Second quarter review: Raiders 10, Dolphins 7
By Steve Corkran
Sunday, September 16th, 2012 at 11:28 am in Oakland Raiders.
The second quarter turned intoa battle for field position, with the Raiders and Dolphins trading punts at the outset.
Again, the Raiders came out on the short end of the field position. Their first four drives started at their own 16-, 8-, 7- and 14-yard line, respectively.
Running back Darren McFadden returned to the game after being poked in the eye late in the first quarter. His absence actually benefitted the Raiders, as backup Mike Goodson turned a short reception into a 64-yard touchdown.
It’s likely that Goodson would not have been on the field if McFadden hadn’t suffered the injury.
Slowly but surely, the Raiders started turning the field position in their favor. However, they, too, weren’t able to get much going in the second quarter.
A holding penalty on Brandon Myers wiped out a nice punt return by Philip Adams, which pushed the Raiders back to their own 18-yard line, when they would have had the ball close to midfield.
The Raiders crossed midfield after a 31-yard completion to wide receiver Denarius Moore on Moore’s first catch of the season. However, three straight Palmer misfires brought about another Shane Lechler punt.
So it went the entire quarter, with the teams trading punts, struggling to put together sustained drives.
The Raiders finally broke through on their final drive of the first half, with Carson Palmer connecting with tight end David Ausberry for a 31-yard gain to the Dolphins 30.
The drive reached the Dolphins 7, before Palmer misfired on three straight passes. McFadden had the first one clank off his chest, as he looked away too soon.
The Raiders settled for a tiebreaking, 25-yard field goal from Sebastian Janikowski and their first lead of the day.

When your QB has over 220 yards passing before half time there is no way we can say this is a conservative play calling Knapp boring predictable stuff here.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:30 am
Knapp stiffed the run game so looking for the TD pass from the 7 was a no brainer.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:30 am
We get the ball to start the half.
Need to see some solid adjustments with the offense.
Outside of the first series the D is ballin.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:31 am
Yep, looks like Tarver made some adjustments
September 16th, 2012 at 11:31 am

Knapp is to blame for our non-existent rushing game even though we have arguable the best back in the league. So yes I blame Knapp for that.

Ravens are real deal. Harbaugh bowl coming this year.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:31 am
269 yards, mostly through the air, in a soggy early east coast away game. Just need to fix this field position problem and 3rd down ineptness.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:32 am
Game looks on pace for Klas prediction of 17-10 Raiders win.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:32 am
They keep trying to run DMac and it’s going nowhere. How many times do you want to go to that dry well when the passing game is clearly working?
September 16th, 2012 at 11:32 am
No running game, again
September 16th, 2012 at 11:32 am
I will say this again: Hue’s Raiders would have given up midway through the first quarter, and we’d be down by 21 right now.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:32 am
The offense is seeing 8 in the box to mitigate DMAC.
Carson will have to continue to make plays to loosen up the front.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:32 am
Just want DMC more involved. But they are doing good in the air. Knapp still sucks
September 16th, 2012 at 11:32 am
Keys to winning this game.
- OLine needs to hold up
- Keep passing til they back off the run
- Keep running at least once every 3 downs to keep them honest. We’ll catch em in coverage and then get it going. They are getting tired.
- CP3 has to catch them one more time blitzing, where he audibles to a screen and we burn them big.
We still havent made them adjust, but we are close. One more score.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:33 am
This game we have run between the tackles without giving up. And we have taken deeper shots downfield.. 20yds + knapp adjusted.. he feared tthe cannon treatment.. better plan this week
September 16th, 2012 at 11:33 am
CP may have 230+ yards but he is 13/25.

It has nothing to do with execution tho right? I mean, we shouldnt be up 14-0 if DMC catches that pass?
No turnovers on our part has nothing to do with our lead huh? Knapp read your posts and adjusted and that is why we havent had any MAJOR blunders.
Sure.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:35 am
Some one predicted we wont have a pass of 15 yards.

KC is beyond awful, you can add those 2 wins to the schedule.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:37 am
Teams are going to mitigate DMAC, and put 8 in the box.
Its up to KNAPP to create the O, and the players needs to execute.

Gotta get McFadden going here in the run game. Not sure if it’s McFadden in the ZBS or the o-line failing to open any holes, but the best RB in the league should not be getting stuffed at the line virtually every play for two straight weeks.

The thing is, you dont admit it until I make it blatantly obvious and paint you i n a corner with your own words.
There is nothing for me to admit. I said if we execute and dont turn the ball over, we will be fine.
I have no issues with Knapps offense. You do, you are the one that needs to eat crow when things go right for Knapp, not me.

The best RB in the league does not play for our team.
You can’t play 15 good games out of 70, never do anything meaningful in the postseason, and call yourself the best RB in the NFL.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:40 am
Can the Raiders score 2 TD’s in the 2nd half?
I know that’s pushing it.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:40 am
It’s going to be a difficult year for DMac. He has been proclaimed as the best RB in the NFL. Every team they face is going to have 22 eyes on him. Whenever he is out there, they are keying on him.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:40 am
Cp3 is deadly on passes over 15yds.. dont waste him like you do dmac knapp..

