After watching the Raiders' minicamp, one of the big takeaways is just how good the new starting duo of David Amerson and Sean Smith look. Both were steadily making life very difficult for Derek Carr and his wide receivers.
Claiming the 6-1, 205 pound Amerson early last season and then adding the 6-3, 218 pound Smith this offseason gives the team two of the largest starting cornerback tandems in the league. That's just how Ken Norton Jr likes it, especially after his years on staff with the Seahawks Legion of Boom secondary in Seattle.
