Preseason stats don’t faze Palmer
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Tuesday, August 21st, 2012 at 5:11 pm in Oakland Raiders.
Stolen from Wednesday’s paper, plus notes . . .
Carson Palmer isn’t fond of the statistics he’s compiled through two preseason games, but he’s not losing sleep over it.
In some of the more reactionary parts of Raider Nation who are fond of social media, Palmer is already an “issue.’’
He’s throwing interceptions. Missing open receivers. Making bad decisions.
Critics have all the proof they need by looking at the bottom line _ Palmer is 16-for-30 for 240 yards, a 53.3 completion percentage with no touchdown passes and two interceptions for a passer rating of 38.2
For those who believe that preseason football is a precursor to regular season performance, the numbers are almost too JaMarcus-like to contemplate.
Palmer, while not defending his interceptions and admitting to some errors within the offense, also recognizes it’s an entirely different game.
For instance, Palmer may go to a specific receiver simply to give him some work. Or attempt to force one into coverage just to see if it’s possible. Risk-reward doesn’t apply, because in the grand scheme, there is no risk. Only a potential reward and information to be gleaned regardless of the end result.
“That’s what (preseason) is for, really, unless you’re a young guy that hasn’t played and just wants to get acclimated to the speed of the game,’’ Palmer said. “I’ve been around long enougn and that’s not something I’m trying to do.
“There are things we’ll work on and plays we’ll put in we normally wouldn’t put in, or if we want to see if this guy can run by that guy. There are a ton of situations that come up where you do things you wouldn’t do in a regular season game.’’
Both of Palmer’s interceptions were on deep throws _ an overthrow to Jacoby Ford against Dallas when he got a single-safety look that dictates taking a shot downfield, and another high-and-away shot to Richard Gordon that Arizona’s Kerry Rhodes picked off and returned 60 yards.
Although the Raiders went into a regular-season mode and actually began doing some game-planning for Saturday’s game against the Detroit Lions, Palmer’s approach will still be more of a fact-finding mission than a quest for efficiency and a high passer rating.
Ford is injured, Denarius Moore remains out with a hamstring strain and Darrius Heyward-Bey was back at practice but has a shoulder injury. That puts undrafted rookie Rod Streater into the starting lineup and means lots of time for rookie fifth-round draft pick Juron Criner.
“Part of it is, let’s see how they handle being starters, being in with the ones,’’ Palmer said. “I know there’s going to be a lot on a handful of guys’ plates, but it’s a good chance to see how they react to the situation.’’
Raiders coach Dennis Allen has brushed aside any talk of Palmer’s preseason struggles.
“I don’t have any reservations or any doubts at all about Carson Palmer,’’ Allen said.
Palmer looks at the 10 series he has played in two games and sees three Sebastian Janikowski field goals, a lot of mistakes and an equal amount of potential.
“It’s encouraging to know we’ve made a bunch of mistakes, and we’ve still moved the ball,’’ Palmer said. “We’ve been nowhere near where we can be when we’re all clicking and on the same page. It’s just a matter of time. We just need to keep working, keep our heads down and keep playing.’’
NOTES
– Center Stefen Wisniewski missed practice with a calf strain, making it more likely Alex Parsons will get the start against Detroit. Considering the amount of time Wisniewski missed this offseason, Parsons could soon be in line to start the regular-season opener.
– Wide receiver Jacoby Ford (foot), wide receiver Denarius Moore (hamstring, running back Rashawn Jackson (hip), linebacker Aaron Curry (knees), tackle Ed Wang (shoulder) and tackle Zach Hurd (head) , defensive tackle Jamie Cumbie (foot) and defensive tackle Richard Seymour (veteran’s day off) also did not practice.
– Safety Michael Huff returned the practice after witnessing the birth of his daughter, 6-pound, 2 ounce Madeline Rae Huff. Also back were Matt Leinart (lacerated right index finger) and wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey (shoulder).
– Allen started the Raiders on a regular-season schedule, which included closing practice to the media. Ordinarily, the Raiders didn’t close practices until the team returned to the facility in Alameda.
The Raiders practice Wednesday and have their last practice in Napa on Thursday.
– Raiders rookie linebacker Korey Bosworth was 1 when his uncle, Seattle linebacker Brian Bosworth, was flattened by Bo Jackson on a 2-yard run at the Kingdome on Nov. 30, 1987.
“He actually called me up and told me someone might eventually start asking about that,” Korey Bosworth said. “He said, just be nice when that question comes up.”
So how does Korey Bosworth look at the play now that he’s a Raider?
“If I had to say now, I’d say it was a good play by Bo Jackson,” Bosworth said. “But being family and everything, it was just a bad angle, you know?”
Bosworth was laughing as he said it.

August 21st, 2012 at 5:42 pm
Palmer being an issue is hilarious! He may have some INT problems, but some people are acting like we have had amazing QB play for the past 8 years. Palmer is better than any QB since Gannon.
August 21st, 2012 at 5:42 pm
That’s what I’m saying Purv!
Klas, it’s been not awesome.
O,
Palmer only had 4int’s in ‘08!

Palmer is still better than Jay Schroeder.
August 21st, 2012 at 5:47 pm
Not. Worried out of my pants let the season start and let’s see eat Carson does
August 21st, 2012 at 5:47 pm
I wish CP3 would have told us what he said to Knapp when he got in his face.
Palmer needs to be the OC.
August 21st, 2012 at 5:48 pm
I personally am not panicking over Palmer’s preseason stats. Its such a small sample size, to extrapolate that out over the course of a season is ridiculous. If the dropped passes by Ford, Criner and DHB are caught, those alone would take his completion percentage of 60%. A dropped TD by DHB . . . Its just way too early to panic. If its time for Raider fans to panic, they should be panicking in Denver and San Diego too:
Rivers – 1 TD, 3 INT’s
Manning – O TD’s, 3 INT’s
August 21st, 2012 at 5:49 pm
#1 active player with most int’s thrown: Peyton Manning. #2 Drew Brees. I would take both those players.
August 21st, 2012 at 5:50 pm
O,
Palmer only had 4int’s in ‘08!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Really? How many games did he play, 3? lol

Vet QBs push it a little more and do things they wouldnt do in regular season. Palmer shows there is no reason for concern. Now the ZBS, thats cause for concern.

