 | OAKLAND: The Raiders are going old-school with their offensive staff, with new coordinator Bill Musgrave and offensive line coach Mike Tice stepping in to tutor a young offense. Tice has overseen a variety of schemes over the years, but Oakland is probably going to go heavy with gap blocking this year. Latavius Murray will get a chance to run away with the feature back job; he earned rave reviews running in practices in recent years before breaking out late last season. Musgrave won't be making any drastic changes to the passing game. Like last year, this is going to be rooted in a West Coast system. Amari Cooper will be used on a variety of routes, but especially the screen game and anything that puts him in catch-and-run situations. Michael Crabtree will run more underneath possession routes. Andre Holmes is a situational deep threat. The Raiders swapped out MLB Nick Roach and S Tyvon Branch for MLB Curtis Lofton and S Nate Allen this offseason, but there's no guarantee that such moves will qualify as upgrades. The biggest positive was the signing of DT Dan Williams, who is a true run-plugger at nose tackle. | | CLEVELAND: New offensive coordinator John DeFilippo comes over from Oakland and this is going to be an offense centered on the run'offensive line coach Andy Moeller has a solid veteran unit to execute the Raiders' zone-blocking scheme. They preferred Terrance West a year ago, but Isaiah Crowell outplayed West and could be in for a bigger workload on early downs with West taking passing downs. Rookie Duke Johnson is a change-of-pace speedster who could force his way into the rotation. Like departed coordinator Kyle Shanahan, DeFilippo is a West Coast disciple. Dwayne Bowe arrives from Kansas City as a possession receiver while Brian Hartline will serve primarily as a deep threat. They won't throw often once they venture deep into opponents' territory, especially considering the frequency with which likely starting quarterback Josh McCown turned the ball over in Tampa last year.The Browns tied for fourth in the NFL with 29 takeaways last season. Their signing of CB Tramon Williams signals a lack of faith in CB Justin Gilbert, the 2014 draft's eighth overall pick, following his atrocious rookie year. DT Danny Shelton, this year's 12th overall pick, should help against the run. |

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PA SPORTSTICKER PRO FOOTBALL PREVIEW (OAKLAND-CLEVELAND) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(UPDATES 9th graf with Browns CB Williams out due to concussion.)
*Raiders-Browns Preview* ========================
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer
Although he helped secure the Cleveland Browns' first victory last week, Johnny Manziel is set to return to the sidelines.
Having recovered from a concussion, Josh McCown will lead the Browns in Sunday's home game against the Oakland Raiders.
Manziel threw for two touchdowns for the first time last weekend - for a combined 110 yards to Travis Benjamin - and earned his first victory in three starts, 28-14 over Tennessee. That performance reportedly had Mike Pettine pondering whether to start the 2014 first-round pick even if McCown was healthy, but the Browns coach ultimately decided on the veteran.
"(McCown has) done everything that we've asked of him in the offseason so far this year. He earned the right to be our starting quarterback," Pettine said. "We feel he gives us the best opportunity to win on Sunday. That was truly the basis for the decision.
"That being said, I thought Johnny did an outstanding job with his opportunity."
McCown completed five of eight passes for 49 yards on his only start for the Browns on Sept. 13 and looked poised on a 90-yard opening drive against the New York Jets, but was injured while trying to dive for a score in a 31-10 loss.
McCown will try to pick up where he left off while sending Cleveland (1-1) to its best start since 2011 and a fourth consecutive home win over Oakland (1-1).
After losing starting quarterback Derek Carr in their opener, the Raiders got him back from a hand injury for a 37-33 victory over Baltimore last Sunday. Carr's third touchdown with 26 seconds left - a 12-yarder to Seth Roberts - provided the margin in coach Jack Del Rio's first win with the franchise.
Carr also threw for a career-best 351 yards with a combined 220 to Michael Crabtree and No. 4 overall draft pick Amari Cooper. The trio could exploit a Browns secondary that will be without starting nickel back K'Waun Williams, who suffered his third concussion in the past year at some point recently and will be held out of this game.
"(Carr) has a much deeper wide receiver room than a year ago," Pettine said. "Amari Cooper does not look like a rookie. He's already made some big plays for them. The Crabtree signing was big for them. He's already proven he can make some big plays."
While Oakland's offense has looked better, the defense has given up a league-high 889 yards and 66 points.
"I think we took a step forward as a football team," Del Rio said. "Offensively some of the things we were talking about a week ago, were a lot better this week. We're looking to make the same kind of jump on defense."
The Raiders gave up 306 yards to the Browns - 39 on the ground - Oct. 26 in Cleveland but lost 23-13. Carr had 328 yards and threw his lone touchdown in the game with seven seconds left.
Oakland has dropped 11 straight and 19 of 20 away from home. The Raiders also haven't earned back-to-back wins since October 2012.
"You have to travel well. It has to be business-like in your approach. ... You're going really with the mission to put all of your energies toward the game, toward your teammates and doing all you can in your role," Del Rio said. "So how we travel is important. We'll do that. And just bring the kind of attention that you need to have as a football team when you go on the road."
McCown, who started nine games for the Raiders in 2007, has never faced them.
Benjamin has tied his receiving TD total of 2014 with three. He added a 78-yard punt return for a score last week.
Browns end Armonty Bryant had 2 1/2 sacks last week, nearly matching his total from his first 18 games, and Cleveland finished with seven - its most in three seasons.
Carr has been sacked once in his 58 passing plays this year.
Current Brown and former Raiders defensive end Desmond Bryant's status is uncertain due to a shoulder injury that made him a limited participant last week.
Cleveland has won nine of the past 12 matchups.
