Pryor gets more work at Raiders' practice

With starting quarterback Carson Palmer out with cracked ribs, Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said backups Matt Leinart and Terrelle Pryor split snaps "evenly" at practice Wednesday.

Pryor later said that Leinart took "most of the snaps" - and that Pryor's share was "not much, but more than it was."

The third-stringer was in for all of three plays Sunday against Carolina. After the game, Allen said, "Matt's our backup quarterback. Terrelle's done a nice job. He's working extremely hard. We don't feel like he's ready to be the backup quarterback yet."

So, Allen was asked Wednesday, why the sudden change of heart? How did Pryor go almost overnight from not being ready to be a backup to competing for the starting job in Sunday's season finale in San Diego?

"We (got) a chance to come back and sit down and evaluate where we're at," Allen said. "Obviously, we got a chance to see what Matt could do, and we might need to see a little bit more of Terrelle. But we'll evaluate that as the week goes on."

From the fiscal standpoint alone, they should be looking at Terrelle in the game. Keeping Pryor next season and ditching Palmer's contract saves them 13 million which they need on the defensive side of the ball at least. If the Raiders don't give him at least a half worth of work this week, they deserve to continue to lose.

Palmer is gone. That was a contract designed to be terminated after this year. With Leinart the only other option it would seem Oakland would be wise to take a look at Pryor, unless they're still buying into Leinart.

I'm guessing they have Michael Vick's phone number. At least, I know Al would. :wink2:
