Beyond all the talk of schemes and big DL vs. little DL...one thing that i hope may change with Meeks as the DC (and possibly more directly with whomever is hired as defensive back coach) is our ability to actually hang on to interceptions.

I really don't know what happened in the past couple of years with our guys, but there was a time when Gamble and Lucas were talking about getting 10+ each for the season.

The HUGE number we dropped this season was astounding to me personally as a fan, but apparently more of joke to the coaching staff and media...see the whole better to be known as ricochet than burnt improv routine...I don't have the stats to support me, but it sure feels like we dropped at least one a game if not two or three in some.

I am not asking for circus catches, just hang on to the ones that hit you in the hands (or chest or even head).

(anyway, this is my first post back to the huddle in a while so i'll leave it short and sweet)

    • Olsen was with Chicago 3 or 4 years and took a while to bloom. I remember wishing we could get him at 25 n 2007 but we took Beason. Couldn’t complain about that. I would really love to get a Jon Beason level ILB this draft.  We have 4-5 other positions that could really use some 1st round talent.  I feel like there will be someone at 19 at one of those positions with talent comparable to Sadiq.  I am not gonna argue individuals really, I have done no research. Just philosophy. Address the holes unless it just isn’t close.  
    • The Raiders have completed a second interview with Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The team has complied with the Rooney Rule after interviewing Evero and former Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel, who appears headed to the Chargers as offensive coordinator. That allows the Raiders to hire a new coach at any time. Evero has served as the Panthers’ defensive coordinator since 2023, first taking the job under former head coach Frank Reich. While Carolina finished at the bottom of the league defensively in 2024, Evero helped turn the unit around to finish No. 16 in yards and No. 15 in points allowed in 2025. Evero has coordinated two top-10 defenses — first with what the Broncos in 2022 (No. 7 in yards allowed) and then with the Panthers in 2023 (No. 4 in yards allowed). He has also worked for the 49ers, Packers and Rams. The Raiders also have Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, 49ers offensive coordinator Klay Kubiak, Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy, Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase, Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula and Broncos quarterbacks coach Davis Webb among their candidates. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/raiders-complete-second-interview-with-panthers-dc-ejiro-evero
