Oakland Raiders - Keys To Win? O-Line Blocking and Defense

The Oakland Raiders finally won a game, and just in time for a visit by the hated Pittsburgh Steelers. What were the keys to the win? The offensive line and the defense.

The offensive line finally used a different blocking technique -- they didn't retreat! They stood up and blocked their assignments. Yes, there were some sacks, but far fewer hurries and pressures than we've seen this season. Plus, there was slightly more formation variation.

Now I'm still not sold on the offense entirely, but they're taking steps in the right direction. I'd still replace Tom Walsh, however.

Hire Hue Jackson.
