Las Vegas Raiders Antonio Pierce Midweek Presser Baltimore Ravens Week #lasvegasraiders #raiders

just you had any update on Ty Wilson after out of the game on Sunday yeah still not looking good we'll know probably later on this week but not looking good I know you guys Place knock CL on on IR last week um you didn't have full details on his status do you have any more additional information on could he poten come back this season co uh as of right now he's still out AP is you watched the film and were able to analyze your offense I know you're not going to tell us your state Secrets not asking for that but were you able to identify the key areas that you felt that caused the struggle and how to correct it yeah I thought you know interior o line short yardage football um missed opportunities you know we crossed that 50 several times and didn't put any points on the board but maybe excuse me one two times uh the other ones just didn't go our way either you know pilles sacks turnover just wasn't good enough and you know I think when our offense look at it you know it's you always want to give credit to other team granted but there are some self inflicted wounds there that we obviously we can fix and we can detail and fine tune we talked about that in went in depth and then obviously you know Raiders can't beat the Raiders when it comes down just to simple things just doing those things better you talk about self-inflicted wounds when you watch back the tape take away those two turnovers from Gardner how different do you think the game would be and how much of an emphasis is that you know going forward yeah I think you just have to look at the two minute Dr right before the first half you know S3 ball game game we're close we're right there in field position and we're thinking about doubling up right scoring right before the end of half scoring again we get the ball you know after half time a little momentum Swift changed there but not going to ever go back and and and reflect on that it is what it is we had opportuni still in that game to have a chance to win and I thought Gardner for the most part you know handled the operations the tempo what we wanted to accomplish but again you got to establish a running game you can't just sit there and just drop back and just you know let these guys te off for our quarterback we have to do a better job of establishing Run game you've talked about the difficulties of Defending a quarterback like Lamar Jackson um how much discipline does that take uh especially on the defensive line when you're rushing not to over rush and just be disciplined in that regard yeah it's going to take all 11 guys to do their job you hear this all the time but it's true if you see our guys run up the field running past the quarterback you know just pack your backs it's going to be a long day for the Raiders we got to do a job good job you know when I play we play against Vic know we call it kage Rush kind of keeping them in you see Lamar he has the ability to Slither his way out of it but it's very difficult think about the second level Defenders and your DBS right they're 12 to 14 yards deep all of a sudden he steps up in the A and B guy what do you do you stay back in coverage or do you go attack the quarterback so really critical our front that we are detailed and do our job in our assignment and what's act in the game plan more importantly linebackers having Vision filling the routes around them in our secondary everybody's eyes got to be on eight but also fill in the routes around us Alexander Madison was one of the great spots offensively I know you've already praised him and you already knew he was going to be a part of your offense but you expect him to have bigger role going forward yeah I think anybody can help us win bigger role but you know to be honest I thought Samir had some good stuff there right we had a penalty we had a fumble and he backed that up right after the fumble another eight yard run those are the kind of runs we expect 16 12 yard runs eight yard runs to get going Alex I thought did an outstanding job more important I know he had a great uh catch and and hurdle but then just in pass Pro very physical you know he got the tough yard so I've said before whoever can help us win the hot hand we'll roll with that I know it's been kind of a start stop start stop for Jackson po Johnson but um if he's able to get on the practice field this week is there a chance that he could be out there on Sunday he be active I don't know you know I mean how many practices we had but today he'll be out there at practice so that's that's step one I know you talked a lot in the preseason about you know run defense needing to improve and I know it was good in the first half against the Char breakdowns in the second half moving forward especially against a team like the Ravens M Lamar Jackson but also Derrick Henry how important is that to this week yeah I mean 37 plus 35 Plus runs they had in the game and four of them we fit up wrong I mean it's do your job each and every play right you're second level linebacker fit the Gap accordin if you're D linan you no jumping around playing peekabo um it's critical and then I think our team really understood that because you know late in game you're down guys are trying to make plays you can't do that got to keep staying play you know team defense those are the good teams that play in the month of January and February and that's what we're striving to do you mentioned the Run game how important that is to get going but with that comes to play action as well how important is it going to be to take a couple shots to try to loosen things up a little yeah you canot play action with a run game that's what I going to go back to like you know we got to establish the Run we got to get zir running going we got to get Alex going we gotta get our whole line going right the juice and the flow stars are those big boys and I always say when those guys are ripping and rolling and coming off the Rock and finishing down the field we're a good football team and that obviously will open up our passing game our play action our Keepers our boots everything else of that nature wasn't a lot of 12 Personnel last week was that because of match ups or because say one more time there wasn't a lot of 12 personel last week 15 60 plays 12 personel something we talked about all pre-season since hours tra is that a match up thing what was the reason for not using 12 just proba the game the way the