The Raiders are coming off a bye and play next 2 Games

at New Orleans

Home vs Jets

Consider

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that with offensive coordinator Greg Knapp taking over the play-calling duties from fired coach Lane Kiffin, the Raiders are expected to become far more balanced. Before Kiffin's departure, the run-pass ratio was heavily in favor of the run. Now, the Raiders' goal is to be as close to 50-50 between the rushing and the passing, news that should continue to push JaMarcus Russell's stats upward.

Russell's Last Game vs SD

22-37 277 Yds 1 TD 1 INT

Could be an option for QB bye week troubles.

 
Russell should be used as a last option. The matchup versus New Orleans could be intriguing, I don't see 300 and 3 td's there but if he ended up with 220 yards and 2 TD's, I wouldn't be shocked.

 
Russell has alot of tools but can he read and react to defenses? I think that's the major problem, like many other young Qbs.

I could see a "good" game vs. the Saints and Jets because of the scores but can he do it vs. a good defense in a close game? I don't think so at this point.

According to Al Davis.. Russell is already "A Great Player," so I'd trust him. :goodposting:

He is a great player. GET OVER IT.
 
Well, I dunno about the next two weeks, but I think he is getting a little better and more mature each game, so I got him as a throw in on a big trade just so I can plug him in during Brees bye week 9 (J-Mark at home vs Falcons.)

As a one week matchup play...hell, you could do a lot worse. As an every week guy? not a chance.
