Raiders at Chargers MNF Pregame Discussion

[equivocation]

Teams have been avoiding Cover 3 against us. Even the Cowboys, a nominal Cover 3 team, ran a lot of Cover 2 or split safety looks.

We'll see what Gus does.

They may be limited depending on Moehrig’s health. He exited Sunday’s game at halftime with an ankle injury.

I can't recall a time when the Chargers got to face against a former DC in the next year (not as a HC). I'd expect Gus to change stuff up, but how much? Will he use Haywood and Perryman differently than he did with the Chargers? I'm confident we won't see a lot of defense at the sticks as there will be more yardage in the first and second downs and the Raiders will be on their heels.

I see the power rankings have the raiders ahead of us. We need to fix that for next week's rankings. Stomp all over those raiders!

Hopefully he takes all four quarters and half of the plane ride back home to do any in-game adjustments :thumbsup:

Well, in crunch time vs. the Ravens, Gus stacked the box and went with single high FS...

In crunch time--OVERTIME--vs. the Fins, Gus again stacked the box and went single high...usually only rushes 4 though:

Sometimes, Gus doesn't stack the box, but still single high FS...looks kind of like a modified Picket Fence...like here vs. the Steelers...

Sometimes, Gus does go with two deep safeties...he may stack the box, but usually rushes just 4 like here vs. the Steelers...

TopCat Based on history, do you think this is normal for Gus -

I just remember the picket fence at the down marker that allowed a screen pass for YAC to gain field position.

What did Bellichick play vs Gus in that NE 45 - LAC 0 beat down last year? That was kinda awesome in a horrifying way.

Bosa and other veteran defenders who've played multiple seasons under Bradley might be able to help Lombardi prepare the offense with some insight about their former DC.
