"In the second half, we only ran two (running) plays," Penn revealed after the game. "We ran the same running play ten times in a row. We kept wearing them down with double teams. They knew it was coming. It didn't matter. That's when you take somebody's will."
According to Tice, the former Minnesota Vikings head coach who is one of the league's best teachers of offensive-line technique, that one play the Raiders trotted out on repeat mode was actually installed at halftime, as he, Musgrave and other assistants assessed what Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was throwing at them.
"It's a play our defense calls Crunch, an off-tackle run that Pittsburgh brought into the league way back when, and a whole lot of us have since stolen," Tice said. "It's basically a double-team -- center and guard, or guard and tackle, or tackle and tight end -- on one of their guys, depending upon what front they show. They tried to bring a couple of guys down low to pull us off the double team, which didn't surprise me, cause it was something Wade did to me when he was the head coach of Buffalo a long time ago.
"It didn't matter. We kept executing that play. We could have announced it. They knew it was coming."
Perhaps the NFL should have seen this coming when Jack Del Rio took over as the Raiders' head coach before the 2015 season and hired Tice, his former Vikings teammate and longtime coaching confidante, to oversee the offensive line. Give Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie credit for assembling a deep and physically imposing unit, built via the draft (right guard Gabe Jackson, a 2014 third-round pick, and right tackle Menelik Watson, a 2013 second-rounder) and free agency (Penn, signed in 2014; center Rodney Hudson, 2015; and left guard Kelechi Osemele, 2016).
