Oakland maintaining the status quo

There were not too many upsets on the Raiders depth chart.

The specialists did not change at all. Taiwan Jones will continue returning kicks. T.J. Carrie will field punts. You already know the rest of the Raiders specialists. Punter Marquette King, long snapper Jon Condo, and kicker Sebastian Janikowski are some of the best to ever do it.

Also, the quarterbacks position stayed the same. Despite inconsistent play from Matt McGloin in preseason, he keeps his position as second-string. Him beating out rookie Connor Cook is a bit of a surprise because Cook played well in preseason and Oakland traded up to get him. However, McGloin brings better experience.
