You are just making my point for me. You can't take 5-7 step drops every single time you pass. The Raiders kept trying to go long and kept getting sacked. You said it yourself that 6 sacks came on 5 step drops. You have to take more 3-4 step drops to set up a big play 5-7 step drop. The only pass yards that were successfull on Monday were when Brooks called an audible and threw a quick pass to Moss. That's another point to make. Moss is soooo much more than a deep ball guy. He can catch the short ball and make guys miss. He showed that on Monday. The Raiders don't get that. I agree that the line/players are the problem but the Al Davis/Shell system is as well. Like I said before, Al did nothing to upgrade the line in the offseason and are entire starting o-line unit are his draft picks. If you blame the players you have to blame the guy who picked them.
