The Raiders are officially shifting to a 3-4 base defense — and that changes a lot.

In this episode of the Silver & Black Sports Network Podcast, Jesse Merrick breaks down what the transition to a 3-4 base defense means for Rob Leonard, the current roster, and how this defense could look moving forward.

But that’s just the start.

We also dive into:

• What Klint Kubiak said about the offensive line — and what it signals about the Raiders’ plans

• Which current players benefit most from the scheme changes

• Key prospects Raider Nation should be watching at the NFL Combine