flow of the game but it was some 12 and some 13 there as well so I mean listen we're fortunate we got some good skilled players across the board sometimes the way the game go you don't get enough snaps at a certain personel group when you were talking about Lamar you mentioned going against dick as a player how much do that experience for you as a carry over as a coach to preparing for a guy like this huge and then Division I played in you know went up against donov McNab each and every year and that was always difficult and Vic ends up with the Eagles towards the end of my career so um we talked about that in depth in the defensive staff room I've had my conversation with the players the good part about it some of these guys have went up against a player like this just a few years ago when the Raiders played Ravens in 2021 I believe um the key thing like I said man just is just being disciplined we're talking about one the best best football players the National Football League it's not going to take one guy it's take R 11 it's going to take 60 Minutes of doing it I mean we might do it right just like the other day the entire game and the last two minutes if we blow it we blow it right nobody G talk about the other 58 minutes on top of Lamar Jackson you also have Derrik Henry to contend with how you try to Preparing the team for that yeah big boy football strap it up like I said hard hat mentality grab a couple ad from Chris in the training room it's going to hurt talk about wanting to establish the run when you look at a linebacker like will Clan Smith you know what do you see on tape that you really like impressive love watching them play smart intelligent leader tone Setter I mean you can see the difference when he shipped over from when they got when they made the trade from Chicago to Baltimore I was like wow okay like now he's on Front Street now everybody can see who's probably the best football player in football especially one of the linebackers but I just love his you know intensity I love how he tackles I love how he breaks each and every play um you you truly appreciate the linebacker play you watching you mentioned Tyre you know mon his status this week you guys signed Chase sign to the the practice squad yesterday what did you guys see in him yeah I mean there's a bunch of talent there I think there's still some UNT untapped Talent there as well he's 25 years old and again listen we're battling with injuries at that position here's a guy that can help us he's played a lot of football he's experienced and he has a little he has a little juice in his legs that we need right now consistency the preseason and the offense just came out pretty disjointed fits it starts the first are you going to take a different approach toward the first game of the year where was that a result of just a timing the first game kind of thing or did you see other issues going on in terms of the lack of consistency like I said I think it was a lot of self-inflicted stuff I mean to be honest we only have one p on offense and it hurt us it's in a critical play where we got to the ball to the 35 yard line and then there was those other ones where you know we get the ball in plus 45 and we take back to back sacks you know or we we miss a read or we have a turnover so a lot of self-inflicted stuff the timing can pick up we can pick up our operation our speed obviously but I will say this I think we seen across the National Football League a lot of teams in week one didn't look like they'll probably look the rest of the season that's what we're Bing what were your impressions of the Brock's first game impressive impressive I thought you know butterflies is there young rookie you know I don't care how much football you've played in SEC or anything like that you got there your first game it's real it's different and U you can just tell how he was once he got that first catch he kind of came on the sideline sh is match right in front Okay then made a big play down down the field later on but I just think there's more so much more there not just with Brock but even with Big Mike you know I thought they made some great catches and what I love about both of them really physical in the Run game you know they had some tough match up going against B Ma and the things we ask to do and they just shy away AP there's an adage that most teams make their most Improvement between game one and two has that been something you've noticed over your career and something that you're looking for obviously forward to this week yeah cuz it's a wakeup call right obviously OB when you lose a game everybody's self-reflection 101 right we're in school right now we're trying to figure out like what happened you go back and look at your last Monday Tuesday throughout the week how can you get better I think it's players you do the same thing you know you might think you're ready you might thought you was prepared for something but was you really but I think for all of us as a staff as we get to know each other and again year one putting this whole bad boy together quarterback you know offensive coordinator those guys jelling together I mean no excuses but you know just three weeks ago we named men the starter so there there's still a lot of growth man they for we're not a finished product we want to play our best football in December but we better get off to a fastest start we need to in week two think this franchise is one and S last eight games on the East Coast um I guess what is your philosophy what have you learned over your career that might help maybe with this trip I know you were East Coast guy as a player a little different for you but what what can you take from that yeah I mean we try to speed up our clock like we doing today you know we woke up earlier start our day at 6 o'clock in the morning try to be on the same time as the the East Coast so when we out to practice it'll be around 11: and we'll shorten that down to about 10 :30 on Friday just try to speed up our clock get guys up so when we get over there Saturday at 4 4 p.m. you know we kind of get on that East Coast uh clock but and then they man it's just getting off to a fast start I think for any team that travels on the road I don't care if we just went one state over like we did last week to California can turn the ball over got to play good red zone defense and you gota be good on third Downs those things travel and then obviously defense does travel and we're banking on that as well guys good than
