Raiderjoe

This is what you missing Bills defense proved against theChiefs they can defend the swing pass from Chiefs fast Rbs. The Raiders Running backs are totally diffrent . D Mcfadden 6'1 220 (list at 210 but he 220) he could play WR in the NFL that how good his recieving skills are and FB marcel reece 6'3 240 4.41 is a former WR. When you have actually WR skills at the RB position you can run alot deeper patterns . Alot tougher to defend than what you saw from the chiefs. Fake the swing to Mcfadden and HIt Marcel reece on slant pattern. Etc. The Chiefs losing their TE Tony Moeaki in the preseason for the season was a big lost for chiefs. I think Raiders have alot of TEs that can exploit your Lbs in coverage.(Boss , Ausberry, and R Goirdon etc How many more third downs do chiefs convert with their star Te out there. ) I would expect alot of two Te formations from Raiders with two backfield and one WR. First off just for the run but they can do so much out of the passing game. Raiders could move either D Mcfadden or marcel Reece outside right before the snap and match them on a LB or safety. They are taking them deep down the field. Raiders could hit their Tes all day. campbell has alway been more comfortable throwing to his Te than his Wr. IF you think just stopping the run going to stop the raiders on offense, your sadly mistaken. BTW Raiders alot Of time play with six olineman when they go with unbalanced oline. That means a 6'6 325 big ugly is in their as extra Te.

Lets see Jacoby ford fumbled inside the 20 in Bronco Territory- 3 points and Bronco took a 90 punt return back for a TD0 Right there ten points . You were saying. Only reason this game was even close is raiders kicked too many fieldgoals instead of getting TDs. With Te Boss 6'6 back , Chaz Schilens 6'4 225 they have alot better option in the redzone this week.

That would be a big mistake on your part. More reciever sets you go to more Wimbley going to play DE.( Coming off the corner against Pears) The only reason wimbley who had nine sacks last year dosen't have as many sacks as hali is because he playing SSLB majority time. He only plkays De(rush the QB) on obvious passing downs. http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog...stions-week-1/ Quote: 1. What was the most impressive individual performance you spotted this week? . Neil: Of the games I did it would be Rex Grossman. He was very good and only threw one bad pass all day. The fumble wasnt very good either but generally he looked composed and in command. Khaled: You did watch Tom Brady dissect the Miami defense right? That was one of the most impressive performances Ive ever watched. The scary thing about the Patriots is that last year was the trial run. More experienced than ever they may have ironed out all kinks, and Brady knows how to use all of his weapons. Sam: Im going for a single play Fred Jackson juking a defender in the backfield and then carrying another on his back for a first down on 3rd and 1. Nathan: While a number of quarterbacks impressed, Ill go with Kamerion Wimbley of the Raiders. The Broncos spent most of the day throwing the ball, which left Wimbley rushing Orton and consistently bringing pressure. The rare times the Broncos ran, Wimbley had two huge stops. Last year he showed he can be a star, but never like this. Ben: Tom Bradys performance on Monday night was special but the consistency and dominance of Chris Myers against the Colts was a real treat to see. Myers really stepped up his game in 2010 and this week 1 display shows that hes ready to raise himself to the highest level this season. Potential All-Pro? http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog...roncos-week-1/ Quote: Worth the money? Three tackles. On the surface, thats not that many for a hard days work, especially when you spend 33 snaps rushing the passer. But if one was to go beyond those numbers, they would see a player that Kamerion Wimbley (+8.3) absolutely terrorized Orlando Franklin, Denvers rookie right tackle. The former Cleveland Brown was so quick off the snap; the he consistently forced Franklin to over commit to the outside rush, which allowed Wimbley to consistently beat him with a wicked spin move. It wasnt just his pass rushing that impressed, but his work in run defense. Watch him with 12:35 left in the first quarter, as he beats both Julius Thomas and Ryan Clady to make a tackle for a substantial loss, and it would be hard to argue that Wimbley wasnt one of the best defensive players on the field.

