SARASOTA, Fla. -- The Oakland Raiders will try to go 5-0 on the road for the first time since 1977 when they play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.The teams mettle could be tested with back-to-back games in Florida, however the Raiders remained in the state to practice at IMG Academy in nearby Bradenton instead of returning to the West Coast after a 33-16 win over the Jacksonville JaguarsCoach Jack Del Rio said the additional time in Florida has helped the team adjust to the conditions and stay focused on the task at hand.The biggest thing is not to have to fly back and forth, Del Rio said. As far as being here and acclimated I dont know that youre ever acclimated in the short time that were here. We understand what were up against. Weve traveled to Tennessee before and played in similar conditions in terms of heat.Quarterback Derek Carr credits the teams business-like attitude and camaraderie to their success on the road. Noting that when the team arrived in Sarasota many of the players were already starting to study film together in their hotel rooms.Doesnt matter where we at were family, Carr said. We could be here, in New York, doesnt matter. Our focus is on winning this football game. I could see it Monday and Tuesday night watching those guys and they are watching film in their rooms instead of being outside.The game will have special meaning to offensive lineman Donald Penn as he will play the Buccaneers for the first time since they released him in 2014. Penn spent eight seasons with Tampa Bay and made the Pro Bowl in 2010.Its going to be kind of weird, Penn said. Ive never walked into Raymond James Stadium from the visitor side. Its going to be something new.Penn said is he doesnt want to make too much of his homecoming but said that hell play with a chip on his shoulder against the team that let him go.Its very huge, you know me, Im a straightforward guy, Penn said. (Being released) is definitely on my mind and something Im never going to forget. Good thing is Im happy where I am now. Carr said Penn has been a great teammate and a major asset to the team. He doesnt expect Penns return to Tampa to be a distraction as the game approaches.Donalds the best, hes like a big brother to me, Carr said. He wants to protect me more than anything. He gets mad if his guys finger touches my jersey. For him to come back Im sure hes excited. Its human nature. Its exciting, but once the game starts hes not thinking about it. Hes just trying to play to the best of his ability.EDWARDS JOINS TEAM: DE Mario Edwards Jr. joined the Raiders in Sarasota on Thursday. Edwards has been on injured reserve since the start of the season with a hip injury.
