Let's be honest guys. DA developed a masterful gameplan that held the Raiders in check for the vast majority of the game. What we have to examine is exactly why it fell apart and why we started allowing huge chunks of yardage. I think part of the reason is that they were fatigued and there were coverage breakdowns. Crawley having to come in really hurt us as well but there are lots of things to build on here. We can't afford any more losses in the secondary.
"It wasn't that type of game," defensive end Darryl Tapp said. "The game plan put in yesterday, it wasn't extremely conducive to (getting sacks), and it worked perfectly the first three quarters. Now, it's something that we'll have to constantly stress as far as getting even more pressure on the quarterback, but, like I said, the game plan we had yesterday was working. We just got to do a better job as a defense of finishing out the entire game."
The gameplan was specifically to defend Carr, who escaped pressure a few times.
"It wasn't full just pin your ears back and go," Tapp said. "You couldn't do that because this guy's an athletic quarterback."
