A New Breed in Oakland... (CUSTOM All-Madden Sliders, Online CFM - X1)

Here I am as the new head coach of the Oakland Raiders. A team I grew up watching and loving, a life-long fan through the good times and the bad. I come into this organization after a terrible past decade in which the teams best record was breaking an even 8-8 (2010, 2011); I need to revitalize this team with changing the approach on both sides of the ball.

I bring to this team different looks on both sides of the ball, but the biggest change is on the Offensive side. We have been stuck in a Run-First, West-Coast scheme; but we need to evolve with the rest of the NFL and start passing the ball more. I bring my 'Scattergun' playbook to this offense. This playbook features a majority of Shotgun sets, with some basic formations and some Pistol sets that feature some Read-Option plays.

Offensive Playbook: Scattergun (custom)
Defensive Playbook: Pittsburgh - Mike Tomlin (3-4)

I need to work with Reggie McKenzie to bring in some fresh talent and upgrade some of our stale positions (most notable positions: RB, WR, RG, RT, CB, FS). We did a great job in the offseason of this season in Free Agency and the Draft signing future superstar Khalil Mack and drafting a potential gold mine in Derek Carr.

Shared Files!

Just so you all know, I have uploaded my Offensive Playbook to the Community Files. If you would like to download them, simply search for my gamertag: GutterPhenom16. Once I figure out the slider situation and get them to a set in which I determine is good enough, I will upload them as well.

Pre-Season

One of the major things I need to do this pre-season is I need to use the Game Prep on improving the Confidence and gaining EXP for top rookies Khalil Mack and Derek Carr. While Carr will not start right away.

Position Battles

QB: Matt Schaub vs Matt McGloin - This is an interesting matchup for the pre-season as both QBs have an equal shot at starting the first game of the year.

- Schaub comes in after a dismal season in Houston having been dwindling the last few seasons, but hopefully the change in scenery can reinvigorate this QB and bring him back to where he was 4 years ago.

- McGloin was the rookie QB to take over for the ill-fated Terrelle Pryor experiment last year and had a decent season. He is unproven (only having played 7 of 16 games last year) but is a good pocket presence and could possibly bloom into a solid QB to teach Derek Carr.

RB: Maurice Jones-Drew ("MJD") vs Darren McFadden ("Run DMC" or "DMC") - This is the battle of the broken Running Backs. Both of these RBs used to be amazing but thanks to constant injury (DMC) and wear-and-tear on a terrible team (MJD.. well.. both, but mostly MJD) these RBs are on a downward spiral.

- MJD is the starter for now, posing as a better 'bruising' type runner but has been more consistent throughout his career than DMC. Consider him to be more of the Fred Jackson-type of the Raiders.

- DMC was the Raiders cornerstone when we drafted him in 2008 but has vastly underwhelmed mainly due to his constant being on the injury report. He is definitely the shiftier and faster of the two backs (the C.J. Spiller to our offense) but mainly will be used as a change-of-pace back unless he shows he is a considerable advantage over MJD.

Looking for a Trade

I need to look for an improvement at the Wide Receiver position, so I will be taking a look at the players who populate the Actions Menu and I will take a look at the Trading Block every week to see what Wideouts are available. Any signings or trades will be posted under the Week 1 post under the Owners Corner.

Pre-Season Games

I simulate every pre-season game, they just aren't worth it to play. I simulate through the weeks with Injuries turned OFF so there aren't any ridiculous injuries that I cannot help with. I will see the stats at the end of the 4th game and make decisions under the Week 1 post, once again under the Owners Corner.

Week 1

Owner's Corner:
(this is where I will talk about different things about the team like Draft Classes, who I am looking at for the draft, Trading Block issues, Team Re-signings, and some of my own personal notes about things happening with the team)

Pre-SeasonMoves

Trade

Raiders Give: Darren McFadden (RB - 75 OVR) and 2016 3rd Round Pick
Cardinals Give: Andre Ellington (RB - 83 OVR)

Hell yes, I saw his name pop up on the Pre-Season Week 1 Action List, and I was in shock that his name was there. While we didn't need the upgrade, he is a welcome addition to the team, replacing the speedy Run DMC and replacing MJD as starter on the depth chart. MJD will get 3rd Down reps and get carries when Ellington comes out of the game.

Trade

Raiders Give: David Ausberry (TE - 75 OVR) and 2015 4th Round Pick
Falcons Give: Harry Douglass (WR - 80 OVR)

When I began the season, before going into the Jets game I decided to look at the Trade Block one more time for a solid receiver. The best receiver for the entire pre-season was Eddie Royal but all of the sudden I saw Harry Douglass sitting there. I was astounded. He was a solid player last year in the absence of Roddy White and decided to go for it. The Falcons needed a Tight End so I let go of David Ausberry, as I am making Marcel Reece more involved in the passing game out of the backfield and as the 2nd Tight End. I think this was an awesome trade for us.

QB Situation: The QB Situation was actually too close to call in the pre-season. Both Schaub and McGloin had even pre-seasons, so I will grant the start to the veteran Matt Schaub. If he cannot obtain above a 1:1 (TD:INT) or if he cannot win a game before the bye week, he is gone. Otherwise, if it seems like the team cannot get anything going with him under center then I will switch to McGloin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the first game of my coaching tenure and the first time we will see the Scattergun playbook be unleashed. I am very excited heading into MetLife to take on the Jets; lets see how it goes!

Employing a new slider set I think I have finally struck gold. Thank you to rushinplayallday for his philosophy on Pass Defending - it has helped immensely and my numbers look actually realistic for the passing game! No more perfect games for the CPU and no more miracle performances from mediocre QBs!

