Auto accident involving two cars on a city street
Sad news;Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce involved in a motor accident……..
Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce has been involved in a motor accident. Further details about the incident, including his condition and any other individuals involved, have not yet been released. The team and fans are anxiously awaiting updates on his well-being.
However, the choice isn’t straightforward, not because both quarterbacks excelled, but because neither truly outshone the other, which remained evident in Saturday night’s game.
O’Connell had a slightly better performance overall, but just when it seemed like he might secure the starting role over Minshew, who struggled more than the previous week, O’Connell threw a costly pick-six on his final pass, epitomizing the back-and-forth nature of the competition.
“It’s tough,” O’Connell said about the interception, according to ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez. “Throwing picks is always hard, but having it as the last play really stings.
That one will stick with me, but it’s part of football. You learn, move on, and I won’t let it happen again.”
After the game, Pierce expressed his disappointment with the overall performance of both quarterbacks during preseason Week 2 and throughout the offseason.
“I think everyone wants to see a player step up and claim the job,” Pierce said. “Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened, so we’ll make a decision, stand by it, and support our quarterback moving forward.”
Pierce will now review all the information from OTAs, minicamp, training camp, and the preseason games, consulting with offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and general manager Tom Telesco before finalizing his choice.
“I’ll look at everything – command of the offense, efficiency, and especially turnovers – taking care of the football is crucial for us,” he said. “Then I’ll discuss it with Telesco and Luke over the next few days to determine who can give us the best start to the season.”
The challenge is that the competition is evenly split, so more factors will need to be considered. Given that both quarterbacks are nearly equal, the Raiders might lean towards O’Connell, the younger player, who could be a long-term solution as he enters his second season.
Ultimately, after what we’ve seen, no decision the Raiders make would be surprising.
