Jimmy, Vic & Ted are back for an offseason episode of SOTN and they talk about Raiders training camp, Carl Nassib coming out & players that could have breakout seasons. Not much to see for the media at training camp. One big note from Jon Gruden was that Henry Ruggs looked much better then he did last season and to expect some big things from him.

Took him 15 years to fight with this decision and hopefully it will lead to more players feeling ok with coming out to the public. Damon Arnette looks to have lost his starting spot from some of the top during mini-camp. The team seems very excited from what they have seen so far from Yannick Ngakoue.

The Raiders will need to sign a big name pass rusher or make a deal or find a stud in the draft. There are a lot of what ifs with running that scheme with the roster that they have.

Raiders look to end the season with some positives heading into next season

Jimmy, Ted, Vic and Tashan give their thoughts on what positives they want to see from the Raiders in the last 2 games of the season to build towards next season. Raiders are pretty much eliminated from playoff contention, but they are still alive with many things needing to go their way to get in. Derek Carr is pushing to play vs Miami, but we will see on Saturday what the team decides. Mariota looked very intriguing last week and it could be worth giving a longer look for the Hawaiian QB. On a positive note, Josh Jacobs & Darren Waller were named to the Pro Bowl. Much deserved for 2 of the Raiders big offensive weapons.

Postgame- Week 15- Carr injured in 30-27 OT Loss to the Chargers on TNF

Jimmy, Vic, Tashan and Ted break down the Raiders 30-27 OT loss to the Chargers on Thursday Night Football. Just a strange and weird football game between 2 struggling teams. Derek Carr injured his groin in the first half and Marcus Mariota came in for his season debut and gave a spark to the team. He gave the team a shot to win the game, but threw a interception late in regulation. It could be interesting to see what Mariota can do if Carr is gonna miss time with his injury. The Raiders defense continued to struggle and guys seemed to be slipping and take bad routes to defend guys. It really showed late when the Chargers beat them deep in OT to set up the Herbert game winning td plunge. The guys break down what big picture things they took away from this game. One of them is that this current draft class has pretty much been a bust and they wonder if that could put GM Mike Mayock on notice and warm up his bum. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jimmy, Vic, Ted and Tashan break down the Raiders 44-27 loss to the Colts and Defensive Coordinator Paul Guenther getting fired after the loss. The big story is that Guenther was fired a few hours after the loss and Rod Marinelli will take over as the interim defensive coordinator to finish the season. Was it Guether's schemes, was it the players signed to improve the defense that didn't or was it a combo of both? The guys think that this is a possible move to fire up the defense heading into the final 3 games of the season with their playoff hopes still alive. Getting Trent Brown and Josh Jacobs was helpful for the offense, but again the turnover bug struck. A short week for new DC Rod Marinelli as they take on the Chargers on Thursday night.
