If there was one specific aspect of the Las Vegas Raiders that exuded the swagger head coach Antonio Pierce wants out of his football team, it was the defense.
The bravado and confidence spread like wildfire on Patrick Graham’s side of the ball and one of the lasting image of the 2023 campaign was seeing Raiders cornerback Jack Jones stare down Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as the defensive back ran into the end zone for a touchdown after he read the signal caller like a book for an interception Christmas Day.
So it was no surprise to hear what Jones said on Wednesday after the team’s organized team activity (OTA) when asked how the Raiders maintain that brashness going forward.
