A lopsided loss to the Los Angeles Chargers looked like a step back Youth Nasir Adderley Jersey , even if coach Jon Gruden tried to put a positive spin on the game Monday."I think there's a lot of good things, honestly, that happened yesterday," Gruden said about the 26-10 loss before ticking off a list of problems. "The scoreboard was lousy, the field positon was bad, we gave up some big plays that was not good. Terrible interception in the red zone. There's some negative things that are still resonating with me and Raider Nation."Gruden then went on to praise the play of eight rookies, including tackle Brandon Parker and defensive tackle P.J. Hall, fill-in left guard Jon Feliciano, and some good plays made by Derek Carr outside of a costly interception on first-and-goal from the 1."I'm going to continue to emphasize the good and do everything I can to fix the things that are bad, because most of the things that are bad, my fingerprints are all over," Gruden said.It was not easy to sugarcoat this game, which marked the first time all season the Raiders (1-4) never held a lead. The pass rush generated little pressure Cheap Nasir Adderley Jersey , the defense created no turnovers, special teams provided no short fields, and Carr threw an interception at the worst time possible.With the Raiders trailing 20-3 and looking to mount a comeback late in the third quarter, Oakland had the ball first-and-goal from the Los Angeles 1. Despite the presence of powerful back Marshawn Lynch, Gruden opted to call for a play-action pass on first down.When no one broke open immediately, Carr held onto the ball before trying to force it to Derek Carrier in the end zone instead of throwing the ball away. Melvin Ingram was right there for an interception, marking the second time this season the decision to use Lynch as a decoy at the goal line backfired.Fullback Keith Smith was stopped on a fourth-down run from the 1 in a 20-19 loss at Denver last month. And of course, Lynch is still smarting from another goal-line interception that cost him a Super Bowl title in Seattle back in the 2014 season.Lynch tossed his helmet up in frustration as he left the field and didn't play the rest of the day as the Raiders were in their hurry-up offense for their only remaining drive.Gruden said he threw his visor and helmet in anger as well, and that frustration was something he had in common with Lynch. He still stood by the play call even if the execution didn't work."We were down 20-3. It wasn't the last play of the Super Bowl. We were down 20-3," he said. "It was first-and-goal, trying to save as much time as we can with a play-action pass."The Raiders have little time to dwell on this loss with a trip to London coming up this week to face the Seahawks. Rather than request an East Coast game before the long trip and either practice there or in London for the week, the Raiders opted to stay at home for most of this week.They will practice Tuesday through Thursday at their facility in the Bay Area before taking the long trip to London on Thursday night. They will arrive Friday afternoon and then get ready for the game Sunday night."I hope I can make it, honestly White Nasir Adderley Jersey ," Gruden said. "I'm not great. I get claustrophobic. My son was a weightlifter and he won a powerlifting competition in Belarus. I had to fly 14 hours. I had to fly home 14 hours. I had vertigo for a month. I couldn't even lay down, the house was spinning. I am hoping I don't get vertigo. I'm not a great traveler. I'll be honest with you, I hate it. I'm not good. I'm concerned. I'm more worried about that than our goal-line offense right now."

Philip Rivers is 37-years-old, but he did have one of the best seasons of his career in 2018. The Chargers also finished with 12 wins before bowing to the Patriots in Divisional Round; if they want to build off last season’s success, it might make more sense to use their first-rounder on a player who could contribute right away.Picking the Los Angeles Chargers dream draft target in Round 1 - Gavino BorquezMurphy was named first-team All-American by Pro Football Focus, and was also first-team All-Pac-12 and an AP second-team All-American. In 20 games for the Huskies, Murphy had six interceptions and 20 passes defensed. He returned one of his picks for a touchdown.Los Angeles Chargers owners: Just accountants, or accountable? - Dennis J. HassellFandom is rife with delusions: one myth is that we fans are part of the game, we belong to the team, the team belongs to us, and somehow our support affects outcomes. Another common belief is that there are invisible bonds between owners and fans and players. Fans believe that it’s apure game. But the game should be called Monopoly.Los Angeles Chargers: Happy trails Nasir Adderley Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys , Kyle Emanuel - Travis WakemanEmanuel’s career stats don’t jump off the page. He had 147 combined tackles, four sacks, two interceptions, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 63 games. But it was the determination he played with, which began in the small town of Schuyler, that shaped him into the player he was.Chargers prospect profile: Washington OT Kaleb McGary - Tyler SchoonThere’s a bit of a nasty to his game, something any coach loves to find in offensive lineman. He’s a finisher, and loves to punish defenders when given the opportunity. He’s plug-and-play as a run blocker and would do wonders for Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler, and Justin Jackson.Social Media Information:BFTB Facebook Page: Click here to like our pageBFTB Twitter: Follow @BFTB_ChargersThe Lightning Round Twitter: Follow @Lightning_RoundThe Lightning Round Facebook: Click here to like our pageBFTB Manager: Richard Wade: Follow @RichardWade « Überprüfung von Path of Exile-Teil IIIt’s been a fun year guys. » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
