Mon, 21 May 2012 06:29:30 -0700 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said he believes WR Denarius Moore will only get better in his second pro season; however, in order to do so, Palmer feels Moore must be more than just a deep receiving threat. "He's so explosive and can do so many things down the field, but for him to take that next step he needs to get more balls that aren't deep balls or big posts down the field for touchdowns," Palmer said. "He needs to catch slants and curls and digs and things like that. And the way things are lined up he's the guy. He's our 'X' receiver and I'm excited for him. I know he's excited about this year and he's got a lot to prove."
Wed, 16 May 2012 08:13:59 -0700 Free-agent WR Terrell Owens (Bengals) took part in offseason workouts with Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer, WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, TE David Ausberry and WR Eddie McGee in Southern California. Palmer said Owens' presence was good for the young receivers. "It was great for them," Palmer said of his young teammates. "It was our fourth or fifth day in a row of throwing and they were tired and sore and for them to see another guy, that's not on a team, that's grinding … I think it was a little bit of an eye-opener for them." Palmer added he has no issues with Owens, despite rumors of such from their one season together with the Cincinnati Bengals. However, Palmer is not sure the team needs a veteran presence in the receiving corps.
Wed, 16 May 2012 06:16:03 -0700 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said he's adjusting well to new offensive coordinator Greg Knapp's scheme, which requires him to roll out and throw on the run more than he has since early in his career and in college. "I've done a ton of it in my career early on and in college, did a ton of different nakeds and keepers and boots and stuff like that," Palmer said. "It really suits me well. It suits our personnel well with some of the guys we have on the outside."
Mon, 14 May 2012 09:09:42 -0700 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said he is in a better place after being traded from the Cincinnati Bengals, even though the Bengals made the playoffs last season. "It was time to move on and it was time for them to move on and they're in a better place and I'm definitely in a better place," Palmer said. Palmer's relationship with the Bengals ran its course. "I had put in, going on nine years, and gave everything I had and I don't look back and regret anything. But it was time to move on," Palmer said. "They had a young team that was an up-and-coming team. It was time for me to move on. I think in the years to come both organizations will look back and say this thing was the best thing to happen."
Tue, 01 May 2012 15:39:44 -0700 The Oakland Raiders plan to sign free-agent QB Matt Leinart (Texans), according to a league source. Leinart, not QB Terrelle Pryor, is expected to be the backup to QB Carson Palmer. Offensive coordinator Greg Knapp was Leinart's quarterbacks coach with the Houston Texans.
Mon, 09 Apr 2012 07:21:47 -0700 Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said he does not regret the prior regime trading first- and second-round picks to the Cincinnati Bengals for QB Carson Palmer. McKenzie believes the team can win with Palmer. "You can beat that doggone story 'til it's worn out," said McKenzie. "But I know this: We've got a quarterback we think can win the division and take us to the playoffs. Losing a one and a two doesn't bother me one bit."
Fri, 06 Apr 2012 11:25:26 -0700 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said he likes what he has seen with the offensive playbook so far this offseason. "I think it's really going to fit the personnel we have. The style of play with the offensive line and the zone running scheme, and the speed we have in the backfield, it's built for making a read, making one cut, and getting vertical and putting pressure on the defense with our speed and our running backs just heading north when they find the hole in that zone," Palmer said.
Sat, 31 Mar 2012 18:17:45 -0700 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said Saturday, March 31, that he likes the receiver corps his team has, and he said WR Denarius Moore is going to be a star.
Sat, 31 Mar 2012 05:27:33 -0700 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer has been working hard on his footwork this offseason, which will be crucial under the team's new offensive scheme. The Raiders will be using the West Coast offense in 2012.
