No there isn't. But the first half of our schedule looks like murderers row. Yes our schedules is loaded. Good to be through the 1st quarter of the season up 3-1 rather than the usual hole we are in. No gimmes tho. Amen. We are always fighting back from a 1-4 bs hole |

Norton handled the D 1 on 1 frequently in the highlights!  Of course it was The Highlights...but there were a lot of them. He played pretty well and is improving. |

I was really impressed with how they helped him, when he knew he had help inside or outside it allowed him to be aggressive the opposite side with his set and this allowed him to handle his guy because he knew the defender was limited to the one side and he’s strong enough at the point of attack so long as he can be aggressive. But when he knew he was alone the confidence just went out the window, he second guesses himself too much, he over sets or doesn’t react quickly enough to what the defender is doing which is a clear indication of his lack of experience and limitations. Like I’ve said he lacks experience, if he had the experience and the technique to mask his limitations the situation would be good. What scares me are those 5-6 awful plays he has that can negatively affect the game profoundly. One that comes to mind was on the throw where herbert overthrew mike williams, norton was one on one with crosby and herbert almost hit his hand on the back of norton’s head because crosby bull rushed him into herbert! Herbert had to modify his throwing motion and did something he rarely does missing a wide open deep pass.

I just read through several posts about Storm Norton or Michael Schofield not being that good- and that's valid.
But Herbert was hit at least twice from his blindside by a rusher racing past Feiler at Left Guard.
I'm just saying.

One was on the outside (engakoue) and I’m pretty sure slater missed his assignment on that one, but not sure depending on whether the play design required a back or a TE to pick up the 9 technique, the other one was feiler’s on the inside (philon) and again it just lookked like a missed assignment. The tandem of feiler and slater had not missed assignments like that ALL year, I think bradley might deserve some credit here?

Makes sense because most Raider fans can’t communicate verbally |

The run game is getting a lot more productive now that the oline has a few games playing together under their collective belts. It takes time to gel, and they need that trend to continue on Sunday. |

The whole team is improving, even the special teams unit is starting to slowly look more competent
