H2o Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Prior to this game we got gashed the last two weeks by lesser RB's than Josh Jacobs. RB's like Brieda(MIA), Myles Gaskin(MIA), and Darrell Henderson(LAR) made us look like a JV squad out there. Yesterday the Raiders' rushing attack had 23 carries for 86 yards in total for a 3.7 ypc clip. Jacobs himself had 15 carries for 48 yards at a 3.2 ypc average. It was a quality outing against one of the better RB's in the league. It was nice to see considering we were coming off of giving up almost 170 yards to the Rams on a 5.2 ypc average and 100 yards to the Dolphins on a 4.5 ypc average.

JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 They switched up the DT rotation. It made a world of difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da webster guy Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Whatever they did it helped. McD calling the D in second half maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoofHearted Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Also the reason why the pass rush wasn't there. Buffalo usually allows their DL to penetrate on any given down. There was a more concerted effort, from what i saw, to keep those guys home this week in order to prevent gaps from widening. I think it came at a cost though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFlutie Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Can we please not start any threads this year with the words "another positive?" I almost had a heart attack. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, things went better for our Defense in the second half! Most likely a McD intervention! Edited October 5, 2020 by TAinLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would also explain why our pass rushers were getting more heat on Carr at the end, during the obvious passing portion of the game. unlike the Rams D-backle, our D started winning the arm wrestle as the game wore down. That was good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 If we can stay on this course with run defense, we're close to being in top form. Offenses will slow down as the season progresses too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
