Btowner Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Interesting that after a 12-4 season and Derek Carr improving under his watch, the Raiders will not renew Bill Musgrave's contract. I wonder why? They retain their DC with the 26th ranked defense, but let the OC with the 6th ranked offense go? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 That's surprising. Maybe he and Del Rio don't see eye to eye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgo Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 They were going to lose QB coach Todd Downing to other teams and Musgrave's contract is up. Basically they just liked Downing so much that they had to let Musgrave go in order to keep Downing. Del Rio also wants to see more creativity and better utilization of offensive personnel.

Mythos27 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 It's stupid to force the ball to one receiver all game when you've got a great overall group. Megatron is a hall of famer but the Lions were better without him this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's wasn't about Megatron, it was about changing their offensive scheme last year when they replaced their OC mid season. Their offense was excellent at the end of 2015. Not sure the Raiders changing OCs will have the same impact, however. I can only assume their scheme will remain mostly the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These old farts that insist on balanced offenses and spreading the ball around won't last long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliTitan3518 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Makes sense. Downing has more to do with Carrs development than Musgrave. Same reason Lovie got fired in Tampa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's the problem...They want Cooper to be #1 with at least 100 catches. His offense basically used Cooper as a decoy drawing a double team to get the others guys open. Just like how the Lions were using Megatron his last few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabtrees involvement just came with the flow of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
