nice collab. Kurt is a wealth of knowledge. As a die hard football fan, if you get the chance to hear a Gold Jacket speak, you take that opportunity. Well done all sides. Thank you.
Man this was truly special. Thanks for getting Warner again to do this spotlight on the Raiders. This is a fine example that before the draft picks, before the FAs, before the contracts, there is a boatload of conceptual work that goes into each play just for a CHANCE to get a positive result. To bring it back to Warner, it's nice that he's kept up with the game these past 10 plus years with all the changes it's brought along since he left. Most guys don't do that, but he really is about appreciating the game, and all the intricacies that stem from it, and evolve.
Thanks TLD! Yes, and some great examples of multiple ways to teach concepts. Very challenging to know when the coach should take more control, or let the players free style a bit etc. Yeah, Kurt is awesome. What I've learned from talking to him is he's a genuine fan and student of the game, you can hear how excited he gets when he starts diving in.
The AFC west is going to be a brutal division this year. A lot of talent on those 4 teams. They will be fun games to watch when they are playing within their division.
@@rollen901 As a Raiders fan, we've had strong offenses for like 7 of our last 10 years, from Tom Cable and Hue Jackson to Al Saunders (2 yrs of top 10 offense), then during one year under Del Rio with his first OC Bill Musgrave (1 yr of top 10 offense), Then outside of the first year when Gruden traded a third of the team's talent, we've been top 10 almost every year under Gruden or about 11th. You know what keeps the Raiders from being a consistent dominance in the AFC West??? Our trash defense for almost 2 Decades. Raiders have barely cracked top 15, let alone top 20 in defense within the last 2 decades, and that is why Derek Carr has gotten so much heat, because he always has to pull off comebacks for us to win, and when he can't, half the fanbase wants to blame it all on him. If Raiders don't pair this strong offense with a strong defense, we will be 3rd or 4th within the Division, because all the teams in the AFC West have a good offense, but the Broncos and Chargers clearly have defenses, and the Chiefs have a better defense then ours.
@@Eastra3 I think the Raiders have a little bit more of a home field advantage now though in Vegas. I was at a few games last year and it gets pretty damn loud in Allgiant.
13:50 yeah just a great route. My coaching point would to be to stay on that inside hip and trust your speed to get back in phase on the wheel. Tough cause film tells you the wheel is coming but that double stick route...... Nasty
At some point you’re gonna take an L because offense knows what it is doing and you’re reacting. You just hope pass rush gets there and that a couple plays go your way.
We talked about it too, no way is Howard anticipating Renfrow has this much time to run all this shit. After 3 moves there's no way he could do a 4th... right..?
7:12 Gotta collision the Slot and TE in this concept to buy time for the backers to get back in the underneath passing lanes. But as a defense you gotta do your work early and win in running situations to lower the threat of the run game. Overall you have to throw off the timing of these plays and force the QB to come off that first read allowing the defense to get in passing windows.
I always look forward to Saturdays and your next video breakdown, but when I saw that Kurt Warner was going to be on this one and that it was about the Raiders offense, I thought, "Giddey-up!" I was not disappointed. Great work, Sir Alex!
He needs all the recognition! Nobody really mentions how he stepped up after we lost Ruggs and Waller was injured. He was one of the MVPs of last season. He will prob lose some touches with Waller healthy and Adam's in the mix, but he's such a clutch receiver to have in the spread. As long as our o line shows up we will be so good with the receiver core this year! I am so excited
Carr with a legit X (who can be anything and will be moved around often) is going to be fun to watch. Best division to watch even if it doesn’t end up being the best. Mahomes, Herbert, Carr, Wilson.
Renfrow has a few nicknames, but I like to call him filthy money. His route running is absolutely filthy (good) and everyone knows how money his hands are.
