To put it kindly, our secondary has been underwhelming this season.  The Raiders have no real star receivers and if Cox and the rest of the guys can’t keep them contained then we have some serious problems.  It’s time for these guys to move up, stop giving such a big cushion and start dominating receivers at the line.  They’ve been way too soft and hopefully this is the game when they turn things around.
