Raiders Game Thoughts

[barrett]

Agreed that what Mario does can be replaced to a certain extent by scheme, and he has a credible backup.

There is nothing we can do to replace AJ and he has no credible backup.

And Walter played really well yesterday. He obviously had the big play downfield and a number of other shorter routes he was able to use his size on. If we had run the ball like we normall do, the production from Walter, Dreesen, Daniels, etc..., should have been enough. But I think we found out yesterday that part of what makes our offense work is balance, and our running game needs AJ providing a down field threat to get Foster off. We are going to need some real creativity this week. Hopefully Casey is available to be a part of that with how much Baltimore blitzes.
