Final: Raiders 26, Jaguars 23, OT
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Sunday, October 21st, 2012 at 5:33 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Beat a hasty retreat downstairs before I got a chance to post this . . .
Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 40-yard field goal following a fumble recovery by Joselio Hanson as the Raiders escaped with a 26-23 overtime win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Oakland, 2-4, trailed 20-6 entering the third quarter and generally had itself to blame for the Jaguars being in position to win.
Jacksonville won the toss, got the first possession in overtime, and wide receiver Cecil Shorts III was stripped by Lamarr Houston on a short gain on third-and-21.
After quarterback Carson Palmer kneeled on the ball one time, Janikowski kicked the game winner to send the Jaguars to their fourth loss in five defeats.
Palmer had tied the game with a 1-yard run in the fourth quarter to cap a 58-yard drive.
It came after Oakland had considered sending the field goal team on the field with 3:53 remaining to cut Jacksonville’s lead to 23-19.
Oakland thought better of it, called time out _ it was their last time out and came back with a an end zone heave from Palmer to Darrius Heyward-Bey. He was fouled by Aaron Ross in the end zone, giving the Raiders the ball at the 1-yard line.
Following a Jacksonville penalty for too many men on the field, putting the ball at the half-yard line, Palmer snuck in for the score to tie the game 23-23.
It capped a 58-yard drive, with the big play an 18-yard strike to a leaping Streater on third-and-6 to 25-yard line.
The Raiders forced to punts before the end of regulation without letting Josh Scobee within field goal distance, punted once themselves, and took over at their own 12 with 29 seconds left.
Following a 13-yard run by Darren McFadden to the Raiders 31-yard line, Palmer spiked the ball with 11 seconds left and found Streater for a 23 yards to the 46-yard line. Sebastian Janikowski was short on a 64-yard field goal attempt as time expired.
The Raiders pulled within a score on a 31-yard field goal by Janikowski, with Oakland penalizing itself out of the red zone and settling for a field goal with 6:52 left in the fourth quarter.
After the Jaguars’ first score on an 80-yard drive _ and a 42-yard touchdown pass from Gabbert to Shorts on a blown coverage _ the Raiders essentially gift-wrapped the next 16 points, with Jacksonville needing only 33 net yards to get to 23 points.
A 5-yard Rashad Jennings run capped a 16-yard drive courtesy of a muffed punt on a fair catch by Phillip Adams.
A 50-yard field goal by Scobee resulted from a desperation back-handed attempt at a shovel pass while going down from Palmer, with Derek Cox getting the interception.
A 40-yard field goal by Scobee came on a 4-yard drive courtesy of a 28-yard punt return by Mike Spurlock, setting up a 17-yard drive to the Raiders 22.
Finally, a 45-yard field goal by Scobee resulted from a sack-fumble of Palmer, the Jaguars recovering at the Oakland 24.

Listen, okay. I can see both sides here.
A win is a win. Great that we won instead of lost! Dammmed great!
But, what I also see is that we were horrendous most of the game. And that the offensive (specifically the run game) needs to CHANGE SOMETHING – either the scheme or the person they’re handing the rock to. Because 2 yards per carry without a more creative passing game won’t get us wins.
October 21st, 2012 at 5:36 pm
Thank God! Only 2 more wins to get back to .500
Somehow I don’t think it will be that easy, though.

bad football
October 21st, 2012 at 5:37 pm
We won who cares if it was ugly or pretty … I know our O still needs to be better and we need better natural pass rush .. but those things can be achieved after a win too , so stop crying after we just won , makes some of you look like pathetic trolls
October 21st, 2012 at 5:37 pm
Love that what they wouldn’t do in the falcon game, they did in this game. like going for it on 4th down and trying a long FG.
October 21st, 2012 at 5:38 pm
People want Hue freakin Jackson back , the same guy who never made any adjustments in the 2nd half and we barely scored a couple of Fg’s in any game of 2nd half
October 21st, 2012 at 5:39 pm
A win is a win is a win! Go Raiders!
October 21st, 2012 at 5:39 pm
Keys to Winning:
1) Play Goodson More
2) Play DMac less
October 21st, 2012 at 5:40 pm
This is how it’s going to go.
Reggie-” Dennis, please come to my office, I need to talk to you about something.”
1 hour later….
Dennis – ” hey Knapp, can you come to my office for a chat?”
October 21st, 2012 at 5:40 pm
please stop the hue nonsense. it serves no purpose.

