ALAMEDA, Calif.
Nike Sb Cheap Wholesale . -- Despite being on
pace to set an NFL record for yards allowed, Raiders defensive coordinator Ken
Norton Jr. has no plans to make any major changes.Oakland ranks last in total
defense and is 24th in points allowed heading into Sundays game at Jacksonville.
The problems have been widespread, from missed tackles to blown coverages to
communication issues that have derailed the teams otherwise promising start.The
Raiders made two personnel changes prior to Week 3, inserting first-round draft
pick Karl Joseph and fellow rookie Cory James into the starting lineup. Beyond
that, things have mostly stayed the same and the disappointing results have
continued to pile up.While fans have been clamoring for a change of some kind,
Norton insists he has no plans to do anything differently.It depends on what you
believe in, Norton said Thursday. Obviously youd like the stats to be better.
Were in a pretty good place record-wise but your stats need to be better. We
need to continue understanding what we are, who we are and get better at what
were doing.The little things, the details, need to be taken care of. You look at
the real good defenses (and) you look at our defense, theres not a lot of
differences. But they make the plays that theyre supposed to make.Through six
games the Raiders havent made very many plays at all defensively.Oakland has
held only one team -- Tennessee in Week 3 -- to fewer than 400 yards and is on
pace to give up 7,117 yards for the entire season. That would break the NFL
record of 7,042 yards allowed by the New Orleans Saints in 2012.Raiders coach
Jack Del Rio, who spent three seasons as defensive coordinator in Denver, took
over play-calling from Norton at one point during a Week 2 loss to Atlanta but
has otherwise allowed his coordinator to run the defense.Like Norton, Del Rio
acknowledged the need for improvement but said that making sweeping changes isnt
part of the solution for now.Its clear that were not operating the way that we
need to operate to play really good defense, Del Rio said. It starts with the
communication aspect, from the sideline to the huddle, from the huddle amongst
each other out there. Thats one of the areas. When that cleans up, its going to
alleviate a lot of issues that were having.Del Rio pointed to the teams youth on
defense as part of the reason the team has struggled. Oakland starts three
rookies on defense -- Joseph, James and defensive end Jihad Ward. Three other
starters -- defensive end Khalil Mack, defensive tackle Justin Ellis and
cornerback David Amerson -- have been in the league less than four years.Norton
echoed Del Rios feelings and said that more than anything the Raiders lack
consistency.We have the right people. Its a matter of getting it done on game
day, Norton said. We need to make the plays consistently. We need to stay on
top, we need to tackle, we need to certainly be more clear and everybody wants
to talk about communication, but its about consistency over the duration of the
game, showing up with a game mindset and winning. We have to be sharper and we
have to play better.Note: Running back Latavius Murray practiced for a second
straight day after missing two games with a toe injury. Murray has been limited
but the coaching staff is hopeful he can play in Jacksonville.----Online:AP NFL
