You just keep learning and keep building and you know how you said to build. crime cohesion I’ll be ready to go if need be.

Powers-Johnson will be the leader of this offense for years to come.

I have the whole line pushing for me and I want to be great, so you know, those guys waving and helping me too, it’s easy. get into a situation where you’re kind of dead in the water, then you know it’s really hard. I am blessed to have many great people around me.

Another injury could force the Raiders to change their offensive line there again.

“I felt good. I’ve taken a lot of photos since I’ve been here. So definitely a learning curve and I have to get back on the bike and ride the trike again, but I’ll keep trying to get one. percent better every day.”