Could’ve been the Rams OC this year and then they would’ve beaten Green Bay! But, they interviewed him and said, you’re full of sh1t.

Ugly, yes. But how about coming back from getting their asses kicked in the first half. You know that thing they always say about learning how to win?

674, Hue Jackson is GONE man, he’s not coming back. I’m so tired of hearing ppl on here crying about this sh!t. It’s week 7 of the 2012 season. Dennis Allen is our head coach, I liked Hue but he wasnt the great coaching genius some make him out to be. I agree the offense was better under the power scheme from last year, but damn man stop crying and enjoy today’s victory. Sh!t it’s like a broken fcking record in here sometimes.

So glad to see Streater make the type of plays he made in the 2nd half.
Those are exactly the type of clutch TOUGH catches we need from our WRs.
Way to effin get open and make some damn plays man!!!!
October 21st, 2012 at 5:44 pm
I think we would have beat ass if we weren’t so stupid with the ball.

Got to do better for sure… how about not run at all , it’s just waste of plays at this moment.. i would rather try doing some gadget plays .. maybe bubble screens or that nice TE screen they run
October 21st, 2012 at 5:52 pm
It does really defeat the purpose of deferring the toss win you win it , if you go 3 and out when you start the 2nd half
October 21st, 2012 at 5:52 pm
the reason I bring up Huejax so much is becaused most of you pissed on him and look at our O now CP3 has to call his own plays to move the fckn ball. yall failed to realize Chuck B had a job to do and HE FAILED MONUMENTALLY and cost us 4 wins. and for all you that say Huejax was a HC and he was supposed to oversee the whole team (which is true) but I tell you what give that SB chucky won at TB to Dungy and MKiffin as their D was what did the job(you see what gruden did going forward FIRED) Give that SB Brian Billick won and give it to Marvin Lewis as HE made that team into champs with a record setting D. What happened to Billick? FIRED and what happen to Marvin Lewis? HC. Hue couldnt do it alone like the Greatest show on turf did (and even they had a lil D) but he did enough to warrant a second year.
October 21st, 2012 at 5:52 pm
for all the hue lovers, im not a knapp fan but i think losing our oline coaches is a bigger loss than losing hue.

Maverick, everybody in here agrees with you man. But it will chnage because it has to. But this defense buys you time for it to change. If we can shut teams down like we have the last 2 weeks this team is really on it’s way to bigtime. The only thing we’re missin g is DMC’s explosions……..that’s it. That is just a matter of the coaches acquiesing to the need is all. The Oline can be fixed and he’s off to the races………..period
October 21st, 2012 at 5:54 pm
JFB,earlier you made the statement that the officials bailed us out on the PI against DHB in the endzone.I don’t get what you are saying because that was obviously PI.The defender was tackling him and had his hand/arm around his head before the ball was even close to arriving.A no call would have been a travesty.

Yeah except we hired a GM for the first time and he wanted to go his own way… and stop crying about hue already.. Hue’s O never scored points in 2nd half of games… with Hue i guarantee we would have laid down after being down 2 scores coming outta half time
October 21st, 2012 at 5:54 pm
Yeah I think we can all agree on one thing, Knapp is a complete failure of an OC. Offense doesnt get going until we go no huddle. The 3 and out after halftime is getting much too predictable.
October 21st, 2012 at 5:55 pm

Yeah, but obviously he was playin for the Dolphins, I think any QB would kill us as long as they play for the Dolphins, not sure what it is but it pisses me off thinkin about it

================
I honestly don’t care about Hue being here. I would’ve preferred him staying, but ain’t crying about it.
What I do care about is that we hired Knapp who is a PROVEN low producer who came and changed what was working and made it a dysfunctional offense with some AMAZING weapons, and noone is actually trying to change anything to fix it. They’re just “staying the course” while it keeps not working week after week.
And we can see that DA’s idea of winning the games on defense with a ‘ball control offense’ (which was why he hired Knapp) isn’t working, and the offense which carried us the last 2 years to respectibility looks less than middle-of-the-pack and can’t get 3 yards per carry for the life of them.

