The Las Vegas Raiders offense has been the part of the team that is holding them back, not the defense like we thought. The defense hasn't been other-worldly, but they have been better than expected—the offense – much worse than expected.
When you have the weapons and pieces in place that the Raiders do, you can't help but be frustrated. That's exactly what it feels like with Davante Adams – not that his game is frustrating, but he is frustrated with how the offense is playing, in particular against his former team.
Adams was asked about what he can tell Jakobi Meyers, who is playing his former team, the New England Patriots, this week, to help him prepare. His answer makes it seem like he wasn't happy with how the offense played.
"My experience wasn't anything like what it was supposed to be, so it is what it is on that," Adams started. "We don't really talk too much about it. We treat everybody the same; everybody gets the same treatment we get out there regarding the attention we give them and the intensity we play with. So, it's not something that we're going to sit there and chop it up too much about. I mean, he played for them, I play for the Packers; it kind of is what it is."
The offense has been fine from Meyers' perspective. He seems to be Jimmy Garoppolo's favorite target, as the two played together in New England. Meyers has 12 fewer receptions than Adams in five fewer quarters of play, as he got injured early in the fourth against the Broncos and then missed the next week.
Adams will always have better stats because he is better. However, last week, the Packers definitely moved the ball around a bit more instead of just to those two. But how does that make the best player on the team feel?
"I mean, yes, cool, but I don't care," Adams continued. "If two people touch the ball and we score 50 points, I'd rather that than have 90 people touch the ball in the game and you go out, you can't score over 20 points."
But, at the same time, Adams has a point. The offense is doing far worse than it should be. The run game isn't there, and the passing game isn't as good as it should be. Adams risked coming to the team to see if he could win with the team he grew up rooting for, and so far, he has won just eight total games in 22 games.
Something has to change.
