Packers run-blocking vs Raiders defensive line

The Packers rank nearly dead last in run-blocking, but Aaron Jones is so good, so they can keep the defense honest. One major key is forcing Rodgers to beat you by taking away the running game, something he does quite often.

However, shutting down half of an offense can damage any quarterbacks chances to win. Breaking down the running attack will also allow the pass-rush for Oakland to get going and get after the quarterback.

In their victory last Monday night, Green Bay got a strong effort from Jamaal Williams as well, so the Packers have a two-headed attack in the backfield. Oakland has done a nice job against the run in recent weeks, but will have a tall order ahead of them inside Lambeau in Week 7.
