Las Vegas Raiders: 3 keys for the defense to improve and thrive in 2023

Conclusion

I could honestly throw a few other names in there, but bottom line is I believe the Raiders defense could really thrive this season and going forward, especially if the defensive line steps up like I believed it has the potential to.

Now it’s time to put it all together.

To me, the main key is the defensive line, it could be a very underrated unit going into the 2023 season with a lot of potential. However, potential doesn’t matter if none of the players play up to it. Games are won in the trenches, and as the late Raiders owner and NFL legend AL Davis used to say, “The other teams’ quarterback must go down, and he must go down hard.”

Only time will tell who steps up and how much the Raiders defense really improves and thrives this upcoming season, but hopefully they start to get back to what they used to be: Mean, feared, consistent and most importantly, winners.