Yes he is, and he is a solid QB, but does that mean he/we should ignore his issue with INTs?
August 21st, 2012 at 5:55 pm
Palmer will throw 14 INTS and 24 TDS
August 21st, 2012 at 5:55 pm
SaintMcGiver,
Excellent idea. Where is Vegas when you need him?
August 21st, 2012 at 5:56 pm
We just need to keep working, keep our heads down and keep playing.’’-Palmer
Heads down?!? Hmmmm, just cut out the picks already and keep your head up!
August 21st, 2012 at 5:56 pm
Should the Raiders take a look at Merriman too?…Was it a combo of injuries and not being suited to play DE in Buffalo or is he finished?…What think you?
August 21st, 2012 at 5:57 pm
PALMER PULLS THE TRIGGER, yes its awful at times, but it pays off in other games & situations.
Lets wait & see what he takes and chances week 1 before we all read too much into it.
Palmer in 2 games against SD last year 717 yards 4 tds 2 int
He will be fine.
August 21st, 2012 at 5:58 pm
YO DUDES
had somthin bangin on the rear door all day, but when i thought i was ready to roll a duece, out comes a blast of wind that knockked holla off her feet and blew the front door right off its hinges. now i gotta hang a sheet over the door to keep the flies out. word.

Sometimes you need to rock it like a Swede. When that happens, your going to throw INTS. That’s life.
August 21st, 2012 at 5:59 pm
Not worried about CP at all…New offense…Injuries to Moore, Ford, Myers and Wiz Jr….Pre-season is just that.
August 21st, 2012 at 5:59 pm
Vegas still working that Javon Walker case!
August 21st, 2012 at 6:02 pm
PM: 399 TDs & 198 INTs
Rivers: 163TDs & 78 INTs
CP: 167 TDs & 116 INTs
Let’s not compare.
August 21st, 2012 at 6:02 pm
+/- 18 Palmer INT’s
August 21st, 2012 at 6:02 pm
YO
the noise was rumblin so hard it shook the television right off the dining table. i swear it felt like a 7.2 on the rickter scale. just a blast of air. good theing holla wasn’t lightin up a smoke or we’d be a hundred miles south of the border right about now. mercy

August 21st, 2012 at 6:03 pm
Dang missus beeecham, you a grimy broad.
August 21st, 2012 at 6:03 pm
Again, if he’s playing like this vs. San Diego in a few weeks, we can start worrying. For now though, no worries.
August 21st, 2012 at 6:04 pm
S Merriman had a few PB years when he was on roids, he got busted, and he wasnt the same after that.
Merriman without Roids is no good IMHO.
August 21st, 2012 at 6:05 pm
Let’s say we go with 16 int’s, the button is a push.
This would be a decent little prize….

a co worker of mine suggest going to a 3-4 and have huff move to corner. get 2 hitters at safety and have a rotating DL. he said that our d is more suited for this because our strength is in our LB’S. he talked about catering to the talent we know will be here and build around them instead trying to get a brand new line, secondary and so on. i thought about it for a while and figured it may be the most logical thing to do. howard, morrison , huff, namdi and burgess would be our core for now. if you could get some b level safeties at worse who can hit then you would have a more physical secondary and put clemons as a rush str olb with thomas on the wks morrison ilb and williams/ thomas or pick/ fa the other ilb. haynesworth may be too expensive so if that doesnt work u pick up the next tier of d-lineman who fit for now. you can always rotate between 3-4 4-3 and a 4 2 5 with huff playing roving cb fs while routt plays as a third cb. washington gets pushed around too easily by big wrs. with the right DC it may work because we have faster athletic lbs than when ryan came here. it also may be a cost effective way to shore up the d and allow the few stars we have on defense to become more potent if we build around them by catering to them. i say attack the damn qb!!!

I could see him with right around that mark of 16-20. If he goes under one/game he probably isn’t throwing enough! I just care about W’s though.

Carter, if healthy, would be a solid pickup, another pass-rushing specialist to pair with Tollefson and fill Wimbley’s role….could get us 6 to 8 sacks, maybe more and provide speed rushing from RE, not Shaughnessy’s strength.

I totally agree with you O. Turnovers suck and costs games. All teams have to deal with them. If Palmer throws picks that are the result of crappy throws on our side of then field you will hear about it from me. If he’s chucking long bombs and getting picked way down field then it’s more of a change of possesion, just going for it.

I was just going back and looking at my 1st round draft “wish lists”, dating back to 2003: Coulda, shoulda, woulda …
2003 – Nnamdi (hard to argue with that one)
2004 – Robert Gallery (I was drinking the koolaid along with everyone else)
2005 – Aaron Rodgers (local boy; great QB; projected earlier at #1; he was right there!)
2006 – Ernie Sims, LB
2007 – MEGATRON! MEGATRON! MEGATRON! MEGATRON! Damn it all!!
2008 – Darren McFadden (I absolutely loved this guy!)
2009 – B.J. Raji, NT
2010 – Rolando McClain (I wish I hadn’t wanted him so bad)
2011 – no pick
2012 – no pick
I’m no GM, but most of them turned out pretty well, don’t you think?

