ALAMEDA, Calif. Cheap Jets Jerseys . -- Despite being on pace to set an NFL record for yards allowed, Raiders defensive coordinator Ken Norton Jr. has no plans to make any major changes.Oakland ranks last in total defense and is 24th in points allowed heading into Sundays game at Jacksonville. The problems have been widespread, from missed tackles to blown coverages to communication issues that have derailed the teams otherwise promising start.The Raiders made two personnel changes prior to Week 3, inserting first-round draft pick Karl Joseph and fellow rookie Cory James into the starting lineup. Beyond that, things have mostly stayed the same and the disappointing results have continued to pile up.While fans have been clamoring for a change of some kind, Norton insists he has no plans to do anything differently.It depends on what you believe in, Norton said Thursday. Obviously youd like the stats to be better. Were in a pretty good place record-wise but your stats need to be better. We need to continue understanding what we are, who we are and get better at what were doing.The little things, the details, need to be taken care of. You look at the real good defenses (and) you look at our defense, theres not a lot of differences. But they make the plays that theyre supposed to make.Through six games the Raiders havent made very many plays at all defensively.Oakland has held only one team -- Tennessee in Week 3 -- to fewer than 400 yards and is on pace to give up 7,117 yards for the entire season. That would break the NFL record of 7,042 yards allowed by the New Orleans Saints in 2012.Raiders coach Jack Del Rio, who spent three seasons as defensive coordinator in Denver, took over play-calling from Norton at one point during a Week 2 loss to Atlanta but has otherwise allowed his coordinator to run the defense.Like Norton, Del Rio acknowledged the need for improvement but said that making sweeping changes isnt part of the solution for now.Its clear that were not operating the way that we need to operate to play really good defense, Del Rio said. It starts with the communication aspect, from the sideline to the huddle, from the huddle amongst each other out there. Thats one of the areas. When that cleans up, its going to alleviate a lot of issues that were having.Del Rio pointed to the teams youth on defense as part of the reason the team has struggled. Oakland starts three rookies on defense -- Joseph, James and defensive end Jihad Ward. Three other starters -- defensive end Khalil Mack, defensive tackle Justin Ellis and cornerback David Amerson -- have been in the league less than four years.Norton echoed Del Rios feelings and said that more than anything the Raiders lack consistency.We have the right people. Its a matter of getting it done on game day, Norton said. We need to make the plays consistently. We need to stay on top, we need to tackle, we need to certainly be more clear and everybody wants to talk about communication, but its about consistency over the duration of the game, showing up with a game mindset and winning. We have to be sharper and we have to play better.Note: Running back Latavius Murray practiced for a second straight day after missing two games with a toe injury. Murray has been limited but the coaching staff is hopeful he can play in Jacksonville.----Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Joe Klecko Jersey .

Indias Shiv Chowrasia, who has finished runner-up in this tournament twice, was in second place after a 66.WINNIPEG -- It was a win that could prove as dominant as it was costly for the Toronto Argonauts. Argos quarterback Ricky Ray was nearly perfect in a 35-19 win over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Friday. Ray, who missed only one of his 20 pass attempts all night as he threw for 286 yards, left mid-way through the third quarter after being tackled. The extent of his injury isnt known. Toronto also lost key receiver Chad Kackert, who suffered a possible knee injury in the fourth quarter. "Were hopeful Rickys (injury) is not as serious," said coach Scott Milanovich. "Chads never gone through any kind of knee injury so hes not sure how it feels." Winnipeg quarterback Buck Pierce and defensive back Johnny Sears were also injured. Coach Tim Burke said Pierce suffered an abdominal injury that happened in the first half. "He was able to keep playing and at half time we looked at him and thought he would be able to continue to play in the second half," said Burke. "When he got out there and started warming up he decided he wouldnt be able to go." With Sears, who was playing in his first game since being injured late last season, its his foot. Both Burke and Milanovich said an interception Pierce threw in the first half was a turning point in the game. It led to Torontos first touchdown. But they also said Rays performance was huge. "He was unbelievable and hes played that way all year," said Milanovich. The Argos (2-2) jumped into a 21-6 lead by halftime on touchdowns by Chad Owens, Spencer Watt and Zach Collaros. Ray added one of his own in the second half. Noel Prefontaine had two field goals and a point on one he missed. As predicted, Pierce was more mobile. But his offence wasnt a lot more effective than it has been so far
