Mack had 6 sacks against the Raiders, he notes that a lot of it had to do with facing their rookie QB in the QBs first starter after Jimmy G was injured.
Raiders are actually one of the better Pass Blocking teams this year (as graded by PFF) but the Raiders.
Key to this game will be to not let RB Josh Jacobs get started and make someone else other than RB Jacobs and WR Davante Adams beat you.
On paper this season, WR Jakobi Meyers looks like their only other offensive weapon this year. They also got some TEs, but in 4 games, they have less than 55 yards so far.
Not sure why (maybe due to the hold out?, or maybe because the defense knows the run is coming?) RB Jacobs is averaging 2.7 yards so far this season. Can't let him get started.
Hell, I might put 2 of my best 3 DBs on Adams all game, and tell the rest of the guys to attack the backfield.
