LONDON – Raiders head coach Jon Gruden and offensive coordinator Greg Olson made it crystal clear they’d like Derek Carr to R-E-L-A-X sometimes in the pocket.
Both coaches expressed that Carr may be trying too hard times, resulting in negative plays. He has an NFL-high eight interceptions, including three thrown in the end zone.
This has been a hot topic after Carr threw a pick on first-and-goal from the 1-yard line against the Los Angeles Chargers last week, when he should’ve thrown it away and lived to fight another day.
Carr is adjusting to his fourth play-caller and third brand-new offensive scheme since starting the entire 2014 season as a rookie.
