In the mid-2023 season, the Silver and Black saw a major overhaul after abruptly firing HC Josh McDaniel and GM Dave Ziegler. Since then, Antonio Pierce has been trusted with the playmaker’s job, and he hasn’t disappointed. So much so that the front office decided to make him the permanent head man. He has since brought in this mentality that the players resonate with and a f,ew are even willing to run through a wall for their head coach. They have his back as well since Maxx Crosby asserted that he’d transfer to another team if Pierce hadn’t gotten the head coaching job.

Pierce certainly caught more than a few eyes, as he’s now leading the Raiders to the 2024 season with the back of a 5-4 record. But he has a game plan, and it consists of overcoming Patrick Mahomes. During his recent appearance on Maxx Crosby’s ‘The Rush‘ podcast, Pierce expressed that he not only wishes to get in Mahomes’ head but mess with him mentally, physically, emotionally, and even spiritually.

Pierce also recalled how Jordan had to fight through adversity while facing the Pistons, and that’s exactly what he and his Raiders aspire to achieve. He also openly expressed his hatred and said,

“We’ve got to knock off the head of the snake. Fifteen. Hate the color red,” Pierce said. “There’s a hatred for the Chiefs,” as per NBC Sports.

It’s worth noting that Pierce was able to beat the Chiefs on Christmas Day last year while going into the matchup as underdogs. Perhaps his strategy will actually thrive, and we will see the end of the Mahomes Era. So the question remains:

What Did the Pistons Do in Order to Limit Michael Jordan

Let’s travel back to the late ’80s — 1888, 1989, and 1990, to be exact — when the Detroit Pistons dominated the Eastern Conference Finals and overcame the Chicago Bulls in each of the postseasons they faced. Their strategy was simple — the Bad Boys would wear Jordan down both physically and emotionally with their aggressive defense, even double-teaming him when Jordan drove to the basket.

This was called the ‘Jordan Rules’, and former Pistons head coach Chuck Daly once recalled how they would force Jordan left and double him when he was at the point. And if His Airness was on the left wing, they would promptly double-team him from the top, but it would be slow in case Jordan was on the right wing.

This strategy worked until 1991 when the Bulls finally beat the Pistons for the Conference title and would go on to win the NBA Championship in that same year. Fans and pundits alike have argued for decades that if Jordan didn’t have to face the Pistons, he might have added a few more rings. Perhaps Antonio Pierce will also go on to execute a similar level of defense in the coming season — The Patrick Mahomes special. Only time will tell.

The Las Vegas Raiders Defensive End made an appearance on USA TV last night. When the host asked Maxx who he thought would win the Super Bowl this weekend, a few were shocked by his answer. Crosby revealed that he is rooting for his rival Mahomes to win the coveted prize this season. The DE backed his shocking answer by sharing that it would give him more joy to take his rivals off their pedestal next season and win the Super Bowl.

“You know at the end of the day people are asking me who I want to win, the Chiefs or the Niners; and for me you know selfishly I want the Chiefs to win. So that we could be the ones to take them down and take them off that pedestal. I take it personally. I have the ultimate respect for Mahomes and Chris Jones and all those guys. But they’re the ones standing in our way. So we’re looking forward to seeing them next season.”

NFL fans, upon hearing this, were left flabbergasted. They took to social media to vent their amusement. The common sentiment among fans was that it is ludicrous to root for your rivals to win a Super Bowl. A section of fans opined that defeating the Chiefs in a regular season match after a Super Bowl victory isn’t going to do any harm to their rivals. What Raiders should focus on is improving themselves rather than hoping for them to win rather than rooting for their rivals.

While the criticisms are valid against Crosby, the statement isn’t as ludicrous as it sounds when you consider his rivalry with Mahomes.

Here’s Why Maxx Crosby Rooting For Patrick Mahomes to Win The Super Bowl Makes Sense

The LA Raiders share a fierce rivalry with the KC Chiefs. One of the main catalysts for their beef is Maxx Crosby who is notorious for his trash-talking. He is adept at getting under the skin of his opposition and Patrick Mahomes has often been irked by his mind games. Despite getting annoyed by Crosby, Mahomes has always managed to maintain his performances.

To put things in perspective, the QB has a passer rating of 109.6 with 3,573 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions in 12 games against the Raiders. Crosby hence has always targeted Mahomes to put him off his game with many believing this rivalry to be personal for the talented DE.

The Raiders superstar is an admitted bad boy and for someone like him, defeating Mahomes with his performance man-to-man would be far more satisfying than watching Mahomes lose against someone else. Their rivalry is as personal as it gets for Crosby and hence defeating Mahomes with his efforts holds more value to Crosby.

