Waller's Exclusive, More Gruden, Veteran Adds and Other Reads for Real Raiders Fans
By Silver & Blog • Issue #7 • View online
Victory is the only thing that could make us forget an emotional week after Jon Gruden’s resignation. Hopefully, the team can keep it rolling in a winnable game versus the Eagles this week. They must keep the Rich Bisaccia mad and professional mentality.
Philly brings a good pass rush, tight end and mobile quarterback which could make this a setup game. However, the Raiders are at home. Last week, their offense finally showed potential with Josh Jacobs and Kenyon Drake carving up the defense. Henry Ruggs hit a couple deep strikes.
The defense also got back into the turnover column. Shoutout to Solomon Thomas for that strip sack. Vegas registered three interceptions. The Chargers also lost which put the Raiders tied for the first spot in the AFC West.
Either way, it feels nice to focus on the football product rather than the leader of the ship. Here’s my column previewing this week’s matchup and the top stories from the week.

More Dust Settles On Gruden
Mark Davis considers legal action after calling out the NFL for a Mob Hit. Rumors say the NFL is out to get him. Congress took notice and requested more emails via their own investigation into what the NFL found and how they uncovered it.
Meanwhile, Jon Gruden broke his silence. He says the truth will be set free. 49ers GM and one of Gruden’s former players John Lynch said he spoke with the exiled coach. Lynch said Gruden showed remorse.
Josh Jacobs didn’t miss his old coach yelling at every body.
DON’T FORGET: Amy Trask said the issue is bigger than email. She reported Bruce Allen many times too.

D.J. Hayden and Darqueze Dennard worked out with the Raiders. Desmond Trufant and D.J. Fluker ended up signing with the team. Trufant was released by the Saints earlier this week. Fluker was last with the Dolphins. Dennard signed with the Colts. Hayden’s work outs continued.
Seattle Pipeline: Fluker started his career with the Seahawks. Trufant played in Atlanta under Dan Quinn who has his own system ties to Gus Bradley and the Seahawks.

A Racist Roster Overhaul?
A Racist Roster Overhaul?
Yes, there’s a correlation between the front office makeup and roster demographics. The Raiders had the most Black players in the league before Gruden. TAKE THAT FOR DATA: Black Raiders players fell 15 percent over his tenure.

Key Prop: TE Dallas Goedert Over 43.5 Receiving yards
We all know the Raiders struggle covering tight ends. Dallas Goedert will be making his debut as No. 1 tight end barring injury. If Goedert goes off, it could be a long day for the Raiders.
Around the AFC West: The Chargers are on a much needed bye week after getting blown out by the Baltimore Ravens last week. Kansas City smoked Washington last Sunday and they will try to carry that momentum into a matchup versus Tennessee. Denver lost to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night.
Please let the victories continue! Thank you all for reading. If you know any other Raiders fans who want the best reads every week, please forward this email.
Sincerely,
Pete D. Camarillo