The Offense today looked great at times, and looked terrible when it counted. Matt Schaub is still clearly rusty and is probably spiraling the drain of his career at this point (26/45 for 274 yards 0 TDs, 3 INTs - 2 of which were returned for TDs). Andre Ellington (17 for 37 on the ground, 3 for 27 through the air) looked lost trying to run against the stout Jets D; so I will chalk this one up as him facing a premier rush defense. Mychal Rivera absolutely killed it today, however, and was the lone bright spot on our offense nabbing 6 balls for 86 yards.

The Defense today was astounding. It was one of those games where you look at the score and would think the Raiders got killed on defense, but it was thanks to Schaub's turnovers that the Jets were able to score so many points on us. We did give upa big amount of Rushing yards to the Jets, Chris Ivory (24 carries for 94 yards, 1 TD) and Chris Johnson (8 for 32). However, against the Pass we were incredible, holding Geno Smith to a paltry 106 yards through the air, only allowing him to complete 9 of his 13 passes. However, the way the game played out the Jets really didn't need to throw the ball, hence the reason they were able to run the ball 30 times and only threw it when necessary.

QB Problems

Matt Schaub clearly is still as bad as he was last year. I will try to instill come confidence into him through the Game Prep, but if he has another terrible game McGloin will be going in.

I hope he can at least turn in a decent game and keep us close. If the game gets to over a 2-score deficit, I will be taking the veteran out.

Draft Stories

From Track & Field: Cortney Buchanan is transitioning to football after spending the last few seasons with Tennessee's track & field team.
- "Now that Cortney Buchanan is heading to the NFL, I can see his speed and size translate to several skill positions." - Matt Miller

Scouting
The Raiders have many needs on both sides of the ball, ranging from just improving the position (RT, RG, CB) to replacing players who are bound to retire at the end of the season (FS, K) we need to be looking all over the board for potential Superstars. I will update the Team Needs section throughout the season if I see any struggling players, cannot resign a player, or an injury happens.

Also, I will write in any player that I scout thoroughly and give a brief description of what I scouted and what grades he got (I only do the initial 'letter grade' scouting to get an idea of how a player's stats are, and judge him based solely on that).

Team Needs:RG, RT, LE, RE, CB, FS, KPlayers Scouted

Chissom Minor (RT - Pass Blocker / Spread - Projected 1st Round #3)
- Had great grades for his Position's Most Valuable Attributes (PVMA) (Pass Block: A, Run Block: B) but an F for Awareness leaves me a little wary. May save up and check his Development, but for now I may look elsewhere for a first rounder.

Damion Hall (CB - Prototype / Base 3-4 - Projected 1st Round #11)
- Amazing grades for his PMVA's (Zone & Man Coverage: A) and his other statistics look pretty solid as well (Press & Pursuit: B) but his Play Recognition and Awareness (D) and Catching (F) need work.

Lamanski Bars (K - Power Kicker - Projected 7th Round #22)
- I need to replace the mighty Seabass with another Power Kicker, and he is the only one (of three total kickers). His PMVA's are solid as well (Kick Power: A, Kick Accuracy: B)

Miami Dolphins (2-1) @ Oakland Raiders (1-2)
**Game Available to Watch on my Twitch's Past Broadcasts section & on Youtube**

Maurice Jones-Drew dives in for the score on a 53-yard Reception in the 4th Quarter.

While our offensive numbers look small in total, our defense were the real stars of today, gobbling up 4 turnovers, including 2 fumble recoveries for future Hall of Famer Charles Woodson. The Rushing defense was better than in weeks passed holding Lamar Miller to only 86 yards on 16 carries (1 TD). However, the Passing Defense gave up a tremendous amount of yardage to Ryan Tannehill (32/38 for 345 yards, 0 TDs 1 INT). However, we were up early so they were forced to pass quite a bit and Brandon Gibson (9/75/0), Brian Hartline (6/78/0), and Charles Clay (5/89/0) were the major recipients today.

If it weren't for the fact Kamal Ash is a Center he would be on my scouting list right now, but for this week I will be saving my Scouting Points to scout one of my prospect's Development Rating.

Draft Stories

One Sack After Another: San Jose St.DT Alan Myers is leading the conference in sacks, getting at least 1 in the last 5 games.
- "Alan Myers is one of my top DT in this class. He's playing beyond the level of competition in college right now." - Matt Miller

Scouting
Team Needs:RG, RT, LE, RE, CB, FS, K
Adding Alan Myers to my list, even though he is not a priority position I would like to have a young DT that is a sack machine. Maybe if his numbers are good enough I will go after him.

Alan Myers (DT - Balanced / Base 4-3 - Projected 3rd Round #15)
- For a 3rd Rounder his PMVA's are pretty impressive (Strength: A, Power Moves, Block Shed, Tackle: B), but is awful at Finesse Moves (D)

San Diego Chargers (4-1) @ Oakland Raiders (2-2)
**was having problems with Twitch when recording this game, so no recording took place**

Rod Streater goes up and makes a spectacular grab on a 3rd and 13 (L) and Chargers LB Melvin Ingram makes a phenomenal leap to bat down a thrown pass to Denarius Moore in the 3rd Quarter.

The Defense looked absolutely lost on some plays going against Philip Rivers, on some of the deep zone coverage calls Charles Woodson crept up and left Keenan Allen and Malcolm Floyd wide open for deep scores (57 and 54, respectively). However, there were many lost opportunities especially from Woodson as he could have nabbed a few interceptions but dropped the pass on 3 separate occasions late in the 4th Quarter alone. The Defense was able to keep Danny Woodhead to under 100 yards today (90 on 19 carries) but most of the rushing yards were achieved in garbage time.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 06:51 AM.
