Palmer feeling comfortable in first full season
By Steve Corkran
Wednesday, August 8th, 2012 at 8:26 am in Oakland Raiders.
Quarterback Carson Palmer is in his first full season with the Raiders. He arrived midseason last year and without benefit of an offseason or training camp, yet he stepped in for the injured Jason Campbell and showed that he still has what it takes to be a top-tier quarterback.
Palmer has looked sharp in camp so far. He looks at ease with offensive coordinator Greg Knapp’s West Coast offense, rolling out without difficulty, making every throw and displaying the kind of leadership that coach Dennis Allen wants from his quarterback.
He spoke with the media after practice Tuesday. Here’s the transcript:
Q: Did you throw the ball to Goodson on the play he got hurt–did you see what happened?
PALMER: I didn’t see it. I threw it to him and then he had cut up field and I turned around was walking back towards the huddle. I heard the hit and turned around and saw him on the ground.
Q: How scary is it to see that?
PALMER: It’s scary when it happens to anybody. When you hear of a neck or a back injury or a head injury it scares you. Just so disappointed for Mike, just because he’d been doing so good and had look so explosive and so fast. Everybody was getting excited about what he could do for our team. We’re all praying and hoping it isn’t serious.
Q: How hard is it to keep practicing after something like that?
PALMER: It’s not easy. But that’s the game. You don’t want to say it, but that’s part of the deal. Guys go down and sometimes they go off on stretchers, sometimes they go off on the back of a little golf cart, sometimes they go off on their own. But it’s just part of the game. Unfortunately you practice it because you have to do it in games. You have to get off the field in the middle of the game.
Q: How is it going for you so far?
PALMER: It’s been a grind. Tomorrow’s the seventh day in a row full padded practice. With double-days every other day. Lots of meetings, lots of installs. But a great opportunity, especially for young guys and really for everybody just because everything is so new. A lot of stuff, it is our second time installing it since we stalled it in the OTAs and in minicamp. But just a great opportunity to learn and we’re getting every opportunity to do it. Long meetings. Long hours. Long hours on the field. But that’s why we’re here, that’s what we’re here for. After this first preseason game, going into the second game, we’re going to have a really good dose of the playbook under our belts and will have had lots of reps because of all the opportunities we’re getting practicing.
Q: You knew about all the boots and movement in this West Coast offense. But now that you’re out here doing them at almost full speed, is it feeling natural for you?
PALMER: It’s really not a whole lot different or more than I’ve done in the past. It gets talked about a lot and I’m not sure exactly why–it’s just different launch points, like coach Knapp said. I’m very comfortable doing it and enjoying everything we’re installing in the offense. The boots, the nakeds, the half-rolls… there’s so many different launch points you throw the ball from in this offense. The more opportunities I get a chance to do it, I’m liking it more and more.
Q: The timing with the WRs seems to be even more important because you’re both on the move. Does that make the relationship with the WRs even more important?
PALMER: I don’t think it does. But you’re right, when you’re on the move and you’re running towards the sideline, the receiver can only run so far before he goes out of bounds. But the relationship with the quarterback and the receiver, whether you’re on the move or in the pocket, is always something that needs to be pinpoint accurate and something that needs to be very rhythmic and have great timing. But definitely when you’re on the run you do run out of field at some point. But we’re coming along slowly and I think we’re at a really good spot right now. We just need to keep growing. We need to get Denarius Moore–back. And get Taiwan Jones back and get those guys going with the offense.
Q: How’s your relationship with Greg Knapp and John DeFilippo?
PALMER: Awesome. Awesome. Great coaches but great people. Coach Knapp’s been very successful in this league at a bunch of different places. Just honored to have an opportunity to play for him and learn from him. And coach Flip the same way–he’s been with coach Knapp a couple different times, coached college, NFL… New York Giants, New York Jets, he’s been around. A great teacher and he really understands coach Knapp’s system. And they work really well together, too. Which is really beneficial for us quarterbacks.
Q: It’s been reported that Pete Carroll touched based with you about Terrell Owens and that you recommended him. Could you expound on that conversation?
PALMER: Coach had reached out to me a couple times. Just knowing Coach’s style and the way he goes about teaching and leading his team, just thought that T.O. would be a great fit. I had the opportunity to play with T.O. and really enjoyed playing with him. It was a great relationship and we continued to work out afterwards. Didn’t have anything negative to say about T.O. It was a great relationship when I was there. And I just let Coach know that I thought he would fit in really well with his style and I think they’ll have a lot of success together.
Q: Have you heard from T.O. recently?
PALMER: Yeah, just traded text-messages with him the other day. Or maybe today. I think he signed today, I think he told me. I haven’t been following the news. Just texting him back and forth, congrats and go get ‘em. I think he’ll be successful there.
Q: Did he want to come here?
PALMER: He was looking for a job anywhere. I know he’s worked extremely hard to come back from the injuries he’s had. And he was looking for a spot anywhere he could go.
Q: Has DeMarcus Van Dyke made an impression on you?
PALMER: He has. He’s looked really good. He’s made a lot of really good plays. Because he can turn and run and he can also jump on balls and break. He’s so athletic and so fast, once he does have to open up and turn and run he’s really looked good in camp and just got to keep grinding. We’re going to keep trying to pick on him and keep working against him. But he’s looked really good so far.
Q: Fair to say that you have the best chemistry with Denarius Moore and now that he’s out you’ve got to develop that with somebody else?
PALMER: No question. When he was healthy–we lost him for a couple games last year–but when he was healthy, he and I had really figured out a rhythm and timing, and figured each other out. We’ve got to get back–obviously want to be smart with him because hamstrings are something that can really linger and affect you for the long haul. Our training staff’s great. They’re not rushing anything. They’re not getting too excited to get him back out there, being very patient, and that’s what you have to do with a guy in his spot.
Q: You had the nice pass to Jacoby Ford. Where are you with Jacoby right now?
PALMER: Jacoby and I are really coming together. It’s hard when we have goal-line days and we’ve done some short-yardage the last couple practices. But when we were doing third downs and putting in the Red Zone a couple days, we were really clicking and firing on all cylinders. Just got to keep grinding, keep going… we’re not where we want to be yet but we’re coming along.
Q: How would you assess your play in camp this week?
A: “Personally, for me, I always want to complete every single ball I throw. In practice, it’s not unrealistic. I missed a ball over Brandon Myers’ head that I can think of right now. I always want to get better, but we are where we need to be at this point in camp. We’re only a week in. We got a game in another four or five days, but I feel really good in the offense, I feel confident and comfortable calling the plays, comfortable redirecting the protections, getting in and out of plays. I still got a lot of work to do. It’s still early in camp.”
Q: Do you grade yourself on a daily basis or overall?
A: “I look at it every day. If you make a mistake on one play, because we’re not just doing one install and then moving on. We’re installing a set of plays and working on it for a couple of days so that we get four, five, six reps of them. I like to make sure that I have a play down. You’ll make a mistake on a read, a ball placement on a certain route, and then if you have an opportunity to run it again later that day or the next day, you want to make sure that you don’t make the same mistakes and you improve from there. So, it’s a play-by-play, day-by-day thing for me.”

