Raiders | Richard Seymour likes new defensive approach
Oakland Raiders DL Richard Seymour said he likes what he sees from the new defensive scheme implemented by head coach Dennis Allen and defensive coordinator Jason Tarver. The defense intends to be multiple, meaning an infusion of a 3-4 alignment, more zone coverage and frequent blitzing from all over the field. ‘If you want to be one of the best, or one of the elite, in the league, you have to be able to do multiple things,’ Seymour said. ‘Be versatile, playing this front, that front, rush the passer, stop the run, just being an every-down player. That’s how you make yourself valuable. It’s hard work but this is a big-boy league.’

Raiders | Darren McFadden will not change running style
Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden said he does not intend to change his aggressive style of play, even if it makes him more susceptible to injury. ‘It’s one of those things, it happens in football,’ McFadden said of injuries. ‘I can’t say I’m unlucky about it because I’m a very blessed person to even be playing in this league. I just go out there and take it one day at a time. I can’t control injuries. If I get hurt, I’m going to get hurt going hard because that’s something I can’t control, and I’m not going to go out there and play not to get hurt.’
