When the Las Vegas Raiders tackle the Denver Broncos tomorrow afternoon, we won't get to see the most effective video games throughout the recreation.
As receiver Davante Adams’ future with the Silver and Black hangs in the steadiness, he'll miss this recreation with a hamstring harm. It is the second straight recreation he won't swimsuit up.
Without that star offensive presence, the Raiders wouldn't have a counter for the Broncos' star cornerback Patrick Surtain II.
When these two groups face off, one of the vital thrilling parts to observe has all the time been this match-up between two of the very best gamers in the league at their respective positions.
Now, the Raiders are left at an obstacle without Adams to tackle Surtain.
Adams has gotten the very best of Surtain often, whereas Surtain has carried out a pleasant job of slowing down Adams in different video games. It is usually a heavyweight combat.
What will the Raiders determine? How will they counter Surtain?
This season, Surtain has 11 whole tackles and two passes defended. He has not tacked on an interception but.
According to Pro Football Focus, Surtain has been focused 11 instances and has allowed eight completions, however he has solely allowed 87 yards and has not allowed a landing. If quarterbacks full passes against Surtain, they are just for just a few yards.
Gardner Minshew II and the Raiders’ passing recreation has been good however not nice this season. The Broncos’ secondary, led by Surtain, is likely one of the most improved models in the NFL.
Minshew clearly should throw it to the other facet that Surtain is on. The greatest plan of action for Minshew and the Raiders’ offense is to maintain the ball away from him and never enable him to make performs on it.
Jakobi Meyers will possible line up against Surtain. They ought to take the quick passes Surtain will enable and search explosive performs elsewhere. Brock Bowers, anybody?
Speaking of Bowers, he ought to have his fingerprints throughout this recreation. He has not been as impactful in the final two weeks as in the primary two. Minshew’s extensive receivers might not all the time be open, however Bowers possible will.
There won't be the fireworks we normally see with Adams out of the sport, however the Raiders mustn't quit. There are methods to assault this Broncos’ protection, and Coach Antonio Pierce should discover them.
