Derek Carr Thrilled To Be Pushed By Jon Gruden

May 30, 2018 9:21 AM

Derek Carr is happy with Jon Gruden's aggressive approach as the new coach of the Oakland Raiders.

The quarterback says the two men are "eerily similar"

Carr added that Gruden makes things "uncomfortable" for players, adding that "it's going to be nice" once games start because practices can be so uncomfortable.

"I meet with him every morning," Carr said. "He'll say something to me at 5:30 and won't bring it up the rest of the day. Then he'll throw it at me in practice, making sure I'm still on top of the little thing he gave me in the morning. He just continues to push me and get everything out of me and it's been really cool."

Raiders Acquire Christian Hackenberg From Jets

May 22, 2018 5:35 PM

The New York Jets have traded Christian Hackenberg to the Oakland Raiders for a conditional draft pick.

The move came hours after Hackenberg made critical comments about the coaching staff to reporters. He said the past two seasons were "frustrating" because he didn't "get any information from anybody on how to fix that and how to address" mechanical flaws.

Hackeberg was a second round pick in 2016 out of Penn State. The Jets have since traded up to select Sam Darnold with the third overall pick.

Hackenberg served as the fourth-string quarterback in 2016 and the third-stringer last season.
