WATCH: LB Devin White Makes Speaks Before First Raiders Start

LAS VEGAS, Nev.-- The Las Vegas Raiders' group of linebackers took a massive hit early in the offseason when Robert Spillane and Divine Deablo left in free agency. However, the Raiders rebounded nicely by signing veteran linebacker Devin White, especially if he can return to form.

White spoke following the team's final practice before Sunday's game.

Following practice this week, Pete Carroll spoke to the media. We have a partial transcript below.

Q: In Seattle, you guys were 24-11 on games that started 10 AM local time. So in addition to probably the message of, don't make travel an excuse or anything like that, what practical things did you guys figure out on how to deal with that?

Head Coach Pete Carroll: "I love going to the East Coast to play games. That's it. We got our way of doing it, and I know we've had a lot of success doing that, and it's never been an issue for us."

Q: Geno Smith is known for having a highly competitive edge and spirit. I was wondering, what do you like about that from the guy at the quarterback position?

Coach Carroll: "No, I love that in all of our players, and he's no different than E-Rob [Elandon Roberts] or Maxx [Crosby], those guys. They got the same kind of juice that they bring to the game. And we know that sometimes it's appropriate and sometimes it isn't, so we just have to work it with the quarterback position. But Geno [Smith] has been a fiery competitor since a little kid, and that's him being himself, and I want him to be as true to him as he can possibly be. And so, we'll work at all the rest of it."

Q: How do you know when to tone it down or cave and do that?

Coach Carroll: "That's a good question. I really can't tell you that. That's moments. That's in the moments knowing what's going on with all the variables that are going on around it. But that's never been a problem. But you just got to feel it."

Q: The atmosphere was sensational today in practice. Can you tell us about it?

Coach Carroll: "We've had a great week. The whole preparation, all the way back to the springtime, has been leading to getting ready for this season coming up. This happens to be the first real game for us, an in-season game. And whether or not we hit it right or not, we're going to find out how we do and how we play. Really, what I want these guys to do is play like they're capable and go out there and play the game that they know how to play, that we’ve come to count on them to be and do. And if we do that, we'll be fine."
