Kiffin is outwardly pleased with a voluntary offseason program that he said is at "over 90 percent attendance right now." Practice is five days a week, and each player is asked to show up for four of the five days. Randy Moss is not here, but most of the big names are. And that includes running back LaMont Jordan, who usually has opted to do his conditioning elsewhere.
the few that are not here (MOSS) is prob. at home smoking a blunt wondering what team will trade for him..
But over 90% thats deam near a full team, So I'm glad to see that a lot of the players actually want to be here and be a part of this new Raider football...
Heres some good quotes
"There's a lot of energy around here," said tackle Robert Gallery, who joined the team in 2004. "I feel good about what we've put in in two weeks, and everybody is real excited, so it's definitely the best situation we've been in here since I've been here."
"The vibe is very good this year," cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha said. "Last year we didn't quite know what to expect with the coaching staff. They were pretty quiet last year as far as taking charge of different things we were doing. But Lane has made himself visible to all the players and he is a very charismatic type of guy."
"Coach Kiffin is fired up," said fullback Justin Griffith, a free agent from Atlanta. "He's a man that's got us all jacked up. You got most of the guys here, and we want to win. You can kind of feel the hunger here."
