Raiders vs Chiefs Week #16: Breaking Down The O-Line Film

Breaking Film Raiders

The Oakland Raiders beat the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime at Arrowhead stadium, 16-13. The Raiders move to 8-7 on the season and need a win and a Bronco loss to win the division.

After watching the game, a couple of things were noticed: Stephon Heyer had a lot more reps at right tackle/extra lineman, Khalif Barnes had a few more reps on the bench and did a lot of playing along side Heyer, and Manase Tango had more reps at fullback.

Cooper Carlisle ends his day with a 78% and +2 run assignment grade, and a 93% and -1 pass assignment grade. The run blocking for the Raiders was not as good against the Chiefs as it has been this year. Most linemen for Oakland scored in the 70% range. When the entire team does that…that’s a down day.

Let’s take a look at the rest of those scores…

Broncos vs Bills Week #16: Breaking Down The O-Line Film

The Denver Broncos lost to the Buffalo Bills, 14-40. The Broncos move to 8-7 on the season while the Bills improve to 6-9.

The Denver coaching staff is obviously becoming more confident with their offensive line. Throughout the course of the game, the tight ends and backs were rarely used to help in protecting the quarterback.

Some of that change is pass protection philosophy is no doubt due to Tebow’s ability to avoid defenders…but it appears to also be a vote of confidence in the offensive line.

Chris Kuper ends his day with a 91% and +2 run blocking grade and a 96% and +2 pass assignment grade. He has a solid game a the way around for the second week in a row.

Let’s take a look at the rest of those grades…

Chiefs vs Raiders Week #16: Breaking Down The O-Line Film

Chiefs Film Snap

he Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Oakland Raiderson Christmas eve, 13-16. The Chiefs fall to 6-9 on the season and the Raiders improve to 8-7.

The Chiefs implement a couple of new blocking wrinkles during the game, which appeared to be an attempt to breath new life into their running game. For the most part, those new wrinkles was a nice mix up from what what the Chiefs did during the rest of the game.

Jon Asamoah ends his day with a 91% run assignment grade but only a +0 dominance score. That means he was consistent in his blocking but rarely dominated his defender. In pass protection, Jon had an 88% and a -2 dominance score. That 88% isn’t bad…but looking deeper we find that Asamoah received 11 help blocks in pass protection.

The Oakland Raiders lost to the Detroit Lions, 27-28. Oakland falls to 7-7 on the season while the Detroit Lions move to 9-5 on the year.

Well, sorry about the late article this week. Maybe some of you are still interested the offensive line breakdown from last week’s game.

In a few of these articles throughout the season, it has been pointed out that Steve Wisniewski was having some problems. This week, I want to point out, because that is what I try and do, that Wisniewski appears to be getting better.

This week he ends the day with an 85% and +1 run assignment grade along with an 86% and -1 pass assignment grade. That is much more consistent than Steve was being at the beginning of the year. Congratulations to Wisniewski…it appears your hard work is starting to pay off.

Let’s take a look at the rest of those scores…
