Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich Perez: O’Connell shows promise despite Raiders falling short to Chargers

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Rich:

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell who stepped in for starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo who is recovering from a concussion, showed a lot of promise going 24-39 for 236 yards, no touchdowns, one pick.

O’Connell made a few mistakes he kind of hung wide receiver Devante Adams out to dry on a play over the middle where Adams ended up getting hurt that’s why it’s important that you don’t have a rookie quarterback make those kind of mistakes.

Los Angeles offensive line backer and ex Raider Khalil Mack was all over the place showing why the Raiders shouldn’t have let him go. Mack had six sacks on the day so O’Connell will remembered who floored him during this game.

Raiders running back Josh Jacobs had a solid performance and looked like the Jacobs of last year and it’s taken him a little bit to get back in shape. The hold out didn’t help him and now it looks like he’s back and Jacobs has been practicing with the team and Sunday was evident of that he really had a great game.

Raiders Drop to 1-3 Losing to the Chargers 24-17

The Los Angeles Chargers (2-2) were able to get past the Las Vegas Raiders (1-3) Sunday afternoon thanks to Kalil Mack’s six sacks coupled with three Justin Herbert’s touchdowns. The final was 24-17 in favor of Los Angeles. The six sacks from Mack was a franchise record for a single game.

Sunday afternoon the NFL entered the fourth week of the season. The Raiders took on the Chargers in Inglewood at SoFi Stadium. The Raiders were without quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo who is still on concussion protocol and ruled out for today’s game.

Going into the game the Raiders had to choose between Aidan O’Connell, who was a fourth-round draft pick without a single regular season game under his belt. The other choice, another shaky one, Brian Hoyer who has not won an NFL start since October of 2016 and has lost 12 straight starts.

It’s a very concerning situation for the Raiders so early in the season. We’ve seen terrible quarterback situations throughout the NFL to start 2023 and we have also seen how it can disable an entire team.

After the opening quarter this game was tied at seven. The Chargers were first up on the scoreboard. Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert rushed for 12 yards at 10:38 taking the early 7-0. The Raiders answered right back when their quarterback rushed for one yard and a touchdown with .45 seconds left on the clock in the first quarter.

Los Angeles took over in the second quarter of the game. The Chargers got the quarter going with a 33 yard field goal. They would follow this up with a Herbert pass to Keenan Allen for seven yards and the Chargers had a 17-7 lead. Justin Herbert would score his second rushing touchdown of the game, this one another one yard rush. At the half, the Chargers had a 24-7 lead.

The Chargers did not score in the second half of play. The Raider defense held up their end of the deal but the Las Vegas offense not so much. They did score a field goal in the third quarter, a 22 yard kick from Daniel Carlson. The Raiders now trailed by the score of 24-10.

Las Vegas had an opportunity in the fourth quarter when Josh Jacobs rushed for one yard and the touchdown; they were seven points away from tying this game. Throughout the game, Khalil Mack recorded six sacks making life pretty miserable for O’Connell. The Raiders did have the ball in the closing minutes but failed to score. The final was 24-17.

It was an up and down game for the Raiders. O’Connell had three fumbles losing two of them and he also had an interception for the three turnovers. He passed for 238 yards. Josh Jacobs had eight catches for 81 yards and Davante Adams had 75 reception yards. Jacobs also turned in 58 rushing yards.

The Raiders had some great chances in the second half. Their defense held tight but the offense just came up short despite scoring twice, once in the third quarter and again in the final quarter. Las Vegas now drops to 1-3 for the season.

In week 5, the Raiders will meet the Green Bay Packers in a Monday night showdown. Kickoff for that game is scheduled for 5:15 PM. The Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is projected to start this game.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: Garoppolo in concussion protocols after loss to Steelers, Raiders haven’t decided if he can start Sunday

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was evaluated after Sunday night’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers for a concussion and was placed in concussion protocols. How is his outlook for this Sunday’s game in Southland?

#2 Garoppolo played in every snap on Sunday night but did not speak with reporters after the game as he was being evaluated immediately after the game.

