Raiders’ Run-First Identity Under Kubiak | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Las Vegas Raiders are embracing a ground-first, play-action-heavy identity under new OC Klint Kubiak, betting on run-heavy schemes and two-tight-end sets to mask their shaky receiver corps. Despite heavy odds of just 5.5 wins and draft lottery status, young stars like Ashton Jeanty, Brock Bowers, and rookie QB Fernando Mendoza could spark surprises. Kubiak’s strength in maximizing quarterbacks and creating mismatches via play-action will be key — especially with Bowers as the primary target. The real test? Turning a raw, unpolished wideout group into a threat, all while grinding teams down with power runs. This might be their most cohesive offense yet — if Kubiak can make it work.
