Five things we learned Wednesday as the Raiders began preparations to face the Denver Broncos in Week 2:
1) Derek Carr feels the heat — but not until after he gets burned.
Chatter is rampant that the Raiders’ quarterback has happy feet. Having sustained a broken finger, a broken leg and a fractured transverse process in his back, everyone with a remote, a Twitter account or a call-in number for talk radio has diagnosed Carr doesn’t want to get hit and is skittish as a result.
There’s a theory that Carr wasn’t the same after taking a sack in the second half against the Rams from Michael Brockers.
