This Oakland Raiders offense offers quarterback Derek Carr some solid weapons to target in the passing game. Between receivers Amari Cooper Gareon Conley Jersey , Jordy Nelson, and Martavis Bryant, and tight end Jared Cook, Carr are sure to find one. Once Jon Gruden finds the week’s go-to match-up, he will relentlessly pick on it. In Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams, Cook had the big match-up advantage, so Carr went to him 12 times for nine catches for 180 yards. Cook got big chunks of those yards on receptions of 45, 32, and 28 yards. With Cooper catching just one pass for 9 yards in the opener, in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos, it was his turn to be the focus. Carr got the ball to him on all 10 attempts to him for 116 yards with a long of 30 yards on the day. Carr mainly threw quick passes that day and Cooper was able to make himself available to him a lot. Then last week against the Dolphins Youth Derek Carrier Jersey , Jordy Nelson was up. He had been forgotten to that point and suddenly he went off. The Raiders exploited his match-up to get six catches on eight attempts for 173 yards and a touchdown. Much of his yards came on the first two drives with catches of 61 and 66 yards.The logical question is who will be the guy this week? How about Martavis Bryant?The super talented but embattled WR was among the roster cuts and was brought back after week one. In his two games back, Bryant has just six catches on nine attempts for 60 yards. But Cooper and Nelson were also non-factors in their other two games, so recent history would suggest Bryant is due for his big game against the Cleveland Browns.Match-up wise, Denzel Ward is the only Browns cornerback that has the speed and athleticism to stay with Bryant. The 5’11” Ward runs a 4.3 40 and has a 39-inch vertical leap. Bryant also has a 39-inch vertical leap but he’s 6’4”. Ward will likely be on Cooper most of the time anyway as he is the Raiders WR1.Browns CB2 Terrance Mitchell is also 5’11” and runs a 4.6 40. We already know CB3 TJ Carrie doesn’t do well against speed from his time with the Raiders. Thus far Martavis has been mostly an athletic decoy and weapon on gimmick plays.“He’s demanded coverage,” Gruden said of Bryant Wednesday. “I think he helps Amari have big days. I think he helps Jordy have big days and I think he made some big plays. Third down receptions the other day. We tried to get him the ball on a double reverse, or a gimmick play, we didn’t it execute it very well but his presence out there is a difference. Everybody knows who is and what he is capable of doing.”The Browns know the Raiders are trying to establish Cooper as the focal point of their passing game. So they’ll likely put Ward on him and see what he can do to slow him down. Then there’s Nelson and Cook, who have already shown what they can do in the Raiders’ offense. So Bryant may have the match-up Gruden can relentlessly pick on. Brandon LaFell hasn't had much sleep since signing with the Oakland Raiders.Out of a job for more than a month after being let go in a somewhat surprising move by the Cincinnati Bengals, LaFell has been too busy trying to learn Jon Gruden's complex and wordy offense in hopes of being ready to play in next week's season opener."It's a lot going on right now," LaFell said Wednesday. "Right now for me it's just leaving everything from Cincinnati out of my head and trying to refresh things with everything I'm learning now. A lot of the terminology is somewhat the same. I've grasped some of the same concept so far but it's a lot right now."That LaFell is in Oakland is a little mystifying. He signed a $9 million, two-year extension with the Bengals in 2017 and received a $1.25 million roster bonus in March.The Raiders didn't seem to have much need for another receiver either after signing free agent Jordy Nelson and trading a third-round pick to Pittsburgh for Martavis Bryant.It all changed quickly for both sides.Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis was quoted as saying LaFell was feeling the heat in training camp from some of the Bengals' younger receivers. LaFell responded by asking for his release http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-mike-nugent-jersey , which the team did on Aug. 2.Coupled with Oakland's decision to release Bryant during final roster cutdowns, it created an opening on the Raiders for LaFell."He's a good player," Gruden said. "He has played multiple roles and played well when he's played. We think he can come in and get ready quickly to make a contribution. He's got size that we like, he's an excellent blocker. He's going to give us some versatility and depth, which we need."The well-traveled LaFell has a resume that was certainly attractive to the Raiders.A third-round pick by Carolina in 2010, LaFell caught a career-high 74 passes for 953 yards and seven touchdowns and won a Super Bowl with New England following the 2014 season.Over the past two years in Cincinnati LaFell caught 116 passes for 1,410 yards and nine touchdowns."A smart guy, a guy that's played with Tom Brady when I was in New York," Raiders safety Marcus Gilchrist said. "Crafty guy, big guy, can run for his size and can go up and get the ball. Can play in the slot Frostee Rucker Jersey , can play outside. You need a guy like that."LaFell arrived in Oakland late and spent his first practice on the scout team. He spent Wednesday's workout backing up Nelson."It is crazy right now," LaFell said. "Luckily my receivers coach (Edgar Bennett) said for the first couple of days just learn the X so I'll be the outside receiver and rotating with Jordy whenever he gets tired. Hopefully, these first two weeks I can stay at X and just focus on learning that X spot right now and as the season goes on start moving me around."Bryant was let go, in part, because of his lack of versatility in Gruden's offense. That doesn't appear to be an issue for LaFell."I've always felt like the more spots I knew, the faster I can play and the more time I can stay on the field," he said "A lot of guys are going to get tired and need to check out or check in here and there so the more spots I know I don't have to leave the game. I can just slide over, slide from outside to inside."__
