For a majority of Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins, Derek Carr was sharp pushing the ball downfield and finding open receivers. Even his first interception may have resulted in a long completion had receiver Amari Cooper not stopped running his route. Though it can be argued Carr could have thrown the pass sooner as well.
Two weeks ago Gruden expressed that Carr wasn’t aggressive enough against the Rams after he missed an open Amari Cooper downfield multiple times.
“You look at the film, we had him wide open deep,” Gruden said after the season opener.