He was talking about the PI on Jax O just before the end of the 4th … it wasn’t a hard mean push off against M Huff but the guy still got a leverage by pushing Huff away

You’re right – they change the offensive game plan, and get McFadden back to the races, and get creative with our offensive weapons we’re off to the races.
But, is Knapp going to do that? That’s my thing, and has been since the day he was hired, and I wish like hell I was wrong and each week I keep wishing someone would step in to change things up a bit to make that happen.
October 21st, 2012 at 5:58 pm
And is planning his return as fang whatever.
October 21st, 2012 at 5:58 pm
I have an idea! Keep talking about Hue Jackson. Maybe if we say his name enough he will come back and coach the Raiders to 8-8!

The whole performance of the O just comes down to how well our O-line is doing and our players adjusting to it … It’s not a co-incidence we did well last year because our O-Line was pretty good for the most part of last year and we started struggling once the O-line started playing bad late in the season.. i think this Oline start doing better along with DMAC making Adjustments , we should be fine

Not sure this group of offensive coaches (i.e. Knapp & Pollard) can fix the problem. They are the ones that created it and believe it is coming together with patience. We don’t have the luxury of patience and hopefully neither do they. Knapp is perpetual failure & has NEVER been a successful play caller for any team, anywhere, anytime. There’s nothing that I’ve seen or noted that would change that outlook. Pollard & Knapp have jointly destroyed what was a half way decent O-line.

October 21st, 2012 at 6:01 pm
Here is our problem with the O-Line:
1) We lost Satele
2) wiz is not a center
3) put Parsons at center and move Wiz to guard
4) play Goodson a little more

I havent gone anywhere as I stand for what I believe in and thats a team that beats an inferior team handily. even if MJD and Gabbert play the whole game their still inferior as they were 1-4 with them so its even worse that they were out and we struggled so mightily. but as I said enjoy the win if you wish I will move on to next week as imo this was just another crap showing in a long list of many over the past 10 years but you go ahead and keep settling.
October 21st, 2012 at 6:01 pm
A win is a win is a win.
But……. McFadden just ain’t gettin’ it done!!! BUT…. I don’t blame him, it’s the system.
How can he go from dynamic to dud in one year? It’s the ZBS. Period. He is not suited for it. If the coaching staff wants to get him loose they will go to a power blocking scheme.
Quit being so stubborn and do what’s right!!!!
October 21st, 2012 at 6:02 pm
Win!
October 21st, 2012 at 6:02 pm
If the defense can keep us in games things will open up late in games when teams get tired. That’s what you saw today. Our front7 is a beast…….pretty soon the offense will show itself……..trust me!

ditto, I’m not as disappointed in the scheme change as I am in who DA chose to run it. I’m on the fence about DA and Tarver, but Knapp is complete garbage.

Mc20-you are wasting your time.Alias and the 2 or 3 other guys doing all the complaining can’t stand it when the Raiders win and will do anything they can to rain on us fans being happy with a win.Their claim of tattoos and being nothing but a realist is nothing but a bunch of bu!!sh!t.

Thank you man.. I’m done feeding them but i love how they disappear when you point em out
—————–
I havent gone anywhere as I stand for what I believe in and thats a team that beats an inferior team handily. even if MJD and Gabbert play the whole game their still inferior as they were 1-4 with them so its even worse that they were out and we struggled so mightily. but as I said enjoy the win if you wish I will move on to next week as imo this was just another crap showing in a long list of many over the past 10 years but you go ahead and keep settling.

Well i hope we keep getting lucky like this rest of the year
October 21st, 2012 at 6:03 pm
I have an idea! Keep talking about Hue Jackson. Maybe if we say his name enough he will come back and coach the Raiders to 8-8!
——————————————————
Im over Huebert, but 8-8 sounds pretty good right now, not sure if you were tryin to make it sound like a bad thing
October 21st, 2012 at 6:04 pm
I will settle for these kinda wins all year long .. haters can keep hating
October 21st, 2012 at 6:04 pm
just curious when was the last time we were losing by 14 points in the second half and came back to win. that has to count for something ? right?

