Kirk Cousins expected to bolster Raiders' offensive line play

The Las Vegas Raiders are counting on new quarterback Kirk Cousins to improve their offensive line performance this season. Cousins, who previously played for the Atlanta Falcons, showed a strong ability to avoid sacks, being sacked 12.7 percent of the time under pressure. In contrast, former Raiders quarterback Geno Smith had a much higher rate of 28.1 percent. The Raiders aim to enhance their offensive line with new additions and coaching, hoping this will support Cousins in reducing pressures and sacks during games.
