Oakland Raiders' general manager Reggie McKenzie is disappointed in the 1-3 start, but said that both he and Mark Davis are remaining patience.

“He’s like all of us,” McKenzie told Associated Press. “‘He’ll be the first to tell you that he wants us to play better,” McKenzie said. “He also understands that we’re trying to retool and improve every day and every game. He totally understands that we’re in this thing not just for weeks 1 through 4. We want to continue and finish strong in week 5 on out. We’re going in the right direction. That’s the key with him.”

McKenzie has parted ways with nine players that Al Davis drafted since becoming GM.

“I wasn’t looking to get rid of the guys who were here,” McKenzie said. “It’s about production and some of it was cap related. Most of it is trying to get guys you think can better help the team.”
