Raider Nation Podcast: Las Vegas Raiders News with Raider Greg

TOPICS:

Segment #1: "UK Black Hole Prepares for Raiders in London in 2014"

Raider Greg shares information on game ticket availability for the Raiders game vs the Dolphins at Wembley in late September.

Segment #2: "Oakland Raiders free agent signings - so far"

We haven't seen much in the way of the Raiders locking up their own free agents to new contracts prior to the start of free agency. Taiwan Jones and Khalif Barnes are the two recent signings. Lamarr Houston and Jared Veldheer are yet to be sign new contracts. Will they enter free agency? What are the Raiders needs, and what will Reggie McKenzie do in free agency to fill those needs? We hear from Taiwan Jones in a recent interview on the Raiders flagship station 95.7 "The Game" on his recent contract signing. We also hear a clip from Jared Veldheer.

Segment #3: "Mark Davis speaks out on the Raiders stadium situation in Oakland"

Mark Davis was asked at the combine how the Raiders stadium situation is progressing. He expressed disappointment with the lack of progress, and basically said that this is the City of Oakland's last chance to keep the Raiders in Oakland. Will "Coliseum City" become a reality? Will the Raiders move? What are the possibilities?

Segment #4: "A look back at the recent NFL combine and look forward to the May NFL Draft"

We review the performance of the quarterbacks and other players at the recent NFL combine. We hear some interviews from draft experts and former players who spoke on 95.7 "The Game", including Raiders great Fred Biletnikoff, Joe Theismann, former NFL personnel man now with ESPN Louis Riddick, and Raiders beat writer Vic Tafur of the SF Chronicle. Raider Greg gives his own thoughts.

TOPICS:

Segment #1: "Ray Guy Inducted Into Pro Football Hall of Fame"

Ray Guy is finally inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The first punter to make it in. Raider Greg talks about Ray's outstanding career and his induction.

Segment #2: "Not enough urgency in signing Veldheer and Houston?"

We hear Jerod Veldheer from an interview on Raiders flagship station 95.7 "The Game", where he expresses his feelings that there isn't enough urgency on the Raiders' side in signing him to a long-term contract. Reggie McKenzie made a statement to the media during their recent roundtable that Veldheer and Houston are two of the players that he wants to sign to long-term contracts, but nothing has been done yet. In this 95.7 interview Greg Papa gives his opinion on the subject.

Segment #3: "Raiders complete their 2014 coaching staff with 4 new assistants"

The Raiders rounded out their 2014 coaching staff with the hire of four new assistants. Joe Woods was named secondary coach. Marcus Robertson was hired as his assistant. Chris Boniol was named assistant special teams coach, and Marcus Robertson was named assistant strength and conditioning coach. Raider Greg isn't impressed with the names and backgrounds. We hear from former Raiders player Sam Adams from an interview on 95.7 "The Game", where he surprises the hosts when he tells them he was Dennis Allen's roommate in college. Sam says he has faith that Dennis Allen will "get it done" in Oakland.

Segment #4: "Free Agency is approaching - who should the Raiders pick up? Who should they resign?"

What will Reggie McKenzie do in free agency? We have around $60 Million in free cap space. Should we use it to resign existing players? Who should we not retain? Who should we go after? We hear from Raiders insider Paul Gutierrez from an interview on 95.7 "The Game" where he gives his thoughts. Raider Greg gives his thoughts also.

Segment #5: "A look ahead to the 2014 NFL Draft"

The Raiders have the #5 pick in the first round of the draft. Who will still be on the board? Should they pick in that spot or trade down for more picks? Should they move up for a chance at a top QB? What do you think?

Show #400 - Segment #1: "Thanks to our Raider Nation Podcast Listeners"

Thanks to all of you guys for the support you've given us over nine seasons of Raider Nation Podcast. Despite the nine years without a winning season, you have all kept us going and made it a pleasure for us to put out these shows. We treasure the friendships we've made and people we've met in Oakland and in traveling the country for Raiders away games. Thanks for everything.

Segment #2: "Dennis Allen, he's a keeper!"

Mark Davis met with Reggie McKenzie and Dennis Allen recently, and the partnership will remain intact, at least for the 2014 season. This has received mixed opinions among Raider Nation. We also hear excerpts from a few interviews on the Raiders flagship station 95.7 "The Game". Rich Gannon, Trey Wingo, Dane Brugler, and Trent Dilfer give their thoughts on various topics regarding the Raiders.

Segment #3: "The Deconstruction - Reconstruction of the Oakland Raiders"

Raider Greg gives his thoughts on deconstruction and reconstruction. Could they have been done simultaneously?

Segment #4: "A look back at Nine Seasons of the Oakland Raiders and how the Raider Nation Podcast covered it"

We revisit key moments in Raiders history over our nine seasons of doing the podcast, and share clips of the shows we did along the way. It's a little long (it caused this show to shatter our all-time record for show length, over 3 hours!), so we hope you enjoy it.
