Raiders’ success largely depends on unproven offensive line

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Trading for quarterback Geno Smith and drafting running back Ashton Jeanty were two major offseason moves meant to put a jolt in the Raiders’ anemic offense.

But whether those players succeed will largely rest on the five largely unproven linemen blocking for them.

That doesn’t mean they won’t get the job done, but it’s one of Las Vegas’ major questions as training camp winds down and a new season is about to begin.

“I think they’re getting a good feel for one another,” coach Pete Carroll said. “It feels like there’s some continuity. Kolton (Miller) is doing a terrific job. I’m really fired up about what Jordan (Meredith) is doing in the middle. So it feels pretty solid right now. There’s still room for competition, but at this point, we’re feeling pretty good.”
