Colts’ uncertain offensive game plan vs. Raiders’ preparation

One of Jeff Saturday’s first acts of business was promoting assistant quarterbacks coach Parks Frazier to interim offensive coordinator. Frazier has never called plays at any level of football, which makes him difficult for the Raiders to prepare for. “For us to sit here and spend a lot of time and energy guessing on how they will or won’t call the offense this week, I think we would just be wasting our time because we really don’t know,” Mcdaniels said. Instead, the Raiders will emphasize playing strong fundamentally on defense, something that’s eluded them in recent weeks. Coverage breakdowns specifically have haunted Las Vegas, as it’s regularly been out of position in the passing game. With the Colts starting struggling second-year quarterback Sam Ehlinger for the third time, the Raiders should have a personnel edge but it could be neutralized if Frazier plots unforeseen ways to attack them.
