ALAMEDA, Calif. -- 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 Ryan Kesler Jersey .

MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade still isnt totally ready to leave Miami.He felt he had no choice.The soon-to-be Chicago Bulls guard offered his side Saturday of the process that led to the end of his 13 years with the Miami Heat and deciding to play for his hometown team. Wade insisted he has the utmost respect and admiration for Heat President Pat Riley -- who drafted him in 2003, coached him to his first title in 2006 and now played a role that led to him leaving a franchise thats clearly in transition.And despite his anger about the breakup, he made clear that he will never bash the Heat or Riley.I love Pat Riley, Wade said. Hes been someone whos been a figurehead in my life since I got drafted here at 21. But at the same time, he has a job to do. He has a different hat to wear. That hat sometimes is not to be my best friend. That hat is to be the president of an organization and to be a businessman. And it sucks. You know somebody so well, you guys love each other, but the business side comes out.Im not saying that weve hugged and cried and shed tears at this moment. But I love Pat. And I will always love Pat. And, you know, I know he feels the same way about me.Since Wade announced Wednesday that hell sign with the Bulls, hes felt countless emotions. He went past the arena the Heat call home Friday, blown away by the tribute the team was paying to him on external video screens. He couldnt believe how many people were lined up to buy merchandise with his name and number on the back. He choked up when he saw the full-page ad the Heat took out for him in South Florida newspapers.Moments like this, it sucks, Wade said. The business side of the sport, sometimes it just sucks. Thats what were dealing with.Miami offered just over $40 million for two years with hopes he stayed. Chicago landed him with a contract worth about $47 million for two years.Wade was in a hotel room in New York when he made the decision to leave Miami, and before long he started seeing the video montages of his Heeat career coming across screens.dddddddddddd.It seemed funereal.They started playing tribute videos and Ive assumed thats what its going to be like when Im no longer on this Earth, Wade said. Thats what it felt like. It felt like it really was the end of life.And I guess in a sense its the end of life in Miami -- as of now.Wade won three titles with the Heat, leads the franchise in plenty of stat categories, was a 12-time All-Star in a Miami uniform. And there will be undoubtedly be speculation about a return one day, which is not out of the question. The Heats ad thanking Wade included these words: Well leave a key under the mat for you.This aint the ending of this book, but we got through a lot of chapters of this book, Wade said. And this is a best-seller, for sure.His sons and nephew that hes raising have mixed emotions about the move. His nephew was particularly leery, since he moved from Chicago to Miami for a better life -- and now hes going back to a city that Wade knows has big problems with crime, particularly violent crime.At the end of the day, they will understand as they get older they will have to make decisions for their families, Wade said. Some decisions are hard. ... Some are going to be seamless and easy.This one fell into the hard column.He drove around Miami on Friday with his hand out the window, grabbing at the warm air that hell think about when in frigid Chicago this winter. Hell be in Chicago on Monday for a physical. He then heads to Los Angeles for the ESPY awards and business commitments before going to China for a week of promotional appearances.As of now, the plan is for the Bulls to introduce him July 29.So that will be Hello, Chicago.If Wade gets his way, there will never truly be a Farewell, Miami.This is never goodbye to South Florida, Wade said. The words, `Heat Lifer, Im a Heat for life. Ill always be a Heat. ' ' '
