The Raiders oline is decent, I wouldn’t look too deep into this matchup. Also they were clogging the middle, dragging guys down, tripping, really trying to eliminate those passing lanes. Not saying we don’t need an upgrade on the dline, we do, but this isn’t the game I would use to measure it.
Did Mack look a step slower to anyone when compared to last week? He did to me. I know he had the ankle issue, I think he scores on that long run if healthy. I saw a couple USF games a few years ago and Mack looks like he did then. Fast through the hole and into the second level lightning quick. But his patience for that hole to open seems better also. That shoulder must have really bothered him last year.
Good thing next year’s draft is a defensive one. We are going to need all those picks.
