Watching the Oakland Raiders offense over the past few weeks, it’s hard not to notice that Derek Carr is operating almost exclusively from the shotgun on game days.
The reason for that is certainly open to interpretation, but the fact remains that since injuring a finger on his throwing hand in the team’s Week 12 win over the Carolina Panthers, the Raiders have elected to keep their starting quarterback from lining up under center.
Carr has fielded questions about the team’s choice of formations ad nauseam since the win over the Panthers, and he did so once again earlier this week, noting that the Raiders have been effective running the football, even with their reluctance to put No.
