Derek Carr gave Dennis Allen a shoutout after Week 10 win
The first person Derek Carr gave a shoutout to after defeating the Atlanta Falcons was former New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen, who had been relieved of his duties prior to the game.
It was definitely a comment that caught most off guard and likely irritated some, but it's important to realize that Allen was his guy, just as he was Allen's. To a degree, the loyalty is almost commendable and is certainly respectable.
Still, Dennis Allen exited the building on a seven game losing streak, and Darren Rizzi had just won his first game. Many didn't want to hear "shoutout to DA because he helped us build this. Shoutout to DA because he helped pave the way for us."
Carr made it clear he loves Allen, but he's happy for Rizzi. It wasn't a complete Allen love affair, just statement towards the beginning. There are some fans who didn't want to hear it at all. It did feel a bit forced because no one asked about Allen. Carr's loyalty is unwavering, however.
