Las Vegas Raiders vs. Los Angeles Chargers | 2024 Week 1 Game Preview

[Music] Las Vegas Raiders going back to the future to start 2024 they're in Los Angeles to take on the Jim Harbaugh Chargers and if that doesn't mean what they think it means the upcoming season will be a disappointment there you go baby there you go baby this does not qualify as an OG choc some of you know but bottom line is Harbaugh's bolts hiring UPS the Annie on how the Love Bug performs Justin Herbert was handed a lot of coins he shown he has the potential so let's see it what a Stones Throw by Justin Herbert Raiders quarterback well back in 82 he could throw a pig skin a quarter mile and Gardner muu also made the Pro Bowl in 2023 with Indie did it as a backup now he's in the driver seat of their van PS he takes a deep shot Tucker is open and he had to wait for it but he came down with it Devonte Adams the clear star of the Vegas offense so mshu probably leans on him big time never in my life have I have I dealt what this before my life but but I'm I'm bought in it is what it is we got to do what we got to do we going to win a big time one-on-one to watch then Adams versus Asante Samuel Chargers top corner and he travels first and goal okell intercepted rest of the secondary Uncle Rico is going to be staring at cornerback jir Taylor really good year too for that kid Corner Christian Fon debuts as a charger after coming over from Tennessee and mchu and his pass catchers are dealing with a good safety Duo Lohi Gilman and Derwin James La hoping their play versus the pass is decidedly improved compared to a year ago W what a play by Gilman who has been Sensational in coverage their best rated cover defensive back on this team La safeties may put in some overtime in week one Raiders have two young tight ends expected to play big roles in their offense Michael Meyer last year's rookie who impressed and their first round pick in this year's draft Brock Bowers it low it was caught that's the rookie Brock Bowers delivering the first down Vegas's pass catching group also includes the likes of Trey Tucker he enters his second year and jacobe Meers a good number two right over 800 yards in his latest campaign deep down the left sideline open there the five is Myers catches walks in touchdown Raiders how much time will mchu have to work with his tackles are up against the Bosa Mac attack Joey Bosa when he's on the field he's a beast he'll be firing off one Edge the diving sack here just before pent can get away tremendous play out of field goal range khil Mack will be coming off the other side comes off a 17 bag year unbelievable the sixth sack for khil Mack a new Chargers record La defensive end Morgan Fox can be disruptive as well five and a half sacks in 2023 Chargers front seven taking on zamir white when Vegas runs hit at 4.3 a carry last year this is his first chance to be the man at running back up air cuts to the right side first down 35 air white might have just soed it away a Raiders win speaking of the running game Chargers offense could rely heavily on ground transportation they have Baltimore's old offensive coordinator and both their old running backs JK Dobbins crazy potential if he can stay healthy Gus Edwards scored 13 times last year touchdown Ravens Edwards and Dobbins getting in the ring with Vegas linebackers Divine Diablo and Robert Spain Diablo a triple digigit tackle dude Spain 148 three interceptions three and 1 half sacks super underrated cat his second interception of the night that pair will get plenty of help from their new defensive tackle too Christian Wilkins makes his Raiders debut and he isn't just a run stuffer he's one of the best pass rushing DTS going that's the seventh sack of the night Herbert's o line is going to be tested because Vegas has two good Edge guys too sets up a lot of ran Slater Herbert's left tackle and right tackle Joe Al LA's latest first round pick against Mad Max and Malcolm CS Co an eight saat guy last year Mr Crosby 142 with a motor that never stops he's ramped up in the back field guess who Max Crosby again so who's Herbert throwing two when he lets it Fly Chargers don't have a clear number one they have a first rounder from last year Quinton Johnston who they hope proves to be worthy of a first cross the middle touchdown it's Johnston they just drafted a lad in the second round that might help Raider secondary dealing with makoni fires mak's got it it's a first down the rookie DJ CH debuts as a charger too and Joshua Palmer will be out there Herbert knows him 500 plus yards last year 700 plus the year before goes to the end zone tipped in the air caught Palmer touchdown Vegas is hopeful they have a secondary that can hang with those dudes cornerback Jack Jones played well for them after coming over from New England last year jakorian Bennett will be out there and they love what Nate Hobbs brings to lunch dips one right through the hands and then deflected and intercepted by Hobs Raiders have Marcus EPs and Trayvon merri at safety what else you take things from here comment section is open for business fill it with predictions and your keys to the game My Keys they'll start the 2008 game preview guy