He playing Raiders just aren't going to wear out a 32 year old in practice . He will be there on Sunday. The beautiful part of Raiders Dline is they go eight/nine deep . ( Houston, kelly, Seymour, Shaughnessy, D Bryant, John Henderson , Trevor Scott and jarvis Moss ( K Wimbley plays alot of De also) All eight(take out moss) will play alot and Raiders substitute freely . Go hard on every snap and when you get tired , the next man in there Another thing is the Versatility on their Defenseline so many of these guys can play DT and DE. LDE L Houston will Play DT alot Desmond Bryant will play Dt and De. Only starter that can't play DT is RDE matt Shaughnessy

Again raiders are going to be playing alot of two Te's formations anyway. So its really no big deal. I would play Two TE formations with K Boss 6'6 255 and R gordon 6'4 265 as TE with Chaz Scilens 6'4 225 and TE/WR David Ausberry 6'4 245 at Wr with D Mcfadden as single back. Imagine what raiders could do to your 185 pound and 195 pound cbs in the running game. I like raiders te versus your lbs. The point is there is always ways to move the football.

If you know Chaz " MR Glass" Schilens history you know why raiders didn't play him In Denver with that weather. Again without a doubt he raiders best all round WR, the guy just can't seem to stay healthy. Bills Db will have their hands full with him all day.

Again it really depends on what they have to use on him to account for him. If they can get away with a LB than is it as big a deal. If they need something more than it becomes alot bigger deal.

No when your a speed guy that relies on your legs you don't fool around with hamstring injuries. You make sure thats 100% before you even think about letting him play. Or you risk it being a problem that effects him the whole year.

If this was last year Raiders his loss would have been a big loss- devastating. Not so this year. Raiders have more than enough at wr now to absorb no Louis Murphy and Jacoby Ford. First Raiders are probably going to play more two te sets this week anyway. Second raiders have more than enough at WR. Rookie Denarius Moore 6'0 195- some say he better than Ford , Not as fast as ford but better allround WR. Chaz schilens - 6'4 225 Raiders best all round Wr who Raiders really didn't play in denver due to weather, Derek Hagan-6'2 215 - alot of people were supprise when he was deactivated in week 1. DHB 6'2 210- Improved alot from last year and his confidence is at all time high. Also Raiders just could use TE david Ausberry 6'4 245 4.47 a converted WR at Wr more this week. Let Jacoby Ford sit out this week and get his hammy 100% healthy. I expect Denarius moore to see return duties and he very elusive. Chris Johnson going to play but huff might not. The way Giordano was playing safety in the Raiders zone defense I think he looked very comfortable. With Huff out that would mean one of the raiders young CB DVD would be the nickel CB. I like that better than Huff trying to play CB.

Comeon You have to do it for more than one game for you to say they have a TE now. You can't expect him with his one catch in his career(coming in this game), that The chiefs considered him someone they had to be concerned about. NOw after this game teams are more aware of him now. Lets see what he does when teaams account for him. His best attribute seems to be he 6'7. Again I don't think that enough and I think this week numbers and his season numbers will reflect that fact.

You make like Kevin Boss was out of the league the last couple years. 15.5 yards per reception is something thats not impressive.

Again you can call me anything you want- because I could care less what you think. You missed the point Raiders weakness for years(getting better now) has been the oline. The future looks alot more promising there than on Bils oline. You don't think its strange a team would be raiding a team with a lousy oline (couldn't cut it with that team with a bad oline) I would think you would target teams with good Oline when there players are cut. Yes Raiders signed langston walker back and he was a big part of them having the second rushing attack in football but sruggling in pass protection. Raiders would have taken him back if he would have played inside. Bills asked a guy who feet isn't good against speed rushers at Rt to play LT(That stupid). Eric Pears is garbage and you know it. Anyone can have one good game in their career. Lets see if you say that after 16 games. You can say Fitzpatatrick going to throw for 600 yards, Your RB going to get 200 yards and You defense going to get eighgt sacks. It really dosen't mean much as yourt just going to have alot of egg on your face if those things don't happen. Were talking about Te Scott"one game" Chandler who best attribute is 6'7. Thats the only quality he has. So yes I would be comfortable leaving lbs(thats aren't even good ) on him because he a one trick poney. Not all the Bills weapons. JMO lets see what Chandler does this game and for the season but i just think Bills expectation are unrealistic for him.

