re: Raiders killed Jamarcus

He gets a lot of credit for beating Tennessee on the road in 2006, but he had 3 interceptions and a lost fumble in the game. No comeback would have been required.

We lost 23-10 at Florida in another game where he had 3 interceptions and a fumble.

Yeah I'm not saying he was perfect. But he was pretty good. 2005 was a fun year too, with all the comebacks, as was 2004, when we nearly lost to Troy too.

don't like Russell since the Bama Boy incident.

I mean, that's fair, although I thought Bama Boyz was a reference to a record company his uncle supported.

I also think that Russell and Flynn were done a disservice by Miles and Fisher. Fisher was always going to stick with Russell, who he had recruited since he was an 8th grader. But Fisher developed QB's somewhat poorly in my view, and I wish Flynn and Russell got better instruction. On top of that, there was the whole "two playbook" issue between Miles and Fisher, and there was massive disagreements between Searels and Miles, which affected our running game ultimately, as our running game sucked in 2006 and we didn't do very much to help Russell. I mean, Fisher ran the same WR screens every game, but we still weren't all that creative. Who knew that 2006 and 2007 would be highpoints for a decade for our offense though.
