There are a few reasons for Oakland's improvement that were apparent in the game video, but none more important than the re-emergence of the run game.
Here are my thoughts on the Raiders' offense in week 6:
-The Raiders run game was suddenly resurgent, with Darren McFadden gaining 80 yards on just 14 carries, for an average of 5.9 yards per carry. Coming into the game, McFadden was only averaging slightly over 3 yards per carry, so this was a substantial difference for this game.
Not only were the Raiders able to pick up much-needed yards on the ground but, more importantly, the play calling was able to open up dramatically because the San Diego defense had to respond to the threat of the running game more than other opponents have versus the Raiders.
Furthermore, the Raiders were able to put themselves in many more short yardage situations than in previous games, which allowed them to get creative with playcalling and affording more opportunities for Carr to throw the ball vertically when the defense wasn't expecting it.
The Raiders run game looked much better for a number of reasons but, perhaps, none more important than the offensive line, who had a very good game up front against a San Diego defense that had, in the first 5 weeks, been one of the most stout in the NFL.
Whether it was McFadden in the backfield or Maurice Jones-Drew (who added 30 yards on just 4 carries, himself, for an average of 7.5 yards per carry), the Oakland offensive line opened up some good sized holes for the backs to be able to get to the second level before being hit.
McFadden and Jones-Drew also ran much better than in previous weeks and McFadden showed good patience and vision, for once. Instead of simply picking an area and running straight towards it, hoping the hole will open up, McFadden looked much more like he was paying attention to the offensive line's blocking and was using anticipation to predict where the best place for him to run would be.
Take the clip below, for example. In this clip, the offensive line blocks left and McFadden takes the handoff left, too, to start. The offensive line does a good job of getting the San Diego line to move with them, however, and McFadden sees that right tackle Menelik Watson has dominated the defensive end.
McFadden plants his left foot and makes a nice cut to the right to go outside Watson and picks up a quick and easy 5 yards as he isn't touched until he makes it to the second level:
McFadden looked much more explosive this week and also seemed to be cutting better. This may be, in part, due to increased confidence in the offensive line but whatever the reason, the Raiders need him to keep doing it.
-The offensive line also had a good day in pass protection, overall. The Chargers were, at times, able to get some pressure on Carr but came away without a sack. Carr has only been sacked a few times this year, in fact, a testament to the pass protection of Oakland's revamped offensive line.
As an example, here is a screen capture of the pocket that Carr had when he threw his first TD of the day – a long pass on a slow-developing route by Andre Holmes that took Holmes up the seam and then over the middle of the field. Carr wouldn't have had time to wait for Holmes to be open if he hadn't had good protection from the line:
I was concerned about Menelik Watson in at right tackle because he had struggled mightily, there, in preseason but it turned out that I had nothing to fear. Watson held up very well in pass protection throughout the game and even excelled in an area in which he previously had struggled which was handling stunts.
During the preseason, Watson struggled to recognize and react to stunts – when two defenders change places during their pass rush – and would sometimes continue to block a defensive end when he should instead pass the end off to the right guard and step out to take on the defensive tackle who is coming around.
In this game, though, Watson handled the stunts like a pro. In one memorable exchange, he looked almost perfect with this process of passing the end to his left and going into his kickstep to keep his body between Carr and the defender.
Watson is still raw, technically, but he is quite an athlete. His change of direction is explosive and allows him to recover against a more experienced opponent.
It appears that Watson will likely continue to start at right tackle this week, with Khalif Barnes still limited in practice due to a quad injury. We will see if Watson's improvement continues this week or if he regresses back closer to where he was at the end of the preseason.
-Carr was a big focus of the video review because he is, perhaps, the most important person on the Raiders' roster at this point. Carr continues to look like a star in the making and week 6 was, by far, his best game.
Carr was able to get through his progressions quickly and found open targets most of the time. He had the occasional mis-fire with his throws but overall he was confident and on-target.
Carr's second TD throw, for example, was a good read on James Jones, who was running an option route. For the play, Jones was one of 3 receivers on the right side of the formation. When the ball was snapped, the other two receivers split left and right and Jones hesitated for a moment, reading the defense.
The Chargers had a linebacker covering Jones and the linebacker was shading to the outside, trying to take out the corner route option for Jones. Jones saw this and optioned his route to a slant route, taking what he was being given by the defense – an inside path. There were defenders to the inside but none right at or before the goal line.
Carr made the correct read on the defense, too, and placed the ball where Jones could get it on the slant route. Carr also threw it low, where Jones could make a play on it but where it would be unlikely to be popped up or intercepted if anything went wrong.
Carr's third TD pass was a combination of a good read by Carr, good ball placement to lead his man – second year receiver Brice Butler, and a well designed play.
Here is a picture of the routes. As you can see, the Chargers are mostly up on the line but are playing a cover 2 defense, with both safeties over the top to prevent a big gain deep. The Raiders are in a shotgun spread formation with three receivers to the left, one to the right and McFadden next to Carr in the shotgun
At the snap, three of the routes go vertically, which takes their respective cornerbacks away from the line of scrimmage and keeps the two safeties deep to cover over top. At the same time, McFadden runs out of the backfield and into the flat, drawing a linebacker with him.
Butler, who is operating out of the flex position, right off the left side of the line, runs what initially appears to be a dig route to cut across the field and the cornerback plays the route like this is what Butler is doing.
When Butler suddenly stops and reverses direction to go back outside, then, the cornerback is completely shaken from the play. Carr puts the ball in a great position to lead him (noted by the x in the diagram above) and Butler then races down the field, beating the remainder of the defenders for a long TD.
Here is a screen capture of the separation that Butler had right as the ball arrived to him. Carr gets it to him perfectly so that he can turn and run up field and Butler is fast enough that he was able to out-race the defenders.
Here is video of the play from the All-22 video I use:
-Overall, there was a lot to like about the offensive game plan and execution against the Chargers. The Raiders simplified the playbook and that seemed to help the players know what their assignment was on each play and they could focus on executing that assignment well.
Once the Raiders began to have success both running and passing the ball, the Chargers were forced to defend both and that allowed the Raiders to run different kinds of plays out of the same formation to great effect.
The Raiders will look to continue this success against the Cardinals, tomorrow. Carr's development is the main focus for this team for the rest of this season and he needs to continue to show improvement so the team knows what they have in him going into 2015.]]>
That optimism with new interim head coach Tony Sparano is enough to excite Raiders fans, who get a major deal this week on the secondary market. Raiders vs Arizona Cardinals tickets have an average price of just $74.82 on the secondary market. That's 39% below the season average for Raiders tickets at O.co Coliseum this year. The get-in price for the game is only $15.