1st time viewer = new subscriber. I love film breakdowns! I find it infinitely fascinating, especially when players break the mold or utilize their knowledge/intelligence/creativity, technical skills, and/or athletic abilities to transcend the known limits of their positions! I've been a Raider fan since age 5 and was blessed with seeing the Raiders win a couple of Superbowls when I was a kid, wore Raiders player's numbers throughout Pop Warner and High School Football, and I have suffered along with the team through years of mediocrity, subpar coaching, player performances and overall dysfunction of my favorite franchise for far too long!!! But thank God, we have the best Management Team, Head Coach, Coaching Staff and Players from top to bottom that the Raiders have had in eons!!! AND I can't wait to see the Raiders win Superbowls, again!!! I absolutely love Carr!!! One of my favorite memories was dancing, screaming, stomping my feet and clapping my hands to cheer on the Raiders Defense for Carr's 1st career win vs the playoff bound Chiefs in Oakland on TNF in the pouring rain and his leadership, poise and his clutch game winning touchdown drive won me over that night and I have been a huge fan of his ever since, unfortunately, the organization hadn't provided him with a complete team = Coaching Staff and Players that was equivalent to his abilities, they had always been deficient in at least one, usually 2 or 3 aspects of the game and had lacked quality depth behind the starters, but all of that has changed... and I Am Loving It!!! Looking forward to more quality content from you! Thank You! Just Win Baby... Just Win, the Superbowl, Baby!!! HAHAHA RN4L
Thanks Jeff! I couldn't agree more brother, also I was there at that Chiefs game. Absolutely the time of my life. I'm born and raised in Oakland and have been crushed ever since they left. Hope the boys show out this year!
Man, loved the in depth breakdown! The Raiders are definetly going to feast next season. Also, how awesome is it that you can get Kurt Warner for these?
The defense will be a lot better, (schematically). Patrick Graham the DC is an awesome defense play caller and he’ll put everyone in the best place to make a play. Everyone ripped our Cover 3 shell defense to shreds because of how predictable it was. Now it won’t be so easy for Herbert, Mahomes, Wilson etc. ⚪️☠️⚫️
Cap it’s a typical option slot route he’s been doing that since Clemson when he uses picks( illegal) to get open in short areas. Alabama should have won that naty outright RTR!!
I feel like the raiders get so neglected and disrespected even tho they improved the most out of any team in the west. Thank you for making a video on them
@@jarlwhiterun7478 they got an elite edge rusher chandler jones and the best WR in the league (also brought in more DL depth). They brought in basically a head office and a new head coach. A really good linebacker in Jaylen Brown. and brought in a lot of defensive help.
Chargers brought in like 3 players and 1 of them is washed and injury prone and another isn't even a top 15 TE in the league. Also all the broncos did was bring in Russ and Gregory
Honestly for a team like the Raiders and adding a coach like Josh McDaniels from my favorite team sadly to their system this a team that ball out and Derek Carr might finally have a statistic season and might be an MVP candidate or better yet win the the MVP. Their defensive side of the ball is good too especially adding Chandler Jones as their edge rusher. This is could be a time we could see the Raiders make their Super Bowl run in 11 years and I think Mahomes and the Chiefs better watch out facing this team this upcoming season
As a season ticket holder, I hope so. The better they do, the more I sell my tickets for. With that said, I don't think they can take the division from the Chiefs yet.
Hunter Renfrow= The new slot king. In the mold of Edleman and others, he uses his quickness and wiggle to create separation. If other receivers want to improve their route running, they should study Devante Adams and Hunter Renfrow! They are amazing! As a Dolphin fan I hope Tyreek and Jalen take note here, they could actually get better using more deception like Hunter and Devante.
Renfrow* but I totally agree. I like that he brought up he preseason clip against Ramsey. That was talked about alot at the time, and Jalen was sort of pissed/butthurt...but Mcvay and Kupp were drooling. It came out about halfway through the year(while Kupp was setting his pace to have the record breaking year that he did) that he himself attributed alot of his increased success to him and Mcvay sitting down to study nothing but Renfrow tape on these specific routes(usually redzone). If you go back, and know what you're looking for, its REALLY apparent just how much Kupp took from the Book of Renfrow Route Running and applied to his game this year. And obviously, as a super talented wr himself, and the clear #1 on his team volume-wise(something Renfrow will likely never be able to say), he literally became the most productive wr in the league. Hunter is the best wr in the league, no one can change my mind.
