 We're not just talking ball. We're talking Raiders. Hard to get used to saying Las Vegas Raiders, but that's the opponent this week We know their quarterback Derek Carr and he knows receiver Devonte Adams from way back in college at Fresno State He wanted Devonte Adams as part of the Raiders and Green Bay traded him to Las Vegas So have those guys picked up where they left off in college? Yeah, you certainly see the connection you see the familiarity that Derek has you know with Devonte speed with the Route-running techniques that he has his ability to separate you know Derek throws a really good football Devonte is one of the top receivers in the league those guys have really picked up pretty quickly and gotten off to a fast start What extra dimension does a guy like Darren Waller give the Raiders? He's such a unique player. He's got size He's got length. He's got a big catch radius. He's got speed He's got route-running ability He can muscle guys at the top of the route, you know that they're smaller defender trying to guard him And if they're a bigger guy, he can kind of run past them So he's a tough cover. You got to really have a good plan to cover that guy. How do you sort of? Characterize Raiders running back Jess Jacobs tough, you know runs hard low center of gravity It's usually hard for the first guy to get him on the ground He's got a really cool jump cut, you know when he gets into the line of scrimmage He can pick and slide through traffic. He's got a good burst. He catches the ball well out of the back But I mean, I think he's a three-down back and he's really running hard With all those offensive weapons, are they really able to vary their ability and create some challenges? They are you know between you know Devonte who we talked about Josh who's gonna run the football Waller at tight end They've got Renfro who's a Pro Bowl slot receiver. They added Mack Hollins There's a big long stretch to feel fast player So they've got different levels where they can attack you on multiple fronts, you know from a running the ball standpoint and from passing Let's go defense now and let's talk about the edge guys Max Crosby and the veteran Chandler Jones What kind of pressure they go to put on the Titans this week to take care of Ryan Tannehill impressive duo, you know Really impressive duo. They're both long players. They both used their links really well Crosby's got a quick first step. He'll come inside. He'll rush with speed on the outside He'll mix up speed rush with power rush Chandler is really good with his hands He's really loose hip he can bend for a taller player They create a lot of movement up front, but you know the the focus is on those guys Freeing that those guys up trying to get him in and one-on-one rush situation so they can win What stands out to you about the Raiders defensive front? Well, I think they're certainly big on the interior with billings with nickels with Hankins who all play in there The linebackers, you know, one of our former players John Browns there The oblo is an off-the-ball backer Perryman made 154 tackles last year for him All of those guys can run and cover ground So it's about taking up space up front with the interior letting those two edge guys pressure and the fast line Backers run and chase finally John. How will the Raiders challenge you on special teams? Well, you know, they've got speed on the perimeter So we've got to do a really good job with our vice guys holding those gunners up Allowing us to get the return game going and conversely the gunners they've got to get down there in Stonehouse is really you know, putting a foot on the ball. He's getting good distance We got to sprint our tails off down there and force fair catches or try to get a turn over
