5 questions with Behind the Steel Curtain

While this year’s Week 6 contest pails in comparison to the playoff bouts from 40 or 50 years ago, both Las Vegas and Pittsburgh could use a win as the two clubs have been losing some steam lately.

Tight end had a good game in Las Vegas last year and has been having a good season so far in 2024

While Pat Freiermuth isn’t the biggest name on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense, he is a quality tight end who can cause the Las Vegas Raiders’ defense issues in the Raiders Week 6 matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Last season, Freiermuth gave Las Vegas some trouble by catching three passes for 41 yards and a touchdown. In 2024,...

Who do you got in Week 6?

Well, I’ve been ridiculous in this year.

It’s getting crazier and crazier.

I’m 0-5 in picking Raiders games.

They are 2-3, of course. I have picked them to win three times and I’ve picking them to lose twice.

They have lost all three times I’ve chosen them to win and they have won both times I picked them to lose.

You can’t make this stuff up.

But I push on.

I’m not feeling the Raiders this...

With Davante Adams’ days in Las Vegas numbered, Meyers will have to step up

While we’re still waiting for the Davante Adams trade to happen, Adams’ time with the Las Vegas Raiders is expected to come to an end soon which will reshuffle the Raiders’ depth chart at wide receiver.

The most significant change will be Jakobi Meyers getting elevated as the team’s “No. 1 wide receiver” moving forward. Especially considering...

The Raiders decided to switch run schemes for 2024 and the results have been underwhelming

When the Las Vegas Raiders hired Antonio Pierce his coaching staff was important for his success. As a defensive coach the importance of hiring the right coordinator to lead the offense is paramount.