As far a natural talent, we’ve never had someone like Carson Palmer, Jeff George was awesome throwing the ball but lacked everything else from mobility to the most important stuff, will, leadership and command.
Gannon was a fiery leader but a self-made player with on-field limitations, not close to Palmer’s talent level, still a great one Gannon was for us, loved and respected the heck out of the guy.

Carson should have one heck of a season this year, we need playoffs baby!

August 8th, 2012 at 8:43 am
I remember Lonyae Miller back in Dallas last year, trainig camp star that flunked in pre-season games and ended up getting cut.
Maybe it’s the opposite this year, we’ve rarely heard anything about him, maybe the system fits him and he shines in pre-season (MNF specifically may be his best shot) because he appears to be buried as the 4th RB now.
August 8th, 2012 at 8:45 am
Uh oh, wheres triangle man? I need thec reposting the trifecta of tweets..
August 8th, 2012 at 8:47 am
This is kinda like Dmac and groves collision last yr. Goodson will be alright hopefully and wheeler needs to save the good hits for Monday!!!
August 8th, 2012 at 8:47 am
15. Yeah he’s playing just to get noticed.. Im a fresno st fan, and I like him. But I doubt he can move up on our depth chart..
August 8th, 2012 at 8:48 am
We need to get Denarius Moore–back. And get Taiwan Jones back and get those guys going with the offense.

