Raiders Skins POST GAME

[WillH]

Alright so here's the play I was talking about. I'm not sure if this was a designed play or a great decision by Mack.

After the handoff he's approaching the line, but there's nothing there.


So he bounces it to the outside, so was it the play call or a good cut? I honestly think it was designed based on the way Davis is blocking on the edge, but regardless, he sells the inside run well and bounces out to open field.



And just look at all that room, it looks like this could be a break away play, but which way to go? From this angle it looks like he has a defender in the middle and if he follows his block maybe he can get by him to the outside. But look at the other angle


Looks like a beautiful lane to the inside, but . . .


Instead he kind of awkwardly hides behind his blocker until he is surrounded. While I appreciate him trying to follow his blocks, he needs to set his cut off of the block and try to break this open.

That said, watching the play in motion, I don't know that either choice would have been the better one. If he cut inside he'd still have to break a tackle or some ankles, and maybe he can't .

Overall he actually had some good looking plays, they didn't gain as much, but he made some nice cuts. More to come ...
