Mike McDaniel calls Maxx Crosby ‘professional game wrecker’
Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel labeled Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby a professional game wrecker while preparing for their upcoming Week 2 showdown, even jokingly wishing the defender would take a nap rather than participate. Head coach Jim Harbaugh also addressed the impending clash with Las Vegas, where Crosby has accepted a reduced snap count despite remaining the center of trade speculation involving teams like the Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys.
The Chargers are aiming to rebound following a 26-14 opening-week defeat against the Arizona Cardinals, a game in which the offense failed to produce points on eight of ten possessions and wideout Ladd McConkey departed due to a rib injury. McDaniel admitted that the lack of offensive rhythm in the opener was surprisingly poor and intends to integrate an underutilized contributor to jumpstart the attack against a Las Vegas squad featuring running backs Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington Jr.
