The Raiders’ defense had hidden gems last season—ranking third in the league at stopping first downs and touchdowns, with a solid 38.4% success rate. New defensive coordinator Rob Leonard, who coached the line last year, has the inside track to build on those flashes. The team’s early-game strength needs to translate into full 60-minute consistency. With new talent and a hopefully more productive offense keeping them off the field, Leonard’s got a strong foundation. The goal? Turn promising moments into sustained dominance across all units and create a truly balanced, winning team.
