nice to have one produced by a former TV Emmy winner who knows how to produce a professional podcast

    I am a casual Raiders fan, but Jesse knows how to produce a great podcast. It’s like his TV broadcast but even better because it’s his own channel now.

    Keep it up great work

    Raider Nation this should be your place to get well produced Raiders News.

    As Al Davis would say

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AFC West Preview: How the Raiders Match Up with the Chiefs
Q: And I want to know what you think about the Chiefs and how the Raiders match up with them. Do you think they're in for another down year? Or are Mahomes and company going to rebound this season?
The discussion suggests the Chiefs will rely on a balanced yet still pass-heavy attack, with Mahomes at the core, but the defense and run game changes will shape how well they bounce back; the Raiders aim to disrupt the run and pressure the safety/corner matchups while keeping pace with a more versatile, six-in-the-box defensive look.
This Explains What the Raiders Offense Will Look Like
Q: What stands out to you about this Kubiak offense?
The offense is Shanahan-adjacent, leveraging motion, play action, and a quarterback-friendly structure, with a strong emphasis on processing and fit with the roster in Seattle and New Orleans past, and a plan to maximize the Raiders' personnel like Mendoza, Bowers, Mayer, and Jeanty.
The Raiders Finally Feel Like They’re Building Something
Q: What were your biggest takeaways from watching the Raiders in mid-May at OTA practice?
Q Myers emphasized the mobility and decision-making of Mendoza, the improved depth and talent across the secondary, and the emphasis on line play and playmakers to support a young quarterback, with caution about how quickly chemistry will develop.
Jack Bech Year 2 Breakdown: Why He Could Thrive In Klint Kubiak’s Offense
Q: What would a successful year two look like for Jack Bech?
A reasonable expectation is Bech becoming a credible starter with 600-800 receiving yards, contributing as a meaningful part of a multi-weapon receiving corps and serving as a reliable second or third target, rather than needing to be a top target this year.
Jack Bech Year 2 Breakdown: Why He Could Thrive In Klint Kubiak’s Offense
Q: What happened with Jack Bech last year, and what has changed with the new coaching staff?
Bech struggled due to a dysfunctional offense and a misaligned approach, but the new staff under Klint Kubiak should provide a clearer role and smarter usage that aligns with his strengths, potentially unlocking his upside.
