The Las Vegas Raiders' defense, led by Patrick Graham, is poised to become one of the best in the league. A few non-negotiables will help ensure the unit reaches its potential.
The Las Vegas Raiders’ defense enters this season with the chance to prove the last nine games of last season were no fluke. Las Vegas’ defense went from being serviceable to a defense that ended the season in or near the top half of many statistical categories. Despite their success last season, the Raiders defense still had room to grow this offseason.
The roster additions and coaching staff have led to high expectations for the Raiders' defense this season. However, with so much expected of a relatively young defense, they will still be held accountable by the Raiders’ coaching staff to be as mentally and physically tough as possible. “Toughness, mentally and physically. That’s non-negotiable,” Manning said. “You have got to be tough in this league. You got to be able to fight through injuries, you got to be able to fight through losses, got to be able to fight through giving up a play or two.”