Hey Purvisman weren’t you like the very first ever to post here? Way back when this blog started.
========================================
This is currently the first non-spam comment, to a season wrap-up article from December 2007:

a co worker of mine suggest going to a 3-4 and have huff move to corner. get 2 hitters at safety and have a rotating DL. he said that our d is more suited for this because our strength is in our LB’S. he talked about catering to the talent we know will be here and build around them instead trying to get a brand new line, secondary and so on. i thought about it for a while and figured it may be the most logical thing to do. howard, morrison , huff, namdi and burgess would be our core for now. if you could get some b level safeties at worse who can hit then you would have a more physical secondary and put clemons as a rush str olb with thomas on the wks morrison ilb and williams/ thomas or pick/ fa the other ilb. haynesworth may be too expensive so if that doesnt work u pick up the next tier of d-lineman who fit for now. you can always rotate between 3-4 4-3 and a 4 2 5 with huff playing roving cb fs while routt plays as a third cb. washington gets pushed around too easily by big wrs. with the right DC it may work because we have faster athletic lbs than when ryan came here. it also may be a cost effective way to shore up the d and allow the few stars we have on defense to become more potent if we build around them by catering to them. i say attack the damn qb!!!
****************************************************
Good job on the research. Purvisman did post on the very first article Jer put out here, but it was like 6 years later, followed by The Blackhole (aka Priesttj perhaps), also six years later. Thats why I thought he was the first non spam, but after looking at the dates, its clear. Actually Jer didnt get a poster til 3 years later. Spam of course.

If we are considering picking up Carter (DE), there has got to be a trade in the works for one of our DTs, as this our best and deepest set of players at a position.
August 21st, 2012 at 8:28 pm
DJ…I read your posts in the previous topic regarding Seabass.Not being #1 value etc.You don’t remember the feeling of dread on 4th down in the clutch the years prior to Al drafting him I guess.Cant remember having had those feelings since.He will be without a doubt in my mind the greatest kicker in the history of the game.AL got sh!t from all sides over that.Now even the fools at BSPN are grudgingly coming round to this view
also.He’ll have every record there is to have by the time he’s done.Still don’t believe that 61 yarder in Cleveland was even possible.He defines ‘clutch’ and he has been our offense since 2003 or so.

Eli Manning had 29 TD’s and 16 INT’s last season and it was good enough to win a Super Bowl.
I expect similar numbers from Palmer this year.
August 21st, 2012 at 8:35 pm
I like DA, but having Saunders as OC was no brainer IMO . Hiring Knapp was a risk. Knapp is not a bust yet and deserves 6 games before being evaluated. I mean in reality Reggie hasnt done much except cut salary and bring in some low tier free agents who he hopes develops in to legit nfl starters. i think Reggie for some reason is getting a pass when IMO the raiders should go from 8-8 to playoffs.

He’s done more than that. He’s revamped and modernized the entire organization and brought it up to NFL standards. He’s hired a bright young coach and empowered him to win without being nitpicked on every blitz. And he’s completely done away with the “Raiders vs. the Media” mindset that was so prevalent. In short, he’s exactly what the organization needed. AWESOME hire by Mark Davis.

Reggie is doing great…
You all know I like to play the Negative Nancy usually…but it’s only out of love of the cause…to stir the pot….to shake the Bushes as Coach Allen puts it….
Reggie is being patient….realizes that it’s a marathon and not a sprint…
It’s not all bad folks….
I can put a positive spin on the pre season for ya too:
Our 1st Team Defense looked great in both games….gave up points in a short field against Phoenix on the first drive…had a nice goal line stand after a turnover….
Offense has been decent…2 picks were on 1st and ten…so we have to blame the coordinator and the QB….one of the two needs to realize they are going to have to be in charge….and neither of them have figured out who that is going to be yet….
Palmer needs to know that he see’s the pre-snap variables last, he has to be the one to sign off on the first down shot plays….Take a shot if it’s there….if not, throw it away and play another down…
As far as the run game goes….we need to vary it in all our packages…
If you look at the half time stats from the game Friday….we were dominating in every category except the scoreboard….and that was our mistakes…all correctable mistakes….
Factor in that we had 3 WR drops in game 1….a DHB Drop in game 2 for a TD…and no starting TE through both games….We also had to play 2 games in 5 days after a supposedly tough training camp start…..& I’d say we are A-Okay…
My only issue continues to be with RICHARD SEYMOUR…
If I was out at practice…I would make the him HATE me because I’d constantly be calling the man out…
Right now….his lack of drive is our biggest concern IMO…
August 21st, 2012 at 9:25 pm
Palmer’s approach will still be more of a fact-finding mission than a quest for efficiency and a high passer rating.
==================================================
I think a little more emphasis needs to be placed on finding out if TIM can start practicing ball security now.
Have a feeling that the efficiency and high passer rating might be contingent upon that in the regular season.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:34 pm
No Moore, no Ford, no Wiz, no Bush,….
If DMAC goes down, Palmer is going to be running for his life.
August 21st, 2012 at 9:42 pm
DMAC isn’t going down….

Lol, funny! And of what transgressions is Reggie culpable?
We have to see how the season plays out before we point the finger at him.
Btw, AD, was a member of living dead for the past 10 yrs, reminding us of a zombie movie: there are plenty of mistakes to point finger at AD, mainly the near destruction of the club.

I am with you Backstage, but what can we do ? Hopefully he absence in the pre-season will keep in the regular season longer.
Seymour is over the hill: maybe we get some good games out of him.
Also, I don’t consider him a leader on the club. Leaders aren’t appointed or made, they are self created by one who does what no one else can do, when no one else will do it – leading by example. Seymour doesn’t strike me as the type.
August 21st, 2012 at 10:46 pm
Agreed
August 21st, 2012 at 10:53 pm
I’m not worried about CP3. He’ll be just fine. If you haven’t read this article, please do as it explains a lot of what we’ve seen so far.
http://www.insidebayarea.com/raiders/ci_21367028/oakland-raider-carson-palmer-not-concerned-about-lackluster
Experimentation now can mean points in the future. Palmer is playing it smart. I think he just needs tall receivers like DHB, Streater, Criner & maybe a Plexo thrown in there too. Receivers got to go up and or out to fight for that ball. I personally think our starting WR corps will be DHB, Moore & Streater.
August 21st, 2012 at 10:55 pm
Duck even if we had gotten Ron Wolfe back in Reggie’s place some in here would be calling HIM out for his ‘ignorance’.
The ‘instant gratification’ generation or something I guess.
August 21st, 2012 at 10:58 pm
Palmer is throwing to a bunch of unprovens at WR and TE, so what he says about this pre-season being a simple “let’s see what these guys can do” no downside situation.
Which I stated about a week ago
August 21st, 2012 at 11:01 pm
As long as it’s not Bryant (unless we get a first round draft pick).
I expect it to be Cumbie, Hamilton, or Seymour at trade deadline, when teams are simply picking up ringers for a playoff run.
August 21st, 2012 at 11:04 pm
JB I’m with you on Palmer.If we start 0-4 and he looks like sh!t then I’ll start whining.Wideouts will be IMO
DHB,Criner and Streater.Moore must have the mother of all hammies.Dunno about Plex though…anyone that shoots himself in his own a$$ is suspect upstairs IMO.
August 21st, 2012 at 11:07 pm
Look at Jerry laying another blog smackdown. He probably shakes his head as he reads some of the Chicken Little comments in here.

