Josh McDaniels Details Schedule For Los Angeles

The Las Vegas Raiders didn't take much time to bask in their 34-7 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Not long after, the team flew out to Southern California, where it will have joint practices with the Los Angeles Rams this week.

"The thought process with the logistics here relative to the mandatory day off and those types of things -- we can't travel on a mandatory day off," Raiders Coach Josh McDaniels said when he addressed the media in a virtual press conference Monday, "so, we didn't want to -- we just thought this was the best thing logistically for us, is to go ahead and travel after the game, and that way, we can kind of have our feet on the ground here and not try to do too much the day before we're getting ready to practice with another football team.

"Meaning, if we take the day off at home Monday and then try to go over the San Francisco stuff Tuesday at our place, hurry up and kind of cram in something for L.A., and then, travel in the same day, and then, get up and go practice with them, we just didn't feel like that was conducive to giving ourselves the best opportunity to have a productive day. So, we thought this was best."

The Raiders-Rams joint practices begin Wednesday.

"I don't think it's any more important than any other days," McDaniels said. "We'd like to continue to improve as a team in each phase, I think that's the most important thing against a good team that's very well coached with different schematic challenges. So, I think our team has been consistent in terms of their approach.

"Now, we're trying to fine tune some of the details, depending on the phase we're talking about in our game so we can improve. And so, there's a lot of things we saw last night and this morning on the film that we know we can do better, and we're going to need to do better as we go forward. So, we'll be hard at work tomorrow discussing that with our team, and then hopefully we can make some progress here in L.A."

The Silver and Black return to preseason action when they play the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on Saturday, Aug. 19, at 9 p.m. EDT/6 p.m. PDT.
