ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable seems to have struck gold with his decision to replace quarterback JaMarcus Russell with Bruce Gradkowski. Cable's experiment with the defense also seems to be working out fine.
Trevor Scott's move from defensive end to linebacker has gone so well, in fact, it's surprising someone didn't suggest the change much sooner.
In the two games since switching positions, Scott has three sacks, four quarterback hurries and five tackles for loss while giving Oakland's run defense a much-needed lift as well.