#3 Garoppolo was 28-44 for 324 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. Talk about Garoppolo’s offensive performance.

#4 Garoppolo was wobbly after getting sacked by the Steelers TJ Watt. He reportedly hurt his ankle on the play and it wasn’t reported that he had suffered a concussion right after the play and was helped off the field.

#5 Garoppolo must past concussion protocols before being named the starter for Sunday. There is also a chance that third string quarterback Aidan O’Connell might get the starting call over second stringer Brian Hoyer for Sunday’s game if Garoppolo is out. O’Connell had a good pre season and might get the start.

49ers Electrocuted by Chargers, 23-12, After Shipping Trey Lance to Dallas

By Michael Roberson

SANTA CLARA–The San Francisco 49ers (1-2) closed out the preseason with a loss to their downstate foe, Los Angeles Chargers (2-1) – after making an earlier major roster move – Friday Night in the Silicon Valley.

Brock Purdy marched his 49ers down the field on their first drive, only to have it come up empty after running back Jordan Mason fumbled into the endzone for a touchback for LA.

Drive #2 for San Francisco was a little better, as Purdy took it in for himself, scoring a five yard TD. 6-0 SF, after a missed extra point attempt. The 49ers used Purdy and two other starters for two drives.

The Chargers answered back with a 75-yard touchdown run for running back Joshua Kelley. 7-6, LA after a successful extra point, and the score stood up after the first 15 minutes. The Chargers were using second and third string players.

The second quarter didn’t have much scoring, except a 24-yard Field Goal by Chargers’ kicker Cameron Dicker. 10-6 LA, then and at the half’.

In the third, Niners’ QB Sam Darnold tossed a six-yard TD to Willie Snead IV.. After a missed two-point conversion, San Francisco led by two, 12-10.

LA’s QB, Max Duggan gave his team the lead right back with his 3-yard TD pass to Hunter Kampmoyer. 17-12, Chargers.

The Chargers followed that up with a 35-yard FG by Dicker. 20-12 LAC. That was also the score after three quarters.

The Chargers added another field goal in the fourth on the foot of Dustin Hopkins (27), and the Southern California team won by 11, 23-12.

The Niners open the 2023 Season in the Steel City to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers, September 10. The Chargers will host the Miami Dolphins on the same date.

The 49ers also dealt quarterback Trey Lance to the Dallas Cowboys. Lance came to the 49ers three years ago for three first round draft picks. Lance’s first pre season game against the Las Vegas Raiders he was sacked four times in three offensive possessions. In spite of that he came back in pre season game number two against the Denver Broncos on Aug 19th and had shown improvement. 49ers general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan already had their minds made up about dealing Lance to the Cowboys on Friday.

Purdy won the job after Lance and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo got hurt and led the 49ers toward the post season. Sam Darnold will be the second string back up who won the job struggled to get the offense moving in the first three possessions and threw for a touchdown a six yarder to Sam Snead. Purdy was 5-9 for 73 yards against the Chargers.

#1 Tony, the NFL last night canceling Monday Night Football’s suspended game between the Buffalo Bills (12-3) and the Cincinnati Bengals (11-4) after defensive tackle Darmar Hamlin had to be treated on the field for a cardiac arrest.

#4 The Kanas City Chiefs (13-3) are sitting in a good position and they’ve got home field advantage, they get a bye at the begging of the playoffs and have just dominate on both sides of the football going into post season.

Raiders Win Third In a Row Beating Los Angeles Chargers 27-20

By Barbara Mason

Sunday afternoon the Las Vegas Raiders (5-7) took on the Los Angeles Chargers (6-6). The Chargers are close to being in playoff conversation and this game is of major importance to Los Angeles. This week they won a thriller at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas edging the Chargers 27-20. The Raiders have been playing great beating the Seahawks last week 40-34 in a most dramatic fashion.

They beat the Broncos the week before that 22-16. The question of the hour is why it took so long for them to get going this season and what could have been had they started the season playing the way they are playing right now.

