Oakland Raiders offseason position review: defensive line

Oakland Raiders offseason position review: defensive line

But the area they struggled most in was rushing the passer. Defensive coordinator Jason Tarver tried to make it work with just his front four. However, only 14 of the teams 38 sacks came from the defensive line. On a both promising, and bad…
