Week 2 Preview: Oakland Raiders (0-1) vs Miami Dolphins (0-1)…


                                                                                            We are back in preview mode again. This week we are going to preview a game in which both teams need a win. The Dolphins need a win because they have a young QB Ryan Tannahill who needs to learn how to win against tough defenses. 1st he drew the Houston Texans Week 1 and was crushed. This week the Oakland Raiders defense comes into town with a front 7 that can rival most in the NFL. The Raiders need this win because as a team you don’t ever want to start a season 0-2. The Raiders are angry coming off of a game they should have played a lot better in….

Game #2 – Oakland Raiders vs Miami Dolphins

Offense: OAK: B+/MIA: C-: The Offense looks to get a break with a weak Dolphins defense to match up against and the return of at least one of the 2 receivers it didn’t have last week back in the offense. Carson Palmer will have an opportunity  to show that him and his new team can be good enough to win the division. Can Darren McFadden finally have a break out game. And can Tannahill bounce back after last weeks horrible game against the Texans. We will see…

Defense: OAK: A-/MIA: C: The Defense didn’t look bad against San Diego. Even in giving up 5 FG’s and a touchdown the Raiders defense looked good. The front 7 dominated the bulk of the game Philip Rivers never looked quite comfortable in the Pocket and that is the way that the Raiders like it. The Dolphins on the other hand have the terror of a pissed off Raiders offense to deal with don’t expect many big play from this part of the game for the Dolphins even at home…

Special Teams: OAK: B+/ MIA: C-: This is one area of the game as I have mentioned before the Raiders will always have the advantage. Janko and Lechler are the best kicking tandem in the NFL. So I will focus on the long snapper if they don’t return their original starting long snapper. This is going to be another long day for the Raiders Special Teams…

Final Game Result: Raiders 28, Dolphins 14
