December 2nd - Circle it

Mark your calendars.  During the ESPN pregame show, Chris Mortensen reported that sources inside the Raiders organization say they're looking at the home game against Denver as the big JaMarcus Russell unveiling party.

It's not inconceivable though that we'll wait that long to see them.  Mortensen also said that there's a package of 10 or so plays that JaMarcus  has mastered.  My guess (and this is totally me guessing) is that he's probably familiar with, if not absolute master of, about that many more.  So we're looking at 20 or perhaps even two dozen plays he can reasonably execute.  

In any case, back to what I do know because I heard it said--it's possible that, even though Andrew Walter is the official second string backup today--JaMarcus could be put out there with those plays "if the game circumstances warrant it." (Not an exact quote but real close)

Translation:  If we're either blowing out a team or getting blown out, we'll put in Russell.

In any case, just keeping y'all updated.

Here's to JaMarc
getting us our first AFC West win in a long time.

I'm going to be in Miami when the game goes down, but he's a raging tiger kept in the pen too long.

I'll find a way to watch him.

Awesome
the only thing to look forward to.

I can see us beating a very beatable Denver team and getting our first AFC West win this decade it seems like.

Ray Ray already got the jersey so now we can see what we paid for.

I'm looking forward to our quiet Clark Kent
busting through the gate and playing like Superman.

I really picture our mild-mannered boy putting superpowered beatdowns on the competition.

At least that is what I'm praying for.
