Mariota


Derek Carr stats as of right now:


Passing Yards: 1st


Passing Attempts: 4th


Passing TD's: 12th


Passing TD percentage: Carr Ranks bottom 5 with at least 11 QB starts

All we do is pass, but can't score td's. That's why our defense chokes late in games. When all you do is pass, but don't score you give the ball back and never let your defense rest.

That's why I want the Raiders to run more, but with Mariota on the field, RPO's, play-action and designed roll-outs. Carr sucks at all those things, but Mariota is elite at those things. Put him in coach!

Raiders throw way more than run, Carr has to push the ball down field to open up the run game.

If Carr is off, the defense suffers. Running the ball is all about time of possession. Give the defense rest, keep them off the field. Time of possession is a key to victory

Raiders had more time of possession in 5 out of their 6 wins this season. Only game they didn't was the broncos game, but that's because the defense forced 4 turnovers in that game.

You have to be able to run and keep possession of the ball. The other teams offense can't score on the sidelines.
