On the Oakland Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

Football returned to the Oakland Coliseum last Friday and with the return of head coach Jon Gruden and Tony takes a look at what that means to the players and the organization. Gruden–after nine years in the broadcast booth–said his return was awesome. He got to see some recognizable faces and some old friends.

Gruden pointed out after last Friday’s game against the Detroit Lions that the job is a big responsibility and was happy to help coach the Raiders to a 345-yard offensive evening against the Detroit Lions. Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch took a hand off from quarterback Derek Carr for a 60-yard carry. Though, it was called back for holding by Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller.

Raiders back up quarterback Connor Cook got some looks as he’s expected to step in for Carr if needed. Cook threw for 11-for-19, 141 yards against Detroit in his first preseason outing.
