I had the fortune of interviewing Raiders RB Dylan Laube.
And I did it with my brother, Joe!
Joe asked Dylan about his stuttering journey, and I talked ball with him.
S/o @GraphkRaider for hooking this up, and @dylan_laube for his time & great answers!

Also, some perspective: The @Raiders normally practice on their outdoor grass field. That's why practices start at 7:30 am, to help beat the heat. They practiced today in their indoor facility, which is a turf field, not grass.
RAIDERS SUNDAY TRAINING CAMP PRACTICE RECAP: Ashton Jeanty goes down with an apparent lower-leg injury at practice, rookie RB Mike Washington Jr. took first team reps to finish out practice after Jeanty did not return @RNR920AM#Raiders
#Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty left practice early after suffering an apparent knee injury.
During the team period, he was diving for a catch and landed awkwardly. He was helped off the field by trainers and couldn’t put any pressure on his right leg.
Entire team took a knee and said a prayer.
🚨BREAKING🚨
Ashton Jeanty reportedly left Raiders practice on Sunday with an apparent knee injury, per @ryanmcfadden_.
He was helped off the field by trainers and didn't put any pressure on his right leg. The team gathered together, took a knee and said a prayer.
Not good.
History: the Browns are waiving tight end Dae’Quan Wright and, if he clears waivers, he has an agreement in place for the 2026 season to play for LSU, per agents Drew Rosenhaus and Kyle Lincoln.
Wright is believed to be the first player who could play for an NFL team, and then go back to play in college.
Ashton Jeanty is the Raiders' undisputed bellcow and RB1.
But Mike Washington Jr.'s play this preseason should earn him some snaps.
Not in a "committee approach," per se, but should Las Vegas rotate Jeanty and Washington Jr. somewhat frequently this season and beyond?
Tristin McCollum joined the Raiders at the 11th hour last season via the waiver wire.
And again this preseason, he's sneaking onto the roster, as he put together a great showing against the Texans.
McCollum is versatile, can tackle and plays on a variety of special teams units.
After a rough outing in the preseason opener, the Raiders' DL really stepped up against the Texans.
It's early, but after having no depth last season, Las Vegas may have some great second- and even third-stringers to rotate in up front.
Malik Benson has been the talk of Raiders training camp, and he had a good showing in preseason Week 1.
But he came back down to earth in his two-drop outing against the Texans.
He'll be fine, but this is a reminder of how young this team is and how early we are in the process.
Klint Kubiak's comments about the WR room changed the complexion of our latest 53-man roster projection.
Not much else changed, but some minor swaps and adjustments surely took place after the second preseason game.
