Packers & Raiders - Who Is Oakland?

OK, time to look at our opponents:

Oakland Offense:
WR-Michael Crabtree(7)
LT-Donald Penn(10)
LG-Gabe Jackson(2)
C-Rodney Hudson(5)
RG-J'Marcus Webb(5)
RT-Austin Howard(6)
TE-Lee Smith(5)
WR-Amari Cooper(R)
QB-Derek Carr(2)
RB-Latavius Murray(3)
FB-Maecel Reece(6)

OK, not a lot of household names!  QB, Carr, young and a gunslinger!  9th in yards - 4th in TD's(tied with Aaron), 10th in QB rating, & 24th in being sacked(Aaron is 10th)  So, he will wing it!!!

Running Back Murray, 12th in rushing with 878 yards & 5 TD's.  An adequate runner!

And veteran wide receiver Michael Crabtree & rookie receiver, Amari Cooper.  Crabtree, 29th in yards 779, 7 TD's & Cooper - 15th in yards 920 & 4 TD's.  Must cover these two!

On defense:
DE-Denico Autry(2)
DT-Dan Williams(6)
NT-Justin Ellis(2)
DE-Mario Edwards(R)
OLB-Khahlil Mack(2)
MLB-Curtis Lofton(8)
OLB-Malcolm Smith(5)
CB-David Amerson(3)
CB-TJ Carrie(2)
S-Charles Woodson(18)
S-Nate Allen(6)

Only big name here is ex-Packer, Charles Woodson in his 18th season!  YES, I said 18!  That is a lot of years for a defensive back!!!!  Other 10 players is a mix of young and old!  The young one to watch is Khalil Mack, leading the league with 14 sacks!  With our injured line, Rodgers needs to watch where he is on the field!

So, as you see, not a lot of BIG names, but players that play loose in front of this crazy home town Raider fans!!!

I STRONGLY suggest, NO Lambeau Leaps into these guys!!!!!!
