After covering the offense last week, we shift to the defensive side of the ball and we pick up where we left off -- in the trenches. This is an area Jack Del Rio said recently that he and Reggie McKenzie share an appreciation. Both being linebackers, you can see why they would appreciate having some lane clogger to take the pressure off the defensive backfield.
The Raiders added big defensive tackle Dan Williams in the offseason but not before taking a run the likes of Ndamukong Suh and Jared Odrick.
