Film Study: Raiders QB Aiden O’Connell SHINES Against The Chiefs

[@williemurphy2421]

SHOULD HAVE STAYED WITH OCONNELL FROM LAST YEAR. HE WAS GROWING AND STILL BETTER THAN MENSHEW. I SAID THIS MONTHS AGO.

[@donwalsh4445]

I SAID THAT WHEN THEY FIRST DRATED HIM

[@JEYA-nm4jl]

He should be our starter next year, I think he’s better than any quarterback in this draft,

[@raideralexofficial]

IMO you still need to draft one, QB competition is a good thing

[@raiders4life]

@JEYA-nm4jl I believe what your saying but we should still draft a Sheduer Sanders and bench him for atleast one year so he can prepare himself instead of rushing him into the league

[@pakk1]

I been saying it since last year look at past drafts most QB don’t make the cut even top picks so when u got QB who can play in the NFL YOU KEEP HIM LET HIM COOK

[@JEYA-nm4jl]

Just don’t wanna waste it first pick any of these quarterbacks to pick one up in the second like drew allar I’d be fine with that, but not in the first

[@dwhoop7045]

​@@JEYA-nm4jlpeople were doubting last year first round QB Jayden Daniels and Bo nix

[@jamesbuntin6755]

Start AOC, draft Sanders, offensive line, and keep the entire coaching staff. Great breakdown, thanks.

[@jm2206]

Cam Ward will be the better pro

[@DennisBreunig]

I think that ward has much stronger arm. He can fit throws into tight windows that sanders cannot make

[@bikinisforever4163]

Lots of money to get free agents too. Resign our most important defenders, plus get Aidan lots of help. Could be much better next year.

[@donwalsh4445]

we do not need sanders if we draft sanders then aoc will be someone else franchise qb

[@Dennis-sq2nm]

Sanders will be a Giant

[@davidmckenzie451]

He did great out for 5 weeks with a broken thumb and haven't thrown a ball

[@plutodestroyer12]

this was one of the most exciting days i’ve seen a raiders qb have in a good while i know that ain’t saying much but still. kids got a chance to earn serious money for this family.

[@elsalsero417]

Thank you for this video Folks, focus on couple things here.. 1) Aidan identifying mismatches in coverage. Kudos to the Turners for putting wrs in position to create mismatches. 2) while Aidan made a couple throws he wish he had back. (Under thrown or thrown late) Aidan made CORRECT reads. 3) being mobile and extending play. Also had a run taken back by a penalty. 4) tho he got sacked on third down, he didnt force the pass and throw a bad int. 5) his passes were ALL OVER THE FIELD. 6) did not have to take stupid timeouts, something derek carr is notorious known for. For those who say Aidan hit the ceiling already. You WERE WRONG. Aidan can still get better. Now needs to be CONSISTENT. Like i said in preseason, THE OLINE WOULD MAKE OR BREAK OUR SEASON. The Oline played its best game on Friday.

[@raideralexofficial]

Good takeaways here. Let’s see how AOC can build off of this

[@escipion01]

A solid QB makes life easier for the O-line and running backs, and vice versa. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved. AOC has been ballin’ out. His deep ball to TT for the TD against the Chiefs was straight fire, just like the ones he threw to him against the Chargers last year. And let's not forget that dime to Mayer against the Broncos. The dude is a QB1 for a reason. He reads defenses like a book and makes smart decisions. Our O-line is pretty much the same as it was last year, but it looks way better with AOC under center. He's a play-action wizard. Remember when Minshew was here? His game lacked depth. Davante saw the potential in AOC from the jump and he wasn't wrong. All we needed was a coach who would let him cook and tailor the playbook to his strengths. Getsy was all wrong for this guy. The Raiders took a huge step back when they hired Getsy and made Minshew the starter. Those decisions ultimately led to Davante Adams packing his bags and leaving.

[@elsalsero417]

@@escipion01 agree with almost everything you said. Except the OLINE. Last yr oline was better, if you can say that. This Oline consistently blew assignment after assignment. Center position was awful this year. As well as guard. Not forgetting about rt Not surprised it improved once jpj, DJ and Meredith took over. Coaching was bad this yr as it was under josh McDaniels.

