Episode notes
Offensive Line Emerged As The Key Unit
- The Raiders' offensive line began slow but later opened holes and created momentum for Ashton Gentry.
- Geno Smith praised the line and the unit looks likely to be Miller, Parham, Meredith, JPJ, and Glaze if healthy.
Don't Let One Drop Become A Pattern
- Avoid letting one drop snowball into multiple mistakes; receivers must clear errors quickly and regain trust with the quarterback.
- Quarterbacks should support and keep targeting receivers to rebuild confidence, as Geno did with Trey Tucker.
Aggressive Defense Exposed Communication Gaps
- Patrick Graham's defense attacked downhill and linebackers aggressively pursued, which left the middle of the field vulnerable on crossing and misdirection.
- The bigger issue was poor communication and lack of clean pass-offs against 49ers' crossing routes.
