We havent exactly filled all the holes, we still dont have a ton of depth on defense, so I still think were gonna draft the best possible player we need, unless theres some sort of potential superstar undrafted.

Palmer can’t wait until Monday


Here is the link to the interview with Carson Palmer that ran in today’s paper. He gets his playbook on Monday when the team meets for the first time with new coach Dennis Allen.

Two other things that Palmer touched on in our phone conversation:

1. How much he likes his young receiving corps.

He has made no secret of how good he thinks Denarius Moore can be, and Friday said that Moore “will be a star” with his “big-play making ability.” He has talked to Moore often this offseason and said he loves that Moore is disappointed he didn’t do more last season, when he got hurt. “He’s working hard this offseason and he wants to be the best, and I am going to push him.”

Palmer added that Darrius Heyward-Bey, Jacoby Ford and Louis Murphy are all hungry as well. And 6-foot-4 Eddie McGee looks poised to move up from the practice squad and take Chaz Schilens’ place.

2. The pressure that he feels validating Hue Jackson’s big trade for him last season.

Palmer feels it, but Palmer said he is always under pressure to play well.

“From the day you first get behind center, there is pressure — that’s just the nature of the quarterback position,” Palmer said. “I like that. And no one puts more pressure on me than I do myself. That’s not something I shy away from.”

His pass rushing alone makes him more valuable, but youre gonna say whoever they got now is better regardless. Just like when Aso left it was ok cuz routt was better...

Lol I think your better off arguing people saying it was okay when woodson left cause asomghua was better(cause that seems more plausible for some intoxicated breh to say), but saying its okay for nnamdi to leave cause routte is better is preposterous.

he didnt do shit pass rushing last year. he might of got pressures, but sack wise, if you take away the SD game with their 3rd stringers, he would of only had 3 sacks for the fuckin season.

that is not elite pass rushing numbers from a player getting payed at elite level. he was good and will be missed, but for the pay he was looking for no way see ya later.

The Raiders need run-stoppers more than pass rushers. Wimbley was a near-elite level pass rusher but we never have issues getting sacks, our Defense's big weakness has been stopping the run.

Wheeler is regarded as a solid run-stopper, and that's why Reggie picked him up.

Maybe if you spent more time actually paying attention to the personel and the game, instead of trolling, you would've known this.

Again - solid pick-up.

you're full of shit. his pass rushing doesn't factor in as linebacker skills. we ran a 4-3 and kam would move to defensive end to rush the qb.

no one ever said routt was better than nnamdi and you don't see me saying goodson is a better rb than bush either.

Now who said Routt was better than Aso? Hahahaha, not one Raider fan in here said that BS. Maybe Al probably thought he was just as good but then again Al was on his way out so his age probably was clouding his vision.
