Bengals’ pass-rusher dominated Raiders
One of the final straws before Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce made major changes on the offensive coaching staff hours after a lopsided defeat at the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday was a dominating performance by Bengals’ pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson.
He had four sacks against the Raiders in the final game for James Cregg as the Raiders’ offensive line coach. He lasted just nine games.
The Raiders’ offensive line has been an issue all season and Hendrickson exposed it badly. Check out this recent stat from Zebra Sports via The Associated Press. Hendrickson simply destroyed the Raiders’ up front.

As Joe Philbin takes over the unit, the Raiders hope for better success on the offensive line after the bye.
