Carrying over the good vibes and optimism built during OTAs and minicamp is often the name of the game for NFL teams when they enter training camp.
For the Las Vegas Raiders, progression from the initial year under head coach Josh McDaniels and his coaching staff to Year 2 is the focus. The Silver & Black training camp will showcase if lessons were indeed learned and there’s tangible improvement in a re-tooled roster with all eyes towards bettering a 6-11 performance the season before.
Training camp is a solid barometer of that. Especially when the pads come on and contact is allowed.
