The sun broke through the clouds during JaMarcus Russell's first practice as a Raider, but there was no rainbow or pot of gold.
The gold will come when Russell signs his contract. The rainbows will come when Russell isn't throwing against the wind, as he was Friday morning.
"Hit the cutoff man next time," chided linebackers coach Don Martindale when one deep fling came up short.
Russell, wearing No. 2, operated as the No. 3 quarterback behind Andrew Walter and newly acquired Josh McCown. He never cut loose with the breathtaking long pass, although there were a few mid-range lasers which reached their target in an instant.
He was big, of course,"a monster of a man," as defensive tackle Warren Sapp put it.
Russell's velocity was a hot topic. Sapp took notice of a bullet caught by wide receiver Johnathan Holland.
"I bet he's got some markings on his chest," Sapp said. "If nothing else we're going to learn to catch with our hands or somebody's going to the hospital for some trauma."
"Looks like someone hired a jugs machine and put a jersey on it," wide receiver Jerry Porter said.
Russell, with limited action, showed good mobility and seemed to blend in well with his teammates. None of the quarterbacks were exceptional. Walter, in fact, had interceptions by Thomas Howard and B.J. Ward taken back the other way for what would have been scores.

There is a quote for ya...reminds me of a fan that bugged Roger Staubach in the lobby of a hotel to "hit him with a hard pass"...Staubach was refusing to, the fan kept annoying him...he zipped him the ball and shattered his watch... ...nothing like a little zip on the ball...

Oh, Russell will start, no doubt about that. He's gonna struggle a bit till they build the team up around him, though.
