Jnc: on Raiders fans in here getting excited about Trestman being the OC. You obviously didn't watch his play calling this if if you are excited. Enjoy his ineptitude, his constant screen plays, refusing to run with a top 4 RB, and inability to adapt to defenses changing the playstyle.
It's mostly because his name isn't Greg Olson or Greg Knapp lol
Nah, but I like Trestman, liked him when he was our OC back in 2003, during our SB run, (tho he wasn't the playcaller) I thought he would do better with the Bears and I really don't think he was the problem there.
I think his scheme is a perfect fit for Derek Carr, fast efficient west coast concepts and quick timing routes that Carr excels at, lots of motions and crossing routes, and I love that he gets the FB involved, since we happen to have a very good one. I don't mind the screens either since they are well designed and he always finds ways to get the OL to the 2nd level.
And also, like Officerrob said, many HCs do better when they go back to being coordinators. I think he'll do good things if he comes here.
