Herbert has to scramble and ends up gaining just a yard or two on second-and-long... That sets up a three-on-three matchup between the back, left guard and left tackle against Dean, Jonah Laulu and Malcolm Koonce... Then the running back and guard aren't on the same page, with both of them picking up Laulu, freeing up Dean to speed up Herbert's process and get a quarterback hit.

Herbert pressured by Raiders' stunts; forced off progressions and into scrambles.

Herbert faced significant pressure from the Raiders' defense in Week 2, particularly from Dean's pass-rush stunts and blitzes. On one play, Dean's hands in coverage forced Herbert off his third option in the progression, forcing a scramble for minimal gain on second-and-long. On another, a Dean-Laulu stunt with poor offensive line communication resulted in a quarterback hit. The source also notes Herbert dumped off to Ladd McConkey on a checkdown that Dean tackled for a stop, keeping the Chargers behind the sticks late in the game.
