DeAndre Carter's Experience as a Charger Holds Value

The Las Vegas Raiders will need every bit of help they can get when they go up against a Los Angeles Chargers team on Sunday that they've had close battles with in recent years.

One benefit the Raiders have is the insight of wide receiver DeAndre Carter, who was a member of the Chargers last season.

"You always kind of know when you have players that played somewhere else for a specific coaching staff, you get a little bit of an inside look at maybe some of the things they do, or why they're doing them, or how they teach them, or what have you," said Raiders Coach Josh McDaniels when he addressed the media Wednesday. "So, every team -- we try to take as much information as we can from those kind of players. I'm sure they would do the same thing; every team, I think, does it.

"So, DeAndre is very bright. So, he understands what he remembers from his time there. Obviously, each year's different, each team goes through a lot of changes. 

"There's different things that they can do. And I've always kind of taken that with a grain of salt because, I mean, they know we have guys on our team that know some of their terminology and language, and if you're just going to -- we try to do the same thing. 

"You might use the same word but it might mean something different because you know that they -- you know that they know and all the rest of it. So, you got to be careful about how much stock you put in that. But he's given us a great just synopsis of what he recalls."

Carter has served mainly as the kick and punt returner for the Raiders so far this season.

This is his sixth season in the NFL.

The Silver and Black return to the road this week in Inglewood, Calif., to play the Los Angeles Chargers (1-2) on Sunday, Oct. 1, at 4:05 p.m. EDT/1:05 p.m. PDT.
