" However what I'm Randy -- the Oakland Raiders won their final two games in 2000 makes. The silver and black hoping that momentum will carry over to this season for team preview I'm joined by columnist Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News and -- so much greater success is riding on the right arm of former. Number one overall pick JaMarcus Russell do you think he's ready for a break out here."

" The better because this is it for him I would imagine I mean if he's going to be a star NFL quarterback -- the number one overall pick. The draft usually should be yours being paid to be going to have to happen this year I don't think he's ready to become a star this year. I think -- is slowly slowly slowly evolving into may be an NFL quarterback but it's -- money and take another year to. I don't know is there if they can wait that long though I really don't think they went along but he's got all the talent is he on the DL and -- that you see all kinds of mistakes also. You see some things and it makes you wonder if he's ever going to be an agent. I think -- So much -- team is riding on him they're going to put it on him they want to they want him to carry them. I understand that and I think maybe they have taken it to slow with him but when you put everything on a guy and any falls apart then you're gonna lose a football game. He's going to be up and down up and down and I'm not sure he's ready to take any team to the promised land him maybe LSU was a team is rated B -- that would."

" talk about the deep Rams the Raiders struggled last year especially against -- rot. They didn't make any major personnel moves but they did bring any new defensive coordinator any reason to believe that -- be better in 2009."

" I really don't I think that the open their real weak spot for them. They made the big signing last year those guys really didn't do much -- couples mark -- team anymore after getting huge bonuses. I kind of like rob Ryan as -- that's quarter and then he got a lot of blame for what they did you got a lot of heat that weren't very good for many years. Now Sean Marshall. I don't think is an upgrade there I think that is going to try to do basic stuff and have their players make plays that's what -- always does. But Derrick Burgess is somebody they lost who did not have a great year Lester but he was an important piece of the team for 23 years. I think they're going to take the big -- hard to imagine it is even more step back but I think there and take a step back. They -- who is now know -- third highest paid player in football they would say at a overpay usually keep. -- and I quarterback the one quarterback as we've seen does not stop the run. And his -- the pass on the entire three quarters of the field but he can't cover I think defensively they're going to really really struggled."

" Finally Al Davis known for is just win baby but his Raiders haven't had a winning season and going to the Super Bowl back in 2002. Is this year they finally turn things around in Oakland."

" Does it by all the things I've seen if JaMarcus Russell is not a star quarterback and I don't think he's going to be I think there's a possibility of them but if he's not. No eyes are on anyway and that when he football team. Lot of problems they've had an aerial weapons retirement then that got some guys it really you think okay the emphasis on the -- did have weapons of the past. They don't lack for weapons they had Randy -- on him that it went down there with them. Could get motivated I think it's going to be able thing with a able coaches have that wouldn't get jobs anywhere else up for the Raiders the Raiders are running out of candidates. And a quarterback who's probably going to be given too much to do. It was still on a slow road. Would he says it isn't -- it. That doesn't sound like a winning team to me they might look it you know it's a weak division. Him they might win some games that do me in the reluctant to -- it -- game get a couple good interceptions they've done in the past. But it's time to last excuses mental level losses also. Final -- is about right for me."
