Jon Gruden's fingerprints are everywhere – difficult start for the Raiders season

LOS ANGELES – Raiders defensive coordinator Paul Guenther would prefer to have two half-turns outside. He used a rotation at this point, trying to find ideal candidates for his position.

Rashaan Melvin and Gareon Conley got the first result, but Daryl Worley is a real threat to Conley's starting point.

Worley returned from suspension on Sunday in a 26-10 loss to L.A. Chargers at StubHub Center and played well. He also played a lot.

Worley was involved in 49 shots. Conley only played 13 years and had some difficulties when he was active. The choice of last year's first round is a solid cover man, but he fights for some as a tackler and exudes the physical aspect that coaches prefer in their semi-turns.

"It's great to have [Worley] come back and see where he is, "said Raiders coach Jon Gruden. "He had a good week of practice. He made some pieces today, some physical parts. We had a lot of moving parts in this football team during the first five weeks of the three phases: the kicker, the kicker, the long snapper, the offensive line, the defensive line and the corner. It's good to receive it. He is a guy who could stabilize us in this position. "

Another transition takes place at the linebacker. Marquel Lee was the base defense star, with Derrick Johnson taking responsibility for the sub-packages. These roles are less certain now, Lee taking almost every game inside.

Lee played 46 times against Johnson, is this a sign? Is this a sign that Johnson has fallen out of favor, or has Lee become a better player in the cover?

In addition, Amari Cooper played 50 snapshots and was only targeted once. It's not a good ratio.
