Raiders Switch to 3-4 Defense, Bolster Line with New Signings

Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description

The Las Vegas Raiders are revamping their defense for 2026, adopting a three-four scheme under new coordinator Rob Leonard. Key signings include edge rusher Kwity Paye and Malcolm Koonce, joining star Maxx Crosby. This setup allows for versatile blitz looks, with Crosby excelling as a seven-tech pass rusher, Paye thriving against the run, and Tyree Wilson sliding inside to five-tech or deeper. The defensive line is further bolstered by Adam Butlers flexibility, Tonka Hemingways athleticism, and J J Pegues nose tackle potential. This diverse unit promises to generate more pressure and stay fresh through rotations.
