Are the Raiders’ Rookies Developing? Former WR Ryan Hoag’s Honest Evaluation
Former Raiders receiver Ryan Hoag joins Jesse Merrick for a deep dive into the Raiders’ rookie class — and he doesn’t hold back.
After Las Vegas gave extended snaps to several young players against Denver, Ryan breaks down the film and shares what it really shows about:
• Jack Bech’s development and where he's stalling
• Dont’e Thornton’s long-term outlook as an NFL receiver
• Darien Porter’s best emerging traits
• Why the Raiders’ offensive identity remains unsettled
• How Vegas should approach rebuilding the offense — especially through the draft
Ryan also drops two bold takes Raider Nation won’t want to miss.
Then Jesse is joined by Jason Dumas, longtime Bay Area Raiders reporter and current ABC Philadelphia sports anchor, to preview this week’s game against the Eagles. Jason shares behind-the-scenes stories from his Raiders beat days and explains what’s gone wrong in Philly — and how Vegas can take advantage.
If you want an honest look at the Raiders’ rookies, their development, and what this offense needs to become, this is the episode for you.