Exactly like i said after last week, when was the last time we went into a road game against a team as good as Falcons and in the eastern time zone and gave that team a scare? this team is learning how to win and getting better week by week

the reason I bring up Huejax so much is becaused most of you pissed on him and look at our O now CP3 has to call his own plays to move the fckn ball. yall failed to realize Chuck B had a job to do and HE FAILED MONUMENTALLY and cost us 4 wins. and for all you that say Huejax was a HC and he was supposed to oversee the whole team (which is true) but I tell you what give that SB chucky won at TB to Dungy and MKiffin as their D was what did the job(you see what gruden did going forward FIRED) Give that SB Brian Billick won and give it to Marvin Lewis as HE made that team into champs with a record setting D. What happened to Billick? FIRED and what happen to Marvin Lewis? HC. Hue couldnt do it alone like the Greatest show on turf did (and even they had a lil D) but he did enough
to warrant a second year.
—
Yeah except we hired a GM for the first time and he wanted to go his own way… and stop crying about hue already.. Hue’s O never scored points in 2nd half of games… with Hue i guarantee we would have laid down after being down 2 scores coming outta half time
—————-
so DA gets a pass AS A ROOKIE HC but Hue doesnt? at least Hues O scored at all and had us at 4-2, AND Hue had a lot more to deal with than DA like a lockout and losing his star players. Da has had every thing Hue didnt have and the return investment is 2-4 with Hue 4-2. but hue gets no pass for being a rookie HC right? you guy are wayyyy off on this one.

Yeah I suppose, but you have to consider it was against the worst team in the NFL that lost there starting QB and RB in the 1st half.
I actually think last weeks performance was way better than this weeks even though we didn’t win that game, but at the same time all that matters is the W, know ones going to remember how we got lucky beating the Jags and had some tough breaks in a loss against the Falcons

It counts for EVERYTHING! It’s all about learning to win. That was said in an earlier post as well. There are TWO teams w winning records in the AFC at the start of the day (a few more now). But it’s pretty obvious there is a lot of parity in this league. So it would follow that the talent level from team to team is somewhat equal. It’s all about execution and coaching. Period. And I’m not saying we don’t have issues with both of those. We r lacking on both pretty severely actually. I’m a knapp hater too, but we have a young coaching staff and new schemes and young players.
We just might be learning how to win, at home at least. If we can do the same at KC, Idc how ugly it is, we just might have something. Maybe…….
October 21st, 2012 at 6:15 pm
They did not give up, ever. That was something right there. Kept expecting them to and the ‘D’ came right back out and said ‘uh, uh’.

we are a game out of first place, with 2 winnable games in front of us. we were down 14 points and came back to win. some of you act like we are 2-6. i think DA and the players deserve at least another week or 2 to prove themselves. i am a realist . we dont have playmakers on either side of the ball right now and our oline is a mess. But maybe DA will see the hurry up gives us a chance. our D is starting to play well. We have enough to win the next 2 games and be 4-4 which may be a first place tie? this game was so frustrating but seriously , im struggling to remember us winning a game when we were down 14 in the second half.. its not time to mail the season in yet imo

October 21st, 2012 at 6:24 pm
our OL is a mess because of zone blocking
dmc is is a joke of a RB in a ZBS
these are obvious must fixes at this point.
even if they manage a 7-9 record this year, i’d rather they have a top 5 pick in the draft with a worse record to tell you the truth. sounds lame, but they’re not winning anything this year anyway… and they need a staple in the front seven. perhaps that LB from ND?

it’s not going to happen this year. not without a running game. they can’t really get it going. teams key in on the one good RB we have. it’s just hard to see them coming back against someone like the Bucs or Saints … then down the line against their division…
they desperately need a pass rush, which doesn’t seem too fixable at this juncture.

What no one cares to realize is the potential a Win like this can do for a struggling team. The facts are we played with a greater sense of urgency on both sides of the ball in the 4th Qtr, when it mattered.

I dont want to hear any crap about a “win being a win”.
We still tried to lose that game.
That game didnt feel like a win. Just barely better than a loss.
All I can say is, build on it. Beat KC and we are just a game away from .500 and just a game away from a 3 game win streak.
After a 3 game win streak, anything is possible.
But our O-Line has to pull their heads out of there a55es. Meyers cant block. Briesel sucks. Palmer keeps getting killed. Veldheer is unrecognizable. Just plain pathetic.
I’ll watch next week. But only half heartedly like I did this week. This team is consistently inconsistent and it is beyond frustrating. It’s not scheme, its not playcalling, its not coaching. It’s execution. Im tired of watching guys drop balls that I would catch. Counting the preseason, I think we’ve dropped 6 TDs in the endzone to date. Just pathetic.

almost exactly what i said above as well …
Mingo from LSU would be the man to do it for this team. the guy is an ANIMAL and fits way more than anybody currently does in a 4-3
that’s just worst case scenario though. i doubt the raiders will have less than 6 or 7 wins this year. we may have to be 3-13 or 2-14 to get Mingo.

