The Las Vegas Raiders understand the value of strong competition at every position, and the signing of QB Gardner Minshew speaks to that. We caught up with him this week at OTAs and have everything he said.
HENDERSON, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders are experiencing an offseaon in which the entire franchise is engulfed in optimism, as Mark Davis has set the sail of the ship in one direction, led by GM Tom Telesco, and ultimately Coach Antonio Pierce.
Q: You've been in this situation where you had to pick up a new offense. Are there any tricks to the trade that you've learned to be able to streamline that process? Minshew: "Yeah, I think you kind of learn how you learn best. I think for me, it's a lot of voice recordings, hearing the play and walking through. Drawing it up doesn’t do as much for me personally. So, I think just figuring out what works for you, and then implementing that as much as you need to.
Q: Have you had a direct conversation about like, I understand we're competing, but this is how our relationship is going to work? Is that a conversation that happens? Minshew: "Not really, man, it's been pretty smooth. I think we had initial conversations of just getting to know each other. And I mean, one good thing about Aidan is he's a team guy, I'm a team guy, we both want to win, we both want to get better.
Q: Whether on offense or defense, who has stuck out to you the most so far? Minshew: "Man, I'd say Christian Wilkins. That dude is running so fast every single play. Wherever the ball is, you'll see him soon. He shows up. It's really impressive to be around a guy that nonstop works the way he does."
