No team in the NFL has a bigger gulf between offensive and defensive DVOA than the Raiders. In year 2 of the Jon Gruden experience, the offense is humming along, sitting at No. 8 overall, just behind New Orleans and Baltimore and ahead of the undefeated Patriots and 49ers.
The defense, however, has been a train wreck, ranking above only the tanking Dolphins and Bengals at No. 30. With a myriad of moves made this offseason to fortify the defense, it is disappointing that this massive chasm persists.
