5 Las Vegas Raiders the Buffalo Bills need to game plan for in Week 2
By Brandon Ray
5.) Jimmy Garoppolo
Having the third highest quarterback rating in Week 1, Jimmy Garoppolo went 20-26 for 200 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The Raiders pass attack was not dangerous but it was on point to where the Broncos couldn’t do enough to stop it.
Garoppolo in Josh McDaniels’ system seems to be a good fit as of now, as the two worked with each in their days back with the New England Patriots. The Raiders won’t get a high-powered type of offense with Garoppolo, but they can get a game manager who can keep the ball away from the opponent.
The defense for the Bills will have to be able to consistently pressure Garoppolo on dropbacks in the pocket. The edge rushers in Leonard Floyd and Greg Rousseau provided consistent pressure against the Jets, in which Bills fans will hope for the same production. However, it might be a good idea to get more of a rotation going to keep Floyd and Rousseau fresh.
