Devin White's Maxx Crosby comments won't surprise Raiders fans in the least

The Las Vegas Raiders defense turned in its best performance of the season on Sunday, as it led the team to a 20-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans. There were several impact players on a day when the team finished with six sacks and three takeaways.

The two players who were seemingly at the center of everything in the victory were Maxx Crosby and Devin White. Crosby recorded three solo tackles, two tackles for loss, two sacks and three quarterback hits. Meanwhile, White turned in his best performance in a Raiders uniform as he finished with nine total tackles, five solo tackles, one tackle for loss, one strip sack, one quarterback hit, one interception and one pass defended.

His strip sack was recovered by Tyree Wilson, setting Las Vegas up at the Titans' two-yard line, while his interception kept Tennessee off the board to end the first half. Following the game, the former All-Pro linebacker discussed his relationship with Crosby, sharing high praise for his star teammate.

Devin White praises Maxx Crosby following Raiders' first home win

It is hard to find any player who has been in the Raiders' locker room over the past seven seasons who hasn't spoken highly of Crosby. While the two have been teammates for a short time, White had

high praise for the two-time All-Pro pass rusher.

"He's a dawg. I'm a dawg. He's an alpha male. I'm an alpha male. Man, he competes every day by getting in the building early, who can work the hardest in the weight room, and I'm right there with him because I know it'll pay off for me as well. And I'm just blessed to play with such a great competitor as him," White said. "Everybody knows how talented he is, but people don't know how much work he puts in, and (Patrick Graham) said it the other day, everybody, every day got to make a choice. And, bro, he makes that choice every day to be up there early and sacrifice everything to go be the greatest on the field, and I'm right there with him. So, eventually, it'll pay off for everybody -- the people who put in the work. Some people don't believe that, and some people do. I'm one of the ones that do. I feel like if you do everything right and stay consistent to the grind, it'll show."

The work White has put in off the field showed in a big way on Sunday, as he was all over the field making plays. The seventh-year linebacker, who many hoped the Raiders would draft all the way back in 2019, had, arguably, the biggest impact of any player on the field.

While White is on a one-year prove-it deal, he could earn a long-term spot on the roster if he is able to continue to play at this level. The former Super Bowl champion, who has played every snap this season, is still just 27 years old.

Chicago Cubs’ rollercoaster season erupts in chaos: fans demand answers!

The Chicago Cubs’ season has unfolded like a gripping drama, marked by exhilarating highs and gut-wrenching lows. As fans settle into the summer months, the call for clarity and direction has never been louder.

The Promising Start

Early in the season, the Cubs showcased flashes of brilliance that had fans dreaming of October baseball. With a potent blend of young talent and seasoned veterans, the team surged out of the gate. Key players seemed to find their rhythm, and the pitching staff displayed a level of consistency that was reminiscent of the Cubs’ glory days. Each victory was a testament to their potential, igniting hope in the hearts of loyal fans.

The Mid-Season Struggles

However, as the season progressed, the clouds began to gather. The Cubs faced a series of injuries that decimated their roster, leaving gaping holes in both the lineup and the pitching rotation. Stars who had once shined brightly found themselves mired in slumps, and the once-potent offense sputtered against even the most mediocre of pitching staffs.

This stretch of poor performance led to frustrating losses that felt all too familiar for a franchise that has struggled to find its footing in recent years. The inconsistent play raised eyebrows, and fans began to question what had gone awry. The excitement of the early season was quickly overshadowed by a sense of despair.

The Chaos of Trade Rumors

As the trade deadline approached, the atmosphere around Wrigley Field became charged with uncertainty. Rumors swirled about potential trades involving key players, with fans left to speculate about the future of their beloved team. Would the Cubs be buyers, looking to bolster their roster for a playoff push? Or would they become sellers, parting ways with franchise cornerstones in a bid to rebuild?

The front office faced mounting pressure to make decisions that could define the course of the franchise for years to come. As whispers of trades circulated, fans were left holding their breath, caught in a whirlwind of hope and anxiety.

The Fan Outcry

In the wake of the tumultuous season, a palpable frustration has settled over the fanbase. Social media has become a platform for passionate pleas and heated debates about the direction of the team. Many are demanding answers from management, seeking transparency about the strategy moving forward.

The Cubs’ storied history and loyal supporters deserve clarity. Fans want to know whether the team is committed to competing in the short term or if a more significant rebuild is on the horizon. As the season nears its conclusion, the Cubs must confront the chaos and provide a roadmap that reassures their devoted following.

In the world of baseball, the journey is often unpredictable. The Cubs have experienced the full spectrum of emotions this season, and as they navigate the challenges ahead, the hope remains that brighter days are on the horizon. The fans are ready to rally behind a team that once brought them a championship, but they need to know that their voices are heard and that the future holds promise.
