SBXISBXVSBXVIII Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 This has been called a make or break year for Carr. Carr shut a lot of people up last night. Hopefully it continues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Good: Cable - He had the Oline ready to go with 2 backup G's. Trent and Kolton played lights out Rookies - A lot of them played and showed up. Was surprised how much run Crosby got Carr - looked dialed in. Mamba mentality. Has to carry that all season. Defense - Burfict had them ready and playing smart. Not many breakdowns Bad: Abram - dude can lay wood, but he's going to get a lot of penalties doing so. And injured a teammate in the process Ugly: The next 5 games on the schedule - Need to see this as a precursor to something and not a 1 off performance because they had extra motivation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking for you all night lol. Raiders looked awesome. Abram didn't hurt a teammate because of that Hit, he doesn't deserve to be in the bad. it was an unlucky freak scenario. The only Bad i saw, was the playcall screen on third down and the run on 3rd and 4. Other than that the Raiders played a damn good game.

I'm on the east coast, it was a late night and I was too lazy to get to the computer. I'm overreacting a little to Abram. He just has to be smarter with his hits. He's going to draw a lot of flags. Raiders played a clean game. Was great to see them prepared and dominating upfront. Still have reservations about the pass rush. Flacco is a statue back there and holds the ball. Next week will be a big test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he play confident, he's a different player. It's when he's rattled that he starts getting happy feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Burfict was every where last night. He played fast. He played intelligent. He was reading those run plays so well and was attacking those run fits. Was a huge reason why the Raiders were good against the run. He was looking to destroy everyone when he hit them lol. Hopefully his body holds up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can't last. With you there. But I don't think it will. At least 5 of those runs can be chalked up to trying to bleed the clock there at the end. I gotta wonder if playing the 2 backup guards was the reason Gruden took his foot off the gas and got so conservative. They played well, but no need to get cute in week 1 with a solid lead. If so, you can probably expect his carries to be more in the 15-17 range, I'd imagine. I was a little surprised Washington and Richard were used so little though.

Cadillac Williams had 290 carries as a rookie under Gruden. I expect Jacobs to get alot of carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been solid since he joined the team and won't be too expensive. Obviously, start the 2 you mentioned, but just a thought. Imagine Jacobs running behind that. That's one concern I have btw, he got 23 carries. That can't last. Pretty sure there was one point in the game where he motioned to J. Gruden that he wanted him to "feed" him the ball. He wanted his carries. The guy is hungry for greatness. Man is it nice having such a well rounded back that has the capacity to carry the rock and catch passes for first downs. His receiving skills were so clutch last night. Shout out to Renfrow for his big catch near the end zone as well. Carr threw a dart, Renfrow caught it. All around strong game on both sides of the ball. Only thing that would've made it better is some turnovers. Hopefully Conley is alright. I hate that he had to go down.
