Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce told reporters on Friday that edge rusher Malcolm Koonce will be out for the Raiders' Week 1 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Las Vegas Raiders took a huge blow going into their Week 1 meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers.
The fourth-year Raider was perhaps the team's most improved player last season, totaling 43 tackles, nine for losses and 8.0 sacks while playing in all 17 games. He made 11 starts. Q: How much does it change the preparation process? You know what Jim Harbaugh's done in the past including the college, but it's a new staff, how much do you change that preparation process?
Coach Pierce: "Yeah, just you have to be prepared, and you have to think ahead. I mean, there's a lot of things that's going to come up in this game, either through personnel, scheme, a player with, 'What's his role', and then you find out at halftime. And that's what we really spent the last two weeks on, even before this upcoming week. Going into the Niners, we were already kind of dialed in on the Chargers.
Q: You talked about the respect you have for Coach Harbaugh and you guys were both linked to thisjob during the off season. Do you internalize that different from a coach's perspective now, where maybe as a player, that would be bulletin board material, further motivate you as a player, and it's different now as a coach?
