Having to go up against two dominant defensive linemen like Maxx Crosby and Christian Wilkins is only going to make the Las Vegas raiders' offensive line better.
Raiders All-Pro edge rusher Maxx Crosby and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, in particular, are helping prepare the offensive line for dominant defensive linemen they will have to face this season.Wilkins joined the Silver and Black last offseason. His presence in practice has been crucial for the interior offensive lineman.
Raiders right guard Dylan Parham, however, has known what to expect when lining up against Wilkins is practice. "Just playing against him last year, just having a little bit of that, and then, just knowing what type of person he is, what type of player," Parham recently said at training camp. "And just knowing he's very high energy. So just, seeing the snap count, looking at the scouting report last year, he's on the field almost all the time. So, we knew that was going to be a big thing.
Facing Crosby and Wilkins is especially crucial for younger players like rookie offensive tackle Delmar "DJ" Glaze. "The biggest thing with those guys is, I mean, sometimes, after like a rack of plays, Maxx will come find me and say, 'You know what, this is what I saw," Glaze. "If you had stayed squared this much longer, I probably wouldn't have had nowhere to go.' And then, same with me. I go up to him, I say, 'Hey, what did you see here? What did you see there?' And I mean, I feel like that's the part that gets you better. Like, of course the reps get you better, too.
