Franchise History
실버 앤 블랙을 하나의 철학으로 만든 팀
레이더스의 영구 정체성은 단순한 연고지보다 강하다. 오클랜드, 로스앤젤레스, 다시 오클랜드, 그리고 라스베이거스로 이어졌지만 팀을 설명하는 기본 언어는 계속 남았다. 알 데이비스가 만든 실버 앤 블랙 이미지, 수직 패싱, 속도, 압박 수비, 그리고 이기는 것에 모든 가치를 두는 태도가 그 중심이다.
영구 기록 기준으로 보면 레이더스의 역사 축은 1967 AFL 챔피언십, Super Bowl XI, Super Bowl XV, Super Bowl XVIII로 이어진다. 1967년에는 다릴 라모니카와 조지 블랜다가 AFL 무대에서 팀의 폭발력을 증명했고, Super Bowl XI에서는 프레드 빌레트니코프의 루트 디테일과 윌리 브라운의 75야드 픽식스가 첫 우승을 굳혔다. Super Bowl XV의 짐 플렁킷, Super Bowl XVIII의 마커스 앨런은 레이더스가 서로 다른 방식으로도 우승할 수 있음을 보여준다.
이 팀의 유산은 경기장 안 성과만이 아니다. 톰 플로레스, 아트 쉘, 에이미 트래스크의 사례처럼 레이더스는 리그 안에서 누가 기회를 얻었는지와도 연결된다. 또한 짐 오토-진 업쇼-아트 쉘의 라인 계보, 윌리 브라운-레스터 헤이즈-마이크 헤인즈-찰스 우드슨의 세컨더리 계보, 레이 가이와 세바스찬 야니카우스키의 스페셜팀 계보가 팀 파일을 더 입체적으로 만든다.