[@DennisBreunig]

I am looking forward to see what the Turners can do for him the rest of this season. Up until now AO has had poor OCs and poor schemes/play calling. Norv did a great job with Aikman in Dallas

[@googalacticgoo]

Aiden looking like Derek Carr when DC has stellar games

[@donwalsh4445]

HOW DARE YOU COMPARE AOC WITH THAT WORTHLESS CARR

[@Robert-fs6ge]

We found that a ref calling false start at the snap means keep playing in case the ref changes the call afterwards

[@donwalsh4445]

only FORMULA 1 changes the rules on the last lap; 15 sec left in game

[@Nomadickiller]

i realize that it wasn't a false start

[@marklepe12]

AP is a clown for starting minshew over AOC. Dude is good considering the last two years. He has superstar potential

[@frankhernandez6883]

LETS NOT FORGET S McCORMICK

[@javierdeanda9958]

Sincere McCormick is a Dawgg ☠️

[@DennisBreunig]

Been calling for sincere since week 3. He is our best runner. But his pass pro needs lots of work which limits his snaps

[@Magesty923]

We've got our guy. Thank God. Diamond in the rough. Pierce has to go following this year.

[@nativeson756]

AOC Impressed me in this game👍🏻 Especially in the 2nd half when his 'Accuracy' started to 'Consistently' SHINE😉🤲🏻

[@turkfebz9037]

Draft hunter , start AOC next year , if he bombs get a QB the next year

[@pakk1]

I would prefer that then draft ing a QB

[@jb512]

This isn’t a great qb class. I guess the question is, is Sanders better than AOC

[@robertcerda92]

I agree 100%. I don't like any qb coming out.

[@kennethbate2778]

This 100! Qb class next year is much stronger

[@mikecontreras6974]

Really feel now - if AP stays, the the Turners stay is the best situation for you AO12. Now, go get him Hunter or McMillan or Jeanty and watch this offense become consistent

[@Hybridknfgrowchannel]

His anticipation is probably #1 in the nfl watching all qbs all year i haven't seen anything like that wow the ball placement he basically channeled his inner marino and said the perfect throw beats the perfect coverage like the 84 championship game that's the best game to use as an example

[@tuckerpark8988]

In my opinion he should be the starter the rest of this season.

[@miiiikee_]

#InFarvaWeTrust #AOC12 I'm saying, let the boy cook, he's got it in him to rise to the occasion.

[@raiderhype5742]

Man I was hoping JPJ throw hands with the ref

[@steveturner735]

Let this guy play out the season. If he's got good coaching, weapons and protection, this kid could be great. Nobody works harder.

[@joeperez4128]

It’s obvious that AOC should have been the starting quarterback from the beginning , but what you’re forgetting is Luke Getsy was calling the plays and was the reason the offense ended up regressing , with him as the OC we were at a significant disadvantage .. that said, AOC was in good form!!!

[@mattwaszak7016]

He was statistically better than Mahomes ON THE ROAD in Arrowhead. The fumbled snap was a bunch of mistakes coming together (Meyers lined up offsides, Carlson missed multiple kicks, him and OLine mixed up snap timing, etc.), but he took 100% of the responsibility. That's why he's the QB the team needs

[@DennisBreunig]

I liked what AO showed this week. The Turners are the only good OC's thst he has had with us. Norv did a great job with Aikman in Dallas. Want to see how he can help AO develop these last 5 games. If yoy recall Aikman was not a mobile QB either

[@TheKilliluminati]

Aikman had a HoF oline and rb tho

[@bikinisforever4163]

Next off-season, we have $108 million in cap space. We can resign all of our free agent defenders, plus get some upgrades for offense. Could be a lot better next year.

[@johnlandrigan6578]

This loss helps the QB pick in the draft. Great tanking for a team that are experts at tanking. Loved the late snap and the missed FGs

[@Annyxotwod]

I been saying AOC needed an OC and a couple of weapons around him and he can do great things. Regardless we need a QB and he would be a good backup.

