Adams, Raiders Advanced Entering McDaniels' Second Year
In this story:
The Las Vegas Raiders have one less thing to worry about this offseason: learning a new system.
With Coach Josh McDaniels entering his second year at the helm, the Silver and Black are ahead of where they were last year.
All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams and other returners could jump back into the system they had to learn last season when they took the field for OTAs on Thursday.
"I mean, we're in a different spot right now just having a year under our belt now with this system and with this coaching staff," Adams told the media after practice on Thursday. "I think part of it, to give the coaches a little bit of credit too, is they’re in a different place and obviously understand that we get it a little bit more now. So it's not really as much guys running around with their hair on fire. It’s a little bit more toned down, not that they're not getting after us, because they should as coaches still, but there's a little bit of these guys understand it and they’ve made progress, so we can kind of chill out a little bit too.
"I mentioned that to EB [Edgar Bennett] yesterday, I said I can feel that from the coaches, and I think that the players respond well to stuff like that. And obviously if we're not improving and we don't look better, I'm not expecting them to be that way. So, obviously that's a little bit of both sides working and kind of meeting in the middle.”
Adams is entering his second year with the Raiders. He posted 1,516 receiving yards and a league-leading 14 receiving touchdowns last season.
Adams was named to the All-Pro First Team for the third straight year for his impressive campaign. He was also selected to his sixth Pro Bowl.
The Raiders' offseason workout schedule is as follows:
OTA Offseason workouts: May 22-23, May 25, May 31-June 2, June 12-15
Mandatory Minicamp: June 6-8
