quote:

On second down from the Baltimore 26-yard-line, Raiders head coach Jon Gruden called for the field goal unit to come on to attempt a game-winning kick. The transition from offense to special teams took longer than usual and the Raiders had already used their timeouts, which led to the penalty once kicker Daniel Carlson and company were on the field.

“Our kicker was warming up in the net,” Gruden said, via Frank Schwab of Yahoo Sports. “No one could find him.”

Quick Reads highlights with a bit about Allen Robinson having one of the saddest histories of most targets on god-awful offenses: https://www.footballoutsiders.com/quick-reads/2021/qr-week-1-will-allen-robinson-ever-get-good-qb

quote:

3. Jalen Hurts - Hurts' average pass only traveled 3.8 yards beyond the line of scrimmage, fewest of any qualifying quarterback ... but that's OK, because he had the best DYAR on throws to receivers at or behind the line of scrimmage. He threw 14 of those passes, completing 13 of them for 97 yards and a touchdown.

10. Tyrod Taylor - One reason the Texans offense was so surprisingly effective was that they stayed on schedule. Taylor's average pass came with 6.2 yards to go for a first down, least of any qualified passer this week.

18. Joe Burrow - Burrow was a monster in the second quarter, but only in the second quarter. He did not throw for a first down in the first quarter, and only had five in the second half and overtime, but he had eight in the second quarter, when all nine of his throws resulted in completions or DPIs for a total of 145 yards. (He was also sacked once.)

26. Andy Dalton - With about a minute to go in the third quarter, the Bears had the ball at their own 21, down 27-14—not an ideal situation, but not a lost cause either. From that point forward, Dalton picked up only one first down, going 7-of-13 for 55 yards with a pair of sacks. That actually wasn't his worst part of the game—he had the worst DYAR in the first quarter (7-of-10 for 50 yards with one sack, one fumble, and one interception). He was also the league's worst passer on third/fourth downs (6-of-11 for 45 yards with three conversions, two sacks, one interception, and a fumble) and on deep balls, though that comes with an asterisk. Officially, Dalton only threw one deep pass in this game, and it was intercepted. But even that pass only went deep because it was tipped by a different defender 5 yards downfield. Meanwhile, Justin Fields had -1 DYAR passing (2-for-2 for 10 yards, with neither throw picking up a first down) and 9 DYAR rushing (one carry for a 3-yard touchdown).

32. Ryan Tannehill - Tannehill did not complete a pass for a first down until the Titans were down 17-0 in the second quarter. Up to that point, he had gone 3-of-6 for 15 yards, with three sacks that lost a total of 28 yards. Really, Tannehill's six sacks (and his two fumbles on those plays) are the biggest reason he's in last place. Take all sacks away from all quarterbacks and seven players fall behind him in the rankings. They were not the only problem, however. On throws down the middle, Tannehill went 7-of-13 for only 61 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

Is the net not the first place you look for the kicker?

You probably expect your kicker to be paying some attention to the game in that situation.

Kicking a field goal on second down with plenty of time left is not exactly “standard operating procedure”.

Weren't they in OT at the 26? Seems like you'd know a game winning FG attempt is imminent.

It was second down too. If they wanted to kick "whenever" they should have had a coach or waterboy stand by him to push him on the field when they wanted to kick.

It’d be awesome if Teddy did really well this year. I’m not a Broncos fan but I think it’s so great when someone is put into a new system that works for them and sees success. I can’t imagine how many talented, high potential players saw no success due to bad coaching or management over the years.