@@jarlwhiterun7478 Thank you for the correction. You must have a hard job, the whole internet is littered with mispelled names and incorrect English! :)
@@birish21 lol those are all some nice players but considering Hobbs youth and Moehrig’s inexperience I’m not buying them as proof of the D being strong. Mullen hasn’t proven he can stay healthy and I have seen no evidence whatsoever that he can be true CB1 for an entire season. Ya Sin has never proven he’s a premier starter and neither has Averett. The best standout guy from last year who wasn’t a rookie was Casey Hayward and he’s not on the team anymore. So yeah, shout all the names you want. My point still stands: this defense has a lot of question marks.
@@julianburrell5058 They have a lot of young ascending players on defense many of whom were high draft picks. They have more than enough talent to have a good young defense. The one unit that scares most of us is o-line if they can manage that they should be one of the better teams in the league.
@@jameshannagan4256 I'm still not buying it. Like I said in the other response: Some nice pieces but nothing that really jumps out at me aside from the pass rush. The needed a true CB1 and Safety and failed to attack those positions with big names in free agency or the draft. I could see them in the post season between their talent on offense and the expanded format. But between their thin O Line and lack of playmakers in the secondary, I doubt a deep playoff run is in the cards.
Josh McDaniels I’m not too worried about. He executed a pretty good offense last year and that was with a supporting team nowhere near Raiders. Apparently tho he’s not doing the whole Patriots Mk2 thing tho but we’ll see. As for OL we added some pieces to it so hopefully with a better OL coach as well, we’ll see improvement
He should flourish with McDaniel favoring a power running game. As long as the O-line blocks well for runs he should really punch through openings and get big yardage even though he may not get too many touches.
Appreciate you both! Alex you are truly at the top of the football analysis video game and Kurt appreciate the insight from someone who’s lived it! Alex could you please share your mic info with Kurt 😂 not sure if maybe it’s just lag but sounds like he needs an upgrade
They are defiantly a sleeper to make a strong push for the playoffs no one saw the bengals making it then Chase happened the Raiders have Adams an a very underrated Carr so I wouldn’t be shocked if they make an impact
Miss Kurt here in AZ Will always b thankful for him and the late Dennis Green (R.I.P.) for changing the culture here in the desert and nearly leading the team to a close SB win 😕😕😟 EDIT: the raiders could be that sleeper team that jus may make some noise this season or seasons end to sneak into the playoffs n yeah 🤷🏽♂️ AFC West gonna b a bloodbath this year
Ok , I'm a Bolts fan/Raiderhater , but it's nice to see people talking about a team other than the Chiefs !!!! Good luck LV , I hope you have a better year than KC , but not a better year than the Chargers !!!!!
When Arizona got Hopkins, they went from the 17th ranked scoring offense to the 13th, and the 21st ranked yards per game to the 6th. When Cincinnati got Chase, they went from: Scoring: 28th to 7th YPG: 28th to 13th When Buffalo got Stefon Diggs, they went from: Scoring: 23rd to 2nd YPG: 24th to 2nd Last year the raiders were 18th in scoring and 11th in YPG, but I’d guess that they’ll be easily top 10 in both of those categories… they’ll probably have regression next season, but I expect a big boom this year, nearly 5000 passing yards from carr and 35-40 TDs, and their running game is gonna surprise as well
Awesome episode. Always love to see Kurt join you on the show. Kurt ought to get a decent usb microphone. Not much required to set up and it would make the audio quality much clearer
Think the thing to watch for isn't necessarily Carr throwing more TDs, its how they get them. If you see a lot of guys in stride untouched, thats when you realize this offense will be fully in sync. McDaniels unlike Gruden has a plan for every opponent.
Been hearing HOF Kurt Talk about Carr being at his best when he's aggressive for years and i ain't tired of hearing that yet, i hope DC hears be aggressive in his sleep every night before game days untill his careers over because we all know he's cold blooded when he plays that way.
