Raiders re-sign Russell, release Miller
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP)—The Oakland Raiders brought back running back Gary Russell(notes) and released kick returner Justin Miller(notes).
The Raiders had re-signed Miller last week but released him Wednesday after he averaged 17.7 yards on six returns in a 29-6 loss to Houston.
Russell provides insurance at running back with Darren McFadden(notes) out two to four weeks with a knee injury and also can help out as a kickoff returner. Russell was released at the end of training camp.

In college, he was surrounded by the best talent money could buy, and matched up against far weaker teams 90% of the time.
Clearly in the pro's, he hasn't the ability, mobility, brains, or instinct to be quarterback. The Raiders have an average front offensive line, better then average running backs, average at best receivers, and unfortunately a far below average game plan week to week due in part to the coach, but also due to Russell's glaring inability to grasp an offense.
The best offensive line in the world can't produce rushing yards when the defense knows the opponents quarterback can't complete 5 yard passes to the halfback, forget about actually throwing downfield.
He sucks. Period.

RAIDER NATION Stop placing all the blame on Russell..!!! to be a consistent QB specially if it’s your 2nd year and a half you need consistent WR.. Our WR’s are rookies I don’t care how good they are they need chemistry, it’s just too bad Chaz Schilens got injured they had something going!!! All defenses know his favorite target is Zach Miller so they are on him!!! We have great RB’s but the opposing deafened is on them because the our passing game is struggling..!!!! Our Deafens is good, but we can’t expect them not to get tired.. We need to have better control of Time of Poss, and that will come when our complete offence has better chemistry not just Russell..!!! The season isn’t over it’s just getting started and we will improve!!!! Tom Cable, Big Al and the coaches it’s up to you to make the right decisions whip them into shape!!!! RAIDER NATION @#$% the rest!!!
