Following the win, Eichenberg, who is currently not playing in the NFL, claimed that Crosby is easily provoked and that a former teammate on the offensive line might try to rile him up before the upcoming game on Sunday.\n\nDuring a press conference on Tuesday, Dolphins left tackle Patrick Paul talked about dealing with the star player of the Raiders, Maxx Crosby. Paul said that one of the keys to handling the player is to get him off his game. When asked about the role of trash talk in this process, Paul said, \"I feel like, yeah, he’s a hothead.\" He added that while Crosby is a great player, one must stay focused on him throughout the entire game.",
