It was that kind of afternoon for the Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell (4) is sacked by the Minnesota Vikings linebacker Pat Jones III (91) in the first half at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sun Dec 10, 2023 (AP News photo)

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 Las Vegas Raiders (5-8) quarterback Aidan O’Connell was on the run all day and couldn’t get any offense going 21-32 for 171 yards had a long day trying to find someone to throw too but the Minnesota Vikings (7-6) pass rush was just too much as O’Connell’s take away from this game was seeing too much purple.

#2 The 3-0 shutout of the Raiders was the lowest score since the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Miami Dolphins 3-0 on Nov 26, 2007 that’s 16 years it’s something that just doesn’t happen to often.

#3 The Vikings had 230 total offensive yards and the Raiders had 201 yards. In a game like this was this a matter of O’Connell just couldn’t move the offensive down field or the Vikings defense just stopped the Raiders even inside the red zone.

#4 The only scoring of the game was when Vikings quarterback Joshua Dobbs was replaced by Nick Mullens in the fourth quarter who threw a 22 yard completion to wide receiver Jordan Addison. With the ball at the Raiders 20 Vikings kicker Greg Joseph booted a 36 yard field goal that would be the eventual game winner.

#5 The Raiders get another chance to recover it’ll be a quick turn around from Sunday’s game as they host the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers have struggled they have lost three of their last four games and lost their last game against the Denver Broncos 24-7. It’s prime time TV Thursday Night Football at Allegiant Stadium do the Raiders have that home field advantage or will this be another game where the Chargers and Raiders will be trying to scratch out a win.

On the Raiders podcast with Tony R:

#1 Tony offensively the Raiders just couldn’t get anything going against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field in Detroit. The Raiders were able to get a touchdown in each of the second and third quarters but it was not enough.

#2 Talk about Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo who scrambled all night and was sacked six times. Was this from holding on the ball too long or not getting enough protection.

#3 Running back Josh Jacobs carried for 61 yards and picked up a touchdown but didn’t get enough chances to do any damage.

#4 Talk about Davante Adams who had been complaining about not getting enough touches. On receiving he caught one pass for 11 yards and didn’t score a touchdown. Adams got angry and threw his helmet. He’s been frustrated in most of these Raider loses.

#5 Tony, Talk about the New York Giants coming in next. They’ve gone through two quarterbacks Daniel Jones has a neck injury and back up quarterback Tyrod Taylor has a rib cage injury. The Giants much like the Raiders are suffering and come into Allegiant Stadium with a 2-6 record. Kickoff for this Sun Nov 5th at 1:25pm PT. How do you see this match up?

On the LV Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 The Las Vegas Raiders (3-3) and head coach Josh McDaniels says he’s received encouraging news that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is getting better from his back injury he got last Sunday against the New England Patriots and had to leave the game.

#2 Garoppolo had to leave the game at half time in an ambulance to get his back checked out. According to McDaniels the back has improved and said that the Raiders will try and do all the right things before they move forward with Garoppolo.

#3 Garoppolo might still have to sit out against the Chicago Bears and he’ll be replaced by back up quarterback Brian Hoyer.

#4 Tony, just wanted to get your impressions of the job Hoyer did in the second half of the game throwing 102 yards and going 6 for 10 in passing.

#5 The Bears (1-5) have been struggling they lost their last game to the Minnesota Vikings 19-13. The Bears used quarterbacks Tyson Bagent and Justin Fields but just couldn’t get by the Vikings. How do you see this match up in Chicago for the Raiders this Sunday at 10:00AM PT?

#4 The Packers were ahead 13-10 into the fourth quarter and the Raiders got a crucial touchdown on a two yard carry by Josh Jacobs that held up for the four point win.

On the Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Tony, two weeks ago the Las Vegas Raiders were collapsing they were on a five game losing streak with them scheduled to start a two game road trip in Denver and Seattle all looked bleak until they had break out games resulting in overtime wins in Denver and Seattle.

#2 Tony, when you saw Raiders quarterback Derek Carr nearly broke down after the game after a home loss to the Indianapolis Colts was that a moment of reckoning for Carr and the Raiders that they mad and they weren’t going to take it anymore?

#3 Also owner Mark Davis had head coach Josh McDaniels back after the fifth straight loss and fans calling for his head. Was it a matter of Davis is not going to fire McDaniels and be on the hook for the rest of his salary or he still had faith in McDaniels to persevere through those tough times.

#4 Tony, the Raiders as now have no chance of making the post season at 4-7. The Raiders would have to win the rest of their games and finish 10-7 that’s six consecutive more games and wins to get some daylight.

#5 Tony, Raiders and Chargers as the Raiders return to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to face the Los Angeles Chargers (6-5). The Chargers just got by the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday 25-24. How do you see the outcome between these two teams.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: Getting to the bottom of the real reason why Brady and Gronk were not signed by Raiders

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Brady was seriously interested in joining the 2020 Las Vegas Raiders until former head coach Jon Gruden vetoed any notion of the idea of Brady coming to Vegas. (AP News file photo)

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Tony, Las Vegas Raiders owner Marc Davis said involving a past move to get quarterback Tom Brady and tight end Rob Gronkowski was something he had no knowledge about.

#2 UFC president Dana White tried to bargain the idea but then Raiders head coach Jon Gruden shut down the deal and said it was not happening. Davis said yesterday quote “I don’t know man” regarding any deal for Brady or Gronkowski.

#3 White said that Brady was ready to be quarterback in Las Vegas for the 2020 season but Gruden for no given reason didn’t want either Brady or Gronkowski coming to Vegas. White said that Brady and Gronkowski were ready to sign with the Raiders and maybe the dynamic of the Raiders would have changed.

#4 Brady was eager and ready to play for the former Bay Area team as Brady comes from San Mateo and was excited about the idea and Gronkowski was ready for it too. If you had to speculate do you think jealousy played a part that had Gruden keep them out?

#5 The Raiders host Brady and Gronkowski’s former team the New England Patriots this Friday night and there is talk that the Raiders are about to release running back Kenyan Drake, Drake has 545 yards and three touchdowns in scrimmage and scouting reports say at 28 years old he’s got a lot of football left in him. Drake has a duel skillset in the running and passing game wouldn’t they Raiders need someone with that kind of talent?

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: Expect Raiders to use different backs this season

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (28) in camp on Thu Jul 21, 2022 at the Raiders training facility in Henderson NV got some touches last Thu Aug 4, 2022 in the Hall of Fame Game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Raiders host the Minnesota Vikings on Sun Aug 14, 2022 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas (AP file photo)

On the Raiders podcast with Tony R:

The Raiders running back Josh Jacobs was designed by former Raider head coach Jon Gruden to be that first second down back and have quarterback Derek Carr throw on third down and open up the pass.

When Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels was using multiple backs to catch passes out of the backfield McDaniels had different backs when he was offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots.

Your going to see a lot of touches from Jacobs in these next three pre season games. If the Raiders decide to keep him they don’t have to pay him a bunch and if they don’t want to keep him and they think they can get that job done with a lower paycheck I could see Jacobs being traded by the Raiders.
