ALAMEDA – TJ Carrie hadn’t played safety since high school, so it hesitance was understandable when he was asked to do so at the NFL level.
The Raiders coaching staff asked for a tall task from their best cornerback, an attempt to add coverage ability and speed to an area of weakness.
“You’re going to be hesitant at first before you’re playing at the NFL level and you’re playing at a position you don’t have much experience with,” Carr said. “But I’m an athlete and I am able to adjust to what’s going on pretty well. The more I practice, the better I get.
