ARGOMENTO: and he has experience at a lot of different spots

PHOENIX (AP) — The Latest on the NFL owners meetings Tuesday (all times EDT):6:45 p.m.There’s nothing on the football field Jon Gruden likes more than a big-time playmaker.His Raiders’ trade with Pittsburgh brought to Oakland one of the game’s most dangerous scoring threats in wideout Antonio Brown.“You have to know where he is Ryan Glasgow Jersey ,” Gruden began. “He can help your running game. Put a safety over the top to double that guy, that helps you run the ball, I tell you. It helps the other guy on the other side. That’s why getting Tyrell Williams was huge. Somebody that can take advantage of some one-on-one looks.“It’s also nice to have a receiver who couldn’t care less what the coverage is. I remember Jerry Rice one year, he was so good. I used to see Jerry break the huddle and three (defensive) guys look for him: ‘There he is. Don’t let him catch the ball.’ Then at the end, Jerry had eight catches for 140 yards. He did it every week.“It is great to have a guy who can win. We have to do our part. It is a great responsibility for us to help Antonio Brown be one of the great Raiders of all time.”Gruden took a moment to catch his breath, then spoke about Brown’s skills at freelancing when a play breaks down. He believes that will provide a huge help to quarterback Derek Carr.“It’s huge. That’s where the great ones … that’s the true measuring stick of what makes a receiver great,” he said. “Because they are disguising coverage not just to fool the quarterback, they are disguising coverage to fool the wideout. Boom Jordan Evans Jersey , they rotate to him. What are you going to do?“Some guys don’t see it and react as quick as others. The great ones, they see it and they can do it at full speed. It’s awesome. When you watch Antonio play, a lot of his production was on scramble plays.“Hopefully we can get Derek to create more on his own, maybe a little better protection, maybe he can buy a little more time and let Antonio go over there, then go over there, then go over there and make a play or two.” Zac Taylor and his offensive coaching staff have their choice of a number of options to replace the now-retired Clint Boling. Will the veteran get the starting gig, or will young Hardy Nickerson Jersey , unproven guy get a shot?"

One of which was his seemingly-undying preference to play lesser-talented veterans over promising youngsters. In a lot of ways, new coach Zac Taylor is both very similar to and the diametric opposite of Lewis. He enters the job on a similar career arc to that of Lewis in 2003, but the hope is that his youthful and innovative approach will reap more benefits than what Lewis was able to get out of the team over the past three seasons. One of the proverbial forks in the road to differentiate himself from his predecessor occurred on Monday. It came in the form of Clint Boling’s retirement, and Taylor’s handling of the situation will start cementing his Bengals legacy. What we mean by that Joe Mixon Jersey , of course, is in whom he entrusts with the starting position. Taylor has his pick of a number of players with varying backgrounds to fill the left guard spot, but who will he go with as the season opens?There are a number of factors to consider and the hope is that the best man will won the job. But, seeing as how that may not have been the case with Lewis and “open competitions”, call us a bit jaded when it comes to these kind of things. The team made a number of moves to bring in guards this offseason, with one being free agent, John Jerry. He has experience playing under Jim Turner from their days in Miami, and he would probably be Lewis’ choice Clark Harris Jersey , given his “veteran steadiness”. Christian Westerman finally got a shot to play and did so at a high level last year, but his sample size is small. Not only that, but there have long been rumors about his inability to fully grasp a playbook. Trey Hopkins was one of their own internal free agency signings and he has experience at a lot of different spots on the line. However, some could argue that where he has played his best is at center. There’s also the enigmatic rookie, Michael Jordan. Cincinnati seems to like him a lot, as they made one of those rare moves up to get him. While he boats athleticism, talent and versatility, he’s also a guy who needs development. So Josh Malone Jersey , what route will Taylor go at left guard? Jerry might be the best player at the spot today in July, but guys like Westerman and Jordan could reach higher peaks with increased snaps. Regardless, the decision Taylor makes could show us just how far away the team is from some of Lewis’ old ways.
