Comments on: Why Raiders will stick with ZBS http://www.ibabuzz.com/oaklandraiders/2012/08/18/why-raiders-will-stick-with-zbs/ A look inside the world of the highly classified Oakland Raiders from the writers of Bay Area News Group Sun, 19 May 2013 05:23:24 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: DKnight007 http://www.ibabuzz.com/oaklandraiders/2012/08/18/why-raiders-will-stick-with-zbs/comment-page-18/#comment-1005869 DKnight007 Sun, 19 Aug 2012 18:51:20 +0000 http://www.ibabuzz.com/oaklandraiders/?p=19701#comment-1005869 Well, we are seeing what will worry about Knapp and play calling this season. Let’s hope he not showing all of his cards though. Some things that really bothered me about his play calling in Fridays game. Why is he running zone blocking in goal line situations?? In short yardage and especially in goal line runs, it should man to man power formations and blocking with double TE sets and an extra linemen. Like what Hue was running the last two years. Or maybe Knapp should be running a play action on 1st down instead of 3rd down?? It was absolutely inexcusable to not score a TD from the 1 yard line on that series! Knapp is on watch from here on out Nation…I’m sorry to say. The passing game looks out of whack and there is no rythem either. This is what I was worrying about when Hue was fired, was the offense regressing from the last two years or consistently being able to score TD’s and execute efficiently. McK and Allen should have just kept Hue’s play book and have Saunders call the plays. Maintaining continuity on offense was a key and now they have to start all over again with a mediocre below average play caller like Knapp calling plays. Oooff! Ugh!

He doesn’t even seem to have the basic QB throwing skills. You can’t develop something that simply isn’t there. Say what you will, the QB position is one that MUST be able to pass all types of throws. TP has demonstrated a minimal Tebow skill set which simply is not what we need. Find a real thrower, draft him & develop him. But he must have some skills to begin worth other than to be able to roll out & scramble. ------------------------------------------------------- you also said dmc would never be a quality rb and he was only a slot reciever. how is that looking right now? 714.JB Says:
