That was a really good interview which focused on the most important questions facing the Raiders in a detailed manner, good format well done.

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

Depending on the situation, they could play Wilkins and Tyree inside, and Crosby and Koonce on the edges. Yikes!

[@user-zk3tg1ws4q]

I see Tyree at DT on sure passing downs. Need to teach him to use his long arms to tip passes and cause overthrown that lead to ints

[@raiderdevellian5752]

I'd definitely play Tyree inside a lot tbis year while we continue to develop him

[@user-zk3tg1ws4q]

Graham has said that they want to play him inside so that he can learn how to use his hands in close quarters

[@user-zk3tg1ws4q]

Remember that Dak Prescott was a 4th round pick. He is now a top 10 Qb. AOC is gonna surprise a lot of people. Very smart/hard worker accurate passer with leadership skills

[@seanpickard7059]

I see what you are saying, but Dak inherited the best O line in football in 2016 and a monster in Zeke! I know the raiders O line is solid and mostly underrated by a lot of pundits and talking heads, but as a die hard raider fan I hope you are right! RRRRRRRAAAAAIIIIIIDDDDDEEEEERRRRSSSSSS!!!!!

[@ScottOsborne]

Great interview. Love Trevor’s takes on the Raiders. I feel that they are honest and well thought out.

[@michaelturner3761]

Great analysis enjoyed the show

ONE NATION UNDER AL🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@RNL-kg1zb]

The way I see it, I think AP did the smartest thing he could do at the qb position. Both QBs together can get us to the playoffs. If either one goes down along the way we’re in good hands. 💯 on AP!

[@brett4948]

Trevor Sikkema is awesome, great move getting him on

[@1R8Rnatn]

Great point about Aiden coming in as a day three pick. Hondo Carpenter has said he spoke with a GM in the league and asked him about Aiden’s draft status to which the GM (no name given) said he was slated to go in the first round if he declared a year earlier. Aiden’s last year fell apart with the death of his brother mid season and there was a HC change at the beginning of the season so there was a lot of unfamiliarity that hurt his numbers. This caused him to drop but falling in the forth round we got a steal this GM said.

[@G360LIVE]

Who's Aiden? We have a QB named Aidan O'Connell, but we don't have anyone named Aiden.😁

[@zZeppelinx]

Big fan of Trevor. You guys should get him on more lol.

[@1R8Rnatn]

Nah ya got it all wrong. You guys aren’t listening to Gunther when he does his press conferences. PG said he only moved him inside so he can learn to use his hands better. He also said they do want to move him back to the edge once he develops more. Your opinions are yours, but facts is facts..

[@shortestwidereceiver]

You mean Graham big dog

[@sinoverlord409]

Word 😆. I was like who the fck is Gunther?

[@RNL-kg1zb]

Exactly what he said

[@RNL-kg1zb]

My only concern with Tyree is his get off. But once he gets going he covers a lot of ground with one stride.

[@user-zk3tg1ws4q]

I expect him to play inside on sure passing downs and rotate at DE on running downs. Develop his versatility

[@michaelslack4937]

Don't forget Tom Coughlin, he and AP talk all the time (Have for many, many years)

[@1R8Rnatn]

I think you guys are missing more facts again on the QB situation. AP is gonna start Aiden and don’t be surprised if Minshew doesn’t even see the field. TT and AP have got to find out for themselves if there’s a future at all with Aiden. Unless Aiden completely collapses and falls flat on his face in his progression they will not turn to Minshew. Minshew got good backup money which I think was a little more then backups normally get because they had to have a descent backup QB and didn’t want to lose him to FA so he got a little more. Make no mistake about it everyone knows Minshew has no ceiling, never been a starter, played for multiple teams that let him go over his six years in the league and TT and AP already know what they have in Minshew. The untold story and the million dollar question is, what’s Aiden? Nobody knows and why he will start and probably play the entire season because he gives us the best chance to win. So many questions about Aiden as to what he can or cannot do?

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

As Hondo said a few weeks back, one GM told him that had AOC come out after his junior year, or if last year's draft been done over again knowing what we know now, AOC would have been a first or second rounder. I can't really fault him much for his mistakes given the situation he was thrown into. I think that he'll be at least average next season if not better.

