I'm ok with Zach and the RB's/FB's, but still not sold on our WR's or (entire) OL.
We'll definately see how the play-calling pans out.

Good post, and I'd almost agree.
If our WR's are healthy (R.Curry) and in shape (J.Walker) than I think Russell has a good shot. I intially didnt want K.Robinson. Personally, I think the guy has always been an underachiver. The one thing though is if Oakland signs the guy to a fair/cheap deal, we cant possibly underestimate his value to this team as insurance. Both against the rookies being flops, and against health and in shape issues.
I think Oakland should sign both Odell Thurman & Koren Robinson. I'll be excited to have Thurman, and breathe a sigh of relief when Robinson signs.
Should Russell have a WR Corp to throw to, I think he'll be primed to do some good things.
