ALAMEDA — Jon Gruden told his team last week Santa might pay a visit during the final stretch of OTAs. That surprised many, given the head coach’s maniacal obsession with whatever practice time he’s offered during the early portion of the offseason.
Typically NFL teams go bowling or paintballing when they forego a practice day – Jordy Nelson said he even shot guns on off days in Green Bay – but new Raiders special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia spearheaded a different off-day activity for the Raiders at team headquarters Thursday that mirrored a similar event he oversaw while coaching the Cowboys.
