Raske had a lot of new challenges to prepare for this training camp, far more than the past two years. With Berlin giving him the call that he would need to switch to safety for next season, he had a lot of work to do to prepare himself for the switch. Namely, he'd have to lose some weight and start working on his speed again. He was never a scrambler-type quarterback, he would occasionally run if the opposing team gave him plenty of room, but he relied primarily on his arm.
Of course, his primary concern was that he was on the opposite side of the ball, and had to learn entirely new schemes from a different point of view. This wasn't like changing an offensive coordinator, this was far more difficult. Thankfully, his knowledge of the QB position meant that he could read them far better than most safeties, all he needed was a quick glance and he could tell what their plan was, who would likely be open and what kind of routes they would be running. This experience would be key in training camp, where he would somewhat struggle with his mechanics. However, his knowledge made up the gap, with him making several interceptions and key tackles.
