Joey Bosa: NFL writer rips Chargers star for 'inaccurate comments' about Derek Carr

Joey Bosa made headlines after the Chargers convincing win over the Raiders on Monday night after ripping Las Vegas Derek Carr in the post game press conference.

Longtime and widely respected NFL writer Jim Trotter wasted no time in voicing his honest feelings toward the former Ohio State star.

Bosa and the Chargers defense dominated Carr in the first-half of Monday night’s win for Los Angeles, but Trotter said Bosa was downright wrong in his assessment.

“Yeah I want to talk to Joey Bosa and say this,” Trotter said. “You were way out of line with your comments last night. If he [Derek Carr] was as bad or as cowardly as you intimated, why was he 9-of-10 for 76 yards and two touchdown passes in the third quarter behind a line that couldn’t protect him?”

Trotter then took it a step further, taking a shot at Bosa’s character for ever saying something like that, about any NFL player, regardless of the situation.

“Look, even if what you were saying about him was true, and it is not, why would you say it about a member of your NFL fraternity? You’re better than that Joey.”

Joey Bosa’s comments about Derek Carr after MNF win

Bosa took the podium after after Monday night’s dominating win over Carr and the Raiders. Here are the comments that have caught a ton of attention this week and exactly what Trotter is referring to.

“We knew once we hit him a few times, he really gets shook,” Bosa said after the game. “And you saw on (Covington’s) sack, he was pretty much curling into a ball before we even got back there. Great dude, great player … but we know once you get pressure on him, he kind of shuts down.”

Bosa and the Chargers defense limited the Raiders offense to no yards and no touchdowns in the first quarter and only 51 total yards at the half, still without a touchdown.

Carr was sacked a total of four times and passed for just 196 yards and one interception to go with his two third-quarter touchdowns. The Chargers pressure came from all over, with four different players landing a sack.

Joey Bosa found early success with a strip sack that ended the Raiders’ second posession.

Covington, Kyler Fackrell and Jerry Tillery also took down the Raiders signal caller. Carr was hit seven times through four quarters and though Las Vegas found success in the second half, it was too late.

It’s clear the Chargers and Raiders had already formed a rivalry, but Bosa added fuel to the fire for when the two teams meet later this season.
