Raiders coach Jon Gruden says great pass rushers don’t grow on trees.
“It’s hard to find a great one. It’s hard to find a good one. It’s hard to find one,” Gruden said. “College football now, they’re not really dropping back to pass and throwing footballs anymore. They’re throwing laterals and they’re throwing bubble screens and they’re throwing read options. So you’ve got to train these guys. It takes a little time to learn how to rush the passer. We’ve got some guys that are in that process right now.”

To be fair, they controlled the majority of their past 2 games. Actually remember they even led the Rams at half in their opening game.
I'm listening to the Beating the Book podcast, and Chris Andrews just said Aaron Donald and Mack were worth the most as defensive players and that J.J. Watt was on the downside.
Really? Yes, Donald leads the NFL in sacks with 8. Watt on the downside? He's up to 4th in the league with 7 sacks. Mack? He's down to tied for 16th. Granted, Mack wasn't 100% in his last game but the idea that the public only remembers what it sees last doesn't seem to hold. I believe the public gets married to perceptions and holds on to them too long.
