He's playing like a first rounder. mmhhmmm. Big surprise: When you have a coach that uses a player right they play better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought he's actually played good in coverage. Course there's room to grow in what is essentially his second year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will come with time in the scheme hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Hayward on the other hand is an eight your vet who played five years in this system 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He let the TE slip behind him on that 4th and 20. If he sails back, he's in good position. And he got away with a PI when Moehrig was out on that deep pass to Fuller that could have closed the game.

It’s why I won’t complain about refs last game despite the holding calls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's said, the fact that they put him in there at free safety in that situation actually shows how high the defensive staff thinks of his ability (what this defense of staff thinks actually carries weight considering their history) Edited October 1, 2021 by Jeremy408 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Props to Henry Ruggs 297 yards 1 TD through 4 games on 14 receptions. 6 20 plus yard catches. 2 40 plus yard catches. 2nd in the NFL in yards per reception. Very nice improvement for Ruggs through 4 games. Wish the receptions were at a higher volume but hes making a impact and just not out there being a smoke screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have a couple more TD's if Carr's deep ball was better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy408 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Yannick Ngakoue is already paying major dividends for the team. The pass rusher has 18 pressures on the year which is tied for ninth among edge defenders and his 80.5 pass-rush grade ranks tied for 13th - minimum 32 rushes. For comparison’s sake, Raiders’ edges collectively had 22 pressuresthrough four weeks last season and Arden Key led the way with a 71.8 grade, while no one else broke 60. Casey Hayward currently has the highest PFF coverage grade (86.4) among cornerbacks, has allowed a 38.5 percent completion percentage - ranks fifth - and just 39 receiving yards - ranks ninth.

BackinBlack Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 9 hours ago, NYRaider said: He'd have a couple more TD's if Carr's deep ball was better. 100% Carr throws his deep ball so high some time. Sometimes he needs to get there on a rope. The last deep shot against the chargers, first, Carr needed to set his feet once he rolled out. Had time once he escaped the pocket, but panicked. I will say though, it looked like Carr thought Ruggs was going to take a steeper angel to the endzone. Ruggs couldve easily had 3 TDs 200 yards that game alone. Hopefully him and Carrs chemistry only grows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
