DA: well we gotta look at the tape

Does DA have to look at the tape to remind him how we got our azzes handed to us by a weak-azz offense? Give me a fu**in break!

Romonowski: “someone has to make a play!”
Spoken from a play-maker! ZBS,blocking, playcalling, 3-4 vs. 4-3, we need some fu**in NFL football players making fu**in plays! We need some coaches who know their sh*t and light some fire under some azzes! Coming in from Albuquerque this Sunday and don’t want to see a Raider quit after the 1st half!

palmer struggled mightily in hu jacks explosive vertical offense,
=======================================

Huh? No he didn’t.
================

9 starts 16 picks = severe struggles
============================================

3 of those picks came in one game where he was not supposed to go in. If you take the last 8 games of the season Palmer was 5th in completion percentage, 6th in yards, 6th in TD’s and 4th in yards per attempt. That doesn’t sound like he was struggling to me.
===================

even if you magically wipe out the first game he played he was still a dismal 13 picks in 9 starts

struggling mightily

Raider8ray great stat about McFadden contact .7 yards downfield, that is blocking and scheme. Research would have shown that these Raiders aren’t ZBS guys, that goes counter culture, it is plain not Raider like for 300 lb guys to dive at legs and knees. I think the whole scheme is based on backside defenders being scared to suffer career ending knee injuries so they give up huge lanes if the run side defenders aggressively pursue the ball carrier. Teams are disciplined enough for run side defenders to get to their points while backside guys wait for the dive block and close off the running lanes. McFadden does not cut like that and may suffer his own knee injury trying to cut back and not seeing the pursuing defender

I felt the same way about the Knapp hiring as I did last year about the Bresnahan hiring, that empty gut are you serious feeling. I don’t like anything about his offense. Yes the players need to execute better and be accountable. Yes there is not a whole lot of depth on the team. I still think his schemes and playcalling suck. Reggie and DA are going to try to bring stability to the org, so I don’t believe they will blow him out of here anytime soon.

I am not a fan of Knapp but we made our bed and we are going to have to sleep with it. Firing people after two games is not a good way to build a franchise. Who would take the job with that kind of security.

—————————–

Finally some logic and perspective. The Donks came out of the Detroit game last year 1-4 and went on their run. Let’s see how DA, Knapp, and Tarver make adjustments……

Knapp: “Let’s keep things in perspective. We’ve had two different centers. We need some patience. You can’t develop a scheme in 2 weeks.”
““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““““`
Perspective? Patience?

Look here you clueless imbecile. We want to see TOUCHDOWNS! Ya dimwitted fool…

To say Knapp is about as smart as a sack of cement, would be an insult… To the sack of cement…..
