I don't understand what is wrong with this team. You bring in Marshawn Lynch who looks like he hasn't lost a step, and then you give him like 12 carries a game. I've seen the Raiders go 5 wide no back on the 2 yard line on first down.
We all know that for Lynch to be effective he needs to wear down the D and steal their will to play. He needs to deliver punishment. We knew that's how Seattle used him. You'd often see Lynch in his prime Seattle days average 3 yards a carry until the 4th quarter, and then he'd start ripping 10 yard runs like nothing.
Then you have Amare Cooper and Crabtree and Carr who want to be this high flying, up-tempo passing offense.
I don't get what the Raiders identity is. What are teams scared of when they go in to play Oakland? The defense isn't good but it's just as good as last year, and they basically just added Lynch and kept the same team and have regressed dramatically.
