Jets’ Kearse no fan of Raiders’ home: ‘I hate their field’
No, the Raiders are a team that is in a competitive playoff race in a bloodthirsty division.
While the onus defensively is on the line, their peers on the offensive side must get the running game going to discourage teams to follow Buffalo’s game plan of eight-man fronts daring Josh McCown, the Jets’ 38-year-old journeyman quarterback, to throw.
I wouldn’t expect the Jets to do very well this weekend.
Now, they face a high-powered Raiders offense.
And that’s essentially what will happen.
The Oakland Raiders just started the season and based on the results of Sunday’s game, it’s off to a great start for them. According to the team, they were also the first rookie duo at the position in the starting lineup for any team since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970.
It’s nearly as if it’s sucked into some sort of… He batted down one pass, made two tackles behind the line and had four QB pressures despite facing double and triple teams all game. If the Raiders can get to 150 with Lynch, Jalen Richard and DeAndre Washington, it sets the stage for some pyrotechnics with Derek Carr in the passing game.
“One thing he always preached to me when I came out of college was, ‘Always finish; don’t give up on a play,”‘ Brandon Shell said of Art.
“Nah, I’d like to keep my day job”, Bowles said with a big laugh.
“They had good action shots”, Bowles said with a grin. There aren’t that many games left in Oakland before the Raiders leave for Las Vegas. If they do, then the Jets have more problems than they bargained for.
Furthermore, the linebackers specifically need to step up their game.
With Eric Tomlinson (elbow) and Jordan Leggett (knee) out, former Giant Will Tye, claimed off waivers last week, should start at tight end. One week ago when I previewed a game in Orchard Park, the Jets were playing for sole possession of first place in the AFC East.
Derek Carr has been fantastic in his career against NY. He had zero sacks and just three tackles, but two of those tackles were for loss. “I thought he did what we asked of him”.
“I see the attention to detail, I see the clarity with our communication, with our understanding of what we’re doing, what we’re trying to get done”, Del Rio said. The Raiders should steamroll the Jets. In Week 1, the Jets only scored 12 points against the Bills. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Jets don’t score at all. The schedule for Oakland is tough, so you better be sure that they are going to be focused on getting what should be an easy win against the Jets. If anyone scores for the Jets, it’ll be him.
Quarterback Derek Carr looks fully healed from the broke ankle from last season, as he threw for over 250 yards and two touchdowns against the Titans. This week, with it being the home opener, coupled with his performance last week, he (we hope) will rectify that situation in a major way.
Oakland’s offense performed as expected against the Titans in Derek Carr’s return, with newly signed kicker Giorgio Tavecchio providing a big boost in his National Football League debut.
