The Las Vegas Raiders did not invest much in their offensive line this offseason after the group had a strong showing in 2024 despite a poor overall effort on that side of the ball. The starting lineup remained intact from the Antonio Pierce era; only depth was added to bolster the room.
Somehow, however, the group had arguably been the worst in football through three weeks of the 2025 NFL season. Most have blamed new offensive line coach Brennan Carroll -- the son of head coach Pete Carroll -- for the unit's struggles.
But rookie running back Ashton Jeanty missed a handful of gaping holes in his first three NFL games, and quarterback Geno Smith held on to the ball too long at times and took unnecessary sacks.
