I wouldnt be quick to judge Burns off this game. I can almost guarantee double digit sacks by the end of the season. Esp. If his snap count is high. 

If you watched, he was a step away from a sack and possible strip sack twice. The problem was Carr releasing the ball in 2 seconds every play. 

Only players that went unnoticed imo were YGM and KK Short. YGM is a rook so he gets the benefit of the doubt and I'd expect Short plans to redeem himself against Tampa. He was literally non-existent. 

I agree. I thought Burns was ok today. In fact his athleticism showed on his pursuit in the run game. He has tons of upside and didn’t necessarily hurt us today playing in a new scheme. Color me optimistic.

The Raiders had their third string RT out there due to injuries and we got 0 sack.

Where was Brown and Short?  I guess they didn't make any stupid plays so they were ok.  Short had 4 tackles and Brown other than the batted down pass what did our first round pick do this afternoon?  Normal 3 tackle day.  1 solo tackle ,1 tackle for loss, and 1 pass deflection.  Ummmm....nothing more but an average day for a DT.  I thought that with Short and Brown we were going to have a stud Dline?   https://www.espn.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=401220370

Burns is going to be a huge issue. His size doesn’t fit a 4-3 at all. It may be time for him to transition to lb. 

Burns can't transition to LB, we are already stacked at that position.

I may be mistaken but I saw no sack.

We didn't have a sack. Only recorded one tackle for loss.

[Mr. Scot]

We ran some three man fronts for a stretch in the second half. I think that was about the time we got our first real stop since the opening drive.

Yeah, you are right...Raiders had the 1 sack, my mistake

Burns overruns himself out of every play. The raiders lost their starting RT and the panthers still couldn’t get any pressure. Pretty bad sign

I thought burns played well in run D. Obada was horrible today. 2 big runs, at least one touchdown came from him losing contain on the edge.

[Mr. Scot]

I remember commenting during the game to somebody that I just don't think Marquis Haynes is an NFL player.

They could't make any pressure,so changed to a 3-men front line in the late of 3th quarter.

Yah,like the Baylor's 3-3-5,and made some stops.Burns dropped and covered good.

They will continue to try out.

Burns was being manhandled by bigger linemen today, his speed wasn't paying off.

The Raiders O-line was as advertised and one of the best in the league in many opinions. Let's see how he does next week. They may need to get some stunts going to get him free. Too many times he went to the line and got locked onto. 

 

Agreed on next week and just needing to see him more, but the Raiders starting RT left in the 1st quarter. Then, the backup got hurt. 

We couldn't get pressure against the 3rd string, a backup guard who kicked over to RT.  Not...good.

Run D was almost historically bad last season, yeah that was quite the disaster. Now it’s looking better.  One step forward.
