open thread Greetings Isaiah Johnson Oakland Raiders Jersey , Raider Nation! The Great Raiderdamus welcomes you to the very first regular season game of 2018 for the Oakland Raiders, led by mercurial head coach Jon Gruden. Tonight they’ll take on the Rams, who are one of the best teams in the NFL on paper. We’ve seen plenty of paper champions fall apart in the past, but will the Rams be another?With the trade of Khalil Mack, the team now lives and dies with Derek Carr. And if we consider the Raiders’ performance in the playoffs without Carr, it always did anyway. The Rams have a talented young quarterback in Jared Goff and a high-priced defense featuring Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh, Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib.Can the Raiders get the second Gruden Era off to a winning start in front of an always-rabid home crowd?Game details:Location: Oakland-Alameda Country Coliseuem, Oakland CAGame time: Monday 7:20 pm Pacific (10:20 pm ET)TV: ESPNOnline streaming: NFL Game PassRadio: Bay Area: 95.7 The Game, 98.5 KFOX (Brent Musberger, Lincoln Kennedy) | Full listingsAnnouncers: Booth: Joe Tessitore, Jason Witten and Booger McFarland.

PDTShareTweetShareShare2019 NFL Draft: Raiders draft Alabama RB Josh Jacobs Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsWith the 24th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Raiders selected Alabama running back Josh Jacobs. The consensus top running back in the draft will step-in as Marshawn Lynch’s replacement in Oakland, and gives Jon Gruden a three down back that can run between the tackles, catch passes, and block at a high level. Mike Mayock’s former coworker Daniel Jeremiah had Jacobs as his 8th overall prospect in the draft, so the Silver & Black got good value at 24 overall. Jacobs split carries at Alabama, but that is also a good thing because he has less tread on his tires with just 251 carries in three seasons. Jacobs rushed for 640 yards and 11 touchdowns this past season with the Crimson Tide averaging 5.3 yards per carry. The addition of Jacobs gives Gruden another dynamic weapon, one that should complement Jalen Richard nicely. The Silver & Black will next select with the 27th overall pick.
