Defensive tackle was a weak spot on the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster heading into the season, and it still is nine weeks into the campaign. That’s part of the reason why the New York Giants were able to average nearly five yards per rush against the Raiders in Week 9 as a lot of Las Vegas’ interior defenders struggled to hold up against the run.
The team is looking for someone to step up at the position, especially as a 3-technique, and that player could be rookie Nesta Jade Silvera during the back half of the campaign.
