Keeping it
with y’all. #Raiders have good depth at WR, but the strength of the #Patriots defense is its secondary.
No Henry Ruggs means Bill Belichick can focus on Darren Waller without the significant threat of being burnt by a blazing speedster on the perimeter.

Gafford has the speed, but he’s not the same caliber player as Ruggs.
#Raiders can attack underneath. I can see the dink-n-dunk critics rolling their eyes, but the #Patriots lost 4 key LB/DLs this year. Van Noy, Collins and Roberts signed elsewhere. Hightower opted out.

#Raiders should test the #Patriots LBs in coverage. TEs not named Darren Waller and RBs catching out of the backfield could have big games.
Feed Josh Jacobs on the ground as much as possible. #Patriots gave up 115 yards on 25 carries to #Seahawks
RBs last week.

Defensively, the #Raiders should use Johnathan Abram similar to how the #Seahawks
used Jamal Adams last week.
Line him up in different spots and force Cam Newton to account for another pass-rusher on random downs.
And when you get to Newton, make him feel it EVERY TIME.

#Raiders must take advantage of #Patriots center David Andrews’ absence. See: Collins and Hurst.
Collins had a lot of offseason buzz. He has 1 tackle. That’s Rod Marinelli’s guy, but if he’s ineffective, the #Raiders have to #LetMoEat.
