One hint you don’t mention is Adam’s “late hands” technique which is devastating to the guys covering him, since they don’t have a clue when the ball is arriving to make a play on it.
Yea i noticed this too. Its a tough move to perfect but is a great way to secure the catch against tight, elite coverage. Most WRs slow the hands while running for the last second befote making a move to catch a deep ball, but adams sells it by keeping his hands chopping like hes still running full speed and keeping his head in one spot. Then...*Boop*...he throws the handa out for the catch in the last 0.2 seconds possible, when the ball is already right on top or passed the corner.
@@tv26889 This is a silly thought. Jefferson couldnt hold adams jock on release and footwork. He makes highlight plays and has a healthy adam thielen on the other side. Adams has been 1 manning it with nobwaller or renfrow most of the year. And has 7 straight 100 yd games. Nevah evah been done before. Jefferson will flame out like OBJ before long. More hype and flash than legitimate devotion to the game.
@@richardwhite6062 That is an awful take. Adam's strength is his hop step (release) and ability to find the soft spot in zone coverage. Jefferson's strength is his route technique and speed. Look at his footwork, it's a work of art. They both have great hands like any top 3 WR should but JJettas is better than Adams imo because he has more routes to his arsenal.
This channel is so insightful. I have been a huge football fan my entire life, but I have learned much more about the sport and have grown a much greater passion for football thanks to your videos. This sport is so intricate/complex-it is incredible. The littlest details completely change games. I have a completely different perspective while watching games because of your analysis. Thanks for these great videos, Alex. Cheers!
Thank you so much for giving us raiders fans some positive content about this years team. Your videos are always very good about taking a honest unbiased viewpoint. You do a great job as well in teaching the people football terms and techniques without going over our heads !!!
Great work, as always! I think Davante might just be the best and definitely the most unique receiver in his release off the line. And his late hands on the grab just last week vs. Rams made him borderline indefensible, even if he can't expand the separation with pure speed.
You just showed us the next Randy Moss, so might as well do one on the next Dione. Tariq Woolen of Seattle. IIRC - 4.25 speed, 6' 5" and a wingspan the width of the football field. Oh, and due to these God given assets, a ball hawk too!
@@TInanatos My condolences. There's usually a reason. Think of the war room in Moneyball. Some coaches/scouts have outlandish logic such as "he's got an ugly girlfriend so his confidence must be low!"
I was praying my Chargers would take Woolen. I liked him over Stingley and even Gardner cuz of his crazy speed. Luckily our other corners like ASJ, Callahan, ane Davis have been doing well. Still sad about not getting him though.
I don't disagree with that but everytime a receiver comes to the raiders they always play better davante Adams was on pace to have more yards then last season and he already have more TD this season then last season
3 unique players, 3 Skillsets, 3 different results. Devante is a clinic in technique, Jefferson is a prime example of Dominant physical specimen, and Tyreek is special for . . .umm . . . i forget . . rhymes with Rita. Wait, I got it . .Tortilla! :) Hill's got potential to be the first 2000 yarder of these 3, with his RAC, but that all depends on Tua being able to get him the ball.
@@terry7907 hackett is bottom 20 in every category GB at least gotta top 12 rushin offense and is ahead of the broncos in every offensive statistic so where’s the foundation of your argument goofy?
Hey Alex, I'm a fan, watch all your stuff, subscribed; etc. First off, great vid as always. Davante is indeed that dude, the brightest note in the Raiders' sad season. Second, thanks for that recent Justin Herbert vid, which answered a LOT of questions for me between my eye test on him (he's phenomenal) and what is happening with the Chargers (meh). Third.... My fave vid of yours from last year was one on a player I like on a team I don't: Trevon Diggs. Best analysis I came across of his crazy season, clarified things for me. I'm not gonna suggest another vid on him for this year, but can you answer a question? Is it me, or have teams just flat out stopped throwing at him this year? Has he improved as much as my eye test tells me? Cause it seems to me he's actually playing way better, but I could be wrong. Ah fuck it, Alex will probably not even read this. Any one else? Thoughts?
Same here. His account is the only one worth watching, even including any sports program on espn, fssports, nfl netwrk etc. Alex breaks down the Xs and Os of the game, everyone else is just opinion based arguments.
And as a charger fan myself, all i watch are charger games and ive been calling out EVERYTHING that alex brought up in the herbert vid and it made me so happy to see his validation of the charger conundrum, and while all espn sport analyst ACTORs say that herbert sucks cause he isnt winning. For charger fans, its so easy to see the difference in offense from last year to this year. Colin cowherd had a take on the chargers earlier in the season that was proven by alex rollins. It was like colin knew theres something wrong with their offense and scheme but doesnt know the game well enough to explain, and alex rollins video explained what he was saying and how he felt.

We didn’t need Adams! We needs to use his resources for an actual team. This transaction has NOT translated to wins… so regardless of stats it’s a loss! This is not a reflection on Adams as a star player… it’s just a bad team move!
If a team "features" a player, WR/TE/RB and targets them 12-15X a game they BETTER have some impressive numbers. Almost all teams have their "star" for this reason.
Excellent breakdown. It's funny you mention moss. And who did Moss Play for, the pats. Who was his qb, Brady. Could McDaniels be building the offense for Brady in 2023?
@@palmtrees2420 I’m not a raiders fan, but I did see a lot of their games this year and Waller wasn’t the problem. I do remember people being mad because it was taking a while for him to heal, but when he did play, the schemes weren’t in his favor until recently. Either way, he’s effective enough to spread the defense and allow Adams the space he needs to blow up.
Adam's is a "Freak". Gets my 2nd pick behind Hurts for MVP. Guys so deceiving in his routes,has Defensive backs and Corners having too bring their very best facing him each series. Getting "Burned" by Adam's pretty much like getting hurt Bull Riding.Its not when,but how "Bad".
I know this is a what if and a big one, But what if we won all those one score games, we would be a contender. And without 2 of our offensive starsBut currently this team cannot close out games for the life of them, the patriots beat themselves with that last play, but I guess it’s all perspective
Jerry Rice used to practice catching bricks to build his hands up, cause catching bricks made a football much easier to catch no matter how hard and fast it's coming. Just saying,
So what didn't you show all the bombs Rodgers threw to him over 15 or 20 yards? Trust me GB did not just use him in the low. & for you to say. He's having his best season......Then post or talk about all his stats.

