ALAMEDA Johnathan Abram Jersey 2019 , Calif. (AP) ¡ª After taking a career-high seven sacks behind a decimated Oakland Raiders offensive line, Derek Carr got a phone call from someone who knows just what that¡¯s like to being repeatedly hit by bruising NFL defensive linemen.Big brother David, who was sacked an NFL-record 76 times in 2002, offered some words of consolation.¡°It¡¯s not that bad,¡± Derek Carr said Wednesday. ¡°It¡¯s not that bad, my guys are awesome. The thing about him is there were times where they would have the right guys blocked, they just physically couldn¡¯t do it. At least our guys fight, we have that going for us. He did mess with me a little bit, but no, it¡¯s not like, ¡®Oh man, how do you deal with this or that?¡¯ It¡¯s not like that at all.¡±The situation in Oakland definitely isn¡¯t on the level it was for the expansion Houston Texans, but it¡¯s been a major drop-off from the solid protection Carr earned for most of his first four seasons.Carr has already been sacked 24 times halfway through the season for the Raiders (1-7), a mark he has topped only once in an entire season in his first four seasons. His sack rate has doubled from 3.9 percent of pass plays his first four years ¡ª lowest in the NFL among players with more than 25 starts during that span ¡ªto 7.8 percent this year and he¡¯s facing pressure at a much higher rate than he has in the past.¡°It¡¯s hard Cheap Johnathan Abram Jersey , there¡¯s sometimes it¡¯s gotten that way and it¡¯s not a knock on those guys,¡± Carr said. ¡°They¡¯re trying their tail off. We have some young guys trying to play, we have our veteran guys who dominate and they¡¯re great players, but we have some young guys that are just getting their feet wet against the best players in the world.¡°It¡¯s not easy for them. For me, I¡¯ve always been one, I try to make it seven-on-seven as much as you can. There¡¯s never a time where you¡¯re ever looking down, you just try and feel things, move and make throws. You try and do it and as it¡¯s happening you don¡¯t notice it until you turn the film on like, ¡®Oh, we can maybe adjust this or adjust that¡¯ kind of a thing.¡±Injuries on the line have played a big role with right tackle Donald Penn being placed on injured reserve following a Week 4 win against Cleveland. Rookie Brendan Parker has struggled since replacing Penn and had to be pulled for part of the game last week against the 49ers.Rookie left tackle Kolton Miller also hurt his knee in that game against the Browns and has been in and out of the lineup. He has been hampered even when he has played and came out against the 49ers because the injury got too bad. The Raiders averaged more than 11 yards a play in the first six plays against San Francisco before the offense sputtered after Miller first got hurt.The situation at left guard also hasn¡¯t been good with Kelechi Osemele missing time with a knee injury and backup Jon Feliciano bothered by injured ribs.The decimated line has hampered the play-calling and Carr did not complete a single pass more than 10 yards downfield in losses to Seattle and San Francisco the past three games. He was sacked 13 times combined in those games.¡°No doubt it affects him,¡± coach Jon Gruden said. ¡°It affects any quarterback. ¡­ I¡¯m not going to make any excuses. I think Derek is doing some good things. It does make things difficult when you have the amount of injuries that we have had.¡±NOTES: Miller practiced with a brace on his right knee. ¡­ DT Eddie Vanderdoes (knee) could return for the game against Arizona on Nov. 18. ¡­ DT Justin Ellis (foot) could return to practice next week.Raiders preseason week three snap counts vs Packers: Doug Martin finally gets extended work with not great results It was a surprise last week when Doug Martin was among those who didn¡¯t dress against the Rams. Some thought he was in a competition for a roster spot. There was plenty of evidence to suggest his roster spot was secure, and sitting out that game with Marshawn Lynch was arguably the most glaring proof of that.Last week offensive coordinator Greg Olson said Martin and Lynch would get ¡®a couple thuds¡¯ in the game and then be pulled. Lynch ended up getting no ¡®thuds¡¯ while Martin got 6 of them on 16 snaps.Prior to these 16 snaps, Martin had seen a total of four snaps this preseason. Four. With just one carry for three yards. That¡¯s right at his yard per carry average the past two seasons. How that earns starter treatment is a bit of a mystery. But Gruden is convinced.¡°He¡¯s showed us a lot,¡± Gruden said of Martin. ¡°We think he¡¯s a really good back.¡±What he¡¯s shown Gruden has been all in practice. When defenders aren¡¯t allowed to tackle to the ground. What he showed in his 20 preseason snaps hasn¡¯t quite as convincing.Martin has run the ball 7 times for 27 yards (3.8 ypc). He broke out left untouched in the game Friday night for a 16-yard gain. His carries between the tackles left you a bit concerned. They went for 3 Quinton Bell Oakland Raiders Jersey , 3, 0, 0, 3, and 2 yards (1.8 yards per carry). We are going to need to see more. Even if Gruden doesn¡¯t.Snap counts:Preseason week three snap countsOffenseDefenseSpecial Tms (select)OffenseDefenseSpecial Tms (select)Notes:Derek Carr and the first team offensive skill position players saw one series before exiting the game.The first team offensive line stayed on the field when Connor Cook entered for the second series. They played into the second quarter as Gruden said they would.Seth Roberts had missed the first two preseason games with an undisclosed injury. Presumably to make up for lost time, Roberts led all Raiders players on either side of the ball in snaps (51) playing 73% of the offensive snaps. Despite his extended playing time, Roberts saw just one target and it fell incomplete. It was a shot at the end zone from short yardage that EJ Manuel overthrew. Two other targets were nullified by penalties.Shilique Calhoun led all Raiders players in total snaps with 48 on defense (63%) and 13 on special teams (50%). In that time, he had one sack, 2 tackles for loss, and 2 QB hits.Johnny Holton played 17 snaps on special teams (74%), but didn¡¯t see a snap on offense.Donald Penn played 20 snaps (29%) in his debut at right tackle. See a breakdown of rough outing here.Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was signed this week and played nine snaps in the game (12%).Follow @LeviDamien
