Raiders week 3
After a good all around defensive game last week the defense locked up this week. The run defense was great, pass rush was there and the team made timely Turnovers over and over.
Chidobe the new pick up has 3 INTs and 2 FFs in 3 games and has shown Trevon Moehrig that there’s levels to this.
We have yet to have a game with all of our projected starters. Tae & Waller both got hurt pregame. Moehrig missed last week and rookie SS Moten will make his debut next week against the chiefs. But with all that the raiders have 3 wins in 3 weeks by Atleast 2
possessions in each one. The team needs to stay consistent and keep putting good game after good game together. Win the games we are supposed to and steal some games we shouldn’t win and this could be a reg season the raider fans have always dreamed of.
Ultimately the raiders will also have to finish hot and keep improving the defense so it can hopefully be a championship defense. We already have the run game for it. The passing game has been trending up, but the passing offense will be only be as great as much we limit TOs. Currently with 6 incompletions and 2 INTs in 3 games it seems like the ball is always going to be going to someone. If we even turn INTs into 0 yard plays we would be so much better off.
Week 4 is the chiefs and it will be a must win for the raiders who finally have a chance to get a streak going. And it will be a huge test for the defense who so far has played 2 games better than all of last szn on defense, and hopefully it’ll be the 1st game all season that we have all of our starters. But once again I have a feeling it’ll all come down to limiting turnovers and making jac throw the ball 30+ times. This will also appear to be the 1st game we attempt to guard Kelce so it should be a little harder on him.