Boss is defintely a better blocker than zach Miller and bigger threat down the field(he way faster than Z Miller) . Miller was better reciever now was that because Miller was only option for many years with the raiders, while the giants had alot of options at WR that Boss was the third or fourth option in the offense. JMo this is just a guess I think we won't see jacoby Ford( Stupid to rush a guy that relies on his legs, back until his hammy is 100%) M Huff ( 50 - 50) if he plays . S Mike Mitchell is out( guy they use in big Nickel who plays LB/ safety role) that falls on Jerome Boyd. WR Louis Murphy probably back next week against Jets. Unless both have a setback I don't see either R seymour or Mcfadden missing this game. Raiders just aren't going to wear either out in practice and want them two to be healthy for the games.(both are key players)

You do know Haley fired Gailey in 2008 . Both guys are offense guys. So working with haley in the past he isn't aware what he likes to do on offense formations etc. Why Bellichik owned bill parcels te3ams. LEts see the diffrence is BOss who goes 6'6 255 with very good speed has done it at the NFL for years now while Scott Chandler has one good game to his credit. (Is that a fair assessment) The Raiders young Te's I talk about not only have that great size but they have speed to burn also. You do know the diffrence betyween 4.47 speed, and 4.64 speed to 4.85 speed. That great size might fool a team once as your not accountinmg for that player but let see when defense is aware of him. Q Groves6'3 265 4.4 something speed is one of the worst LB and I would feel comfortable leaving him all day on the slow footed S Chandler. Heck Trevor Scott 6'5 255 who strictly a pass rushing specialist , i wouldn't have a problem with him picking up Chandler all day either. Reason BIg time tes are so effective is they are too fast for LBs and Safeties and too big (size wise ) for Cb's to handle. When you aren't faster than the lb it kind of takes away the advantage somewhat.

C Gailey had a big advantage knowing Chiefs tendencies on offense as he knew Chiefs head coach mindset working with him in the past. That is a very big advantage but he won't have the same luxury going against the Raiders. Okay explain to me how Bills have more defense than the Raiders. You win in any league in the trenches. IF Raiders dline is stronger than your oline, than where are you beating anyone. I will give you the Qb he slightly better than Campbell but your joking C Gailey over Hue Jackson and Al Saunders(go look up his resume) That wishful thinking on your part there. Again I said this game would come down to the last posession (it would be close) on neutral field I think Raiders would beat them big. More like your owner Ralph "penny pincher " Wilson is notorious cheap when it comes to signing freeagents . Bigger reason why you passed on those better Tes for that TE with nice size but is very slow player. His best attribute is he 6'7. Thats like saying Bills passed on Ot's Bryant MCkinneys etc in freeagency because they had a scrub RT( Eric pears) who couldn't make Raiders oline who was the answer at rt. You know a team very desperate when they keep target Guys Raiders cut from their oline( Langston Walker and Eric Pears) Least go for guys from better olines. You call me delusional. Chandler going to have to do it more than one game before we get his bust ready for canton.

That isn't a very accurate assesment of Jason campbell. Jason Campbell biggest thing he must work on his deep ball. (not very good at it) He either severly underthrows it, overthrows it or throws it out of bounds) Thats not good when your Qb of the Raiders and they possess the fastest wr corp in the game. For this reason He might have a big shot to make a big play down the field and he will go somewhere else. (lacks confidence in his deep ball) The Top Qbs don't miss those throws when Wr clearly has a couple steps. Jason campbell throws the short(reason Raiders are so great a screen team) and the intermediate passes very well. Thats just silly show me one NFL qb that dosen't get rattled by pressure. Have you seen T Brady when Pressure getting to him. I think this trip across country would have been more effective if this was later in the season than in week two. Raiders under Hue Jackson have changed the practice time for that week to the time they will be playing that game. Like against the Broncos raiders practiced at night, this week they are practicing at 10:00 AM (Westcoast time) . When they will be playing the game in Buffalo. kind of smart if you ask me. So Raider players are building up a routine to be ready to play at that time. From getting up earlier to playing earlier than they are used to.