Some of you are hiilarious. After 2 preseason games you already want to BBQ Reggie Mac? I hope you people don’t own guns.
August 21st, 2012 at 11:17 pm
There is big concern with the health of Moore and Ford. That is the only thing that matters in preseason: the health of your starters. We are lucky the Chargers have no running game and have lost one WR heading into the opener. Reggie McClain is a genius compared to the last 10 years of Al Davis’ life!

and with good reason I’m sure.
My question is how do we get out from under a contract like his or do we?
I’m unsure if he’s paid if he’s cut but I do know it costs some way.BTW I’m a big rich fan and I hope he brings it this year but I have hope not knowledge.

i hope carter is healthy. i met him a couple years ago at a gymboree. both of our kids were playing there. talked to him for a while. a really cool guy. and huge. he’s one of those guys, that th second u see him, u say “that guy has to play pro football”. he just seemes designed by God to be a football player. tall, wide shoulders and frame. just looks like a great athlete. he could not only help as a situational pass rusher but possibly at LB.

The problem I have with it is THAT is the kind of treatment only a future hall of famer who has had so much of an impact on his team that such preferential treatment is merited.
Not saying Seymour is “bad” or even that he’s not a decent …maybe above average player right now, but as much as I hate to say it…i agree with Sapp; still waiting for him to take over a game…not just have people tell me he did…even though i didn’t didn’t hear his name called.

Oakland Raiders Vs. Detroit Lions 8/25/12: Ryan’s Free NFL Pick Against the Spread Free Football Picks Written by Ryan on August 21, 2012 There doesn’t look to be any significant injuries heading into this preseason game, so we should see all of the usual starters playing for both teams. The third preseason game is usually a dress rehearsal for the starting units. The starters will at least play the first half and may come out for the start of the third quarter in this game. The edge has to go to the Detroit Lions in this game. Oakland will not have any answer for Stafford and Johnson and the Detroit defense will put too much pressure on Palmer and the Raiders rushing attack. The Lions will score early and often and as long the reserves can hold onto the lead in the 4th quarter, Detroit should have no problem covering in this one.////////////////WTF
August 22nd, 2012 at 12:43 am
my prediction for palmer this season:
yds- 4350
tds- 26
ints- 18
fumb- 4
so i got him for 22 turnovers this season, which is about average for him.. he could put up better numbers if mcfadden stays healthy but im assuming he wont so thats where i have palmer this year..

Good morning Nation! Is anybody out there?lol
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:46 am
Cedric Benson is going to get mauled tomorrow by Bungel’s D.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:51 am
not concerned about Palmer’s stats. More concerned about the ZBS and our lack of depth at WR. Jacoby is fragile and DMoore has been out a long time. i believe 100% in Dmac , but am concerned the best defense against him is the ZBS. obviously wish saunders was in charge to continue to build on the offense scheme that imo fits our offensive personnel better. Losing Chad and murphy arent franchise changers but imo reggie needs to get a vet WR in here fast.
August 22nd, 2012 at 5:51 am
Andre Carter visiting the Rams next, looks like he didn’t get an offer from us yet, maybe he’s not all the way back from injury.

Carson Palmer’s average of 340 yards and 68.8 completion percentage with 4 TD’s and 3 Int’s over the final 3 games of last season, with a playoff spot on the line, indicates he can clearly play at a high level.
Skills won’t hold Palmer back yet, the new Offense might, but there’s still time.

Last night, hooked up with some skank from adultfriendfinder, got off and went home. well this mourning i wake up, notice that my dik is like plastured to my boxers with discharge substance dripping out, i get up go to bathroom, peel my dik off boxer and start to urinate, yup , it burns really bad. After peeing in spurts for like 10 mins ,i get shower, get dressed, pack my pipe and leave. As im putting truck in reverse i relize i forgot my phone, so as i get out to get it, i forgot about my glass piece on my lap ,it falls and smashes into pieces. Then i go to doctor get a shot and head to work. My phone rings and its the wife, happy aniversary she says. Great, now i have to come up with a reason why i dont want to have sex tonight.
Does anybody have good reason? ty nation for the help.

———————————
The idiotic behavior on this board is at a fever pitch. Some of y’all really need to check which team you root for. I agree with JFB, it seems a lot of people here are rooting against our team.
If you have derogatory nicknames for Rich Gannon you might not be a Raider fan… If you also have derogatory nicknames for our current starting QB, you definitely are an imposter.
For all you Greg Knapp haters… go rewatch the game. He put us on the 1 yard line. Our O-LIne got blown up. Not his fault. Knapp has repeatedly called the right plays, it’s been a clear cut lack of execution that has kept us from scoring.
For all you CP3 haters…. Palmer hit DHB on the numbers for 6 and the receiver didnt make the catch. Following that he made a brilliant throw while going down that Streater couldnt hold onto.
In the previous game Ford let him down on multiple plays.
Palmer’s receivers have to make the plays.
RunDMC repeatedly missed open running lanes, Goodson couldnt hold onto the ball, and when our OLine wasnt getting blown up on the 1 they were allowing our QB’s to run for their lives.
Go re-watch the game a few times. CP3 and Knapp are not the current problem.
When our receivers arent dropping passes, Goodson isnt fumbling, and our O-line isnt waiving defenders by, we actually move the ball quite nicely.

