Raiders D vs Jets: 212 yards on 34 carries, 6.2 ypc. Reluctantly taking out Ivory's 71 yard run, you still have 4.3 ypc.
vs. Texans: 188 yards on 46 carries, 4.1 ypc. The key stat is that in the 2nd half, the Texans ran 39 plays, of which only 6 were passes.
vs Pats: 76 yards on 32 carries, 2.4 ypc. That is just not an acceptable performance under any circumstances. Yeah, I can believe the Raiders made adjustments after their first two games. But the Pats OL regressed from their already shitty performance first 2 games. Reiss is 100% on target with his criticism.
I don't generally give Bedard a lot of credibility when it comes to "rumors have it...." stories. However, I can't imagine Belichick was thrilled after their latest non-performance. There was really nothing positive to take out of that game.