couldn’t agree more!
less reps for Ford & Goodson

Goody will have to go thru concussion protocalls b4 he can practice right?
August 8th, 2012 at 8:54 am
@ 20, I would imagine so, unless he didn’t display signs and symptoms during intial assessments, along with negative CT/MRI
August 8th, 2012 at 8:56 am
We still have 4 more weeks of future injuries coming our way.

DMAC = 1 series……….Miller / Jackson = the rest of the game.
Jones / Goodson = Sweat Pants and ball caps.
August 8th, 2012 at 9:02 am
I’m lookin for Taiwan to play, since DA listed him on the chart for the game…

What happened to The Nation, we got some wimpy fans. Before I explain what I mean, big ups to Cork for putting some dudes in check on Twitter. Some dudes were calling for Benson right after injury, SMH. Dam show some class. But another thing pissed me off and the reason I say some fans are lame. Some people were calling for wheeler to be released, how stupid is that.
I must admit, after I heard about the hit, I was like “Dam wheeler, you don’t hit your own people like that ” but never did it cross my mind that’s the dude needed to be released or punished. Wheeler said he tried to pull off, I’m pretty sure he feels bad. in case you forgot ladies, this is a physical sport. Things happen. Don’t hang wheeler out because of it.

Let’s remember how fast and violent the NFL game speed is before we hang Phillip Wheeler. If the collision was timed a split second earlier at a different angle, it would go down as “jacked up” moment and a good clean hit. I’m sure Wheeler never meant to dish it to Goodson like that. Injuries are a part of this game and if we can’t accept that, it’s time to find a new sport to watch. Goodson knows the risk, so does McFadden and everyone else. No way to prevent these types of accidents with the level of physicality and speed that is called for by the coaching staff.

August 8th, 2012 at 10:13 am
Gee, we all hope that Goodson is better cuz we really need the RB depth. Is there an official medical report on him with expected timetable for return?
I know it sounds meanspirited and crass to mention signing a free agent, but if we do go after someone, I’ll be much happier considering Ryan Grant than Cedric Benson. Best case is Goodson had a stinger and is held out a week and there is no “neck issue”. But if that’s not the case, we need to be shopping for a replacement right now.

As far a natural talent, we’ve never had someone like Carson Palmer, Jeff George was awesome throwing the ball but lacked everything else from mobility to the most important stuff, will, leadership and command.
Gannon was a fiery leader but a self-made player with on-field limitations, not close to Palmer’s talent level, still a great one Gannon was for us, loved and respected the heck out of the guy.

171. I disagree, mainly because it isn’t a new defensive scheme so much as a bunch of different defensive schemes. We don’t yet know what “multiple” means, but when mad scientist Tarver unleashes it, it’ll have plenty of teams scratching their heads looking for relevant game film to study. But there won’t be any and the learning curve (for them) will be too little too late.

177. It goes without saying that nobody wants anyone but Carson handling our regular season snaps. And I am not projecting any “hate” on the Nation’s favored son, Terrelle Pryor. But the backup QB spot is important to have nailed down, and right now Leinart looks like a good insurance policy and TP looks like a scholarship project. Give them both time and plenty of reps and let it all sort itself out.
I don’t want Leinart taking regular season snaps, but at this point, I like even less the prospect of TP taking regular season snaps. That’s all I’m saying.

Bottom tier WRs
August 8th, 2012 at 11:08 am
From Bucky Brooks @NFL.com:
Newcomers:
Matt Leinart.
One of the biggest surprises coming out of Raiders’ camp has been Leinart’s impressive play. His accuracy and ball placement have been superb, and he’s demonstrated mastery of the offense, finding the second and third options in the route progression. Leinart’s physical limitations likely keep him from being a long-term answer at quarterback, but his stellar play in camp suggests he could handle a two- or three-game stint as a fill-in for Palmer.

