Earlier in the week the Raiders released veteran linebacker
Youth Kolton Miller Jersey , Derrick Johnson after only six games.In a corresponding move they promoted undrafted free agent linebacker, Jason
Cabinda.Cabinda, played four years as a Penn State Nittany Lion, starting in 36
of 43 games.As a senior he received second team all Big 10 honors.Cabinda made a
name for himself in Happy Valley with his toughness and leadership
qualities.Some of the strengths of Cabinda’s game are his ability to take on and
shed blocks and his aggressive play. Cabinda earned himself first team reps with
Raiders during the preseason.He was eventually cut and then signed to their
practice squad.Because of his impressive play throughout the summer, the Raiders
feared he could be signed to another teams active roster.“Cabinda had generated
a lot of interest from other teams. We didn’t want to lose him. It was a tough
decision and we got to try and improve our run defense. We are going to give
Cabinda a shot,” said Gruden.Cabinda will join a group of linebackers who have
been underwhelming to say the least.The Raiders run defense ranks 29th in the
league, and as Gruden said Cabinda was signed to improve in this area.In the
week four preseason game against Seattle

showed up well in both the run and pass game.In college, Cabinda was known as a
“thumper,” he demonstrates why on this play from the preseason.On this play he
display’s his ability to diagnosis a screen pass and quickly get to the ball.He
finishes the play with another big hit.The final clip, again shows his
aggressive nature quickly getting to the ball carrier.It’s hard to get overly
excited about film from a week four preseason game, but if there is anything to
take away from the small sample size we have on Jason Cabinda it’s that he is an
aggressive, reliable tackler.For years, the Raiders have struggled to find a guy
they can count on in the middle of the defense.Hopefully