The Cards are far from a cakewalk, as they come in with a strong 4-1 record and got quarterback Carson Palmer back last week (shoulder). He'll return to face a Raiders team that traded him to Arizona a year ago, which could add a little bit of spice to this matchup. In fact, the quarterback duel may be what this one comes down to, as Arizona's pass defense has been absolutely atrocious. That could leave room for Carr to continue his progress and potentially shred a vulnerable Cardinals defense en route to Oakland's first win of the year.
Of course, that's easier said than done. While the Raiders are fairly stingy against the pass on the other side, their run defense leaves a lot to be desired. If they can't contain elusive running back Andre Ellington, they could be in some serious trouble.
The Cardinals also boast a suffocating run defense, which could present real problems if Darren McFadden and Oakland's rushing attack can't get off the ground. If that happens, unwanted pressure could be placed on Oakland's rookie quarterback and their plus matchup could be a non factor.
To keep that from happening, Oakland will have to get creative and find ways to maximize any running lanes that pop open. If they can do that, that should give Carr enough time to take the same type of deep shots he took a week ago. That's Oakland's perfect gameplan to win, and if they can execute it for the second week in a row, they could get the upset.]]>
While Oakland will be pumped up to topple the Bolts this week, Raiders fans may not truly appreciate the value unless the Silver and Black actually get the win. It'd be their first of the year, too, and could give a faint sign that the Raiders could still turn things around.
To do so, their top-five pass defense will have to show up in a big way. Philip Rivers has been borderline flawless in just about every game this year, so it will take a great game plan and execution to rattle him early and force him into mistakes. On top of worrying about Rivers going off, though, Oakland also has to figure out a way to contain the tiny and shifty Branden Oliver. The undrafted rookie went nuts on a stout New York Jets run defense last week (180+ total yards), and that's not something Oakland's 31st ranked run defense can afford to let happen.
On offense, Derek Carr simply needs to take more shots down the field. Oakland's offense to this point has been rather vanilla, leading to defenses easily predicting plays and stopping the Raiders from putting up many points. Suddenly bursting out against San Diego's third ranked overall defense won't be easy, but if the Raiders are going to have a chance at home this week, that's exactly what will have to happen.]]>
For my thoughts on the offensive tape, you can click here.
-The defensive tape was harder to watch than the offensive tape. The defense looked as bad as any defense I've ever seen, which is why a team like Miami – who came into this week struggling and with a possible quarterback controversy brewing – was able to put up a whopping 38 points on the Raiders.
The Raiders had almost no redeeming qualities on defense, with the majority of the players looking much slower than their Miami counterparts.
In particular, the linebacker corps looked terrible, outside of first round pick Khalil Mack. The Raiders, already down starters Nick Roach (concussion) and Sio Moore (ankle) coming into the game, lost Kaluka Maiava to a hamstring injury early in the game, as well, and were left with Miles Burris and UDFA Bojay Filimoeatu as their Will and Mike linebackers, respectively, for the rest of the game.
Both Burris and Filimoeatu looked terrible throughout the game, especially Filimoeatu, who struggled to make the right reads for run support, couldn't disengage from blockers, and was a liability in pass protection in both zone and man.
Here is a picture from the first quarter of the game in which both Burris and Filimoeatu get sucked forward by play action and are therefore not in their assigned areas for zone coverage. The Raiders could almost not leave the Dolphins' receivers more open on this play and Tannehill was able to easily complete a pass to one of his open receivers:
It wasn't much prettier in the run game as several times Filimoeatu took himself out of the play with a poor read, inexplicably going to the right side and leaving the middle of the field wide open for a long run by Miami:
At least Filimoeatu has a (very) little excuse is a rookie – and an undrafted one, at that. The only reason he was playing is because the Raiders were down 3 linebackers and he was almost an emergency player at the position.
Burris, on the other hand, should be much better than he is. He was a fourth round pick, which usually means he should be able to develop into a solid player. Not only that, he apparently showed the coaching staff enough earlier this summer that he was initially listed as the first team weakside linebacker over Sio Moore.
At this point in his career, however, Burris does not have the requisite speed to play in the NFL. He lacks explosion in both his initial step and cannot quickly change direction and, therefore, is frequently too late to be able to make a play.
-Khalil Mack had a solid, if unspectacular game, playing mostly right defensive end, as he has done in most games, recently. Ideally, Mack would be able to play more of a Joker role, lining up at different places in the formation and both blitzing or dropping into coverage as the scheme requires but always needing to be accounted for.
Unfortunately, he is relegated to right defensive end because he is, by far, the teams' best pass rusher. He also has the necessary strength and explosion to be able to disengage from blockers and so he seals the edge well, for the most part, on the right side of the line.
Mack did not make any amazing plays during the week 4 game, but he is a disciplined player and he isn't typically caught out of position or fooled into making a bad read. He is the teams' best and most consistent player on defense – perhaps on the entire team.
-Opposite Mack, the Raiders are having a hard time at defensive end. Justin Tuck has been better in run support than LaMarr Woodley but neither have offered anything of note as a pass rusher.
Both Tuck and Woodley were beat on quarterback keeper plays, too, versus Miami as Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill ran 5 times for 35 yards in the game. Most of those runs were on plays in which he faked a handoff to the running back but kept the ball and rolled to his right. He did this at least twice against Tuck and at least once against Woodley.
Each time this play was called, the left defensive end – be it Tuck or Woodley – bit on the fake handoff and started to run behind the Miami offensive line for backside pursuit, which left the edge completely cleared of a defender and made it easy for Tannehill to run up the field to his right.
The first time this happened, it was frustrating but understandable. After that? The coaches and/or players failed to make the necessary changes. As they say, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." The Raiders continued to be fooled by the same play – shame on them.
As a side note, that phrase goes slightly different in Texas:
-One underrated player on the Raiders defense is defensive tackle CJ Wilson, who had a very solid game. Wilson lined up mostly on the right side of the formation, next to Mack. Wilson showed good penetration and was able to disengage from his man to make a number of tackles for little to no gain.
In fact, Wilson ended the game with 5 total tackles, 4 of which were solo, which was good enough to be tied for second on the team. Wilson has earned more playing time and looks much better as a 3 technique DT than does Antonio Smith at this point.
-Much was made – and rightly so – about the Raiders completely failure to correctly cover Miami's trips formations in the game. Three times during the game, Miami put 3 receivers in a bunch formation on one side of their alignment, only to have the Raiders fail to have an appropriate number of defenders.
In two of these plays, Miami was able to go for a long distance because there were not enough defending bodies to overwhelm the blockers. Miami's first touchdown was a 13 yard pass out of a trip formation in which Mike Wallace was able to move up the field untouched because the Raiders had only 1 cornerback positioned to guard 3 defenders, although safety Usama Young did move closer to the formation right before the snap.
Again, this is a fool me once/twice situation. Mistakes happen, I understand – although this was a ridiculously big mistake. The first time it happened, that is likely on the players – whoever was supposed to align the defense needed to audible out of Carlos Rogers blitzing and have him back off to cover.
