The Las Vegas Raiders are on their own in training camp this year.
The Raiders are currently holding training camp in Costa Mesa, California, roughly 270 miles away from home."The key thing is, when you go to training camp and you go away, it's a brotherhood. It's us against the world. The good thing about it, can't have fans here, right? So, we're going to have to entertain one another. And sometimes, it's a good thing. When you're in training camp at home, you get to run to mom and dad and the family and the kids and the wife.
"I think it's going to be really critical for our team to become the tightest unit possible. It's all peaches and cream right now, right? The sun's bright. There's going to be some dark moments and some dark days, and we're going to have to be ready to go through some adversity together.""I love it," the Compton native said. "30 miles from where I grew up. When the plane hit the tarmac, I smiled. It felt good for me to be home. I'm excited.
"Bonding, competition, physicality, creating the Raider identity, and then really putting our stamp on what we want to have our play style look like, both on offense, defense and special teams," Pierce said. The Raiders' final day in Costa Mesa will be Aug. 7. Their first preseason game will be just three days later.