[@user-june-bayarea-510]

He was pretty good for getting thrown to the wolves last year and even if he only takes a little jump were good cause he's accurate, I hate interceptions so much, and Gardner don't care sometimes and if he throws one at the wrong time it's a moral killer.

[@user-zk3tg1ws4q]

AOC will for sure be the starter. I expect him to be greatly improved from last season. He is smart and a very hard worker.

[@randalkoch2855]

Good QB's come from a late draft pick all the time. Brady (tuck rule 🤬), sorry I can't mention him without that caveat, was a SIXTH round pick in 2000!

[@Silvrnblack1]

I Believe AOC will turn all the doubters heads. He's going find his groove in Getsy's offense and be in his bag all season long. Rrrraaaaiiiideeeerrrrssss!!!!💯

[@G360LIVE]

Let's be real here, so we're not disappointed when it happens. The Chiefs will 3-peat. The NFL will make sure of that. They're still in a contract with Taylor Swift to keep the Swifities tuning into Chiefs games and buying Kelce jerseys, so next February will be Taylor Swift Bowl II (and I'd bet that Taylor will perform during the halftime show). After that, the media will fill up their airtime with GOAT discussions: Brady or Mahomes. I feel like both Andy Reid and Kelce will retire after this season, so that will end the Chiefs' run since the NFL will want to push a new team and QB. And not long after Kelce retires, you'll hear of he and Taylor Swift breaking up, which will just mean that her contract with the NFL is up.

[@davidmoorman7062]

If the Forty-niners can get to the NFC championship and a super bowl with a "Mr. Irrelevant" then maybe Raider Fan can 'chill their jets' over and the next "Drew Bress" in S&B🏴‍☠️! - Ever check out his film? GM is our Mr. Irrelevant! He's AoC#12's backup!

[@WyoRaider]

So... KCs 3peat is a given. 😂 - "Don't worry about our qb. Worry about yours." 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@sinoverlord409]

Regardless whether Tyree plays inside or eventually transitions to his original position. He needs as much playing time as possible

[@bm373]

Ferrell 2.0!! ✌️🇺🇲

[@grprather]

Any QB will look bad if they are still trying to learn the system, have a ho-hum offensive line, and not enough time working with even great receivers like Adams. This year should be far better for O’Connel than last year!

[@ceciliakaminski8958]

RAIDERS can win 2025 because the team has the right skills and experience win baby win

[@jwilariousda1st]

Remember Tyree was never supposed to be the day 1 starter, Chandler jus went stupid and forced the organization’s hand

[@raiderhype5742]

We chose tyree over CJ stroud and Jalen carter. bites my nails

[@RocketMan5.2GT]

Just stop saying Las Vegas Raiders is pretty annoying. Just say the Raiders 🤌🏾‼️ they may change another city again..

[@sinoverlord409]

Sorry homie that's wishful thinking. The Raiders are here to stay with a stadium specifically built for them.

[@retrosavy5853]

😂😂😂😂 your logic

[@hensippa3656]

It's the raiders Regardless, they can be on the moon 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

[@pigspigs76]

I still call them the Oakland Raiders here and there 😅

[@raidertiwn1755]

​@@sinoverlord409💪🏿 facts!

[@RickyRaider-i3e]

Wilson is a bust!! McDummy pick. Has the get off of my 12 year old sister. Now he’s 10-15 pounds heavier? First off the bus, last in DE playing time. Robinson will see more DE snaps than him.

[@user-zk3tg1ws4q]

Way to soon to say that a guy is a bust after his rookie year. The team really did not expect him to play much last season because of the foot injury that he suffered in his last college game

[@7676tbrown]

Bradley cooper works for pff? 😮

[@Raider870]

6 games bet 😂😂😂😂

[@ericespinoza373]

Youre predicting 6-11?

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

Maybe the last half the season.

[@bm373]

8-11 no playoffs! ✌️🇺🇲

[@Raider870]

@@ericespinoza373 flip that I believe are defense is going to be so damn good Gardner or Aiden is going to ball out

[@user-zk3tg1ws4q]

Gonna be a 9- 11 win season

[@Raiders07_]

What if Anthony Brown balls out in preseason could you see him being backup to QB1?
