Klint Kubiak has already made some BIG changes to the Raiders offense, and the numbers from Week 1 show just how different this unit looks.

Jesse Merrick and former Raiders WR Ryan Hoag dive into the analytics behind the Raiders' new-look offense and explain how Kubiak's use of heavy personnel, condensed formations and the running game is creating stress for opposing defenses.

The Raiders used 21 personnel at their highest rate of the Next Gen Stats era in Week 1 while also lining up in their tightest formations over that same span. So why does it matter? Jesse and Ryan explain what those formations force a defense to do, why heavy personnel is making a comeback across the NFL, and how Kubiak is building his offense around the strengths of this Raiders roster.

On today's show:

🧠 The biggest changes Klint Kubiak has made to the Raiders offense
📊 Why the Raiders are leaning heavily into 21 personnel
🏈 How condensed formations put stress on a defense
🏃 Why Ashton Jeanty and the Raiders RB room are central to the approach
💪 Why heavy personnel is making a comeback around the NFL
♟️ How Kubiak is forcing defenses to adjust
