Ask and you shall recieve. And there he is, Day 1!Diesis wrote Mon Apr 15, 2024 3:43 am:I hope Wilson is there to show that he is taking his craft seriously. If he can get his act together this year that will be a big plus.

Pierce called out Maxx day one. "Maxx, we're always talking about it. We wanna be great. Gotta show the fuck up everyday. Right, gotta show up everyday. There's a standard." There's expectations and then there's the Raider way."tadow » Tue Apr 16, 2024 3:19 am
Absolutely loved what AP had to say ffs he definitely has that motivation factor down pat! Robert Spillane is a mf dog. Love everything he had to say and how he said it he is a fuggin leader. This defense will be absolutely legit.Diesis » Tue Apr 16, 2024 3:37 am
Always good to see. Fingers crossed he can step up this year and be the player we want him to be as a 7th overall pick.16 to 88 wrote Mon Apr 15, 2024 10:08 pm:Ask and you shall recieve. And there he is, Day 1!

I think Wilson has been engaged and involved and working hard all offseason with the dline group. He seems like such a quiet soft-spoken guy though - seems like he needs more confidence. A guy like that would really benefit by getting "wins" in team drills and getting a sack in game 1 to inspire himself more from within.heavyD » Tue Apr 16, 2024 6:51 am
AOC is similar to Hunter Renfrow in that his appearance doesn’t scream pro athlete. Good to see he’s been working hard in the offseason to get stronger and better shape. Hopefully there’s another level to this guy.signal » Tue Apr 16, 2024 6:55 am
Oh, my bad, did not realize that Wilson has been working hard all offseason. I do think if there ever was a guy to make a huge leap from his first season to his second, it would be him. He made strides late in the season and do think a full offseason (injury free) will do wonders for him.chucker wrote Tue Apr 16, 2024 6:43 am:I think Wilson has been engaged and involved and working hard all offseason with the dline group.

O'Connell does look like he's in better shape and apparently has been working out at the facility a ton all offseason. I thought it was strange that he said he's now setting up a nutrition plan - I'd have thought that January would have been the time to do that.

Given the circumstances surrounding how he became the starter last season...I would actually be surprised if there is not another level to his play.heavyD wrote Tue Apr 16, 2024 6:51 am:AOC is similar to Hunter Renfrow in that his appearance doesn’t scream pro athlete.

It was from Maxx's dline podcast when Butler, Koonce, Jenkins and Wilson were all on that I got that Wilson has been in there with them. He's by far the quietest, most reserved, guy in that group. It's awesome that Maxx has taken on the role of taskmaster - if Wilson breaks out this year Maxx will be as fired up about it as anyone.signal wrote Tue Apr 16, 2024 6:55 am:Oh, my bad, did not realize that Wilson has been working hard all offseason.

I guess, Maxx's attitude of never getting too pleased with himself is reflected in his discussion in regards to others as well and I made false assumptions based upon that. I love how Crosby is demanding more and more of his teammates.
AP has really opened the door for Crosby to become that guy who leads this team and brings them together so that commitment to excellence is not merely a slogan but a mantra that is embraced daily. Might be drinking the Kool-Aid, but this team is beginning to remind me of those teams I loved back in the day.

We have a good DL group and it should help Tyree get more comfortable. Even excluding Crosby, you have a player like Koonce who didn't breakout until year 3, Wilkins is a former first rounder who admits his first year or two were really subpar and now look at him.BigJerk » Tue Apr 16, 2024 7:40 am
