“I mean, we can all sit here and say we could have thrown it up, it could have been an incomplete, could have been an interception, or he could have caught it. Who knows what that percentage would have been and what would have happened. So, at the end of the day, you give the Raiders credit and they stopped us, and that’s pretty much it.”
“No, I mean, we know what the struggles are, and that’s just self-inflicted. Offensively, self-penalties that’s costing us not to continue drives. And I can’t speak defensively, and I can’t speak special teams, but offensively, just holding penalties and things like that, misalignments, things like that, that are just causing us to not be as explosive as we want to.”
“I don’t know. I mean, that’s a Kevin question, so you got to talk with the coordinators on that part. I’m just executing whatever is called. If people think it’s easier on first down, I think every down is hard. It’s the NFL, so it just depends on what the defense is doing.”“I don’t know. I don’t know the percentage.”
“Yeah, you got to give their defense credit. They’re playing at a high level, doing exactly what they’re asking to do in that scheme. You know the front is definitely very aggressive, very impressive. I mean, everyone knows about Payne and Jonathan and Fowler and Ferrell whenever he’s healthy. And you got Wagner, who’s a vet, who’s controlling the middle, and then you got a nice young secondary that are playing at a high level. So, you can tell that they’re playing confident.
“Yeah, I mean, you can tell when he steps on the field, he’s confident in what they’re running, he’s confident with the guys that he has around, and he’s playing free. Super, super, exciting guy to watch. I mean I’ve known him since high school. We trained a little bit when he was out in Arizona at Arizona State, and when he went to Arizona State, then he went to LSU. So, we have history, and he’s definitely having a start to a great campaign for his NFL career.
“Just being able to see things, just being able to operate and just playing football. I think that’s the biggest thing, just playing football, getting active, acclimated to the speed of the game and how people are going to defend us and try to defend me. So, I think that’s the biggest thing. And each week, week by week, I plan to continue to have that arrow point up and going in the right direction that I wanted to go.
Elijah only has one target after the game, is that something you kind of file away and say, ‘We need to get him more involved in the weeks moving forward’? When Amari has been so reliable throughout his career, is it shocking when he doesn’t catch the ball and you make a good throw and it turns into an interception?
“I mean, of course you’re going to have that. I mean, that’s what family does. We might go back and forth, but at the end of the day, we talk about it, we love each other, and we move on. And that’s part of the game, that’s part of this system. I think the media kind of blows it out of proportion, but it wasn’t anything serious. That’s why no one panicked.
