A transcription of a media session with Raiders safety Charles Woodson, who picks his spots when it comes to the press but seemingly never fails to give a thoughtful, honest answer:
Q: What’s different this year?
Woodson: The optimism is always there, but this year is really a clean slate, all new coaches, basically, a new attitude, a new strength and conditioning staff, everything is new around here. We’re very optimistic about what we have going on. We’re out here working hard every day, trying to get better and feel good about our progress up to this point.
