Raiders rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell will start in place of Jimmy Garoppolo against the Giants on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
Pat McAfee was surprised to see the Raiders move on from Josh McDaniels only 25 games into a six-year contract. Paul Gutierrez joined NFL Nation in 2013 and serves as its Las Vegas Raiders reporter. He has a multi-platform role - writing on ESPN.com, television appearances on NFL Live and SportsCenter, and podcast and radio appearances.
The question remains, though -- if the NFL's No. 31-ranked total offense in yards per game was the problem, and it was McDaniels' scheme, what system do the Raiders run going forward? Two years ago, when then-coach Jon Gruden resigned, the Raiders maintained his system and new playcaller Greg Olson, a previous offensive coordinator in the league, put his own spin on it. Hardegree has never been an NFL playcaller, and you have to wonder what playbook he will use.
Garoppolo, meanwhile, is struggling through his worst season as a full-time starter after signing a three-year, $72.75 million free agent contract with Las Vegas in March and then immediately having surgery on his left foot. He is completing 65.5% of his passes for 1,205 yards, with seven touchdowns and a league-leading nine interceptions, despite missing 2½ games with injuries.
