JT explained how he got his name JT the Brick from Jim Rome when he used to call his show and he won the very first smack-off contest. He talked about the re-hiring of Jon Gruden and thinks he will do a heck of a job. JT told us he never had a doubt that Jon Gruden would come back to coaching and he thinks it’s fitting for him to return to the Raiders because they have unfinished business.

The jury is still out on the Raiders getting rid of Michael Crabtree and replacing him with Jordy Nelson.

JT said the Raiders are looking to help Kahlil Mack by putting better players around him now.

JT mentioned statistically that Gruden is going to push Carr to his breaking point trying to make him better, make more plays and use his legs more.

Not only did JT pick Roquan Smith, he told us Smith must come in and start as a rookie for the pick to worth while.
