Smith's blitz vulnerability makes him a prime target for Raiders' pressure schemes in Week 8.

Smith gets rattled when blitzed and continues to wilt under pressure; he was sacked 21 times this season (fourth-most in NFL) and threw 19 touchdowns with 17 interceptions last year as a 15-game starter for the Raiders, establishing a pattern of vulnerability to aggressive pass rush schemes.
