| Quiet Mini-camp, Carl Nassib Comes Out & Players to Look Out for This Season | 22 Jun 2021 | 00:20:25 | |
Jimmy, Vic & Ted are back for an offseason episode of SOTN and they talk about Raiders training camp, Carl Nassib coming out & players that could have breakout seasons. Not much to see for the media at training camp. One big note from Jon Gruden was that Henry Ruggs looked much better then he did last season and to expect some big things from him. Carl Nassib on Monday came out as gay and is the first openly gay player playing in the NFL. Took him 15 years to fight with this decision and hopefully it will lead to more players feeling ok with coming out to the public. Damon Arnette looks to have lost his starting spot from some of the top during mini-camp. The team seems very excited from what they have seen so far from Yannick Ngakoue. And the guys take some questions from the listeners.

Jimmy, Vic, Tashan and Ted have a lot of things to talk about in this Super Bowl edition of State Of The Nation. Vic's story about Nelson Agholor's speech after the loss to Miami came out.

They talk about the rumors of the Raiders trading Derek Carr and acquiring Deshaun Watson. Carr has a team friendly deal and they debate about what another team might be willing to give up for DC.

| Raiders hire Gus Bradley to be their new Defensive Coordinator | 14 Jan 2021 | 00:25:59 | |
Jimmy, Vic, Tashan and Ted discuss the Raiders hiring Gus Bradley to be their new Defensive Coordinator. Bradley is a huge Gruden guy. He was given his first NFL job by Gruden back in Tampa Bay. The guys are concerned that the Cover 3 defense that Bradley runs is not a great fit with the Raiders cause of the talent they have to rush the passer. The Raiders will need to sign a big name pass rusher or make a deal or find a stud in the draft. There are a lot of what ifs with running that scheme with the roster that they have. They talk about how Gus Bradley's system can hopefully get Cory Littleton back to his Rams form when he was a Pro Bowler. The guys also answer some questions and give some picks for this weekend's Divisional Round Playoff games.
