La última prueba de la pretemporada se avecina para los Raiders, donde ya se tiene determinado al mariscal de campo titular del equipo para el inicio de la campaña regular en Gardner Minshew, marcando la segunda vez en su carrera en la que arrancará un juego de la semana uno. El martes en el Estadio Allegiant y el miercoles en el Intermountain Health Performance Center fueron las primeras oportunidades en tomar el emparrillado para Minshew sabiendo que ganó la competencia para ser el encargado de comandar a la ofensiva negro y plata en el 2024.
"Mi rol en la ofensiva será tomar buenas decisiones", aseguró Minshew. "Habrá jugadores que estén abiertos y tengo que conseguirles el balón y mantenernos en el camino correcto, porque pienso que tenemos chicos que pueden hacer jugadas explosivas y agregar más de lo que ya hacemos en la jugada, darles vida. Ser el movedor y ayudar al equipo a cuidar el ovoide e intentar ganar de cualquier manera posible".
Esta semana se dio el retorno a los entrenamientos del tackle ofensivo estelar Kolton Miller, quien fue activado de la lista PUP, un paso importante para tener a la línea ofensiva titular lista lo más pronto posible. Una lesión de hombro hizo que se perdiera 4 juegos de la temporada 2023, eso después de que solo estuviese fuera de acción en un total de 4 partidos entre sus primeros 5 años en la NFL.
"Es mi séptimo año en la liga", declaró Miller tras el entrenamiento del miércoles. "En cuanto a formaciones y juego de pies, se siente como si me estuviera subiendo (de nuevo) a una bicicleta, me sentí bien. Ahora se trata de trabajar en las combinaciones y hacerlo como una unidad completa".
Junto a Miller, el novato Jackson Powers Johnson tomó el emparrillado, aunque en esta ocasión sin portar el jersey rojo de no contacto que tuvo la semana pasada, por lo que entrenó sin limitaciones. A pesar de ello, Antonio Pierce dijo que Powers Johnson no verá acción ante San Francisco y su deseo es que esté listo para el juego inaugural frente a los Cargadores.
Después de que la gran mayoría de los jugadores titulares de los Raiders vieron actividad en los partidos ante los Vikingos y Vaqueros, ellos recibirán descanso en el duelo frente a San Francisco y esto abrirá oportunidades para elementos que están buscando hacerse de un puesto en el roster final de 53 jugadores que será anunciado el martes.
"Nuestro tema de esta semana es 'terminar'", dijo el entrenador en jefe Antonio Pierce. "Tuvimos oportunidades en los primeros dos partidos de pretemporada y por alguna razón no hicimos un buen trabajo en el último cuarto. Les dije a estos muchachos que tienen una gran oportunidad para competir por un lugar en la plantilla, y realmente no solo para los Raiders, es para toda la NFL porque sabemos que no vamos a tener a todos en la plantilla. Habrá otras oportunidades en el equipo de prácticas u otros equipos, por lo que competirán frente a todos. Esta es una gran semana para ellos, y creo que es realmente crítico para algunos de los muchachos con los que vamos a jugar, que podrían tener dos o tres años en la liga, demostrar que pueden dar el siguiente paso. Porque tenemos que seguir construyendo profundidad dentro de este equipo para tener al equipo que queremos".
Su rival para el partido de la semana tres de la pretemporada serán los 49ers de San Francisco, quienes vuelven al Estadio Allegiant tan solo seis meses después de disputar el Super Tazón 58 en él, donde cayeron en la prórroga frente a los Jefes de Kansas City. La escuadra de la bahía regresa a la mayoría de sus elementos que los llevaron a ser contendientes en la campaña 2023. Durante su campo de entrenamiento tuvieron que cancelar sus prácticas en conjunto debido a lesiones que sostuvieron múltiples jugadores, y ahora su entrenador en jefe Kyle Shanahan está considerando utilizar a sus titulares en el arranque del juego frente a los Raiders.
