AJ McCarron taking crash course in Raiders offensive scheme
Amari Cooper 'kinda anxious' for Raiders opener vs RamsALAMEDA – Raiders backup quarter back AJ McCarron doesn’t really want to play in Monday night’s game.
He would, but would rather not.
Playing a game roughly a week after he was acquired from Buffalo for a fifth-round pick would not be, shall we say, ideal.
Derek Carr is set to play every snap against the Rams and, if all goes to plan, McCarron will never see game action. Carr has missed action in each of the last two seasons, so McCarron will have to be on red alert. In time, he’ll have zero problem taking over in a pinch.
If that came in Week 1, McCarron would have to grind it out.
