Raiders Week 16 Ballers & Busters vs Chargers

Buster – RT Brandon Parker

Parker got his third start in a row for the Raiders and once again was out of his depth. On the third Raiders possession, Parker gave up a sack on Carr that put them in 3rd and 16 and killed the drive. He gave up another sack on the next possession that put them in 3rd and 13 where he gave up a big hit on Carr that forced him to get rid of the ball well short of the first down marker. Two sacks and a QB hit in four possessions and Parker was benched for David Sharpe. Finally.

In case you’re wondering where the rest of the Busters are, there are no more. Just one Buster this week. Others made mistakes, but they either weren’t egregious or they made up for them with positive plays. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone.
