Last season, the Las Vegas Raiders had the worst offensive line in the league, both in pass blocking and in rushing. The pass pro wasn’t as bad as the run blocking, but it was all bad. This offseason, general manager John Spytek addressed the OL in a few ways.

“I love it,” offensive tackle Kolton Miller said at OTAs when asked about the moves made. “Tyler [Linderbaum] has been great. He just gelled right in. Great guy, love working with him. And we have our rookies, and everyone’s working really hard and getting the most out of what we can for OTAs. So, no, it’s been really great.”

"I love it," said Kolton Miller with a huge smile when asked about the additions to the #Raiders offensive line this offseason.

Miller is the veteran on the team and the longest tenured Raider. He’s seen some good units on the line, but also some bad. He’s getting older, and eventually Miller will be a guy on the back end of his career. They need to put some good help around him to extract the best out of him and the offensive line, before it’s too late.

They may have done just that.

The Raiders made three moves on the offensive line

It started with the Raiders signing former San Francisco 49ers offensive guard Spencer Burford, who has started 38 games in his career. Burford could be valuable depth for the Raiders, who have dealt with many injuries on the offensive line. With 2,165 snaps compared to Rogers’ 284, he could also be a serviceable starter. Training camp will determine their roles unless Rogers is already favored.

According to Sports Info Solutions, Burford had 32 blown blocks last season, with 211 in the pass game and 11 in the run game. That put him at the 14th-most among all offensive guards last season, on just 550 total snaps. However, all of the players above him on this list have almost double the snaps he had. So, there certainly is work to be done. Burford’s familiarity with Kubiak’s system, his experience at age 25, and the low-cost, one-year contract add competition to a weak position group. This move could be impactful or just a depth addition.

Then they signed center Tyler Linderbaum in free agency. He’s the highest-paid center ever, and the best center in the league. Known for his prowess as a run blocker, Linderbaum is recognized as one of the league’s best in this area while still being a strong pass protector. Run blocking remains where he stands out most—his so-called bread and butter. He played nearly 1,000 total blocking snaps last season, allowing just 17 blown blocks, only six of which came in the run game, according to Sports Info Solutions.

His ability to reach the second level and pass defenders off to adjacent linemen stands out. And, he’s very aware of everything that’s going on in high-pressure situations. His football IQ in the run game is among the league’s best, which should help Jeanty even more.

And finally, they drafted offensive lineman Trey Zuhn. He was drafted by the Raiders as an interior player; however, he could play more than just guard or center. The idea was he would be part of that very large battle on the interior at the guard position. But at OTAs, he’s been starting at right tackle. Now, that doesn’t mean that’s where he will start during the season, but it’s certainly odd that’s the first position he’s really played as a starter, at least that’s been reported. Overall, the Raiders made great changes to the line.
