ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Derek Carr laughed.
No, not in a smarmy way. Not even as if he had just heard an uproarious joke. More like, well, relief.
The Oakland Raiders quarterback is under duress unlike any time before in his career -- he is on pace to be sacked a career-high 48 times -- and had been asked if he had leaned on older brother David for some advice. David Carr, you'll recall, was sacked an NFL-record 76 times as a rookie for the expansion Houston Texans in 2002, 49 times in 2004 and 68 times in 2005.