For the same mistake to happen two more times? That's on the coaches and the players. Fool me three times? Shame on everybody.
The yardage on these trip formation plays would have been worse but for Carlos Rogers making a great play against two blockers.
Here is the alignment before the play. Rogers is the player that is lined up right in front of the trips formation with Tarell Brown covering over top.
At the snap, Rogers makes a good play to split the double team receivers and manages to get to the outside even with two guys against him. This forces the receiver to go in and around.
That gives Brown time to come down and make a tackle after 7 yards or so, which isn't good but is better than the first two times the Raiders faced this alignment, at least.
-Speaking of cornerbacks, the Raiders have a lot of trouble at this position. Brown is the teams' best cornerback in coverage but he isn't anything special. He changes direction decently well, though, and can at least stay on or close to his man.
Brown is a liability in run support, however, and he was consistently blocked out of run plays to his side. I don't think I saw him make a single play on a run – he doesn't look to be trying.
Rogers is the opposite – he is very solid for the Raiders in run support. He will, at times, set the edge well and make a running back try to go back inside and Rogers also has made some good plays coming into the backfield on run plays, after he beat his man outside.
However, Rogers gives up a lot of passes because he doesn't have good change of direction and loses his man on routes in which his man cuts quickly. Obviously this is not a good thing for a cornerback.
Rookie TJ Carrie is, I think, the best of the rest. Chimdi Chekwa looks lost and is not the best option in the nickel.
Carrie's biggest issue is that he will give too much cushion to his man and allow some easy catches underneath but he has a good understanding of the position and has the change of direction skills to be able to play in man coverage. He should get more playing time as the season progresses.
At this point, Neiko Thorpe and Keith McGill are afterthoughts although Thorpe, at least, did see a few snaps last Sunday.
-The Raiders will hopefully get much more healthy after the bye week. They desperately need help at linebacker and may get their 3 starters on the field for the first time this season week 6 versus San Diego, as long as Nick Roach can (finally) come back from a concussion he suffered in pre-season and Sio Moore can get back on the field. Those two will likely make a big difference as they are huge upgrades.
Having Kaluka Maiava back from his hamstring would be helpful, too, as he has better speed to play backup than either Burris or Filimoeatu.
As early as week 7, the Raiders could get DJ Hayden back from the physically unable to perform list and the team needs him to be healthy and better this year.
There are a lot of issues on both offense and defense and the likelihood that the Raiders are able to make any noise this year is closer to none than it is to slim.
However, with some of their pieces back, at least the Raiders can try to be competitive and get their young players some valuable experience for next year.]]>
I also did not read any of the other writers' tweets from during the game. Here are my views, unbiased by any other source:
-QB Derek Carr still looks like a franchise QB in the making but this was a bad game for him. This is due, in large part, to not having wide receivers on whom he can depend. He also seems to be out of sync with many of those receivers, especially TE Mychal Rivera. More on that in a moment.
Two receivers with whom he did seem more in sync were James Jones and new-comer Vincent Brown – In his a-little-over-a-half in the game, Carr targeted James Jones & Vincent Brown 9 times and completed 8 passes to the duo, going 8 of 9 for 80 yards (For Jones, it was 5 of 5 for 54 yards, for Brown it was 3 of 4 for 26 yards).
The sole incompletion between those two was the interception Carr threw and Brown was the target on that play. It was a poor throw by Carr and Brown didn't have much of a chance on it.
Compare those stats to Andre Holmes, who was targeted 5 times by Carr, but only came down with 2 catches for 26 yards. Holmes was incredibly inconsistent in the game. He was targeted a team-high 12 times but only came down with 5 of those passes.
Holmes and QB Matt McGloin hooked up a few times after McGloin came in in relief of the injured Carr. Still, McGloin only connected on 3 of the 7 passes he threw Holmes' way, less than 50%.
Holmes was also responsible for an interception when a well-thrown McGloin pass clanked off his hands and bounced into the hands of a Miami safety.
Carr continues to have problems with blitzes and, in fact, his interception was on a big blitz by Miami. The Dolphins blitzed 7 players and Carr threw up a very poor ball towards Vincent Brown, only to see it go almost right to the cornerback for a large return – almost a pick 6.
Carr will continue to be blitzed by opposing teams unless and until he shows that he can exploit the thin secondary on big blitzes. The best quarterbacks want teams to blitz them because they know that means they have good one on one matchups down the field. Carr is at his best when the defense rushes only 3 and he has more time to read the field.
This is not unexpected from a rookie quarterback. The Raiders hope the game will start to slow for Carr, soon, so that he can read and react to big blitzes faster and better.
-It seems that TE Mychal Rivera is also out of sync with Carr. In a previous After Review column, I mentioned a situation in which, had had been of one mind with Carr, Rivera would have peeled off of his route into the flat and run up field. As it was, Carr had to motion for him to do this, which tipped off the defense, too, and they were able to deflect the pass when Rivera moved up field.
Week 4 brought us another example of the two being on different pages. With 33 seconds left in the 2nd quarter, the Raiders faced a 3rd & 8 at their own 37 yard line. Rivera ran up the seam and then turned abruptly and stopped for a moment. He was wide open at this point.
Rivera ran what is known as a curl route, when he rounds his route and expects the ball as he turns. Essentially, Rivera ran a route like this:
It appears, however, that Carr thought that Rivera was going to or supposed to run a deep out route. That is, he didn't expect Rivera to stop after turning, but to continue to go towards the sideline, like this:
Carr threw the ball where he anticipated Rivera to be. You can see, here, that Carr is throwing the ball in anticipation, with Rivera still in his break and not yet completing his turn. Had Rivera continued on an out route, he would still have been wide open and the ball would have been perfectly placed.
Instead, Rivera stopped for a moment and sat on the route and, when he saw the ball coming toward him, tried to move laterally and dive for the ball. Unfortunately, it was too late at this point – the ball was outside of his reach.
Had Rivera and Carr been on the same page, this would have been a completion for a first down and the Raiders could have tried to put up some points before the half. Instead, the Raiders punted and the Dolphins went into the half with a comfortable 24-7 lead.
-The team continues to not throw deep very often this year but it seems likely that Carr is a part of problem. Carr played more than half of the game and threw deep (over 20 yards from the line of scrimmage) only twice in that time.
McGloin, who played the remainder of the game after coming in with a little over five minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter, threw deep three times in his limited reps. I don't have the data, but I from my perspective it also looked like McGloin threw over 10 yards much more consistently than Carr, who seems to prefer a lot of short crossing routes, screens, and targeting running backs out of the backfield.
In some ways, this should be expected – after all, Carr's last two years in college came from a system in which he was asked to target players in short routes and ask them to make a play. It would make sense that Carr would look for these short routes first at this point in his NFL career, too – it's what his mind has been trained to look for.
