  Fernando Mendoza’s FIRST NFL TEST: What Raiders MUST Show vs Cardinals

  Aug 13, 202649 min

  Raiders football is finally back — sort of. Fernando Mendoza gets his first real NFL test as the Las Vegas Raiders prepare for their preseason matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. RJ Clifford and Juan Soto break down exactly what they want to see from Mendoza, Klint Kubiak in his first game as a head coach, Ashton Jeanty, the rebuilt offensive line and a young Raiders secondary full of intriguing pieces. Plus, how worried should Raider Nation be about Jackson Powers-Johnson? Can Hezekiah Masses or Jermod McCoy emerge in the secondary? And RJ and Juan go to war over the Maxx Crosby-Kirk Cousins training camp scuffle. Also: Derek Carr goes to UCLA, Matt Gay jokes inevitably happen, and preseason football gets compared to something we probably shouldn’t put in a YouTube description.
