Oakland Raiders to run a no-huddle offense with Derek Carr
When the Oakland Raiders hired Bill Musgrave as their new offensive coordinator, many were disappointed. After rumors that Marc Trestman was a top candidate, the name Musgrave just didn’t invoke much excitement. Especially because many of his offenses were known for being, well, bland. A lot of running without much of a passing game. Though with that being said, most coaches would...

Evaluating DeMarco Murray's fantasy football value heading into 2015
At this time, one of the biggest names on the free agent market year this year is going to be DeMarco Murray. Dallas is going to have a hard time signing their number one priority in Dez Bryant, getting more help on defense, AND signing Murray. Murray, who is 26, is coming off his best season in the NFL where he totaled over 2200 yards and 13 touchdowns following up a strong...

Should the Oakland Raiders cut Tyvon Branch?
The Oakland Raiders desperately need to get younger at the safety positions. Charles Woodson is likely to return but will be turning 39 this season. While he continues to defy the logic of age, he simply cannot continue playing forever. At the other safety position, Tyvon Branch is thought of as a good starter but he has missed the majority of the past two seasons with injuries....

Should the Raiders look into getting a new Carr?
The Oakland Raiders drafted quarterback Derek Carr in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft. We weren’t supposed to know how Carr would play in the NFL until at least this season, but after an impressive offseason and preseason, Carr won the starting job by week one. Fast forward seventeen weeks and Carr had arguably the best season of any rookie quarterback and established himself...

The Raiders’ current trio of Antonio Smith, Justin Ellis, and Pat Sims at defensive tackle is underwhelming. On top of that, Smith is going into an age 34 contract year, while Sims is a free agent this off-season. Ellis has the best long-term potential, as he was a 4th round rookie in 2014 and has 3 three years on his deal, but he still graded out slightly...

There aren’t many blemishes on Tom Brady’s legendary resume, and he’s obviously in the conversation about the greatest quarterbacks ever.

For the Raiders, the Jack Del Rio hire made perfect sense
The Oakland Raiders have a history of hiring young head coaches with very little previous experience in that role. From Lane Kiffin to Dennis Allen, this is a strategy that has not paid off for the most part.