From Bucky Brooks @NFL.com:
Newcomers:
Matt Leinart.
One of the biggest surprises coming out of Raiders’ camp has been Leinart’s impressive play. His accuracy and ball placement have been superb, and he’s demonstrated mastery of the offense, finding the second and third options in the route progression. Leinart’s physical limitations likely keep him from being a long-term answer at quarterback, but his stellar play in camp suggests he could handle a two- or three-game stint as a fill-in for Palmer.

Newcomers:
Juron Criner.
The sixth-round draft pick has continued to build on the momentum created by his sensational play during offseason workouts. The rookie, who has routinely come down with acrobatic catches in practice, looks like he could be a No. 1 receiver in the near future. The Raiders currently lack a go-to guy on the outside, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Criner crack the starting lineup at some point this season.

August 8th, 2012 at 11:15 am
Does Pryor have any “physical limitations” ??
Nice segway…according to Bucky Brooks @NFL.com
analysis:
Terrelle Pryor still has quite a ways to go before he can contribute in the NFL as a quarterback, but he has impressed Raiders officials with his commitment and work ethic. He has put in long hours attempting to hone his skills as a passer. Pryor’s accuracy and ball placement are still inconsistent, but he occasionally displays potential. His combination of size and athleticism will encourage the Raiders to be patient with his development.
August 8th, 2012 at 11:15 am
If you call being able to hit your target less than 50% of the time a physical limitation then yes he does.
August 8th, 2012 at 11:15 am

Regarding the defense:
The defense is talented, but lacks an elite pass-rusher and shutdown corner. The Raiders have several intriguing pieces on the defensive side of the ball (defensive ends Richard Seymour and Tommie Kelly; linebacker Rolando McClain), but they have zero blue-chip pass-rushers or cornerbacks.
Clever scheming can allow a team to excel without quality personnel at those positions. But if they want to compete with the AFC’s best, the Raiders need quality performances from defensive end Matt Shaughnessy and defensive backs Shawntae Spencer and Ron Bartell.
Shaughnessy, in particular, must emerge as a credible pass-rusher who can provide 10-plus sacks off the edge. He’s shown glimpses of being a legitimate sack artist (notching 12.0 sacks in three seasons), but Shaughnessy needs to be more consistent on a weekly basis.

With all the glowing reports of Carson Palmer this offseason, this one sounds fairly critical of Carson, again by Mr. Brooks:
********
Carson Palmer is still trying to find his groove in Greg Knapp’s offense. The Raiders are hoping their veteran quarterback can regain his Pro Bowl form under new offensive coordinator Knapp. Part of that optimism is fueled by the implementation of a West Coast system that involves more quick, rhythm throws from the pocket. Palmer played in a variation of this scheme during his time at USC, but he is still struggling to master various parts of the offense in Oakland.
He has been inefficient with some of the movement-based passing concepts in the playbook. Some difficulty was to be expected, given his limited athleticism, but Palmer’s struggles with bootlegs could be a significant problem, given their importance to the running game. If he is not able to complete a high percentage of passes on the move, opponents will not respect the bootleg component of the Raiders’ offense, making it tougher to run against loaded fronts.
Palmer has also had problems with his anticipation on timing routes. He repeatedly delivered the ball late to receivers coming out of their breaks, leading to a couple of blow-ups by defensive backs. If the Raiders are finally going to end their playoff drought in 2012, Palmer must quickly master the critical elements of Knapp’s offense over the final four weeks of the preseason.

Another glowing report on the rejuvenated Rolando McClain:
******
McClain looks primed for a big year. He is fit, trim and playing with more urgency at camp. Last season, McClain struggled in all aspects of the game, and poor conditioning affected his ability to hold up in coverage. This year, however, he has displayed better movement skills in drills, improving enough that he could remain on the field in nickel situations.

