Overview
- After a 33-16 Monday night loss to the Cowboys, multiple outlets report growing scrutiny on Pete Carroll and his staff, with special teams already seeing an in-season firing.
- Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team said the Raiders’ front office, including GM John Spytek, is expected to be kept intact, while coaching roles are being closely watched.
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler labeled Carroll a name to monitor given the roster’s rebuilding needs, and questions persist about play-caller Chip Kelly as the offense stagnates.
- The Raiders rank near the bottom in scoring, including a 31st-place mark of 15.5 points per game cited by Yahoo Sports, and they managed just 27 rushing yards against Dallas.
- Geno Smith’s turnover issues continue, with Bleacher Report noting he is tied for the league lead with 13 interceptions, even as Carroll publicly reaffirmed his confidence in the quarterback.
