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 Randy Bullock 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 Womens Alex Erickson Jersey ,” he said. “Because they are disguising coverage not just to fool the quarterback, they are disguising coverage to fool the wideout. Boom, 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 Womens Jessie Bates III Jersey , 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.” The Bengals have lost four straight games and their attendance numbers are lower than any year since 2011 as the team limps toward the finish line of a third straight year without a playoff appearance.None of that adds up to a strong case for Marvin Lewis holding onto his job as the team’s head coach and Lewis said Monday that he hasn’t received any assurance that he’ll remain the coach through the final four games of the season.鈥淣o, and I wouldn鈥檛 expect any or ask for any,鈥?Lewis said, via Cincinnati.com. 鈥淭he least of my worries.鈥滸iven how many times Lewis has avoided the axe since 2003 Clark Harris Jersey , there’s little reason to think that the Bengals are going to make an in-season coaching change. Lewis’ run looked closer to ending than ever before after last season, however, and the change could finally come once this year is officially in the books.
