Pagano: 'We're All On One-Day Contracts'
The Raiders defense showed statistical improvements almost across the board in the first two games with John Pagano running the defense after defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. was fired. Pagano discussed a few of the changes he made along with the impact of middle linebacker NaVorro Bowman during his weekly meeting with reporters:
Q: Jack Del Rio said he wanted the guys to play faster. How do you make that happen?
A: I think the one thing we’re trying to truly establish — I think the main thing is — and you’ve got to do it in a couple of days is you have to play with confidence. You have to have that ability of going out there, knowing your assignment and playing faster. It’s not to say that there have been times where we’ve simplified things, but taking the thinking out of the game and making them react is, I think, most important. Going out there and playing fast and that’s doing the little extra things, the attention to details of studying and getting those things processed. See ball, go get ball.
Q: How is this defense going to look different, if at all, under you?

âWe have to be a much more detailed football team'

NEWS & NOTES
The Raiders had one of the easier schedules in 2020 and got only eight wins to show for it. Things wonât get any easier in 2021, either.
Looking back at 2020 season
The 2020 season will absolutely be remembered for being one of the strangest and most disappointing in franchise history.
Gruden feeling the heat?
âI know there is a big bullâs-eye on my chest, certainly. If the people want to use that as an incentive, then so be it. I worked for Al Davis in 1998. That was pressure. I was 34 years old. Iâve dealt with pressure before. I donât really feel pressure. I love the excitement and thrill of competing, and I canât worry about things I canât control in that regard. I know people will want to step on me and beat me, and that is just the way this league is.â
