So we clearly are starting the game in 11 personnel. I'll be curious as to who the slot receiver will be. Most likely Boyd, but Ross in the slot would be a nice wrinkle. Despite that, I would rather go run heavy today instead of pass heavy. I wonder if Franks being inactive plays a role in that...

Last week Boyd played half his snaps on the outside, but didn't look the same as he does in the slot...I do agree they need to move people around though the offense is getting very predictable...

The Raiders D has given up 140 or more yards on the ground 9 times this year, including 200+ 3 times, and are allowing 4.8 per carry...so I hope we get a good, steady dose of the run game. Could big a big day for Mixon.

Exactly why I would like to go run heavy.
Put Andre back at RT and let those guys be road graders, opening up PA to Ross deep.
Hate to admit it, when I was a young kid in the 70's, had two sets of PJ's. Bengals and Raiders. Lamonica, Stabler, Hubbard, Otto, etc. As a kid liked their logo.
