The Las Vegas Raiders are 2-6, and the future is dismal in the desert. The Silver and Black still haven’t found an answer for the offense, with struggling quarterback Gardner Minshew II at the helm, and leading the way is Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy. It seems to get worse by the week.

Former Raiders wide receiver Tim Brown is a legend of the game and a Hall of Famer. The nine-time Pro Bowler still has a deep connection with the franchise he found success with in the 1990s, and he recently sounded off on the Raiders’ struggles with a subtle message for the team.

“Ya’ll know I love you. Love you, appreciate you, always will, always have,” Brown said. “I say this a lot when I get cameos and all that stuff, a lot of what I did, I did for you. Because I understood you were going to be there supporting us, and I had to perform because I’m scared of you. So that was fun. But I realize that you guys are gonna do what you did, the least I could do was give an effort. I hope you guys are proud of that.”

Effort is everything in the NFL; it can mean the difference between wins and losses. Such as understanding “the moment” and taking advantage of situational football.
