I know he has a ton of spectacular moments, but a superstar needs to lead this roster to double digit wins...

He called it just to set the defense based on the look the offense gave. Happens all the time, not sure why people aren't comprehending that. They were running with heavy sets before and after the TO. There was no need for the TO for the purpose of realignment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they let the clock run out if they got that same yardage? They were in FG range either way, timeout or no timeout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not arguing it wasn't needed, but it happens all the time on an important down where the coach takes a timeout after they see how the offense lines up. Ultimately, the Chargers should've known they were running and stopped it for a short gain. They simply did not execute. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about. If they ran for the same yardage with out without a TO they had just as much ability to run the clock out. The decision to kick of let the clock run was about yardage gained not the TO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So before the timeout the Raiders were unwilling to risk the block or botched hold.... But AFTER the timeout the Raiders WERE willing to risk the block or botched hold?

SkippyX Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 3 minutes ago, Jakuvious said: This. I'm sure, timeout or not, had they wound up on 4th down from like the 42, they would've let the clock run. And I'm sure, timeout or not, with a 1st and 10 from the 30, they would have kicked it. The timeout mattered less than the yardage gained on 3rd down. The yardage happened on 3rd down because Jacobs bounced the run outside of center on a play designed to gain yards instead of one designed to run clock. Staley forced them to play for the 1st down. They were previously playing for the clock to run. Carr stated this to be true in the postgame. Staley was a moron. You are free to join him.

Listen to his interview though. They were running a play regardless, yes. But what do you think he means when he said the strategy changed? Especially the way he said it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good coach shouldn't need to see alignment in order to know what raiders were doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
