The Oakland Raiders Coach Tom Cable has not made his final decision on who will be the starting running back in Raiders jersey in this Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, with JaMarcus Russell, Bruce Gradkowski and Charlie Frye being his choices.
“We haven’t gotten anywhere with that decision,” Cable said. “We hoped to be able to talk about it now but we’re not ready to do that. We don’t have enough time yet to get everybody that would be involved in it to have those discussions.”
Russell started the first nine games, but was benched twice in last three games. He was last benched in the third quarter of last Sunday’s 16-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs after going 8 for 23 for 64 yards and replaced by Gradkowski, who went 5 of 9 for 49 yards and two interceptions but strained a hamstring.
So Frye became on the starting choices in case Gradkowski is unable to play because of the sore hamstring. As Russell has had only two touchdowns passes, nine interceptions and a 47.1 completion percentage by so far and has been frequently criticized for his work habits and lack of preparation, Cable may even start Frye, who has been the Raiders’ emergency quarterback all season, in precedence over Russell.
