2018 was a bad year for the Oakland Raiders. A lackluster offense and a porous defense resulted in a dismal 4-12 record. While Derek Carr and company did their best to keep the team in games, defensive coordinator Paul Guenther’s unit failed to hold up their end of the bargain.
Head coach Jon Gruden and first-year general manager Mike Mayock have made a concerted effort this offseason to fill the holes and stop the leaks. However, it’s the work of their predecessors that may prove most valuable in the end.
