Michael Irvin asked Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha in an interview on NFL Network if quarterback JaMarcus Russell’s lack of preparedness was because of Russell himself or the coaching staff. “You can have all the intangibles, but unless you put in the work yourself...look, I came into the league as a safety and I had to move to man corner. Mentally, you’ve got to do it yourself, a lot of it’s going to be on you and I think he’s getting to the level that he realizes that." Source: Contra Costa Times
