Maxx Crosby Says He and Josh McDaniels Have 'Great Relationship'

It's always a different transition when bringing a new head coach.

It was especially a unique situation for the Las Vegas Raiders this season. The club started from scratch with a revised coaching staff after making the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season.

From the start, Raiders Pro Bowl defensive end Maxx Crosby developed a strong connection with Coach Josh McDaniels.

"Honestly, my experience has been great," Crosby said when he joined Tuesday's edition of the "Bussin' With The Boys" podcast. "I feel like every time you get a new coach in, there's new expectations. And I feel like it definitely takes time to adjust, you know, as a whole. Like if you're halfway in, halfway out, you're not going to last in the way he coaches. Like he has a very specific way that he wants things to be done. He's all about work ethic, all about doing the extra mile. That's how he approaches it, and I like it. We talked about it off camera. Me and him, we've had a great relationship ever since I got here.

"That's how I think; when it comes to training and stuff, I'm always doing extra. So it's nothing new to me when it comes to that. ... It's hard. It's not like a normal NFL team. ... Like we're really working, bro. Like even during the season, we were in pads like late in the season at some point."
