What to Expect: Raiders vs. Cowboys

HENDERSON, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders, by all measurable accounts, have had a tremendously successful preseason in 2023.

We dig into the final preseason game versus the Dallas Cowboys in our latest Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast episode.

We discuss several topics, including who to look for, who not, what to expect, and what to watch for.

You can watch our latest podcast below and make sure you are ready for this critical game:

I asked Coach Josh McDaniels earlier this week if he approaches this game and this week focusing on the final 53-man roster sports or simply letting the team compete and the roster process sorting itself out.

McDaniels told me: "I think it's kind of multifaceted, Hondo. We obviously need to take stock of: 'What do we need to do better?' We did that from San Francisco to L.A. We'll do that again today and tomorrow as a coaching staff, and just go back over and review the entire week. We had two great practice days with L.A. and then a preseason game full of, I would say situations and things that we can all learn from. So, we'll try to identify what that bucket of things are in each phase and go work on that this week, as well as continue to focus on some of the competitive situations on our roster and also the evolution of some things that we haven't quite gotten to yet. Like I said, we've only had 15 practice days. So, there's definitely some things that are still outstanding that we haven't necessarily introduced to our football team, in all three phases, and we'll continue to sprinkle that in, along with focusing on the areas that we can improve in and developing our young players and seeing how some of the competition kind of shakes out here as we head into the Dallas week."

The Silver and Black return to preseason action when they play the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday, Aug. 26, at 8 p.m. EDT/5 p.m. PDT.
