Las Vegas Raiders OC Mick Lombardi Week

HENDERSON, Nev.--The word debacle is not too strong of a word to describe the Las Vegas Raiders (0-3) 24-22 lo s to the Tenne see Titans (1-2) on Sunday. After OC Mick Lombardi reviewed the film of the game, he gave his analysis and looked ahead to this week's opponent, the Denver Broncos.You can watch the entire pre s conference below, and read the transcript:Offensive Coordinator Mick Lombardi Q: Can you put your finger on the i sues in the red zone?Coach Lombardi: "We're getting down there in the red area, which is a good thing. We just got to do a better job finishing drives, and I think the balance that we have on offense needs to continue down there. We got to do a better job executing and then do Scott Stevens Men Jersey a better job of putting those players in a position to execute. So, when we get down there, we can't fall behind in down distance, can't have any penalties. And then we obviously have to execute the small, little details of that area of the field. Whether that's run or pa s, we got to try to make sure everybody does their job, and we execute the best play po sible. And then again, it comes down to four-point plays. I think Coach McDaniels talked about that here moving forward the other day, is when you get down there it's third and goal at the four, you don't get it, you kick a field goal difference of four points. So, we got to make sure we focus on the four-point plays moving forward and make sure we're ready to go for those. If we can improve on those, I think we'll see improvement in the red zone."Q: When it comes to execution in the red zone, are you seeing any players that are lacking efficiency in that area?Coach Dalton Prout Jersey Lombardi: "I think that's any play, really. When you go back and grade the film, you look at each play as it happens and you wish a certain guy used a different technique, or wish a guy maybe executed a play a little better, whether thats mental or physical. And that could be for any play in football. You're really searching for that perfect play and when you have those perfect plays, which we had some good ones, and everybody did their job and did it consistently you saw some special things happen. We're going to keep trying to make sure that happens on a play-to-play basis and happen more consistently. It's not going to happen for 65 plays straight, I've yet to see that happen in football. But we're going to try to make sure that happens more consistently."Q: What does Tyron Johnson have to do to get reps?Coach Lombardi: "T. Johnson has done a good job in camp, he obviously made the team being on the practice squad last year. He's really accepted the role as being a backup receiver on gameday. And just the way the cards have been dealt in terms of how the game's going, he hasn't been getting on the field a little bit. He obviously produced a lot in the preseason. I think the biggest thing for him is just making sure that he comes in and making sure he knows what to do, how to do it, and then consistently show that on the practice field, which he's done a good Graeme Clarke Men Jersey job of, and his opportunity will come. I coached a young guy by the name of Jakobi Meyers in New England, and he was inactive for two games and then didn't play until there was an injury, and his role as a reserve receiver was to come in there and produce. He obviously did that in New England back in 2020, and he never let go. So, I think for young guys like that who have that opportunity, it's when does the opportunity come? We don't know. But if he has some opportunities this week from his practice performance, then he'll get them."Q: When Davante Adams is being double-teamed 90 percent of the time, what do you have to do to get him involved more?Coach Lombardi: I think as a coaching staff, and as a whole entire unit, I think we have to make sure we put our players in the best chance to be succe sful, and that's everybody. So, there's different ways we can try and use Davante, whether its different ways we can use Mack Hollins, or different ways to attack the running game, we're going try and do it week-to-week. The proce s has begun now for Denver, so we're trying to look and see what Denver does. They are obviously a very talented group. They have a lot of skilled players, they're coached very well, they play very hard. I think they're ranked very high in the league in terms of all statistics, in terms of defense. They get the ball out on people. So, as you go into each week, 'Hey, where can we put certain guys and make production?' And that's what well do with every player."Q: How crucial has it been to the offense for Mack Hollins to step up and play the way that he has?Coach Lombardi: Mack Hollins has done a very good job. Something that he's done a good job of when he first got here, he's taken ownership. He wasn't here last year. He wasn't here in the Michael Mcleod Jersey system and he's a new player that's building. He's a phenomenal human being, first of all. He works extremely hard, and he takes a lot of ownership in terms of making sure he does his job every play. When those opportunities come like we talked about with Tyron T. Johnson, he takes advantage of them. So, he's done a very good job of that."Q: Is Mack Hollins an example of a player that's dialed in on every play?Coach Lombardi: "Yes, no doubt. He's takes it serious, he takes the job serious. I enjoy working with him. 100 percent. I mean, he's a true joy. I Nico Hischier Women Jersey can't say enough about the person. He's phenomenal. And the way he goes about his work, his work ethic, he's here early, he stays late, and he makes sure everything is taken care of before each day. And then his routine on gamedays, routine before the game, it's really remarkable. I commend him for the job he's done."Q: What flexibility does Hunter Renfrow add to the offense when hes on the field and healthy?Scroll to ContinueCoach Lombardi: Obviously Hunter has been a starter for us, and we obviously mi sed him with the injury last week, and we'll see what his status is this week moving forward. But he obviously is a receiver on the field that can go in there and do some things in terms of the pa sing game and then help out on the running game. But Keelan Cole stepped up and played his job, that's another example of opportunity. Whoever's out there to play, we're going to make sure that we coach them up and make sure they can contribute to win."Q: Did you foresee this role in the offense for Mack Hollins? Coach Lombardi: I think that goes back to what Coach McDaniels used to say about his role is what he makes it. So, he came in here in training camp and he really focused on his craft. He always wants to improve, so whether it's coaching from Coach Edgar Bennett, coaching fr
