Raiders Preview 2020

The Raiders certainly won’t have an easy go of it early on this season. The first six games they play could be the most challenging stretch they have all year. They have games against the Panthers, Buccaneers, Bills, Saints, Chiefs and Patriots, so how well they navigate that early stretch could very well determine the direction of the season.

Quarterback Derek Carr will be leading the offense yet again, and he has a lot of returning talent on offense to work with, including running back Josh Jacobs, tight end Darren Waller and wideout Hunter Renfrow.

The Raiders also added speedy wide receiver Henry Ruggs III in the NFL Draft, along with rookie wideout Bryan Edwards. Both are listed as WR1s on the depth chart, so both will likely start Week 1 against Carolina. With Nelson Agholor coming over from Philadelphia, Carr will have several new weapons to work with this season.

Still, the Raiders were horrible in the red zone last year, and they have to get better in that area. Fortunately, they’re aware of the problem.

“We have to be able to punch the ball in when we get in the red zone, that’s got to be a killer instinct where we’re not leaving without a touchdown,” Carr said last week. “We can’t leave the red zone with no points. Field goals are good at times, but I really think we need to finish in the low red especially. There’s a glaring weakness that we had last year that we tried hard at training camp to work on.”

While the offense is focused on improving, Las Vegas should look quite a bit different on the other side of the ball this year, as well.

Defensive tackle Maliek Collins, new linebackers Cory Littleton and Nick Kwiatkoski, and safety Johnathan Abram will be leading a newly revamped defense. Kwiatkoski, especially, will be an interesting piece this year. The 27-year-old linebacker had a breakout season with the Bears last year, and he has already been named a captain in his short tenure with the team, so he could provide a real spark for the middle of this defense.

The Raiders also drafted Ohio State corner Damon Arnette in the first round this year, and he’ll be getting the start at corner. How well he does when he’s tested could also go far in determining how good this defense really is.

All in all, Las Vegas has an intriguing group of players to work with this year, and it will be interesting to see if they can finally make it to the postseason during Gruden’s tenure.
