Raiders Insider Podcast: Full Joint Practice No. 2 Report

On this episode of the Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast, we give you a FULL joint practice No. 2 report from today's battle with the San Francisco 49ers.

HENDERSON, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders completed their first joint practice of the preseason against the San Francisco 49ers earlier today.

We were there and have a complete report on what happened. You can watch our entire podcast below:

Joint practices have become more critical in the National Football League than preseason games.  That is why the last two days are so vital to the viability of the Silver and Black in 2023.

The Las Vegas Raiders, for the second straight time, won today's practice, which is a big deal considering many people, including this reporter, would not be shocked to see the San Francisco 49ers back in the Super Bowl when the dust settles from the 2023 season.

I asked Coach Josh McDaniels about the success of the last two days, and as expected, he had a coach's tone: " There are no scoreboards out there, you know what I mean? And so, I think there were a lot of repetitions by both sides where both teams did some things very well and the other team is going to learn from them. That's kind of how I look at these practices. I don't really try to worry about who's got the advantage in terms of winning the practice or the period. I just really focus on each individual play or period and what the focus is. I thought our team was really into whatever that segment was; red zone defense, two-minute, move the field."

McDaniels continued: "We had some different things going on today that I thought that you could see their awareness, and that's really what this practice is about is being able to see if you have 11 guys out there who know what's going on, are aware of the situation, how much time is remaining you, what down is it? Like I said, it's hard to simulate that when you're on your own. And so, to be able to do that, I felt like we were improving in that area. We saw a lot of things last night in the film that we needed to do better as a football team. I think our guys had great intentionality today in terms of like, let me try to fix something that I can control. We'll see what the tape shows, but there are always going to be things to fix.”

The Silver and Black open the preseason by hosting the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Aug. 13, at 4 p.m. EDT/1 p.m. PDT.
