More Position Review: Quarterbacks, Safeties
Overview: Through the majority of 2015, the offensive line was arguably the Raiders most consistent and top-performing position group.
The big guys up front were stellar in pass protection, giving second-year quarterback Derek Carr time to operate, and also helped spark the run game as well.
They maintained their high level of play as the season wore on, even after several injuries at center and along the right side of the line forced a variety of personnel changes.
Tackle Donald Penn and guard Gabe Jackson were exceptional on the left side of the line, and even after the aforementioned position changes along the right side, offensive line coach Mike Tice’s unit did a good job of keeping Carr upright and kept the Silver and Black offense moving.
