Game Day Tipsheet: Week 3

[The Spaz]

Top 3 Individual Matchups
1. Derrick Burgess vs. Jason Peters – The two Pro Bowl talents will match their athleticism and wits. Burgess knows how to set up tackles with his threat of speed around the edge, but Peters is athletic as they come. The Raiders have moved him over to the left side as well on passing downs, so his former teammate Langston Walker could see him too.

2. DeAngelo Hall vs. Lee Evans – Hall may not always be matched up on Evans with Turk Schonert moving the Bills top wideout around a good amount the past two weeks, but Hall is extremely athletic. The problem is Hall relies too much on that athletic ability and as a result isn’t the strongest at that position when it comes to technique. Evans should be able to take advantage of that.

3. Zach Miller vs. Donte Whitner – Miller is a real up and coming tight end who has developed some early chemistry with JaMarcus Russell. The young quarterback looks for Miller often, but Whitner is more than capable of hanging with Oakland’s second-year tight end.

Very surprised that they say DeAngelo Hall will be matched up on him. I know he's a bit better in man coverage than Nnamdi Asomugha, but you can't deny that Nnamdi is their best corner.

1.D Burgess plays primarily at LDE. HE will be going against Langston Walker. Bills have to give l Walker help, because Walker could never block
Burgess in practice.


2. All Raiders CBs are very good. They are all man to man cbs. They got in trouble against Denver, as they tryed to play alot of zone. (raiders suck in zone) Raiders CBs should be very agressive against your WRs. Raiders do have one of the best secondaries in all of football and I wouldn't count on anything you saw Monday night. Bills fans who think they are going to throw all over this Raider secondary. In for a rude awaking.

3. Zach Miller will not be much of a factor in this game. Simple because Rauiders need him to stay in and block . With raiders starting LT Kwame Harris out, Raiders don't seem like they have much confidence in LT Mario Henderson protecting Russell blindside. Raiders did alot to help Henderson last week and It effected the Passing offense.
I would be more worried about Bush and Mcfadden hurting you more in the passing game this week. (both are dangerous pass catchers Raiders haven't utilized yet)


The Guy to look out for on Raiders defense is # 53 LB Thomas HOward . He is one of the premier cover LB in the game today. Hes so good in coverage that Raiders have lined him up occasionally at CB. TRent Edwardss better know where he is because her capable of picking a couple of his passes off.
IF Raiders blitz look for this guy to be a big factor. He one fastest Lbs in the game.