[@javierdeanda9958]

Infamous Black Friday Ripoff Game ☠️

[@freakinrican3]

I saw a video where they said after the raiders spiked the ball, the play clock was only set to 25 sec. The play clock should only be set to 25 sec after a time out. Maybe that's why they were rushing to the line? Is that true with the rule and did that really happen. I'm not sure how to check that

[@gregoryblack196]

When you run the ball well you get clean pockets bc the D can't tee off. Last time we played the Chiefs we got 17 yds rushing. Total.

[@javierdeanda9958]

ya'll dont Remember Davante wanting AO12 , they chose Minshew & Davante said "im out' 🤷‍♂️

[@steveliciousrex]

We would have at least 6 wins right now if O'Connell started every game. Minshew lost at least 4 by himself with late drive turnovers.

[@TheOneJPtv]

The Bandit's mistakes come from lack of reps. Coach AP shoulda started him day one. He died on that hilll and it killed the season.

[@johnnyblaze8653]

At 4 min I liked the read but it looked like to me he was trying to throw behind meyers to avoid the hit from the safety and threw it way behind

[@gregoryblack196]

AOC could easily have had 3 interceptions in the first half and left a lot of points on the board with errant passes to wide open guys.

[@JEYA-nm4jl]

@@gregoryblack196 he has also missed the last five games with the broken thumb, a little bit rusty dude

[@gregoryblack196]

​@@JEYA-nm4jlOTOH he was graded out as worst accuracy in the NFL last year per Warren Sharp Football report July 29, 2024. So it's not new.

[@bigalsnow8199]

All O'Connor haters 😎, please identify yourself. Don't go jumping O'Connors bandwidth without admitting to and apologizing for your error.

[@KARMA-ok4yk]

😂fax

[@Skit-r4x]

He’s trash you guys only won 2 games and finding excuses on why you can’t win games while averaging 18.6 pts a game which is ranked 27th…this is y’all King?? Pathetic

[@bigalsnow8199]

@Skit-r4x SKIT-R 4X That's his moniker for now, folks. YO SKIT! I will speak with you after the season, sir. I'm writing down your title now. DON'T JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON YET.

[@gregoryblack196]

OL and OC are different now. AOC was bad in relief in Denver (44 passer rating). He dinked and dunked vs Steelers and when he tried to go deeper he got picked. Got intentional grounding vs Rams on the play he got injured.

[@steveliciousrex]

Yeah think about that...the refs called I.G. when the hand was tipped by the defender....that's not normally called....unless their wearing silver & black.

[@gregoryblack196]

​@@steveliciousrexI hear ya about the refs. But I happened to be at that game and it looked like grounding to me. The hit was after it left his hand.

[@enamelred]

It's a shame AP listened to Getsy and Telesco about Minshew. It's also a shame AOC didn't just take it during the off-season. AOC during his rookie campaign, really played well. He helped get AP hired. Raiders are improving and will play their best football in December. A lot of the Raiders failures this year are on what Luke Getsy did and how Gardner Minshew played. If the Raiders win out or go 3-1 down this stretch. Don't be surprised if AOC is given the keys and they draft Travis Hunter and get another QB in 2nd or 3rd round.

[@Phoguy24]

Nice break down bro but you always mention that he almost turn the ball over 😆 every qb almost turn the ball over 💯

[@peacefulrelaxation7885]

Missed 3 field goals Missed a 4th down conversation Had some cheap calls by the reffs Saw the running backs make a difference Other then that looked way better On offense Wanna say we missed out on 15 points

[@gregoryblack196]

The ball on busted coverage was way under thrown. Should have been a TD. And that next pass was turnover worthy, a miracle it got past McDuffie.

[@idmemo3942]

He needs to be able to run for a first down when the play breaks down and there is a ton of pressure. He needs some more mobility or else it will be his cryptonite.

[@themoffman1824]

O'cconnell is just like Carr.. and i said from the start. Raiders will win enough games to pick 13-15 and you wont be able to draft his replacement.

[@KasraOskuie]

Biggest mistake to go with Menshew this season. Should have allowed Aiden in to develop. He did great with what he had last year.