This is our year. I have been a huge fan of Derek Carr since 2014 day 1 with the team. He has had so many things to work through with this team and given everything he has to the Raiders. He has said he never wants to play with another team. When Derek has confidence and plays aggressive he's a top tier QB. He's surrounded by top tier weapons he trusts especially Adams his best friend from college where the last time they played together had a 5,000+ yard season. He's more of pocket passer in a league where mobile qbs (who can run like a WR or RB) are considered the way to go. But the QBs who last the longest are guys like Brady and Rodgers so I'm fine with my qb not running all over the field
I’ve been watching Kurt’s channel since he started RUclips. I think it’s so funny how his mic is still messed up. Everyone has told him in the comments but it doesn’t get fixed.
They’re going to be the 2010s chargers. Great weapons offensively but no online whatsoever and a meh defense that can only rush the passer. They’re going to be super inconsistent. I’m expecting a lot of stalled drives and a bunch of huge plays that will lead to an average offense. Trust me I’ve seen it first hand for a decade. Car is good but not as good as rivers was and he couldn’t make a bad o line work constantly. They’ll probably be about the same as last year but the schedule is harder so I’d knock a win or 2 off
Sorry just seeing this now... I was hoping you guys addressed the possibility of there being serious offensive line issues and how that affects what they're trying to do, and what the Raiders would do to deal with that issue.
@@jonathanm8273 I haven't played QB since Optimus, Lol. I speak from my experience as a former coach and Defensive back that played 8 years of football on defense.
@@AlexRollinsNFL Yeah, I heard from media and fans. Just never really studied him. I feel like an NFL QB can make that throw. Safety on the opposite hash and no collision. I mean it does depend on his progression but it looks like he staring it down or at least on that side of the field looking for the hitch.
@@mroverdose14 As Kurt said it's hitch to seam to Juke (but that's still depending on coverage). In my honest opinion I don't think Carr ever fully recovered mentally from his 2016 injury. You can watch his footwork, it's never been the same since
The Raiders should score a lot of points this year, but I think they will also allow a lot. I’m also not sold on their line blocking for either pass or run; they just have so much there with their skill-position guys that they will score some even when they can’t protect. I see this team being in a lot of shootouts. I would say they could win as few as seven games, or as many as twelve, or pretty much any number in between. Health, turnovers, and red zone performance will be huge. This feels like a team that will be quite susceptible to luck, both good and bad.

I think they would be a legit contender for a SB run I they were in the NFC, but there sure is a lot of talent in the AFC now.
Man I'm with u all the way go raiders
The Raiders are forcing Carr to learn so many schemes via so many new coaches that it must be training him to be a skilled coach.

@@julianburrell5058 They have a lot of young ascending players on defense many of whom were high draft picks. They have more than enough talent to have a good young defense. The one unit that scares most of us is o-line if they can manage that they should be one of the better teams in the league.
@@jameshannagan4256 I'm still not buying it. Like I said in the other response: Some nice pieces but nothing that really jumps out at me aside from the pass rush. The needed a true CB1 and Safety and failed to attack those positions with big names in free agency or the draft.
I could see them in the post season between their talent on offense and the expanded format. But between their thin O Line and lack of playmakers in the secondary, I doubt a deep playoff run is in the cards.
I love their skill positions a lot. But the OL and Josh McDaniels concern me
Yup hopefully the line can hold their own we'll see.
The line improved throughout the year early on you had leatherwood going against players like tj watt and other star pass rushers.
Josh McDaniels I’m not too worried about. He executed a pretty good offense last year and that was with a supporting team nowhere near Raiders. Apparently tho he’s not doing the whole Patriots Mk2 thing tho but we’ll see. As for OL we added some pieces to it so hopefully with a better OL coach as well, we’ll see improvement
Josh situation in Denver made him a better coach. I hate him but I doubt he lets his ego kill his second chance. Raiders will be great
I try not to think about the OLine and how it's the one thing that can completely derail our season. I'm not even worried about the D for once.
