JaMarcus Russell Cut by the Raiders
JaMarcus carefully lines up an interception
Really, you at the back? You thought they’d keep him on the books and pay that $6.45 bonus he’s due to warm the bench? Admittedly, he can warm a lot of bench, but still…
Less than two weeks after trading for Washington’s Jason Campbell, the Raiders have released Russell. The #1 selection from the 2007 draft leaves them after taking $39 million for a total of 7 wins.
It’s hard to imagine any team taking any sort of a chance on him now, though I guess stranger things have happened, which means we’ve seen the last of him in the NFL. I, for one, won’t miss him though I guess I do feel for the guy. A bit.
Anyway, wherever he his (my guess is comfort eating in an IHOP) he’s free of the Raiders and they’re free of him.

Week 9, 2010: Kansas City Chiefs @ Oakland Raiders
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
The Chiefs visit the Oakland Coliseum for a Week Nine match-up with the Raiders in what will be a surprise table-topping battle in the AFC West. The Running Game Both teams go against the grain of what many expect of successful teams in the modern NFL, with their powerful running game taking priority over the
Week 2, 2010: St. Louis Rams @ Oakland Raiders

This week I’ll be taking a look at the Oakland Raiders and their visit from the St. Louis Rams. The Rams have been the whipping boys of the NFC West in the last few years, and have only managed 6 wins in the past three seasons and haven’t had a winning season since 2003. This
First Look 2010… AFC West
about 1 year ago - No comments
So with our final part of this year’s First Look series, we turn our gaze towards the AFC West. As well as the Chargers, who were part of the great entertainment at Wembley Stadium in 2008, NFL UK fans will also keep an eye on this division for the Broncos who will be visiting these
JaMarcus Russell … Bust Again
about 1 year ago - No comments
Honestly, I don’t like having continual goes at this guy but he really does make it very easy. And images like this one will not help any chance he has of getting his career on track any good at all. If he has problems, then I hope he gets help. If there was ever a
First Look 2010… NFC East

I did pretty badly with this last year, predicting that the Giants and Eagles would go into the post-season as winners and wildcard respectively. In the end, the Cowboys surprised and the Giants disappointed to swap places from my predictions. Unfortunately the ‘Skins did no better than I thought they would and were propping up
Redskins Review – Offseason Progress So Far
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
Back in early January I took at look at what new coach Mike Shanahan would need to address during the off-season. Now that the draft has been and gone, let’s take a look and see where we are. Each in turn… The Offensive Line Chris Samuels retirement left a gaping hole on the left side
So Long Jason Campbell, Be Well
about 1 year ago - No comments
It’s been a tough time for former Washington Redskins’ quarterback Jason Campbell. His days were numbered from the moment Donovan McNabb came over to the burgandy side (and I’ll be talking about that another time). He signed his tender, but no-one really expected him to stick around. In fact, the only real surprises have been
Andrew’s Redskins’ Review. Now With Added Shanahan

So a disappointing season has limped to and end. Back in my First Look articles, from last August, I saw us finishing last but was hoping we’d make a fight of it. It wasn’t really to be. The likable, but perhaps out of his depth Jim Zorn has gone, in a move that is in
Andrew’s Redskins Review – Week 6

Well, it’s all getting a bit silly isn’t it? In all honesty though, I never saw us doing more than propping up the division so I’m not hugely surprised at our results. Just how bad we are though… that is surprising. Another scoreless first half, more of the same again and again. I just… really,
Andrew’s Redskins Review – Week 4

Well, talk about a game of two halves! First half… well this was just awful. All the same issues cropping up again and again: 4th down calls, Jason Campbell throwing interceptions twice whislt trying to get the ball to Kelly (one bad throw, one bad decision into double coverage), Campbell fumbling to allow the Bucs
