AT ALL! Drops and defense lost us the game. We got us a gunslinger. A real tough SOB. That pass (I think to D. Waller) when he had a DL grabbing him by his jersey for the completion was so clutch. Man, just could not be more proud of my QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The scary thing is, Carr and Gruden haven't even tapped into the potential of Ruggs and Edwards. This is happening with Waller and Nelly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is happening with Waller and Nelly. Agreed. We have this offense humming, as in one of the very best in the NFL without a single consistent, top 40 WR in the NFL. That's super impressive, especially in the era we currently are in where passing the ball is so crucial. Gruden and Carr have engineered an offense as good as almost any in the NFL around the OL, running game, and a high end TE. If Ruggs and/or Edwards become what we believe they can be? This offense can jump to the next level, and when the offense is already a top 10 offense that's super encouraging. And I still have a lot of hope for both of those guys in the next year or two. It used to be a common understanding that wideouts are going to take 2-3 years before they are really ready to contribute at a high level, and lately wideouts have made a more immediate impact but there are still a ton of examples of high end wideouts taking a year or two before they take off. I have seen from both of them, but especially Ruggs the raw skill set to be a very impactful NFL WR. He just needs some refining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Very valid points about Ruggs and Edwards. It's important to remember this crop of rookies didn't have normal circumstances by any means entering the league. No rookie mini camp, no real training camp, no pre season games... it'll take time for them both to get acclimated properly. I think Gruden and probably Carr too don't have a lot of trust in those two just yet but that'll come in time. DC looks for Waller and Renfrow in clutch situations. Eventually Henry and Bryan will get those looks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will both come alive in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Have to appreciate the relationship between Gruden and Carr. Carr's level of play rising and him doing the little things that Gruden wanted him to do such as using his feet to gain yards or using his feet to leave the pocket to extend a play has given Gruden a level of confidence in Carr that must be very assuring for him. One of my favorite things this year has been hearing Carr audible and make the adjustments at the LOS. Him and Gruden are really in sync and this offense is doing all this without the help of its number 1 pick and a high ceiling WR in Edwards like someone above mentioned. Carr use to see those KC jerseys and would be mentally defeated from the start. And these two games against them this year its the complete opposite and he has that confidence in himself and the offense to know he can go point for point against them. Been great to see the growth in Carr and couldn't be happier to be proven wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
