Hes being paid to do a tone. What specifically do you have a problem with? How is he being asked to do too much?

Not performing to what he had in previous seasons. Perhaps a beneficiary of the Rams dline and not the player I thought he was. He was everywhere on the field for them, pass breakups, making plays in the backfeld etc...I barely see him when watching the Raiders.

One of the biggest mistakes in free agency is paying a guy and expecting them to perform in a role that he hasn't done previously. That is exactly what Guenther has him doing in Vegas. Littleton's best asset is covering the RB out of the backfield. And when he has been given that assignment he has done well. But when you watch the All-22, he is being asked to make multiple reads on the same play, and it leaves him in a bind more often than not. It is a problem that has plagued the scheme ever since Guenther has been in charge. Just let him read and react on instinct rather than playing to a set of way to many rules installed in the scheme.

Yea, he's great in pass coverage particularly against RBs. Week 1 last year he had some sensational pass breakups against McCaffery and caused two fumbles. Was clearly the best player on the field.

Thanks for the run down.

You're welcome.

For anyone who has time and wants to go a little more in depth into the X's and O's of the Raiders, check out the Tape Don't Lie videocast on YouTube. Easily the best video breakdowns I've come across.

Derek Carr does a Derek Carr. He's the same breed as Kirk Cousins, Jimmy G and Jared Goff. Puts in these sort of games that leave you scratching your head and undoes a heap of the positive stuff from previous weeks. :(

but then there is this


Gregg Williams' roll of the dice in the final seconds of Sunday's loss to the Raiders has cost him his job.
The Jets (0-12) have fired the veteran defensive coordinator, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. The team announced the decision later Monday. Williams' son, Blake, is also on the staff as a defensive assistant and is expected to depart as well. New York named inside linebackers coach Frank Bush its interim defensive coordinator.

Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2020 .

With only seconds to spare before the Jets snapped the ball for a play late in the first half on Sunday, Vic Beasley turned to Clelin Ferrell and suggested they run a pass-rushing stunt.


Ferrell went with it and wound up with one of the best plays of his professional career. While Jets left tackle Mekhi Becton’s attention was temporarily diverted to Beasley, Ferrell dipped past him and leveled Sam Darnold from the quarterback’s blindside to cause a fumble the Raiders recovered.

It was the second-year defensive end’s second strip-sack of the game and kept the Jets from adding a field goal — they were already in range — going into halftime.

“I was really just going to spy the quarterback on that play, but (Beasley) did a good job of calling that and it came up,” Ferrell said after the game.

Playing a handful of snaps alongside Beasley for the first time since the Raiders signed the veteran former All-Pro two weeks ago proved not only fruitful for Ferrell, but also surreal. Ferrell described Beasley as someone he's looked up to ever since he was in high school.

Beasley was a two-time All-American defensive end at Clemson while Ferrell was building himself into a top-100 nationally ranked recruit at Benedictine College Preparatory in Richmond, Va. Ferrell ultimately decided to follow in Beasley’s footsteps and commit to Clemson, arriving on campus for his freshman season months after the latter was taken eighth overall in the 2015 NFL Draft.

 
Construction of Allegiant Stadium is set to come in $25 million under budget once all work on the 63-acre site is complete.

After the Las Vegas Stadium Authority approved the $25.1 million reduction Wednesday, the final construction budget totals $1.944 billion. Add that to $49.2 million in work paid for by third parties and the final overall cost of the stadium will be $1.99 billion.

“Sofi Stadium in Inglewood was over budget by $2 billion, which sort of puts it into perspective how extraordinary this is,” said board member Jan Jones Blackhurst.

That's becaise SoFi is a modern marvel of a stadium, built into a mountain....whereas Allegiant is just a dome.

You'll be hard pressed to find a group of people without vested interests in SoFi stadium to actually agree with you.
