“Listen, it’s obviously disappointing. The game’s story isn’t really all that difficult. We couldn’t sustain any drives and didn’t convert on a third down that day (until the last offensive drive). They converted 10 out of 18. That was a big, big part of the game. We obviously didn’t do well enough in this area. We shot ourselves in the foot in the first half with penalties. On the first drive of the game we had an offside position on defense. We had three points before halftime, we came out in the second half and couldn’t score at the end of the day. We’ve talked about how time of possession is an important factor for the Raiders. Thanks, they flipped the script They had the ball for over 37 minutes. It’s just not for everyone. Like I said, I’m definitely disappointed. I know a lot of people will put everything on the quarterback, but we really didn’t help him much today. Unfortunately we sustained a few injuries during the game. Kendre Miller, as you know, is out with a concussion. (Marques Valdes-) Scantling went out at the end. He is being examined. I think it was a re-aggravation of the same injury he had last week. We’ll see what happens. Jaylan Ford suffered a lower leg injury there on punt coverage. We’ll see where he is. Once again it was a disappointing game. In this league you can’t get ten points and win. We have to find a way to score a few more points in the last week. That’s exactly where we are.”

On whether the Raiders’ second-half adjustments caused more problems:

“No, listen, we didn’t execute. We dropped some passes. We missed a few defensive moves. I felt like Spencer (Rattler) never really settled in there, to his credit, but like I said, we had a couple of falls, we had a couple of penalties on offense that kind of stalled. If I’m not mistaken, we were inside the 40, 40 yard line twice and had penalties that pushed us back in. When you’re in a game like this, when you get there you’ve got to take some points. I don’t think it was a schematic thing, but rather an execution thing on our part.”

On Cam Jordan’s career as a Saint:

“The one thing about Cam, the best thing I can say in the six years I’ve been here with Cam, is that he’s the same every day. He has a phenomenal attitude, a phenomenal approach. He’s just as professional. “As they come, you walk into our locker room every day and you can’t tell from his approach, his attitude and his leadership skills how great our record is. I hope he continues playing and hope this isn’t his last home game. but I haven’t seen anything else like this guy. The best thing I can say about him is that he knows exactly what he’s doing every day.

On QB Spencer Rattler’s performance:

“To be honest, I feel like it’s a little hard to evaluate. Before watching the film, watching from the sidelines with just my eyes, I often felt like we didn’t give him a chance. Some of them.” Those third throws he obviously missed, the throw he had to Cedrick (Wilson Jr.) that was tipped in the air, and then the pass at the end that we had (offensive pass interference) called for us to when we were within goal range inside the five yard line and got the penalty. We need to take a step back and think about it through a different lens because I feel like a lot of times he didn’t get help.”

What defensive adjustments are required:

“Really consistency. We’ve had ups and downs over the last seven weeks. There were some signs from the front with eight sacks in the Washington game. Then we thought we’d improved the run defense a little bit because it was like that. “If you had told me even today that they were going to throw the ball 158 yards, that wouldn’t have been a good formula for us to be a strong point.” for us today. That wasn’t the case. I felt like everything they did they dropped six, seven, eight yards forward. First, they had 18 third downs (attempts) and converted 10 of them. The fact that we put them in 18 third down situations – when we want to get off the field and give the offense a chance and get the punt return team back out, we couldn’t find a rhythm on third down Well, they converted and we couldn’t get them off the field. I think that was really No. 1 when you look at the game because it’s like losing the ball. Again it was 0:8. I don’t think you actually need to look much beyond this one statistic. In my opinion, this is really the current status.

Regarding the difference in possession:

“Too many three-, four-, five-play drives. Not sustainable enough. Our third down had picked up a little bit about a month ago when we started trending in the right direction, but the last few weeks we’ve kind of gotten away from it.” Of course, today is a great example – time of possession – us just didn’t get it done – the quarterback will get the majority I just don’t think all the blame is on him.

On the Raiders’ travel topics:

“Yes, I know a few coaches on their team. I knew they were late last night. Sounds like they just went to bed, woke up and played.”

On the long drives that have plagued the defense over the past two weeks:

“It’s definitely frustrating. It’s frustrating for everyone. You take them into the third half and suddenly the offensive and return team is fit and boom, they have converted. It’s definitely disappointing at times.” Last week it was the same thing: We made a few third-and-mediums and longs, and then we got a few penalties and stuff like that and turned them into third-and-shorts. There is no doubt about that. If I’m not mistaken, they’ve been out there for over 70 years. That’s a result of that. That’s why I said at the start of this press conference that this is the pretty simple answer to this game.

On the status of Derek Carr, Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave:

“I haven’t thought much about it. I can tell you that all three of those guys from our conversations last week still had a desire to play.”

On his personal feelings about the loss:

“Well, no one likes this result. This result is not what we are looking for. It’s always hard to achieve anything other than when you don’t have the result. I thought we had another great week of training. Our execution.” It’s just not good enough for me, and that’s the most frustrating thing for me, the thing I care about most. It’s frustrating, but we have to find a way to respond and get better.

If he feels his chances as a head coach have dwindled:

“I really don’t see it that way. Maybe you see it that way from an outside perspective, and you’re right. I can’t deal with it at the moment. I have to practice this last week, let’s say. “Step back and then assess the whole thing and from there I can’t worry too much about the guys in the locker room. That’s what I’m worried about. I’m mad for her.
