I asked Las Vegas Raiders Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham about the struggles some of his players had tackling.  It's something they have worked on all week here in West Virginia.

According to Graham, “The start of the season comes down to fundamentals defensively in terms of tackling, getting off blocks, defending the deep part of the field, win our leverage in coverage. And we're just looking for improvement from week to week. It's the first time playing as a group and we got to do a good job of tackling; that includes the wrap, the approach, everything there. But the first game of the season across the league is where you see the teams that tackle the best usually are the teams that are playing the better defense to start the season. We're in the process of trying to improve that as much as possible.”

Offensive Coordinator Mick Lombardi understands the physicality it will take to win in Buffalo, and he loved what he saw versus the Denver Broncos.

 "I thought they pass protected very well, like you said. No sacks in the game is obviously always a goal heading into it. But that takes everyone. Jimmy [Garoppolo] did a great job of getting the ball out on time and stepping up in the pocket when he had to. I'm sure you saw some of those plays to end the game. And early in the game when he scrambled and pushed up, and the pocket was clean, and he had those alleys to run in. And credit to all those guys for keeping it firm and cleaning out the pocket when they could and trying to play physical against a good front in Denver. So, very pleased with the way they pass protected. Obviously, every week in the NFL presents a challenge in terms of defensive front structure and blocking and different things. Buffalo plays a different structure in terms of front than Denver did, so we're up for a different task this week, but we're looking forward to it." 

The Silver and Black remain on the road this week as they travel to play the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Sept. 17, at 1:05 p.m. EDT/10:05 a.m. PDT.
