Thailog80 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 That will limit the inside runs. Philip Buchanon and Woodson on Moulds and Reed will be a good matchup. How do we beat them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch19079 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 good question. the jags had 2 VERY good DTs, and they stoped us most of the time. we cant run up the middle, so toss plays and of tackle plays should be run alot. i liked our screens and our O-Line protected bledsoe so that makes me feel better. but, i dont want to say its a must win vs. the raiders, but 0-2 and we have to play the pats, is NOT a good begining to a season.

Maybe it won't work, but I definately think it's worth a shot first. Rich Gannon and his crew of geriatrics don't frighten me much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad1 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Bash 'em. Use Henry and bring McGahee in earlier to spell him. Tire out the fat DTs. Force the DBs to support the run and tire them out making tackles. Woodson missed camp, and Buchannon is fragile, so be physical with them as often as possible. Oakland gave up 91 yards to Staley in Pittsburgh and 3 goaline TD runs, so Ted and Sapp aren't invincible. The Bills should control the clock like the Bills did against the Jags. The Jags big DTs were in their early 20's, Oakland DTs are in their 30s. I'd consider bringing McGahee in for short yardage situations. Oakland can't run, and their Oline is suspect, so I'd attack Gannon as often as possible. Forcing the Raiders O into some early 3 and outs will also help to wear down Oakland's D.

gantrules Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Gotta capitalize on the turnovers and create them. Oakland had five yesterday against an average Steelers D. That's all the Steelers did. If you look at the yardage Oakland pummeled them. Mostly through the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Duce Staley can run for 91 yards on Oakland, I don't think Travis and co. will have a problem. We're going to be able to run at will on them. And note to Gannon: you won't be playing the Steelers soft secondary next Sunday. The Raiders O will be shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
