RAIDERS SQUAD SHOW: Fernando MENDOZA'S development is a LONG PROCESS

Описание: The Raiders continue OTA work and there were plenty of interesting comments from coaches and players this week. On this episode of Raiders Squad, Lincoln Kennedy, Q Myers, and Shantelle Chand break down Defensive Coordinator Rob Leonard's media session and discuss what his defense could look like in 2026. How much pressure comes with Leonard's first season running the defense, and what should fans expect from the growth of this unit moving forward?

We'll also react to comments from Maxx Crosby, Malcolm Koonce, and Jeremy Chinn as the defense continues building its identity heading into training camp.

On offense, QB coach Mike Sullivan discussed Mendoza's development and described it as a long process. Should Raiders fans be concerned about that timeline? Does it signal the organization plans to be patient before considering Mendoza as a potential QB1 option? We'll break down Sullivan's comments, Mendoza's work ethic, and what his development path could look like moving forward. We'll also discuss offensive line coach Rick Dennison's comments about the growth of the offensive line, how long it may take for the group to fully come together, and whether the Raiders have enough depth up front heading into the season. Plus, our player spotlight segment focuses on Eric Stokes, Darien Porter, and Maxx Crosby. What are realistic expectations for each player this season, and who could make the biggest impact for the Silver and Black? Join Lincoln Kennedy, Q Myers, and Shantelle Chand for all that and more, and don't forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you never miss a Raiders Squad episode.
