The Raiders don't have all the talent in the world on defense but scheming is a big part of it. They have the leagues "largest" linebacking corp in the league. Their two outside LB's are 280lbs. (including former Bill Grant Irons) Great against the run, not so good in pass coverage. Speaking of pass coverage, why in the name of God did they keep running two or three LB's out there when the Pats were emptying the backfield. I'm pretty sure dime or quarter packages would be exclusive at that point.
