Kolton Miller

Kolton Miller did some fantastic work for the Raiders against Bradley Chubb, not allowing a single sack after allowing a league-leading 14 with 59 QB hits last season. The Sophomore left tackle will be going against Frank Clark in Week 2, who had 13 sacks last season for the Seahawks.

Clark also had nearly 30 quarterback hits, three forced fumbles, an interception for a touchdown, and 10 tackles for loss in 2018, making him one of the better edge rushers in the game. Miller played better last week in one game than he did all last season.

He pancaked a secondary defender which led to the first down on a crucial third-down which iced the game. Miller has been a work in progress since he was drafted but the staff knew that when they pulled the trigger on him.

The Raiders have put a lot of faith in their offensive line when they signed Trent Brown and put him with Incognito and Jackson. Rookie Josh Jacobs is the biggest beneficiary of said line upgrades rushing for two touchdowns last night and nearly catching another one. Miller is set to have another good game and his blocking ability will be put to the test.
