One half of football Barber 4 carries, 4 yards, and he got 4 on the first friggin carry!!! Yeah GREAT addition to the team Chucky. Bell, Gurley, AP, Duke Johnson, Ameer, Freeman, ....all those dudes wouldve done better than that.

And BTW, Drake ain't much better. The statuesque Davud Carr leads the Raiders in rushing with NINE yards
5 carries 2 yards, he does know which direction he's supposed to go ...right?

Carr sure likes to checkdown to his RB a lot.

Waller Renfrow, RB, Te2, TE3..that's his comfort zone...which, if they had a dominant D, or hadn't just spent a ton of draft capital on Ruggs/Renfrow ..fine, I get it...but...ugghh

Steelers are playing good in the secondary so I get it. At least he's trying to take what the D gives him. But sooner or later you gotta start taking more risks and letting your playmakers make a play.

Case in point...

Now why not just try that 2-3 more times a game..just the effort alone, wether its a catch or not, would loosen things up underneath, keep the safeties out of the box..but no, they never try it until late in the game

that's a pretty brutal hit. not sure the actual one that got him was really dirty, looks like the first guy came with a high forearm that knocked his head down, which put it in the path of the defender who was already diving at Sermon's waist/lower body to make the tackle before Sermon puts his head down from 1st contact.

to me, it looks like #42 is diving to put a hard shoulder into Sermon's waist area, but #28 forearmed Sermon's head which knocked it into 42's tackle path.

am I viewing this wrong?

Looks like the right analysis to me.

It’s weird to me that you can fly in high and knock a runner’s head with your forearm. I know it’s getting harder and harder to play defense with all the rules, but guys are always getting faster and stronger. Sometimes football is seriously ugly. I worry about his head but also the vertebrae in his neck.

Dang that was pretty brutal and no wonder he got concussed.

My wife only ever watched about 20 minutes of football. It happened to include the Kevin Everett hit. She never watched again.
