Clancy Barone, our offensive line coach, needs to be fired. How can the offensive line not improve over a 3-month period? It’s beyond ridiculous at this point. A tackle sled would’ve performed better. Osweiler’s success in this offense has a mix of the I-Formation, and a mix of quick feet to get away from the line and scramble when necessary. In an earlier post I wrote about Manning, it’s very obvious why this offense struggles. It’s not who is at quarterback; rather, it’s who is protecting the quarterback.
10 Things I Liked:
- The defense was dominating all game
- 35:58 of ball possession – we kept QB Derek Carr from firing up his offense
- 20 first downs verses 8 first downs
- QB Brock Osweiler went 35-51 for 308 yards
- QB Derek Carr only had 135 yards passing on the day
- The Raiders had 1.2 yards per carry in the running game
- Brock Osweiler threw no interceptions
- Stopping the Raiders 2-point conversion kept us in the game
- We shut down the Raider’s explosive WR Amari Cooper
- Only 4 penalties
10 Things I Didn’t Like:
- RT Michael Schofield
- How did we not double team Khalil Mack?
- Brock Osweiler threw 51 times
- Dropped balls when it counted most
- 5 sacks and 8 hits on Brock Osweiler
- Offensively, we had 2.3 yards average per play
- Finishing the red zone
- Brock Osweiler missed several better second reads
- WR Demaryius Thomas was clearly injured and should’ve sat out after halftime
- TE Vernon Davis needs an on-field GPS