Nice video!! Very instructive!!
Thanks Darryl!
They need to work on that o-line tho. That O-line needs to be solidified.
So hyped for this season, the AFC West is gonna be fire.
You’ve got Kurt Warner on your channel?! Congratulations
Thanks Joey!
Kurt gotta get some head phones, lol. Great break down
🤣🤣 Thanks OD
I’m calling it before it happens, raiders are super bowl champions this season
Let's not forget Josh Jacobs will now face lighter boxes. He may get a 1000 yards easy.
He should flourish with McDaniel favoring a power running game. As long as the O-line blocks well for runs he should really punch through openings and get big yardage even though he may not get too many touches.
Appreciate you both! Alex you are truly at the top of the football analysis video game and Kurt appreciate the insight from someone who’s lived it! Alex could you please share your mic info with Kurt 😂 not sure if maybe it’s just lag but sounds like he needs an upgrade
Thank you brother! Trust me you're not the first to mention in.. I'll do my best hah
They are defiantly a sleeper to make a strong push for the playoffs no one saw the bengals making it then Chase happened the Raiders have Adams an a very underrated Carr so I wouldn’t be shocked if they make an impact
They are defiant with how defiantly they are!
This was AWESOME!!!
Great episode Alex!
Thank you!!
Miss Kurt here in AZ
Will always b thankful for him and the late Dennis Green (R.I.P.) for changing the culture here in the desert and nearly leading the team to a close SB win 😕😕😟
EDIT: the raiders could be that sleeper team that jus may make some noise this season or seasons end to sneak into the playoffs n yeah 🤷🏽♂️ AFC West gonna b a bloodbath this year
Best SB ever imo
That was such a fun SB most of us that had no stake in the game were pulling hard for the Cards.
Ok , I'm a Bolts fan/Raiderhater , but it's nice to see people talking about a team other than the Chiefs !!!! Good luck LV , I hope you have a better year than KC , but not a better year than the Chargers !!!!!
When Arizona got Hopkins, they went from the 17th ranked scoring offense to the 13th, and the 21st ranked yards per game to the 6th.
When Cincinnati got Chase, they went from:
Scoring: 28th to 7th
YPG: 28th to 13th
When Buffalo got Stefon Diggs, they went from:
Scoring: 23rd to 2nd
YPG: 24th to 2nd
Last year the raiders were 18th in scoring and 11th in YPG, but I’d guess that they’ll be easily top 10 in both of those categories… they’ll probably have regression next season, but I expect a big boom this year, nearly 5000 passing yards from carr and 35-40 TDs, and their running game is gonna surprise as well
THIS GUY GETS IT !!
defenses will be forced to play 7 db's, and just when they think they got them covered, Jacobs will cut between two lb's like butter
And if Jacobs is running on all cylinders, defenses are going to be demoralized.
Loved this one Alex, great video
Thank you Danny!
Incredible content
Thank you!
Nice video
Awesome episode. Always love to see Kurt join you on the show. Kurt ought to get a decent usb microphone. Not much required to set up and it would make the audio quality much clearer
Thanks Greg! Yeah.. I definitely agree
Thanks for the Raiders video
You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.
we out here
Think the thing to watch for isn't necessarily Carr throwing more TDs, its how they get them. If you see a lot of guys in stride untouched, thats when you realize this offense will be fully in sync. McDaniels unlike Gruden has a plan for every opponent.
Been hearing HOF Kurt Talk about Carr being at his best when he's aggressive for years and i ain't tired of hearing that yet, i hope DC hears be aggressive in his sleep every night before game days untill his careers over because we all know he's cold blooded when he plays that way.
