As a 12-year veteran who’s played in 118-career games, defensive tackle John Jenkins is keen on the long haul approach. And that doesn’t include early-season panic.
“Man, it’s only Game 2,” Jenkins said after the Las Vegas Raiders 38-10 walloping at the hands of the Buffalo Bills last Sunday. “We’re going to continue working on building this bond, coming together and just growing with each other. We’ve got good people, good teammates and we’re just going to keep doing what we’re doing. It just hurts because we’re competitors.”
The Silver & Black maybe chalk full of competitors, as the 6-foot-3, 335-pound defensive tackle noted, however, for much of the team’s Week 2 loss, “competitive” wasn’t an adjective that best described the Raiders.
