When we review the backend of this defensive group, we could try and pull a few positives, but outside Karl Joseph and Gareon Conely, there isn’t much to be excited about. While Conley did flash skill, he did leave us wanting more hoping he could establish himself as a true difference maker. With that said, not having a great deal of support, he did have a fairly good season. Karl Joseph in our eyes could become a very special player given the correct opportunity which may not be in Oakland. Reports during the year had Karl on the trade block, but a partner couldn’t be found. It would be a shame for Raiders nation to see Joseph wearing a different color next season.
