Silver Minings: Raiders defense continues to dominate during training camp
The Las Vegas Raiders defense has been disappointing for over 20 years. With only one top-ten defense during that span, Raider Nation is hungry to return to a defensive identity.
In 2023 the defense is led by superstar edge rusher Maxx Crosby and the young talent around him. Raiders added draft picks such as Jakorian Bennett and Tyree Wilson. They then surrounded these players with veterans like Marcus Peters and Marcus Epps to round out the secondary.
The dividends are paying off early as the defense is stringing together performances that catch the eye of fans. Facing an offense with high expectations and holding its own can't give the players newfound confidence.