Some McFadden kool-aid by Bucky Brooks:
_______
Darren McFadden is the key to the offense. After showing flashes of brilliance as a primary playmaker for the Raiders during his first four seasons, the running back is firmly entrenched as the No. 1 option in the offensive game plan. He is expected to receive 25 or more touches per week on a variety of runs and receptions from multiple formations and alignments. I was impressed by McFadden’s speed, explosiveness and athleticism in practice. He is a natural playmaker with the ball in his hands, and there is nothing that he can’t do on the field. To take advantage of his versatility, the Raiders are deploying McFadden at various spots in multiple formations, including outside as a quasi-wide receiver. This will let the Raiders capitalize on his speed and route-running skills in space against overmatched linebackers, creating the opportunity for big passing gains. In the running game, the Raiders are employing a zone-based scheme that will take advantage of McFadden’s talents as a one-cut runner. He is already considered one of the NFL’s most explosive backs, having recorded 29 runs of 20-plus yards on only 336 attempts over the past two seasons. If he can stay healthy, McFadden could produce fireworks with the Raiders’ offense.

Glad to hear this news. About 16 years ago I had a neck scare after a b ball hoop accident. It was a scary 4 hours before I was cleared.
————–
Someone caught your legs while you were mid-flight to the hoop for a dunk, huh?
+++++++++
Actually, it was late at night and I couldn’t sleep so I went out to shoot some hoops and I was trying to throw one down (I could only ever dunk a volley ball). I had grabbed the rim and came down, picked up the ball, turned around and all of the sudden night turned to day, and something was attacking me….well, what happened was that the cement-filled pole had rusted at the bottom and the entire pole and backboard came right down on the back of my head….when it hit me there was a flash of light and the rim and net were over my head, so I thought something had jumped on me (we have mountain lions around here).
Well, once I realized what had happened I threw it off my head and back, went inside and noticed my scalp was bleeding pretty badly, so I went to the ER for stitches, and when I explained what happened, the Doc wanted to take some x-rays.
So I was laying there on the x-ray table and all of the sudden three or four people were all around me and they started to tape my head and chest down to the table and they told me they believed I had a fracture of the C7 vertebrae.
So, eventually the ambulance showed up and they shifted me to a back board, loaded me up and transported me to the hospital in Rapid City, about 60 miles from where I live. They had better equipment and they were able to see that my neck was not fractured. It took them forever to make the call though.
Trust me, after laying on a back board for a few hours, you start losing feeling in your legs…..I was pretty nervous at that point lol.
The ambulance crew told me that I would probably not be paralyzed, but that I would have a halo and some other schyt. Yeah, I was pretty freaked until I got the good news!
Ended up with some staples in my head where my scalp had been ripped open and pushed forward by the hooks on the rim. I was out playing softball the next night, just relieved that nothing serious had happened.
That’s what I get for trying to dunk.

Very much so. Why people come on here on regular basis to pretend they are Raider fans is beyond me. And they go to great lengths sometimes to keep up the charade.
They get busted saying they were “never a Raider fan” or “i’m gonna go put on my niner hat” and then after realizing the blunder they made they change their moniker and/or deny it was really them saying it.

Pryor may never become an NFL starter, but to rule it at this point in time, when the kid just turned 23, works his tail off and is one of the best athletes in the NFL, regadless of position, is downright stupid.
Pryor is probably better than Tebow right now.
Not that it’s an accomplishment since Tebow has a lot of work to do as well, but I find it funny that he’ll get every chance in the world to grow into a QB while TP is already getting discarded without even getting a chance to prove himself.

With all the glowing reports of Carson Palmer this offseason, this one sounds fairly critical of Carson, again by Mr. Brooks:
********
Carson Palmer is still trying to find his groove in Greg Knapp’s offense. The Raiders are hoping their veteran quarterback can regain his Pro Bowl form under new offensive coordinator Knapp. Part of that optimism is fueled by the implementation of a West Coast system that involves more quick, rhythm throws from the pocket. Palmer played in a variation of this scheme during his time at USC, but he is still struggling to master various parts of the offense in Oakland.
He has been inefficient with some of the movement-based passing concepts in the playbook. Some difficulty was to be expected, given his limited athleticism, but Palmer’s struggles with bootlegs could be a significant problem, given their importance to the running game. If he is not able to complete a high percentage of passes on the move, opponents will not respect the bootleg component of the Raiders’ offense, making it tougher to run against loaded fronts.
Palmer has also had problems with his anticipation on timing routes. He repeatedly delivered the ball late to receivers coming out of their breaks, leading to a couple of blow-ups by defensive backs. If the Raiders are finally going to end their playoff drought in 2012, Palmer must quickly master the critical elements of Knapp’s offense over the final four weeks of the preseason.
——————————————————-
Im guessing he was at a couple of those practices when Palmer was off, Cork and the rest of the beatwriters told us the same thing during those couple of bad ones. I will listen to the Local boys, they are there every day. Im not worried about Palmer at all

