The first game of the season is being played in Los Angeles by the Las Vegas Raiders. Later tonight, they play the Chargers at SoFi Stadium.
We are here as usual.
However, we spoke with a few players to get the most recent information before they left for Los Angeles.
Anticipating the Los Angeles Chargers, I had a conversation with RB Alexander Mattison in the dressing room.
The press conference is available to watch below:
The full transcript of Coach Antonio Pierce’s remarks regarding the passing of DE Malcolm Koonce may be found below:
Malcolm Koonce was mentioned in yesterday’s injury report. Is he fit to play on Sunday?
Pierce, the coach: “He’ll be out.”
What took place during the drill?
Coach Pierce: “He’s going to be absent.” That took place in the midst of practice.”
Q: Teams under Jim Harbaugh are renowned for their heavy ball movement. Preseason play hasn’t always been the best for that. Before Sunday, how do you feel about the run defense?
Coach Pierce: “Yes, the football game last night was excellent to see. You witnessed a lot of excellent situational football, teams that enjoy running the ball, and the results of not stopping the run and showing discipline. And in order to prepare for this game for the past two weeks, we have been working on that lesson from the preseason.”
Q: It seems like you have to tread carefully when it comes to using bulletin board information as inspiration and simultaneously shutting off extraneous noise. What guidance have you provided the athletes regarding how to approach that?
“Just worry about the Raiders,” said coach Pierce.
Q: What are your thoughts on Janarius Robinson in light of the information you just sort of told us? What have you observed about him during the training camp, and what qualities appeal to you?
Coach Pierce: “Yeah, I mean, for all the guys, it’s next man up mentality when one guy gets out.” The good news is that Tyree Wilson and J Rob [Janarius Robinson] have plenty of playing experience and we anticipate that they will perform well.”