Antonio Pierce, stepping in for the ousted Josh McDaniels midway through the 2023 NFL season, led the Raiders to a commendable 5-4 record. Despite missing the playoffs, Pierce’s impact was palpable, marking an impressive turnaround for a team in turmoil.

The Raiders ended their season well, winning three of their last four games and finishing 8-9, grabbing second place in the AFC West. Star DE Maxx Crosby witnessed Pierce’s influence firsthand, and his teammate, Davante Adams, even once asserted that he would run through a wall for the interim head coach.

Crosby, a pivotal figure for the Raiders and a beacon of consistency, has been vocal about his preference for Pierce, creating a potential rift if the franchise decides otherwise. Crosby’s endorsement is not just a mere suggestion; it’s a statement loaded with implications. Recent reports even suggest that Crosby would request a trade if the Raiders do not bring Pierce on board.

NFL insider Ian Rapoport termed it a “line in the sand,” hinting at Crosby’s future with the Raiders being uncertain should Pierce not secure the head coach position. This situation is really making the Raiders’ front office feel the heat, especially since Pierce is also talking to the Tennessee Titans about a job.

The Twitter World Disagrees With Maxx Crosby

The discussion around Antonio Pierce possibly becoming the Raiders’ head coach has set Twitter abuzz with a variety of opinions. This debate mirrors the broader challenge in sports of balancing experience with a fitting team ethos. On one hand, there’s a camp advocating for a coach with a rich winning history, questioning why the team wouldn’t opt for a proven success like Jim Harbaugh. While others advocate for a more seasoned coach.

Take it from this fan, who wrote under Crosby’s post, “Are you saying you wouldn’t want a proven winner like Jim Harbaugh?”

As the Raiders ponder their next move, Maxx Crosby’s backing of Coach Pierce highlights a crucial choice: embrace the team’s heritage and current momentum or venture into new waters. Considering how they haven’t clinched a single Super Bowl since 1984, Mark Davis is poised to hire a new coach. Only time will tell.

Maxx Crosby recently shared his earnest motivation to drive the team’s success while speaking on NFL Media’s The Insiders. He sees it as a chance for Coach Antonio Pierce and GM Champ Kelly to secure long-term positions, bringing much-needed stability. Having experienced numerous coaching changes, Crosby values the straightforward and honest approach of Pierce and Kelly.

“Selfishly, I want them to continue to be the head coach and GM. I’ve been very honest with them. I told Mark [Davis] the same thing,” Crosby said.

Two years ago, the star DE and other Raiders players fervently supported interim coach Rich Bisaccia, hoping for his retention after a remarkable playoff run in 2021. Despite their wishes, owner Mark Davis chose Josh McDaniels. This time, the fans align with their star defensive end, recognizing the crucial role Antonio Pierce and Champ Kelly play in sustaining the team’s motivation.

Their relationship first started as good friends but things spiced up after they went together to a Mexican restaurant, Masa. Two months later the college sweethearts started dating and have since been inseparable. Crosby took his then-girlfriend on a trip to Utah where he planned to propose to Washburn on Feb. 2022.

He went down on his knee to present a custom ring made by And AL The Jeweler. Washburn described the proposal to be picture perfect as snowy mountains surrounded them and she couldn’t resist saying yes. A few months after their engagement, the couple welcomed their daughter Ella into their lives who is around a year old now. The family grew, and the two decided to make their relationship formal this year.

While Maxx Crosby is appearing as one of the league’s best players, he credits his success to his wife who stayed with him during the tough days and helped him overcome alcohol addiction. Washburn who was a four-year starter for the Eastern Michigan University’s soccer team majored in sports management and is currently helping his husband’s merchandise brand, “Mad Maxx Merch”.

Max CrosbyCredits Family for On-field Success

This heartwarming gesture brought immense joy to his fans, and his alma mater, Eastern Michigan University, recognized his incredible act. Crosby unfolded his college football journey at the University from 2015 to 2018 and surprisingly, EMU was the sole college football program to extend him an offer.

EMU Honors Maxx Crosby’s Donation With Special Gesture

Maxx Crosby made the official announcement of his substantial donation during his visit to campus, coinciding with the Raiders’ Monday Night Football game against the Lions. Eastern Michigan University unveiled plans to rename its football field within Rynearson Stadium as a tribute to the edge rusher. It’s believed to be the first FBS field to be named after an active player.

