Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Las Vegas Raiders: 3 players to watch in Week 7
Clelin Ferrell
Maybe a surprise here, or maybe not. Either way, Clelin Ferrell will be a major factor in a key victory here. Ferrell has slid up down the defensive line this season, but has excelled in pressure no matter where he lines up.
He is not the team’s best pass rusher, we all know that title belongs to Maxx Crosby, but he is certainly making plays happen in Year 2. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will make a case to neutralize Crosby, and this is where Ferrell must take advantage, utilizing his speed, and size on the inside, or out.
His pressure on Brady will be a defining factor on victory here. With Arden Key, this tandem should take advantage as much as possible of one-on-one match-ups with the Bucs offensive line. If Ferrell can provide enough pressure in the face of Brady, this could decide if the Raiders stay over .500.