True, but I’d be feeling a lot better about next week’s game. Right now all we can say is we beat the possibly worst team in the NFL. I think we need to be better than that. We should be better than that but, we are not. Why not? We are supposed to be getting better each week. Can you honestly say that is happening? I can’t.

I’m hoping the coaching staff won’t see it that way.
They’ll dissect this and know it’s not acceptable and be happy we escaped…but at the same time make some “adjustments”.
They’re not total idiots. Are they?

I’m frustrated as heck… But happy too. As mad as that game made me, I couldn’t help but jump up and raise my fists sky high when the fg sailed through.
I don’t see how some of you can be a true fan and honestly be okay with going out and losing for a draft pick. Even in our worst years, that final game of the season, I wanted one thing: A win.

Pathetic showing.
I dont want to hear any crap about a “win being a win”.
We still tried to lose that game.
That game didnt feel like a win. Just barely better than a loss.
All I can say is, build on it. Beat KC and we are just a game away from .500 and just a game away from a 3 game win streak.
After a 3 game win streak, anything is possible.
But our O-Line has to pull their heads out of there a55es. Meyers cant block. Briesel sucks. Palmer keeps getting killed. Veldheer is unrecognizable. Just plain pathetic.
I’ll watch next week. But only half heartedly like I did this week. This team is consistently inconsistent and it is beyond frustrating. It’s not scheme, its not playcalling, its not coaching. It’s execution. Im tired of watching guys drop balls that I would catch. Counting the preseason, I think we’ve dropped 6 TDs in the endzone to date. Just pathetic.
—————–
we wont be overconfident going into KC , which we might have been with a blowout. this was the biggest comeback win in a long time. thats a good sign..
October 21st, 2012 at 6:45 pm
Moore almost cost us the game by not getting that first down, though. Any other team would but the Jags would have got in field goal range after that.

Getting Diss’d by the supposed weakest team in the league tells you something about what others really think about the 2012 Raiders.
Playing like we did against the supposed weakest team in the league, especially without their starting QB & RB brings into question who is really the weakest team in the league.
We certainly were not the weakest when I last checked but we are certainly giving indications that we could be with little extra effort. That does not speak well for our coaching staff. DA better step-up & take care of business within his own group of coaches. We all know where the problem(s) lie(s). The question is whether or not DA has the sack to do something about it sooner than later.

It’s frustrating as heck to me that our best, most explosive player, is being limited by crappy o-line play and an inept offensive coordinator.
How long can we try to get past the shortcomings of Knapp? Will the system just “magically” click one week. Man, I pray it does.

Sullivan, I have your dose of lithium sitting right next to your sponge bob pajamas, so when ever you’re ready, please make your way out of the basement

Oh shut up Mcfadden20. You are getting all excited because the raiders BARELY beat the worst team in the NFL with the starting QB and RB out.

Why the loss to the Panthers?They suck.Ravens are decimated by injuries.Denver and SD are division games and are unpredictable.Those are all winnable games.

Run D is legit, Pass D is holding up with back up Cb’s, and will get both starting Cb’s back pretty soon, pass rush is getting better … O-line will only get better with more experience .. i see a lot of wins rest of the way

Sullivan has admitted for all times that he is NOT a Raider fan. He is a 49er fan that only comes here because the Niners blog is not anywhere near as interesting as the Raiders blog.
He talks trash about our team for 59:59sec, until we win, then he slithers away like a slug with salt poured on it.
He is a complete worthless piece of excrement.

Hope Barnes is back soon. Spencer too.
October 21st, 2012 at 7:13 pm
I don’t like it but I’m kind if glad they won this way and not a blowout. I could see them going into KC over confident. Instead this us a reality check and a slap in the face.
October 21st, 2012 at 7:14 pm
666-the reason they were down a starting RB and QB was we knocked them out of the game

Good point!

It’s not easy having a 36 year old son with a multitude of personalities. The other day he was yelling at me like John Harbaugh, about how great the 49ers are, whilst wearing a Raider hat. It breaks my heart! He disappeared after tonight’s win and the lithium, along with his nicely pressed Sponge Bob Pj’s await him.

Reggie’s homeruns:
Burris 5th round draft pick
Streater UDFA
Wheeler FA veteran signing which has turned the Linebacker corp and WR corp into solid, productive units for the Raiders.

