McDaniels: Team Holding Accountability Sets a Standard

Raiders Coach Josh McDaniels says the team holding accountability sets a standard for the new generation of Las Vegas football.

Accountability, accountability, accountability.

There’s only so much a head coach can do to make that a standard in the locker room.

Ultimately, the team as a whole has to take accountability for themselves, good or bad, whether the head coach or any of the coaches are present or not.

So when the Las Vegas Raiders take accountability for their own mistakes and own up for their own mistakes, that’s exactly what you want when setting up the new era of the Raiders franchise.

“That's what you want,” Silver and Black Coach Josh McDaniels said after OTAs. “That’s what you want ultimately. Certainly, there's an element of direction and those kinds of things. But when they understand what the standard is and they realize that they're not living up to it, that means you got them thinking the right things.”

McDaniels went on to say there’s a level of commitment and belief in what the team as well as what their teammates are doing on the field when the team as a whole takes accountability for themselves without the direction of coaches and staff.

“If there's anything I can say about this group, I think they believe in themselves, their teammates, what they're doing, how they work,” McDaniels said. “And they want to put their best foot forward every day. And so, when they don't, I think they recognize that and they know they can do better, and they will.”