Unfortunately, the Raiders do not have receivers as explosive as Carr had at Fresno State and his short passes are not moving the team well enough down the field. This is part of why the Raiders have not been able to sustain drives.
McGloin, for comparison, was more than willing to toss up passes to his receivers and let them try to make a play on the ball – especially with Andre Holmes. That resulted in some big plays but also in a number of missed passes as Holmes continued to be erratic.
McGloin targeted James Jones only once – a short pass on a crossing route that Jones was able to take down the field for a 33 yard game. McGloin did not target Vincent Brown at all.
-I have seen that offensive coordinator Greg Olson got some flak, on Twitter at least, for giving FB Jamize Olawale his first carry of the season on a crucial 3rd& 1 late in the first quarter, when Oakland was still in the game. After watching the video of it from a few angles, I disagree that it was a bad call – in fact, I rather liked the play call (more on that in a moment).
The play call was definitely not the problem in this particular instance. Rather, the blocking was poor – specifically rookie LG Gabe Jackson was not able to block his man off.
Here is a screen capture of the play:
Notice that Jackson is losing the leverage battle versus the Miami defensive tackle. That DT is easily able to shed Jackson's attempt to block, here, and penetrates the A gap to make the tackle on Olawale for no gain.
Had the Raiders been able to convert this down and keep this drive alive, perhaps the result of the game would have been different. We will never know. What do know is that Jackson was not able to win his battle, up front, and that did gave people a lot of rage – much of which was directed at the play call, instead of where it should have gone.
Why am I a fan of this play? Many times – especially if, like the Raiders, a team does not have an abundance of talent – the way to beat an opponent is to do something that the opponent does not expect. One of the best ways to do this is to give the ball to players who don't typically touch the ball – think Houston throwing to JJ Watt for a TD versus Oakland in week 2.
This is why, for example, tight end Brian Leonhardt has caught 100% of the passes thrown his way. Because he's only been thrown to 3 times! Teams do not account for him very much because he's not typically a weapon the team uses. Instead, he's a defensive afterthought and so he's more open, frequently.
In fact, Leonhardt was on the receiving end of the game's first TD – a 3 yard throw from Carr on the first offensive series. This score means that Leonhardt has one more touchdown than does Mychal Rivera, who currently has not scored this year – how many people thought that would happen?
So, giving the ball to Olawale was not a problem – it was a good idea! It was simply executed poorly.
-The Raiders run game continues to be terrible and this will need to be an area in which Tony Sparano invests a lot of time and energy.
Darren McFadden looks old and slow. Unfortunately, he still looks better than Maurice Jones-Drew, who looks older and slower. At this point, I see no reason to keep Latavius Murray on the sidelines unless they are convinced he doesn't have what it takes. I don't see how they could be convinced of that with only 4 carries to his name – two of which were when the Raiders were trying to get 1 yard versus the Patriots and the offensive line blocked poorly for both.
Murray has looked explosive and has shown decent vision on kickoff returns for the team, so far. I think he deserves more of a chance than he's had, so far. He should be able to beat the 3.4 yard per carry average that McFadden has and he's already beating Maurice Jones-Drew's extremely poor 1.1 yard per carry average.
-Without a run game, the Raiders are struggling to do any kind of play action successfully. Instead, Olson is trying to create a threat of a run with package substitutions. For example, versus Miami, he would run out of a jumbo package – with OT Menelik Watson in as a blocking tight end – and then turn around and throw it from that same formation the next play. He couldn't get the running game going too well, but at least the formation made the defense think a run was more likely.
Watson wasn't able to sub in as a tight end for much of the game, of course, because he had to come in and play right tackle after Khalif Barnes went out with an injury. Barnes is not an ideal right tackle but he's played the position solidly so far this season.
Watson was very poor at right tackle, showing bad technique and getting consistently beat. He struggled to show any kind of fundamentals and Carr started getting hit more and more from his right side as Watson didn't have good footwork and bent at the waist far too much to get any kind of leverage on the defenders he faced.
Even when Barnes was in the game and the play action was working as well as it could be given the poor running game, there still were issues. For example, the picture below comes from the first sack of Carr in the game. Notice that MJD goes on the wrong side of Carr to receive the hand-off.
Not only is that a difficult way to fool the defense into thinking it's a run, but Jones-Drew was also on the wrong side of the quarterback to block the free rusher coming in and that was the player that was able to take down Carr with very little effort. It was a very poor play.
-Tony Sparano inherits a mess of a team but not one without talent. His job as head coach will be to inspire the team to focus and perform better. He is a much more aggressive personality than is Dennis Allen and that may work in his favor in this case – the team needs some fire put under them to perform to the level that they must.
The Raiders are off this week and will return in week 6 to play the surging San Diego chargers at home.]]>
-Darren McFadden continues to show poor vision. He struggled in the zone scheme (twice) because he was not able to see where holes would open up by anticipating how the movements of offensive linemen would affect the holes. Instead, he runs towards holes that he can see open as he approaches.
The problem with him running this way is that frequently those holes are filled with a linebacker by the time he gets there. There were multiple examples of McFadden leaving yards on the field due to poor vision. If he had timing and anticipation to go along with his re-discovered hard running style, he could dramatically improve the paltry 3.3 yards per carry that he currently averages. Through 3 games, McFadden is only 38th in yards per carry among qualifying running backs.
-The offensive line had a very good game against the Patriots, as a group – especially the two tackles. Both Penn and Barnes were beat a few times during the game but neither gave up pressure that was too terrible and both handled defensive guru Bill Belichek's defensive scheme wrinkles well.
Stefan Wisniewski also continued his strong season, making good line adjustments, and holding up well against Vince Wilfork, who he frequently played against one-on-one. Gabe Jackson looked very good, as well, and continues to get better every week.
Right guard Austin Howard had some good plays and some bad but he looked improved over the first two weeks and he's still head and shoulders above Lucas Nix. All-in-all, the Raiders offensive line should give fans encouragement. Carr is getting pressured less and less every week as the offensive line improves coverage decisions and Carr gets more comfortable with them.
-Through 3 games, I think that Left tackle Donald Penn has been the best tackle that the Raiders have had in the time I've been covering Oakland – better than Jared Veldheer who always had promise but was not dominant. Penn has been pretty close to perfect, walling off opponents in the passing game with a strong anchored base and good footwork.
Penn's solid play makes me wonder what the team would have done had he not been a late release from the Buccaneers. The Rodger Saffold debacle was a bad look for the Raiders but they lucked into Penn's release – especially with Penn coming from California – and, as they say, it's better to be lucky than good.
