ALAMEDA — Raiders left tackle Kolton Miller attributes part of his success in 2019 to “not listening to the noise.”
And that’s too bad.
Miller, if he put an ear to NFL news feeds, would probably enjoy reveling in the silence.
That’s how it works for an offensive lineman like Miller, particularly one that protects a quarterback in Derek Carr who has been sacked only eight times in seven games. Or has committed only two penalties — a holding call in Week 3 and a false start in Week 4. Or has gone toe to toe with Khalil Mack and lived to tell about it — even if he won’t brag about it.
