Organized Team Activity No. 3 Observations: Defense Makes Its Presence Felt

The Oakland Raiders wrapped up their first week of Organized Team Activities [OTAs] Thursday, completing their third of 10 practices allowed during Phrase Three of the Offseason Workout Program.

Here are some things I noticed from their final workout of the week.

1. The Defense Impressed

While they lost the final team period of the day – and had to do pushups as a result – the defense did look impressive for a majority of Thursday’s practice.

While the offense sporadically looked out of sorts, fumbling and dropping passes, the defense was flying around Thursday afternoon making their presence felt between the hash marks.