-One big reason the offensive line looks better – aside from the fact that they have much more talent this year – is that Carr looks to be very good at hitting the determined setup spot. On each play, the quarterback should be taking a pre-determined number of steps on his dropback and then setup behind the line of scrimmage that number of yards.
Offensive tackles know where the setup spot should be and they play their man with that spot in mind. If the quarterback abandons the setup spot, the offensive tackles will not necessarily know this and will be blocking their man with a poor angle in relation to the quarterback's location. Terrelle Pryor was bad at hitting the setup spot, last year. Derek Carr appears to be pretty good at it.
-As the offensive line continues to gel and Carr gets more comfortable with them, the team will hopefully have to use Darren McFadden as a blocker less. McFadden stayed back on a large number of snaps and many times he was not necessary as a blocker. In the future, should the team be able to continue blocking well, it would be better to have him out on a route so as to either provide Carr with a checkdown option or to cause the defense to have to account for him and therefore rush fewer defenders.
McFadden looks to be much improved as a blocker, however, an area in which he has struggled before – even this season. He took on defenders well and didn't whiff on any pass blocks. It was a very promising game for the team's pass protection overall.
-The wide receiver corps was struggling even before Rod Streater was injured during this game. With Streater, their most consistently dynamic receiver out for at least a good stretch of the season, the wide receiver position is really hurting.
One player the Raiders absolutely cannot count on stepping up is Denarius Moore, who had a terrible game with several drops including the final Raiders pass that glanced off his hands, deflected off a defender and went right into the hands of Vince Wilfork for a game-sealing interception. Moore also struggled at other points in the game and seems almost unable to win one-on-one jumpballs, which is a necessary skill for a receiver in today's NFL.
James Jones looks to have lost a step but he had the best hands on the team even before Streater's injury. The team will have to lean a little heavier on him, which I count as a good thing. He isn't a threat to break for a long TD every time he touches the ball but he's sure-handed and savvy and, freak fumbling plays aside, he's consistently the best receiver on the team this season – especially now.
-Mychal Rivera has not had a very strong season thus far and partially it's because he is getting pushed around as a blocker. He also is not very much in-sync with Carr, yet, although that will likely come in time.
One particularly noticeable play came during the Raiders' long drive in the middle of the third quarter. Rivera was blocking against one of the Patriots' linebackers, Rob Ninkovich, and was expected to block him out of the play. Ninkovich stepped into Rivera and literally threw Rivera to one side and then made the tackle on Darren McFadden. It is plays like this that keep Rivera off the field in favor of the not-great-but slightly-better-blocker Brian Leonhardt.
Even when he is on the field, Rivera doesn't necessarily make the right decisions. As an example, late in the fourth quarter, the Raiders faced 3rd & 9. The Patriots made a late blitz and Carr rolled right out of the pocket to avoid the blitzers.
When Carr rolled, Rivera was running a route into the flat in the same direction. Had Rivera been savvy, he would have recognized that his best bet was to break off his route and move up the field, giving Carr a chance to lob over the coverage to him. Rivera did not recognize this until Carr motioned to him to do so and by the time he did, it was too late – the safety arrived from over top and was able to knock down the pass. Rivera and Carr will need to get on the same page for Rivera to truly be an impact player at this point.
-Final thought: Carr has looked better each week and seems to be hitting his stride a bit more and gaining confidence. The offense still hasn't looked very vertical but that isn't all Olson's fault – Carr will frequently throw to Darren McFadden or Marcel Reece as outlet receivers instead of testing defenses deep.
Carr has made mistakes, sure, but has kept bad mistakes to a minimum. He is going with more safe passes and checkdowns instead of home-run attempts. This is both good and bad – the Raiders will eventually need him to be a more dynamic passer and he certainly has the arm to do so. On the other hand, I can see value in making sure that he is completing passes efficiently and moving the ball down the field, something he and the offense were finally able to do last Sunday.
Tomorrow, the team will face the 1-2 Miami Dolphins in London, England at 10am PT. The Raiders will look to build off their strong game against the Patriots and go for their first win of the season.]]>
We are only one week into the season and it already feels like the Raiders are behind the 8 ball. Partially this is because the team has a brutal schedule this year, partially it's because the team looked out of their depth for most of the game last week, but mostly it's because the Raiders had such a good opportunity to steal a win – and an east coast win at that – and they couldn't come away with anything but moral victories.
When the Raiders play against the Texans this week, they are already trying to turn the season around- and it's only week 2! Here is what I will be watching for at 1:25 pm on Sunday:
1. Will Derek Carr improve?
After rewatching every offensive snap this week using NFL Rewind's coaches film feature, it was clear that Carr left a lot of yards on the field. The Jets got to Carr by using a variety of blitzes and he didn't recognize when to throw to hot receivers nor which way to roll out to avoid the rush. He also made some poor throws to receivers who could have made a play with a better pass.
None of this is unexpected or even negative, really. Carr looked exactly like what he was: a rookie making his first start in the NFL. He had both positive and negative plays.
Carr was starting, in large part, because he has shown he is ahead of the normal rookie QB learning curve and, as offensive coordinator Greg Olson said, what he needs to learn at this point can only be learned by playing.
And so I will be looking to see if Carr can learn the lessons from the Jets about reading coverages, finding hot receivers, and stretching the field to open up the underneath routes a bit more.
2. Can the Raiders offensive line stop JJ Watt & friends?
Left tackle Donald Penn and left guard Gabe Jackson both had solid games against the Jets – especially Penn, who I had with only one big mistake upon review of the offensive snaps. The left side of the offensive line looked pretty good in both run and pass protection last Sunday.
The right side of the line, however, struggled all day in New Jersey. The player who struggled the most, ironically, was right guard and former Jet Austin Howard, who made the mistake of saying, in the week leading up to the game, that the Jets were able to be pushed around.
Howard had a particularly bad game, getting beat in one on one matchups multiple times against the large Jets defensive line and missing some key blocks – most notably he was supposed to pull and block the outside on the play where Jones-Drew was clotheslined, fumbled, and kicked the ball backwards 10 yards where Carr was able to catch it.
To Howard's right, Khalif Barnes had an on and off day at right tackle. He was better than Barnes but still wasn't strong enough to prevent a number of pressures on Carr throughout the day. When Barnes is beat, he lacks the foot speed to recover and he was beat several times this way on Sunday.
The Texans don't boast a defensive line as deep as the Jets, especially with first overall pick Jadeveon Clowney out with an injury. However, Texans star defensive end JJ Watt is a better individual player than anyone on the Jets' defensive line and will likely be an ordeal for the Raiders offensive line to block.
The Texans will likely try to us Watt to take advantage of the weaker right side of the Raiders offensive line and so Oakland's offensive line will need to improve dramatically in protection calls and win their one on one battles this week if they want to keep their first year quarterback upright against Houston's defenders.
