These are your father’s Oakland Raiders – a potent offense with a dangerous defense. Derek Carr is making a name for himself, the same way Kenny Stabler and Rich Gannon did. While Carr has a long way to go to reach their elite level, he does share a similarity with them. Like Stabler and Gannon,…
For the second consecutive season, the New York Jets have started a year at 0-1. The season opener in Buffalo went about as expected. The green and white’s offense failed to generate any action while the defense was gassed and gutted by Tyrod Taylor and LeSean McCoy. On the other side, the Oakland Raiders play…