The future of the DL is Houston/Bryant/Christo inside, Shaugnessy moving to LDE and us finding a Pass-Rushing RDE in the mold of Jared Allen, Osi Umenyiora, John Abraham…you know, a double-digit Sack, speed rusher who can turn the corner and get to the QB.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we drafted one in the 1st or 3rd round next year, provided he’s better value than a CB another area of need.

I agree with all except the o-line on the 1 yard line. There i blame Knapp. My reason is bcause he calls zone runs, when you block for a zone run the o-lines first step is lateral , they dont attack the d-line.

But let’s be honest, some guys seem to have blind faith in every single move Reggie and DA do, it’s time to realize they will make mistakes too, everybody in the League does, it’s part of the job, not an exact science you know?.
Those posters who can’t take healthy criticism and believe every move they make is the right one are actually not helping the new guys…gotta give them some room to operate, grow into their roles and take some lumps, like everyone else before them.

I used to live in Sanoma County; still got family there. Usually head to Petaluma once a year. It’s always nice to fly back into Oakland and be back to the “Motherland” so to speak.

Yeah, I’m looking forward to the game for sure…. But we drew a tough team for our “Dress Rehearsal”. I mean, honestly, it’s one of the toughest teams we could face at this particular point in preseason. They’re absolutely physical on defense. It will be a good test to be certain. We’ll get a real good feel for where we stand at the end of this game I think. There’s a little nagging feeling in the back of my skull, that tells me there will be a collective SIGH as we think in unison….”DAMN, we ain’t there yet.”

August 22nd, 2012 at 7:36 am
The rumor that Palmer cannot run the West Coast offense are starting to surface.
It’s why Paul Hackett was fired at USC. Palmer does not trust what he sees in this offense this he’s late with the ball making him look inaccurate and turnover prone. He’s going to have to make a living off his check down WR.
The west coast offense is timing based. The QB drop and release has to be in lock sync with his WR route. You need a game manager to run that offense. Palmer is not a game manager. He thrives in a offense where he uses instinct and throws to a spot on the field. This is why he’s had success under coaches like Ken Zampese and Norm Chow.
McFadden is CRITICAL to the season, and a bell cow short-yardage RB is the key. Allen may need to mix in some deep shots, but with Ford and Moore out, its starting to look questionable. If Palmer can right the ship and DMC is back, the Chargers is a winnable game, because Rivers seems to have lost arm strength and they lack a true no. 1 back (Ronnie Brown is done)
August 22nd, 2012 at 7:38 am
Agree with the concern in playing the Lions for our 3rd. Hoping for no injuries. I’d be fine with DA pulling out the starters earlier than usual for this game.

THANK YOU JERRY!
I swear to almighty Zeus some of you guys on here have more anxiety than a spring rabbit. I live in Illinois so I can’t watch these preseason games till they get replayed on NFL Network. However, I come on here to try and glean some information from some of the best fans in football and all I read about is that Carson sucks and we can’t score, and he is missing all these throws and is inaccurate as hell etc. etc..
Then I actually watch the games and I cannot believe some of you guys are actually crapping your diapers over this guy. Do you not know what PRESEASON FOOTBALL IS?? Do you not know that this is nothing more than a scrimmage with our sweet looking uniforms on? Nothing more than a dress rehearsal for what the PROCESS of the game is going to be like–Which is especially Valuable for the new guys…Not guys named Carson Palmer..
You do realize that there is no game planning going on right now right? You do realize that they are just calling plays and seeing what happens. You do realize that Carson Palmer doesn’t give a flying F*(k if a pass that he is experimenting with (SINCE THIS IS PRACTICE)gets deflected, or misses its mark, or *gasp* gets INTERCEPTED…Heaven forbid! Do you go nuts when you shank one or two or three when you are PRACTICING on the Driving Range at the course? Or you miss 7 out of 10 jumpers from 3 point range at PRACTICE?? No, you don’t you keep on practicing because when it’s time to get it on, and live bullets are flying…you make those Shots, you execute that draw, and you complete that pass…Practice is what we do in order to get rid of the anxiety of actually doing it when we have to, so we can execute like we need to.
August 22nd, 2012 at 7:43 am
I hope they play this game to win it. Preseason games count for nothing, I know. But we have 2 straight losses and we need to prove to ourselves that we can impose will to make the “W” happen. It’s got to be a feeling the guys all get used to. Instead of just hoping the key flips the ingnition in game one, we need to establish some continuity of success. Some SWAGGER even.

Better not be more dink and dunk stuff from Knapp on Saturday night…or I’ll be very very worried about the Raiders, until DA strips his playcalling duties like Cable did.
============================
Fortunately, Al Saunders is still on the staff and could be a fall back….this is a run first deal, but McFadden is not necessarily the Arian Foster/Matt Forte that you need.
This falls back on Palmer being able to manage without turnovers in a young receiving corps…with no TE on top of it. Key is Reece being a check down back, and SOME WR stepping up – thank God that Streater guy came along – hopefully, he is the real deal and can put up 50 receptions are so.

I think the point is Palmer has a history of picks and it could continue as the offense struggles and he determined to do too much. Leinart looked better in it, but is injury prone, and Pryor hasn’t a clue at this point.
With cap problems tied into still high salaried players, this is a reboot year (Palmer had the playoff line just to keep the confidence up)

I think the D will bring more intensity since it’s a home game, would like to see Schmitt and Gordon leveling their defenders with blocks though. I say run the ball right at Suh all game to tire him out.

No doubt that look on the defense has lots of swagger. But can they maintain the drive, focus, and intensity over an entire game? Last year, the defense had some good halves of play mixed with bad ones. I hope preseason game #3 they let them simulate a regular season game and find out what the defense is made of. It’s kind of hard to believe in the evaluation based on a half of football.

