And we do appreciate you, Raider Nation, for rocking with us. And as you can see, if you're watching on YouTube, a little bit of a different setup because both Q and Link are at the facility today. And it's a huge day because

the Raiders are having their joint practice against the 49ers. But you guys are in a media room.

Where exactly are you in the facility right now? It's the back room here. It's the media room.

And it's not the biggest room, but it's okay. We're going to make it work. We're in our nice little comfy little surroundings. So yeah, me and Link side by side. Here we go. You know how they do, black folks. Put them in the back. Put them in the back. From the entrance. So you don't have to see them coming in. They're in the back. Yeah, we're in the back. Well, here on this show, guys, you guys are royalty. By the way, I was telling the guys, and this is really thanks to you, Raider Nation, but the Raider Squad show is actually number two on the Lockdown Network, and that's all because of your viewership, the comments that you and the fact that you support this channel. So thank you so much. And guys, we're going to get into a lot on this show. We're just going to get into some news and notes from the Raiders, but we're also going to be talking about how Tyreek Hill actually might be linked to the Raiders, according to sporting news, where they put out an article. We're going to get into the depth chart as well for

the preseason week two game against the Niners. But that's where we got to start, guys,

with the Niners, because the joint practice is today. And, you know, Link, when you're a player

playing in a joint practice, what can you tell us about this? How intense is it? What can we expect?

And what's the vibe like around the players for this joint practice?

Well, first of all, the players are all amped up. I saw a lot of them this morning when I came over to the facility, getting ready for the day.

The thing is, Chantelle and Key, it's about competition, but it's also about keeping control of your emotions because if fights break out every other session, practice is going to be over. And then you're going to be mad because you're going to have to do another practice on your own or teams are going to go in their different directions. So you've got to be, you got to keep cool and calm and control out there. But more importantly, you want to also take care of business. Because you are practicing against another team, other players you see see other jerseys and other helmets on the other sideline, there's a competitive spirit that should come out of you to where you want to do your job the absolute best. So when you're going to see the teams come together mostly in team drills like 9-on-7-11-11. They'll also have a little skeleton drill, which is 7-on-7, a passing drill, your past offense versus our past defense. All in all, if you're Chip Kelly or you're the Raiders, you don't want to show too much, but you also want to go out there and set your guys up to succeed. Everything is scripted. So that's what you're preparing for for a day like this. Keep the fights down, keep the practice practice going and find a way to get through it you

know you can tell link as you were here yesterday as well watching practice that they were preparing for

today yeah they were not going hard in the paint yesterday they were making sure that their bodies

were ready they were conditioned they were indoors yesterday today today they'll be outdoors
