Mendoza’s Moment Looms for Raiders | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Raiders’ offense is a mess—questionable line play, no clear WR1, and a rookie RB—yet they’ve handed the QB1 job to Kirk Cousins while first-round pick Fernando Mendoza waits in the wings. With last year’s worst scoring and yardage, the team’s hoping Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum and Kolton Miller can fix the line, but right guard remains shaky. The receiving corps? Still unproven. Rookie Mike Washington Jr. is stealing RB reps, showing promise. Kubiak says it’s an open competition—but with Mendoza’s Heisman pedigree, the spotlight’s on when—and if—he gets his shot. The final call? Coach Kubiak’s, based on readiness, not just talent around him. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
