A stay in Sin City with another team for James Cregg parlayed itself into an opportunity to lead his own unit.
“I was obviously at San Francisco last year, we were playing in the Super Bowl here in Vegas,” Cregg began, “So I came to Vegas, I didn’t know I was going to be staying in Vegas.”
The former 49ers assistant offensive line coach is now full-fledged Las Vegas Raiders offensive line coach. Turns out, that prep time San Francisco’s prep time in Las Vegas for their Super Bowl matchup with the AFC West dominating Kansas City Chiefs gave Cregg plenty of tape and time to examine the Silver & Black — particularly since the Raiders win over the Chiefs Christmas Day was film Cregg and 49ers offensive line boss Chris Foerster watched — provided Cregg great insight to the coachability of the Raiders front line.
