Oakland Raiders QB Carson Palmer said he believes WR Denarius Moore will only get better in his second pro season; however, in order to do so, Palmer feels Moore must be more than just a deep receiving threat. 'Hes so explosive and can do so many things down the field, but for him to take that next step he needs to get more balls that arent deep balls or big posts down the field for touchdowns,' Palmer said. 'He needs to catch slants and curls and digs and things like that. And the way things are lined up hes the guy. Hes our 'X' receiver and Im excited for him. I know hes excited about this year and hes got a lot to prove.'
