Around the NFL Week 7

Tomlinson is getting a start vs. SD this week...some type of "ceremonial" start. His role should stay the same though, unless he gets hot.

Carson Palmer starting is a game I'd love to see. I can't imagine he'll be very effective just days after joining the Raiders and not playing for so long. Going to be interesting for sure.

I agree. Excited to see Palmer .... BUT..... The skins and raiders are both on at 1:00... So that kinda sucks.

Nah, Raiders are at home (I am going) -- 1pm PT / 4 ET. Skins at 10 PT.

He might have 10-30 plays on a wristband for him to call this week. The rest of the game will be the McFadden show. The last thing the Raiders want is to have a QB who hardly knows the playbook be the main man. We all know how Kerry Collins and John Beck looked when they had little time to learn the playbook.