The Raiders would be challenged in this game by Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert who is having a nice season. The Raider defense would have to step up to contain not only this guy but also wide receiver Keenan Allen.

Las Vegas had a horrible start in the first quarter, in fact it was the thing nightmares are made of. The Raiders not only fumbled away the ball but at 5:07 Derek Carr threw a pick six, intercepted by the Chargers Bryce Callahan giving Los Angeles a 7-0 lead.

Los Angeles extended their lead in the second quarter when Cameron Dicker kicked a 37 yard field goal and the Chargers had a 10-0 lead. The Raiders Josh Jacobs, (hero of last week’s overtime win) rushed for 20 yards and a touchdown.

A Daniel Carlson 55 yard field goal tied up this game at ten with two minutes left in the half. The Chargers were able to take back the lead with 27 ticks left on the clock. Dicker kicked a 34 yard field goal for a Los Angeles advantage 13-10 at the half.

The third quarter was an all-Raider affair, in fact, it was the Carr to Adams show. At 14:28 Derek Carr connected with Devante Adams for 31 yards and a touchdown. This dangerous duo struck again at 10:53 when Carr found Adams open hitting him for 45 yards, the touchdown and a 24-13 lead.

The Raiders would open the fourth quarter with a Daniel Carlson field goal, this one for 25 yards and Las Vegas had the upper hand leading 27-13. The Chargers did score in the final quarter, a Herbert to Keenan Allen strike for 35 yards and the touchdown but that would be it for Los Angeles. The final was 27-20. The Raiders had won three games in a row.

Carr finished with 250 passing yards and two touchdowns with the one interception. Josh Jacobs had not cooled down one bit rushing for 144 yards and Devante Adams received for 177 yards. Aside from the rocky start in the first quarter the missteps did not deter Carr at all and he finished with an outstanding game.

The Las Vegas defense had an equally great game sacking Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert five times. The Raider defense pressured Herbert all afternoon. It was an aggressive effort for this defensive unit. Las Vegas really put the stops on wide receiver Allen as well. This loss really hurt the Chargers playoff hopes.

Next week the Raiders will take on the struggling Los Angeles Rams who lost today to the Seahawks. The Rams now have a shocking 3-9 record. This will be a Thursday night game with kickoff scheduled 5:15 PM on Prime Video.

#2 For Carr a line that got the Raiders their third straight win 27-20 against the Chargers, going 16-30, 250 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

#3 Ever since that tough loss in Vegas against the Indianapolis Colts four weeks ago the Raiders seemed to have righted the ship and have been on a mission on both sides of the football.

#4 Adams caught eight passes for 177 yards for two touchdowns and running back Josh Jacobs carried 26 times for 144 yards, and got one touchdown.

#5 It’s off to the Southland and Thursday Night Football as the Raiders face the Los Angeles Rams (3-9) at So Fi Stadium can the Raiders pick up their fourth straight win?

Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria: Raiders playoff picture still bleak; Raiders take each game one week at a time

On the Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Tony, two weeks ago the Las Vegas Raiders were collapsing they were on a five game losing streak with them scheduled to start a two game road trip in Denver and Seattle all looked bleak until they had break out games resulting in overtime wins in Denver and Seattle.

#2 Tony, when you saw Raiders quarterback Derek Carr nearly broke down after the game after a home loss to the Indianapolis Colts was that a moment of reckoning for Carr and the Raiders that they mad and they weren’t going to take it anymore?

#3 Also owner Mark Davis had head coach Josh McDaniels back after the fifth straight loss and fans calling for his head. Was it a matter of Davis is not going to fire McDaniels and be on the hook for the rest of his salary or he still had faith in McDaniels to persevere through those tough times.

#4 Tony, the Raiders as now have no chance of making the post season at 4-7. The Raiders would have to win the rest of their games and finish 10-7 that’s six consecutive more games and wins to get some daylight.

#5 Tony, Raiders and Chargers as the Raiders return to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to face the Los Angeles Chargers (6-5). The Chargers just got by the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday 25-24. How do you see the outcome between these two teams.