Tx, I hear you man, but I disagree.
The Lions are a great offense and good defense and should be better than they are. But they remind me of what the Raiders have been struggling with the last decade. Discipline. They won’t get anywhere because they will shoot themselves in the foot with their reckless ways. They are a group of characters who lack character. Everything the opposite THE REGGIE is building here. We’re not there yet either, but we are getting back to sound disciplined basics and will watch other teams fall apart by themselves and win at their expense. So I don’t see any eye-for-an-eye stuff. Just smart winning football.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The picks that he throws, even in regular season games, are not any worse than what other QB’s around the league throw. The Arizona Cardinals would LOVE to have Carson Palmer starting for them…along with about 20 other teams around the league. Carson Palmer is fine…
His receivers on the other hand—Except for Streator–have to be spoonfed the ball. I don’t know what is up with DHB, but I swear to almighty Odin, that dude needs to start catching the ball with his GODD@MN HANDS and quit trapping the ball with his chest/neck. He had a PERFECT pass thrown to him by Carson for a would be 1st touchdown, you couldn’t throw it any better than that. Had DHB actually EXTENDED those two things called ARMS and used those other 2 things called HANDS with those 10 other strange things called FINGERS he would have separated himself from the defender enough to make the catch..Instead he performed the DEFINITION of Alligator Arms, and tried his trap crap and it bounced off his neck like a brick off the backboard. I could rattle off a list of about 30 WR’s who would have made that catch. Why is Streator so good? He catches with his hands.
Also, Jacoby has looked even WORSE–I don’t even want to get started on him because he hasn’t shown me anything in a long time, but I think he needs to spend a little less time at the Club and wanting to go to the Club and tweeting about it..and more time getting his head out of his A$$ and showing some awareness on the field…
Perhaps if some of these things happen Carson won’t look so “terrible”

Agree that receivers group as a whole is a valid concern. We really don’t know what we have going into the season. It does have a lot of potential, but there’s that dreaded “P” word again.
However, it goes without saying any number of teams would love to have a Carson Palmer. That’s not the issue here being discussed. The issue is whether or not Carson can adapt to Knapp’s version of the WCO at this stage of his career. Can an old dog learn new tricks? That is a very good and valid question and it shouldn’t be clouded in indiscriminate CP3 worship.

August 22nd, 2012 at 8:14 am
I was excited about Jacoby when he first came in — dude was explosive. He proved it on a number of returns. However, he is very one-dimensional. Anybody ever remember Dante Hall for Kansas City? He was explosive as a returner, but when they tried to also package him as a receiver – failure. If #12 can’t return kicks kite he used to, he’s not really of much value. And I agree with TX about how DHB has been “alligator arming” the ball — my only guess is that he’s preparing to get poned as soon as he makes the catch, so he’s trying to secure the ball quick. Use your hands man – all the great receivers do!

CP3 is simply testing out what he has — he has several free opportunities to do it, so why not? If the timing is off, so be it. We haven’t seen D. Moore yet and we’ve already seen enough of Streater to think that he may be okay. If Moore comes back strong, Streater keeps doing his thing, and DHB starts actually catching the ball again like he did last year, we should be okay. As long as DMac is healthy, Palmer will have a decent check down alternative, as well (In addition to Reece).

Jerry Jones is NOTHING like Al Davis was! Al knew football inside and out. Al gave people opportunities – he was a groundbreaker and a maverick. Jerry is just a former college player (and not even a GOOD one) who is a very rich man and very full of himself. He always has to be on the sidelines and in front of the cameras – Al didn’t give a crap about that – he just wanted his team to win. The only real similarity is that both he and Al were the GMs of their clubs in addition to being the owner. Oh, and Jerry did build the Jones Mahal!

Jerry Jones is NOTHING like Al Davis was! Al knew football inside and out. Al gave people opportunities – he was a groundbreaker and a maverick. Jerry is just a former college player (and not even a GOOD one) who is a very rich man and very full of himself.

The comparison is the fact that they both would be too involved in the schematics of the game, neither would hire a good GM also.

August 22nd, 2012 at 8:55 am
Carter could be a good pick up. Just have him in on third downs so he can rush the passer. Just think hes a situational guy though. We need another running back! Goodson is not going to cut it. Jones just seems to be hurt all the time.

Outside of Bears and Packers stuff I see Raiders stickers etc. most often which is strange when u think that this is a Cali team and we’re out here…you do see some Steelers stickers though.

Because the 10 sack guy is hurt seriously and he knows it. This guy is trying to be like BILL Walsh trading back in the draft so he can pick up quality starters and not any superstars in the first round.
Will all witness the fall of the PATS as soon as Brady retires. Brady is the only reason why Bilicheat looks so good!
The same situation was witnessed last year when Peyton was down.
Before Peyton went down. The so called draft experts were calling Bill Polian of the COLTS a DRAFT GURU! But the true colors of the team showed when there best player ws down for the season!

He tore up the Bears defense after they traded him ina game at Cincy..had like 170+ yds.

Really?? The pick against Arizona may be the worst pick in the history of the NFL. Unfortunately, a Raider has the worst one: Charlie Frye’s duck (not tipped) at Denver in 2009.

I agree! We need another RB on this team. DMAC is a TOP 10 RB in the NFL when he is on the field. However, I think Reggie does not want to over spend for an older back. I think he knows he can get a reliable back when teams cut down for a reasonable price.

My main worry about MNF is us starting TWO rookies at wideout.
We HAVE to see more from Criner this week I think against Detroit.
If he doesn’t start it appears he’ll get significant playing time regardless due to the injuries.
August 22nd, 2012 at 9:14 am
Benson is just trying to get a ring. Thats all.
He’s just going to be a glorified pass protector for Rodgers! Once he fails at doing his primary job which is pass protecting the team will probably cut him and put someone in there who will block for Rodgers and not complain about his carries.

