Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News tweets that Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell weighed in at a svelte 271 lbs. when he reported to voluntary workouts this week. “Raiders note: JaMarcus Russell weighed 271 pounds when he reported for voluntary work-outs this week, according to source,” he tweets (just like we said he [...]
Former Oakland Raiders QB Jeff Garcia recently did an interview with Xtra Sports 1360 AM in San Diego and one of the topics was JaMarcus Russell. Surprised? Of course you aren’t! “As much as I was willing and open to helping the young guy, he’s gotta want to be open and willing to be helped [...]
We noted yesterday that everyone’s favorite NFL QB JaMarcus Russell of the Oakland Raiders wasn’t around the team facility for the start of voluntary offseason workouts. Well, according to Raiders director of squad development Willie Brown, Russell was closing on a house in Alabama. “He’s trying to close a home in Alabama. It’s something that [...]
JaMarcus Russell showed up to voluntary offseason workouts today in peak condition and was seen doing deadlifts at the team’s facility as early as 5:30 AM this morning. Hahaha! Just kidding! He didn’t show up, according to David White of the San Francisco Chronicle. White didn’t see JaMarcus anywhere and even asked a couple players [...]
We came across several items for the Oakland Raiders recently and since not all of them are worthy of their own post, we thought we’d put some bullet points together. Of course you saw that they acquired Kamerion Wimbley from the Browns yesterday, but here are some others:
ESPN’s Adam Schefter (who is pretty much never wrong) reports that the Oakland Raiders are supposedly putting their entire team on the block. It’s not known if Al Davis his made himself available via trade as well. “Raiders been shopping much of their roster, including CB Nnamdi Asomugha. But his contract makes him untradeable. More [...]
We just happened to be talking to some people about New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis tonight. And we just happened to do some YouTube searches for some of his plays. And we just happened to come across this amazing pick of his off of JaMarcus Russell. Check it out:
This is hilarious. No wonder the Oakland Raiders have no faith in JaMarcus Russell. Maybe this is the reason that he’s such an awful QB and why the offense is so horrible when he’s out there. Maybe no one can remotely understand what play he is calling in the huddle.
Eli Manning’s lesser-known brother Peyton Manning was voted the NFL’s MVP on Saturday, becoming the only player to win the award four times. Peyton Manning plays quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, a team that started the season 14-0 before losing the final two games to avoid the distractions of an undefeated season. Thusly, causing a [...]
Oakland Raiders all-world QB JaMarcus Russell didn’t make the team’s final meeting of the season, but head coach Tom Cable said he was excused for “personal reasons.” That’s all well and good, maybe he really had some personal issues to deal with. That is until Oakland Tribune columnist Cam Inman acted on a tip that [...]
With the season essentially over and no chance for the playoffs, you would think a team like the Oakland Raiders would want to get more reps and experience to their 2007 #1-overall pick JaMarcus Russell, right? Not the case. JaMarcus, welcome to your new low. Raiders head coach said on a conference call on Wednesday [...]
We’ve ripped JaMarcus Russell here before, and as long as he continues to behave like this, we’ll keep doing it. We’ve said this a million times before, but Oakland Raider fans are loyal people who deserve more than this. Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News was surprised to see Russell hanging around the [...]
Several Oakland Raiders players spoke highly of new starter Bruce Gradkowski. And while none took any direct shots at JaMarcus Russell, he hopefully was listening and taking notes. OTR obtained a copy of the players original thoughts before they were edited for the media. “One, a passion for the game, unlike that fat dick who [...]
Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell doesn’t have any clue why he was benched during a 16-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. No idea. Not at all. “I really can’t explain it,” Russell said of the benching. “I really don’t know what to say about it, but that was his decision, and just [...]
Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell continues to show why he was the #1-overall pick in 2007. Ok, not really. Russell was putrid in a 16-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and was benched in favor of Bruce Gradkowski in the third quarter. In his defense, his receivers were dropping passes all over the field. [...]
Since the power is in the fans’ hands, why not vote JaMarcus Russell into the Pro Bowl? How entertaining would that be? Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and JaMarcus Russell? How would the other players react? Would they laugh at him? Would they welcome him? Would he actually play? Would he look like a Pro Bowl [...]
It’s official. We just can’t think that this guy has any upside any more. He doesn’t get it, and he never will. JaMarcus Russell is officially a complete and total bust. And it’s not because he played like total craporama for about the 100th time (he hasn’t even played in 100 games, so yeah, do [...]
Oakland Raiders head coach has finally had enough of JaMarcus Russell. After starting the game against the Jets down by 21 on 6-of-11 passing for 61 yards, two INT’s and a fumble lost, Russell was benched in favor of Bruce Gradkowski. You have to be particularly crappy for a coach to consider Gradkowski a better [...]
Former Raiders WR James Lofton went on the Dan Patrick Show recently and was asked about the Raiders awful QB JaMarcus Russell. “Obviously JaMarcus has the talent, but the biggest, fastest guy is not always the best football player,” Lofton said. “I think with JaMarcus Russell we see this huge man _ he is big, [...]
Oakland Raiders WR Darrius Heyward-Bey took a less-is-more attitude towards the New York Giants this week. He’s pretty much taken that approach to every game he’s played this year. The #7-overall pick once again caught zero passes in an NFL football game. To date, he has caught two passes for 36 yards, showing the world [...]
Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell continues to show everyone why he was the top pick in the 2007 NFL draft. He lit up the field on Sunday against the New York Giants with a 100-yard day. It’s been a while since he’s reached the century mark, but he did it on a very efficient 8-13 passing. [...]
Oakland Raiders passing game coordinator Ted Tollner says that QB JaMarcus Russell is doing the opposite of progressing. That’s right, he’s taking steps backwards in his development, and that’s saying something because he was already pretty bad. “That’s an accurate assessment because we really felt like we were making some real strides and the area [...]
For the second straight week the Kansas City will make a decision on Sunday about whether or not Matt Cassel will get his first start as a Chief. For those of you who don’t know, Matt Cassel plays the quarterback position. If Cassel is not able to go, Brodie Coyle will get the nod again. [...]
Wow, didn’t see this one coming. The Oakland Raiders have had a guy in Jeff Garcia that was a proven veteran who played relatively well the past few seasons. Yes, he’s old, but the other option is JaMarcus Russell, who seems more interested in Tastykakes than actually playing NFL QB. Well, now the Raiders don’t [...]
Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable stated all along that JaMarcus Russell was his starting quarterback and it was his job to lose. Well, Russell didn’t lose his job. On Sunday during a conference call, Cable made the declaration that Russell will be his starting quarterback on September 14th when the Raiders host the San Diego [...]
