HENDERSON, Nev.-The Las Vegas Raiders ****** will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, at SoFi Stadium at 1:25 PT.Josh McDaniels took time to take a deep dive into the state of the Silver and Black prior to kicking off the ****** season.You can watch his entire pre s conference below, and read the transcript:Head Coach Josh McDanielsOpening statement: Opening week. Exciting obviously for our guys. You can sense a different urgency and energy in here. Opening day is always an exciting time of the year, there's also always some unknowns. We're hard at work, trying to really get to know this team. There are definitely some new faces that they have that we haven't really seen a whole lot of yet. But we're trying to piece together the film from other teams and other places to study the opponent as much as we can, while we're getting familiar with the schemes that the coaches obviously have used in the past. There's always going to be an element of adjusting and those kinds of things on the very first game of the year. Our guys obviously have a great excitement and enthusiasm about them today that I sense to just start this preparation for this team. It'll be a big challenge. They're a really good football team and obviously have added a lot of new faces through free agency and the draft. We know how good they were last year, and Adrian Killins Jr. Jersey they've improved their football team, and this is going to be a big challenge on the road. Q: From your experience, how much do you rely on what happened in years past as opposed to what might come? What's the expediency that you guys can move off whatever the game plan might have been coming in based on what they did before to adjust to something that maybe you didn't anticipate?Coach McDaniels: I think you have to go in feeling comfortable about what you're going to do. The best Netane Muti Jersey you can do is give your players an opportunity to an educated opinion on what we might see. We've seen some film from the preseason, it's not extensive in terms of scheme. It's not extensive in terms of players playing with one another. But you have a roundabout idea of what it's going to be. But I think opening day really is about two things it's about following your rules, and you're going to find a lot about yourself because you may see some things that you have never practiced that week, that maybe you practiced in the spring or maybe you practiced in training camp, but it comes up because it's something different that didn't expect. And then it's really about adjusting, if you need to, which there's probably been very few opening days that I've been a part of where that hasn't been in nece sity to some degree. It doesn't have to be a huge swing in one direction or the other. But if you're seeing something that for the first time, you may need to go over there and have a conversation about how we handle it on defense, or special teams, or offense, whatever it may be, and then make a subtle adjustment and try to keep playing. But most of us are going to Sam Martin Jersey go out there and try to do what we know how to do you and kind of let the game come to us a little bit. Every once in a while, you play somebody that will give you some stuff. We're going to prepare for what we've seen. We can't really prepare for the things we don't know, so we're just going to focus on the things we can see on film, and the players that we know are going to be there, and we'll adjust if we need to.Q: Do you enjoy the in-game adjustments you have to make on the sidelines?Coach McDaniels: Yeah. I think that's part of the fun. Hopefully, we're going to present some of those to somebody too at some point. Like I said, you don't go into opening day and it's just vanilla ice cream. Usually there's maybe some chocolate and some sprinkles somewhere. (laughter) It's probably a little bit more toned down on opening day because you're not exactly sure. We just got to make sure we know what's in our cone to start the game and figure out exactly how we're going to play the game on our terms. So, let our guys go out there and know what their a signments are, be confident in what they're doing. And then once it happens, yeah, the strategic part of it is fun. That's why we do this. There are great coaches on the other sideline this week, and there is every week. So, they're going to present some challenges to us, we know that. That won't be the first time and so that's our responsibility to try to provide our players with an answer, or a solution, if there's something that's bothering us, and we'll try to do that as quickly as we can.Q: Since training camp, what is an area of concern that you wasted time worrying about that pleasantly surprised you?Coach McDaniels: I really think that the overall depth on our football team has taken shape. You never know how thats going to be. Like I said, when we got here there was ****** or so players on the team and then you end up with ****** going to camp. That's a lot of guys that haven't lined up in a Raiders uniform that you're trying to kind of bring together and then teach them how to play with one another and those kinds of things. So, initially, how many guys do you really start with that really know each other? Not many. Denver Broncos T Shirts But as they've grown, as they've taken reps with each other, they've gotten more communication with one another, and they've gotten more comfortable. This is always the week that tests that, almost more than any other week because I don't know anybody is in midseason shape or form. There's not any player in the league, or most players, have not played an entire game yet. You're going to need to use the guys that are active at the game. That's just the way it is. You don't go and play ****** of the ****** or 48. If they're there, you're probably going to use them because it's the right thing to do, early in the season especially. I'd say the depth on our team has really kind of evolved. It's taken some form for us. And we're not going to be afraid to play them. They're at the game for a reason. They've earned Jerry Jeudy T Shirts it and they're going to have to go out there and get their feet wet. Some of them younger than others, as you know.Q: A lot has been made about the offense from the outside looking in. Are you excited now to see the guys who didnt play in the preseason and looking forward to what this can become?Coach McDaniels: I'm excited about our team. To your point, our offense has put in a lot of time together here. We haven't nece sarily done it in a preseason game yet. So, yeah, I'm excited about that. There are players that are going to get integrated into our system offensively, defensively, or in the kicking game that I'm kind of interested to see. Whether they be young players or somebody that I haven't really been around too much. I'm excited for all three units
