After the Silver and Black wrapped up their on-field work Thursday, defensive coordinator Ken Norton, Jr., spoke to the media.
Here are the major takeaways from his media session.
While there is definitely room for improvement with the Raiders defense, Norton spoke about some of the positives his unit has shown through two preseason games.
“A lot of things to like. No. 1 is working hard. The guys, we always want to talk about coaching effort first, so they’re giving everything they have. They are really learning how to do the things that the good defenses do – stop the run, stay on top, sustain their passion throughout the game and just make it hard on offenses.
