Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden wants QB Derek Carr to let the ball fly this season. ‘At the beginning of practice we work on the red line, the 50-50 balls,’ Gruden said Thursday, Aug. 28. ‘And when you have Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams, you have to commit to yourself throwing them, and same with (Darren Waller). We got to throw the ball down the field and if it’s incomplete or we get the catch, we can always challenge (Al Riveron, the senior vice president of officiating) in New York and see what he thinks.’