Honestly, realistically…only hopes I have for Lonyae is that he can take some punishment that would have gone to running backs who are going to make the roster. If he shows something, it’ll earn him a camp invite somewhere else or a practice squad designation. For now he can be the tackling dummy we roll out in preseason games and shield our depth from injury. Cruel I know, but real.

some guys have it and some guys dont.. im not sure if you can “teach” a guy how to be an exceptional accurate passer in the NFL.. i commend TP for working hard to hone his craft, but i also believe he should try to be more flexible ie tim tebow with the jets.
August 8th, 2012 at 12:29 pm
Count me as skeptical that TP will ever be a starting QB. I don’t think he’ll ever be the starting QB for the Raiders anyway. Maybe for another team. Skeptical doesn’t mean I’m rooting against him. Just that he’s got a lot to prove and clock is ticking.
August 8th, 2012 at 12:31 pm
There was plenty of Cam Newton hate in training camp, and he went out and shut the naysayers up with his brilliant play. TP could go and do likewise, but I also doubt that he’s anything like Cam as far as football instincts.

Gotta make use of TP’s superior size, strength, speed, athletisism on Sundays. No use having that kind of physical weapon riding an excercise bike on the sidelines and holding a clipboard with a bored look on his face. If he’s stuck buried on the QB depth chart this year, what a waste of a third rounder! Imagine the impact players we could have drafted that would have produced immediately. No…we have to get some results in some form from TP this year.

What choice do we have at this point? The way guys are dropping like flies, the mission now is to just make it TO the regular season. These games will be good for some of the guys (Burris, Criner, Streat, TP) but for the most part, there’s a feeling of “Let’s just get these games over with before somebody ELSE get’s hurt.”

So you two are on record saying you think Leinart will be starting over Palmer, and not because of an injury. Interesting.
**********
Nope. Carson’s my man. Only saying I’m glad we have Leinart as his backup.
August 8th, 2012 at 12:40 pm
Guest,I could see Lonyae making the team if,and it is a huge if,if T.Jones can’t stay healthy and the team decides it can’t keep him because of it.In blocking drills a few days ago,Lonyae was putting people on the ground-something that is good to see in a RB.
August 8th, 2012 at 12:40 pm
I will bet anyone in here 2 tickets to a game of their choice that Leinart doesn’t start a game (unless Palmer is injured)
August 8th, 2012 at 12:41 pm
Nope. Carson’s my man. Only saying I’m glad we have Leinart as his backup.

I am glad we have Leinart too, because Pryor CLEARLY isn’t ready to take the field (I don’t think he ever will be)
August 8th, 2012 at 12:41 pm
380. I agree, and it’s part of the reason the league is probably going to an 18 game season soon with just 2 preseason games. It’s tough to just make it to the opener relatively healthy anymore!

No…we have to get some results in some form from TP this year.
————————————————–
not going to happen. he is stuck on himself, he believes he will be a good qb. thats a good thing for qb’s with potential to think, but not for third string qb’s that cant seem to have one consistant practice throwing to uncovered recievers. so now the clock is ticking and we will have to see how long the Reggie and DA will wait for him to develop into a backup qb. then, and only then will he have real value, as a backup.

im not sure if you can “teach” a guy how to be an exceptional accurate passer in the NFL.

Exceptional no, good enough yes, Michel Vick.

yeah it only took him ten years hahaha.

He took his team to the playoffs in year 2 completing 55% of his passes for close to 3000 yards and 8 TD’s, plus running for 700 yards.
By the way, that’s sort of what we’ll be looking at if TP becomes a starter down the road, he’ll need to use his legs as well as his arm to become a dual threat, he won’t get there by sitting back in the pocket and pin-pointing lasers into tight coverage.
August 8th, 2012 at 12:47 pm
It is early in camp.The injuries we’ve been getting are minor,thankfully.Most of the guys missing time are probably more of a precaution than anything else.I don’t see all the concern about them just yet.Now if Moore’s hammy is still bad after week 4s practice game ,well that’s another story.

