While Josh McDaniels was hired by the Las Vegas Raiders as their head coach for his offensive expertise, he has built a coaching staff that also puts large emphasis on the defensive side of the ball.
What sticks out is the extra levels of coaching McDaniels has added to his defensive staff.
The first piece of the puzzle was hiring Patrick Graham as defensive coordinator. Graham, who was brought up in the New England Bill Belichick system like McDaniels, will be entering his fourth season as an NFL defensive coordinator. He is run defense expert.