Police: Man shot at Raiders-Cardinals game was Raiders fan wearing face paint
OAKLAND — An Oakland Raiders fan was shot in the face by an Arizona Cardinals fan in a parking lot outside the teams’ preseason football game in Glendale, Ariz., on Friday night, police said. It isn’t known whether the shooting involved a fan dispute.
The 30-year-old Raiders fan was wearing silver face paint when he was shot, Glendale police said Tuesday, but it’s unclear why the 57-year-old Cardinals fan, at the game with his wife, shot him.
“There has been absolutely no information obtained by investigators that would point to a specific conflict” between the two men over their team allegiances, Glendale police said in a statement. The shooting happened during the middle of the third quarter of the game.
The shooter had called 911 and told police the shooting was accidental. He has not been arrested, and officers continue to investigate, police said. A verbal skirmish preceded the shooting in the nearly empty parking lot, police said.
“What we can tell you is that there was not enough compelling evidence gathered on scene, through statements or physical evidence, to make the investigators comfortable with an arrest on the 57-year-old male,” police said.
The Cardinals couple had been watching the game and left before it ended, police said. It was unclear whether the Raiders fan, who is in stable condition, had been in the stadium at any point.
Both the shooter and victim are Arizona residents, police said.

So Soup’s pick to 325 pound Vince Wilfork in last year’s shall lacking by the Pats doesn’t make the list? Or how about his throw direct to the Pats safety Chung with no Raider in the area in the very same game? Those don’t make the list, eh? Instead you cherry pick an Int thrown in the preseason. Laughable. Keep pushing your agenda.

*Shellacking. Dam thing constantly changing my words.
August 22nd, 2012 at 9:23 am
You should be concerned about Palmer’s INTs!!!!!!
He loves to chuck that ball up way to much. He needs to learn how to portect the ball better and stop forcing passes.
This has not been an issue since just last year. He would force passes in Cincy as well. It was one of the main concerns I had when we signed the guy.
On the flipside he will gamble and make a throw that jsut blows you away but for every pretty deep ball it will cost you about two INTs.

Argue all you want but the #s never lie. Bottom line Palmer needs to make better decisions with the ball. He is capable of protecting the ball better. Especially when DMAC is breaking off Plus 7 yards a pop! That is not the time to throw a deep pass INT. Control the clock and walk the ball down the field.
August 22nd, 2012 at 9:28 am
@392 – nobody said I wasn’t concerned, but to say the Az pick was about the worst on NFL history is absolutely assinine. Dont twist it around on me.
August 22nd, 2012 at 9:28 am
Wasn’t it said that Steeler fans and Ravens fans were happy that Palmer were out of their division? With Ed Reed and Ploomalu in that division, I think they were more worried about losing to this guy than the pics he throws. Still, yes, it has to stop, but the one in AZ last Friday was not the worst pick in the history of teh NFL. Not even close…
August 22nd, 2012 at 9:28 am
Watching us so far, we could really use a speed rushing end. Carter has 76 sacks. Out bid them reg..

It’s not my money, but he’s said on a few occasions in interviews how he’s so hampered to do anything becuz of the cap.

We have a RB that can get you first downs on the ground and a kicker who is a weapon anywhere within the 55 yard line.

You may not find one! He did a good job coming off the couch. I hope he lights up the score board this year. Heck I would even take the probowl. But lets be honest! He still throws to many INTs at the wrong time. Skip preseason. Skip last year. I watch Cincy games all the time when he played. Palmer has had this issue forcing the ball since his season ending leg injury. He just has to eat the ball more at times. Throw it way and protect his field position.

If palmer doesnt want to work on the biggest problem in his game during the preseason fine… i hope his ballcontroll issues workout at practice.. i dont need to see him get outplayed by alex smith again..
When did Palmer get outplayed by Smith?

The picks that he throws, even in regular season games, are not any worse than what other QB’s around the league throw. The Arizona Cardinals would LOVE to have Carson Palmer starting for them…along with about 20 other teams around the league. Carson Palmer is fine…
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Really?? The pick against Arizona may be the worst pick in the history of the NFL. Unfortunately, a Raider has the worst one: Charlie Frye’s duck (not tipped) at Denver in 2009. Arizona is the only team in the league that MIGHT want Palmer as the starter IMO. Please name your other 19. This should be good.
———–
So Soup’s pick to 325 pound Vince Wilfork in last year’s shall lacking by the Pats doesn’t make the list? Or how about his throw direct to the Pats safety Chung with no Raider in the area in the very same game? Those don’t make the list, eh? Instead you cherry pick an Int thrown in the preseason. Laughable. Keep pushing your agenda.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
What’s my agenda??? And I’m still waiting for those other 19 teams.
August 22nd, 2012 at 9:42 am
In all fairness, it is pre-season and other QB’s have taken risky attempts as well, I’ll save my concerns and questions until he plays a real game.

Right?…….the Great Peyton Manning Threw 3 INT’s in his first two games this year also. Wooopsie

Argue all you want but the #s never lie. Bottom line Palmer needs to make better decisions with the ball. He is capable of protecting the ball better. Especially when DMAC is breaking off Plus 7 yards a pop! That is not the time to throw a deep pass INT. Control the clock and walk the ball down the field.

Fair enough, everybody would agree that he does need to fix the mental errors, especially later in games. I just won’t judge yet, until I see the final product that Reg and DA put on the field.

Hilarious! You’re just not getting it. Watch that play 100 times and explain to me how the pass EVER gets completed! It’s not about whether he overthrew the guy, QBs have misfires all the time. It’s the DECISION!!! This is why I’m bearish on Palmer.

Head coach Dennis Allen said the team will not “baby” Darren McFadden this season.
It’s exactly what we want to hear out of an aggressive head coach. McFadden is 100 percent healthy and has looked extremely explosive throughout camp. “I mean, [running back] is a tough position. They take some shots and that’s part of football,” Allen said. “We can’t baby him. We can’t protect him. We got to go out there and play football and give him an opportunity to carry the ball, and we hope that he’s able to stay healthy.” McFadden is overdue for some good luck on the injury front this year. His statistical ceiling is monstrous as a wildly talented three-down back.

The worst pick ever thrown would be one that kept a team out of the Super Bowl or lost a Super Bowl because of a bad pick.

