The other thing is that Russell is NOT a scrambling QB. He is a pocket passer who happens to have good speed and size when he has to run, but he is not a runner. In his sophomore and junior year he had negative yards rushing and he had less (IIRC) than 150 yards this season.

Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said, ‘yeah, why wouldn’t he be?’ Have you changed your mind on that?
EDWARDS: No, I have not.”
