We have a better offense than Oakland so the game plan should stay simple. Take away Carr's 5yrd throws with base cover 1 or 2 man under D and simple zone MLB blitzs. On O stay 50/50 run to pass to keep the D honest and use the clock effectively. If we find ourselves up at the half then use the run to setup the pass. If we are down go pass heavy with RB dumpoffs.
Expect to see a lot of 4-3 and nickle D to stop runs and short passes. On Offense I expect them to keep things even and keep the Defense guessing. We can run block better than pass block so I think designed QB rollouts can be effective. We just have to spread the ball around so that their experienced CB don't lock on to AJ green and effectively shutdown 50% of our offense.
Another guy to watch is Amari Cooper. The raiders know they have something in him and will probably want to see what he can do. If we can match Dre up on him that is a guy who has had experience running against him in college practices when he was a senior and Amari was a freshman all american. So maybe we will try and let Dre follow him around for a few series if he becomes their go to guy.
