They have a lot of weapons that are dangerous in that area of the field. They convert red zone opportunities into points 61% of the time.

That is due in part to their effectiveness in the red zone. The Raiders have a top 12 scoring offense in the NFL. Limit the Las Vegas red zone effectiveness. That leads to unpredictability and makes it even more difficult for the defense to have success. Another body will need to be committed to stopping the big tight end, which opens up lanes for the running game, bringing the play-action passing attack into play. If Waller is allowed to get going, that opens up even more problems for the defense. Last season when Waller traveled to New York to take on the Jets, he hauled in 13 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns, so he is undoubtedly looking to return to the city again. They held him to four catches for 27 yards. Look for the Giants to use a similar coverage against Waller as they did against Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce. New York needs to key in on him and make sure he is not allowed to get rolling. He averages 11.5 yards per reception, so he eats up a nice chunk of yards when he catches the ball. There’s no reason for that to stop against the Giants.ĭespite the defensive focus and missing the Raiders previous game, Waller is still third on the team in receiving with 378 yards, and his targets should increase with the loss of Ruggs. The 6’6” 260-pound tight end has not enjoyed the level of success he had last season so far this year because he has been the focus of defensive game plans. Giving Jones the option to pass or run should give him more confidence, and when he is playing confidently, he is at his best. Second, play-action can get Jones on the move with bootlegs that will enable him to attack the defensive with his legs and arm. Play-action will stop the feet of the rush long enough to allow Jones time to identify open receivers and get rid of the ball. Simply dropping back Daniel Jones 30 plus times has not been a recipe for success and doesn’t put the quarterback at ease when you consider how many centers and tackles he’s seen in front of him. One of the biggest concerns coming into this game is how the offensive line, which has been adjusted and rotated all season due to injuries, will hold up against Max Crosby, Solomon Thomas, and the Raiders pass rush.
