According to a source with the Raiders, the staff tried to start rookie guard Caleb Rogers initially but in practice but he struggled. Charles Grant is still too raw as of right now to play.

This needed to be posted in Blue Sky as well

Coach Beam’s legacy (Highly suggest watching Last Chance U season 5, episode 5)

Opposing QBs vs. the Bears on third down: 63.0 passer rating (3rd) 5 INTs (2nd) "D.A.'s a mastermind." "He thinks outside the box." "You can’t really get a bead on front and coverage." Inside what's working on third down, with video analysis from @tednguyen.bsky.social

“He’s so good some team without an offensive line is going to draft him.” @tednguyen.bsky.social on Jeremiyah Love

Does the most explosive passing game need another piece? With an inconsistent running game, getting JSN the perfect compliment to his game in Rashid Shaheed is ensuring they have answers for a playoff run. w/ @mikedugar.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/678...

One of the major differences from being a college OC and NFL OC is how much protection has to be the forefront and how robust your protection scheme has to be

Jerry Jones:

♦️ Just put Kyle Hamilton wherever your defense is weakest and it becomes a strength like magic ♦️ How the Steelers defense stopped the Colts ♦️ The Seahawks passing game is the most explosive since the Greatest Show on Turf. How do you stop it?

Top 10 teams in early play action rate. Cheat code for offensive production. (Jaguars would be a much better offense if their WRs could catch)

The Steelers have by far the most expensive defensive roster but they are a bottom 10 unit in several metrics. It’s not just players playing poorly. They are predictable and it’s simply way easy to make them unravel.

Textbook rep of pin-and-pull. Both pullers get underneath the TE and Jonathan Taylor can’t be stopped at full speed.

🚨 New State of the Nation 🚨 @MNewhouse73 looked at some numbers that the Raiders have to examine during their bye week self scouting Also what the Raiders need to accomplish on their bye week checklist www.youtube.com/watch?v=POz5...

Hell of a route by Alec Pierce. Sold the vertical and stomped on the brakes.

Loved how Shanahan went from a zone to gap scheme but told a story with their formations and motion rather than just bang their heads against a wall

The 49ers coaching staff is doing the best job in the league and completely outclassed the Falcon’s Did we actually learn anything about Bo Nix this week? Not really Ben Johnson continues to put his stamp on the Bears

Another good run game design by Ben Johnson. Imagine just running plays without pre-snap movement.

I know they don’t really need it but Rashid Shaheed on this SEA team would be insane

Nick Emmanwori couldn’t have gone to a better coach to develop him. High upside player with a low floor too but he’s developing into a playmaker quickly.

Sheeesh JKS with a dot on third down with a free rusher in his face. Barely got the ball past the defender.

Wrote about the top 5 free agent signings that changed the defenses that they were thrown into

Excuse me, Daniel Jones

Ben Johnson saw how the Commanders wanted to defend the Bears on third-and-medium and dialed up a beauty when they needed a big play

The Eagles are winning but their offense isn’t playing well (21st in success rate) and they can’t get the ball to AJ Brown. Sound familiar? Can they get it right this year or is this offense fated for a 2023 finish? www.nytimes.com/athletic/668...

New Just Win Podcast with @tednguyen.bsky.social Raiders look to bounce back vs Indianapolis, keep Ashton Jeanty rolling, and play a complimentary team game. Available on Spotify, Apple, and YT youtu.be/Q7Kt19tEoCc?...

The Chiefs had one of their best pass blocking games in a long time. Mahomes had the lowest pressure rate (18.8%) in a game in which he averaged more than 2.5 seconds time to throw since 2021. Wrote about the Chiefs, Falcons, and Giants offensive adjustments.

Daniel Jones is playing the best he has because he has a clear mind Wrote about how Shane Steichen keeps the picture clean for him and why Tyler Warren is essential in that process as well Teamed up with James Boyd www.nytimes.com/athletic/664...

“It can be tough to see through the negative vibes … but Williams’ development as a quarterback who can operate Ben Johnson’s offense will take time and patience. Week 2 was a clear step in the right direction.” Film breakdown from @tednguyen.bsky.social

Some news! I’ll be joining @tednguyen.bsky.social cohosting the Just Win Podcast talking and breaking down Raiders and the NFL. You can find the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and a dedicated YouTube channel twice week following Sundays games and midweek!

Thrilled to announce that former Raider tackle Marshall Newhouse is going to cohost the Just Win Pod with me! Not only can Marshall talk trenches, he combines film and analytics in his analysis, and offers unique overall ball knowledge

Fucking insane the Eagles got Jihaad and found a way to activate Baun last year that no one saw coming. Not too many weak links on that Eagles roster.

Zach Baun and Jihaad Campbell make up one of the most interesting linebacker duos in the league. Brooks Kupena and I looked at how Fangio used both. Quotes from Fangio and both players included.

Jeff Hafley is one of the better play designers in the league. Love this disguise on third down to trick Goff into a pick.

One defensive coordinator had his team prepared for the situation and one didn’t

Who are the top play callers in the NFL? I asked their nemesis around the league (defensive coordinators and assistants) to rank them and talk about what makes them so difficult to play.

Jaxson Dart finished the preseason with another strong game. Have to love how quickly he’s developing if you’re a Giants fan. youtu.be/l7rkwuT_ilU?...

The Eagles might have found another player with a familiar name. Jeremiah Trotter Jr. looks like a dude

Really nice drive by Caleb Williams. Everything was in rhythm. Hit the last step of his drop and ball was out.

The funniest thing about the Anthony Richardson/ Daniel Jones debate is that Daniel Jones is being painted as a stabilizing presence under center

Cam Ward layering the ball over the flat defender

Laki Tasi, a converted rugby player, looks like someone worth developing. He looks tentative but he’s still physically overwhelming and sets a firm pocket. Didn’t give up any real estate in protection. Moves really well for someone listed at 373 pounds.
