Hosts Scott Gulbransen and Moe Moton kick off the show talking about Raiders roster news, including the continued absence of Darren Waller from practice. Las Vegas gets good news as CB Anthony Aveertt was back at practice, as was WR DJ Turner. Moe also talks about his Sportsnaut.com column on how the Raiders can make changes to become better.

Las Vegas Review-Journal writer Sam Gordon joins the show to talk about his recent column critical of Josh McDaniels' start to his head coaching career in Las Vegas. His bottom-line message: no more excuses.

We preview Raiders vs. Texans with correspondent/producer David Stepanian and Moe and Scott give you their game prediction.

We're back with our midweek mailbag as hosts Scott Gulbransen and Moe Moton take your comments on questions. This week's show includes questions on Josh McDaniels, Chandler Jones, Darren Waller and if the Raiders are too vanilla on offense. Plus: lighting round with the guys.

Our first batch of questions on Wednesday includes one on Chandler Jones and his performance during the first half of the loss to the Chiefs. Moe tells us why he came alive and why the Raiders interior defensive line played their best half.

Fans continue to express their disappointment in Raiders TE Darren Waller. Scott says some criticism is fair but those lashing out at his Las Vegas Aces girlfriend Kelsey Plum are off base. 

Anything goes as Scott and Moe answer questions about movies, the best stadium experiences they've ever had and more!

The bye week for the Las Vegas Raiders is over and thank goodness: enough drama about Davante Adams and the "shove" and Darren Waller rooting on the Padres. Moe and Scott talk about the selective outrage and the real reasons for it. BREAKING: Raiders lose CB Nate Hobbs to injured reserved plus, they talk about the Raiders path to the playoffs - even if some believe they don't have a chance. Also, will the Raiders be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline?

The guys are back off the bye week and discuss the news of Nate Hobbs going on injured reserve on Monday. We also discuss why Raider Nation perpetuates the drama around stars Davante Adams and Darren Waller.

Yes, the 1-4 Raiders have a path to the playoffs and Scott and Moe tell you how.

Due to injury and lack of performance, the Raiders could address some of those needs at the NFL trade deadline. Who could they pursue? Or could they possibly be sellers?

We're back for our weekly mailbag sessions, and Raider Nation has lots of questions.

Raider Nation might not be happy with 1-4 but not all are ready to throw in the towel.

Scott and Moe discuss Darren Waller's struggle to stay healthy and why Hunter Renfrow isn't producing like 2021.

We're back with our Thursday bye week edition as hosts Moe Moton and Scott Gulbransen tie a bow in the Raiders' first five weeks and discuss focus areas during the bye. The guys then shift to discuss Darren Waller and his slow start and nagging injuries dating to last year. Did the Raiders pay him too soon, and will his contract haunt them?

The guys revisit the Monday night loss to the Chiefs and tell Raider Nation not to lose hope. 

Darren Waller was injured against the Chiefs and has been inconsistent all season. Did the Raiders pay him too soon and will they regret it? 

What moves could the Raiders make during the bye to improve on both sides of the ball? Plus: Las Vegas needs to get healthy as the roster is getting thin.
