The begin of the new league season is less than a week away, but many Las Vegas Raiders have been returning to the facility as early as closing month.
The Raiders have neglected the postseason for two straight years, and it seems the team is fed up with the consistent failure.
“It’s shocking,” stated Raiders Coach Antonio Pierce at the NFL Combine on Feb. 28. “I mean, we’re talking somewhere from 17 to 25 gamers considering after the Super Bowl every and every day. And I don’t comprehend why, but they appear to like to be round the building a little bit more.
“They seem to understand what they can do to get better and help us get better and win, and I stated this prior to my ultimate press conference: there’s some meat on the bone. And guys felt like there is unfinished business, the season ended, and they wanted more. And that attitude has carried over into some of our core guys.
“And our major guy, who’s here every day, Maxx Crosby, at 6 a.m. — which he used to be here these days — they’re following his lead, and it truly is excellent to see, man. And I stated it goes back to even Aidan [O’Connell] — those guys are leading with the aid of example, and whoever we carry in this horrific boy, they bought to observe their lead or they obtained to get out. And it is just how we’re going to roll.
“But it’s truly dazzling to see that they desire to be around the constructing due to the fact I know how I was once when I was a player; when the season used to be over, I was getting the hell out of dodge. I wanted to get the furthest away from the coaches and the facility. And I suppose we create a tradition and a in shape at the building the place it’s OK to grasp out.
“We’re not going to step on your toes. … Listen man, at the stop of the day, we’re going to see effects when we get out there in the spring and, greater importantly, when we get to training camp.”
