Raiders film room: Andre James’ progression

It comes with the territory of replacing a three-time Pro Bowler in Rodney Hudson and receiving a contract extension after making just one start, but Las Vegas Raiders’ center Andre James has been under the microscope this season.

A slow start didn’t exactly help James’ case as he was Pro Football Focus’ lowest-graded center with a 40.8 mark through the first six weeks of the season. His run blocking grade (38.1) was also the worst at the position, he ranked in the bottom-10 for pressures allowed with 11 and was called for five penalties.