I think it’s so interesting that even though the raiders are a trash fire right now davante Adam’s is still tearing it up. I’m happy for him
And I think he have better stats then he did last year going into week 15
It’s not even Adams alone who is playing at an all-pro level, we got jacobs and Crosby tearing it up as well.
The Raiders figured out things too late
@@BigBroKuma I agree they absolutely did
@@BigBroKuma has nothing to do with figuring it out. waller and renfrow were both out
He has given the run game a boost because the safety has to focus on him constantly

AJ Brown too.
Hill just a one trick pony, even tho that trick is awesome.

@@raider_reaper_4194 Not really
Great job with the break down.
❤ that DC ➡️ DA connection!!
I wonder what Adams could do with a good play caller.
Imagine he was on a team that could execute
Insert the end of his packers tenure lol
Could be good on a team like GB, that Aaron guy needs a WR
@@UncleRicoIsYourDaddy15 That would help to. But with that coaching there is only so much a player can do.
MCDANIELS IS A GOOD PLAY CALLER
I been waiting for a raiders video for so long thank you😭
great video. happy for davante, miss him on the packers. HOF at this rate.
Happy for tae I hope he continues to have a great career in Vegas, miss him in GB tho
i HOPE HE NEVER SEES THE PLAYOFFS AGAIN.
dude seriously i have to say thank you for not putting the ad in the beginning of the video
You just showed us the next Randy Moss, so might as well do one on the next Dione.
Tariq Woolen of Seattle. IIRC - 4.25 speed, 6' 5" and a wingspan the width of the football field. Oh, and due to these God given assets, a ball hawk too!
Bruh and the cardinals passed on him 3 whole times! 4 if you count the Hollywood trade. Made me unbelievably angry
@@TInanatos My condolences. There's usually a reason. Think of the war room in Moneyball. Some coaches/scouts have outlandish logic such as "he's got an ugly girlfriend so his confidence must be low!"
I would take the SAUCE over Woolen. At least this year.

@@palmtrees2420Liked him over Sauce? Cmon now
That’s some serious detail. Much appreciated 🙏🏽
1:54 I wish the Packers had a line that could/could've protected like that
Me too man 😔
Can you do a video on 2007 Randy Moss?
I doubt they had all 22 footage like today
Tae is simply the GOAT 🐐
This year is proof that Davante Adams makes *ANY* QB that throws passes to him look better.
I don't disagree with that but everytime a receiver comes to the raiders they always play better davante Adams was on pace to have more yards then last season and he already have more TD this season then last season
DC has had a great connection with Davante even before he got here so you can’t really say that but Davante is def a beast
Honestly not this season, You can tell Carr is learning a new offense.
Aaron Rodgers taught him well lol
Not even surprised devante is a monster route runner and can get open.
Vikings fan here but its very difficult to not call Devante the best in the game still. Its very close between Devante, Jefferson, and Hill.

@@IGI_Media I think Jefferson has the most YAC in the nfl. He’s the closest to 2k
Alex doesn't like Justin Jefferson because he's arrogant. So don't expect him to acknowledge Jefferson is the best receiver this year. Which he is.
Mike - You can't even spell his name right,
This just shows how bad Mat Lafleur is as a head coach. He joins McCarthy as the best coach at wasting a talented roster.
McCarthy you right but the Lafleur take is literally u sounding drunk ash
“He joins McCarthy as the best coach at wasting a talented roster “. 😂. Hackett beats them both, hands down.

On that first play breakdown against JAX, carr still threw it too late despite it being an option.
Raiders are going to be watching the playoffs at home
If a team "features" a player, WR/TE/RB and targets them 12-15X a game they BETTER have some impressive numbers. Almost all teams have their "star" for this reason.
Still the 1 WR in the NFL in my eyes but you could Definetly argue JJettas
Hope he enjoys going 8-9 in Vegas for years to come!
What is your intro music?
I picked him in the 3rd round
Davante running 4.5 is like Henry running 4.5, both guys are faster now and their speed is much different than 40 speed
Davante is ridiculous. Still sad he left Green Bay and it sucks they’ve had such a bad season in Oakland but god damn he’s still so ridiculous
I think it's great the Raiders are doing poorly.
Excellent breakdown. It's funny you mention moss. And who did Moss Play for, the pats. Who was his qb, Brady.
Could McDaniels be building the offense for Brady in 2023?
McDaniels is an amazing offensive play caller, but an awful coach. The result is Adams is having a phenomenal season while the team sucks.
Nah some of McDaniels play calling is trash
His quarterback is shit
Jamar Jefferson enters chat
Many people said his numbers would drop because he took a huge step down with the QB throwing him the ball. Oops
Well at least he doesn't have to play more than 17 games now.
You can see how great he made Rodgers
If the Raiders had a healthy Waller and Renfrow through this season, Adams would be leading the NFL this year in receiving yards.
Raider fans were talking mad shit on Waller all season saying he's been playing bad when he was healthy.
