Good read.
Point one is the most important · Quoting Chris Kouffman: Some more thoughts on the Dolphins game yesterday with SOME of the film review in the can:
- Miami needs to figure out how to prevent rookie CB Chris Johnson being singly targeted on over a THIRD of all pass plays, because that's what happened. Cousins ran the entire passing attack thru a rookie who was asked to play both inside and outside, with hardly any personnel-mixing to give the Raiders an extra layer of complexity. The problem is they didn't feel Kyle Louis was ready for this game, so they only played him 3 snaps, and he injured his knee on one of those 3 snaps. Figuring this out and not getting the rookie's confidence in the toilet should be top priority.
- From a defensive standpoint the Dolphins will throw away the first 5 drives, where they allowed the better part of 50 yards per drive and 6 yards per play to go along with the 24 points, and try and build on the second 5 drives, where they allowed…

He played in over 94% of defensive snaps in each of the last 4 seasons. 6 of those missed plays came at the start of the third defensive drive, in which Miami drove down the field before Crosby drew a holding penalty on his first play back that helped force a field goal. He then missed the 2 plays of Miami's second drive of the 2nd half where Malik Willis threw his interception. He was then off the field for the Dolphins first 2 offensive plays of the 4th quarter.

- Caleb Rogers played the whole game at RG, and no changes elsewhere. Klint Kubiak said they'll "watch the film and see where we're at" when deciding if Rogers starting is permanent.

- Oct 19 Ryan McFadden (X) Looking back at some numbers from #Raiders loss to #Bills yesterday, DE Maxx Crosby was chipped or doubled teamed 16 times -- the highest rate that he has faced this season, per @NextGenStats. Buffalo chipped him 10 times, second-most behind the Saints (11).
- Oct 19 Sam Warren (X) The entire right side of the Bills OL making sure Maxx Crosby couldn't knife through the backside on the big James Cook catch and run in the fourth quarter. · Quoting Sam Warren: Maxx Crosby might have had 2 or 3 true 1on1s in his 34 pass rushes against the Bills. Got chipped and slid to a bunch on both sides. And when it looked like he'd have a straight rush, Buffalo would have an IOL assigned to him ready to help on an inside move. Raiders don't have an interior threat capable of drawing attention away from Crosby, especially with Tonka Hemingway out. Maxx is still effective (5 pressures), but takes a lot longer when going through multiple bodies. Raiders' 3.21 seconds average time to pressure against Bills was their slowest of the season.

- Giants defensive snap counts vs. Texans: • It's so important to hit on a few mid-level free agent signings every offseason. The Giants certainly did with DJ Reader. His two-year, $12 million contract looks like an absolute bargain. Bobby Jamison-Travis has ditched the redshirt and might already be the second-best run-stopper on the D-line. His emergence allowed the Giants to use Darius Alexander almost exclusively in passing situations, which masks his deficiencies against the run. If there's a position I had to predict a trade, it's defensive tackle. This group is getting by, but could really use a solid piece to complement Reader. And I'd expect Dean Lowry to be a practice squad elevation before long. • Abdul Carter is a machine. He was back to playing nearly ever snap after being on a pitch count last week due to a calf injury. On the Texans' game-tying drive late in regulation every member of the D-line was on a knee catching their breath during a timeout and Carter was…

- Going into this game I wondered how the edge rusher split would look from the Raiders. The tendency last week was for the Saints sent a ton of help to Asim Richards side when he was matched up with Trey Hendrickson, and they let him iso when it was anyone else. Maxx Crosby is a similar player and have to imagine the plan was similar. The two big turnovers came on plays where Koonce was 1-on-1 vs Richards. · Quoting Ryan Holmes: 3rd & 4, Leonard dials up glitch (5 man pressure, both DT drop, blitz the mike/will/nickel) to get a free runner at QB. Malcolm Koonce beats the LT quickly chopping left hand then turns corner for strip sack before the free runner (Johnson) even gets there. #RaiderNation
- Slowing down Maxx Crosby is hard enough without your left tackle, but the Saints must figure out how. That's just one step in the offense's plan to beat the Raiders.

And something he helped me the most with is, especially these last couple of years, just like mastering the art of being calm. You can't press and be the best version of yourself. You've just got to do everything in your power to put yourself in that position to be the best version of you.
