The Las Vegas Raiders are up for a tough challenge on Sunday in Week 8 as they will play the New Orleans Saints, who also have two wins. However, they have been dealing with injuries, and are one of the most injured teams in the league.
But, if you ask the Raiders, they are worried about one guy on the Saints' roster. Yep, you guessed it. Taysom Hill will give any team fits, considering no one ever knows how he will be used. One Raiders coach talked about that on Tuesday.
"That adds a level of difficulty, absolutely," Raiders' defensive coordinator Patrick Graham said of Taysom Hill. "He is one of those 'Where's Waldo' kind of guys. Each week there is someone kind of like that on each team. You have to have an understanding like, okay, there he is on the field, and you have to be able to execute from there.
"You got the idea he is on the field, you know where he is at, and from there can we execute the plan? So, usually, there is someone like that on the field for each team, and he is definitely one of the guys for this team, along with, you know you got to make sure where Kamara is. You have to make sure you know where a lot of these guys are."
Hill can literally do it all. A few weeks ago we saw him explode against the Seahawks and have one of the crazier stat lines in the league. He rushed for three touchdowns with 100 yards on the ground, and passed for a touchdown, while also having a few tackles on special teams. And get this, he only played 23 total offensive snaps.
He doesn't need a whole lot to change the game. Hopefully the Raiders can stop Hill when he is in the game, because the Saints feed off of his play. We will have to see Sunday.
