David Diehl: Raiders Gave JaMarcus Russell Blank Tapes to See If QB Watched Film
The Oakland Raiders took some extreme measures to prove that JaMarcus Russell wasn't doing everything in his power to be a good NFL player.*
Appearing on New York's WFAN (h/t Andrew Marchand of the New York Post), former offensive lineman David Diehl said Raiders coaches used to give Russell blank tapes to determine if he was studying film.*
Diehl noted Russell would come into the Raiders' facilities the day after receiving the tapes saying that he watched the blitz packages.*
Who would have known that Russell wasn't fully dedicated to being an NFL quarterback? His 52.1 completion percentage, 18 touchdowns and 23 interceptions in 31 games turned him into one of the biggest draft busts in NFL history.*
If only the Raiders coaches had studied blank tapes instead of Russell's LSU tape, they might have opted to go with Calvin Johnson, Joe Thomas, Patrick Willis or Darrelle Revis with the No. 1 pick in that same draft class.*

That's hilarious and pathetic all at the same time.
 
Biggest B-U-S-T in NFL History! This bum got a ridiculous signing bonus when he was drafted. Absolutely Hilarious!

I remember us losing to Gradkoski and Pryor but not Russell.
 
We never lost to Russell, we only played them once while he was there, and that's when Gradkowski and Murphy ***** slapped our defense

I was very pleased when the Faiders drafted him. I saw him a lot at LSU. He was never going to be a great NFL QB. The kid was lazy and couldn't read a defense to save his life. I've never understood why NFL teams get so enamored with arm strength and don't count the guy's heart and intellect.
 
Oh my this is crazy if true. Wonder if they called him out on it?

Dude was like 300+ lbs at one point when he was trying to make a comeback. I'd say him being broke is a safe bet.


Also, I don't think he's the biggest bust ever. What about Leaf? As for non-QBs, Vernon Gholston has to be up there. Remember the hype surrounding him and then he literally never had a sack in his short career?
