Yeah, it’s celebration Monday but the Dolphins loom

They’re a scary team. The can light it up

The Raiders Typically don’t travel East very well. I think we have a tough time with this one.

    JJ gotta have a monster game. The upside is he doesn’t shirk a challenge and could go to town especially with the TEs blocking as well as they are

    AOC might surprise us all. I think they have kept game plans simple to help him but he can hit 50 yd throws and the moment isn’t too big for him

    I just hope we play well in all 3 phases. I’m okay with losing as long as they don’t win playing a bad game (aka: every game we’ve lost except buffalo and chicago.)

    We’re built as anti-Miami and we need to play that way. Controlling TOP is a must. Establish the run and keep the time running. If we play to our strength and keep the score close, it could get interesting in 4th Quarter.

    Only way to handle a finesse team like this is to punish them everyday play you can. Keep it clean but make them hurt. Make hill not even wanna go through the middle. Regardless of outcome this is a true litmus test to see where we at. Cant let this turn into the Bills game.

    Speed is going to be the biggest issue and vulnerability for our defense. Their offense has so many fast weapons that we’re going to need a good defensive strategy to try keep them in check, Hill has routinely burnt our secondary and now with Waddle opposite and Mostert/Achane(returning) it’ll be tough.

    Very similar to my thoughts with the Bills game, we are going to need to control the time of possession heavily and get in the into their backfield early and often.

    Raiders need to bring up a RB or find one on the street and pound the rock 40 times, keep that Dolphins offense off the field.

    But Zamir White ain’t it and Ameer Abdullah is almost exclusively a 3rd down back.

    Phins are -12 point favorites. If the Raiders cover I say it’s a win either way.

    Tyreek vs Marcus Peters… yikes

    I don’t expect a win, especially with the Fish coming off a bye and us traveling across country.

    What I do expect is for us to do a Mr. Miyagi and “make good fight”. Don’t get blown out.

    I’ll be at the game Sunday so I’ve already started making my list of of reasons I’m giving AP and the boys a pass if this one doesn’t go well to help me cope emotionally haha.

    Traveling to the East coast for an early game on a short week after a close, physical game is the worst case scenario. On top of that, Miami is coming off their bye so not only are they well rested but they had 2 weeks to watch our tape and prepare a game plan. Along with Waddle and Mostert needing that bye week to get healthy they also get Achane back.

    I’m still hopeful and I’ll be in the stands until the final whistle no matte what but my gut is telling me that this game might hurt.

    Our OLine (with the exception of Dylan Parham) has to block better. Aiden is going to have to make quicker decisions or become mobile. Defensive linemen and linebackers are way too fast now days to sit in the pocket… U gotta feed Adam’s and Renfrow too.
