- McDaniels is nursing a grudge for Renfrow’s fumble against the Cardinals last season that resulted in the game-winning TD in OT and capped their comeback; that was the first major embarrassment on McDaniels’ record during his tenure here, and he’s petty enough to hold that against Renfrow despite the fact that the latter got concussed on that hit and was already playing hurt.
- McDaniels has become bored of using the scrappy white slot receiver concept, even though numerous guys were at their best when he coached in New England (Welker and Edelman are obvious ones, but can’t forget Amendola and Chris Hogan).
- McDaniels is so obsessive about his “perfect offensive scheme” that he’s elected to not use Renfrow since the latter’s freestyle moves are too flashy.
- Looping back to pettiness, Renfrow was likely loyal to Carr before he was traded, so McDaniels is salty about that… this may be bleeding over into how Davante is being used this year as well.
- McDaniels played wideout at John Carroll in college, so he sees himself in Renfrow. But because he never amounted to much there, he’s jealous/envious of Renfrow’s success at both Clemson and in the NFL.
- McDaniels is a sociopathic doughboy idiot who cannot coach to save his life.
Can anyone else think of something not covered here?
#6 is definitely on the money
7. Our QB is not Tom Brady and so JMD actually has no idea what to do
“McDaniels is a sociopathic doughboy idiot who cannot coach to save his life.”
And, we have a winner!
Not only does Josh McDaniels need to get fired.
He needs to get the fuckin shit kicked out of him, too.
My theory is Hunter will be featured on MNF. As if the Raiders want to show the league he still has it so they can trade him right after
Won’t see more than 3 targets.
3 influenced by 2, due to 6.
Feels like we need extra TE to run block and defences are more speed oriented than ever, plus our QB situation. Its not like there aren’t reasons he can draw on.
I don’t subscribe to any of those. I am sticking with my hypothesis that “McD insisted Renfrow run precise routes and Renfrow is not able to get good separation in that manner” until someone writes the book.
THIS
Renfrow’s rookie season Gruden wanted him to run a certain way AND HE SUCKED, so Renfrow said f this I’m not gonna last in the league, and ran routes how he’s good at and started playing well.Watch Renfrow on the field he runs like a robot, they’re limiting his ability
Renfrow isn’t one of “his guys.”
Week 2 last year, the fumble for 6 to lose in the OT that never should’ve been.
Josh is petty.
Offense is playing like ass right now it’s a struggle even getting our TEs involved consistently. So of course it’s hard to get Renfrow who’s WR 3 involved.
It’s number 3. I saw a video where Hunter talked about how he was struggling under Gruden and he decided to start doing his own thing even though Gruden wasn’t happy initially. It worked out in the end. McD probably doesn’t want this at all, assuming Hunter isn’t struggling in some other way with this offense or with his production. Jimmy’s lack of vision isn’t helping and since Myers has taken over the #2 spot, there are less opportunities for Renfrow.
I’m sorry but the other reasons seem ridiculous and I’m guessing this was partly sarcastic.
It’s interesting to me how we say Josh mcdaniels can’t scheme well at all, when there is film showing open players so often. Then we complain the qb can’t find the open man and hit him in the plays shown. Like which is it? Can he not scheme or is the qb just not good. I feel like you can’t see open people on film constantly then say he can’t scheme people open lol. Honestly he’s probably just bad at teaching his offense which has shown to get people open.
Hunter definitely ate his grapes
