Las Vegas Raiders OT Delmar 'DJ' Glaze spoke from the locker room ahead of the Silver and Black hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend at Allegiant Stadium.
HENDERSON, Nev. — The Las Vegas Raiders , despite Davante Adams’ drama, are moving forward as they prepare to host the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Coach Pierce: "Yeah, I hate to use it, but it's a teaching lesson, and it's something that we try to do on the sideline as that was happening. You could feel it. It was real. I'm not going to hide from it, right? We could feel the air a little bit from our team and say, 'Guys, it's one play.' And when we really look at that game, probably two series later, we had the ball at the 50-yard line and we had a great opportunity to make a play. We didn't do it.
Coach Pierce: "Yeah, I think we all were a little disappointed in our special teams. The coverage, obviously we lost leverage a few times, didn't really seal an edge on them and allow the returner either to crease us or to get to the sideline, and that's something that we worked on. And the object of every week is to put our best 11 out there, and we're going to work on that this week.
Coach Pierce: "I'm tired of losing good players, that's never good. But I tell you what, up to that point Christian was pretty dominant in that first half – a sack, two TFLs, running around, and it happened early in the second quarter. He played on it, that's a really tough SOB there. And Christian, right away went and got it fixed, and he was there this morning at 6am trying to get ready, talking about being back in a couple weeks.
Coach Pierce: "Oh yeah, when I was playing, he was coaching, and he's been winning, he's been winning. He's winning. He just wins. He wins. I know we always judge him on championships, but each and every year to have a winning season, to get a team ready to play their style of play, their identity, right? You know what Steeler football looks like. That's hats off to him.
Q: You talk about next man up a lot. Do you like the complimentary pieces around Aidan O'Connell to help him now that he's kind of be reentered into the spot?
