00:00Let's start and go back to Las Vegas DRS six and a half to win total for the Raiders.
00:07The over has the slight bit of juice at minus 138.
00:11A Vegas team that ended last year with eight wins despite firing Josh McDaniels midway
00:17through the year at the end of October legitimately on Halloween to then have Antonio Pierce take
00:24over and show some bit of life down the stretch.
00:28Will that momentum carry over from an interim head coach and Antonio Pierce now the permanent
00:34head man of the organization in Las Vegas.
00:37He has the locker room and again I don't think anybody's going to disrespect the fact that
00:41he got that head coaching job because quite frankly it was deserved.
00:44Now he's got the job.
00:45Let's see what he can do because you're only as good as the players that you have and sure
00:49if they buy in that's certainly going to help you out.
00:51You have an all pro one of the best wide receivers in football Devante Adams.
00:55You have a couple of decent players to go along with them.
00:57You probably have a decent running game a solid offensive line some good pass rusher
01:01see like you have the basis for a good football team but you're in the same division as Patrick
01:05Mahomes.
01:06You're not going to win that with Aiden O'Connor.
01:08I don't care how much you want to try to say he's going to make strides this year if he's
01:11the starter.
01:12I don't think they do much damage.
01:13And then again as we talked about Gardner Mitchell is that backup who quite frankly
01:17should be the starter if you're just interesting in winning games.
01:20And I do think you have a head coach here that is going to say to himself you know what
01:25I have the locker room here.
01:26And I can't roll out there the way I played last year the way I played it last year is
01:30the best players going to play.
01:32We're here to win football games and say Gardner Mitchell is outperforming Aiden O'Connor.
01:36But I want to get a look at Aiden O'Connor that could ruin locker room you know you know
01:40energy on day number one where they feel like this guy shouldn't be playing it doesn't give
01:44us the best chance to win because quite frankly that's how he got the job.
01:47So I'm interested to see how they play it but I don't care how they play it or who starts
01:51at quarterback.
01:52I just don't think they're going to be a factor in the AFC West.