His 2016 film shows that he's at his best when he's playing vertically. I think we'll see that come back this season
This is our year. I have been a huge fan of Derek Carr since 2014 day 1 with the team. He has had so many things to work through with this team and given everything he has to the Raiders. He has said he never wants to play with another team. When Derek has confidence and plays aggressive he's a top tier QB. He's surrounded by top tier weapons he trusts especially Adams his best friend from college where the last time they played together had a 5,000+ yard season. He's more of pocket passer in a league where mobile qbs (who can run like a WR or RB) are considered the way to go. But the QBs who last the longest are guys like Brady and Rodgers so I'm fine with my qb not running all over the field
Me too! Born and raised in Oakland, 2016 was such a beautiful time
😂
WE READDDY!!!! WE REAAAAAADYYYYY FOR Y'AAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL
I'm glad I stumbled across you YT channel.. definitely subbing brother. 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️
Thanks brother!!
I’ve been watching Kurt’s channel since he started RUclips. I think it’s so funny how his mic is still messed up. Everyone has told him in the comments but it doesn’t get fixed.
They’re going to be the 2010s chargers. Great weapons offensively but no online whatsoever and a meh defense that can only rush the passer. They’re going to be super inconsistent. I’m expecting a lot of stalled drives and a bunch of huge plays that will lead to an average offense. Trust me I’ve seen it first hand for a decade. Car is good but not as good as rivers was and he couldn’t make a bad o line work constantly. They’ll probably be about the same as last year but the schedule is harder so I’d knock a win or 2 off
They have a sorry qb
Excellent thank you!
If the Raiders sign Odell during the season, this Raiders offense has serious "greatest show on turf" vibes.
I don't think they have the cap space to add another super star. I don't know that for sure, but they spent some money this year.
what theee.... the 2 GOATS
Kurt Warner a great Football mind
Great episode, Kurt Warner is awesome. Someone get that man a better mic though!
Newly subscribed FOSTER MOREAU IS A HUGE THREAT AT TIGHT END ALSO,AND KENYAN DRAKE IS VASTLY UNDERATED
Thanks brother, love it! Been waiting for Moreau to take that next step
What about josh jacobs, good rb imo also in that offense
Fersure, I guess this was kind of Carr focused so we didn't really get to Jacobs, but he's legit
Sorry just seeing this now...
I was hoping you guys addressed the possibility of there being serious offensive line issues and how that affects what they're trying to do, and what the Raiders would do to deal with that issue.
Great show
Thanks John!
You just got a new subber 🤩
People are sleeping on the Raiders way too much. That roster is mostly stacked AF. They will make the playoffs.
9:56, I'm surprised he didn't hit the seam. They in cover 3 and didn't get a great collision on the top Seam. That's open!
Yeah im sure you would have hit it, champ
@@jonathanm8273 I haven't played QB since Optimus, Lol.
I speak from my experience as a former coach and Defensive back that played 8 years of football on defense.
Carr's biggest flaw is his lack of aggression, dude has a seriously underrated arm but he gets too comfortable attacking underneath
@@AlexRollinsNFL Yeah, I heard from media and fans. Just never really studied him. I feel like an NFL QB can make that throw. Safety on the opposite hash and no collision. I mean it does depend on his progression but it looks like he staring it down or at least on that side of the field looking for the hitch.
@@mroverdose14 As Kurt said it's hitch to seam to Juke (but that's still depending on coverage). In my honest opinion I don't think Carr ever fully recovered mentally from his 2016 injury. You can watch his footwork, it's never been the same since
Warner is a smart cat .
Props for having him on but that audio from his end isnt the best.
The Raiders should score a lot of points this year, but I think they will also allow a lot. I’m also not sold on their line blocking for either pass or run; they just have so much there with their skill-position guys that they will score some even when they can’t protect.
I see this team being in a lot of shootouts. I would say they could win as few as seven games, or as many as twelve, or pretty much any number in between. Health, turnovers, and red zone performance will be huge. This feels like a team that will be quite susceptible to luck, both good and bad.
Missed out a lot of names both on offense and defense
Loving your deep dives on these offenses Alex. Us Dynasty FF degenerates with no lives especially enjoy these
Haha, I'm right there with you brother, just drafted a start up a few weeks ago
be back in week 8 when raiders are in turmoil and everyone remembers why mcdaniels hasnt been a head coach in a decade
Kurt can break it down.
Common Alex Rollins W
Hah thanks brother!
