Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford joked on Tuesday about how many fans come up to him in Detroit to tell him they’re one of his “few” remaining supporters. It was the Packers only loss that season.
This is the feeling the Raiders must recapture if there is any hope in them making this a successful season.
Defensively the Raiders have bigger issues to tackle – such as tackling. “It’s a bunch of fun”. Head coach Jack Del Rio is hopeful that as practice continues this week, getting Cooper more chances will help come Sunday. It’s a unique challenge playing on a short week like this, but we’re fired up.
Every year millions of Americans sit down to eat their turkey, mashed potatoes, and other traditional Thanksgiving foods with their loved ones. “Last year was probably one of the best years we’ve had”. This provides a unique experience. I dont care how experienced you are, I dont care how good you are, hes a wrecking crew and we think Ola, he played a lot of football and he hung in there OK, Caldwell said.
“It’s just a matter of the fact that we’ve got to find a way to get him better”, Caldwell said Monday. She knows me better than anybody. But typically, it could be a little lonely. “We were not operating the way we expect to operate…” Carr and the Raider offense had to the season, one had to question: Would they be able to maintain that high level of production for the entire year? He ended up having just one ball.
“Just going through a minor phase”, Ebron said.
-COACHING: B-plus. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin had a great plan to keep the Raiders offense out of rhythm as Oakland had just two plays of 20-plus yards. “I went back and watched (the Lions game) and it’s like, man, this is completely on us, which is a good thing because now we can go out and fix it”. “So he’s just got to keep working and he’ll be good”. Third pick, tight end Clive Walford, is playing a bigger role nearly every game. Yet, why do the Lions play on Thanksgiving and how did this annual holiday tradition begin? I believe that the main source of the problem stems from a lack of effort on the part of the players.
The Lions didn’t practice on Monday – Caldwell’s regular routine after wins – but they did have to release an injury report anyway due to the Thursday game, per National Football League rules. Specifically with Cooper, the inability to get the rookie speedster in favorable match-ups and utilize his explosive open field running, has resulted in diminishing numbers for the stand-out rookie.
