Raiders | Russell remains starter for now
Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:59:11 -0800 Steve Corkran, of the Oakland Tribune, reports Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell remains the team's starting quarterback for the time being, in part because of a hamstring injury suffered by QB Bruce Gradkowski (hamstring) in Week 10. Head coach Tom Cable wants to meet with his quarterbacks, go over the plan for Week 11 and the rest of the season, and put that plan in motion, which could take more time than expected. "We haven't gotten anywhere with that decision," Cable said Monday, Nov. 16. "We hoped to be able to talk about it now, but we're not ready to do that." The discussions will be among Cable and his quarterbacks, with managing general partner Al Davis not influencing the decision, Cable said. QB Charlie Frye also is a viable option to start.

Raiders | Russell not yet in command of offense
Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:56:42 -0700 David White, of the San Francisco Chronicle, reports Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell fumbled the first snap of the game during Week 7 in part because he did not have the offense lined up in the right formation. Head coach Tom Cable called for a "four vertical" pass play from the Raiders' 10-yard line, thinking his aggressive call would catch the New York Jets by surprise. Russell, however, did not get the offense lined up in the right formation, then ignored the checkdown option while holding the ball too long. His ensuing sack and lost fumble were a predictable result. "You wouldn't expect to have that kind of mental error on the first play of the game," Cable said.
