Week 4 Raiders @ Chargers Game Day Thread / Post Game Discussion

[Parcells]

Linsley, Slater, Anderson also making good blocks on the edge. We've been missing this for a long time.

I love the jet sweep, even if it’s just a play action. It works great as a running play but it can also really mess up the defense if they keep having to adjust for a man in motion.

Poor metrics mainly due to short arms. "They" thought he'd easily be controlled by longer armed linemen. Let me rephrase.."I thought"

Just based on paper yes I AGREE there's no way a 6-0 dude will control the line like a legit 3-4 NT should against NFL double teams. No way! He's UDFA and that's coming from me.

.....But hearing the hype from the freakin powder blues forum members, checking the tape, and hearing reports from our camp dude probably has something to offer. Remember not many teams are implementing the 3-4 anymore. I think we got lucky plain and simple. If he pans out as a solid rotational player for us then we sorta found a gem here. I mean the Raiders had less than 40 rushing yards.

Interesting point.

Chargers Running Yards Allowed Per Game

Washington - 126

Dallas - 198

K.C. - 186

Las Vegas - 48

Cleveland will be looking to use Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, a stout zero technique over center is just what the Doctor ordered.

He tends to get gassed but on limited snaps is more effective.

He's reacted well to NFL coaching too. Hands getting better.

Great. Keep rotating D-linemen in and out. Keep em fresh. He’s one more body to have in the rotation. Last year in the Super Bowl, Tampa Bay kept rotating fresh guys in and you saw what they were doing to Mahomes.

Yep...to refer to L.A. as a "home game", even if there's some truth to it, is not the kind of bulletin board material a coach likes to see...

Now if the team does the same to Cameron Heyward, and responds and ball out against the Steelers.

We tackled better. Much better. That was a major impact. DL also looked better. Good work by all.

Watch Trey Hill & Ben Cleveland try to double-team and scoop block and Forrest sheds them. Ben Cleveland was drafted Baltimore by the Try Hill the Bengals.

Also Zac Martin is beasting this year and the Chiefs got a lot of running yards in unusual situations.

Joey's comments on Carr are causing a bit of a commotion. Raiders fans are, of course, in complete denial.

Joey’s comments were kind of a dick thing to say about Carr. Sort of like the comments Carr made about playing in our stadium before the game.

[chargeroo]

I still can't get over the improvement in tackling! I only saw three missed tackles the entire game. They are going to be a handful for everyone if they keep tackling that well.

Isn't it great to be getting so much enjoyment out of the team after all the bad years!

This is fun!

No doubt Joeys Bosa probably makes the comments about Carr because Carr made the comments about the stadium and fans. Though, the Raider fans were representing. Which makes sense. I wouldn't be surprised if you took a pool of Rams, Raiders and chargers in LA - the Raiders support would be equal to the Rams + Chargers =if not higher.

Carr has until Game 17 to think about the comments, so what is that, three months

Doesn’t make either statement untrue. Truth doesn’t care if you’re blunt.
