One of the prevailing themes throughout this Raiders training camp is how refreshing it is for some players in the Silver and Black to play under new head coach Jon Gruden. His energy and enthusiasm have certainly been infectious to both the fan community and the players alike. So far, Gruden has almost exclusively dealt with the offense, leaving the defensive duties to DC Paul Guenther. That’s music to the ears of Raiders tight end Jared Cook.
“It’s huge. It’s totally different,” Cook said following Monday’s practice, pointing to the Guenther handling the defense.
