The Las Vegas Raiders have put their trust and support into QB Aidan O'Connell and the early results from his offseason of hard work are promising. He spoke after OTAs and we have everything he said for you.
HENDERSON, Nev.--The Las Vegas Raiders are experiencing an offseaon in which the entire franchise is engulfed in optimism, as Mark Davis has set the sail of the ship in one direction, led by GM Tom Telesco, and ultimately Coach Antonio Pierce.
Q: Considering how you were thrown in last year and sort of took over the offense, is there a little bit more of a comfort zone for you coming in? I mean, there's a quarterback competition, but where is your mindset and your nerves? O'Connell: "Yeah, I think it is a change because it's a new offense. So, it's a little bit like starting over. But at the same time, it is my now second year in the NFL.
Q: There's been a lot of conversation about what you did in the offseason, you were really here a lot and working on yourself. What all went into that? O'Connell: "Me and my wife are both from the Midwest. So, I think a big part of it was we didn't want to go back to the cold, we just wanted to stay in Vegas. But obviously just to be here with our strength coaches in our facility with the resources we have is awesome.
Q: Whether it was intentional or coincidental, a lot of action to the tight ends as well. You threw some touchdown passes to your tight ends. How big of a factor can they be and what kind of comfort level does that create for you? O'Connell: "Well, I think we have a lot of confidence in really all those guys to make plays. Those guys are so impressive, they've got to run with the little guys and block the big guys and they've got to be really smart, too.
Q: You mentioned one system but three coordinators now in a year. To hear the different voices, how difficult has that process been? O'Connell: "I think it's definitely a change, but again it's not unique to me. Some guys do that in one year and even less than that. And so, it's just trying as fast as I can to really steal time back and try to continue to go over things over and over.
Q: Going back to the question about three systems, is it a matter of you fitting your style into a system or changing your style to fit within the system? O'Connell: "Yeah, I think it's kind of both. I think again, Coach Getsy does a good job of even saying to us he wants to make it comfortable for us and wants us to feel comfortable when the play is called.
