NAPA – Raiders offensive and defensive linemen have squared off during every training camp practice in pads. These pass-rushing drills are generally one-on-one, occasionally two-on-two working from either side of center.
They’re entertaining as heck, providing physicality and a little drama with a clear winner and loser. There are some excellent matchups inside and out, especially with rookies and veterans going at it.
Bruce Irvin vs. Kolton Miller has been a main attraction. Maurice Hurst vs. Kelechi Osemele (or Gabe Jackson) has been just as good.
The Michigan man is an excellent interior pass rusher, and believes he’s getting better facing some of the NFL’s best blockers.