I agree that was a poor pass but to call it “the worst in the history of the NFL” is a ridiculous statement.
I mean. your’e asserting it’s worse than Garo Yepremian’s hapless heave in the SB, or decision wise, Favre’s int. against N.O in the playoffs?
When u make statements like u did it shows you have some predisposed hatred of the guy.
As far as gravity of situation..it was meaningless. PRESEASON game. He’s taking chances…it’s PRACTICE basically.

I just don’t understand what all of the other teams QBs or QBs who are not even on the team anymore have to do with our current situation. Bottom line is Palmer needs to practice ball control and cut down on INTs.
Preseason means absolutely nothing to me. It is just practice under live fire. I am basing my reality off of the regular season.

You remind me of the drunken homeless guy at the 7-11 begging for money and acting stupid to get attention.

You know I would be pissed too if 4 home games were in London. I heard some crazy thing about still paying full price for season tix. Wasn’t it last year when the Niners had their home game in London that the season tix holders were mad that they are getting charged 10 tix and only can go to 9?

That’s just crazy man, I wouldn’t want to play for that team or be a fan, may as well keep them in London.

We need a back up for DMAC in the worse way.
I thought from day one Cedric Benson would have fit that role great. To bad we missed out, but I think Reggie’s Plan B will be to pick up a guy with some treds still on the tires after cuts are made.
To many fumble fingers and muscle pulls in the RB group we have now.

Peyton Manning has issues throwing to his right.
ESPN’s John Clayton and Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. have both picked up on this. Per Clayton, Manning is still having problems when trying to throw to his right for more than 10 yards. It’s a reminder that Peyton has had three recent neck surgeries, is 36 years old and has shown signs of diminishing arm strength.

Defensive coordinators everywhere are going to start doing a Manning shift like they do in baseball, loading the left side with defenders. Peyton is going down hard fellas, it’s almost over for him.

Like I said before, Manning isn’t even going to make it to the Raiders game. His O-line can’t protect him and they won’t be used to his audible shifts — a gap is gonna appear and he’ll get slaughtered. Then, we will have to face the Donkey offense led by the feared Caleb Hanie.

Debo,
I agree that was a poor pass but to call it “the worst in the history of the NFL” is a ridiculous statement.
I mean. your’e asserting it’s worse than Garo Yepremian’s hapless heave in the SB, or decision wise, Favre’s int. against N.O in the playoffs?
When u make statements like u did it shows you have some predisposed hatred of the guy.
As far as gravity of situation..it was meaningless. PRESEASON game. He’s taking chances…it’s PRACTICE basically.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Yeah, I should have specified that the pass had to be by a QB. At least my man Garo was under pressure though. And Favre at NO??? Dude, that guy should have a statue built in Minnesota for the game he played that day, especially in light of Bountygate!!! The guy got the sht kicked out of him! And he threw that pass on the run with a busted up ankle. Crucial mistake, but Palmer’s pick was 100 times worse. Dumbsht decisions like that are why the guy is never playing in playoff games.

I would say the dumbest interceptions ever thrown in an NFL game was when Neil O’Donnell threw 2 INT’s in the Super Bowl to Larry Brown.
Not only were they boneheaded plays he threw the ball right to Larry but he basically lost the Super Bowl because of his INT’s.
Now please tell me how an INT thrown in a meaningless preseason game is worse?

You’re obviously not getting it. Whether ist’s preseason or the playoffs is irrelevant. Favre played an awesome game and had been beat to Hell. NO defenders were in hot pursuit and he was running on a bad wheel. Tried to make a play to put them in the SB and came up short. Bad decision, but I can excuse that under the circumstances. How the hell do you explain the Arizona pick? Sure it’s preseason, but the guy is under some pressure. He’s been terrible the last two years and his propensity for picks has been identified as a big issue. Why does he throw that ball? Why would you think he won’t do something stupid like that in a regular season game given his history?

Debo,with your blind love of Jameatball I cant take anything you
say seriously. You say Palmer is a bad quarterback but put a fat
lazy out of shape drug user on a pedestal.you make no sense to
me at all !! and riddle me this batman.. why has no team picked up
the phone and called your golden boy for a job or even a try out??
last workout he had was last year in Washington, and then he shows
up weighing close to 300 lbs !!!

Most “fair” people would actually chalk that up to “That was bad..but it happens”. Sure it was an awful pass/decision and a critical mistake against a team which u can’t afford to make mistakes like that, but i don’t indict JC as that being the defining moment of his career, but then again i don’t have a predisposed agenda of hate against him.

CP is not a rookie, he has been in the league for some time now, same with Knapp, so I can understand why some people (including myself) have concerns with some of their issues that are starting to show AGAIN in this preseason.
I don’t want to keep posting the same stat, but look at Palmer’s stats the last 2 seasons (36 games), and tell me with a straight face that he doesn’t have a TO/ INT issue.

O,
Name me 1 QB that had stepped away from the game for 10 months and then without any practice or seeing a playbook gets called up to play in a blowout loss, gets 1 week of practice then is named the starter for the rest of the season?
The dude throws picks. Yep, true. That’s what kind of QB he is I guess. There have been many great ones that throw picks. He is not a check down game manager let the defense win type of passer.
Obviously you want someone else. Name any QB out of the last 20 that the Raiders have had that you would rather have. Let’s start there and then work our way back.

Not here to argue by any means, but he had two of the most undisciplined rout running wr in the game( owens and johnson). If you have to throw to a spot, and wr is not there, that could inflate your int stats.

You certainly have the right to be a fan of whichever team you want.

Carter could be a good pick up. Just have him in on third downs so he can rush the passer. Just think hes a situational guy though. We need another running back! Goodson is not going to cut it. Jones just seems to be hurt all the time.
——————————————————
I agree! We need another RB on this team. DMAC is a TOP 10 RB in the NFL when he is on the field. However, I think Reggie does not want to over spend for an older back. I think he knows he can get a reliable back when teams cut down for a reasonable price.
———————–
I understand Reggie is just waiting to pull the trigger on another Back. We just need sombody solid who can hold on to the freakin ball when there number is called.
I have a feeling that DMAC is gonna be healthy this whole season and run his ass off all the way to the Superbowl. I just have this GUT FEELING
