ALAMEDA — Paul Guenther wasn’t going to run away from the question.
The Raiders defensive coordinator understands his last line of defense isn’t going to be running a four by 100-meter relay any time soon. Hence the response Thursday when Guenther was asked if his deep secondary was fast enough to get the job done.
“We got what we got,” Guenther said, “so we have to do the best with what we got right now.”
The Raiders have been hemorrhaging big plays through four games, but in the last two games in particular. Against Miami there were 74- and 52-yard jet sweeps for touchdowns.
