Cable happy with Russell's progress
Quote:
ALAMEDA — Raiders coach Tom Cable said in an interview Sunday on ESPN that JaMarcus Russell is making progress toward becoming a complete quarterback, though it has taken some prodding.
"Well, it's been a consistent message, really, since about Week 10 of last season, and that was that, in order to be a successful quarterback in the NFL, it takes a lot more than people realize," Cable said. "It takes working every day. It's not having a day off. It's spending extra time earlier in the morning, later at night, later after practice and getting him to really embrace that."
Russell, the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2007, showed signs of getting the message late last season, when he put together some of his more-impressive games.
"He certainly played much, much better," Cable said. "So, you expect him to continue that in the offseason. That was really my message, and we keep moving forward that way."
