You just gotta love hearing AP speak. He has that Raiders' passion and speaks like a born leader, I wish him all the success in the NFL! Go Raiders !🏈

[@itk.r8rsn8k15]

I hope Telesco doesn't turn on AP to bring in his own man like most GMs do. Draft well and give AP all the resources and support he needs to win! AP is a young coach...and growing on the job; there will be mistakes along the way, but keep improving. Do not turn the Raiders into the Chargers.

[@patmurphy1120]

Agreed ✅

That Raiders chant gave me chills AP is 💯 a Raider , the vision is clear! Dude is on a page mcdummy couldn't find if you showed it to him. Telesco is gonna build a team with Ap attitude

[@user-ss6lb7mh9i]

Welcome new gm Tom word of advice players r gonna want to play for the raider n our new head coach so don't give one player the bagu got to take care of everyone I hate that we lost Jacob's so don't let that happen to any other players

[@TheSteveSteele]

It seems AP wants to use Al Davis’ old vertical scheme which is cool and scary at the same time. Obviously it would need to be a modern version. The Air Raid scheme could fit the bill, as long as they’re versatile with their use of the “superback” and the TE. (The superback is the name of the RB in the run and shoot system). The RnS doesn’t run with a power scheme traditionally. In the RnS the o-line generally stands up, and puts more space between each lineman. Not sure how they’d implement a power run game without giving away what they’re doing on every play. Then again, most RnS and Air Raid coaches don’t care if the opposing defense knows what’s coming or not. It will be interesting to see if AP really runs a modern Al Davis vertical scheme or if he’s just alluding to it.

[@KavnotikTKS]

After watching and listening to AP its clear as day that we should all be glad he is our head coach. 1)The man is very intelligent 2)he's a former player that has won a super bowl and lastly 3) He's REAL. He wasn't robotic at all. He's a real human being that's passionate about sports even to the point he can crack jokes at his first press conference as the newly hired Head Coach. Lol. Tom & AP, Welcome Home🤞 and remember "Win, Lose or Tie, Raider Til I Die"🫡

[@bison404]

Come on guys audio is in mono. Fix for the headphone users please ❤

[@TheSteveSteele]

Patrick Graham was there and that’s a good sign, I hope. Hire Kingsbury and give him a directive to run up the score every game like a killer run n shoot/Air Raid team does. Let Patrick Graham stay in control of the violent, physical and swarming defense and let’s see how the AFC West pans out.

I hope AP understands this isn’t his job to keep but to fail. This GM didn’t hire him, MD hired him to shut the fans up! If he doesn’t make the playoffs, he’s out. Pretty simple, he’s already knowing who he’s going to hire. Also, he’s full of shit when he talks about the 1:18 straight up bullshit. He’s saying what y’all wanna hear. He said the same shit for the chargers. AP will be fired at the end of next season if they don’t make the playoffs or mid season if the team is on a losing streak.

Telesco misses on picks for rounds 3-7 very often. Thats why chargers teams were always thin on Depth. He doesn't embrace analytics, and is from the bill polian school of thought. Hes old school. His scout team does all their work for picks in rounds 1 and 2. They don't have a clue how to draft well in the middle rounds (keenan allen is an exception). Can't believe y'all chose him over Ed Dodds just for experience. He ain't worth it y'all. Been watching him fail for 10 years.

[@johnniebear1708]

true but chargers are supposed to win the division for years now or challenge kc and every year fail ...the players have to perform ,example chargers had the third highest payroll on defense and were dead last "really bad" ,,,raiders had the second lowest payroll on defense this year and was top 10 ..number 1 defense after mcdummy left ... ,,chargers had so much talent but zero production .....once AP took over all the young players started to play and produce and got better ...
