Jackson ‘not happy' with defensive scheme vs. Detroit

ALAMEDA -- While fans are calling for the head of Oakland defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan following the Raiders' collapse Sunday against Detroit -- the Lions scored two touchdowns in the last seven-plus minutes of the game, including a breathtaking 98-yard drive sans a timeout to pull out the 28-27 victory -- coach Hue Jackson was taking a more diplomatic approach.I asked Jackson if he was happy with the defensive scheme, especially in the fourth quarter, during his weekly media conference. Jackson smiled, almost sadly, as if he knew the question was coming."You know, obviously when you lose you're never happy," Jackson said. "I am not happy with what we did on offense. I am not happy with what we did on defense or special teams. I am not going to just single out the defense."We have to score more points on offense, too, to not put those guys in that situation. We have to make the 3rd-down-and-(three) so that we're not having this conversation. That being said, we also have to make those plays on defense too. I think some guys had some chances, we just didn't make them. I know that's hard to believe, because guys had chances to make plays."What has many observers scratching their heads was not necessarily the call to put the Raiders in a "Tampa-2" zone defense during the Lions' game-winning drive, which took all of 95 seconds. But going into that defense with the limited personnel at the Raiders' disposal.Would you want the lumbering Rolando McClain dropping 40 yards deep into coverage on Calvin Johnson with the middle linebacker depending upon the inexperienced Jerome Boyd to come over the top on Megatron?That's what happened, what with Michael Huff inactive due to a strained hamstring.And while Matthew Stafford launched a ball that hung in the air like a Shane Lechler punt, neither McClain nor Boyd made a play on the ball; they both made plays on Johnson, who came back to the underthrown pass and caught it from his keister for a 48-yard pickup to the Oakland 13-yard line as both Raiders looked on."When you don't make (plays), everything gets magnified," Jackson said. "We need to do a better job all the way around."
