Joey Bosa lowered Sunday into a three-point stance, his right hand in the ground while his left arm swayed like a clock pendulum, waiting on second-and-long. He was positioned outside Raiders right tackle Vidal Alexander, and he was coming.
The play began.
There Bosa went.
The defensive end sprinted forward, his attack angle perpendicular to the line of scrimmage despite his wide alignment. With his body square, he planted suddenly on his outside foot and cut inside. As Bosa dashed across Alexander’s body, the blocker hooked him to keep the rookie from disrupting a Derek Carr pass.
