Run Hill 25 times and set the tone for the year. Intimidate and frustrate them with him getting 5 yards a pop.
Then, when they start playing 9 men in the box, you either hit AJ on the outside being single-covered or you hit the tight ends up the seams. When they start selling out to stop AJ, you hit the TEs up the seam, or vice-versa.
That actually should be our typical plan for most of the year, but especially since Oakland will most likely struggle against the run again this year. Granted that they did improve a lot with some guys (Williams, Lofton, M Smith), but I think we make them prove it. Set the tempo for the season and let every team in the NFL know that we're coming to jam the ball down your throat. Hill dominated some better defenses than that last year, so put the rest of the league on notice that they better start game planning for him right now.
On defense, bring the pressure because Carr struggles under pressure, but Oakland has a good pass blocking line, so we need to blitz people and hope that Geno and MJ being back to form helps the rest of the d-line get pressure because we don't want to leave Dre and Dennard (if he starts) hanging out to dry against Cooper and Crabtree.
Latavius Murray could also cause us problems, so we need our front 4 (actually, our entire front 7) to be stout.
