According to the Contra Costa Times reports, JaMarcus Russell still has a firm grasp on the Raiders’ starting quarterback role despite his rocky offseason practices.
Head coach Tom Cable still seems optimistic about Russell’s progress this season. It is hopefully that Russell will step up when training camp begins next week and really shows his coaches some improvement. Even though Russell remains in the middle tier of quarterbacks fantasy-wise, it is believed that he has the talent to be much more valuable than that if he and the Raiders can develop some consistency in the passing game.
Another player does not have the same good time. Michael Vick worked out with speed and conditioning coach Tom Shaw while confined in his Virginia home, feeling not possible to put on chargers jersey, the St. Petersburg Times reports.
According to Shaw, Vick is in good shape and can still run a 4.4 40-yard dash. Many believe that he’d have to play another position if he were to return to the NFL. But no teams have expressed an interest in acquiring Vick till now, so it is still uncertain whether Vick will have chance to be back with the NFL even if he is reinstated by commissioner Roger Goodell.
