​Most of Klint Kubiak’s comments to date have been on the robotic side, but the Las Vegas Raiders’ new coach finally opened up a bit as he described the character and makeup of his team, according to a report from Myles Simmons of Pro Football Talk. Turns out Kubiak has a flair for colorful language that we didn’t know about, as he used a euphemism for bad apples that was more than a little unexpected (think “swirling the bowl” and fill in from there on your own). “I think we just have a professional group of players. They care about getting better,” Kubiak said in his Monday press conference. “We don’t have any [expletives] — we’ve got guys that want to be here, that want to win, that want to change this place. So, I’m really happy with that.”His comments mark the shift from describing what’s going on behind the scenes to seeing the results on the field, and Kubiak clearly recognizes and knows that. “There’s things we talk about in team meetings, but words are really just — they’re just words,” Kubiak said. “So, I think the most important thing is, we watch our tape and we talk about what is acceptable and what is not. What effort looks like, what it doesn’t look like. And then we let the players go set that standard. So, it’s their game, not ours.”The one thing we know about Kubiak so far is that he keeps things close to the vest. He’s got a lot going on with two new quarterbacks, a defensive end who loves to yammer on about himself, and a roster that’s sketchy right now, with that last comment being kind. He hasn’t made many specific comments beyond that, and it doesn’t seem like he’s going to going forward. He likes to take care of business behind the scenes, so this is situation remains a work in progress until we see more on the field. What we’ve seen so far in the first few practices mostly aligns with expectations. The flowery quotes about rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza took a back seat to what happened on the field, which was Mendoza having a a typical day in which he underthrew a deep ball and couldn’t get the second-team offense lined up properly in a two-minute drill. That earned him an instant demotion as the third team was immediately brought in as a replacement group, so it sounds like the new coach means business when it comes to sloppy brand of football that became the Raiders’ brand last season.
