Oakland Raiders
Carson Palmer knew just 15 plays in time for his Oakland Raiders debut
Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Al Saunders is known for the extensive verbiage and difficulty contained in his playbooks – when he has been with the Washington Redskins, word got out about 700-page playbooks, INCH and while any kind of playbook has lots of different iterations of the exact same basic concept, it is also true that no matter how you piece it, Saunders wants to have a lots of concepts on the field.That’s why it was a little surprising that Raiders head coach Hue Fitzgibbons had Carson Palmer moving in to replace quarterback Kyle Boller in the Raiders’ 28-0 loss towards the Kansas City Chiefs just days after he’d already been traded from the Cincinnati Bengals the previous Tuesday. The move has been made to shore up the team’s quarterback position after Jason Campbell broke his collarbone.Boller threw three interceptions in one half of football and looked like his usual horrible self, however it has been still kind of a shock to see Palmer in there so soon. You might assume that the only way that would take place is if the Raiders somehow adapted their own offensive concepts to what Palmer has been used to – in the end, Fitzgibbons has been the Bengals’ receivers coach from 2004 through 2006.No chop. Based on Palmer, he went to the game about as cool as might be. On Thursday, he told Bay Area radio station NINETY FIVE. 7 The sport that he knew just a number of plays.”I has been told I wasn’t going to play, INCH Palmer said. “I did not know the offense, I also had not been training and working out. So it has been a complete shock to me at halftime when [Coach Jackson] told me, ‘Hey, you realize we will get you in, within the 3rd one fourth. ‘”"I knew such as about 15 plays and we ran the same 15 plays again and again, INCH he said. “I just said, ‘All right, nicely that is what I am here to do, I am right here to play soccer. ‘ I has been very unpleasant and obviously not ready or ready, however it is a game of unknowns, it is a game of having game plans when you are in and things change. My own game plan wasn’t to play but I ended up actively playing. INCHThis confusion showed up in Palmer’s stat line – he finished just 8 of TWENTY ONE passes for 116 yards and put three picks of his own. Having already been sent from Cincinnati for one first-round draft pick an additional pick that could turn into another 1st on a conditional basis, Palmer did not exactly begin his Raiders career having a worth perspective.Talking to San Francisco station KNBR upon Thursday, Palmer went a little more into the way of thinking behind his insistence that if the Bengals did not trade or release him, he’d rather retire compared to play an additional down for the group. First, he gave a bit more insight in to the level of confusion behind his place start.”There’s not a word to describe what was going on, INCH Palmer said. “I had only been there a few days, and I knew my center’s name and my own correct tackle’s name and Darren McFadden’s name, however other than that, everybody comes up and says, ‘Hey, ‘ and you just kind of go ‘Hey, what’s going on man? ‘ You do not know their names, and you really feel bad about not knowing their own names. Because of it has been a weird, weird day, but it has been great to be back playing sports again. INCHBut the nagging question remains: Why ought to Raiders fans believe in a quarterback who walked away from a commitment to his team?”Well it’s been a long 8 years, INCH thee first overall pick from the 2003 NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE draft said. “I’ve been through a great deal, seen a great deal within that organization, and decided. I definitely realized it had been a self-centered decision that I has been making. I talked about it a lot along with my loved ones and decided that I’d like to continue to play but it has been time for you to move on. Also it has been time for them to move on.”I’m just excited and happy and blessed to be in the situation I’m in now playing for Coach Jackson and with this organization. I’m excited where this one is headed, and it’s also good where the Bengals organization is headed – they’re headed in a great direction, they’ve got a good young nucleus of players, they’re playing really well, and I think it worked out well for both organizations. “The good thing is that the Raiders will have a bye week to obtain Palmer up to speed. This bad information is that they’re facing this San Diego Chargers in their next game on November 10, and also the Chargers have a pretty fair pass defense these days.Palmer’s training wheels can come away from quickly, and it will likely be time for him in order to earn the trust of the Raiders … and also to validate 1 very expensive
