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.

McKenzie believes the team can win with Palmer. "You can beat that doggone story 'til it's worn out," said McKenzie.

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.

Thu, 01 Mar 2012 08:04:30 -0800 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said he feels the team is close to contending for a Super Bowl. "As far as being close to a playoff team, it's more than that," Palmer said. "We're close to a championship team. There's a lot of work that needs to be put in and a lot of hurdles that we need to get over, but we need to be heading into this season thinking more than just playoffs."
Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:42:29 -0800 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said he has begun to ask teammates and players around the league about offensive coordinator Greg Knapp in order to get an understanding of his scheme. "I've talked to a handful of guys that are still with the Raiders who played for him when he was with the Raiders a couple years back," Palmer said. "I've asked around plenty, and I've gotten my hands on some 2010 film, some older Texans film, where they were kind of doing some of the same stuff with the long playaction stuff and what excites me about it is it sounds like it's a lot of play action, a lot of boots, and throwing the ball down the field, and using, it sounds like we're going to use that speed we have on the outside and try to throw the ball over people's heads."
Thu, 01 Mar 2012 05:25:41 -0800 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said he feels a certain amount of pressure to perform after the team gave up so much to acquire him via trade. "Oh, absolutely. Absolutely, without a doubt," Palmer said. "Playing the position of quarterback, there's always pressure, and there's always outside pressures, but with myself, I've always put more inside pressure, more internal pressure that I put on myself is bigger than anything I heard or felt from the outside. With the trade and with all that's gone on throughout my career, I feel a tremendous amount of pressure and I love it."

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 10:44:54 -0800 Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Knapp said he has spoken with QB Carson Palmer roughly six times since joining the organization and believes the two will have a good working relationship.

Sat, 25 Feb 2012 07:07:34 -0800 Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said Friday, Feb. 24, he is confident QB Carson Palmer was athletic enough to fit in offensive coordinator Greg Knapp's system, which often requires the quarterback to move out of the pocket. "We're not going to force-feed something if it doesn't fit what a guy does really well," Allen said. " ... But I do think when you look at Carson Palmer, that he does have the same type of athleticism. He's as athletic as Matt Schaub, who they had in Houston, to really be able to run that same package."
Thu, 16 Feb 2012 06:34:54 -0800 Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski, P Shane Lechler, DL Richard Seymour, OT Jared Veldheer and OG Stefen Wisniewski are the only players who could be described as safe on the team's roster. QB Carson Palmer is also expected to return in 2012.

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:07:50 -0800 Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie said Tuesday, Jan. 10, that he understood the deal for QB Carson Palmer.

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 06:09:33 -0800 Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson said QB Carson Palmer will benefit from having an entire offseason of work with teammates. Jackson feels there should not be any concerns over Palmer's prior arm issues moving forward. "I think, obviously, he has some strong characteristics throwing the ball. I mean, he's proven that. I think he's disproved all the issues with his arm. I don't think anybody can bring those subjects up anymore," Jackson said. "I think that Carson needs a strong offseason, with his teammates, with the players, training camp. And then let's see what he can be then."

Fri, 30 Dec 2011 06:41:42 -0800 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said he has told players that they must keep things simple heading into a must-win situation in Week 17. Palmer said the team has to treat this week as just another game. "I don't think you make too big of a deal of it," Palmer said. "It's another game. All games are important, all games we need to win. Especially with young guys who don't have a lot of experience, you don't want to freak anyone out or make people think you need to play differently or make a spectacular play or do anything out of the ordinary."
Wed, 28 Dec 2011 17:29:27 -0800 Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson said Wednesday, Dec. 28, that he engineered a trade in October for QB Carson Palmer for games such as Week 17 against the San Diego Chargers. "He has to (pull off a win)," Jackson said. "There's no other alternative. This is a great opportunity to do it here at home. That's why we made the trade, is to have this opportunity. If not, why do it? It's about winning. And so we've got a chance to win a huge football game this Sunday."
Tue, 27 Dec 2011 07:00:47 -0800 Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson said he is still working on getting across to QB Carson Palmer the importance of throwing away the ball or even taking a sack when a play breaks down and there isn't an attractive alternative. "It goes back to a point, sometimes you don't even have to throw it away," Jackson said. "I told him, and he understands, and he will, sometimes you just take the sack. And I'm OK with it. Our opportunity to win a championship is tied to our ability to take care of the ball and to get turnovers. That's what we have to do."

