Once the company line gets rolling, it’s like trying to stop a ocean liner on a dime. Sounds as if JaMarcus Russell could have led the Raiders to victory Sunday if his receivers had held on to a few more passes instead of absorbing a 29-6 loss to the Houston Texans. “I thought he played his best football all year in terms of where he is going with it and his presence and all of those things,†Raiders coach Tom Cable told reporters after the game. “ He got sacked a couple of times and was hit a number of times.†Russell, who like his coach and teammates has been quick to point out he’s far from the only problem, was asked how much the drops affected his performance and said, `A lot. When we are trying to stay on course . . . I don’t pay too much mind while it’s happening but as it goes on it’s s a lot back down deep inside. I know you have to keep guy with confidence. Keep coming at them; keep throwing the ball to them. That’s the only way it will get better.†Source: Oakland Tribune
yep, the raiders brass started blaming everyone ELSE on the team a few weeks ago to deflect some of the blame off of Russell. That approach probably pisses off a lot of the Raiders that ARE playing well ................
lol I told my wife that Russel was probably the Worst QB in the NFL and she was just like, well I am sure he isnt that terrible.... then she saw his stats on an update and was like OMG that is horrible..... he was like 12 of 33 passes on the day...... she kept reiterating how horrible he is.
Raiders fans do deserve more. Well some of them at least. I do know at least one Raider fan personally. :icon_cheesygrin: Let's face it, Al Davis will have to croak before anything changes.
I would of said this but I probably would been ganged up on by everybody who just saw the stat line. Im glad you said it.Rep