Okay believe that if you want but I want you to look at The TE numbers where ever Jason Campbell was the QB in the NFl. The Te going to put up some big numbers. With Boss 6'6 255 back expect to see all four of the Raiders Tes activated this week and alot of two Te formations in this game. Raiders have so many options here. You can Team Boss 6'6 255( equally effective blocking as well as recieving) with anyone of these Tes. Brandon Myers 6'4 250- most experience but average blocker and receiver(zach Miller speed) and the Two rookies with a world of potential. David Ausberry 6'4 245 4.47 (converted WR ) is probably the most dangerous receiving threat they have at TE and Richard Gordon 6'4 265 4.64 dominating blocker but a raw reciever with world of potential as a reciever. OT Bruce campbell 6'7 315 4.79 could be used as extra blocking TE. Against the Broncos Raiders would have blown out the Broncos if they scored more TDs in the redzone, and not settle for Fieldgoals. With 6'6 Boss back . Chaz Schilens 6'4 225 Raiders have so much size they can put out there that they should be able to run it in or throw it up there and let those guys go get it.

Starting with the Beating the Raiders gave the chiefs in arrowhead to end the season. They were blown out by Ravens in playoffs in arrowhead and Got humiliated again at home by The bills. So what exactly did you do again. Bad news for the Bills Te Kevin Boss will be back this week. Not only is he a very good inline blocker he probably a bigger threat down the field than Zach Miler ever was. Are you Ready???? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxWOUUMcsX4

That couldn't be further from the truth. Their best defensive player is MLB Rolando MCClain. Yes you lose an asomugha your cb position takes a hit( he was one of the best) Still Raiders starting cbs aren't any slouches either. (C johnson and S routt had better burn rate than asomugha) You win in the trenches not what you have in secondary. (Raiders instead of investing in Asomugha put that money in that Dline. D Mcfadden is without a doubt raiders best player on offense. IF Kevin Boss was healthy zach Millewr loss would be very small. Boss is a way better blocker and a bigger threat down the field. Raiders have some great looking rookie Te's that are going to be darn good in time. They are way faster and more athletic than Zach miller. You might not believe it but Raiders passing offense is goiing to be light years better than last year unit. maybe after thios week your opinion will change.

All I said is yhou can't judge a team passing game because of the weather(he was a brutal night in Denver) To say it didn't have any effect is just being silly. You didn't shutdown the chiefs running game. Chiefs just didn't run it enough. What did chiefs average per carry 6.something . I guess we have a diffrent idea what we cal,l shutdown. Raiders rushing attack is alot diffen't kind that you saw from the chiefs. Raiders will run it alot at your defense. You can try to throwq the ball feel fast but Raiders delinseline is Huge Tom Kelly goes 6'6 , R Seymour goes 6'6 . The better chance of ball being tipped. It sounds all good but Raiders secondary is alot better than that and your asking for trouble if your asking them to cover that short of time. No disrespect to Scott Chandler- but Raiders have faced way more potent offenses than the Bills especialy at TE ( A gates) All Chandler is a 6'7 slow moving TE. Here is the thing you look at what Chargers have on offense and what Bills have on offense . We can handle the Chargers offense, we can certainly can handle the bills. Your playing into raiders strength going to that many Wr packages.They Rather have LB/ safety than Groves in there at LB. Raiders love playing with their big nickel defense. Of course they are going to have more than two Cbs on the field. All that stuff you listed might have been a problkem if raiders were playing as much man to man in yaers past. They are playing more zone/ mixing up their coverages. . case in Point Giordano came in for an injury Huff and looked so much better in their zone packages, than huff did. Lets examine this thread after sunday game.

All we are doing is giving our opinion what we think is going to happen. (based on what we know about our teams) Not only me but your fan base too. Come Sunday we will see whose right and wrong. Thats the fun part is trying to predict what we are going to see. You don't have agree you can think im nuts but come Sunday im either going to be right or wrong. Im not formulating the game plan to stop the bills but im telling you what you can expect. (what raiders do in thpose circumstances) IF I was formulating the game plan this is what I would come out( Two TEs formation) , One Wr Chaz Schilens 6'4 225 and two rb backfield Marcel reece and D Mcfadden. MY two Tes would Be Ot Bruce campbell and TE Richard Gordon. Not going to happen but that would i like to see.

