Podcast: What To Look for in Joint Practices vs. Rams

HENDERSON, Nev.--Since he first arrived in Las Vegas, Josh McDaniels has been preaching and seeking consistency from the Silver and Black.

Finally, he is starting to see the building blocks of laying that foundation.

Consistency in life or sports is the key to success, and for the past two decades, the only consistency in the Raiders organization has been anything but positive.

So riding the momentum of a very successful offseason and seeing that carry over into the first three weeks of training camp, it is imperative to see it in Los Angeles.

You can watch my latest Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast in which I discuss what to look for in joint practices with the Los Angeles Rams below:

I asked Coach Josh McDaniels about how vital consistency is versus the Rams, and he told me: "I don't think it's any more important than any other days. 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."

McDaniels can tell what he is building and that they are finally learning to walk.

I asked him if, after watching the film whether anyone stood out to him. He wanted none of that.

"Not necessarily one specific person or another," McDaniels said. "I think there were some guys -- like I said after the game, I thought our players played with decent effort and competitiveness throughout. I like that across the board. And I think that we had a number of guys who did some decent things, but I also know that there's enough guys who -- they all played enough plays to be able to go in there and try to make some corrections tomorrow. So, I wouldn't say anybody specifically stood out."

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.
