Carson Palmer failed to help lead the Raiders back to the playoffs last season, but the quarterback is excited for his first full season with the team and to receive his playbook. Under new coach Dennis Allen and offensive coordinator Greg Knapp, Palmer will be asked to reboot the machine with a new scheme. Oakland's offense is primed to resemble the Houston attack of recent years, where Knapp served as quarterbacks coach. "I am fired up to get my playbook," he said. "We have a lot of work to do. We have a new offense and a new defense. New terminology. But we're very excited. Personnel-wise, we have as good an opportunity as anybody to win the whole thing. ... I am excited to see how our personnel fits into this offense I have been watching. Monday can't get here soon enough."
