""Josh [McDaniels] has run the ball a lot in his history and Mike Vrabel wants to run the football too. They're very physcial about it, the running backs run really hard, and Josh has traditionally had a really downhill attack. It's pretty classic, and it's really good.""
""It's absolutely in the middle of the preparation because he almost ran for 500 yards last year. I think our numbers were that he's the second-most scrambling guy of the last year. We know that he can take off and run and make things happen. He did it in preseason and made it look easy. That's a big factor in their favor.""
""Yeah, it does.""
""Both the inside guys are really good. Milton [Williams] had a terrific season last year and has had a number of good years""
The Raiders will visit the Patriots in Foxborough for the first time in nearly 25 years without Bill Belichick on the sidelines. Jakobi Meyers now plays for Las Vegas and Tom Brady is a Raiders minority owner, adding familiar faces to the matchup. Mike Vrabel begins his tenure as Patriots head coach while Pete Carroll became Las Vegas's head coach and Josh McDaniels had a brief Raiders head-coaching stint. Carroll highlighted New England's physical, downhill rushing attack, praised the Patriots' interior defenders, and noted Drake Maye's ability to scramble and create yards on the ground.
