Flashpoint Focus: Hope for Raiders Entering New Era

About this episode

The episode discusses the Raiders' transition to a new era and features news updates and guest appearances.

Dan Hanzus & Marc Sessler are joined by Conor Orr for our last show before NFL Draft Week! We start by running through some news items: DT Dexter Lawrence wants out of New York (for real), Troy Aikman will likely be in the draft room for the Dolphins next week, the Commanders unveiled new uniforms and a new secondary logo, and NFL reporter Dianna Russini has resigned from her post at the Athletic. After the break, we're joined by a surprise guest to combat Conor's take on the Australia NFL game, and then Zak Keefer stops by for a special Flashpoint Focus looking at the Raiders recent history as they transition to a new era. 0:00 One Week Away 1:26 Mock Sessler Marc Draft Tease 4:56 Giants DT Dexter Lawrence 11:57 Troy Aikman & Dolphins 19:39 Commanders Logo 26:57 Dianna Russini Resigns 30:13 Special Guest Appearance 42:05 Flashpoint Focus: Raiders New Era 1:08:21 Wrap Up --------- Shop HTC merch! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.heedthecallpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support the Heed the Call Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/heedthecall⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the #48.4…
