Soon after the Raiders hired Jon Gruden as the replacement for the fired Jack Del Rio, RaidersSnakePit.com cautioned that no more than 10 players were on solid ground in terms of keeping their starting jobs.

      Not if Khalil Mack and Bruce Irvin are used as rush ends almost exclusively. And, certainly not if the Raiders add a stout defensive end through the draft. There’s hope.

    I always thought Olawale was under utilized esp. last season but I never saw him as a lead blocking type of FB. I also believe Smith is cheaper. Isn’t Smith a better lead blocker thus the change?

    A ton of change is expected. Especially after a complete change in coaching and scheme.

    This will continue after seeing all the players in training camps and preseason.

    This is just the beginning of the G2 era. We will likely see plent of change next season also.

    Here is to hoping it is all for the better.
