I understand he's young and it might take some time but this isn't a rookie so I personally expect better production from someone making that money w/ the experience he has.

Darbsk Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The Good The players and coaches took the lead and changed the narrative from Gruden back to Raiders football and competing for the playoffs. Coach Bisaccia and the other coaches had the players prepared, focused and playing with energy. The small changes they made to scheme and playcalls particularly on offence were successful. Derek Carr, made the big plays and didn't leave a lot out on the field. The Drake and Edwards throws were sublime. OLine, we've been heaping scorn on them but they did well in this one. Kept Carr upright and opened holes up for the running game, aided by some good playcalls. DLine, brought the heat consistently and they all made plays. Crosby got a few sacks, Thomas got the fumble, Nassib made a couple nice run stops, Square got a sack, Jefferson got a sack. They all contributed. Night and day from last year. Defensive backs, they look attuned to the scheme, know where they need to be and are making plays. Moehrig is quietly making a big difference and deserved his pick. Henry Ruggs, really coming out of his shell and looks better each week. Could we be witnessing a first round pick actually work out?? The Bad We still went prevent D a bit early for my liking, allowed two 75 yard drives for scores when the D was handling everything well. If it's working, keep doing it IMO. Robertson had a bad game. Not much else to say really but great coaching to get Facyson in before it cost us big. Hope he bounces back. It's nitpicking but the score didn't really reflect the game. Would have loved to have hung 40 on Denver but it's still quite s comprehensive win. The Ugly Nothing really, perfect antidote to a tough week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's all James has to do is stack up good play after good play and compete. I thought the line played better against Denver and in particular they kept Carr off the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's w/ Miller on the other side as well so yeah, I'm happy about it and you're right, if they string together good game after good game, the beginning of this season will be an afterthought. We have to keep things in perspective and understand that this unit has only played together for 6 months lol. This takes time and if they start gelling and performing well, it's looking good for us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably due to him being undersized which allows him to move well. Problem though is that he's not very strong so he's not very good at the first level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
