Olson in the captain's seat
The main storyline for the Raiders going into this divisional matchup is obvious.
Greg Olson will be stepping in as the lead playcaller for the offense. He enters familiar territory as he's already had two stints as the team's offensive coordinator.
With Olson leading the way, it could also pay dividends for quarterback Geno Smith. Olson, the current quarterbacks coach, served in the same role for the Seattle Seahawks in 2023 with Pete Carroll and Smith. That season, Smith threw for 3,624 yards and 20 touchdowns.
"I'm thankful that I had a relationship with him in Seattle," Olson said Thursday of Smith, "and thankful that I had an opportunity to work with him in Seattle ... but it certainly makes things easier again. I think any time that you're with a first-time quarterback and coming into a new place with a new quarterback, there has to be that trust that's established between a playcaller or between a quarterback coach and the quarterback, and that was established before he came here. So, I'm certainly comfortable with our relationship, and he and I both are on the same page, and we know that we've got to get better as well in the quarterback room."
Restoring the run game
Along with Olson's potential effect on the passing offense, there'll also be an emphasis on running the football.
After the Raiders moved on from Chip Kelly, Carroll mentioned that one of the things he wants to see from an Olson-led offense is more success running the ball. Three of the six seasons Olson spent as the Raiders offensive coordinator, his teams ranked top 15 in rushing yards – two seasons they ranked top 10 in rushing touchdowns.
The Raiders' new playcaller has coached top talent at the running back position, including Pro Bowlers Marshawn Lynch and Josh Jacobs. He's now tasked with getting things going for Ashton Jeanty, who's averaging 36 rushing yards a game in his last five contests.
"I think when you look across the league, the successful teams are the teams that run the ball when they want to run it, not just to run it to maintain balance," Olson said. "We've got to get in the mindset of when we want to run the football, we'll run the football, no matter what the situation or who we're playing. So, it just helps you. A lot of people talk about balance, and certainly we're looking for balance in the fourth quarter, but we've just got to get better at that part of what we're doing."
Tight end depth
Michael Mayer has been ruled out for this contest after suffering an ankle injury against the Cleveland Browns.
The absence of the third-year tight end could make things difficult for the Silver and Black, considering his role on offense and in special teams. However, Carroll is confident that veteran Ian Thomas will fill those shoes well as he's coming off a season-high four catches for 36 yards in Week 12.
"He's been really consistent," Carroll said about Thomas. "He had a really nice game last week too, leading into it. It was easy to see him just slip into a bigger role. He's a pro."
Considering how much the Raiders have played out of 12 and 13 personnel recently, rookie UDFA Carter Runyon could see more time on the field, after playing a combined 28 offensive and special teams reps against the Browns.
"He came out of nowhere kind of on us and kept making good impressions throughout camp," Carroll said of the Towson University alum. "But really, in the last month, when he's gotten a better shot and he's been in special teams, he's shown that he runs well, he's tough, he listens and learns well, and he probably had his best plays to date in this past game as well."
Unlucky No. 13
An underrated piece of the Chargers' success this season has been the return of one of the franchise's greatest receivers.
After spending a year with the Chicago Bears, Keenan Allen signed back with the Los Angeles Chargers this offseason. At 33 years old in his 13th season, he's not only a locker room leader, he's still the No. 1 target.
Allen leads the team in receptions (56), and is second on the team in receiving yards (592) and receiving touchdowns (four). He also recently broke the franchise record for most career receptions, surpassing Pro Football Hall of Famer Antonio Gates.
"[T]he man is a skilled wide receiver," Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham said. "I mean, you don't make that many catches just based off of savviness. Savviness probably came as he continued to see more and more reps and got to understand how people are trying to cover him and things of that nature. But it first starts with the skill. The thing also when they move him around, you have to make note of his intelligence to be able to play different spots, whether Z, X or the slot receiver. ... I mean, he's a smart player. He's a skilled player. And then on top of that, the years of experience lending to the savviness."
In the Raiders' Week 2 matchup against the Chargers, Allen caught five passes for 61 yards and a touchdown. He has eight career touchdown catches against the Raiders.
Chargers' makeshift rushing attack
Chargers rookie running back Omarion Hampton was designated to return off the injured reserve list, however will not play this week, per the team's injury report.
Hampton was the starting back when the Raiders faced the AFC West foe in Week 2. Since his injury, the Chargers have turned to a committee system with second-year player Kimani Vidal leading the team in rushing yards (417).
Behind Vidal for most Chargers' rushing yards is Justin Herbert, who has the fourth-most rushing yards of any quarterback this season with 345. Herbert also led the team in rushing yards in their Week 2 win over the Raiders.
On the flip side, the Raiders have held their opponents to less than 70 rushing yards four times this season. The only teams with more such games this season are the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots (five each).
The challenge of Jim Harbaugh
As Pete Carroll and John Harbaugh enter the next chapter within their storied rivalry, it will be a concerted effort to knock off the Chargers.
The Chargers have won all three games against the Raiders with Jim Harbaugh as their head coach, all by an 11+ point margin. Also with Harbaugh, the Chargers are 7-2 in division games. But considering the multiple changes made by both teams since Week 2, there could be a different result for the Raiders.
"They've had to make some adjustments because of their injuries that they've had," Carroll said. "So, as always, it's who you got on game day that's available to you. ... But they're a little bit different because they had to be, and they're really good coaches, so they've made really good adjustments, and they made the most of their personnel. One of the things they do, they really do highlight their personnel, and they use guys in roles, and it's very specific, and they've been doing that for a long time."
