Maxx Crosby Talks on Defensive Line Chemistry
With the Raiders training camp officially kicking off, there is a lot to look forward to and watch for the Raiders this upcoming 2023-24 NFL season.
One thing to look forward to for the Raiders this upcoming season is the very talented defensive line.
Defensive end Maxx Crosby leads the Raiders' line along with veteran Chandler Jones and rookie edge rusher Tyree Wilson. This new trio could be the NFL's best defensive line trio throughout the entire 2023-24 NFL season.
It is still very early to see the chemistry between the new trio and the rest of the Raider's defensive line chemistry.
Crosby had the opportunity to talk with the media on day one of the Raiders training camps, explaining the chemistry on the defensive line so far.
"Yeah, the standards already been set. We've already made that very clear what our goals are and what we're doing on a daily basis, the non-negotiables. So yeah, it started yesterday; conditioning test went great, everybody did well. And then today we're running after practice, not just half of us, it's all of us every single day and that's not changing. So, we've got certain things that we set out that, like I said, non-negotiables, and we've got to do that every single day.
"It's up to me, it's up to the leaders to hold everybody to that standard. I think Robbie [Rob] Leonard, Matt Edwards, all those guys are doing a great job of leading that group as well. They're doing an awesome job of building this room up. We've got a ton of guys. We have like 18 dudes in the D-line room. So, it's been awesome. It's a good mixture of everybody, and everybody's just embracing it, so it's a good start."
There is still lots of training camp left for the Raiders' defensive line to build around their chemistry fully, and it will be exciting to watch what the chemistry will be like once the regular season starts.
The Silver and Black open the preseason by hosting the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Aug. 13, at 4 p.m. EDT/1 p.m. PDT.