Offensive line coach Tony Sparano put his men through the paces this week in an effort to focus them and make sure they came out ready to be physical and win battles. I will be watching to see if the Raiders OL responds to their down week, last week, and can give Carr a clean pocket and time to throw against Houston.
3. Will the receivers produce?
Carr wasn't alone with struggling in week one, but at least he has the solid excuse of the game being his first in the NFL. The receiving corps did not have this excuse but they struggled to get separation from the Jets defensive backs, one of whom had converted from playing cornerback from safety a whopping month before the game.
The Raiders receiving corps struggled with getting separation, some drops, and when they did make the catch, the struggled to make any kind of play. Both of Denarius Moore's receptions, for example, had him one on one with a cornerback on the outside. If he were able to make a play for yards, he could have made a big splash in the game. Instead, he failed to convert on both throws.
Andre Holmes, who had a breakout year last year with the Raiders, was targeted only one time versus the Jets. He is still working his way out of the doghouse after having a number of drops in the preseason and training camp.
Second year tight end Mychal Rivera was responsible for three chain-moving receptions on the Raiders final drive but was a non-factor in the game prior to that drive and, in fact, ended the game with only the three receptions from the final drive. He needs to be more involved this week as he is one of the Raiders better weapons in the passing game.
4. Will the defense be able to get off the field?
The defense looked better than the offense versus the Jets but not substantially better. They were able to create two important turnovers, one of which was almost on the goal line, and this helped keep the score down.
The Jets were able to run almost at will the entire day, however, and ran to the tune of 212 yards on 34 attempts, a 6.2 yard per carry average – the worst in the NFL. Much of that yardage came on a 71 yard TD run by Chris Ivory, who finished the day with 102 yards on 10 carries because of the run.
The Raiders defense was on the field for more of the game than they should have been, however, close to 60% of the time. That's far too much as defense is harder to play than offense and defenders get tired quicker.
A large part of the reason the defense was on the field was due to the the offense continually going 3 and out. However, the defense also didn't make many plays aside from the two turnovers. According to Pro Football Focus, for example, starting corner back Carlos Rogers allowed the Jets to complete 7 of the 8 passes that came his direction.
The Jets hardly needed to throw, however, because of their success in the running game and the Raiders looked unable to stop the rush the entire day.
The Texans won last week with QB Ryan Fitzpatrick under center but their offense is shaping up to be inconsistent. Fitzpatrick is the definition of quarterback purgatory – he's good enough to win some for you but not elite or consistent enough to put the team on his back and lead them to victory on his own.
The Raiders' first focus will be to shut down the Texans run game and get some pressure on Fitzpatrick. If they can succeed with this, they can take the day and keep their playoff aspirations alive.
All through camp and preseason, Allen dismissed worries about pass rush deficiency and offensive line issues because the games did not count.
Sunday against the Jets, however, the game did count- and the concerns became much more valid and pressing. The Raiders continued to have trouble getting to the opposing quarterback and the running game was stagnant.
The offensive game plan, especially, looked overly conservative, with Carr rarely throwing down field and the offense instead trying to rely on short passes which became less and less effective as the game went on.
To start the game, Carr was mostly effective, going 7 for 7 for 53 yards in early going. Carr also got an early touchdown, throwing to Rod Streater, who spun and took the ball into the end zone to give the Raiders an early 7-3 lead.
After the touchdown, which was achieved in large part because an interception gave the offense a short field, the Raiders were scarcely able to get a first down until late in the 4th quarter. That was, in large part due to ineffective play calling by Olson. The offensive line didn't help matters, being totally dominated in the running game.
There were some good signs amidst the negative, of course. The Raiders were penalized an extremely low 4 times for only 20 yards. If they can continue to play disciplined football, it will help them a lot over the course of the game.
Also, the team won the turnover battle by intercepting Geno Smith once and getting another turnover when they forced Smith to fumble almost at their own goal line. The Raiders did not turn over the ball in the game, although Carr threw two near interceptions including one pass that was right to Jets' rookie safety Calvin Pryor.
Still, every team has close calls week in and week out and it's a positive that the Raiders were able to get more turnovers than the other team.
Speaking of Carr, in his first start he was a predictable rookie mix of positive and negative. He was good, initially, throwing a lot of shorter passes and screens. When the Jets adjusted to take those away, though, Carr and the defense struggled immensely.
At times, Carr showed good presence and was able to climb the pocket and step up to let the pass rush go behind him. He also threw the ball away a few times instead of taking the sack, which is good. On the negative, he was inaccurate on a number of passes, which didn't help his already-struggling receivers, and as the game progressed he had a tendency to hold onto the ball too long – which was at least partially due to lack of separation by his wide receivers – and he took too many hits and sacks because of it.
The Raiders coaching staff did little to help Carr, however. The game plan was flat, vanilla, especially on offense where offensive coordinator Greg Olson seemed to be playing more to benched QB Matt Schaub's strengths than to Carr's.
The Raiders barely let the rookie QB throw deep at all, instead having him throw behind the line of scrimmage or within 10 yards to complete short passes. These worked early on but as the defense became accustomed to the throws, they adjusted to cover those routes and the Raiders didn't take many shots downfield.
Another questionable move by the coaching staff was to give Denarius Moore the start over veteran James Jones. Jones has been, in my opinion, the most steady wide receiver throughout both training camp and preseason games.
While Jones is not a true number one receiver, he runs good routes, understands how to play the position well and, as he showed on Sunday, is a very gifted athlete. He also possesses the best set of hands on the team, which any quarterback should appreciate.
This is not entirely Moore's fault, but he was targeted a team-high 8 times in the game. His stat line at the end: 2 receptions for 8 yards. Moore is better as the teams' slot receiver coming off the bench, at this point, than as a starter outside. I'd much prefer James Jones as the starter, there.
Speaking of not using personnel correctly – it is not a coincidence, I don't think, that the Raiders were able to move the ball much more in the first and last drives because that is when the Raiders made use of two of their better weapons: Marcel Reece and Mychal Rivera.
Reece was a non-factor in the passing game, statistically, but using him helped open things up. Any time a team can spread out the ball and show the defense a number of different looks and weapons, it causes that much more concern and confusion for the defense.
The Raiders would have had a much better chance in this game if they had continued to use Reece in the passing game – and not just on short routes out of the backfield. Last year versus the Jets, they had some success with Reece on crossing routes at a medium depth because he can out-physical cornerbacks and out-run linebackers. The game started well with two Reece targets in the first two drives, but Olson and Carr hardly looked Reece's way, again, for the rest of the game.
The use (or, in this case, non-use) of Mychal Rivera was even more puzzling. Prior to the last drive of the game, only 1 pass was attempted to Rivera. It's almost unbelievable to say that, but it's true.
