Raiders' Kubiak expresses confidence in DC Leonard amid struggles
HENDERSON, Nev. -- Las Vegas Raiders coach Klint Kubiak does not anticipate any changes to the defense, expressing confidence in first-time defensive coordinator Rob Leonard after their 38-17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday -- the sixth straight game of allowing 30-plus points.
"In fact, I see us doing the things we said we're going to do [but] better," Kubiak said Monday. "Stand behind, Rob. Stand behind our defensive staff. Stand behind our players. And I think the world wants someone's head on the platter every time things don't go right. But the way that I see it is that we brought people here for a reason: to get a job done and develop players for the long haul."
