The passing game was smooth and efficient on the first drive. Campbell looked to be on his way to a nice day until a fumble on the next drive and a season ending collarbone injury the following drive after that. He was 6/9 for 52 yds on most likely his last day as the Raiders QB. DHB is continuing to mature having another solid day catching 6 for 82 yards. And Ford caught three for 43 yds. Boller started off poor but picked it up a little as the game went on. But for the most part understandibly looked like he wasn't on the same page with the receiving corps and couldn't sustain a drive.
Pass Offense C-
McFadden had a solid day picking up 91 on the ground including a first quarter TD on 20 carries. Bush did well in his new role as closer converting on short yardage situations other than a big 4th and short in the 4th quarter. Tonga got a first down on his first career NFL carry but all in all it was an unspectacular although efficient and while controlling the clock.
Rush Offense C+
The run defense had another solid week in a row shutting down the Browns ground game and holding them to only 65 yards on 21 carries for an average of 3ypc. Outstanding in every aspect and it's very promising to see the run defense pick it up these past two weeks.
Run Defense A+
Colt McCoy was pressured and knocked around all game completing only 46 percent of his passes for 215 yards. Giordano had a good day recording a sack and having another big hit on McCoy. Houston also picked up a sack on the day. A pretty good day for the Pass D despite giving up two TD's.
Pass Defense B-
Special teams carried the team for the second week in a row. Ford scored on an electrifying 101 yard kickoff return and had a solid 37 yard return on his other try. Jano put a 48 yard FG through the uprights, while Lechler put two punts inside the 20. Shane also a TD pass to Boss on a bold fake FG call. The return coverage was solid with the only real blemish was Cribbs 31 yard punt return.
Special Teams A
Hue Jackson did a pretty good job considering losing Campbell in the first quarter. He did make a head scratcher of a call in the 4th though going for it on 4th down instead of kicking a FG which would've put the Browns behind by three scores. Bres called a great game on D dialing up blitzes, keeping Colt McCoy on his back most of the game, and shutting down the Browns rushing game.
Coaching C+
