Jon Gruden: Derek Carr will be asked to do more in Raiders' offense
Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will take on more responsibilities at the line of scrimmage, new head coach Jon Gruden said.
"We're going to put him in a position to do some of the things we did in the past with his recognition of defenses, his ability to communicate and showcase his talented arm," Gruden told NBC Sports Bay Area. "I think the offense will demand more from him, which will really improve him." Carr regressed significantly under center this past season but the Raiders are hopeful that the addition of Gruden -- and removal of Jack Del Rio -- will help the quarterback return to a high level of play.
Carr averaged 14.5 FanDuel points this season while averaging 233.1 passing yards a game and completing 62.7 percent of his passes, with 22 touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
