n releasing Michael Crabtree, the Raiders lack a physical wideout. Crabtree provided Derek Carr a red zone threat, a target on the stutter go, and screens. Now, the team lacks that type of power from the receiver position. With Brown, Oakland could bring that type of player into the fold.

The Oakland Raiders can claim embarrassment and obliteration on U.S. and foreign soil. In that case, that cannot sit well with Jon Gruden. Yet, this is the hand the head coach dealt to himself.

In reality, Bruce Irvin’s transition to defensive end appears to be a bit of a failure. With little to no move variety, tackles envelop him. On the other hand, Ferrell brings his entire toolbox to the game.