The funds will play a pivotal role in supporting the launch of phase two of the championship-building plan, fostering the comprehensive advancement of the university’s athletic programs. Crosby expressed his deep connection with EMU, acknowledging the pivotal role it has played in his life as both an athlete and a person. In a video posted by EMU Athletics, Crosby can be seen fielding questions about the donation and the gesture and he said,

“Without the opportunity to attend EMU, I would not have met my wife, Rachel, who has given me the most beautiful gift imaginable in our daughter, Ella…Without EMU, I wouldn’t have the lifelong friends that now serve as advisors and business partners. Without EMU, I may not have ever had the opportunity to achieve my dream of playing in the National Football League.” 

Crosby emphasized the impact of his EMU journey, where he met his wife and formed lasting friendships now integral to his professional life. His $1 million donation reflects deep gratitude for the university’s ongoing support from everyone including teachers, coaches, fellow athletes, and students.

Maxx Crosby’s Record-Breaking Career at Eastern Michigan University

During his tenure at EMU, Maxx Crosby left an indelible mark on the football program. His impressive tally of 20.0 career sacks firmly established him as one of EMU’s elite defensive players. Moreover, his 41.0 career tackles-for-loss ranks as the third-highest in the university’s storied football history. In 2017, Crosby achieved a remarkable feat by equaling the EMU single-season record for sacks.

Maxx Crosby is lovingly dubbed ‘Condor’ for his astounding 81-inch wingspan. His rookie season was nothing short of sensational, with 10 sacks and 47 combined tackles to his name. This exceptional performance thrust him into the spotlight, making him a strong contender for the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Like Crosby, many other athletes, such as Tennis player Naomi Osaka, have also taken inspiration from Kobe’s work ethic. According to these athletes, inculcating the Mamba Mentality helps people maximize their potential. And these athletes have excelled in their field, thanks to Kobe being an inspiration for athletes beyond basketball.

Maxx Crosby takes inspiration from Kobe Bryant’s ‘Mamba Mentality’ for his work-ethic

The Raiders’ star Maxx Crosby strictly works on his ‘No off day’ routine. Like Kobe, taking offs for Crosby, especially during the off-season, is next to never. The emerging NFL star wakes up at 5 AM every off-season weekdays and weekends and reaches the Raiders’ training facility by 6 AM.

Much like Kobe and LeBron, Crosby meticulously plans his meals, workouts, and focus for the day. As he enters his 5th season in the NFL, Crosby is very well on his way to establishing himself as one of the best defenders in the league. Speaking to GQ Sport, Crosby revealed how his work ethic is inspired by Kobe’s ‘Mamba Mentality.’

“From a training aspect, I sat down with my nutrition guys, my strength staff, everyone I work with, to get ready for another off-season. We came up with a great plan. I got this from Kobe [Bryant]: I make agreements with myself. I’ll be in the building by this time, I will do all these different things: I will hit this speed on the field, work up to this, etc. These are the things I’m pushing for and working toward. I still have a few [offseason] weeks left, but I’ll just say this, it’s been an incredible off-season.”

For Crosby, this kind of routine and workout regimen has become part of his lifestyle. He wants to become the best version of himself in the league and for that, he strives to practice almost every hour of the day. However, it becomes unfathomable for Crosby when coaches ask him to take a week off or rest. But he still listens to them, given coaches know the game best.

“My coach was like, ‘Take the week, do your normal routine, eat what you are supposed to, do Normatec two hours a day, stretch before bed, etc.’ But I wasn’t training. I really had to psych myself out, because I know just one speed. I am so obsessed with becoming the best version of myself and the best in the league, that I will do whatever it takes. And that also requires me to listen. So when coaches tell me to take the week off, it’s time to go home. Go relax.” 

Indeed, keeping this same mentality and work ethic will take Crosby to new places in the league. Crosby’s NFL career stats include impressive 231 tackles, 37.5 sacks, and 16 pass deflections.

Kobe Bryant is an inspiration to several top players including PSG star Neymar

Players beyond the realm of basketball consider Kobe Bryant as their inspiration. After Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant is perhaps the most celebrated and popular basketball figure in the United States. Brazillian superstar and PSG player Neymar Jr. once revealed how he drew his inspiration from the Mamba.

Growing up in Brazil, Neymar and his friends had only heard of Jordan but could never witness his greatness on the court. Kobe was a player who dominated the court post-Jordan in the early 2000s. Neymar grew up watching Kobe and was inspired to become like him in soccer. This stands as a powerful testament to how Kobe Bryant’s influence transcended sports, resonating with individuals from diverse backgrounds and inspiring them to pursue excellence in their own endeavors.

The post “Got This From Kobe Bryant”: 2x Pro Bowl Star Maxx Crosby Credits ‘Mamba Mentality’ For His ‘No off Day’ Workout Regime appeared first on The SportsRush.

