Davante Adams Unleashes Frustration With Raiders in Press Conference

It appears that the talk and rumors in recent weeks regarding Devin Adams’ dissatisfaction with the Raiders offense are more than just that—talk.
Even Adams, who has only managed six catches for 74 yards over the last two weeks, expressed his frustration with the Raiders offense during practice on Wednesday, so you don’t need an anonymous source to tell you that.

Those two games were won by the Raiders, first against the Packers and then the Patriots.
With the Raiders coming back to .500 following a 1-3 start, this might seem like a time to rejoice.

With the Raiders only scoring 21 points last week and 17 the week before, Adams, however, is unable to quite match that performance.
The Las Vegas offense hasn’t scored more than 20 points once this season; in fact, they only scored 19 points in Week 6 thanks to a safety by defenseman Maxx Crosby.

Adams stated on the team website, “It’s a work in progress obviously and we’re going to continue to work through it.”. I have very high standards for myself and this offense, but I’m also a human.
Thus, in my opinion, it goes beyond—.

“People are probably asking themselves, ‘They won the game, the Packers game, so why is there a problem?’ You see, that’s why there is a problem.
At this point, you guys ought to be aware of who I am and what I stand for.

Raiders’ Davante Adams Is Totally Frustrated.

Adams, who is still one of the best receivers in the game, topped Pro Football Focus’ offseason ranking of wide receivers in the NFL.
Currently, he ranks ninth and twelve in the league with 39 catches for 471 yards this season.

He has 1,300 or more receiving yards in four different seasons overall, and he has been chosen for the last three All-Pro teams and six Pro Bowls.
While ranking ninth in receptions is undoubtedly an accomplishment, Adams holds himself to higher standards.

In his mind, “greatness is the benchmark for a player like me—not wins and losses.”.
I therefore anticipate being able to record that and have an impact on the game when I go out there. I come here for that reason, as I say every week.
I’m not here to hang out and do all of that; I’m not here to hang out with Derek Carr the way we did last year.
My goal in coming here was to win.
“.

Instead of coaches, Davante Adams knocks quarterbacks.

Adams made note of the need for improved communication with other offensive players on the team, but he didn’t seem willing to criticize coach Josh McDaniels directly for his play-calling.

“My goal is to achieve success and to do it ethically,” declared Davis.
Therefore, if it doesn’t appear as intended, I will be disappointed if I am not included in that plan.
I have the chance to go out there and take a chance on that and present a far better image.
“.

Indeed, Adams’ exceptional talent has influenced quarterbacks’ approaches to him. Adams gave in that it’s difficult to continually throw people into tight spots.
Still, it seemed like he placed the majority of the blame on the quarterbacks on the team.

At the end of the day, I know it’s not easy throwing to someone who receives the coverage I do, Adams remarked.
“I’m not naïve.”.
It’s also a much more complicated picture than the numbers we study during the week, requiring much more attention than Jimmy, Derek, Hoyer, or anyone else we have out there.

Making sure we carry out the task correctly each time is extremely important.
It will therefore be much more difficult if we are unable to make adjustments during games, such as if I am unable to communicate with the head coach or the quarterback, or even with either of us individually.
