Oakland Raiders – Performances of Note
Justin Tuck, DE: -2.6 and Antonio Smith, DE: -3.5
Breakdown: Given how well the Texans’ offensive line played, there had to be someone on the opposite end of it, and the main culprits were free agent defensive ends Justin Tuck and Antonio Smith. They were constantly sealed out of the action throughout the day with Tuck straight blown off the ball a couple of times.
Signature Plays: Two plays stand out for Tuck, the first wasn’t even a positive play for the offense, but while his teammates were busy stopping Foster for no gain on a goal line run early in the first quarter, Tuck found himself about four yards deep in the end zone. The aforementioned mauling at the hands of Ryan Griffin is another play that stuck out.
Miles Burris, ILB: -5.8
Breakdown: We’re often big proponents of pointing out the lying nature of tackle stats, but in this case, Burris finishing with two solo tackles while the starting safeties finished with 22 is a pretty good indicator of what happened in the game. Last week, Burris did a nice job working downhill in the running game, but against Houston he was dominated at the second level and was kept away from the point of attack throughout the afternoon.
Signature Stat: Foster ran right by Burris on his 41-yard gain in the first quarter as Oakland’s fill-in linebacker was unable to shed the block from left guard Ben Jones.
Khalil Mack, OLB: +4.4
Breakdown: One of the lone bright spots on the Oakland defense, Mack showed well in all aspects of the game, grading at +2.2 against the run, +1.5 as a pass rusher, and +0.5 in coverage. He had a couple of impressive pass rushes against left tackle Duane Brown and he was constantly making plays around the line of scrimmage in the running game.
Signature Stats: Mack picked up a hit, hurry, and a batted pass on 18 pass rushes and he added four stops in the running game, tied for the league lead this week among 3-4 outside linebackers.
As you can tell Burris is :x Roach really needs to comeback.

Sad to say, after 2 weeks there isn't a team that has shown less improvement than us.

Vincent Brown - WR - Raiders
Raiders signed WR Vincent Brown to a one-year contract.
It's a sign the Raiders expect de facto No. 1 receiver Rod Streater (hip flexor) to miss time. A 2011 third-round pick of the Chargers, Brown appeared to have a bright future ahead of him before breaking his ankle in 2012. He wasn't the same in 2013, and couldn't survive final cuts this summer. Brown moved like a tight end last season, which is a problem since he's 5-foot-11, 190 pounds. He's an inoffensive flier for a team as talent-deficient as the Raiders to take, but he's not going to make an impact on the football field.

What difference would it make if he was play calling at this point? I'd guess not much.

What does play calling have to do with being out of position to make plays and missing tackles when you actually are.

My bad I meant more along the lines of being completely taken out of the play by the guy you're lined up against. The effort is just unacceptable.

Yup effort is lacking which I think has to do with lack of motivation which falls on the coach. Allen jus doesn't have it. No emotion on the sideline so I can't see that he shows emotion, whether it be good or bad, in the locker room. That's why I liked Cable. Hue as well...
