There was a lot to like for the Raiders in their home opener. Especially if you were stil struggling with PTSD from watching their disaster of an offense last year. But there was also plenty of issues and players who didn't make a great first impression on the new coaching staff. Do they fall down and stay down? Or do they get up, dust themselves off and come back stronger next week? We shall see. For now, they are...
The two drafted rookies have been battling for the starting left cornerback job. They came out together with the second team defense in this game, Masses on the left and McCoy on the right. And proceeded to get torched for much of the game.
Their first drive of the game, Masses gave up a nine-yard catch on third and four and missed a tackle on an 11-yard run on third and one. The next play McCoy gave up the touchdown catch.
Next drive, Masses gave up a 14-yard catch on third and six and a few plays later, McCoy gave up another touchdown catch. Coming out the half, Maxxes gave up a first down catch on fourth and two and two plays later, McCoy gave up an 11-yard catch that put them back in field goal range.
He too came in with the second team defense. The first drive -- which was the second TD drive for the Cards -- he was flagged for unnecessary roughness when he tried punching at the ball well after the runner was ruled down and the play was over. Two plays later he gave up a nine-yard catch. On the third TD drive of the game, between catches given up by Masses and McCoy, Eichenberg gave up a ten-yard catch, a seven-yard catch, and missed a tackle on a run to set up a third and short.
