Oakland Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio is going to come under a lot of scrutiny this week. Not only because his team lost, but due to how they fell apart on the offensive side of the football.
Basically, people want to know what in the heck happened to the big plays and all that jazz. Unfortunately for those curious, even Jack Del Rio doesn't have those answers.
After being asked where they went, here was his response:
“I can’t answer to that,” Del Rio said in the postgame presser, as written by the East Bay Times. “I wasn’t – nobody was saying, ‘Don’t take a shot’ – I can’t speak to that right now.”
For what it is worth, he apparently didn't take too kind to the question, but did bring up another factor for the woes happening on the offensive side of the ball for the Raiders.
“I’m not sure where you’re going with this,” he told a reporter. “I feel like, you know, don’t have four turnovers. I think it would probably look a little better.”
Del Rio probably shouldn't get hammered for these comments, as his QB David Carr agrees with him on the turnover point.
“We were able to hit some things and do some certain things, and I felt like we had a really good plan,” Carr said. “When we turn the ball over and when we’re trailing, they’re able to play softer and then we can’t take those chunk throws that we really want.”
Anyway, when the Raiders are right, they have one of the more entertaining offenses in the NFL. This is likely just a hiccup in long season.
