It is almost a week since the Super Bowl and the Oakland Raiders still don’t have a firm grasp on where they will be playing football this fall. Mark Davis wants to keep the Raiders in the Bay Area for their final season before moving to Las Vegas. Levi’s stadium in Santa Clara and Oakland Coliseum remain the favorites. The third option was Oracle Park but that appears to be dead on arrival. The prospect of the Raiders playing at Oracle has already seen a ton of opposition including the Mayor of San Francisco coming out publicly against it and the 49ers being unlikely to relinquish territorial rights. The latest to lend his disapproval is Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford.“I wouldn’t be the biggest fan of that. I’ll leave it at that

With as good as our grounds crew is, it was still probably the worst I had ever seen after that weekend of rugby last year. I can only imagine what an NFL game would do to it. It doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. That’s what I’m hoping.”It would appear Crawford shouldn’t have to worry as the move to Oracle seems far-fetched at this point. However, the past few months of the Raiders attempting to find a home for 2019 has shown that anything could happen and could change at a moment’s notice. Receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le'Veon Bell (who caught plenty of passes) are gone. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wants them also to be forgotten. Whether that happens depends on the performance of the players who will take their place.“I’m really excited about what we have,” Roethlisberger recently told Chris Simms. “JuJu [Smith-Schuster] just keeps getting better and I’m excited for what he’s going to do, especially with a new challenge. Every year he’s presented with a new challenge and he’s answered the bell.”It’s going to take more than JuJu to get it done, but Ben is also excited about the rest of the receiving corps. “I’m excited to see what [Donte] Moncrief [does],” Roethlisberger said. “I’ve been really excited about him. We got a battle inside between him, Eli [Rogers] and [Ryan Switzer]

There’s some catches that went to Oakland that are going to have to get dispersed among a lot of guys. Not one guy and that’s going to be the thing, it’s not one guy who needs to pick up the slack. It needs to be everybody, and that includes me. Making sure every guy gets the ball and make sure I don’t try to do too much.”When trying to understand why the Steelers have had so many mid-to-late-round receivers over the last decade, rarely if ever does anyone credit Roethlisberger for it. This year, he’ll have a chance to prove that he’s had something to do with the stellar performances of so many Steelers receivers.
