COSTA MESA, Cal.—The Las Vegas Raiders invaded Costa Mesa, California, and even though the local NFL teams prevented tens of thousands of fans from attending, the Silver and Black marched on.

The Silver and Black are in the midst of their last week in Costa Mesa, as part of the 2024 NFL Training Camp.

Today, we offer our latest episode of the Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast, our fourteenth recap.

You can watch the entire podcast below:

The Raiders OC Luke Getsy spoke from camp and below is a partial transcript of what he said.

Q: Has he been more of an instrument for you in terms of teaching this offense because he's familiar with it?

Coach Getsy: “Yeah, I mean, not just what we have done in our past, but things that he's experienced since we've been apart, too. The time when I was coaching him in the receiver room, he taught me as much as anything – the feel of a route or the keys that I'm looking for when I'm running a route when I have to make a decision. All that stuff, those are conversations, and then you create something that you can both lean on each other. And so, you're putting in an installation together and you're explaining something and then you're letting your players have an opportunity to say, 'What do you guys feel about it?', or 'What are your expectations of this?' And he's someone who's experienced it and we're always going to listen, and I think that's a big part of someone who's experienced as much as he has."

Q: You obviously want to win every rep, but you're going against arguably one of the best defenses in the entire National Football League. How does it make you better? Even though you may not see all the wins you want from reps but the fact that the level of competition is so high.

Coach Getsy: "Yeah, that's the whole key to this thing. You're going through a process and when you call a play,there's an expectation of a play. And when you're going through installations, you're not necessarily scheming up the play to defeat whatever exact thing you're expected to get. But at the same time, you get really cool challenges within the play. And when guys are able to respond within a play that's not maybe perfect for that particular front, or particular show, and they're progressing it or they're going through it or making great decisions within it and maybe it's not the greatest opportunity forthe explosive, but now we went found a completion instead. Or the back, this wasn't the exact front that we wanted, but you went and got four (yards) instead of having a negative run. All that stuff gives you the confidence to be able to call those types of things and not kind of have this reservation of, ‘Oh, what's going to happen.’ And you start building confidence in those things because you don't always want to have the premier look, right? Yes, that's ideal for the play caller to have the premier look, but when these guys can perform the play when it's not the premier look, now you're really cooking."
