Walter Ready To Battle For Raiders Starting Job
KTVU.com, CA - 10 hours ago
Andrew Walter doesn't care whether the Oakland Raiders select LSU's JaMarcus Russell or Notre Dame's Brady Quinn with the first overall pick in the NFL draft later this month.

In Walter's opinion, the Raiders already have their starting quarterback for 2007.

"I go into anything thinking that I'm going to be the man," Walter said Tuesday during a break in Oakland's voluntary three-day mini-camp. "Right now I'm taking all the reps, so it's a great opportunity for me to get used to the schemes that we're putting in and getting used to the guys and try to get on top of what the coaches are asking me to do. So, I feel real good about that."

The 6-foot-6, 230-pound Walter started eight games for Oakland last season and led the Raiders to their only two wins, but ended the year on the bench while the team started Aaron Brooks and Marques Tuiasosopo over the final two months.