MJ and Kobe were the poster boys of work ethic in the NBA. Both men were constantly looking to improve their game and as such, worked harder in training than anybody else. The fruits of their endeavors were seen in their multiple championship wins. And, Crosby who strives for greatness has taken a page out of their books, waking up as early as 5 AM to work out.

Inspired by his daughter, Maxx Crosby’s work ethic is derived from Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant

This off-season, like every other off-season, Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby has been working hard on his craft. With a strong desire to be the best, he wakes up at 5 AM every morning to work out. However, that’s not all he does. Arriving at the Raiders facility by 6 AM, Crosby often gets his coaches all to himself. This, coupled with meticulous planning will help him reach new heights.

But, how has Crosby become so dedicated? Well, as he explained in an interview, his strong work ethic is derived from other sporting greats. In particular, Muhammad Ali, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan. Both His Airnes and The Black Mamba were notorious for their work ethic. Kobe even woke up early to get his shots up and was known to have at least three workout sessions in a day.

Seeing how these legends gave it their all, Crosby has modeled his routine after theirs. That being said, his true inspiration is his daughter, whom he claims he would be doing a “disservice” to if he didn’t work hard every day.

“I studied the Kobes, the Jordans, the Alis, and applying that to how I lead. I’m not just talking about it, I’m showing it. I take too much time to come out here and not be the best version of myself. It’s not guaranteed that I’m going to be the best. But I would be doing myself and my daughter a disservice if I tell her, “Work your hardest” if I’m then not doing it.”

It’s great to see that both Jordan and Bryant have such an effect on people. Even though it has been years since they played in the NBA, they still hold so much influence in the sporting community. After all, Maxx Crosby isn’t the only one who has looked up to these two legends.

Like Kobe and MJ, Maxx Crosby wants to bring a championship to the Las Vegas Raiders

Their work ethic aside, Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan were born winners. They both delivered championships to their respective teams. With Kobe winning five and MJ winning six, they are two of the most successful players in the NBA. Inspired by this, Maxx Crosby also wants to bring a championship to the Las Vegas Raiders.

This has become an even greater desire after the recent success of some of Sin City’s other sports teams. Particularly, the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces and the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights.

Jackson has everything one needs in a quarterback. His precision is top notch and when it comes to having astounding athletic abilities, he is second to none. This is exactly why fans were left truly puzzled when the Ravens were showing reluctance in giving him a massive extension deal. In the end, it all panned well for Jackson who is now set to draw a $52 Million annual salary. Moreover, after listening to what Von Miller and Maxx Crosby had to say about Jackson, even his haters would be compelled to tone down the criticism.

Von Miller showers praise on Ravens QB Lamar Jackson

In a recent episode of ‘The Von Cast,’ Von Miller and Maxx Crosby talked in detail about the quarterbacks who are just too tough to tackle even for the best of defenses and as expected, their chat started off with Lamar Jackson. “Lamar is crazy,” said Von after asking Maxx about the QB who makes life a living hell for the oppositions.

“I played against Lamar last year and I one sack in a game. In my second sack, I had him on his shoulder and he like kinda jumped out and I was like bro this is crazy,” Miller stated. The conversation then shifted to Russell Wilson with Miller saying, “when he was with the Seahawks, nobody wanted to play against Russell Wilson.”

As a Ravens fan..i am thrilled to hear this https://t.co/2aucvOTaDI

— broady (@broadyboy101) June 18, 2023

Miller added that Wilson would just keep running around again and again, ultimately finding an open guy. Maxx then interjected by saying that Kyler Murray is also very tough to tackle. He went on to add that one time, he had grabbed both of Murray’s shoulder pads, but he still ended up breaking the sack.

Maxx also showered praise on Josh Allen, calling him an absolute monster who literally dragged him for three yards when he played against him in college. However, from the entire conversation, what ended up pleasing the Ravens fans the most, is the fact that both the superstar LBs mentioned Jackson before talking about any other QB.

Lamar Jackson returns to Ravens OTAs after snubbing them last season

Clearly, things weren’t going smoothly between Jackson and Ravens’ management last year, when they decided not to offer him an extension. Post that, as reported by Baltimoreravens.com, Jackson had decided to miss the team OTAs for the 2022 season, stating that he “just wanted to stay away and just grind.”

Thankfully, Jackson made it clear this year that he isn’t going to miss out on team activities as he wants to develop a good bond with the new players in the unit. “New offense,” was Lamar’s response as per FOX, while listing the reason behind attending the activities this time.

Clearly, Jackson wants to send out a message that he is willing to do everything he can to help his unit go the distance this time around. Will he succeeded in guiding the Ravens to a Super Bowl win?
