Following the Raiders big win over the Bears in London Marcus Gilchrist Jersey , they were feeling pretty high on the Raiders future. More than three times as confident, in fact, than they were just two weeks prior.Now given a week to let the dust settle, the euphoria has not gone away. It has only gained steam, with the fans more confident now than at any point this calendar year. According to this week’s FanPulse survey, Raider Nation is now 81% confident in the future of the team, a jump of 3% over the week despite the team not playing a game. Their confidence surpassed the previous 2019 high of 79% which they had after the draft and through the first preseason game.Part of this continued surge in confidence could be that the team ahead of them in the AFC West has now lost two straight, putting the Raiders just a half game out of first in the division at 3-2.The Chiefs started the season 4-0 and have lost the last two to fall to 4-2. Their defense is purging points and even their MVP quarterback can’t stop the bleeding. Those losses are also reflected in their fan confidence, now at a pathetic 37%.As for the bottom two teams in the division, the Broncos have won two-straight and their fan’s confidence has rebounded to 55% because of it. The Chargers have lost four of their last five with their only win coming over a terrible Dolphins squad. Their fan confidence is at a laughable 7%. Which is probably actually less than 7 people.Follow @LeviDamien The Raiders need a starting guard for their first two games of the season.

So, they went out and got a former first round pick guard in Jonathan Cooper, whose career has been upended by injuries woes. “I liked Cooper coming out of college,” Gruden said of Cooper. “He reminded me of a guy, McIntyre, he was a 285-pound guard that could really move. He was an early draft pick, he’s had some freak injuries. I know the guy that coached him last year in Washington. He started 13 games in Dallas where [assistant head coach/special teams coordinator] Rich Bisaccia was. He’s a natural left guard. Incognito is out for the first two games. We need a veteran to play next to Kolton. And ‘Coop’s’ done a good job. ‘Coop’s’ a good player if he can be healthy now.”I sat down with Cooper at training camp this week to discuss his journey which has led him to his seventh NFL training camp with the Raiders.
