The Las Vegas Raiders have their work minimize out for them once more this season.
They’re anticipated to be a much-improved staff, now that they employed head coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly.
Additionally they traded for quarterback Geno Smith and drafted working again Ashton Jeanty, and that must be greater than sufficient to take an enormous leap on offense.
Sadly, they nonetheless should cope with the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas Metropolis Chiefs twice a 12 months.
Maxx Crosby isn’t afraid of that.
The defensive finish claimed that whereas the Chiefs might need the very best quarterback within the league, he’s all the time trying ahead to the problem as a result of he believes he’s the very best at his place within the NFL.
“It’s final respect relating to [the Chiefs],” Crosby stated. “They’ve earned it. They’ve received three Tremendous Bowls, they’ve obtained the very best quarterback in soccer. However for us, as a move rusher, I’m going in opposition to the very best quarterback. For me, I imagine I’m the very best move rusher on the earth, so each time we match up it’s [a] match made in heaven.”
Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt would possibly wish to have a say on this dialog, however there’s no denying that if Crosby isn’t the very best, he’s on the rostrum.
Crosby performs with the fireplace and depth of an underdog on each snap, and that form of willpower could make him seem like the highest move rusher within the league when he’s at his finest.
The AFC West is maybe probably the most aggressive division within the league proper now, as now even the Raiders is likely to be within the combine to make the playoffs.
Staying wholesome will probably be essential for Crosby, and it’ll be good to see him put up one other sturdy marketing campaign.
