- 6d Sam Warren (X) Kirk Cousins on Jalen Nailor's involvement in the Raiders offense: "I think when you watch the tape, you see him separating. I've told him, 'You're doing a lot of good things. We need to, I need to give you the opportunities to make it right,' if that makes sense. I think of a route he ran against the Bills late in the game, I overthrow him, but he's winning, he's separating. There was a couple of other examples of that in the game on Sunday. He's winning, he's separating, he's beating his guy, that's all he can do. And then it's our job to give him opportunities to go make plays."+1
- 6d Sam Warren (X) Kirk Cousins said the Raiders have expanded Tre Tucker's role in the offense, which has allowed him to have success. "As we've given him more, he keeps showing that he can do it. I'm encouraged by it and would love to see him keep doing more up ahead." "I think we've just given him more to do. More routes, more ways to contribute. And I think he's taken advantage of those opportunities. I think the traits are always there. Sometimes, when you're really, really fast, it's tempting to have him only do the fast things and have the slower guys do the slower things. There's nothing wrong with having Tre do those things too and wear different hats. He's shown he can do a lot. He doesn't just need to be the fast guy."
