Kirk Morrison radio interview: talks about FA, Sebass & Kiffin
Oakland Raiders starting linebacker Kirk Morrison was on 1090 am sports radio in San Diego today with host Darren Smith and he talked about various topics.
Morrison briefly talked about how plays John Madden football on XBOX live and the host jokingly asked about JaMarcus Russell’s rating on the game. “I haven’t looked at that yet,” Morrison answered. He continued, “I run Wildcat.”
On the coaching situation with the Raiders:
I can’t worry about what happens within, who you bring in as coach or, what happens to the coach. Only thing I can control is my play on the football field.
On his pending free-agency:
Time is going to tell.
I’ve spent a lot of good time in Oakland. I played my heart out for that football team.
This is the NFL. This is a business. And people don’t see that side of it.
On Sebastian Janikowski:
I have to give my guy props too – Sebastian Janikowski. Who I felt should be in the Pro Bowl.
He’s just automatic.

On Lane Kiffin’s move to USC and his time with the Silver & Black:
No, it wasn’t a surprise at all. People are getting mad at Lane for what he did. I don’t fault the guy at all. At all.
We were a team that was rising. I think we started off 2-2 – his first year. And then we just kind of, went on a little slide. But we were still getting to learn Lane Kiffin. And then before you know it, a couple of games in, you know, he was let go.
Wherever he’s been, he’s brought an attitude, he’s brought a confidence, he’s brought a swagger and he just hasn’t had, let his plan fall all the way through.
