Perhaps Oakland’s most dangerous front four combination is the one depicted in the below still. On this 3rd and 10 play with 3:07 left in the first half, the Jets run an empty backfield using 11 personnel, and have split a receiver to the left with a quad package to Geno Smith’s right. Oakland counters with a 4-2-5 alignment, but with 2-4-5 personnel grouping. Oakland has Woodley at one defensive end in a two-point stance with a wide alignment. Antonio Smith is on the inside shade of the left guard. Oakland also has Tuck on an inside shade of the right tackle, while Mack is out in a wide 9 technique. With two defensive ends and two linebackers in this front, the Raiders rely on speed and athleticism to put pressure on the quarterback.
