On the Raiders podcast with Joe, former 49ers tight end Delanie Walker will be a factor for the Tennessee Titans. Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio says he’s big enough to cause problems for safeties and linebackers. Del Rio said he has a lot of respect for Walker and that it’s hard to put a corner on him.

In the game against the Atlanta Falcons the Raiders allowed the Falcons 180 yards, and ten catches to three tight ends, Jacob Tamme, Austin Hooper, and Levine Toilolo. The Raiders have had trouble covering tight ends going back to last season except when Raider linebacker Neiron Ball was in the line up. Ball is now on the injured reserve list for the rest of this season.