Gotta make use of TP’s superior size, strength, speed, athletisism on Sundays. No use having that kind of physical weapon riding an excercise bike on the sidelines and holding a clipboard with a bored look on his face. If he’s stuck buried on the QB depth chart this year, what a waste of a third rounder! Imagine the impact players we could have drafted that would have produced immediately. No…we have to get some results in some form from TP this year.
$$$$$$$$$$$$
So drafting A Rogers in the 1ST and letting him develop for a few years was a waste of a 1st round pick?

– Ever wonder what happened to offensive coordinator Al Saunders? Well, he isn’t hard to find if you spend any time watching a Raiders practice.
He’s the one guarding the tight end on a goal line pass or the one running up to a player at the end of a play to impart some wisdom or dole out encouragement.
In other words, he’s all over the place and helping out in any way needed.
“Well, he’s helped all of us,” Allen said. “A guy with that type of experience helps all of us. He’s been a head coach in the league before. So I’ve leaned on him for advice on certain things. Obviously, he’s a great source for Greg in the passing game, especially with our offense.
“And he does a great job working with Mark Hudson with the tight ends on a day-to-day basis. I’m really pleased with Al. He’s a very important part of our coaching staff and a very important part of our organization.”
Saunders was reassigned after last season, with his new title being senior offensive assistant.

I still think it’s a fishy story to speak about an immobile tree of a quarterback and suddenly expect him to be a rollout, keeper option style QB. Carson gets typically less than 50 yards rushing per SEASON. Physically it’s just not part of his game. I don’t think he’ll ever be a viable threat with the rolling pocket, the defenses will just stay home.
I’m sorry if that pisses in the koolaid, but Knapp’s offense and Carson’s game don’t seem to match up well.

But I don’t think he has to go OUT of his way to say how much he loves the offense and call Knapp a Genious. Palmer is awefully excited about this system, and that makes me excited too.
New Management, New scheme, New Impact players, New QB……. Let’s just wait and see how the first few games look.
August 8th, 2012 at 1:06 pm
Al Saunders is a great resource and will be helpful, but this is Knapp’s ship on Offense.
Knapp’s knowledge and expertise are proven and he’s a great teacher as well, his QB’s love him.
Main issue with him is play-calling.
Play-calling is a skill, an art if you will and it requieres more than knowledge and brains, it also takes guts, timing, anticipation and a feel for the game and your players.
Hopefully Knapp is up to the challenge.

Exactly, it’s just a part of the play-action calls, fake the handoff and take a few steps toward the sidelines while somebody gets open, if nobody is, then you throw it away.
You won’t see Palmer running at all unless he’s getting chased.
Pryor on the other hand can tuck that ball and run with it, which gives you totally different look on offense.

This league is clearly a passing league now. The elite teams all have elite QB’s and invest big money and high draft picks to them. Late round and even middle round QB’s are a dime a dozen and usually end up being journeymen and backups and never pan out. Sure there are outliers like Tom Brady in the 6th round, but it’s unrealistic to think a 3rd round supplemental QB will ever be NFL starting quality. If he fell that low, enough NFL GM’s knew better to pass. Not saying it’s impossible, but highly unlikely.

You guys do realize that Knapp was not the OC and was not calling plays in Houston right? That was Kubiak’s baby, not Knapps….implementing an offense you have been around isn’t always a sure thing….ask all those Bulls and Lakers coaches who have moved on and tried to implement the triangle offense lol.
Knapp inherited Mariucci’s offense in SF, then had Vick run up his run game number in ATL….we all know what happened in Oakland with him here….given he did have a bad QB….just sayin’….he has a lot to prove.

I don’t dislike the kid, I just don’t think he is ever going to be an NFL qb.

i agree. lets just see how monday night plays out. then they will see the truth.

