NFL Note - Oakland Raiders Carr, Derek

Nov 23, 2017 - 10:05 AM QB Derek Carr wanted to put to rest the idea that he had a strained relationship with former offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave.

The move to Todd Downing this season was made in part because of his connection as quarterbacks coach with Carr and that he was thought of as the man to take Carr to the next level. "I went to two Pro Bowls with coach Musgrave," Carr said. "He's one of the smartest people I've ever been around. Every time I see him I give him a big hug. When we played at Denver, I went straight to him, gave him a hug, asked him how he was doing, asked him how his boys were doing. That's definitely the farthest thing from the truth that me and coach Musgrave didn't like each other."
