Rams vs. Raiders: Shane's Select Seven
Shane Gray
On Sunday, the St Louis Rams (4-7) will host the Oakland Raiders (1-10) in week 13 action. While St. Louis will attempt to bounce back from a heartbreaking 24-27 loss to the Chargers, Oakland will try to notch its second win of the season after securing its first victory last week vs. Kansas City.
Oakland's Offensive O
The Raiders offense has been a nightmare for Oakland fans in 2014.
Statistically, it ranks thirty-first in points per game, thirty-second in yards per contest, twenty-eighth on third down, twenty-ninth in passer rating, twenty-sixth in completion percentage, twenty-sixth in yards per carry, last in rushing yards per game and worst in the league in fumbles.
With a rookie quarterback in Derek Carr under center, it isn't surprising that the offensive attack has been inconsistent. What has been surprising, however, is how consistently unproductive the unit has been.
Of late, however, the O slowly realized an uptick in production, averaging 17.3 points in the last seven games after managing just 12.8 in its first four.
Despite their struggles, the Oakland offense possesses some dangerous weapons and shouldn't be slept on.
"They’re highly skilled," Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher said this week. "They like to run it and use play-action pass for protection. The tight ends are talented and they can get down the field. They use the play-action pass to get the ball to the backs in the check down. All of their backs (are) hard to get down in the open field. Our defense is going to have to play really well.”
For the other six points re: Loosing Long, Donald Delivering, Bailey Breakout Out, Considering Carr, Respecting the Raiders, and Ferguson Focused, please click below. Thanks as always to the best Rams board anywhere: ROD):
