The Off-Season has mercifully come to an end and the Regular Season has finally arrived…
Today, the Silver and Black take the field against the hated Denver Broncos. The Raiders look to extend their six game winning streak in this rivalry. There is much to be excited about as the 2023 season begins.
Maxx Crosby has been relentless in his preparation for the season. He brings an intensity to this defense that everyone feeds off. He has become the leader and face of this football team. Crosby should be squarely in the mix for Defensive Player of the Year.
On the offensive side of the ball we get to watch two of the very best in Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams do their thing. What a glorious time to be alive.
It’s always exciting when a new era at QB begins. Jimmy Garoppolo takes the reins of an offense that he has now been handpicked twice now to run. Now that the Coach has a QB that he trusts the offense can be executed to its fullest capacity.
The rookie class takes the first step in their careers. I’m especially excited to see the debut of Tyree Wilson, Jakorian Bennett and Michael Mayer. All three will be leaned on heavily right away.
So, despite an off-season full of negative takes…there is plenty for Raider Nation to be excited about entering the 2023 NFL Season.
