Silver Minings: Josh McDaniels’ play call pays homage to Cliff Branch and Al Davis

This year’s Hall of Fame weekend is special for the Las Vegas Raiders for a handful of reasons. For one, the Raiders played in the annual Hall of Fame preseason game but more importantly, they’ll have two former players enter the exclusive club, Richard Seymour and Cliff Branch.

Branch’s enshrinement will be extra special for the Silver and Black. Many feel his bronze bust should have been in the hall several years ago, so today’s ceremony finally puts an end to what’s been a long and frustrating journey.

The wideout won three Super Bowls with the Raiders and became known for his postseason performances.
