This is a breakdown of the entire OL in the 1st half versus the Raiders and the grading system is as follows,

[++]: Exceptional block showing good technique, physicality and finish.
[+]: Good block that may be missing one of the keys from above.
[/]: Stalemate or a block that does not do much to further the success of the play.
[-]: Poor block that may or may not affect the play.
[--]: Incredibly poor block that leads to the plays failure or a hit on the QB.

Quarter 1

Play 1: Run Right [7 Yards]

Bushrod: Good physical turn out of the backside DE [+].

Slauson: Physical surge into the backside DT and stoned him on the line and did not allow him off late to pursue the play [+].

Garza: Physical run block that turns the NT and knocks him to the ground [+].

Long: Gets to the 2nd level quickly and strikes Burnett, but does not lock him down long enough to be a dominant block [+].

Mills: Drives the backside DE down, but allows him off late however he does not get involved in the play and did open up the playside of the run [+].

*Exceptional blocks by the TE core [Bennett, Maneri and Onubon].

I honestly didn't know the Raiders blitzed so often. Its fucking amazing that at one point we couldn't stop a three man rush but now we are picking up blitzes? Damn that shit pumps me up and turns me on lol

This line looks so much better than last season I do not have the words to describe it. Physically they are bigger, more physical and better athletes, but the physical is only 50% of it. The attitude has completely changed. The OL last year looked like a bunch of victims walking around. This group looks like a bunch of bullies who are fighting people to the ground who are not taking crap and who have been empowered by something.

This is no longer the greatest weakness on the team.

I'll admit it...I've got a boner right now.

Good stuff. It's definitely encouraging. I still can't believe that some people were saying that Bushrod was barely an upgrade over Webb.

Long is too active sometimes. He's going to be fine, because when he's on his assignment he's really good. If he just has to block the guy in front of him I have few worries and that's a lot to say about a rookie guard.

I am going to try but it depends on work and time.

I am going to do week 1 for sure.

Thanks man. Do you just go back to re watch the games or do you have like that nfl playbook thing NFL networks has?

Awesome job Windy! Your breakdowns are so much more interesting to read then most of the news we get. I could tell our OL was terrible the last few years, but admittedly I know nothin about OL and technique so it's cool seeing the breakdown of the play and player. I have learned a lot reading these and rewatching the plays.