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:11:46 -0800 Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson indicated Monday, Dec. 19, that he has not considered using QB Terrelle Pryor in the Wildcat formation. "Because at this time (QB Carson Palmer) probably needs as much time as he can get with his teammates," Jackson said.

Tue, 13 Dec 2011 09:25:08 -0800 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer admitted that he needs to be more patient and take what opposing defenses give him. "I just need to be more patient, take what they give me and try not to score 14 points on one drive," Palmer said after Week 14. "Take it one play at a time, take the shot if it's there, and if not, live for the next down, and I didn't do that."
Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:28:58 -0800 Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson said he wants QB Carson Palmer to make better decisions with the football following his four-interception performance in Week 14. "What I always tell him is, 'Just get me to the next down with you. I'll give you a better call the next play," Jackson said. "Regardless of what happens, just get me to the next down and then we'll make something good happen.' And last night that point was driven home because he could see that he didn't give us an opportunity to attain our goals."
Mon, 12 Dec 2011 06:49:09 -0800 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer took the blame for the team's Week 14 loss. Palmer threw four interceptions in the game.

Thu, 08 Dec 2011 09:00:59 -0800 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said Wednesday, Dec. 7, the team's offense must be sharp and put points on the board in their Week 14 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. Palmer realizes a ball-control offense will not get the job done as the Packers' offense is simply too explosive. "They are going to score points," Palmer said. "It's not going to be a game to be (just) smart with the ball and hope the defense holds them. (That's) not the type of game it is. You need to play efficient for four quarters."
Thu, 08 Dec 2011 08:05:21 -0800 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer acknowledged missing all of training camp and the first six games of the season finally caught up with him in Week 13. However, he said he pushed through the fatigue last week and is raring to go the rest of the way. "You go through training camp and you feel great and then you kind of hit a little bit of a wall and you just got to go through that wall," Palmer said. "Once you get through that, your body kind of gets used to wear and tear and the movement, and the pounding, and all of that. Fortunately, I've got that out of the way, got through that last week, and feel great this week."
Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:53:46 -0800 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer went 20-for-41 for 273 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the Miami Dolphins in Week 13.
Fri, 02 Dec 2011 07:49:28 -0800 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer calls head coach Hue Jackson a player's coach and said the team really respects Jackson. "He may not be young in years, but he's young the way he acts," Palmer said. "He's a player's coach. Guys understand him; he can relate to players ... He understands the things we go through and he can be lenient on some things but also very, very stern on some things and hard on some things and I think players really respect that."
Fri, 02 Dec 2011 07:36:40 -0800 Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said his return to the football field has been a struggle at times despite being 3-1 as a starter with his new team. "It definitely hasn't been easy," Palmer said. "It's been a huge challenge, probably the biggest challenge of my career, but it's been exciting. It's fun just to have a fresh start and really try to get up to speed as quickly as possible ... We're looking to try to get to the playoffs, but we're taking it one game at a time."
Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:33:37 -0800 Oakland Raiders QB Jason Campbell (collarbone) has resumed throwing after undergoing surgery to fix a broken collarbone. He can't throw very hard at this point, but he is on scheduled to return in early December. It's likely that Campbell will back up QB Carson Palmer when he returns to full health.

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 06:24:16 -0800 Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson said Wednesday, Nov. 16, that QB Carson Palmer's leadership abilities alone was worth the price the team paid to acquire him. "I know everybody within this organization has been criticized about the move, about making that decision to bring him here," Jackson said. "That's fine. Everybody has their opinion, and I get that. At the end of the day, all those characteristics that you guys have seen him exhibit is why he's here. That's what you go out and get that guy because of (his leadership)."