On the final drive for the Raiders, the only drive in which the Raiders offense was able to get past the center of the field and come away with some points of their own accord, Carr targeted Rivera 4 times and was successful throwing to him, coming away with 3 completions to Rivera for 31 yards in that drive. Those were to be Rivera's only completions in the game.
If you told me before the game that the Raiders ran only 15 times and had a rookie QB throw 32 times, that of the 32 passes only a couple would be more than 15 yards long, and that they took James Jones, Marcel Reece, and Mychal Rivera almost completely out of the pass game, I would predict a big loss – each of those are poor choices by the coaching staff.
With all of that going against them, it's a wonder that the Raiders were in this game, at all.
The Raiders have a chance to shake off the poor choices from the Jets game and are focused on winning at home versus the Texans, this week, in Oakland at 1:25pm on Sunday. For my thoughts and analysis during the game, follow me on twitter @AsherMathews.]]>
New York enters 2014 with quarterback Geno Smith more confident in his second season, and after adding the likes of Chris Johnson and Eric Decker to spice up interest in Jets tickets, Gang Green just might pack a serious punch on offense. It's oddly defense that is somewhat worrisome now, as the Jets will be without starting corner Dee Milliner in this one and have weak depth in their secondary, overall.
On the Oakland side of things, rookie passer Derek Carr will get his first ever start against New York's nasty front line. He does have a slight advantage with New York's secondary being banged up, but he may need Maurice Jones-Drew to be productive to help keep the Jets' defense honest. Regardless of whether or not Oakland comes out on top, Carr's mere presence offers optimism and should help improve the value of Raiders tickets moving forward.
On paper, this is New York's game to lose. Jets head coach Rex Ryan has had over a week to gameplan against a rookie quarterback and his offense should be good enough to match anything Carr can put up, either way. Ultimately, the Jets should enter as the favorites and have a good chance at kicking off 2014 with a 1-0 mark.]]>
The Raiders have historically played poorly when traveling to the east coast and head coach Dennis Allen decided they would try something different this year, traveling a couple of extra days early, this week, so that the team would arrive and be able to settle in by Thursday evening and have the time to get more acclimated to the Eastern time zone before Sunday's game.
The Raiders coaches hope that traveling earlier will help the Raiders players adjust their internal clocks and have more energy when the start playing on Sunday- historically, the Raiders have looked flat in games on the east coast.
Not only will I be watching the Raiders energy level, here are the other areas I will be focusing on when the Raiders take the field versus the Jets:
-Can the Raiders' offensive line stop the Jets' front seven?
The Jets have some concerns in their secondary but their front 7 projects to be one of the best in the NFL in 2014 and they are coming in with no real injuries to their starters at these positions.
The battle up front with the Raiders re-vamped offensive line versus the Jets 3-4 front will be a big piece of the story of who wins this game.
The Jets' 2014 starting front 7 combined for 32.5 sacks in 2013, with the bulk of those coming from start defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson (10.5 sacks in '13) and 12 year veteran LB Calvin Pace (10 sacks in '13). For comparison purposes, the Raiders 2013 starting front 7 had 27 sacks last year with no one player getting more than 6 (Lamarr Houston).
The Raiders have also put a heavy investment on their offensive line from last year and I do mean heavy. Reggie McKenzie signed Donald Penn at 340 lbs, to play left tackle, signed Austin Howard at 330 lbs to play right guard and drafted Gabe Jackson, who is a run blocking mauler at 336 and will be starting at left guard for the Raiders.
In all, the Raiders offensive line that will start against the Jets on Sunday weighs in at 40 lbs heavier than the unit that played the Jets week 14 last year, or an average of an extra 8 lbs per lineman.
As they say, "Big wins you a lot of matchups." The Raiders have undeniably gotten bigger this year.
That size should pay good dividends in the running game, where the Raiders would like to dominate. If offensive coordinator Greg Olson's plan comes to fruition, the Raiders will be able to pound the football against the Jets and get their rookie QB Derek Carr into a lot of short yardage situations where the Jets' formidable defense is less able to unleash their sometimes formidable pass rush.
If the Raiders can get their run game going, it will make life easier for Carr in a number of ways. Not only will it help the down-and-distance gameplan that Olson and his staff are looking to win, but it will also open up more play action options in his playbook and let Carr see less all-out rushes on him, trying to bring him down.
The Raiders would like to be a win-in-the-trenches team and have put some focus on building up their offensive line over the last two years. On Sunday, we will get a first look at how the team has done this year.
There are some reasons to be optimistic. After all, the unit that will come out on Sunday, left to right Donald Penn, rookie Gabe Jackson, Stefan Wisniewski, Austin Howard, and Khalif Barnes, was the same group that blocked masterfully for Carr in week 4 of the preseason, where Carr carved up the Seattle defense and earned the starting role.
Preseason is not regular season, however, and the Jets will be gunning for Carr like the Seahawks were not. This will be a big test for the Raiders offensive line and a large feather in their cap if they show they can dominate against this defensive front seven.
-How will Carr look in his first start?
Speaking of Carr, he will obviously be a large focus for not only me, but of most of the people watching the game. Carr was drafted to be the quarterback of the future but showed enough intelligence, ability, moxie, and poise to be the first rookie QB to start week 1 in the history of the franchise.
The biggest question for Carr will be how well he does against a defense that is trying to gameplan for him and confuse him into throwing interceptions. Rex Ryan's defense has historically been very good and confusing and confounding rookie quarterbacks.
The Jets have some weaknesses on their defense this year, however, at least to the casual observer. When the Jets lineup in a 2 safety, 2 cornerback set, their two starting cornerbacks for this week, Antonio Allen and Darren Walls, have 4 combined starts at cornerback between them. Allen is actually a safety on the team and started playing cornerback for the first time in his life only 3 weeks ago.
Behind Allen and Walls, the Jets have 1st round rookie safety Calvin Pryor along with seasoned 9 year veteran Dawan Landry. The Jets' secondary looks to be a big weakness that the Raiders can exploit…as long as Carr is given the proper amount of time to throw.
Carr has, I think, a better chance for success than most rookie quarterbacks. Many of the high-picked quarterbacks that come out of college are taken for their fantastic size, arm, and potential. Because there are some advantages to coming out of college as soon as possible, many players come out after their junior year in college and they simply do not have sufficient experience at the position to read the field well enough in their first year in the NFL.
Carr, on the other hand, came out after his Senior year and having been a 3 year starter for Fresno State. He has played a lot of games and has seen a lot of different defenses in his time, including some very good schools that have pro-ready players, like USC.
Carr also comes from a football family and has been in and around football his entire life. He has talked about watching film with his older brother of 10 years, former 1st overall pick to the Texans, David Carr. He may be the rare rookie quarterback that is ready to face an NFL caliber defense and be able to understand the nuances of what he is seeing.
-Can the Raiders defense continue to gel quickly enough to stop the Jet's offense?
