(grant) the 49ers opened up training camp earlier this week... and this morning, the raiders held their first practice...at their summer home in napa. (vicki) right now, there are many storylines around this team, but perhaps the biggest is what's happening with khalil mack, who has not reported to camp. for more, we turn to mark carpenter, who's live in napa.

contract. gruden...was quick to dismiss those reports that he and mack haven't even spoken to each other since grudenw as hired back in january. "is that dramatic really? i mean consider what's drama. i've talked with khalil. those guys aren't always 100 percent accurate. i talked to mack when i got the job. i just haven't had a lot to talk with him lately. not much to talk about right now. sorry.""i'm fully confident with where khalil is at. where our team is at and obviously we want him back, but again. i don't. i try not to step into that. he was over at the house the other day and we didn't talk about it one time. we played pool basketball and i ducked on him. now that pool basketball is done with, derek carr and the rest of the raiders...forced to move on to football matters despite mack's absence. and gruden continues to be impressed with the way...d-c has not only built chemistry with new faces like jordy nelson and martavis bryat, but picked up the offense of his 4th head caoch in 5 years."i couldn't be more pleased. i've worked with a lot of the really great quarterbacks in the past and this man is as in to football as any guy i've met and he is talented man and smart." and as you can imagine, players are soaking up the

full gruden experience.... "he's very energetic. he's loud. he's talking noise. he's talking trash. he's a guy that he wants to win. you can see his passion.""he doesn't change. he's always fiery. he loves football. he wants to win. he loves his players. he loves his coaches and he demands from you." and practice would not be complete without another trademark worthy grudenism. "there's a lot of new technology, but it's not better technology. i mean, i got a new old remote better. some of this new technology, i was apart of monday night football. they kept bringing me new technology and the stuff we had was better. so you gotta sift through what is better and what is new. and you gott do what's best for your team. so we are trying to do that."
