Raiders Today publisher Hondo S. Carpenter talks about the advantages that DE Maxx Crosby gives the Silver & Black ahead of the Week 10 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Jets.
Transcript
00:00 Number one, I think Max Crosby is the best defensive end in all of the National Football League who plays on a bad team.
00:07 All year he's been torturing people. Even J.J. Watt a couple weeks ago on the Pat McAfee Show was just talking about, you know, how good this guy is, but look at the team he's on.
00:16 He's coming hunting. I've been doing this for decades. He is the best defensive player I have ever seen.
00:23 Now, I want you to think about that because I'm an old man. I've been around a long time. I was friends with Reggie White.
00:29 He has talents that Reggie White did not have. He is absolutely relentless. He practiced like Kobe, Michael, and Irvin Johnson. Magic.
00:39 And for those of you that don't know that, that magic. He runs sprints every day. Now think about this. This is a sprint, a team of 70 guys, a lot of receivers, a lot of defensive backs.
00:51 He wins the sprints every day, every single day. He competes in basketball in the locker room, cornhole. He just is a total competitor.
01:01 110% effort on every play. He's coming. I don't think the Jets, I think you have a great tackle, but I think you have one.
01:12 And I think if you're the Raiders, OK, fine, they've got one. Let's just move Max. Let's just put Max.
01:19 Why? And I think he is going to torture Wilson. Now, one thing about Wilson, I like him, but he, you can tell he's been beat up and it's like a battered quarterback syndrome.
01:34 If you get close, he flinches. The Raiders are coming now. They're pinning their ears back.
01:40 And if you're going to beat the Raiders, I'll tell you what the narrative is. Your headline on Monday, if the Jets win, is going to be "Jets run over the Raiders."
01:52 Because if you think you're going to beat them with Zach Wilson's arm, you're not. And that's going to be the thing. The Raiders are going to stay.
