It starts on the offensive side of the ball. The Raiders haven’t stayed true to their identity as they’ve struggled to get the football through the first six games.

With the way Zamir White ran the ball last season and the addition of offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, this run game was expected to improve. Things have arguably gotten worse, especially now that White is offside.

How can the Raiders get the run game going? First, they need White Healthy. He wasn’t exceptional, but he was productive. The Raiders aren’t going anywhere with Alexander Mattison as their top running back.

The offensive line must also continue to create holes. White has struggled to find those holes, but that should come with time and more comfort in the system.

The Raiders have also struggled to move the football through the air, regardless of who plays at quarterback. Both Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell have turned the ball over multiple times this season. Not having Davante Adams amid trade rumors has also hurt.

Getting their receivers healthy is the first step. After that, everything else should fall into place.

If the offense can sustain attacks better, their defense can rest on the sideline and they won’t have to be on the field as long. This defense has a chance to be very good, but it cannot show that if they are gassed after every drive.

The team’s morale is low after so many games to lose this season, but things could still turn around. Pierce must help the team rediscover his identity so they don’t spiral out of control.