When the Raiders played the Jets in week 14 of the 2013 season, they played reasonably well on offense even with starting a rookie QB, then, too: Matt McGloin.
McGloin completed 18 of 31 throws for 245 yards, 2 TDs, and an INT and Marcel Reece chipped in a great game at RB with 123 yards and TD on 19 carries in a 27-37 loss to the Jets.
If the Raiders can score 27 points (or more) again this year, they have a very good shot at winning this game. But not if the defense gives up plays like the 2013 version did.
The Raiders' 2014 defense has looked very, very bad for many of the preseason games but seems to have improved as the weeks went on – either because they just needed to gel as Allen asserted or because the opposition was struggling even more.
The Jets do not have an elite offense. Second year QB Geno Smith should be improved over a year ago and their priority free agent, former Denver WR Eric Decker, are certainly concerns for the Raiders but the Jets' backfield combo of Chris Ivory and Chris Johnson seems to have high boom or bust potential and the rest of the offense seems fairly pedestrian.
The Raiders will need to get good pressure on quarterback Smith, however, to be successful on Sunday because, like the Jets, the Raiders' biggest weakness is at cornerback where free agent signee Tarell Brown has looked pretty bad and nickel cornerback TJ Carrie is a seventh round rookie.
In many ways, these teams are very similar with their strengths and weaknesses. Which brings us to:
-Winning the special teams' battle:
A big reason as to why the Raiders lost to the Jets last year was special teams – the Jets were able to score a TD on a blocked Marquette King punt and take the score from 13-3 to 20-3, a 17 point difference. The Raiders ended up bringing the game to within 10 points so that 7 point special teams TD became very important in the end.
The Raiders have looked much more solid on special teams this year (I say this with my fingers crossed). Rookie TJ Carrie has also worked his way into the starting punt returner position and looks to be better, there, than anyone the Raiders had last year. Second year running back Latavius Murray has shown good promise as the kickoff returner for the team, also a position of weakness for the team.
Also, with greater depth all around on the team, the Raiders should look to have a more physical and better disciplined special teams unit this Sunday than the unit that took the field last year.
There is an old football axiom that coaches love to say: If your team can win two of the three phases of the game (offense, defense, special teams) than your team will win the game.
This is not always true, of course, but it's a decent general rule in football. If the Raiders can win the offensive battle or the defensive battle and also win over New York with their special teams play, the Raiders can take the day and begin to prove the many doubters wrong.

Of course, you have no problem picking up the tab for all those correctional facilities, right John. You do know what the definition of insanity is, don't you? Something about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Score one for the good guys ... or good guy.
Oh and Editors ... I am so tired of these "straw" blitzkriegers on the Left this time from "John Galt" out of blue just injecting his hate speech baiting which is what causes these boards to have to be locked or shut down ... come on, get on it, do your job and delete that pointless stuff.

Ariana Grande Treats Fans to New Song After Hitting 10 Million Twitter Followers
Ariana Grande celebrated a Twitter milestone today (Oct. 2) by popping some pink champagne -- just not the kind you think!
Ariana Grande celebrated a Twitter milestone today (Oct. 2) by popping some pink champagne -- just not the kind you think!
It's always funny to see baseball players do things that you don't see everyday, something that makes you feel like they are one of us.
Talk about a crazy road trip! This guy clearly wasn't thinking when he pulled this stunt! It turns out that somebody from Boston got drunk and a little pushy. I know...it never happens. ever.
The soccer craze is something I can't grasp. I understanding loving a team. I love the Celtics, Red Sox, and the Patriots. I was AT the game when the Celtics won the 2008 Championship, and it was the highlight of my sports watching career, but never once did I get the urge to go CRAZY and almost bring m self to delirium and wildness just because my team scored a couple points.
Despite the Patriots cutting ties with Aaron Hernandez, he will always be thought of as a New England Patriot. Some clever Buffalo Bills fans decided to mock Hernandez with some custom made jerseys on Sunday.
The Jonas Brothers recently wrapped a huge headline tour that ran through summer, but they aren't letting any grass grow under their well-heeled feet, nor are they wasting time getting to know the insides of their domiciles. They are heading back out on the road this fall for a run of dates at intimate North American venues …with a catch!
Okay, its time now. The dormant Red Sox fan can now come out of hiding, dust off the jerseys and get on board with what is shaping up to be one heck of a season.
I am one of the lucky people to work indoors in an air conditioned studio, if you happen to work outside I feel bad for you!
Want a front row seat to Taylor Swift's Red Tour? Well, the singer certainly provides it with her video for 'Red.' It's comprised of live clips from the the tour cycle and live appearances in support of her best-selling 'Red' album.
The Boston Bruins had an amazing season, even though it didn't end they way they wanted.

Cornish man swears off hunting after being gored by buck
CORNISH - Everett Gray said he plans to retire from deer hunting after being gored by an eight-point buck he shot with his .257 Roberts rifle.
"My brother gave me that rifle," Gray said Sunday. "I shot my first deer with it, and I just shot my last."
Gray said he was on his property Thursday night, talking to a neighbor. He spotted a deer and decided to grab his rifle and see if he could get a shot.
"I found a good spot to sit, and I sat there and waited," said Gray, who is in his 50s.
He saw the deer again, but then it disappeared into the woods. Gray decided to have a cigarette and go inside if the deer didn't show another time. While he was smoking, the deer appeared, this time 20 yards away.
He fired and hit the deer, which took off. Gray said he followed and found his quarry on the ground.
"It was beautiful; it looked like a deer bedded down in the woods," he said.
Gray said he walked up to the deer, patted it between its antlers and thanked it for giving its life. He didn't expect what happened next.
"The deer bounds up and rolls down the hill," he said, getting tangled in the underbrush. As he approached, the deer lunged.
"He drove the horn into me, picked me up and pounded me into the ground," Gray said. "He was just thrashing and I'm holding onto his horns - I thought he killed me."
Gray said the antler went four inches into his side, but did not hit any major organs. He was able to get out of the woods on his own. He was treated at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
Gray said he is still haunted by the images of the attack.
"I've been doing this for 10 years," he said of hunting. "I think I'm retiring."
He doesn't blame the deer; in fact he's impressed with the animal for the strength it exhibited after being shot.
"This deer had so much heart," he said.

Elaine Duke talks with WFED about leaving DHS
Monday - 9/21/2009, 4:27pm EDT
Sometime in the next month, Elaine Duke is expected to leave her job as the Undersecretary of Management for the Department of Homeland Security.
She's been with DHS almost from the beginning, when the Transportation Security Administration was one of 22 agencies placed under the DHS banner.
One of her most recent tasks was overseeing the first Presidential transition in the agency's young history.
Recently, Federal News Radio's Max Cacas sat down with Elaine Duke for an exit interview.
He brings us a preview of that interview now.