Your qb play might be better but if raiders dline is getting the better of your oline will it really matter. I don't care how good a Qb is pressure has a way of the best Qb look very average. Raiders running game setting up the playaction pass- an average Qb can look alot better with time to throw the football. Now I disagree with coaching staff. Hue Jackson got the raiders job because he took one of the worst offense and in one year transformed them to a top offense in most every catergory. Now you add Al saunders to help hue Jackson. Thats pretty potent. Chuck Bresnahan might not be big name but he was the Dc last time Raidrs could stop the run and take raiders to superbowl. Raiders have great Mixture M Waulfe is probably one of the best Dline coach in the Game. Stephen Wisniewski back to help the oline. Rod Woodson is the secondary coach. Raiders aren't going to get outcoached by any staff.

Raider coaches noticed this guy would slow down coming out of his breaks in college. Now he loses no speed coming out of his breaks.(They fixed that First off Spiller is not even in Jacoby Ford speed wise catergory and while jacoby Ford did it last year(numbers are way better than Spiller) spiller has alot to prove. I know they play diffrnt positions but im talking impact factor. Show me where Spiller has done better in the Nfl. Raiders didn't have to use a first rounder either. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPHQQypN1ns Where have i made Campbell out to be anything more . I would say he a little better than average. Still raiders put so much pressure on a defense with their running game , Hes more than good enough to win raiders alot of games(not to mention he protects the football) Load up in the box to stop the run and Campbell and raiders passing game more than good enough to beat any defense. Sure i would like a franchise Qb but he clearly the best Qb raiders had in the last nine years. Again these are all our opinions and it will be proven on the football field who was right and wrong. lets just hope both sides have no significanmt injuries after this game.

Raiders DT (seymour and Kelly) are right up their with any starting Dt tandem . They just don't bullrush an opposnet they have the speed to penetrate a backfield. The bills interior will have their hands full with Raiders dt. No matter how good you think they are. We have a diffrent opinion and we will find who was right in that one. Maybe thats true with MCgee but anytime you lose a Cb that means someone has to step up the depth chart. No matter how you spin it has to weaken you in the secondary.(especially raiders go multiple wr sets) True or false there Yes you are correct Charles is as fast as Darren Mcfadden but your talking about a totally diffrent beast. Charles is fast(195) but he goes down easy on first contact. D Mcfadden is closer to 220 pounds now and hes looking to punish defender everytime he can. Not to mention Darren Mcfadden recieving skils are so superior to Charles. He could probably play WR at the Nfl level. So you can do alot more complez things than send him on swing passes. Thats not even counting Taiwan jones who could be used with Mcfadden . DMC and taiwan Jones could line up in the backfield together . DMC could move out to WR right before the snap leaving taiwan Jones as single back. So many things they can do to Bill defense and they don't have the benefit of knowing Raiders tendencies like they did the chiefs. You can spread the Raiders defense out with that. Go with that many Wrs but Raiders are alot better to handle that than the chiefs. Also Raiders have alot of size/Height up front) The delineman are very good getting their hands up. Also Raiders will just bring in their big nickel package. You will get Raiders Pass rushers coming hard off the corner . You might see some zone blitzes . Dlineman dropping back in covergae. Raiders are playing more zone these days, Three step and balls out and raiders blazing speeed has a chance to make serious break on those balls. Your TE is big but Raiders have LBs that can matchup with him. Q Groves 6'3 265 not the most instictive but this guy has more than enough speed(he faster than Marcel reece) and size to handle that Te. http://www.nfl.com/videos/oakland-raiders/09000d5d82027574/Reece-challenges-Groves-to-40-yard-dash Usually Raiders will put J Boyd 6'2 225 4.4 on the Te You might get your points but I think Raiders are just going to stop you alot more times than you do. You better be prepared to score 30 plus points. Thats what its going to take.

Superbowl not even Im predicting that. Raiders will be as good as the Oline takes them. Raiders tackle hold up in pass protection this offense is going to be very dangerous(can beat anyone) and I think this team is a playoff team. Other than thgat take it one game at a time. Again your entitled to your opinion and we will see if thats the case or it it wasn't. Something has to give. I think Raiders are moving it on the ground and through the air. Lets see if thats the case come Sunday. One of us is going to be extremely dissapointed and I hope its you.
