JaMarcus Russell: "I don't know where it went wrong"

Posted by Michael David Smith on October 21, 2010 10:33 AM ET

Former Raiders No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell says he still wants to play in the NFL, and he says he's not the same man now that he was when he played three disappointing seasons in Oakland.

"Now looking back on it, I could have went about certain things different," Russell said in an interview with Josina Anderson on Inside the NFL.

But when Anderson asked him to be specific about what he would do differently, Russell couldn't give much detail.

"I'm not sure," Russell said. "I don't know where it went wrong. But for the things that did go wrong, I take full blame for whatever was my fault and the things that did happen. Being drafted number one, there's so much that they want you to do at the snap of a finger. It didn't happen that way, which brings us to today."

Unfortunately for Russell, if he can't be specific about what he did wrong and what he will do differently if he gets another chance, it's going to be hard for him to convince NFL teams that he deserves another chance.

Russell insists that he will get another chance, however, telling FOX 26 in Houston, "I know for a fact. I have faith in God and strong beliefs. I know for a fact it's going to happen."

I still remember the rumor that Cable gave him a blank cd, told him it was film on the upcoming opponent, and when he asked Russell about it, JaMarcus told him he watched the whole thing.

I have no idea if it's true but it seems to summarize lardo's career.

I heard the same thing about Randal Cunningham. Don't think it's real
 
John Winger: "Oh, it's not the speed really so much, I just wish I hadn't drunk all that cough syrup this morning."

 
He's so stupid he can't even say the right things to get another shot. The guy has a lousy work ethic and couldn't let loose of his homeboys, which didn't help keep him focused. On the surface it seems he only cared about the money.

 
My favorite part of the video is his categorical refusal to play in the UFL because it's "not a good place" for him

You know I was thinking it could have been all the Big Mac's he was eating.

Any excuse to use the word sizzurp is enough reason for me.

:bs: They didn't have DVDs (or video CDs) when Cunningham was playing. :lmao: Dude.
 
Didn't help matters that, despite his lack of conditioning, lack of work ethic, and an arm like a broken Timex (only accurate twice a day) Al Davis kept rolling him out there. No consequences for his actions (or lack of same) so he just kept on keepin' on.

Have you heard of VHS? Or, god forbid, Beta?
 
I was thinking maybe he was inspired after reading the recent Mike Williams ESPN article...but then I remembered reading takes effort, so probably not.

This may border on FFA material but I couldn't resist. JaMarcus, are you kiddin' me? Unless you found God yesterday why exactly did he let you down in the first place?

"Meanwhile, Russell's agents, Ethan Lock and Eric Metz, got a "record deal and attractive cash flows for their client the first three seasons" ".Methinks they're now better off than their client.

Could this possibly be any more proof that the NFL needs a Rookie salary cap? It is insane that Russell, Leaf, Bosworth, etc., can go out and break the bank while established veterans have to get abused in order to earn similar money.

What'd You Say?: Did you just call that a JaMarcus Russell poster? A poster of JaMarcus Russell! That's a Fathead! A JaMarcus Russell Fathead! It's bigger than a poster by a mile. When did a football poster give you a life-size JaMarcus Russell? A Fathead has magnitude and attitude and you can move it and reuse it. It's tough, but it won't hurt your wall. No matter the size of your passion, this JaMarcus Russell Fathead will have make you say, "WOW! That's no football poster. That's a Fathead!"

:lmao:
