The Autumn Windbags: The Best Las Vegas Raiders Podcast Ever!

Adam Hill, Why the Media Hates the Raiders O-Line Moves, Kenyan Drake’s Role

We are joined by our good friend Adam Hill from the Las Vegas Review Journal. The offensive line is younger and cheaper but is it much worse than last season? The Raiders have become an offensive destination for skill players. Best and worst free agency moves so far. The Raiders played Marcus Mariota perfectly.

SI's Conor Orr, Jon Gruden's Hands-Off Free Agency, the Raiders Best Signings This Week

We chat with Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr about Jon Gruden’s last three years with the Raiders and if he would fire Gruden if Conor was the owner.

We send a tearful goodbye to Rodney Hudson, we quickly learn how to spell Yannick Ngakoue and sit back in astonishment at the least Jon Gruden-looking free agency period we have ever seen as we break down every single transaction (and non-transaction) so far this week.

We recorded the interview earlier in the day during the middle of Raiders free agency madness so we were a little down at the time. Then we recorded the rest of the show at night when everything went great for the Raiders. The Windbags had a completely different demeanor. 

Marcus Mosher from Raiders Wire, Who Is To Blame for Trent Brown? and 'What Up, Windbags?'

The Windbags welcome in managing editor of the Raiders Wire, Marcus Mosher. They discuss the recent announcement that Trent Brown will be traded, grade Jon Gruden's last three seasons with the Raiders, who the team should target in free agency, what to expect from the defense next season and why Gruden keeps going after his "Grinders". Plus the guys open up the mailbag for the first edition of What Up, Windbags?

Extreme Makeover: O-Line Edition, Derek Carr is a leader that needs help, Is Jon Gruden finally going to give cap resources to the defense?

With Gabe Jackson cut and Trent Brown potentially on the trading block, The Windbags look at what our offensive line will look like next season and what we’ll do with all the juicy cap space. Does this also mean Jon Gruden will actually spend serious cap room on the defense and not get distracted by flashy offensive players he wants? Plus, teammates, the GM and broadcasters all rally around Derek Carr. What type of leader is he exactly?

Raider haters’ lame takes, Tyrell Williams released, Rich Gannon’s on the market

The Windbags look at some of the lazy Raider takes from the media, now that Tyrell Williams got released we pinpoint which Raiders should be cut next, how much of Nelson Agholor’s success is tied to Derek Carr, re-evaluating the free agent signings from the last two seasons and where does Rich Gannon go now that he is no longer with CBS?
