Cohn: Should Cable bench JaMarcus Russell longer?

Miller: He's go to do something to get Russell's attention. I understand the argument he's got to find out who Russell is but Russell is not showing signs he's getting any better. Benching him might get his attention, maybe. Nothing else seems to.

Cohn: People tell me the Raiders have no quarterback better than Russell, so what's the point of benching him?

Miller: They probably don't but you've got to try to do something to make him better. You don't make him better by saying everything is OK.

Cohn: Last week Russell deflected all responsibility after the Jets loss.

Miller: He's very immature and irresponsible. A good quarterback leader takes responsibility. Joe Montana did.

Cohn: What is his future?

Miller: I haven't seen anything to think he's got one.

Cohn: Are the Raiders getting better?

Miller: No, just like I said last week every once in while they'll win a game just because they'll win a game.

Cohn: How will they do against the Chargers?

Miller: I always expect them to lose. The Chargers have beaten them 12 times in row. The Chargers are not in great shape themselves but they're playing the Raiders. 

Cohn: Any hope for this season for the Raiders?

Miller: Yeah, Richard Seymour guaranteed they'd be in the playoffs so I have to take him at his word. He said last week the Raiders couldn't beat a high school team but they don't play any high school teams. That obviously is the kind of team that causes them problems. They're going to be just fine.