Bcz,
TE?!
Why not WR? lol
August 8th, 2012 at 1:17 pm
Hey Rock, if you see him, can you tell Dell to give up my spot this year in the league? He may have already, but I don’t want him holding a spot open for me.
August 8th, 2012 at 1:18 pm
I just wanna say congrats on my Raider brother from LA R8eray…..nothing like having a child brought into this world! A new Raider has joined the nation!
August 8th, 2012 at 1:18 pm
465. All due respect, but if the QB can’t consistently find his receiver downfield and become a threat with his arm, the defense will collapse the LOS and take away the run. The reason why Vick and Cam can run is because of that threat to throw the accurate deep ball. If all Pryor can do is run, he won’t last long as a QB.
August 8th, 2012 at 1:19 pm
RR, why’s KrappyRat having his period all over the blog?
Poor old troll got to perv out all over DHB at Raider practice, you think he’d be happy
Man, if only DHB knew how close he was to getting stalked by a dumpy old realtor
Just ask Bubba Paris, holla

Why do You People want to convert TP to a TE. He is 6′6 230+ and runs a 4.3 40. If I was going to switch his position, I will let him play WR. Same size and speed as C Johnson.
August 8th, 2012 at 1:20 pm
468. Agree that Knapp has tons to prove here after getting demoted to QB’s coach and then promoted back up to OC.

A couple of years ago I was walking through the park with my 16 year old son, and I bet him I could still grab the rim. Well, I did it….but it was not a good decision. Every ligament and muscle in my arm, shoulders, and back ached for a few days, and even my legs protested for a few hours lol.

I like CP as a QB but dont feel knapp’s system will bring out the best in him. too bad allen didnt commit to saunders. just feel we would be in a better place all around with Al saunders not Knapp as coordinator.

August 8th, 2012 at 1:35 pm
Well, if TP doesn’t show significant progress in training camp and preseason, he will be gone or transitioned into a new position by next year.
This is not DA or Reggie’s guy, so they are not going to waste a roster spot on this guy unless he shows a lot of potential, and soon.
Otherwise, next year when Reggie has more room to operate, I would expect Pryor to be gone. They will want their own project QB to work on….preferably one who can throw a spiral.

Lets wait to see what he does in Dallas. He had bad practices at OSU. Not a natural passer and I doubt he ever will be.
He may be our new TE next year. LMBO!!!!

If Reggie and Coach Allen don’t do their jobs properly…they will not be employed by the Raiders. Reggie and Coach A would be foolish to cut TP. Reggie and Coach are highly intelligent and would’ve cut Pryor weeks ago if they didn’t see incredible talent in that young Man.

Palmer loves Knapp and his system. Bucky caught him on one of the off days and probably just saw a couple of plays.
Cork and Jerry have been watching way more Palmer than Bucky and they would’ve mentioned if he was doing poorly.
In fact they DID mention the few times where he was off target etc.
Like today. CP threw an int. but he also had some good plays.
August 8th, 2012 at 1:47 pm
Yep DJ…Palmer must eliminate those darn INTs. Palmer would be a top 10 QB if he would improve on not throwing INTs.
August 8th, 2012 at 1:48 pm

He takes some risks. He has alot of confidence. But yes..definitely needs to cut down on those int’s.
He needs to get back to 2005 form when he went for 32 td’s and 12 int’s almost 4,000 yds.
Beat Manning that yr (stat wise) even though Manning’s Colts went 14-2.
August 8th, 2012 at 1:53 pm
We are not seeing any reports that show TP as an NFL calibur QB that is just waiting for an opportunity.
…but there is a long list of good to great QBs who had questionable starts.
TP has talent, work ethic, and time on his side for now. He’s like a redshirt freshman who wont be needed until his senior year.
In my Iverson voice: We talkin’ bout a 3rd string QB, man, 3rd string… not a starter, not a backup but 3rd string, man!
If he’s not ready to start 2015 and Leinart is gone, then I trust Raider Regg a.k.a. Reggie Mac a.k.a Big Blake McGriffin will have a replacement ready

Lefty….Palmer would be No. 10 because he didn’t take the Bengals far into the playoffs. That nasty injury to his leg several years back could be part of the reason he throws sooo many darn INTs.
