"Rex Ryan refers to the right arm of Raiders quarterback Jason Campbell as a "bazooka" and estimates that the speed of his receivers is similar to that of a missile. In defensive meetings throughout this week, Ryan's staff is preaching "stay deep" to Jets safeties and aggressiveness by the defensive line to unsettle skill players before they can break into open space.

"I don't think we'd have a chance to match them in a 4x100 but we'll try to match them in football," Ryan said.

The Raiders, equipped with an endless supply of speed bursts, displayed the depth of the receiver position last week by running out rookie Denarius Moore to replace starter Jacoby Ford, who was forced to sit because of a hamstring injury. Moore made the most of his opportunity, ripping through the Bills secondary for 146 yards and a touchdown. It is the baton-passing relay speed that defensive coordinator Mike Pettine is bracing for, imploring safeties to measure angles carefully and limit exposure to attacks vertically.

"If you think you're deep, go deeper," Pettine said. "They have guys who can blow the roof off defenses.""
