coach Antonio Pierce asked about the practice squad players on the sideline yesterday
“Every man’s in. If you’re on the team, you’re a part of the team, you’re there on game day”
If you didn’t already get why these guys want to play for AP then this should tell you…

RB Josh Jacobs
"I'm tired of losing, just keep it 100, I'm tired of f*cking losing"

#Raiders

QB Aiden O'Connell
"I'm learning how how hard it is in the NFL and how hard it is to win...our defense did an awesome job keeping us in the game"

In his first game as a Raider Jimmy G helped a resilient group of
#Raiders
win their 7th straight game against AFC West foe Denver
After the game his teammates said he's a "dog" and a "gamer"
Safe to say they love their QB
Davante Adams is happy the
#Raiders
won on Sunday but said they need to have some "convincing victories" rather than getting used to just "squeezing out" wins
"You can win a game and look shitty and we've done that too many times"

#Raiders
DE Maxx Crosby on Aiden O'Connell
"Aiden's a young quarterback in his 4th start so, we believe in him fully...he made a lot of really good plays. There's probably some plays that he wants back. I know he's super critical and that's what you want"
#Raiders
QB Derek Carr on DeSean Jackson
"I don't have to go out there and teach him anything. He already knows what I'm thinking...he's one of, if not the best deep threats to ever play"
#Raiders
fans who called for this have to give Mark Davis credit for pulling the trigger after only 25 games
He’s still on the hook to pay McDaniels for the next 4 years
It’s been bad for awhile now but to eat that much money is crazy.
The right move for the future of his…
