The owner backed Kirk Cousins as the bridge quarterback, Klint Kubiak called the Jeanty-Washington carry split a moving target, and Las Vegas shuffled the roster a week from the deadline.
Mark Davis took the quarterback question off his coaching staff's desk this week. In a CNBC interview, the Raiders owner said there is absolutely no pressure whatsoever from him to start Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick who has thrown eight passes all season. Adam Hill of the Review-Journal transcribed the full comments, and Davis went past the usual owner boilerplate. "Today, there's a lot of pressure put on teams when they draft a guy No. 1 that you have to play him right away," he said, before calling the team fortunate that Kirk Cousins can bridge the gap.
The Las Vegas Raiders lost four straight games to potential Super Bowl contenders before last week. Coach Klint Kubiak insisted they remain "in the hunt" for a playoff spot.
