The fact that Carr is reaching out to other receivers and TE’s besides Waller is really key. Many times in cover two, Carr would just wait for Cook and then Waller over the middle to get open or take a sack or throw it away.JRaider17 » Mon Nov 04, 2019 7:48 pm
Defenses have started to really key in on Waller, and now the other players around him are stepping up. I would expect him to start putting up bigger numbers again soon as the adjustments continue to happen. It may not be as high as earlier in the season, but probably more than recent weeks.ALLRAIDERWORLD21 » Tue Nov 05, 2019 1:57 am
Yeah they're keying on Waller but Carr has so much time in the pocket these days, finding an open receiver should not be much of an issue. Also, Gruden points in the clip below how Carr has become a "coach on the field" now recognizing defenses, leading the rookies, and extending plays.Radman » Tue Nov 05, 2019 5:38 am
Careful, the article quotes Gruden as complimenting Carr's intelligence. There's a couple of posters that may not be able to handle that lol!ALLRAIDERWORLD21 wrote Tue Nov 05, 2019 1:57 am:Yeah they're keying on Waller but Carr has so much time in the pocket these days, finding an open receiver should not be much of an issue.

Gruden talked about this with the press yesterday. He said Waller is starting to get double coverages so other players have to profit of the extra space. He said every NFL team tries to take out the first option and force the opposition to play "left handed" and the Raiders "left handers" are Renfrow and the running backs participating more in the passing game.CarrKnight » Tue Nov 05, 2019 7:53 am

It seems obvious Carr is getting confidence as he gets more comfortable with the system. I'd argue it also comes as he gets confidence in the players around him and their comfort level with the system as well. He's built/building a rapport with Waller, Moreau, Renfrow, and Williams. Hopefully Davis and Jones can be added to that list soon too. Oh, and Richard. He clearly trusts Richard.

Waller getting double teamed only helps out everyone else. He still had two great catches on Sunday. Key catches in drives where we put up points.ALLRAIDERWORLD21 » Tue Nov 05, 2019 9:01 am
Richard and Carr have been together the longest that's why. Richard was on the 2016 team and has great on field rapport with Carr and feel for Carr's passing game. That's probably one of the reasons Richard has nor been dealt or cut even with his fumble issues the prior two seasons.Radman wrote Tue Nov 05, 2019 5:38 am:Careful, the article quotes Gruden as complimenting Carr's intelligence.
