The Raiders’ $100 million offense finally became the team’s weak point this year, and Davante Adams explained this week why the season played out the way it did.Appearing on Two G’s podcast, Adams said the scheme Josh McDaniels brings to the Raiders requires an elite quarterback to be “nickel and dime” and consistently “hit on all cylinders.”
“We lacked the consistency offensively to be a playoff caliber team. I definitely had the pieces. I think next year will be a new year. The system itself made it difficult for us to succeed. Have Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers come in and consistently hit on all cylinders. This crime is a penny crime…I think we could have done a lot better given the staffing situation we were in, but the plan itself set us back a bit.
I worked with him, but not always the best. “I think we’ll be able to open a different version of our team next year with a slightly different offensive scheme combined with our personnel.”It will be interesting to see who Antonio Pierce hires to take over the Raiders offense next.
According to a report from NFL Network on Friday, Pierce won’t be leaving many offensive coaches on McDaniels’ staff, and one of the names linked to the Raiders is former Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury.
