Arkansas Bengal Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 CIN-OAK grades: Raiders D-Line strong in lossDE Justin Tuck and NT Dan Williams both posted overall grades of +7.0 and higher.Kiernan Hogan | 17 hours ago Here are the top takeaways and highest-graded players from the Bengals-Raiders game, including the highest graded players from each team:Bengals– DT Geno Atkins appears to have returned to his pre-injury form. His +6.6 overall grade (one sack, four hurries, and a +2.1 run defense grade) was his best since his ridiculous 2012 campaign, when he earned a +73.6 cumulative grade. Gerald McCoy ranked second among defensive tackles that season with a +24.2.– QB Andy Dalton (+2.6) took full advantage of the protection that his offensive line afforded him with an efficient performance. Dalton was pressured just six times, and was 25-30 on passes thrown less than 20 yards. WR A.J. Green (-0.3) also dropped a touchdown that would have made Dalton’s stat line look even better.– TE Tyler Eifert earned a career-best +3.1 grade after missing nearly all of 2014 with an elbow injury. Eifert caught nine of 10 passes thrown his way for 104 yards and two touchdowns. A dropped pass was the only blemish on an excellent start to the season, as the Notre Dame product forced a pair of missed tackles after the catch and earned positive grades as a blocker.Top PerformersDT Geno Atkins (+6.6)CB Adam Jones (+4.1)LG Clint Boling (+4.5)TE Tyler Eifert (+3.3)LT Andrew Whitworth (+2.8)Raiders– While OLBs Khalil Mack and Aldon Smith have the talent to form one of the best tandems in the NFL, it was a quiet start for each as pass rushers. Mack (+2.1) earned positive grades in run defense and pass coverage, but finished with just two hurries in his 28 pass rushes. Smith played 30 total snaps to Mack’s 60, picking up one QB hit in 21 rushes.– QB Matt McGloin replaced Derek Carr after the starter suffered a hand injury, earning a -3.3 grade as the Raiders struggled to move the ball. McGloin was one-for-five for 14 yards on passes thrown more than 10 yards, including an ugly interception. The Bengals did a nice job bottling up rookie WR Amari Cooper (-2.7), who finished with five catches for 47 yards and a dropped pass on nine targets in his debut.– NT Dan Williams (+7.1) and DE Justin Tuck (+8.2) were absolutely dominant throughout the game. Williams had Bengals C Russell Bodine (-1.6) on skates for most of the game, and Cincinnati RT Andre Smith (-4.2) was no match for Tuck, who recorded two batted passes at the line and a +5.0 run defense grade.Top Performers:DE Justin Tuck (+8.2)NT Dan Williams (+7.1)LB Khalil Mack (+2.1)HB Taiwan Jones (+2.1)HB Latavius Murray (+1.3) https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/09/14/cin-oak-grades-raiders-d-line-strong-in-loss/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhowdy54 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Smith with a -4.2 and Tuck with a +8.2. Is this site a freaking joke? The Raiders dline didnt come close to getting to Dalton. Tuck couldnt get near the QB so is only way of making a play is by getting lucky with batting the ball down at the line of scrimmage. Because he got lucky a few times and blocking an extra point he gets a +8.2. Nobody on the Raiders deserves a positive grade.

BlackBengal Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 But I thought that the Raiders contained Geno Atkins? That's what Chris Sims and his partner told me in the 4th quarter on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montecore Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 That was the Bangle Geno Atkins. The Bengal Geno Atkins had a much better game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk Almost all of the success running went to the left behind Whit and Boling. Andre didn't have a good game so seeing a positive for Tuck isn't surprising but an 8.2 is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre didn't have a good game so seeing a positive for Tuck isn't surprising but an 8.2 is ridiculous.That was Smith's side and he didn't know the players he was playing with so he wasn't going to be as effective as an FA who went through training camp.We threw the kitchen sink at this team, ...everything in our playbook, ...and we executed each play well.I can't imagine how an NFL team game plans against us and our whole play book, ...that just seems an impossible task in a few short days till they take us on. A seasoned team that knows the whole playbook? This is going to be one wild ride for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I loved the way the Raiders played. I gave them A+ marks the entire game. Hopefully the chargers will steal their game plan and use it on Sunday. Highlight the part where they let Eifert frolic all over the field.

Flacco must have underthrown one deep ball by more than 10 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
