Whether or not they switch Mack from linebacker to defensive end, the Raiders are planning to unleash him after the quarterback on nearly every play.

"He's pretty dog-gone good getting after the quarterback," general manager Reggie McKenzie said, via NFL.com. "He's really good going forward, and it's an opportunity to do a lot of different things with him. He's a dominant defensive player, so you want to let him do what he does best. We'll move him around and play him at different spots. That was the outlook for the defensive staff this offseason, was to put him in position to make plays."
Mack earned only four sacks in 2014, but compiled 52 quarterback pressures. The Raiders plan to increase those numbers this year.
