From the very beginning of the Jon Gruden Era in Oakland (and now Vegas), Gruden has created a methodical offense to protect Derek Carr from Derek Carr. This season, the Raiders have allowed a pressure rate of just 17.6% per Sportradar data, one of the 10 lowest in the NFL. That's even better than the 20.3% rate they allowed last season. Gruden has mostly been able to accomplish this via scheme, making it harder for defenses to come after Carr because of extra tight ends and backs. The Raiders have run just 47% of their plays in 11 personnel this year per Sharp Football Stats, one of the six lowest rates in the NFL.