Wish in one hand & schit in the other. You know which will fill first.
You know what we all know. The question is how long will it take for DA to act on the obvious. If he waits too long & really loses the team & fans, he may be cutting his own throat by doing nothing. If he’s going to be the leader, then lead. Otherwise get the hell out of the way and let someone else lead.
——————————————————-
I hear you. But can we feasibly make that change in the middle of the season and change our entire offensive scheme from ZBS to power blocking?
October 21st, 2012 at 7:17 pm
HuJack is history. He’s no longer here and not likely to make his way back. He did some really good things and a few blunders too. That’s all over. Move on. We have rwal problems on this team to deal with & interjecting HuJack into the discussion is fruitless.
There’s a saying that no matter what color you paint a turd, it’s still a turd. We got a couple or three turds now on staff. They are bringing us down badly. How do we get rid of them? It’s time to flush these losers and become the team we need to be. If we wait too long all we get is a ring around the bowl & that’s not the ring we are looking for.

burris very good pick, wheeler is good but does miss some tackles, way too early to lable streater as anything. 2 catches dont make you a starting nfl wr. i did think he displayed some excellent potential though..well see

Your son was trying so hard to save face on this blog and keep you a secret. And then… Today happened.
You might need to tuck him in tonight.

The difference between 2011 and 2012 is coaching and scheming, plain and simple.
Most of the starters return and those who left did it because we didn’t want them, so starting personnel and key players remain basically the same and any changes were made because of our coaching staff and GM decided so.
So, we sit at 2-4 after 6 games when we were 4-2 last year with the following averages:
2011 Offense 25.6 ppg-Defense 25 ppg.
2012 Offense 18.8 ppg. -Defense 28.5 ppg.
That’s a huge downgrade, you can nitpick stats and try and spin it in many ways, but that’s the bottom line, we got worst.
This 2012 team looks in disarray, if Hue was coaching it, everyone would be blaming him for such a bad on-field product, the double standard here is beyond ridiculous.
Failure to execute comes from practice and Coaches run practice, teaching and making your players better is also a huge part of coaching.
October 21st, 2012 at 7:21 pm
wow..and i thought a HC actually took responsibility for entire team. Hue had authority to trade for palmer but no authority to replace chuck b or get involved in the D game plan? cmon…if Hue doesnt get a HC job next year will you finally give in? I mean if hes such a hot commodity someone would recognize his genius beside you?
————
well give chuckies SB To Dungy and MKiffin and give Bill Billick SB to Marvin Lewis but wait… Chucky and Billick oversaw the WHOLE TEAM well both of those guys got fired shortly after the SB THEY SAW OVER and Dungy went on to get another an Marvin Lewis Has Brought the Bengals up to respectability. Hue wasnt the problem smart guy.
October 21st, 2012 at 7:30 pm
Huff has vastly improved at cornerback.
Houston’s best game today.
Moore proved he’s Raiders’ most productive player.
Reece incorporated into the offence finally.
October 21st, 2012 at 7:35 pm
Dungy went on to get another what, super bowl championship?
Indy was his first, if your logic OS correct, then Gruden’s tram also went to the super bowl our Raiders that is was Gruden’s not Callehans’ he proved that the following year.

So far it looks like our Defense has gotten the memo–Our offense however, looks just as bad, if not worse than ever. The biggest problem from what I see is the lack of imagination and creativity on the offensive side of the ball. DMAC is NOT seeing the holes as they open, or present themselves, and our Line is not keeping Palmer upright. Getting Palmer pounded on the regular and DMC just playing absolutely horrible are what is holding this team back right now—Knapp calls the most conservative game plan in the league and it just gets completely stuffed till we are so far behind that Knapp just says “F’It” and bypasses himself in order to let Carson run the no Huddle and call his own plays based on what he is seeing, not what Knapp “THINKS” he is seeing…
This Knapp dude has got to go–if he can’t get Goodson or Taiwan, or even T.P some carries in this ‘Vaunted’ offensive juggernaught of a scheme then he needs to be run out of town..Get your playmakers in a position to make plays…Stringing out DMAC to the sidelines time after time after time is an exercise in futility. You don’t think we should try and ISO him on a backer from the slot, or Taiwan 1:1 on a slot corner or crappy OLB from time to time. Come on man! Where is the game planning??
