In this episode of the Silver & Black Sports Network Podcast, Jesse Merrick teams up with Rick Ballou from 1010 XL/92.5 FM — the Jaguars’ flagship radio station — for a deep dive into the Raiders’ matchup with Jacksonville. They break down how the Jags could feature Travis Hunter more on offense, where Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville attack have stumbled during their two-game skid, and how the Raiders can exploit those weaknesses. The two also dissect the Jaguars’ defense, highlighting its biggest strengths and vulnerabilities — and why that could open the door for the Raiders’ offense to rebound.

Plus, Jesse gives his take on new wide receiver Tyler Lockett, what his addition means for the Raiders’ receiving corps, and how he fits into Chip Kelly’s offensive scheme moving forward.

**The audio on Rick's interview wasn't the greatest. We tried our best to fix it in post-production, but couldn't improve it all that much, so please excuse us on that one!
