The Las Vegas Raiders look to end the preseason a perfect 4-0 Friday when they host the New England Patriots.
Leading up to Friday’s game, the two teams have held joint practices together. Raiders coach, and former New England Patriots assistant coach, Josh McDaniels said joint practices are like real game environments, but with controlled endings.
“You’re blocking different people, you’re covering different people, you’re running routes on different people. We saw different coverages, we saw different schemes on both sides of the ball, we had to block punt rushes that we don’t use. There’s really no way for us to simulate this other than to try to use scout team cards and do those kinds of things, which it’s just never the same as letting somebody else run their stuff and you have to use your rules and follow your rules to do it.”
Earlier in the preseason, the Patriots and Caroline Panthers held joint practices together. At one point, a brawl broke out, spilling onto bleachers of fans nearby the action. That didn’t happen in Las Vegas.
“[I] compliment both teams on the way they handled that because we had nobody on the ground, nobody tackling anybody,” McDaniels said. “I thought we just competed hard, worked well together and hopefully both teams got better.”