[@talkswithry2409]

Raiders gotta keep AOC, draft Travis Hunter, sign some free agents. Draft qb 2 to 3 round

[@gtbike8142]

Jacobi meyers should still be a patriot

[@JAfrmNorteCalifaz]

AOC,JM,Brock 🫡🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@billlumberg1043]

Don’t say it’s your boy 😢

[@davidson2004fatboy]

YEAH !!! HE WAS REALLY SHINING BRIGHTLY, WHEN HE GOT HIT IN the RIGHT SHOULDER BY POWERS JOHNSON'S UNCALLED FOR SNAP !!! I'M ALL EARS😴😴😒😒🤔🤔

[@snchilders]

I've been in Aiden's camp all season and think it's obvious that he turned his head when he heard the whistle from the sideline. We was robbed/

[@mind_haze2414]

Raiders are more then a QB away but you can’t pass up on sanders or ward tbh

[@oliverlopez2254]

AOC might be him 🤔

[@SizzelRizzel]

Scott might just be that guy

[@davidmazzini783]

The should have won that damn game,the Chiefs aren't the Juggernaut they once were (or pretended to be thanks to the Zebras)

[@adonijahmorningstar493]

Fire HC Pierce! Give the HC to Scott Turner and keep DC Patrick Graham. DO NOT select a QB in the draft!!! Get a lineman, linebacker or a receiver!!!

[@jakelong1205]

Ap made the wrong choice in starting menshew I support menshew but i knew AOC should have started and said this numerous times i liked him in college

[@vernoncockrell4067]

DE ANDRE HAWKINS WAS THE DifFERENCE AGAINST CHIEFS,IMHO.MADE Some BIg CATCHES BUT WE COULDA SIGNED HIM,NOT KC.BUT RAIDERS TO CHEEP AND NOW TUCKERS HURT.HOPKINS WOULDA BEEN A GOOD RAIDER.

[@samuelbrumfield100]

A.P. is a horrible Head Coach. He can't even grasp the obvious things.

[@lakernation5454]

I don't believe the hype of no Aiden O'Connell. This reminds me of last year, when he was performing pretty decent in meaningless games and raider fans was annointing this dude as Aiden O' Christ our Raider lord and savior. Got to this year, and couldn't even outduel Boogerchew for QB1. AOC sucks and is QB2 at best. Just lose out and go get our guy Shadeur Sanders💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥🔥

[@ez-nj9bf]

Done wit the aoc show he settles for field goals wayyyy too much well never win like that

[@ralphrodriguez1977]

Should of never signed minshew

[@mikesauce717]

Theres nothing 12 can do to secure tge qb job....last 10 starts 5 and 5....last five starts 10 tds no ints.....hes out and so is oc.....then we gonna hear we need continuity and brady picking new qb.......SET BACK AGAIN

[@johantrenier1685]

2-9 dude. Yes he can start. Dumbest fan base in the NFL.

[@nativeamericanpatriot2504]

Damn Raider way

[@theresaturner8340]

There is no W for shine the problem is the raiders only want to beat the chiefs they will back to raiders playing next week

WE HAVE our starter for 2025.....AOC 🏴‍☠🏴‍☠🏴‍☠🏴‍☠

[@hunglam1241]

stop complaining true Raiders fans. The game turns out perfect. We must think Shedeur Sanders.

[@joevitaleconstruction.704]

You probably need to draft a qb and sit him behind AOC for a year or two like packers do. What happened to our defense this year? Choked

[@nativeamericanpatriot2504]

To many injuries on D season ending injuries

[@Jonnnymadden-rnfl]

aoc is brady

[@American_Mike]

The Raiders need to draft Travis Hunter... NOT a QB

[@bigchief3917]

Love the NFL, not Raiders fan. I tell it as I see it. (2-10) Raiders at (10-1) Chiefs Got to give it to the Raiders they truly played their hearts out and as much as I really hate say this. Straight up, Raiders were truly the better team and the real winners of this game "if" it weren't for the Raiders 🤦‍♂️ "Center"who totally blew game winning field goal opportunity for the Raiders.
