Aerial Attack: FDon’t let Derek Carr’s numbers fool you. Seventy of his 222 yards and only touchdown pass came in the team’s final possession Bo Jackson Jersey , when the score was 38-3. Prior to that drive, Carr was 13-of-22 for 152 yards and two picks.The receivers did nothing to help their quarterback. Zay Jones, Tyrell Williams, and Keelan Doss caught four passes for 34 yards. If it were not for Darren Waller’s seven catch, 100-yard performance, who knows where the yards through the air would have come from.You better believe upgrading the wide receiver position will be a major emphasis in the offseason.Ground Game: B+Josh Jacobs continued to be a force for the offense with 104 yards on 17 carries. Jacobs went over the 1,000 yard mark on the season. As was the case in Week 2 against the Chiefs, playing from behind forced Gruden to abandon the run game.Behind Jacobs, the ground attack has not gotten much from Jalen Richard or DeAndre Washington.Offensive Line: BThe big uglies up front were moving some bodies in the run game, paving the way for Josh Jacobs’ fifth 100-yard game of the season. They gave up two sacks, but overall did a good job giving Carr time to make throws for the pocket.The bigger issue was the lack of open receivers forcing Carr to hold onto the ball.Defensive Line: D+It seems like week after week there is only one guy to praise and that is Maxx Crosby.Crosby added two more tackles for loss in the game and now has 12 on the season. It’s safe to say Clelin Ferrell has not lived up to his selection as the number four pick in the draft thus far in his rookie year.Interior defenders P.J. Hall and Maurice Hurst applied some pressure from time to time with Hurst getting home for the only sack. The run defense was very good, limiting the Chiefs to 96 yards on 29 carries (3.3 yards per carry).Linebackers: C-And that’s being generous.Tahir Whitehead picked up two penalties on one play, an offsides and unnecessary roughness (though only one could be marked off). He also gave up a 47-yard catch-and-run to Travis Kelce in the third quarter that was the key play of a Kansas City scoring drive.I’d like to see Preston Brown get a look at some point during the next four games. If wide receiver is need No. 1 then linebacker is No. 1a.Secondary: A-The talent and speed of the Chiefs receiving corps is no match for the Raiders secondary, but overall they did alright considering. They did not allow big, explosive plays which was the issue in Week 2. Kelce’s 47-yard reception was the longest of the game, but that was more on the linebackers.Rookie Trayvon Mullen continued to show flashes, breaking up two passes. Although he was flagged for pass interference that cost himself an interception. Nevin Lawson dropped a wide-open interception that hit him right in the hands. The play very well could have resulted in a touchdown had he held onto it.Anytime you hold Patrick Mahomes to 175 yards passing you consider that a success.Tyreek Hill was the only wide receiver to make a catch.Special Teams: FI have been saying for weeks now that the special teams needed to play better and they finally imploded this week.A blocked field goal, a fumble on a kickoff, and a blocked extra point returned for two points is unacceptable. The loss of Dwayne Harris has been huge in the return game. Jon Gruden has praised special teams coordinator, Rich Bisaccia, as one of the best in the game, but the results on the field do not support that.Trevor Davis was pulled from kickoff return duties and replaced with Jalen Richard.Overall: D+Follow @Egroat5 Jon Gruden has a lot of good qualities and some questionable ones, but the one quality he’s never had in his career is being boring.

That’s what makes him such a dynamic coach and what made him a success in the Monday Night Football booth. It’s why, even if he’s been calm and understated for a period of time, you can count on him to keep everyone on their toes by saying something completely bonkers.Coach Gruden was asked after today’s training camp practice how he felt about the Raiders’ backup quarterback battle, which is between Mike ‘The Human Giraffe’ Glennon and Nathan ‘Literally the Worst Quarterback Ever’ Peterman.“I like these guys. This Nate Peterman is growing on me,” said Gruden. “He’s athletic. I know he’s had some nightmare performances in the NFL, but when you watch the film you can see why. It’s not all his fault but he’s got some talent, he’s got some athleticism, he’s got some experience. Here’s an opening day starter for the Buffalo Bills last year. I take that very serious. And he’s smart. He’s done a good job, he’s been consistent and I think he’s starting to get his confidence back and we all need that.”No, coach, no. This is the sort of thing that Mark Davis should roll up a newspaper and smack Jon Gruden on the nose for saying. I get that Peterman played for literally the Bills and that he looks the part, like how a successful quarterback should look, in shorts. But Peterman also has a record of 1-3 as a starter and a QB/INT ratio of 3/12. He was aggressively ‘meh’ in college at Pitt, where he was essentially a more boring version of Tyler Palko, and when he got to the pro ranks based entirely on his genetics and through no achievements of his own, he proved how overmatched he was and how his decision-making ability rivals that of the kid who climbed in the gorilla pen with Harambe. Nate Peterman is the sort of musclebound stiff Vince McMahon would try and fail to make a big star in the 1980s.I get that Jon Gruden likes to stand behind his players and instill confidence, and I remember how he talked up Martavis Bryant before he smoked himself off the face of the planet. Glennon could lose a leg to Moby Dick, contract diverticulitis and scurvy and blow off his fingers JPP-style with Independence Day fireworks and still be better than Nathan Peterman, so there’s little worry that Peterman will ever sniff the field during an actual regular season game. But this is exactly the sort of sad-sack player that Jon Gruden would love to turn into something, anything, just to prove he’s still a quarterback guru. Prepare to see Peterman given a lot of time during the second half of preseason games pretty soon. if you ‘pick six’ quarters to watch this preseason, make it the ones he plays in. They won’t be boring.
