Raiders OTA's Underway..
JaMarcus Russell made his first public appearance as the Raiders quarterback since last Dec. 30, the day he completed 23 of 31 passes for 224 yards, one touchdown and one interception in a 30-17 loss to the San Diego Chargers.
Judging from a single OTA practice, always a risky proposition, the Raiders are working on getting Russell to make quick, safe decisions, get the ball out of his hands, and sacrifice risk-taking in the name of efficiency.
“It’s going to get better,” Russell said. “Everything doesn’t get better in a day.”
Russell threw mostly short and medium range passes, never once showing off his legendary arm with a laser 50 to 60 yards in the air. He rarely threw from a dropback position, rolling to his left or right. Infrequent dropbacks were short and usually deliveries were made quickly.
And to hear Kiffin tell it, the Raiders were wheeling and dealing.
“We’re throwing a lot at him right now to let him still make those mistakes right now,” Russell said. “Then, as we get closer, we’ll go back to exactly what we’re going to do in the order on game day. But right now we’re still taking a lot of chances with him and see what he can do and let him make those mistakes now.”

 Dear Esteemed members of the news media,
Since the ouster of Art Shell in early 2007, the speculation regarding Al Davis’ relationship with his head coach’s has undergone a great deal of “scrutiny”.

| Raiders 2008 Offseason Purge In Motion |

 Written by Raider30 at RAIDERTALK.COM
Anytime we discuss our off season moves it always seems to come back to a discussion of the recent past. Many argue that these moves this year are due to poor drafting and poor player development over the recent years and that they are merely desperation moves to try to fix the damage that Al Davis has done.

He is a pretty-good sized individual, probably about six-foot two-inches tall, judging from the video and pictures one sees of him.

Those of us who are longtime Raider fans know that Al Davis does not rebuild he simply retools. So are the Raiders in the midst of rebuilding or simply retooling?

Raider fans walk with a more graceful rhythm today. The way we feel nowadays, being a Raider fan may just come back into style. For others at least. Like the black jerseys, we haven't changed.

With the season now ¼ of the way done, I thought it might be interesting to look at some of the stats underlying the current 2007 campaign. Let's start with the defense.

Well, Jerry McDonald pretty much covered most of the details in his blog. I have to say, after being there today, I give mad props to Jerry for being able to see all the things he does. There is a lot of stuff happening on two fields at the same time and he’s very skilled at picking up on a lot of little things (like Seabass throwing the ball to the kids behind the fence).
