What It Means:

Allen has been taking on the ball hawk role in the offseason, and that means Woodson won't have to roam in the secondary like he has done for the past two seasons.

In 2014, the Raiders ranked 25th in pass defense, according to our schedule-adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points metric last season, which compares a team to expectation level. This year, Woodson is projected to secure 100 tackles and 2 interceptions, according to our algorithms. Allen is pegged for 78 tackles and 2 interceptions.
