The Las Vegas Raiders introduced new defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, offensive coordinator Mick Lombardi and special teams coach Tom McMahon to the media Friday morning.
Below are some thoughts on each coach’s remarks:
Graham:
He was extremely affable and I believe he will be much more quotable than the more guarded Josh McDaniels.
As expected, Graham downplayed the importance of playing a 4-3 or a 3-4 defense. He even called those alignments “antiquated.” He emphasized the importance of sub defenses and noted that often NFL defenses are in 4-2-5 defenses. “It’s a 4-2-5 world” Graham quipped.
