Klint Kubiak Gives Defensive Coordinator Rob Leonard a Vote of Confidence
Kubiak said he is not planning defensive changes after the Raiders allowed 30 or more points in six straight games.
- Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak insisted Monday he has no plans to make defensive changes, giving defensive coordinator Rob Leonard a vote of confidence following Sunday's 38-17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
- That defense has allowed over 30 points in six consecutive games, tying an NFL record. Since Week 4, Las Vegas has ranked last in points allowed and defensive efficiency.
- During the team's 3-0 start, the Raiders ranked eighth in points allowed and 11th in total yards , but performance has cratered since the fourth week of the season.
- Safety Jeremy Chinn emphasized the need for a mentality shift, saying the team must "come into the game pissed off." Kubiak stated he stands behind his staff to develop players for the long haul.
- The Raiders host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10, a critical test for Leonard's unit. If the defense cannot keep Seattle from scoring over 30 points, organizational leadership may consider making a change.
