    Raiders Are On Hard Knocks This Year

    It is official: After months of speculation, the Raiders are finally the choice for HBO’s docuseries “Hard Knocks.”

    This will be exciting for Raider Nation to finally see the inner workings of Jon Gruden and the Oakland coaching staff. With all the new personalities in this locker room, we are ready to see fireworks in August.

    This is what they wanted when they signed guys like Burfict and Incognito. Since they will likely go 4-12 again this is the best they could have hoped for to get people talking about them.

    Yeah, and the move to Vegas next year will be huge for them.

    The Raiders will host the defending Super Bowl runners-up Los Angeles Rams for two joint training camp practices this year, the Raiders announced Monday morning.

    The Rams will join the Raiders at their Napa training complex on Aug. 7 and 8 before their Week 1 preseason game on Aug. 10 in Oakland. This marks the second straight year the Raiders have hosted joint practices in Napa after the Detroit Lions visited in 2018.

    Raiders coach Jon Gruden hired Rams coach Sean McVay to his first NFL coaching position in 2008, when Gruden was head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and McVay became an assistant wide receivers coach. McVay has skyrocketed up the league’s coaching ranks in the last decade, and since becoming head coach of the Rams in 2017 has won AP Coach of the Year and appeared in a Super Bowl.

    Gruden and the Raiders are coming off a 4-12 season, and they’ll appear on HBO’s Hard Knocks starting Aug. 6.

    Much better choice than the Lions. I can't believe one of HBO's choices... were the Lions. Odd.

    thought it would make more sense to have them on Hard Knocks when they moved to Vegas, like when they had the Rams on Hard Knocks when they moved back to LA

    It's a distraction. They will suck this year and next year turn that corner by winning the division. They have to put fans in that new stadium and sell merchandise. Just watch the show unfold. They will become the Rams of the AFC.

    Agreed to a certain extent. There is no doubt that the Raiders of 2019 are holding tryouts to see who makes the move with the team in 2020. Gruden has almost admitted that much. May as wel get all the pub they can.
