Is JaMarcus Russell Ready To Take the Next Step?

Raiders head coach Tom Cable thinks his team is ready to take the next step towards becoming that playoff team that they want to be.

Trouble for him and his team is that the season is over, so they will have to wait until the 2010 season to prove whatever it is he thinks they can prove.

It was troubling times in 2009 for the future of the franchise, quarterback JaMarcus Russell. He lost two people who were close to him in a matter of months.
