It appears to be universally accepted that the Raiders usually are not good this season, however head coach Antonio Pierce referred to as them “the worst team in football” throughout a press convention.
At 2-9, the Raiders are tied with the Giants and Jaguars for the worst report within the NFL, so it isn’t an excessive amount of of a shock to listen to Vegas known as the worst crew.
What’s stunning is when it’s coming from the crew’s personal head coach.
Pierce was discussing making an attempt to alter the narrative in regards to the crew forward of their Black Friday recreation in opposition to the Chiefs on Prime Video.
“Let’s call a spade a spade, the best team in football against the worst team in football,” Pierce stated on Wednesday. “Let’s change the narrative. Let’s go on the market and make it a dogfight, let’s make it ugly, let’s make it scrappy.
“It’s Black Friday, let’s create a little chaos, let’s get back to Raider football and have some fun and some personality. Let it loose.”
The Raiders could have a tall activity with making an attempt to topple the 10-1 Chiefs the day after Thanksgiving.
They may have Aidan O’Connell below middle for the sport on Friday and his return comes within the nick of time after Gardner Minshew went down for the remainder of the season with a damaged collarbone.
“We feel good about Aidan. He’s been dialed in,” Pierce stated, per Professional Soccer Discuss. “Obviously throughout this time he’s been on IR, he’s been in all the meetings; he’s been very encouraging on the sideline. He has that laser eye focus right now. Great opportunity for him.”
O’Connell had usurped Minshew for the starter job in Week 6, however he went down with a damaged thumb in Week 7.
“He carried himself like a starter. He carried himself like a starter even when he was on IR. He did that when he was a backup,” Pierce stated. “He did a great job of being engaged with the players, engaged on the sideline, in meeting rooms. He’s the one speaking up, talking. You can just look at his eyes; you look at his demeanor.”
