Raiders defense hinges on Ronell Williams’ linebackers
We’ve written plenty about the need for a nose tackle and why the slot cornerback in nickel alignments is vital for Rob Leonard’s Las Vegas Raiders defense. A lot of the success (or lack thereof) the Silver & Black will have defensively hinges on those two key position groups. But much of Leonard’s aspirations hinges […]
Raiders OT Kolton Miller sees the standard higher for the OL
The Las Vegas Raiders offensive line was one of the worst in the league in 2025. It has been a topic of discussion during the offseason, with the plan to draft a QB. Rick Dennison was brought in to lead the group back to competence. It led the team to sign Tyler Linderbaum to a […]

Toughest stretches on Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 schedule
While we’ve known the Las Vegas Raiders’ opponents for next season for a while now, oftentimes, when they play certain clubs matters just as much as who they play.

When the Las Vegas Raiders added former Arkansas running back Mike Washington Jr. to the roster in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL draft, the expectation wasn’t that Washington would supplant 2025 first-round pick Ashton Jeanty as the Raiders’ lead back. Instead, the thought was that the two running backs would split the workload […]
