The Las Vegas Raiders struggled on both sides of the ball in their inaugural game under head coach Pete Carroll. Las Vegas was able to salvage a tie against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, but the game left plenty to be desired and addressed over the following week.
On offense, the team particularly struggled with blocking. The second unit was unable to pave any lanes for the rushing attack or keep defenders out of the backfield when O'Connell dropped back to pass.
Carroll and general manager John Spytek have already turned over a portion of the Raiders' roster, and Carroll's history indicates that he will make plenty of transactions in his first year at the helm.
