During the Josh McDaniels interview process with the Las Vegas Raiders, it was reported that he pushed his plan to aggressively use double tight-end sets in the offense if he got the job.
Now that McDaniels is secured as the Raiders’ coach, it would be wise to fully buy into that possibility. In fact, bank on it. The double tight-end sets have long been a major, invested aspect of the New England Patriots’ offense. Of course, McDaniels spent the past decade as the Patriots’ offensive coordinator.
So surely expect the Raiders to employ that aspect in their primary offensive attack, it makes it easier that Las Vegas is equipped to use the double tight-end set often with star TE Darren Waller and valuable fourth-year player Foster Moreau.
