Gruden still has no regrets about Mack trade

The Oakland Raiders are 0-2 to start the year, and lack a pass rush capable of getting to opposing quarterbacks.

Nonetheless, Raiders head coach Jon Gruden still has no regrets about trading pass-rushing extraordinaire Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears before the season started.

"No, it doesn't make me regret making the decision," Gruden said on Monday, per Jerry McDonald of the San Jose Mercury News.

Through two games, the Raiders rank second-last in sacks with just two on the season. In his first game with the Bears, Mack recorded a sack, interception, forced fumble, and fumble recovery. He'll look to add to those totals Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks.

Gruden has been critical of the Raiders' pass rush, leading many to respond that the answer to his problems would have been Mack.

"There's going to be hindsight, 50-50, all that stuff. We would have loved to have had him here. I'm not going to keep rehashing this," Gruden said. "I would have loved to have coached him, loved to have had him here, but he's not here and somebody's gotta step up."
