How Daryl Worley’s new hybrid role will help the Raiders defense

While the bye week is typically a relaxed period for players, coaches spend quite a bit of time assessing how the team can improve. For defensive coordinator Paul Guenther, that meant addressing the Oakland Raiders secondary issues.

Daryl Worley and his role on the Oakland Raiders defense appears to be one of the coach’s solutions.

Reports are the cornerback is going to have an expanded role as a ‘hybrid player‘. The veteran has played well this year and clearly the coaching staff has taken notice. Combining Guenther’s scheme and Worley’s skill set gives reason to believe this new role will enhance Oakland’s defense.
