Raiders and Chiefs revive their traditional rivalry on Monday night. Both
are 0-1, so each team will come into the game with a small chip on the
shoulder. The Raiders have reinstated their famous vertical passing game
that was
absent the past couple of years under former coach Mike White. New QB Jeff
George was 21 of 37 passing last week against the Oilers, and sent the game
into overtime with a last minute strike to Tim Brown. Expect George to try
to find Brown or James Jett with the long bomb vs. the Chiefs.

The Raiders will line up
both Jett (#82) and Brown (#81) split to the right side. Brown will go in
motion on the cadence
and slide to the near side of Jett. As the ball is snapped, George (#3)
will fake the quick
pitch to Kaufman (#26). This fake will allow both Jett and Brown to get a
step on the coverage,
while giving George more time in the pocket as the linebackers read run.
Brown will run a quick
post crossing from right to left, while Jett runs a deep fly. If the deep
safety helps out on
Brown, look for George to air it out over the top to a streaking Jett.
