Raiders Insider Podcast: Full Training Camp Report
HENDERSON, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders players have the day off after the first two days in pads and abnormally physical practices.
Usually, in training camp, coaches constantly remind players to be cautious with physicality. Still, Coach Josh McDaniels is out to change the narrative of the Silver and Black, and he wants the once-feared eye patch to carry the intimidation of the past.
In today's episode of the Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast, we take you inside the camp and offer you a front-row seat.

In today's episode, we tackle a myriad of issues, including:
· Earlier this week, there was a trash-talking incident between defensive end Maxx Crosby and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
· What happened, why did Crosby run afterward, and was it good for the team?
· One rookie defender wanted to go one-on-one with wide receiver Davante Adams; the result was expected. What happened afterward should excited Raider Nation.
· The new theme of the Raiders is speed and toughness. It used to be what made this franchise, but the Silver and Black moved away from that, and Coach Josh McDaniels wants it to go back.
· Some rookies are making significant strides now that pads are on; we tell you who they are and what they are doing.
· Last year, you saw a Raiders offense that was not fully reflective of what Josh McDaniels wants; we tell you how they are rectifying that and not only why you can expect the changes to be effective in 2023 but why they weren’t in 2022.
· The Raiders first-round pick (seventh-overall) defensive end Tyree Wilson is progressing. We give you an analysis of where he is in his progress.
· The Raiders have brought in several players for evaluations. It isn’t a sign of panic; we take you inside the mind of General Manager Dave Ziegler to understand why he is doing it and how that benefits the Silver and Black moving forward.
· The Raiders re-signed quarterback Chase Garbers. We tell you what that means for Jimmy Garoppolo, Brian Hoyer and Aidan O’Connell.
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.