Oline is playing 5 on 8, sometimes 6 on 8.
Box is full need to do something else with DMAC.

7 & 8 in the box will do that to any RB.
DMC catches the screen and we are up 14-0, and they are forced to back off.
We must start blocking in the pass better as well.
Knapp needs to be ready to unleash another well timed screen pass also. The blitz is going to come hard this half. They dont have any other options.
September 16th, 2012 at 11:42 am
Good game so far. No surprise we are struggling to run the ball. Miami has one the best run D’s in the league. Last time DMC played them he had 2 yds on 8 carries. That was with the mythical POWER BLOCKING SCHEME.
Palmer again looks solid. A couple of misfires just like everybody else.
Go Raiders!!!
September 16th, 2012 at 11:42 am
Yo sup peeps.
Can someone tell how that was not an intentional grounding by Tannehill in the 2nd qtr? Darn these refs.

Nope.. knapp didnt adjust last week.. no long passes like this weekk. Fewr runs and playaction.. knapp fuçked up last week. Thats all. I knew he would. Ive seen him for yrs.

September 16th, 2012 at 11:55 am
Palmer completes that to Moore and it just may go for a score.

Knapps fault. Fire him. He should have called a different play right?

Blame Knapp tho. Because Palmer didnt miss a wide open receiver right?

Palmer missing throws and throwing high
Gotta hit that throw.

another punt, ick!
Fins only need 10 yards and they tie the game with a FG
September 16th, 2012 at 11:57 am
They stacked up on dmac last yr too.. its the zbs… it doesnt fit.. knapps o will force us to rebuild the o..
September 16th, 2012 at 11:57 am
Palmer is average, at best. He has misfired on so many passes.

LOL
The rollercoaster of emotions in here is pretty funny.
September 16th, 2012 at 12:01 pm
DMac’s inability to get the running game going is hurting our passing game. The net result is an O that is inconsistent.

September 16th, 2012 at 12:25 pm
Based on the first two games, here’s my eagerly anticipated (or something) projection on which assistants will be retained:
Stays: DA, Tarver and the entire defensive staff, except maybe for Lynn and Lopez (the DB coaches). Flip, Gilmore, Skipper and Hutson can stay as well. Saunders can stay, but he may want to retire.
Goes: Hoffman and Pollack. It’s hard to judge Knapp’s playcalling when the line isn’t opening holes and Carson’s under pressure all the time. Our STs have been terrible as well.
On Probation: Knapp. BIG TIME.

But hey with guys like Briesel, Pat Lee & Joselio Hansen to build around, we are good to go.

So you’re saying the Raiders should’ve found some way to trick the NFL into believing they were within the salary cap and sign some marquee players?
The team is rife with bad contracts and had no draft this season. That is a mess, regardless what you think.
==============
He cut a young prospect at CB for those 2…We could have re-negotiated Wimbley’s deal, instead of signing this dogsh!t guard. You should be more concerned about how worthless our 1 big FA signing is.

Hire some basketball dude that’s like 7 feet 230.
Send him into the end zone and throw it high where only he can reach it.
Interference or TD.
Would work everytime.

Weasel: Okay I know this is hard to understand, but when you’re down by 8 you can score and tie. Or you can whine and say”they already scored 21!” Ahhhhhhhh

September 16th, 2012 at 12:40 pm

Cant play,cant coach.Now what? HUH now what?
September 16th, 2012 at 12:49 pm
How can they expect to actually win games.Reggie blows
September 16th, 2012 at 12:59 pm
SAd day for Raider fans the season ends with a blow out loss to a rookie QB who picked apart a secondary who REggie put together. Its almost 2 games without a turnover, cant wait till the idiots in here who support Reggie blame this on the cap sitiuation or draft. WE WERE 8-8 last year..A New GM should take us to next level. REggie has killed DMAC career, has a bunch of sub standard WR running around and acts like Plaxico burress couldnt help us. Reggie deserves blame, no chance he gets fired but he deserves to face the tough questions on why this roster with a healthy DMAc is alot worse than last year.
September 16th, 2012 at 1:03 pm
how many years must we suffer through this bs? how many years of dmacs career will we waste with knapp and a system that doesnt fit him? what did we do so wrong as Raider Nation that we deserve this? Reggie please use our top 5 pick in 2013 on a CB. And sign some FAs that arent nickel corners and backup guards on a good nfl team. cant believe im paying dtv to watch this sh!t. Im a Raider til I die but i fear I’ll die before I see my boys become winners.
September 16th, 2012 at 4:18 pm
We can forget about Burress coming to Oakland. He is not McKenzies type of player. He wants clean cut underachieving, good citizen type players. Sort of like the head coach he hired. Not that Allen underachieved in Donkeyland but you know what I mean. Speaking of Allen.. He clearly was not ready for HC gig in the NFL.. He just fit McKenzies image of a HC. I felt Hue, despite his “swagger” deserved at least one more year. The players “played” for Hue.
