Derek Carr now 'fluent' in Jon Gruden's offense

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- On more than a few occasions earlier this season, it appeared as though Derek Carr and Jon Gruden were just unable to understand one another when it came to the Oakland Raiders' offense, barking at each other on a sideline in Arizona.

Trying to get on the same page? They were, as one Raiders player said, trying to speak the same language.

And now, with two games remaining in their first season together as quarterback and quarterback whisperer in Gruden’s offense?

“He is fully fluent, yes, he is,” Gruden said of Carr with an impish grin this week.
