Jon Gruden rejoined the Raiders with his head, notebooks and tape player chock full of ideas on how to build a better NFL team. He has studied myriad offenses, defenses and every player with pro potential to the point of exhaustion. Nine years after his last NFL go-round, Gruden is eager to see how what
