The Las Vegas Raiders' offense and defense have received the most attention this offseason. However, Coach Antonio Pierce and Special Teams Coach Tom McMahon have made special teams a point of emphasis this offseason.
Much of the Las Vegas Raiders' attention has rightfully gone to the team’s two primary units, the offense and defense.
While none of the team’s losses last season were solely because of special teams, the special teams unit could have been more of a factor for the Raiders last season. The good news for the Raiders is a new offensive coordinator and special teams coach has arrived. "I'm not doing demonstrations like Coach McMahon,” Pierce jokingly said. “But, I really wanted to put an emphasis on that. First of all, we have some really good specialists. Between AJ and Daniel , I mean, we couldn't be more blessed to have those two difference makers there. But obviously, with the new rule, right, it's a learning curve for all of us.”
