Regular season thread

Right but in the receiving game those guys haven't actually done much this year. I like the talent of Walford as I wanted the Broncos to draft him but he is averaging around 25 yards a game receiving and only has 1 touchdown this year. Have to go...will give more thoughts on this later

Well, that's because we have Coop, Crabs and Roberts and a good run game.. But those are the players you guys will focus on, so the other guys will get a shot as well.. Remember last year, it was Walford and Roberts that did the damage.. It's not always the Stars that have the big game, sometimes the guys under the radar are the ones that do damage.. And those players i just mentioned can do just that..

Not saying they can't just that they really haven't this year. Have to remember also that Walford had a decent game against the Broncos with a safety they had just signed off the streets that Tuesday before the game. He got caught out of position because he didn't know the defense but had to be thrown into the game because of injuries. That isn't quite the case this time around.

Now I will say I am a bit worried about our Corner depth. I like our top-3 guys that will be starting as they have all proven to be high quality guys but with Talib out and now Webster out they only have 4 healthy Corners on the roster. If one of them goes down the Broncos might have to change up a bit how they are playing defense. I'm also liking D. Thomas' match up for this game either against Sean Smith (who he has had success against in the past) or if he can't go whoever starts in his place. The Raiders love to play a lot of man coverage on the outside so DT should have a favorable match up.

I still like this match up though for the Broncos. The offenses the Raiders have struggled with the most this year have been the ones that run the ZBS as it is the type that can get your young LB's going sideways and be out of position for the cut back lanes. They also struggle against the bootleg type plays which both of those are staples of this Broncos offense. I also like our defense against your offense as most of your offense has gone through your top-2 WR's and so far no team in the league has done better against the #1 and #2 WR than the Broncos. For the Raiders to truly win this game it will be with the run game and those other players stepping up.
