Antonio Pierce Sends WARNINGS to Raiders Players After LOSS to Panthers | Inside Coverage

Jason Fitz and Frank Schwab break down Antonio Pierce’s blunt postgame comments after the Raiders’ 36-22 loss to the Panthers. In his press conference, Pierce suggested that some players were ‘making business decisions’ during the game, hinting at potential changes ahead. Was Davante Adams the target of his frustration, or was it the team’s poor defensive performance? With over 400 yards given up, including 300 passing yards from Andy Dalton, can Pierce back up his tough words and turn things around against the Browns next week? Our experts discuss Pierce’s comments, the Raiders’ struggles, and what needs to happen next. Watch the full breakdown and tell us: Can Antonio Pierce make the changes needed to save Las Vegas’ season?

@@patmurphy1120of course the other guy is right, but it’s all Mark Davis fault as to why Adam’s is unhappy with Las Vegas. Let’s be real here, I don’t care what Adam’s says in front of the media, there’s no way he’s happy when he chooses to leave GB solely just to play with Derek Carr, that’s the only he came here, then his homeboy gets traded. I promise after Davis made the poor decision to side with McDaniels to trade Carr, Adam’s has been displeased with the Raiders. Another problem here is just think Raiders rather than trading Adams, they convinced themselves that he is too talented of a receiver. We can ultimately convince him to love it here, despite us trading away his homeboy. That was a mistake on the Raiders part. Adams has wanted out of Vegas since McDaniels was hired, then he traded away his boy Carr.
