WR Davante Adams on Raiders' 0-3 start: 'I am frustrated and angry'
Long story short, things don't look very good for the Las Vegas Raiders right now. And Davante Adams isn't shielding his emotions about the issue.
The superstar wide receiver joined the silver and black this offseason and hopes were high that he would be a catalyst in 2022. While Adams himself has 17 receptions for 189 yards and three touchdowns to kick off the season, his team has an 0-3 record including a 29-23 overtime loss in Week 2 in which the Raiders gave up 22 unanswered points. So, after getting edged by the Tennessee Titans 24-22 in Week 3, Adams let his feelings be known.
"Frustrated and angry," Adams said, via SI.com. "I expect more. It's not easy to win in this league. We know that. Nobody's naive to the fact that nobody's just going to lay down and just give you a victory, but at the end of the day we expect more and we will do better as we move forward."
You really can't blame Adams for feeling that way, especially after he has scored a touchdown in each of his first three games for Vegas.
But there are several contributing factors that have led the Raiders to this point. Turnovers in Week 1 doomed them against Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers. Going flat in the fourth quarter got them upset for Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals. And in Week 3, they outscored Ryan Tannehill and the Titans 12-0 in the final frame and couldn't convert on a two-point conversion to at least tie the game.
What's a team to do when nothing seems to be working?
"Stay the course," Adams said. "Keep grinding and doing what we're doing. We just need to tweak a few things."
