Sam Boyd not an option if team bolts Oakland early, source says
Contingency sites being studied but none in Las Vegas
ALAMEDA, Calif. — The Raiders remain bound for Las Vegas when — not before — a new stadium is constructed there.
Sam Boyd Stadium is not considered a contingency site for home games in 2019 should the franchise’s lease with the Oakland-alameda said. “Just having more fun with the game, not so much worried about the game plan and what the offense may be doing but just executing our techniques.”
This season, coaches have employed a rotation in the secondary.
For example, at cornerback Sunday against Cleveland, Rashaan Melvin played 72 of 82 defensive snaps. Gareon Conley played 54. Nickel corner Leon Hall appeared in 47, and Dominique Rodgers-cromartie saw 28.
Worley’s presence will impact that order, they know.
“He’s another starting-caliber corner that can come in and help us out,” Melvin said. “We understand that anytime you can have four different DBS on the field at different times and rotate in, it keeps your body fresh. We are all competing for a starting job, and we all want to play. There’s only two corners on the field at the same time. We just use it as competition to keep pushing, keep getting better so we can build a dynamic secondary.”
